I stopped by Acapulco Bar & Grill this morning after another taco spot shorted me a taco order. Very glad I made the switch. First off, the building itself looks great. Clean outside, well designed, and it stands out compared to a lot of places around town. I didn't go inside this trip, but the drive-thru experience was excellent. The young woman taking orders and handing out food was very friendly, and everything came out fast. I ordered my usual gringo taco - potato, bacon, egg, and cheese. The first thing I noticed was the tortillas. These were clearly fresh homemade tortillas. Hot, fluffy, and full of flavor. That alone puts a taco spot ahead of a lot of places in Corpus. The bacon and eggs were cooked perfectly. My only complaint was the potatoes. They were definitely overcooked. They held together until I picked up the taco, then basically turned into mashed potatoes. The flavor itself was excellent though. They just needed a firmer texture. I also ordered a barbacoa taco with cilantro and onion. The barbacoa was cooked perfectly with a great meat-to-fat ratio. It could have used a little more salt, but overall it was excellent. Great experience overall and definitely a place I'll be coming back to. read more

Greedy Greedy Greedy that Acapulco charges 79 cents for onions on chalupas or the same for cilantro and surprisingly same charge for corn tortillas extra grilled. If I hadn't looked at the details on my check, I wouldn't have caught these charges, very deceptive to customers. I wonder what other extras they slipped in my bill on previous visits. No other Mexican restaurant charges for those simple extras that makes Mexican food great. Your food, service and atmosphere are basic in comparison, just hate when a restaurant is greedy and takes advantage of their customers. Couldn't believe that Acapulco does that, many of my friends and family were disappointed and didn't know. Greedy and disappointing. Please tell me and everyone that you are stopping those sneaky greedy charges. read more

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. read more

An upgraded Mexican food option in Corpus Christi. I'm not sure if this one related the Acapulco on McArdle Rd, but I really enjoyed it. The food was great, the Pepsi was ice cold and the service was good. They being out 3 dips with complimentary chips for lunch, which is new and nice. The restaurant was just built, so it's nice and well decorated. Plenty of staff, plenty of drink options too. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

Brand new place, gorgeous inside. Packed when my husband and I visited about 6:30 pm. We had to park in the back by the drive through. We were greeted and seated immediately, given menus and our drink orders. Complimentary chips with 2 salsas and refried beans were brought to our table. They have an extensive menu with lots of breakfast choices too. We chose beef fajitas and a beef taco salad. Food was fresh and hot, not the most flavorful but that's what salsas are for! Guacamole was excellent. Service was friendly and attentive. The place is sparkling clean even in the restrooms. The only downside was the noise, it's very loud so bring your stadium voice. Total for two soft drinks and two entrees was $38.72 including tip.0 read more

Okay, I went back and tried it again. The Tejas plate of enchiladas and carne guisada was fantastic! Carne guisada melted like butter in every bite! The gravy was awesome Rojo with some tang to it. Rice was good, I still get over-the-counter packaged salsa. Tripas taco was really good. read more

I like the different dishes this Acapulco offers. The Fire Roasted Corn dip is delish with the chips and so is the 3-variety Sopas dish. Each time I've eaten there, it has always been crowded and I've never had a problem with the service or the servers. read more

Been there twice for a sit down lunch, first time had 3 different waitresses come by trying to take our order after suiting there for a while. They were all confused as to who was bringing the food. Second time sat there for 10 minutes and couldn't get a waitress sto stop by our table had to walk out and leave. read more

We went for dinner after Christmas eve church service. They were busy. We had a group of 6. Service was slow , menudo was not great all, beef n chicken fajitas were so dry. We ran out of chips n salsa and it was like pulling teeth to get refilled. Same with drink refills. Server was nice but had NO personality. Place was loud with many customers. Was very difficult to enjoy meal. Cheese enchiladas and flour tortillas are good. We overtipped the lady only because it was Christmas Eve. Not sure I'll go back anytime soon. read more

They're a brand new Taq. Acapulco that opened up this summer by Turf Sports on Saratoga. A nice, large brand new construction with tons of parking and a double lane drive thru for takeout... finally had 1st visiton on a Sunday evening and had a fantastic experience with the family- although the large parking lot was nearly full our group of 6 got right in were seated almost immediately. Immediate impression- it is exceptionally clean, tons of seating, modern and spacious with a great bar area. Drinks, chips and salsa brought right out that included a trio of dips, all very good. All the classic taqueria options at this place but many, many new ones to which our server gave great recommendations. Highlights this night were the street corn appetizer, fresh made Sopes & an amazing Mariscos Tower. Still many new dishes we'll have to come back and try next time and hopefully remember to get pictures of the actual menu to update here....Overall a 9 out of 10 for first visit, thanks for the outstanding service! read more

Purchased takeout through drive thru. Cashier quoted one price, but charged more upon presentation of credit card. No notification about a credit card surcharge verbally or in writing. When I addressed charge discrepancy, cashier and manager said, "There used to be a sign in this window." No sign or notice today, when I purchased at this new establishment for first time. Doesn't seem honest. Leaves a bad taste! read more

Food was very good! Everyone's food was very hot and on point! Will definitely be going often

The tarasca sauce was very plain and they brought my husband the wrong dish and had to wait until they fixed his order. The drinks were better than the food. read more
