   We LOVE going to see our friends at Acapulco, especially Hector! Talk about 5 STAR service! Not only was the food spectacular (fajitas, tacos, enchiladas, rice/beans, margaritas, table-side guacamole, etc.), but everyone works SO IMPRESSIVELY as a TEAM at this restaurant! HECTOR is such a great person (and BRILLIANT!), but even when he gets very busy w/lots of customers, he still manages to make us feel special - EVERY TIME! The mgr stopped by and assisted us in making plans for our next visit, Thanksgiving! This place makes you feel like family when you arrive and you can't wait to return to such good food and WONDERFUL folks like Hector, the mgr and the gentleman who was delivering food from the kitchen. THANK YOU for the nice date night out! See you soon!

   I came seeing the good reviews and the staff was very nice. However we can during happy hour and ordered some things off of that menu, the ceviche did not taste fresh and the quesadillas were 1000% canned chicken lol. I was at a loss for words, never in my life have I been to a sit down restaurant and was served fricken canned chicken, I am still in shock hahaha.

   If you are hungry for GREAT MX food, this Acapulco in CM, is the BEST place to go! The food ALWAYS tastes freshly made (which it obviously is!) and the staff (including our charming and professional Server, Hector) takes it over the top! The food was SO good, we ordered more To-Go so that we can have another great meal from Acapulco, at home. Thanks Acapulco and Hector! It was a fun evening! See you all again, very soon!

   Service was very good. The steak fajitas and the carne asada was chewy, definitely would recommend staying with other meats. Flavor was good on our other dishes. Nice waiter and they were more than willing to replace entree for different option.

   THE MANAGMENT DID NOT ACCOMODATE OUR LARGE GROUP WITH PROPER SERVERS. IT TOOK OVER AN HOUR BY THE TIME EVERYONE AT OUR PARTY WAS SERVED THEIR FOOD. A FEW MEALS WERE NOT EATEN DUE TO TEMPATURE AND TASTE OF THEIR MEAL. THE SERVER WAS SWEET BUT OVERWHELMED AND DID NOT HAVE ASSISTANCE FROM THE MANAGEMENT.

   Our server Jose was fantastic! He did what he could with the large parties he had outside. He was very personable and gave us some great suggestions. Our food was good and our drinks were very good. The happy hour cadillac margaritas were with every penny. We'll be back again.

   Our server was great! We were seated quickly and given a few minutes to look at the menu before placing drink order. Our server checked in on us periodically and they even sang Happy Birthday to my dad whom we were celebrating.

    My friends and I decided to try the All You Can Eat breakfast brunch. It was fresh, delicious, plentiful. The pozole was my all time favorite. I did not try the menudo, however, it looked delicious. There were corn tortillas being made fresh in front of us. Breakfast items which also included omelettes to order. Special for the young and old alike including chicken tenders, mini corn dogs and cold cereal selection. There was a fajitas bar, made to order. I didn’t even make it this far. It looked delicious. Chicken tamales, huevos rancheros were delicious. There are too many things to mention, but it was all fresh and delicious. The dessert bar was also so yummy. The bottomless mimosas were included with the single price of $36.00. They also sent out an amazing stack of pancakes, that everyone raved about. Now for the staff. They were all so welcoming and attentive. I cannot wait to come back. Definitely worth the drive from Lake Forest.
