Acapulco Tropical Supermarket - Pollo tamales - Mexican Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Parking lot is very crowded, however their baked goods, and fresh cakes make it worth it! I have been here to buy their Flan, it's very fresh, and you can't beat the price. They also have other baked goods such as cookies, bread, donuts etc.. There is another side of the store where they sell groceries, meats, and some food. I have yet to try it since I have only been here to get their Flan, but will be coming back to check out their other products. read more

Delicious and nostalgic. Lots of food. The taqueria inside was I ordered the green chilaquiles which came with rice and beans. Got some tamales from the supermarket and my fiancé (who'd never had Mexican tamales) was amazed. There's also a panadería next door which took me right back to my childhood. Must visit! read more

We were out on the south side of the bridge and decided to checkout this Mexican supermarket with a cafeteria inside for lunch. Here are my ratings only for the cafeteria portion of the supermarket: Quality of food: okay. We ordered different kinds of empanadas and tacos for food. The language barrier here is pretty big. Even after a lot of finger pointing and head-nodding, the type of empanadas we received were not what we ordered. The tacos were lacking flavor and not very well seasoned. Décor: typical. Acapulco is first a supermarket and then a food cafeteria. You have to walk through kind of a maze to find the cafeteria and there isn't much of a signage/décor/vibe to the place. Cleanliness: okay. The tables were mostly clean but that might have been because the guests were trying not to be messy. I didn't notice the tables being actively cleaned by the staff. Service: okay. As mentioned previously, you really need to know Spanish to feel invited or to have your order being placed correctly. There is nobody that speaks English behind the counter. It was very hard to order things and even after a lot of finger-pointing, we didn't receive what we ordered. Price: low. The tacos and empanadas were pretty cheap. I know that there are better places to get your taco and empanadas fix so I would skip Acapulco for something better next time. read more

Wonderful. I feel at home. The hot food section is so good! I had the 3 tacos plates reminds me of California tacos!!! The meat deals are amazing for those on a budget! read more

Acapulco Tropical Supermarket - Flautas de Pollo with rice and beans - Mexican Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Very unusual layout and procedures to get you order. The staff was certainly not very helpful and they were not that excited on helping an obvious outsider the ins & outs of trying to place a "simple" taco lunch order. The tacos were OK but were flour rather than crispy corn shells. My 10 year old daughter took one bite and that was it. Certainly not what we expected, some kindness & helpful explanation would've been much appreciated. Gringo & daughter looking for a warm authentic Mexican restaurant, unfortunately didn't find it here. read more

Great store. Clean great prices and a fantastic $1 taco nights! Authentic Mexican food. Love their meat selections and super prices!

Unusual place which I've been back to multiple times. Good meat & pastry. Predominately spanish spoken but english speakers don't need to understand spanish to shop there. I recommend. read more

I went here yesterday for the tacos, they were serve fast, warm, and over the top! Really cool vibe in this place if you have not been here and the people are very friendly... My second trip the first time I got the burrito with with rice and beans and it was excellent ! read more

Review is only regarding the restaurant: I stopped in during a vacation in the area after seeing all the great Yelp reviews. I really expected to like this place - it resembles a favorite of mine back home (El Burrito Mercado in St Paul's West Side neighborhood), but left here feeling disappointed. My family (including kids) tried a variety of items and meats - tacos, quesadilla, chimichanga, and burrito; chicken, carnitas, barbacoa. But none of us were really wowed by any of it. The barbacoa was mostly gristle. The burrito and chimichanga were genuinely enormous, but the chimi was just sopping with oil inside and out, and covered with a sour cream/queso fresco topping that was way less appetizing than it sounds. The rice and beans were the only thing I truly enjoyed, I think. The best part might have been watching the tortilla machine at work, which was kind of mesmerizing. read more

Watch out for roaches. They walk amongst the food. When I told the manager she said "I'll take care of it" and did NOTHING. Eat at your own risk. Better off buying a piece of meat and make your own tacos or burrito. read more

This is a terrific store! What a great variety of Mexican pastries. You will need to see for yourself. They have a wide selection of fruits and vegetables as well as a selection of spices. Inside the store was a great little eatery with everything from chicharones to pork chile verde. We will be back to explore this place further. It's amazing that this place is just across the highway from the Costco in Bradenton. read more

I have pastor, carne asada, tripa, and lengua. The meat are cut larger chunk compared to many taco place. Good deal and good marinated meat. There have meal deal every day with drink. They also has Mexican soft drink mixed with your choice. Sometimes they have cactus drink. There are some table in the grocery store and you can eat there. The food is order from the counter. read more

The good stuff. And don't miss the Mexican bakery next door (separate entrance, it took Coty 5 years to find it..). Not only does this store have a fabulous selection of beans, but it's an impressive lunch counter with terrific offerings, tortillas made in house, meats, and more. Brace yourself. This is the good stuff. read more

Talk about not in Florida anymore. You didn't even know you went south of the border, but you feel it here. This place is crowded for a reason. It's good, huge, and cheap. I can't believe the fish I ordered was so big and it was two of them and not even one. I think it could have been shared by at least 3 or 4 people. They have different types of Mexican food, but what threw me off was no menu. Just the signs hanging with pics and title of the orders. There were lines of people waiting, but that flew. You could see some of their prepared food, but much of it you couldn't. I enjoyed my experience. The food was very good! The grocery store has many tropical fruit, veggies, a butcher shop as well. I picked up a few things as well. read more

I did not know what real tacos tasted like until I moved to Bradenton and ate here and at the many taco trucks in the area. This is a large Mexican grocery store that has a café in the back that makes some of the best tacos I have ever had. If you don't dare to go to the trucks for tacos, then this is the air conditioned hotspot for you. There are only four tables, so it is best to get takeout. The café has a long row of steel troughs of climate controlled food behind glass for you to press you nose against. First there is a cold food counter that has many salad and ceviche items to choose from with seasonal fruits and seafood. The hot items are things like fried whole fish, potato balls filled with seasoned ground meat, shredded pork, beef in chili sauce, etc. They also have buttered rice and beans. On the other side of the register is a cold counter with desserts such as flan, leche cake, and rice pudding. All of their flour and corn tortillas are fresh and made in house, sold by the pound. You can watch them make them and cook them on a conveyor belt behind the juice counter. They also sell their amazing guacamole and red chili sauce. Another heated counter with slabs of 3-foot-long chicharones (fried pork skin), large slabs of dry rubbed beef ribs, and whole rotisserie chickens (falling apart they are so tender). And, the fresh juice counter (aguas frescas) with four (seasonal) amazing juices to choose from($1.50 for a large), such as watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple, mango, tamarind, strawberry and horchata. Horchata is sweet rice milk spiced with cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg over ice. It is great to drink with spicy foods. They sell a whole rotisserie chicken, with a quart of chili sauce, and a pound of tortillas for $5.99 (enough for a family of four). Last but not least their tacos! All tacos come with a side of lime and red chili sauce. There is a list of about ten different meats to choose from, such as sliced beef, stewed beef in chili sauce, shredded pork, chopped pork, chicken, fried pork skin, and tongue. There are two styles of tacos that you can order Tacos Mexicanos ($1.50 each), your choice of meat on a corn tortilla with minced onion, cilantro, and a side of lime. The other is the American Style ($2.00 each) loaded up with a bunch of aside from your choice of meat like lettuce, slice avocado, sour cream, and crumbed cheese on a flour tortilla. I prefer the Mexican style tacos, since that is the most authentic and you can taste the meat with the herbs and onion together. Their Chicken Tacos Mexicanos are actually quite healthy and are on my diet (4 points each). Top it off with a squeeze of lime and some hot chili sauce, fresh watermelon juice ($1.50), and a tub of guacamole ($3.99). I'm so hungry right now! read more

Thank you TripAdvisor and Yelp for leading us to this tiny gem! Needed a quick en route lunch spot before heading to Siesta Beach and this was highly rated as a feasible lunch spot. Yes was a bit weary at first because of some reviews about cleanliness and it being a market but so glad we went ahead and gave it a go! Got here, part of our family went in. Ordered the huge 2lb meat, tortillas, Spanish rice and the most amazing Pico de Gallo! That sauce made the meal and what do you know? This fed our family of 7 with leftovers! So yum! Great fresh tortillas and nice charred meat. A bit on the tasteless and chewy side but hey that's what the Pico is for! But they gave us so much meat!! And watch out for that salsa! Got a huge kick to it ;) Great prebeach food! Will definitely try again and look out for places like this! read more

So all week I went back and forth from all my different food delivery apps and #Ubereats is providing free delivery for small businesses so I found this place that had tacos for $1.49, quesadillas for $2.99, and a whole rotisserie chicken for only $4.99 so I got 4 tacos, a quesadilla, and a chicken delivered with a tip for about $20! I was proud because every time I order I end up spending over $30 on barely any food! So anyway I thought I probably would have no toppings and a small quesadilla but I was so wrong, my tacos were LOADED with toppings, and my quesadilla was probably the biggest quesadilla I ever ordered in my life! And it was packed full of steak & cheese!! I ate half of the quesadilla & was full but then finally found some wonderful lighting (in my bathroom..) and took some pics! read more

It's a Mexican Mazzaros. The ultimate Latin Super with a great meat counter, fresh fruit and vegetables, prepared food, and an attached Panaderia. read more

What a joke! This place could not make me a combination steak and chorizo taco because it's not in the "system". How about a combination lengua and steak taco??? Nope, you guessed it...not in the system either! So let's get this straight, they do sell tacos. Their menu options do include steak, chorizo and lengua. But put a first-world computer between these people and their kitchen, then just stare in amazement as they become as useless as an inflatable dartboard. read more

We only had the tacos, but they were truly great. It's like a small deli counter in the rear of a Mexican supermarket that serves out some authentic Mexican food. Yup. The neighborhood is not that great. Yup. We were the only ones not Mexican during a busy lunch hour. If you can get over that, you're in for a treat. Not only was the meats in the taco, fresh, flavorful and nicely presented. They hand make the tortillas and we watched the show as we waited for our tacos. The beef and chicken were both excellent and they double up on the tortilla. We had six tacos and bought a container of fresh pico de gallo for 2.00. A whopping 10 bucks and lots of food. Will definitely be back to try some of the other items. read more

This place is terrific! We come here often for some great Mexican food. Their portions are humongous and the prices are dirt cheap. Grab a container of Guacamole to take home also! There is nothing I have had here that I don't like. read more

I love the sopes here! It is our order each and every time we stop by here. The ingredients are fresh and it's a local place for to-go orders and eat in meals. This place is not fancy. In fact, it's basically a lunch counter located in the back section of a small Latin grocery store. Yelp reviews brought me here and the food keeps us coming back. I love the variety of choices on the menu. I also like that I can grab some cojita cheese and jarritos grapefruit soda while I'm here. Convenient! Stop in, the food is tasty and authentic. read more

Being a native of San Diego I have had some of the most authentic Mexican food that you can get in the states. This place was extremely close to it. I ordered the fajita plate (came with beef, chicken and shrimp) for $10 and change including the tax. I was able to make about 7 tacos from it. read more

I came here hoping to find my favorite Mexican candy. I didn't end up finding my beloved enchilokas but I walked out with a crap ton of food. The enchilada plate was humongous. I'm going to be having enchiladas for days. The flan was amazing. It wasn't super rich so it doesn't taste like cheesecake which is how some people make their flan. I also got a container of guacamole and salsa but I wasn't too crazy about the guacamole. It had a little bit of a sour taste and it wasn't the good kind of sour. I didn't end up walking out with any candy but they had quite a selection. I can't wait to come back! read more

Third time and this place remains consistent! I had a steak Chimichanga this time and when I opened the container I had the "stank-face" because it looked like some sort of white cream sauce on top. But to my surprise when I tasted it it was deliciousness (like a cheese sauce). I love this place! This will be my go to Mexican Restaurant unless I find something better. read more

I had an incredible lunch yesterday at a little Latin market in Bradenton, Supermarket Acapulco Tropical. I have stopped in for random odd and ends in the past, but never tried their hot food line. They had quite a few different offerings, but we were in the mood for tacos and they did not disappoint. We got there at 11:40 and within 10 minutes of being there, they had a line 10 people deep. They only offer a few tables, so it can and did end up standing room only. I tried the barbacoa, chorizo, pastor, and carnitas tacos. We assumed they were smaller tacos, but we were wrong. We should have went with 3, but they were so tasty we could not leave the 4th taco behind. They offered their tacos Mexican or American style. Mexican style was with onion and cilantro only while American was with lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, and cheese. We chose American style for our tacos and they were very reasonably priced, $10 for 4 tacos and and drink. Overall we really enjoyed our lunch. The food was outstanding, but don't expect a fancy place or even a spot to sit down if they are busy. Awesome little hidden gem if you are in the mood for tacos! read more

Wow! What delicious and affordable food. Visited Acapulco for an afternoon lunch and was not disappointed. The tacos were delicious. They offer a salad bar with fresh topping for eat in that was great! I ordered a side of rice that was tasty but swimming in oil. Overall, a great experience with amazing food and fantastic service! read more

This is a hidden gem for delivery! Ordered their 1/2 chickens which were juicy and rice & black beans - out of this world! And their burrito was incredible. Everything arrived hot and quickly. Definitely ordering there again. read more

Absolutely delicious. Had the chicharrones con salsa verde (pork skin and salsa verde) and it was fantastic. Compared to the usual fried pork skins, this is soft and rich. I had a side of ensalada de nopales- cactus salad- and I am in love. Tons of cilantro and has a distinct, addictive flavor. I'd suggest getting food to go- this place was PACKED, but there are tons of authentic, tasty, inexpensive options that range from tacos al pastor to tamales made of ear. Hell just go buy their $2 containers of fresh-made salsa verde and you could probably put it on a cardboard box and it would be amazing. read more
