    Our favorite local Mexican restaurant! Always great food and super fast service. We will continue to go back.

    Lunch Chimichanga de Camaron, pricey but delicious, and filled with surprisingly large shrimp.
    Dustin M. R.

    Meeting East Coast friends for lunch, we picked Irwin, PA as the half-way point between Toledo and Philadelphia, and Acapulco Mexican Restaurant & Bar as Yelp's highest rated Mexican restaurant in the area. Arriving a few minutes before their Sunday opening time, we were pleasantly surprised when the employee cleaning the glass on the front door smiled and waved at us to come inside. Décor in the restaurant was bright and festive, and we were quickly shown to a table across the very clean dining room. Perusing the expansive menu, our party of three ordered the Lunch #13, Lunch Fajita Burrito, and Lunch Chimichanga de Camaron with two waters and an iced tea. Before tax and tip, our bill came out to $44.50, which definitely felt pricy for lunch. However the kitchen was clearly raring to go, because our orders were soon delivered piping hot to our table! My wife and son both said their meals were very good, with my son adding that the fajita vegetables in his burrito were grilled to perfection. Likewise I found my Chimichanga de Camaron to be very good, and I was pleasantly surprised at how large and juicy the shrimp were. Pros: great atmosphere, large menu, attentive wait staff, very good flavours Cons: pricy for lunch portions, no free refills on the tortilla chips (which is always a bummer for our teens) Overall we rate Acapulco Mexican Restaurant & Bar as being Very Good, and would definitely return the next time we are in the area.

    My husband and I have been to Acapulco many times. The food and service have always been very good. My husband decided he wanted to have dinner there for his birthday. The food was good and our server was excellent. When the server brought our check, our total was $64. We gave our server a $50 gift card (purchased 5 weeks ago) and $30 in cash. Shortly thereafter, the manager came to our table and told us they had changed system and he couldn't get their new system to accept our gift card. He said the system "should be"repaired in the future, but he didn't know when and we "should be" able to use our gift card then. Should be, really? That statement didn't make us feel confident that we would ever be able to use the gift card. He insisted we would have to provide a different form of payment and use the gift card another time. We told him the system problem was his issue to handle, not ours and he would have to figure it out. He kept insisting we would have to pay another way but we stood our ground. He was extremely unhappy but our check was paid in full since he had our $50 gift card along with $30 cash to cover the rest of the check and a tip for our server. How he entered the transaction in his system was his issue to deal with, not ours. If he had been reasonable and courteous, we would have likely paid with a credit card but..... **Please note the 3 star review was based on our overall experience. It would have been higher based strictly on the food and service**

    I ordered the Burrito loco and that comes with cheese sauce on top and also comes with sour cream I did not get either of those the my burrito the beef was nasty also when I tried to order the street corn that is on there menu the man did not know what I was talking about and then said that they did not have it I will never order from here again

    Everytime I come here the food is great! The servers and hosts are always so friendly. The food is a great price and you get big portions. They have happy hour 530-730 which is great!

    Chili relleno enchilada and rice
    Valerie V.

    Service- fast Food-rice was a bit dry - enchilada was basically meat inside a shell with sauce drizzled The chili relleno is not served how I'm used to having them-here they have very little cheese. The soft taco was definitely my favorite part of dinner. If I go back I'll order something different.

    Taco Tuesday with a few margaritas mixed in.

    I'm passing through. When I came through last week, I ate at Don Patron's a few miles away. I…read moreenjoyed that, but it didn't prompt me to write a review. Madero Cantina Norwin also had mostly decent reviews, so I gave it a try. I sat at the very nice bar. The atmosphere is modern, not trying to look like Tijuana, with clear background music that isn't so loud that I couldn't hear people across the bar talking. What I'm going to say might sound contradictory. My earlier meal was closer to the Mexican food I was used to in Southern California. But not exceptional. As a vegetarian, I usually start with cheese enchiladas as a way to judge a Mexican restaurant. The service was excellent, and they are definitely vegetarian friendly. Unlike "genuine" Mexican food, their refried beans are vegetarian, without the traditional lard. Their Spanish rice isn't vegetarian friendly (chicken stock used) but they have a vegetarian alternative rice. When they cook for a vegetarian, they use a different grill, so your food isn't cooked in meat grease. I know this because Jake, who served me, covered it all as soon as I mentioned that I was vegetarian. When the food arrived it looked great, and it tasted great as well. If you're looking for genuine Mexican with lard in the beans, this might not be the best local option. But I really enjoyed my meal here, and recommend it highly!

Our party of 5 each had drinks- cranberry margarita was super tasty as was the Mexican mule - which I tried. We started with 2 order of the El Trio with chips - guacamole, salsa & queso For dinner - 2 of our party had very large Burritos & myself & the rest of our group had various tacos, Traditional fish tacos, Mahi Mahi & chicken. (You get 3 large well stuffed tacos) Their corn tortillas are house made. I would definitely come back. Good food - good service & fair price.

As expected (because I have had some of their products at the market) everything was delicious and made fresh to order. The one down side is that tacos are fairly small for the $6 price tag. But you are getting fresh, quality ingredients made to order. Service was wonderful. I was greeted with a warm hello as soon as I walked in the door and they asked if I had ever been there before. I mentioned the Farmer's Market but not the physical store. They told me about some of their customer favorites and I got the shrimp taco. They also had me sample some queso mac and cheese because they had just made a batch for another customer. It was delicious! Overall, I enjoyed my experience and my food and I'm glad that I can get their food year round and don't need to wait for the spring for the Farmer's Market.

    This is a great place for coffee, specialty drinks, breakfast or lunch…read more I have been here numerous times and always had a good (and tasty) experience. When you walk in, it has a warm, inviting vibe. There are a variety of tables and seating options (including some couch and comfy chair type seating). You order by going up to the counter, and they either call your order or will bring it to your table when it is done if you are eating it there. One down side is that there is a fairly large menu and it isn't always easy to find/see all of the options when you are waiting to order. My daughter saw someone got a bubble tea but at the time we were looking, that menu wasn't easy to spot so we didn't even know it was something they offered! All of their food items are made to order (well, I suppose except for the soup which is home made and just dished out to order). They even have soup flights on certain days! I need to go back and try that because every soup I've ever had here has been delicious. They have the standard coffee menu but also always have some unique and quirky seasonal options. They also have smoothies, bubble teas and some other unique creations. They have tasty breakfast and lunch sandwiches, breakfast scrambles, mac and cheese and a variety of sandwiches. You can easily customize your meals and the staff is great about providing recommendations. It can take awhile to get your food/drinks, but that is because everything is made to order. A fun and tasty place for a bite to eat or a sweet treat!
