    First time here and first time eating at an authentic Mexican restaurant. We ordered the combo with the beef enchilada, taco and burrito and a beef quesadilla. Everything was good except the enchilada. The flavor was on point in that taco and quesadilla. We also got complimentary chips and salsa. I'd eat here again

    The place is a little worn, the floors are reminiscent of the floors in the 1980's. The place is in need of a deep clean and makeover. There was a good crowd that meant a loud room, even with the Covid plexiglass - which was in desperate need of a deep clean all around. My kiddo got the chicken tenders and fries and a soda, I got seafood tacos and water. Our bill came to $27.12 which was too much for the meals. My sons chicken tenders and fries was $8 and his soda $3.95. The seafood tacos were bland, the beans bland the lettuce with pico and as excellent. The chips and salad were tasty and plentiful. I ended up not eating all the beans nor the corn tortillas from the seafood tacos. There was an abundance of imitation crab, a good amount of shrimp and a few talipia pieces in the mix. Compared to other options close by, I'm not sure this is a place I would visit again, nor recommend.

    A wonderful Mexican restaurant with plenty to choose from, food and drinks alike. There is a nice outdoor seating area as well as a spacious indoor area for seating. The hostess was extremely friendly and welcoming. Absolutely no complaints on the food and drink, but it was fairly slow when we were there, and we kind of felt rushed. But all in all, was a great dinner!

    Just not great. Ordered the Chicken Mole and it had a thick layer of sauce over it, like it was slathered from a can. Didn't eat much, one of the wait staff came over when I asked for the check and commented that I hadn't eaten much of it. It was an uncomfortable exchange which ended with her telling me "well you ordered wrong". I didn't order wrong, the food is just that unappetizing.

    First time here and was impressed on how quickly they had the food out to us. Chip and salsa came as soon as we sat down. Chips were fresh and the salsa was good. Not coated in nasty cilantro like most places. Pepsi was spot on. Taco meat was different in a good way. Not just with taco seasoning but they had onion, peppers and crushed tomatoes in it. It was like a Mexican chili. I'm going to start adding that to my tacos.

    An absolute classic for Mexican food, everything about this restaurant is a great big hug of happiness. The staff is top notch, always impressing me with their quality. The food is always incredible, seriously, this place has some of the best chimichangas I've ever had. Period. Go check this place out and grab a margarita too, you deserve it.

    Carnitas wasn't on the lunch menu, but they made it for me, so they're cool in my book.

    I absolutely love this place. It’s a family owned restaurant and has such a welcoming feel to it. The food was also quite good. If you like your food a bit salty, then you wouldn’t like this place. They don’t over-seasoned their food, and that’s why I love it. The owners were extremely friendly and welcoming. In addition to this, the prices of their food is quite reasonable compared so most places. I highly recommend this place.

    We came for lunch today, a Sunday. We got chips and salsa very quickly and it was good. The man who took our order was either having a bad day or didn’t like us. He was very abrupt when he talked to us. My partner got the Al pastor dish and I got nachos supreme. Both dishes were just quite under seasoned, the queso on my dish was super runny, there was a ton! of lettuce on top, almost to hide what wasn’t there. He called his a soggy mess. No one asked us if we liked anything. We ordered our dishes, and were able to eat it some of it so, I paid for it. It wasn’t the worst thing I’ve had but unfortunately we won’t go back. 38$ for what we got, to me, is overpriced. I’m disappointed, I really wanted to like this restaurant.

    I’ve never actually had bad Mexican. But this was the worst I have ever had. I got it to go tonight and wanted to try this over chipotle because it’s family owned but it was gross. The hard taco was so soggy. The shell itself was soggy and the whole thing fell apart. The burrito was so coated in red sauce that it was soggy as well and not even a burrito. It was flat with barely any meat in it. I never write reviews either But I just walked almost a mile from my hotel to get this and it was 12.99 plus a tip. Maybe check your to go boxes before you send them off with a customer. I guess I should have but the reviews seemed pretty good so I trusted it.

    Even if you’re not a fan of mexican, this place has something for you! (I was brought with some family, if you’re wondering why someone who’s not a fan would come). They also have some great margaritas and the service is amazing, they’re very nice. Great experience and in a convenient location. Will come back!

    Went for dinner with my husband. Walked in and we were the only ones in the restaurant. There were no lights on and no air conditioning. It was easily at least 80 degrees in there. We should have left at that moment. After ordering we received a pitcher of margarita that literally tasted like lemonade. There is absolutely no way there was alcohol in it. Our food came to us so quickly that it could not have been made fresh. $45 bill for nothing but disappointment.

    Margaritas that are out of this world good. I’ve never had a bad experience with the food or staff. Always on top of service but not in your face every second either. Portions sizes are almost always too big to eat in one seating, which is a great thing! So friendly with an amazing in house salsa. Indoor and outdoor seating to your liking. For two people, two adult drinks and plenty of food to take home we were around $40.

    If you are in the area, you have to eat here. The chimichangas are amazing. The fajitas Texans and the Steak Mexicana we're on point. Plenty of fresh toppings. More chips and salsa that you can handle. The staff are amazing, they are personable, friendly and very happy. The margaritas are killer! All at a reasonable price. What else can you can you ask for!

    I am in town visiting a friend and we tried this place. First we show up close to closing (I know, I know not my best move)and we still got nothing but genuine smiles. The drinks were good the chips and salsa were on point. But the food oh my the food was amazing. Chicken moist and full of flavor. Couldnt chew the steak it melted in your mouth. This was amazing and I could go over and over.

    So I called in and asked about their tacos and he told me about their ribeye street tacos, authentic Mexican style tacos, so I've had authentic ones before, so I confirmed that these had cilantro and onions, he said yes, and I ordered it, it was $15 for 4 but it was a lot of food. Plus complementary refried beans, chips, and salsa. The Tacos were KNOCKOUT, so good, I was extremely impressed. Definitely the best part of the meal and something worth trying.

    The food is amazing! Best Mexican food I've ever had! The service is always fast and friendly, and NO ONE makes better shrimp fajitas. Or tacos. My husband & I drive all the way across Columbus to eat here.

  • 4/5 Melissa S. 9 months ago on Google
    I have visited this restaurant for over 20 years. The food and atmosphere are nice. My pic shares the steak,chicken and shrimp fajitas. Came out nice and hot. Very good. The other plate is the grande shrimp chimichanga. It was okay. It was watery and the shrimp was on the tough side. A lot of great food.

    My family and I enjoyed our dinner today. My daughter liked her children's quesadilla and rice. Very juicy. My husband enjoyed his fajitas. And I enjoyed my burrito supreme dish. The children's menu could use some work. For example, my daughter and son really love to have rice and beans with their meals. Half the kids menu was American food and the other half was like tacos + french fries which really threw me off. I didn't want to add beans to my daughters kids meal, at that point it would make sense to just get her a combination dinner platter for the same or almost same price. But overall this place was good. The sweet lady made our entrance nice by greeting each of us individually and just looked joyous all around.

    If your in the mood for quality Mexican food look no further. After the friendly server took the order, the food was quick to arrive at the table. I highly recommend the chicken quesadilla. Chips and salsa were good as well!

    We are staying nearby for a little family trip. Decided to eat here because it was in walking distance and the menu sounded delicious!! We were not disappointed!! Amazing food...huge servings!! The staff leaves you with such a warm feeling. So welcoming and cozy. The margaritas....order one you will not regret!! I have nothing but wonderful things to say and a warm full belly!!! Thank you El Acapulco for an amazing dining experience!!

    Stopped with a group of friends on our way to Milwaukee. Restaurant was within walking distance of our hotel and turns out was a great choice. We had a group of 16 and were able to be seated when we walked in. Chips were fast and drinks followed quickly. Food orders were taken and delivered quickly. All meals were excellent. My wife was celebrating her birthday and they brought her a small cake and lead us singing Happy Birthday

    This is hands down the BEST food and margaritas I’ve had in Ohio. I drive the extra miles for the great food and great service! The owners are absolutely fabulous!! This is my once a week splurge on food and I enjoy it every week! You definitely need to try this restaurant!

  • 5/5 Shawn J. S. 1 year ago on Google
    What an amazing find. I will be making this a regular stop whenever I am in Columbus. Awesome service, great margaritas, and good selection of vegeterian options. Family owned and I felt like part of the family there.

    There were about 13 of us tonight celebrating a retirement. Excellent service! We did not have to wait long for our food and everybody got exactly what they ordered and it was all delicious! A big thanks to the kitchen staff, the waitresses and the owner!

    First time here, had heard only good things. Food definitely met my expectations. I had the Ohio Special. Had plenty of leftovers for the next day. Would love to go back and try other selections.

  • 5/5 Chandler J. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered pick up from this location. Food was prepared well, food was hot and delicious, location was easy to get to, but when coming in to pick up my food I didn't feel very welcomed. Being from fast food in the past, I understand bad days happen but it had a negative impact on how I viewed the restaurant at the time. Won't hold it against them though.

  • 5/5 Johander P. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was amazing one of the best mexican food i have ever had. Just wonderful. Staff are very welcoming and friendly

  • 3/5 The B. 2 years ago on Google
    They need to step up they're quality of food. My Steak burrito tasted watered down. The prices are ok. They made me feel a little uncomfortable but all in all it was ok. The cops and salsa where amazing but my veggies where old.

  • 1/5 Julieta R. 2 years ago on Google
    So I had an overnight here. I work as a flight attendant it was my birthday and I wanted to sit and eat and just enjoy my day. I walk in, there’s a sign that says “wait to be seated” so I’m waiting. A couple comes in after me and are seated immediately. I however am asked what they can do for me. I’m like I would like to get something to eat. The waiter just waved me off and I didn’t feel like he was cordial or friendly in any way. I would not recommend this place to any flight crews or anyone because of this guy’s rudeness. If I could give zero I would.

  • 5/5 Dawn G. 2 years ago on Google
    My husband and I were there with a very large party. The servers did a wonderful job getting food to us in a timely manner. We both had a burrito. One steak and one chicken. Both were really good. The margaritas were exceptionally delicious!

  • 5/5 Ritesh P. 2 years ago on Google
    We walked in and were greeted and seated quickly. Luis, a member of staff, was very friendly and jolly. Juana was quick to serve us and would constantly check up on us. The service of this is place is good and food is too.

  • 5/5 Chance C. 2 years ago on Google
    Plates were hot! Food was hot! Salsa is very very good! Food was tasty, also got are plates pretty quick! Drinks were pretty good too, larger portions which made me very happy after working 12 hours a day! Didn't break the bank either!

    My husband and I visited with our two year old and we both agreed that it was the best dining out experience we've ever had with him. All 3 staff members we interacted with were incredibly sweet and engaged a lot with him, asking him questions, giving him high fives, etc. Dining out with a toddler can be so stressful and other parents will understand why it meant so much to us that the staff was great with our son. Besides that the food was great! I really liked the chicken and steak fajitas and my husband loved the burrito. Our son is in a picky phase so he didn't touch his quesadilla, but he loved the fries and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed his quesadilla at home for lunch the next day :) We will be back! Thank you!
