  Great for in the middle fo South-Central VA. It is actually pretty rare for me to come to Blackstone and not have a meal in this place. Reasonable food, quick and professional service and cheap prices keep me coming back. The fare is pretty varied for a small town Mexican restaurant and overall I have never had a bad meal. Definitely on my must eat places in Blackstone.

  Solid Mexican fare. My carne asada steak was quite good and a large portion, served searing fajita style over grilled onions and cilantro. My other dining companions all complimented their's as well. My wife said her chicken tacos were good and she liked that they were lighter and less greasy than other versions she has had elsewhere. Only criticism is that one of the kids ordered fries with her taco and it came out w/ rice and beans. When this was brought to their attention they took the whole dish back rather than just leaving it and bring the fries out when they were ready. Also, they were a little slow refilling glasses and my wife and I would likely have ordered another beer if more promptly asked. Nonetheless, all around it was a pleasant meal with friendly service.

  The rolled and filled pancake-like snacks (tacos) served here are sensational---tender wrappers enfold a variety of fillings from beans to cheese to pork, and a combination of the same. We eat our fill, but save room for the other house specialty, chicken fajita's, a dish of pulled chicken breast, doused in liberal amounts of cheese and seasonings speckled with cilantro, and served with the ubiquitous scoops of cheese and onions. There's also a beef taco, chiles rellenos and the carne asado, freshly-grilled steak with cilantro and spices.
  
  A hole-in-the-wall location often signifies authenticity when it comes to ethnic eateries, but it rarely forebodes gastronomical innovation. Quite understated Acapulco's, however, serves up daring, progressive Mexican cuisine for which you would expect to be forced to endure a week-long waiting list. This is not the place to go for white cheese- and sour cream-slathered hard tacos or quesadillas, but you'll soon forget about your neighborhood Blackstone, VA burger joint the moment you savor this chefs' creations.  
  
  Besides being an ultracasual neighborhood kind of place,  Acapulco's has the unique distinction of being open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Can't sleep? Stop in for a taco or two.

  Acapulco's offers quick service and good food!  I eat there often and particularly like their fajitas.  Their guacamole is freshly made and yummy!
  
  Their smoking section is in the back at the bar area so no walking thru a cloud of smoke to be seated.
  
  Our guests have given us good reviews about Acapulco's, as well.

  After a long day of working at a golf tournament, we brought our weary bodies to Acapulco for a much needed margarita and maybe a snack.  Well immediately upon looking at the menu i noticed the 2.75 sangria and was stoked.   Everyone else hunted for the margarita and saw none.   WTF?  Its a mexican restaurant!  Well unfortunately they lost their liquor license and therefore no margaritas.  Seriously... if you're a mexican restaurant and lose your liquor license, change to something else!  I wanted a margarita.
  
  We ordered some queso and bean dip that wasn't bad at all, and i decided to get a 3.75 buritto.  Well i should have saved my $4 and waited to eat until wawa the next morning.  It was literally just ground beef and tortilla.  No sauce inside.  Nothing.  Ground beef.  I ate it cause i was hungry, but i was really disappointed.
  
  And my 2.75 sangria?  Tasted like grape juice.   No fruit.  
  
  Basically the most disappointing meal ever... but it cost me less then $10 w/ tax and tip so i really can't give it 1 star.
