   Enjoy the food and the option of inside and a nice outside patio option for seating. It was too loud however to have a good conversation. Mostly the music, but also a couple of large parties. Parties actually are understandable as they were holiday parties, the music just made it louder.

   Great service! Good Sunday brunch buffet. Got there early 10am and it was not too busy. Waiter was on top of the bottomless mimosas. I would go back.

   We loved our waiter Roberto he was very attentive to us. For the food aspect, I was very disappointed in the choices. The turkey was very tough and dry. Also, the selection of foods was not worth the $40 a person.

   We LOVE going to see our friends at Acapulco, especially Hector! Talk about 5 STAR service! Not only was the food spectacular (fajitas, tacos, enchiladas, rice/beans, margaritas, table-side guacamole, etc.), but everyone works SO IMPRESSIVELY as a TEAM at this restaurant! HECTOR is such a great person (and BRILLIANT!), but even when he gets very busy w/lots of customers, he still manages to make us feel special - EVERY TIME! The mgr stopped by and assisted us in making plans for our next visit, Thanksgiving! This place makes you feel like family when you arrive and you can't wait to return to such good food and WONDERFUL folks like Hector, the mgr and the gentleman who was delivering food from the kitchen. THANK YOU for the nice date night out! See you soon!

   I came seeing the good reviews and the staff was very nice. However we can during happy hour and ordered some things off of that menu, the ceviche did not taste fresh and the quesadillas were 1000% canned chicken lol. I was at a loss for words, never in my life have I been to a sit down restaurant and was served fricken canned chicken, I am still in shock hahaha.

   If you are hungry for GREAT MX food, this Acapulco in CM, is the BEST place to go! The food ALWAYS tastes freshly made (which it obviously is!) and the staff (including our charming and professional Server, Hector) takes it over the top! The food was SO good, we ordered more To-Go so that we can have another great meal from Acapulco, at home. Thanks Acapulco and Hector! It was a fun evening! See you all again, very soon!

   Service was very good. The steak fajitas and the carne asada was chewy, definitely would recommend staying with other meats. Flavor was good on our other dishes. Nice waiter and they were more than willing to replace entree for different option.

   THE MANAGMENT DID NOT ACCOMODATE OUR LARGE GROUP WITH PROPER SERVERS. IT TOOK OVER AN HOUR BY THE TIME EVERYONE AT OUR PARTY WAS SERVED THEIR FOOD. A FEW MEALS WERE NOT EATEN DUE TO TEMPATURE AND TASTE OF THEIR MEAL. THE SERVER WAS SWEET BUT OVERWHELMED AND DID NOT HAVE ASSISTANCE FROM THE MANAGEMENT.

   Our server Jose was fantastic! He did what he could with the large parties he had outside. He was very personable and gave us some great suggestions. Our food was good and our drinks were very good. The happy hour cadillac margaritas were with every penny. We'll be back again.
