"Limited parking. The wonderful aroma of the place hits you as you walk up to it. You're given homemade chips and salsa when you sit down. Their horchata is creamy and delicious - best I've had in awhile. I has their taco plate with 2 shrimp and 2 fish - delicious. My husband had their chicken fajita and said it was delicious."

"A group of us dined in our first time after some nearby baseball games and each of us were really happy with the fast and hospitable service by our waitress. Food was DELICIOUS, the mango margarita is 10/10. I actually called the next day to order breakfast tacos but I’m not from or familiar with corpus so I didn’t realize there are two Acapulcos on saratoga. When I walked in to pick it up, Lisa, the manager told me she has asked the other location to specify which cross road when a phone order is placed to avoid the mistake. She was so kind and understanding of the mistake and she put in and rushed an order for us. She was really incredibly kind. We will definitely go back and hope to see Lisa! This restaurant is excellent!"

"The food is really good. Usually busy to steady. Staff is pretty much on point with the exception. Bathroom small, but clean. Hand sanitizer as you go and sit down. The parking lot is a bit of a pain."

"I almost forgot how good the tortillas are at Acapulco. Thick and they leave a little flour on your hands. I’ve never had a bad meal here. Great menu with lots of options. Friendly staff as well. A must do anytime I’m in CC."
