    Very disappointed! Seated late even though we had a reservation. Quality of food not the best and was cold. Empty trays of food that we were not able to try since they didn’t get refilled. Drink jugs empty and when I asked waitress about it, she said we can get soda. Kid choices also disappointing. Never again!

    My husband and I decided to try Acapulco for our Thanksgiving dinner. There was a carving station with Turkey and Ham. The price included an all you can eat buffet with the Thanksgiving trimmings, Mexican food and a taco bar. It came with a bottomless non-alcoholic beverage or mimosas. The food tasted so good and did not disappoint!! We really enjoyed our meal and the service was excellent. We come here on the weekends for the breakfast/brunch buffet too. Acapulco is a place to enjoy your meal with someone special or the family.

    I went for the Thanksgiving buffet. Adults were $39 and children were $13. The food was a mix of American and Mexican. Great quality and the staff were friendly and gave great service. Would recommend it for anyone.

    I enjoyed eating at Acapulco. My only complaint is that the salsa was a total disappointment! It was so watery that I couldn’t even scoop it up with a tortilla chip!!

    The food and service was wonderful as usual! Juan is the best server ever! He always makes sure we don’t run out of chips and salsa, and keeps the drink refills coming! He is very attentive and always makes sure we are happy! He is one of the reasons we have been dining at Acapulco for so many years! His service is top notch! We will definitely be back soon! Thanks!
