Located within a little strip mall with easy access parking, this Mexican restaurant is clean, colorful, and bright. The staff is so welcoming! We were immediately seated, given menus, and shortly thereafter presented with the BEST TASTING, complimentary hot, fresh tortilla chips and house made red salsa! Price point is very reasonable. A small pour of Merlot for under $6. I recommend the Mexican Street Corn appetizer. Fresh corn off the cob mixed with mayonnaise, cheeses, spice and a touch of lime. Yum! My companion enjoyed a Horchata and the Pollo Monterey. Though, aside from the delicious refried beans, the entree was blander than not. Noise level was moderate on this weeknight. Recommended. read more

Delicious food! Horrible service (common in Lansing, no one cares about what they're doing).

I stopped in here for a quick lunch before getting back on the road I ordered the three shrimp tacos, which comes with rice and beans and a couple salsa They arrived fairly quickly. They brought me chips and salsa while I waited They were tasty, but the shrimp was a little too salty for my taste, but I looked past that because I was hungry The shrimp had that nice little pop when you bite into them Ate quickly and got back on the road read more

2nd trip here. First time was a packed house on a Friday night. This time was a Monday evening spontaneous decision. Both visits were very good. I had a build your own nachos the first time, and enchiladas Acapulco this time. As someone who lived in Texas for 15 years I found it very satisfying. The restaurant is clean and the service was great. This particular location might be my favorite TexMex restaurant in mid Michigan. read more

Pleasantly surprised by this Acapulco. It was very clean and staff was friendly and prompt. The chips and salsa were way better than most places. I ordered the shredded chicken quesadilla (only $7.50 a La carte) and it was packed with meat and cheese! The small side of guacamole was also a great size. Not much options for mocktails but overall it was great! read more

I ordered Christmas dinner at Acapulco (Didn't have order) said the management had my order In in has pocket and he's gone for the night I had 16 people over. (so that's way) 16 people with no food( Acapuico can kiss my ass read more

It used to be really good. However, about 6 months ago it started going downhill the quality just wasn't very good. I decided to give some of the other wonderful Mexican places around here a try and hadn't gone back to Acapulco until today. I happen to be out near there and needed a quick lunch. Unfortunately not only has the flavor not improved, but my enchiladas were extremely dry, had no sauce on top of them whatsoever and the portioning of the rice and beans was abysmal. I probably will not be back again. read more

This might have been my third time here. It was above average the times before, but not yesterday. Two of us had monty's revenge afterward (sorry culture language police) and we have guts of iron! The food tasted very average on this trip. The fish tacos were just a hash of wet fish that dissolved the soft taco. It all fell out when we picked up the taco. Fish tacos should always be deep fried. I didn't even look at the menu to see how they were described. Did it say "wet fish hash"? Who ever is running this needs to check on the kitchen. It's problematic. Sad to see a standby fall down. read more

Okay so this place took me by surprise! We were hungry we saw a Mexican restaurant in a strip mall and thought what the heck let's give it a try. Well if I am in this area and what Mexican this will be my go-to place. The food was good, the drinks were strong, and the staff was friendly. Looks are very deceiving from the outside to the inside. I truly expected a diner with a Mexican theme but this is a full-blown Mexican restaurant. They have several specials on the board daily, call and find out what is the best day for you to stop in! read more

We are on a road trip from San Diego and are traveling for a few days in Michigan. We've been craving some good Mexican food just like we get at home. We had dinner at Acapulco tonight and it was very good. We both got the beef taco and pork tamale. The tamale came with shredded pork on the inside and a combination of ground beef and beans in a red sauce on top. It was delicious and sooooo filling. Check this place out if you're in the area. read more

Acapulco Mexican Grill is the name now. Same address & phone number as Cancun, Changes submitted by on the Yelp site. Just new management and fantastic dishes served up. Better than good, i.e. GREAT Mexican that has consistently been right on target. Awesome salsas, fajitas, enchiladas and burritos. Perhaps not a big deal for some, but the often overlooked refried beans at other places are stellar here. Very rich in taste and definitely not boring. read more

We have been going to this restaurant since they came to the west side of town. Tonight we had the worst experience. The server was condescending and the manager was worse. I am so disappointed. This was part of our weekly rotation. Whenever friends and family come to town this WAS the place we would take them. I have never felt so disrespected. Racism is real and this is another reason the 92% are standing down. read more

Awesome place with delicious food. Very kind people and friendly! I will continue to come here!

I thought it was an excellent meal. Food came out fast. The server didn't linger it was clean and tasty. I would definitely come back.

Wow! Excellent experience and food. Not from this side of town and my coworker and I were searching for some good Mexican and we found it here. Colorful and clean decor. Friendly staff and delicious food. Once you are seated, you are greeted with warm chips and fresh salsa. Went with a regular frozen margarita and I was happy with the size. My coworker got a jumbo (rough day) and she was equally happy with her drink. Menu is vast and tons of options - menu is a couple pages long. Good selection of combos and all for under $11.00. Great deal and great portion size. I asked for a side of sour cream and the portion was huge - cost was $1.99, geesh! My only complaint. I went with combo 11 which included an enchilada, taco, and rice/beans. Everything was delicious and served hot. My combo was not swimming in sauce and the ground beef was perfect. My coworker went with a quesadilla and nachos. She was happy but did note how there was too much lettuce on the nachos. More like a salad with nachos on top. Great experience and if I am in the area again, then I would come back! read more

I am so sick of Lansing trying to do Mexican food and failing and this is another one of those spots. Warmed tortillas from the grocery store but wrapped in foil is the most white people love tacos thing you can ever do. All the ingredients are very basic. Lack heat and flavor. I asked for the chicken quesadilla meal and got a $6 quesadilla appetizer , I was already so over it to say anything else . I had ordered a cocktail and the cup they brought it in had dish soap from an improper wash and when I asked for a new one I was looked at as crazy . The new one wasn't any better but at least no soap. They are sloppy and the place / seating is small and cramped . I have no idea why they are highly rated because this place doesn't know Mexican food if you spelled it out to them. Skip. read more

Good food authentic flavors. Pricey but affordable for what you get. The ambience is acceptable.

The food is good, coming from metro Detroit where there are plenty of authentic food options, Acapulco does not disappoint. Some items could be better prepared, carnitas are a bit dry, service is good staff are attentive, ambiance definitely an tell you are in a Mexican restaurant. read more

Food is great, margaritas are even better. Service is always good. Can't get enough of the chips and salsa.

I had the fajita burrito and it was amazing. Portions were large (couldn't finish) and everything tasted fresh. On top of all that, the staff was so nice and accommodating and really made the visit enjoyable. read more

Just received my delivery food order..Super fast And Warm n tasty. Love the chips n salsa too. Super customer service. Highly recommend. read more

This place is AMAZING!! I have been to a lot of Mexican grills but this place is different. The Tamales are perfect. The way they cook the rice and charizo are just chefs kiss. If you want to eat some great food I highly recommend checking this spot out. The presentation is excellent whoever went the extra mile to decorate the place really cares about appearance and representation. I am thoroughly impressed and will for sure make this place a regular spot. read more

The food was amazing! Great service and very well thought out atmosphere. Highly recommend!

I love coming here, always great service and food, in my preference, much better than Cancun! Definitely try the barria tacos!!!!

Look, this beaner right here grew up a stones throw from Mexico. I never thought I'd find some good Mexican food this far north. Service is great for takeout orders the food is still piping hot and the packaging is excellent but I can't say the same for dining in - could've been a bad day but I've only dined in once. You trying to get fat off Mexican food? This is the place. read more

I think my order was wrong on DoorDash. I think I actually got someone else's order that being said the enchiladas I got those were pretty good pretty bland, but I put salsa on them so that was fine. The chips were good. The rest of the meal was just meh. Not the best not the worst. It was OK. read more

Ordered Quesadilla Verde with chicken. It was more like a flour tortilla with onions. Hardly any chicken or cheese.Horrible waste of money.

Excellent food, will come back again!! The service was also very good!I recommend this place to anyone who enjoys really good Mexican food!! Very clean place and friendly wait staff! read more

I travel to Lansing regularly for work and Cancun is one of my go to places. Tonight, for example,I had fish tacos. They are simple, delicious and unlike any other I have had. One of my companions had the steak tacos which were similarly simple, fresh and tasty. I have never had a meal that I regret here. read more

Food was ok. Came in just before Sunday afternoon rush and service was terrible. Waiter acted like it was a bother to refill water and bring extra napkins. Waited 15 min for Bill once finished eating. Would not come back. read more

Went back again, just for margs and chips, and the food and service was just as good if not better! Margaritas are consistent, strong, yummy, and good price.Cheese dip was good; it came in a dish that made it easy to eat all the cheese dip (none was left in the dish because it wasn't reachable). Decided to share a fried ice cream too; it was good, but very kid oriented. Topped with whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles. I will be going back! read more

Placed an order over the phone. When we got there they had to take our order again so we had to wait again, which isn't too big of a deal, but from the start the hostess made us feel like we were an inconvenience. Got over that as well, but when we finally got our food it was all bad. My sister and I ordered nachos and our friend ordered the tamales dinner. Our nachos were made incorrectly, and the entire top layer of chips were completely soggy, like they had been sitting (we came back to the restaurant before it was finished). Our friend described the tamales as tasting like they were made yesterday, and the rice and beans were soggy somehow. All of the food was cold and we live less than 5 minutes away, right by Horrocks. The horchata we ordered was good though and they offered a refund, hence the 2 stars. read more

Only problem I had here was the language barrier between my waiter and I. It was a little slow but, no problem, I'm pretty patient. Plus they have free nachos and salsa to hold you over in the meantime. They weren't nothing to be crazy about but it was enough to snack on. When our food arrived, I was taken aback by how much we were served for the price, I definitely left full. In my opinion, the food was delicious except for a random spicyness which I despised because I dislike spicy food but other than that, amazing and definitely the place to go for your real mexican food fix. read more

Pro: Food is good, given not many authentic Mexican restaurants are available in the area. Cons: drink is terrible. Magarita tastes like agave flavored sugar water. And I would appreciate if you told me plate is hot. I'm here to enjoy cinco de mayo read more

I can't remember the last time I had Mexican food so good. It reminds me of the time I was a Texas ranger and had access to the finest Mexican food. I would eat tacos everyday. It became part of my training program. The enchiladas, tacos and chalupa are excellent! I tried one of everything on the menu and it left me full! Thank you Cancun Grill!! read more
