   it was Taco Bell Tuesday we arrived for our reservation there was not many people in the restaurant . Taco Tuesday was good there was a choice of meats to put in the tacos and stuff to put on the sides beans onions salsas they were very good on freshly made tortillas. We also ordered from the menu a dinner #5 which was a beef enchilada and relleno rice and beans that was vvery good. Service was not really up to par. there seemed to be one waiterAlberto in our area he took our order and then disappeared it took a while for our food to come out of the kitchen then he disappeared again glasses went dry we were done and waited for the check he came with the check and it took a while for him to pickup my card and charge our meal suggestions maybe more wait staff to handle the dinning area will I come back ? yes I will

   It had been a long time since I had some good authentic Mexican food and Acapulco fulfilled my expectations. The food and service were awesome. I am so glad I found this restaurant to celebrate my brother's 65th birthday. During making reservations online I added a note that I was celebrating his birthday. I thought they didn't read my notes but after dinner the staff came over and sang Happy Birthday to him and they had even decorated the saucer with a chocolate 65 which made it very special. He was so happy and enjoyed the experience.

   Chips and Salsa is the best. Entrees are ok. We tried most, I suggest Fajitas

   It was New Year's Eve...the food was good. The prices are great when you have 10 grandchildren and spouses. It fell on Taco Tuesday. It's 5 m8nutes from my home so we watched the valley drop in New York and was home by 10! Perfect!

   What a nice evening dinner we had at Acapulco! They were VERY busy and there were SEVERAL parties all around us, which made the whole restaurant come alive! Our Server Hector, Mgr Hector and the entire team work SO hard to make everyone feel pampered and special! Not only was the food quality , EXCEPTIONAL - including the Seafood! - but the staff visited the table often and was VERY attentive to our needs. (They had to be exhausted when they went home they were almost RUNNING to each table!) Thanks again, for a great time, Hector and Hector and team! Look forward to seeing you again for another wonderful dinner!

   CHRISTMAS DAY DINNER TIME ONLY: understandably that the staff to customer ratio at this time/day is crazy. Food was taking longer, staff was short etc

   We had a great time our waitress was so perfect. She is a lovely girl and a great asset to the company. I don’t know her name, but I wish I did. The food was great. It’s a very reasonably priced buffet with bottomless mimosas and there’s nothing else I can say but fabulous

   We took advantage of their All-You-Can-Eat buffet on Christmas Day. We arrived a few minutes early prior to our reservation time, but they were able to seat us right away. Two different buffet tables were set up. There were a lot of choices and the food was excellent. Our server Daisy was very pleasant and efficient. We left with very full stomachs! Overall, it was well worth it.

    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.
