    For $42, I expected chile relleno, guacamole, and tri-tip that was edible. Tri-tip too tough to consume. Buy a better grade of tri-tip, Most customers I assume dumped their tri-tip, as it was not edible. I tried twice, 15 minutes apart, to ensure I did not get the same roast. This meal would be fairly priced at $24, not $42.

    Another GREAT Sat night dinner at Acapulco/CM! From the moment that KC warmly greeted us to the FANTASTIC meals that charming Hector served us, it was A+! Despite being busy, the staff got the food our quickly and even the table-side Guac was SO fresh, my husband practically inhaled it! The Ceviche was freshly made and I had to slow down to savor the wonderful Cheese enchiladas and Beef Taco. Can't wait to return!
