I don’t have a Mexican mom, but I guess having dinner at Acapulco would come close to having dinner at her home…good food, good portions in a place that looks like family home from the 70s, dim lighting and fixtures included.

I’ve been looking for an old school Mexican restaurant for about a year now and I’m so happy to have found Acapulco! I have the enchiladas cheese and chicken and they were amazing! Got chips and salsa for free which is very rare these days! The only downfall was my soda was $4 a wee bit overpriced. My server Isabella was absolutely amazing the atmosphere was wonderful. I highly recommend this restaurant!

This is a really good option for authentic Mexican food in Alameda. Points for not being another taquería which there are plenty of in the area. I haven’t tried it yet, but I hear this is the place to go for Chile Colorado.

What acquaint restaurant, it’s huge inside with almost private seating areas, very clean & friendly staff but very short staffed, only one waitress who was sweet & kind, alittle slow moving though. We sat outside in the back, a beautiful day, the food was just ok, chicken in the enchiladas was dry, beans & rice were good, excellent chips & salsa, charming ambiance, I’d go back again,

They used to use fresh strawberries in their strawberry margarita(delicious!), however lately they are using a strawberry flavored syrup instead. Very sad.

Old school, retro vibe. The chips are EVERYthing! Fresh, crisp & flavorful. The shredded beef tastes like abuelita is in the kitchen throwing down. Make your own joy with a watermelon margarita, get a sugar rim– you’ll thank me l8r!

Food was pretty good, but service was a bit slow. The place itself is really nice, and there was coloring for the kids.

Good food with generous portions. Prices are as reasonable as ever. Wait staff is friendly and attentive, much like the previous owners. As a 20-year patron of this restaurant, who resisted the ‘recent’ changing of the guard, I was pleasantly surprised with both the quality and pride of service. Would recommend, and will always remember the portrait lined walls and virgin strawberry daquiris of my youth. A timeless hang-out, run by unforgettable people!
