Stopped in for Sunday dinner. I was surprised how quiet it was for 6:00 but I also felt like my table was off to a quiet side, thanks. Jackson was My friendly and helpful server as we discussed the menu. I appreciated his honesty when I asked about the Taco Salad... "wasn't my favorite". So we discussed what were some of his go-to's. After looking at his and browsing the menu I asked what he thought of the Acapulco Bowl and the Chilaquilles(sp?). He said the Acapulco Bowl was pretty popular, so I opted for hat with chicken and the pico on the side. When Jackson circled back I told him "this isn't good...it is sooooo good!! Perfect for the upcoming summer season when you maybe don't want a hot burrito, more of a cool refreshing salad! After a few bites I dumped the salsa all over the salad as well. I am looking forward to having the rest for lunch today! After decades of a burrito I have a new go-to. Thank you Jackson for the wonderful service and friendly banter and Acapulco for a delicious and refreshing meal. read more

Hey. We like going to Acapulco. They have great food. It is a bit pricey. The famous cheese sauce is $9 and we had two because it's in a tiny bowl. Service was great. It's a newer sports Mexican bar. read more

I ordered my chicken chimichangas to go and the portion is definitely worth it. My order also came with chips and salsa. Very tasteful and filling. This is always my go to when I come here. read more

Acapulco Mexican Restaurant Ramsey - Chimichangas - Mexican Near Me - Ramsey, Minnesota

They don't know how to serve customers or organize themselves. They attended to the people they preferred first, while we waited for quite a long time--about an hour. We pointed out that we had arrived before the others, but they didn't care. read more

Food is what you would expect at a Mexican restaurant, nothing incredible but the service is always great. If you go you have to try the Al Pastor street tacos - traditional style read more

We visited Acapulco in Ramsey this week. I have been craving their seafood chimichanga for a while, it used to be delicious. Well, not anymore, no shrimp, just fishy fish. It was horrible. I brought half home and it went in the garbage. The service was great. The restaurant was clean and nice but chilly. If you visit, I don't recommend the seafood chimichanga. read more

I wasn't expecting anything special with this chain restaurant. We had a coupon so we decided to go. From the moment we walked in the door we were impressed. The hostess, waitress and food runners were friendly and professional. We were seated and they brought us chips and salsa as well as taking our drink orders. I ordered an Acapulco bowl. My husband had cheese enchiladas and a choice of sides. He chose black beans and a side salad. We really liked the food. My one complaint is having the refried beans on the top of the bowl because they are much less attractive than what was underneath. Our coupon was sitting on the table and our waitress took the money off immediately. We really had great service, we liked the food and it's a really nice looking space. There is a private room and several areas of seating- high tops, small and larger tables. We will definitely return. read more

We ordered a cheese enchilada, beef enchilada and Beef burrito. It all had the same taste, terrible. The dark brown sauce was very unappealing and tasted awful. Service was terrible. We had to track down our server several times. read more

My first visit to this restaurant was great. Famous cheese was delicious and flavorful. Margaritas was the best. I went a second time within the same week and expecting the same delicious food but it was the worse. I had dried food on the outside of my glass. And the famous dip was cold and had a scale on top like it been sitting for hours. My margarita tasted like dish soap was added, We left before it got any worse. We were planning on being regular customers but I can't recommend this restaurant. read more

Kudos to our server Jeremy, he was awesome!! Such a fun and prompt server. And mojitos here are a MUST! So many good flavors! We tried pomegranate and strawberry. Strawberry was our favorite. The queso is also a MUST!!! some of the best I've bad! Lastly, these enchiladas are bomb! Enchiladas are my favorite food, so the bar is set high! Please check this place out it does not disappoint!!! read more

It should be noted that at 8:30 on a Friday night they will start closing the restaurant all around you, making sure you know you aren't welcome. Servers coming up and asking for the complete bill, tables being taken down and chairs being put up. They'll keep coming to you asking to take things away. Got it, we're leaving. We would have stayed because we had the cover of a babysitter. I'd like to ask them if the chicken or egg came first. Maybe the fact you're shutting the restaurant down at 8:30 on a Friday is the reason you can't justify staying open. I probably would go to Chanticlear in the same area, who lets you stay and enjoy the company of friends. This is a place that 100% values saving costs over the community. Also, ordered a Patron on the rocks. Why do your servers make that seem so weird at a Mexican restaurant? I had to explain my drink order and clarify it many times. The food was genuinely tasty and good. Wonderful queso, good chips, good entrees. It was great, but don't go here if you're trying to have a night away from the kids. Their operations make people feel unwanted. read more

Great food and spectacular service received at this restaurant. Would definitely return. read more

I live nearby and eat here all the time. The tacos are so good and affordable, and the service is always top notch!

Hubby and I came in on a Mon. about 3:15pm or so. Personable server (older guy, we thot might be manager) quickly greeted and seated us with Chips & salsa and queso We looked at lunch menu then saw it ended 3pm. No worries to us. Server came to take order (we ordered from dinner menu). He asked if we wanted from lunch menu, .".can we?." "absolutely"... Great attitude! We've been several times and never disappointed. Love the huge margueritas, always fantastic food, and service. Kind of weird to hear Prince music, but created cool vibe. Great Family Friendly Place. I love the clean openness of this Acapulco. read more

Food is AMAZING I really suggest the chimichanga with extra queso it is the most MAGICAL dish I've had. Okay maybe that's a little dramatic but it still is good even the plain simple and cheap tacos I suggest the chicken but beef is pretty good as well. And next the service, the service is pretty good and someone will be there within 5 minutes or less and you get your food within 15 minutes. The final subject is Ambiance. It really enhances the culture and style it is a quick place to go sit down and eat. Enjoy! read more

This place is horrible.the portions are small very small the food tastes like the old Mexican tv dinners.definitely heat and eat.more than half the plate is made up of beans.tried shredded beef enchilada and beef tamale.they were about four inches long the ground beef was definitely factory made.there can't be anyone actually cooking this food.and the dining room feels like a cheap hotel swimming pool room.the whole experience felt like a joke.still not sure what I paid for.it wasn't the Mexican experience.at least Taco Bell has a drive thru and a larger menu.do yourself a favor stay away and let this place die and close the doors. read more

The food is really gone downhill since they started expanding and move to the new building beautiful building but the food is gone downhill I don't even like going to eat there anymore it's dry read more

I'm glad that Acapulco can still operate during COVID, however, my delivery order was a huge disappointment. I ordered 3 tacos and by the time they arrived, everything was not only cold but a total mess. My taco shells turned into mush, which turned into me eating my tacos with a fork. It was a huge letdown, and I definitely felt like I threw my money away. Delivery/to-go is not being executed very well at this establishment. read more

I ordered from DoorDash and I have to tell you this restaurant goes above and beyond! They seal your food which I haven't seen any restaurant do since this began. Some put stickers but this restaurant seals a plastic bag and it really gives me peace of mind. So much food with leftovers for 2 more meals and everything was perfect including special requests read more

we come here every year. idk why. i think i heard the chicken say " cawwwwww". there was a human hair on the table. the waitress bumped into me twice. it was pleasant. the restrooms were very clean the chicken was cook excellently. would not recommen. we will be back next year. read more

Average Mexican food with disinterested staff and what seems like good Management. To be clear, there's nothing really bad about the food. It's not awesome or terrible. It's about what I expected. Our server when I was here in March seemed completely uninterested in service. She acted bored, barely smiled, and forgot several things like drink refills and side of queso for an entree (which we never got). Upon paying at the end of the meal, a Manager asked how things were. We were honest, food was fine, service, not so much. The Manager comped the whole meal for us. It was unnecessary, especially because we didn't ask for that, but was appreciated. read more

Great choice for lunch! Two hard shell tacos with only cheese and beans - no rice. Unlimited nachos with salsa were tasty. read more

I understand being short staff as I used to work at Dennys in San Antonio before moving back up here recently. More than half they time I was working I was alone. Sitting people taking orders. Cleaning up after them and checking them out. Before moving my family and I used to always go to Acapulco and my fiancé has never been. It was great food but terrible service on the 16th. I only saw one man so he was moving pretty fast. He'd walk away before we could get a sentence out. Like I said I understand being short staff so props to him for working. However I think everyone would have liked a little more time so they could ask questions... read more

The food here truly sucks. My wife warned me not to come here again, but I did anyway because I was hungry and close, at Coborn's. She calls them "Caca-Pulco"! Pretty funny. I should have listened to my wife. BTW, she's a Latina and knows her Latin food. In hind sight, I don't understand why people spend good money here and actually come back again. I had lunch with my daughter today. The chips & dip were okay. Although the watery queso dip was really lame. My daughter thought her steak tacos were okay. But she's a 14 year old. I ordered a shredded beef burrito and they brought me a horrible chicken burrito that you could hardly see under all the shredded iceberg lettuce. And it was swimming in water. Something wasn't drained well enough. Gross! They brought me a correct beef burrito. Again, really bad. The burrito was super small and I could hardly find the beef--cheap, cheap, cheap! They even screwed up my coffee! I asked our server if they had fresh coffee and he told me he'd make a fresh pot. Great, at least some decent coffee! When it came, it was the most horrible battery acid I'd ever tasted! When I told him it was bad, he informed me that it came "fresh" out of a "machine". The only thing that keeps this place from being zero (0) stars is the super nice staff. I feel sorry for them. Stay away from this place unless you live close and you're just going to the bar to get drunk. -Daddy Maxx Retro read more

Glad they are up and running but, maybe a few improvements could be made. The status of my order said it was ready and waiting for delivery for over 40 mins. Had I known this was potentially what might happen, I would have picked it up myself. Maybe knowing this is a possibility they may want to consider using some parchment paper and separating wet and dry ingredients for delivery. My burrito was good. The steak was tender and flavorful. The cheese dip was good. Hope to try again with better results next time. read more

Acapulco brings the flavor! This is my new favorite spot to grab a quick dinner. I wish we lived closer. I highly recommend the 5 layer dip for an appetizer, or maybe even as your meal if you fill up quick. I'm getting excited just thinking about it! It's usually pretty busy here, which means service can take awhile, but the food is worth the wait. It also has high ceilings, which means it's on the louder side, but that's great for people with kids who are worried about disrupting other patrons! Prices are very fair, and portions are epic. A meal here usually turns into 2 days of leftovers. I highly recommend coming here for your next night out! read more

Sadly this Mexican food restaurant has gone down hill. My order was severely incorrect and I will not be returning. In addition, my taco's were extremely soggy and had an unpalatable sauce on it. Not as good as it once was. read more

This is not authentic Mexican food! Being from LA, I know Mexican food! Order: enchiladas, carne Sade burrito. The waiter was awesome! The food, made me say... Is this a Mexican restaurant? This is not the Acapulco's I know. This is a water down middle American take on "food"... Not Mexican food. I repeat. This is not Mexican food. I will not come back. read more

So I got an invite to be a VIP for Twin Cities Live TV program and we had a buffet luncheon with the cast and crew. first off, the food was very good, not necessarily the greatest Mexican food ever but in the top 20%. Enchiladas and Tacos were delicious but the hot sauce and other condiments were lacking....I love hotsauce One of the best things ever here was the $4 Nordeasts and $3.50 dos X amber or lager... good times... their beergaritas were delicious and full of booze...margarita, dos X and a little rum Overall a good time, I would recommend this place although during a TCL Live broadcast, I don't know if otherwise if it was any other day... read more

Great Mexican food and best in the area. Love the Carne Asada and gotta have the pomegranate margarita! The menu changes seasonally and always has some family favorites. The waitstaff is friendly and fast. The chips and salsa usually hit the table before we sit down. Their homemade guacamole is fabulous and it seems everyone loves their famous cheese sauce. You won't be disappointed. read more

The staff here is incredible and attentive. The margaritas are absolutely delicious. However, I've tried this place 6 times now and the food is absolutely terrible for the most part. We like the cheese dip and the chimichangas but everything else is not seasoned and just strange. The kids Mac and cheese is a joke. The wet burrito definitely is dry and not seasoned. The enchilada sauce is something I've never seen before. Just awful. read more

Compared to the Coon Rapids location, this place is the Taj Mahal. The place is always clean, service has been decent, never had a problem with my order or the quality of the entree. It's about what you would expect from any Mexican restaurant. Most of the side items are prepared earlier in the day so the food comes out really fast, not necessarily fresh. Cheap beers. Cheap Food. No major complaints. read more

Saturday evening 5:30 seating. 4 adults and 1 child. We all agreed that the food, drinks, service, pace of the meal, and atmosphere were great! We will return here when we can. read more

this place is very good when you go in to sit down but the last two times i went and got takeout my order was wrong both times. and this was before the lockdown. i was very disappointed both times. read more

When we get this we usually get the nachos compuestas to share. They're okay, something different than fast food close by. Twice we have gotten something different and been so disappointed! Last time we both got the choose 2. I got a beef enchilada, totally boring, and a chile relleno which had an odd taste, was dripping some kind of clear liquid, and you could see the slices of white queso so it had never melted. Got usual rice and refried on the side that was uninspiring. BF got 2 tiny beef soft shell tacos and they forgot the pico de gallo and salsa verde. They were tasteless, but he liked the rice and the side salad was very nice. Got the bag of chips and 1/4 cup of salsa with it which was just enough for him to have some sauce on his dry tacos. Can't say we'll never try it again, there's not much out here, but it won't be anytime soon. read more

Definitely get the cheese dip! Free Endless Chips are served warm with a tasty salsa. I had creamed burritos (one pulled chicken, one ground beef) with a side of rice/beans. They were very delicious! Quality meat and veggies. My husband had the steak fajita burrito, also very good. Again, quality steak and the portions are way more than enough! Our son had grilled chicken tacos. Again, quality, white meat chicken, nice presentation of the plate, and full of flavor. We enjoyed the Sangria Margarita and a regular Frozen Margarita. Definitely recommend you order one of them too. Staff was very friendly, prompt service, clean restaurant, & spotless restrooms!! Literally not a single negative thing to say about this place. Enjoy! read more

I am from Ohio and came to Minneapolis for my sister in law's birthday/retirement party on Saturday June 8th. We were in the private room with a taco bar. The food was excellent. The Margaritas were delicious. BUT ... Our waiter, Jeremy, was absolutely totally awesomely amazing!!! He was so caring and took very good care of our group. I will definitely come back next time I come north. Thanks. read more

We have been going here for years and the food and service and declined drastically! Tonight we went for dinner and the service was horrible! We waited 40 minutes for food and our server was rude and could have cared less. No dishes were ever cleared and 15 minutes for a drink. Food was mediocre at best and we were missing items but never checked on until after we finished eating. He Attempted to separate check and charged us double for our meal and had to be fixed...another wait! We will never be back. read more

I start off by saying that I have been going to Acapulco for as long as they have been open in both Coon Rapids and Ramsey. Went there for dinner tonight and order a Chicken/Rice and vegetable dish. Not typically what I would order. The Vegetables were rotten to the point that I had to remove them from my plate because they smelt so bad. (I foolishly tasted them also). I handed the plate that I put the vegetables on to the server and said they are rotten, Smell them, and the response was Not would you re-like me to remake the whole dish, but can I get you some rice (I already have rice thanks). When I got the bill is was surprised that they did not discount my meal at least $1 for the rotten vegetables. I decided to talked to the manager and his words were "I did not know what table it came from" , It seems like that is his job. I'm Shock after this many years of gong here that they were unwilling to solve this until I made an issues of it. It will be a long time before I go bake here. read more
