Acapulco

worst ever! Ugly place. Ugly food. Sad service. Sad people. Frozen vegetables. Undercooked chicken. Pineapple from a can. Hardly any sauce. Stale moldy chips.

I was looking for a good Mexican restaurant as I am from out of town. The chips and salsa were very good however the guacamole was very bland and so was
the rice in my dish. My chicken dish had good flavor
Overall just average

Wait a minute. Whoever went here and didn’t have a great meal at a low price is either extraordinarily picky or flat out lying. I’ve lived in Texas, for several years, and was overjoyed at the quality of food I get at Acapulco’s. Sure, they have traditional fair but look a little deeper and the expanded menu is great. El Sombrer or my personal favorite, the Arroz con Marisco. Chori Pollo, Pollo con Espinacas while my wife is a big fan of the Acapulco Taco Salad. My son is crazy for Tacos Locos. Get some guacamole fresca made by Chely and you won’t regret it. I’ve been going here since they opened. It’s awesome.

I make it a point to eat here when I’m in town visiting my aunt. I celebrated my 40^th birthday here. Great staff and the food is always great. The chicken fajitas are the best ever.

Great place to eat. All the times I have been to this Acapulco, the staff is always friendly and the food tastes amazing. Their margaritas are great as well. For authentic Mexican meals, definitely one of the best I’ve had thus far.

Had the chefs special tonight, seafood with corn, mushrooms, and cheese. Served with a mango salsa, excellent!

Best Mexican food in the region. This is a no frills environment so don’t expect luxurious accommodations but if you want the best, most authentic Mexican, Acapulco is the place to get it.

Great place! Chori Pollo is amazing. Chips and salsa are good too! Friendly, fast and fantastic food.

I don’t know why all the complaints. The food is fresh and authentic tasting. The décor is obnoxiously colored, sure, but the color palette is what we americans really associate with mexican food so, I let it slide. All the staff appears to be mexican as well, they speak broken english, which to me, is a good sign when you have staffers of the same background as the food they are selling. It’s an authenticity thing. :) What really makes this place amazing? The incredibly generous portions of good food you can get for basically the same price as a fast food combo meal. That right there, plus the timely service (at lunchtime you can literally be in and out in 30 minutes) makes it a great place in my book. It’s one of the best food bargains I have come across in this area.

Worst Mexican I’ve had in Cincinnati.
Food… Not very good
Service… Even worse
Ambience… Worse still
Won’t be back.

Acapulco is a smallish chain of Mexican restaurants scattered around the Cincinnati/​Northern Kentucky area. The Milford location is the only one I’ve eaten at so far. I work nearby, and go there pretty regularly for lunch. It isn’t the nicest Mexican restaurant I’ve ever been to by any means, however the food is fantastic. I would go as far as to say it is not possible to find better Mexican food in Cincinnati.
First of all, their fresh salsa is some of the best I’ve ever had. I have no self control. I’m stuffed by the time the meal comes because I cannot stop eating the chips and salsa. The enchiladas monterey is one of my favorite dishes of any restaurant I’ve gone to. I am surprised at how cheap their lunch steak fajitas are. I mean, they’re made with pretty high quality steak, and are incredibly delicious.
It may just be my imagination, but it seems like their beers are a little small. They have tall beers, but they are huge. It seems like there should be something in between. I was there for lunch on a Friday once, and decided, «what the heck, it’s Friday; I’ll get a beer.» Remembering that the regular beers seemed a little small, I thought a tall would be just about normal size. Nope, it’s like, Hofbrauhaus liter size. Good thing I didn’t have anything particularly important to do that day at work.
From my experience the staff have always been very friendly and attentive, at least during lunch hours. Acapulco easily earns 5 stars, and is one of my favorite places to eat.

Had the worse experience of my eating life at this joint. Not enough help. Not enough people who knew what the hell they were doing.
There was actually a line of people attempting to leave the restaurant but no one would let them pay, that was longer than the line of people waiting to take a seat. And… the line of people waiting to get in was about 12 people long. Yep… that means there were about 7 different groups waiting to pay their bill to get the hell out of there.
Just awful, terrible, I hate it.

Okay, I’ve been haunting this spot for the last 8 years, since moving here from California. I was accustomed to great Mexican food from the west and this is the best served in the area. If ambiance is your goal, this isn’t the place for you. But, excellent service, and wonderful meals are to be had at this spot. I take friends and family here with wonderful reviews… enough said just try it!

I have no axe to grind here, but I’m going to be honest… If you want authentic Mexican food, stay away. The food is horrible. Enough said!

Being originally from the west where good authentic Mexican food is plentiful, I was pleased to find Acapulco when I moved into the area. I had had trouble finding authentic Mexican food. Me and my bf go there sometimes twice a week. The salsa is amazing and fresh. The Acapulco dish is particularly good here. The service is always great. The waiters/​waitresses make friends with their customers and one waitress in particular always stops to chat with us. Their tamales are not my favorite but everything else I’ve had is sooo good! Portions are good too.
