    Great new restaurant, glad they opened up another spot off of Saratoga. The food is really good, the service is great. This is probably the best of all the locations. Maybe because it's brand new definitely give them a try.

    This place opened up near where I live, so my mom, sister, and I decided to give it a try. It is fairly new and you notice the cleanliness of the restaurant as soon as you walk in. They even have a drive through for to-go orders. We were immediately seated near the bar. The chips that were brought to our table were rather bland and tasted something like I could buy at a grocery store. The salsa was decent though. I ordered a parrillada with a mix of fajita, chicken, shrimp, and veggies. The parillada was brought to my table piping hot, but it took a while for the rest of the sides to arrive. That just didn't make any sense to me on why they did that. To add to that, my entree only came with two tortillas, so I had to put in an extra order of tortillas. That's not that big of a deal I guess. The side of pico, sour cream, and guacamole was very watery in the dish that they were served on. Overall, the food was average at best and nothing to rave about. Our server was friendly and courteous, but seemed a bit too busy to properly attend to our needs. The rest of the staff seemed friendly as well, so no issues there. I will wait a while before I try this place again to see if the quality of the food improves.

    It's not like the other Acapulcos this one has a nice bar area. The drinks are amazing, I've tried some of their new dishes that other Acapulcos don't have. 10/10 recommend. Great service everyone is so nice & friendly.

    They charged $1.38 to toast the tortilla in my taco and then didn't toast it. Greedy restaurant. NEVER AGAIN

    This place came HIGHLY recommended to us from my family. They said this is where you get authentic…read moreMexican cuisine. As a vegan, that made me excited because actual Mexican food usually has less cheese and can be made vegan. The business is quaint. There was a friendly hostess to welcome us in and our server was very hospitable. We ordered the chile relleno without cheese, zucchini in pasilla pepper sauce, and mole verde off the vegetarian options on the menu. We also enjoyed guacamole and chips. Our server was happy to accommodate our vegan modifications and it was really easy to communicate with him. The flavors are just WOW! Hands down the best guacamole of my life. The sauces are vibrant and rich. Everything tasted so fresh. And the prices for this quality of food cannot be beat. My husband and I literally licked sauce off the plates to make sure we did not miss one ounce of that authentic Mexican flavor. This place is top of our list of businesses to visit next time we are in town visiting family. We had an incredible experience and cannot wait to continue to explore the vegetarian menu options.

    After searching online for places with strong ratings (4.5 stars or higher), we decided to try…read moreGuajillos. Unfortunately, our experience didn't match the reviews. I'm not a professional food critic, but I do know seasoning, regional Mexican flavors, and what well‑prepared food should taste like -- and this just wasn't it for us. The restaurant didn't feel well-kept, and it appeared that only one server and one cook were working, plus we and another couple were the only ones there. We were served chips and salsa to start. The salsa, a taquera‑style orange sauce, was actually the best part of the meal. The chips, however, were extremely hard, not fresh, and definitely not warm. They looked house‑made, but whatever they were fried in made them almost inedible. I ordered the ribeye street tacos, and the steak was overcooked, had an odd taste, and wasn't enjoyable. I asked for extra cilantro and onions, which didn't happen, and the chimichurri they brought out was basically oil with a few seasonings floating in it. I almost complimented the Dr Pepper because it had a unique sweetness -- until I realized why. The red glass had visible staining on the inside. When I wiped the rim with my napkin, it came off dirty. They also don't offer straws, so whatever residue was in that glass is what you end up drinking. Between the food quality, the cleanliness concerns, and the overall condition of the restaurant, this was a no for us. How this place has earned such high mentions is honestly beyond me.
