I visited this restaurant hoping to experience a new culinary adventure in the area. However, my experience turned out to be quite disappointing. One of the dishes I ordered was delivered with a foul smell, specifically from the wet burrito sauce and fajitas. Upon further inspection, I discovered a hair in one of the food items. I promptly informed the waitress about the hair and the unpleasant smell. Surprisingly, she assured me that there would be no charge for the hair found in the food, despite the fact that there was no foul odor and the food itself was not visibly damaged. However, the taste of the fajitas was severely compromised. It became evident that the restaurant’s cooking practices were subpar, resulting in an unhealthy and unpleasant dining experience. I strongly advise against dining at this establishment, as their food preparation methods are not only unappealing but also potentially harmful to one’s health.

Such extraordinarily friendly and attentive service! Nice chips and salsa, affordable prices, and good portions. Definitely recommend the fajitas! And there’s a large back patio for outdoor seating which is a hidden gem.

We stopped in here for dinner when I was craving some nachos, the waitress was very attentive and let us pick our booth. I ordered the nachos and my husband ordered the wet burrito. The burrito was huge and he said it was very good. I really liked the nachos but would have preferred queso to the shredded cheese on top. Overall it was a solid spot and I would definitely come back!

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.
Complimentary Salsa and chips are fantastic. Chips are thin and fresh and the green roasted chile salsa is wonderful and addictive.
Moving on to entrees, the chile verde is quite good, nice chunks of pork in a garlicky green chile sauce. Pair with their salsa and fresh tortillas….its very good
The enchiladas are generously portioned. Also quite good.
The fish tacos are terrific, especially if you drizzle some of their salsa on top.
Tortillas are hand made. Some are thick. Some are thin. All are fresh and arrive piping hot
Our waitress was friendly and didnt hesitate to refill our salsa and chips and checked on us.
The food took a long time to arrive but no worries, conversation comes easy when you feel like you’re eating at grandma’s house.
I think the husband runs the front and the bar, while his wife cooks. I could be completely wrong. But the kitchen might be short staffed. Hence the wait.
They have a nice bar up front with a good selection of tequilas. And theres a decent sized court in the back for outside dining
They have a small parking lot with about 10 spaces, but in all likelihood you’ll have to park on the street.
The clientele veers towards the older side, but it also tells you that the food is solid and the value is good.
All in all, Acapulco is a neighborhood Mexican restaurant. Nothing fancy, prices are moderate, service is warm.
They say go where the locals go. While Alameda maynot be a hotbed for Mexican food, i think Acapulco is a solid choice. I recommend it. We will return.

Awful food and awful service. Nothing is cooked fresh and the food was completely unappetizing. There was some sort of argument going on in the kitchen. Save your hard earned money.

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!

We were greeted as soon as we entered the door where the friendly bartender had a good sense of humor joking with my daughter. The waitress was very friendly as well and the whole experience was very prompt and efficient. The green enchilada sauce was phenomenal! The Jalapeño Margarita was nice and refreshing. The brownie that my daughter got was warm and delicious!

This was such a nice surprise! We thought it was part of Acapulco chain. Turned out it was a family run stand alone place. Very good food and comfortable atmosphere. I think it was a really good “mistake” lol that we found this place. Highly recommend going there. My daughter had carne asada plate, I had taco/enchilada combo. We had the cheese/jalapeno dip and guacamole/chips for appetizers. Chips were warm. Delicious! Oh, also we had a margarita and Pina colada. Also very enjoyable.

Really good food and great service. My kids loved the rice ,beans and tacos. My husband and I loved the Chile verde and the Margaritas are delicious.
Edited to add:
The food is still delicious I had the same thing as always the Chile verde and my husband had the Mole enchiladas and my daughter had the quesadillas. Only bad thing was my plate is a $18 plate and I feel their plates lacks presentation and they don’t offer you sour cream or anything to make it look presentable. In my opinion the cheaper taquerias make an effort to serve you something that looks better.
