Parking lot in rear. The chips were delicious. Our food took a long time to come out and so we finished the chips while waiting. We subsequently ordered another basket of chips because we were still waiting for our food. My food,Seafood fajitas, was tasty. The seafood was fresh. The peppers were not cooked enough. The chicken flautas were flavorful, but the chicken was inconsistent across the 4 flautas; some of the chicken was over cooked. The menu listed piña, coladas, and margaritas, implying that there's alcohol served. They do not serve alcohol and did not specify that the drinks were non-alcoholic. The place was busy and the only waitress at the time also had to answer the phone. She had a pleasant demeanor even though it became very busy. By the time we left, a second waiter, also the delivery man, came to help her wait tables. The lunch crowd was rowdy, so it is not a good place to have a lunch meeting/conversation. There was a beautiful aquatic mural on one of the walls. I was surprised when I received my bill and there were hidden charges: $2.00 for the 2nd set of chips and $1.00 for the to go box. The waitress should have mentioned that these items would require a charge. read more

Outstanding authentic Mexican Food. I love their chicken enchiladas, but have tried other dishes as well. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Loved it! The fish and vegetables so fresh., The Mexican soft drinks soooo good! What a great dinner. Walt read more

I've got nothing bad to say here, we've been a couple times, once for dine-in and the other to go (on Christmas eve). Both were excellent, we've really only tried the Salvadoran dishes. The pupusas are some of the best around and the best I've had, my wife who is Salvadorian said the same. The Salvadorian tamale with crema is next level, so damn good!!! The service was very friendly, when we were in dine-in it did take a bit for food to come out but I assume that is because they were making things fresh which I appreciate. Now, the green salsa that comes when you dine in is amazing, I need to buy this in gallon jugs because I couldn't stop eating it, I polished off most of the chips with this salsa alone. The red salsa was also very good. We did a large order for Christmas Eve dinner and it was excellent and fed us for a few days. I am excited to try their Mexican menu too. My only wish is that it wasn't so far from us, otherwise I'd be here at least 1-2 times a week. read more

The food was ok. I enjoyed two of my four chicken flautas. The last two tasted like they had been in the fryers too long. We were charged for a second basket of chips without being told and we were also charged for a to go container. This restaurant is also BYOB. A positive is the beautiful ocean themed mural in the wall. read more

I haven't had authentic Mexican food like this since I left Mexico. The seasoning is excellent. Everything I tasted was so good . Getting the food is slow because they cook fresh food upon order. However, everybody is very kind and patient. The restaurant is very beautiful and colorful. I truly recommend this place. read more

Found this place on Yelp, based on reviews. I had there eggs rancheros with my cheese, it was very spicy (in a good way) with rice and beans. I also bought sweet plains which were amazing. The portions were great. Can't beat the prices and the staff was friendly. read more

Had lunch today at the Acapulco Mexican Grill. The service was wonderful. Waiter was very friendly and quickly answered all our questions. Had a vegetable chimichanga. It was excellent. Loaded with lots of various fresh grilled vegetables. The beans and guacamole on the plate were a great addition. We tried the green sauce. Super good. We also tried the chicken chimichanga. It was excellent. Both dishes were full of wonderful favor. We will definitely be returning. read more

Acapulco Mexican Grill - Vegetable chimichanga. Other plate chicken chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Long Branch, New Jersey

Restaurant had good reviews so we decided to try it. Looked authentic but it sadly wasnt. The nachos to start were pretty good, however they contained a hair in them so that was a bit of a turn off. At least they were kind enough to remove it from the bill. The food overall was disappointing, the burrito lacked flavor along with the rice being flavorless as well. It is the first time I have also seen sweet fried plantains with sour cream on top, not a good or authentic side dish. The meat was overcooked as well for the Salvadorian platter. read more

amazing amazing amazing! absolutely loved this resturant, the service was excellent, the food was the good and the overall vibes and feels of this place is amazing and i could not recommend this anymore than i can. read more

Good choice, friendly service. We went on MLK night and it was empty which was surprising. Salsa and chips with freshly made guacamole were good, the tortas and tostados were nicely done and plentiful, we all left full and satisfied. Want to go back for the posole!! read more

The food was fantastic. The person I dined with is from El Salvador and also love the food and felt it was very authentic. I wish I lived nearby here to eat this food regularly. read more

Tried to make it 4.5. The food is great! so was the service!! It's a tiny place with no ambience. If you can;t see past the basic decor keep going. It's a BYOB and a real bargain!! Dinner for 2, with appys was $55!! We will definitely be back!!!! read more

Went there for bfast last Sunday. A little whole in the wall on the corner. Parking in back. The place was clean and neat. Service was very good and friendly. I had Huevos a la Mexicana. It was excellent. The beans were terrific, and the rice was pretty good. The home made tortillas were outstanding. I want to try this place for lunch or dinner. read more

I think the food here is great. Definitely in my top three Mexican places. They might be my #1. Plus they are the only place around me that has papusas. Clean and friendly inside. It was also nice that the girl at the counter spoke english very well. read more

Decided to eat here after driving through the area and looking at yelp reviews for a place to eat- very very good! Ordered 2 different meals and we each loved our dinners. Quesadillas were good size and came with a side of rice and beans (or a salad). If we're ever in the area we'd definitely go back. read more

I will say the food is really good! They give you chips and salsa to start. The salsa is a little watery but it does have avocado and nopales inside of it. The food came out in good timing even with a Sunday after church rush. It was really good and you always check by tasting the rice and beans and they were on point. It is BYOB but there is a liquor store right down the street. A little pricey as it was 13.50 for a burrito, rice and beans but I am content with that as long as it's good. Highly recommend. read more

the tacos are outstanding. The gaucamole is homemade and fresh. The people who work the counter are cool. For one thing, they explain the various dishes (its Mexican cuisine from a specific part of Mexico, not Tex-Mex like most Americans are familiar with) they didn't roll their eyes when I tried to show off to the people I was with by ordering in broken Spanish read more

This place is a hidden gem. I have been ordering from here for years. Food is always fantastic, fresh, and great portion size. They even make their own taco shells. A true authentic Mexican restaurant, it is my favorite one on the jersey shore. The interior is very traditional and the food is fantastic! read more

My husband & I have been coming here for a few years. The food is great, friendly servers & vibes, but occasionally it takes a long time to get your food. It's a BYOB, that helps make the wait a bit easier along with the chips & fresh salsa they provide. The sopes are my husbands fave, burritos are jam packed & super filling, and the tostadas are just enough along with the side of rice& beans. Going there tonite, hope it's as a good as usual! read more

The waitress is super friendly and the food is authentic. This was my first time here with my friend and we will definitely be back!!!!! We had shrimp ceviche, queso fresco, pollo chimichanga, pollo y queso quesadilla and flan. I look forward to eating my leftovers later. read more

Acapulco Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Long Branch, New Jersey

I've been a resident of Long Branch for most of my life and have noticed Acapulco for years but didn't go in until last night. Its cozy inside and our server was very friendly and down to earth. We were given complimentary chips and salsa (green and red salsas) which were very good, especially the green! My mom ordered a vegetarian and cheese-free burrito and her serving was quite large, came with a salad, rice, beans. I ordered a verde chicken enchilada. It was amazing, the green sauce was really tasty, the corn tortillas were crispy (also side salad, rice, beans). Its a really nice little establishment and I'll be back. Also, very reasonably priced. read more

Great food and nice service. Real authentic food. Awesome pico de gallo and guacamole. Burritos are good and mole sauce too.

Excellent food (I had Chicken w/ Mole sauce) and the waitress was very friendly and welcoming. I think we found our new favorite Mexican restaurant. read more

WAY WAY WAY.....Overpriced, horrible service and the food was not that tasty. Will definitely not be returning. thanks for nothing. Authentic hahaha Please!... read more

My wife and I have dined here several times. The standard menu items and the specials have consistently been excellent, and the mole is as good you'll find in the Northeast. And I've been to a bunch of Mexican places in the Northeast... Very friendly owners will take care of you; remember to bring your own and enjoy a VERY reasonably priced high quality and authentic meal. read more

So good!!! Everything we expected. Ordered from a different Mexican restaurant in the past and this place is definitely the best so far. Loved their tamales! And their rice and beans! Almost as good as abuelas. Would definitely recommend and get from again. We got it for delivery, phone service was polite and nice. The burritos are absolutely perfect. Also love how much salad they give lol they're guacamole is also great. Just a great place, everything we hoped for and was anticipating for. read more

Best Mexican food that I've had in a long while. Burrito is huge and chimichangas are out of this world. Great guacamole and they give you a ton if you order it on the side. Well worth the money and the food is authentic. read more

Delicious, authentic Mexican and Salvadoran food. This is not TexMex food. The chicken chilaquiles were incredibly tasty, and the burritos were huge. We'll definitely eat there again when we're back in the area. read more
