I always enjoy myself at Acapolcos. Their food is tasty and prices reasonable for the portion size. The waiters have always made me feel welcome. The margaritas are very good and the bar is not intrusive into the dining areas. It is as close as I have to a "comfort restaurant" in the area. I love their off menu roasted jalapenos and the optical illusion art in their lobby.
I wish I was there right now!
My husband and I went for dinner tonight, using a LivingSocial ($10 for $20 of food) coupon. Acapulco's is basically Chi-Chi's, except with tremendously high prices for a low- to mid-end Mexican restaurant. $13 for two microwaved cheese enchiladas...insane. We should've gone to Border Cafe, where even the seafood enchiladas are only $11 and the cheese enchiladas about no more than $8, and the rice and beans aren't canned.
I'm going to get a refund on the second Acapulco's coupon I bought.
Used to be one of our Sunday lunch outings, today was the last day. We are never going back. Seems quality has dropped. I always get the El Paso chimichanga, as its the only thing I found that I like. I have tried the tacos, and did not like. Today I got the taco salad. Um. Lettuce salad is more like it. Ground beef was maybe, maybe, 3 tablespoons. Â Other than that, just a lot of lettuce spread across the plate and a very small tortilla shell. Some cheese and tomato. Awful.. 0 flavor. Â For $9.95. couldn't have cost them more than $2 to make this plate. I was expecting a big tortilla shell, filled with ingredients.. And maybe some salsa topping?? Oh, and some, flavor?? Very disappointing. My friend got the El Paso chimichanga, as I recommended it. Â He said it was just ok. Â On my last visit, I found service to be S.L.O.W. Â Today sealed the deal. I wish there was ONE really good Mexican restaurant around the West Roxbury area, as this one is no longer an option..
Maybe Restaurant Impossible needs to pay them a visit.
The Salsa and mole sauce are the only things to keep.
