I honestly can't think of one bad thing to say about this place. I have been three times now and every time I get great service, the food comes out fast, tasty margaritas, and a smile on my face when I leave. The bottomless house made chips and salsa are a plus and I have even been serenaded by their mariachi band. It's a fun place to have dinner for sure! read more

Great food......great, lively folks at the bar in the evening. :). Friendly staff, drinks are generous....once you get to know the bartender. . Overall, a terrific place. read more

Soooo this just happened! Picture a woodstock party for your tastebuds!!!! Absolutely amazing food! Very real down to earth staff. (Not to mention some of the waiters should be part of the dessert menu). Very very clean establishment with a cute little bar as well. Very much family place to bring everyone. Everything one the menu looks sooo good! And there is a lot of it. You leave here stuffed like a real life pinata. But you can always come back to try everything else. Ive been here a couple of times and the food is always made perfectly. Ive never tried anything that wasnt tasty. Good times here! read more

Acapulco's used to be a favorite of ours. We would be there almost weekly for a pitcher of ultimate margaritas and a late lunch or dinner for almost 10 years. As many of the other reviews have stated, the food is generally ok, but can be hit or miss. The wait staff is generally very friendly and exceptional. On several occasions we were left waiting unreasonably long times while many others around us were served. When we complained to management, they were unwilling to do anything to make the situation better. In the 8+ years that we were regulars there, we got 1 thing comped for us, ever. It was a queso dip appetizer. Now we frequent Papagayo's in Boston. The margaritas are much better and the food is phenomenally better! Not only is the quality of food and drinks better, but they recognize us as frequent customers and they throw an occasional perk our way... replace a drink that isn't very good, bring us a custom made hot sauce, etc. It might take a little longer to get there, but there are Mexican restaurants in the area with much better food, margaritas, and they know how to treat their customers. See ya Acapulco's. We won't be back! read more

The food was better the first time I was there, This time it was average. The staff were very nice. I probably will not go back again read more

I never eat over here but whenever i go there the restaurant is pretty full. but the take out its amazing. I am a big fan of their fajita grill chicken. yummy. read more

Best Mexican in the entire area! Their food is always great, good service, lots to choose from. We go by all the time. Never been to any other location. Portions are always large and you get free chips and salsa. The ambiance is cute too. read more

Food was okay, was expecting it to be better. A lil disappointed. Probably wont be going back

My first time here and I had a great experience. The place is well decorated and the music was fun. Also has plenty of parking. The service was friendly and quick for the most part. It took a long time to get the check. The food was absolutely delicious and came in large portions. My boyfriend and I got the chicken, steak, and shrimp fajitas to share. It was so large we each had leftovers for 2 more meals. The meat and shrimp were seasoned and the troppings (tomatoes, guacamole, salsa) were fresh. Will definitely be returning! read more

Acapulcos - Mexican Near Me - Norwood, Massachusetts

See all

When this place first opened it was so good! However it has lost its goodness. The food is just ok. The drinks are nice and strong . Servers are often running around like crazy when it gets busy. read more

I go there allot and I love it every time the hosts are attentive the wait staff is polite and friendly they make you feel like they're your friends I particularly like Ivan we get him allot and he's the best. I would def recommend going here read more

Not a bad experience. I went to Acapulcos last night for the first time with a group of friends. The staff was extremely friendly and courteous. They gave us multiple refills of the chips and salsa and were constantly bringing us refills for our water as well. I ordered the steak fajitas, the steak was perfect! It was sliced in thin strips that are perfect for fajitas and I was given plenty of tortillas which isn't always the case at other restaurants. One downfall is the space at the tables, the tables are extremely crammed if you have a group of any type. You'll constantly find yourself juggling multiple plates and dishes in order to make room. read more

Well, we had a great time and ate good food, drank awesome margaritas and all; but my tummy disagreed with the place so that's why they lost 2 stars - I guess the food was not that fresh. Hope they better that. read more

I had heard mix reviews about this spot so I gave it a try. It sits on busy Route 1 in Norwood which is the Auto Mile and has many places to eat chain like. This place sits in a shopping center and is low key. The spot gets really packed with locals and is a good place to bring a family. It is large enough to accomodate a large group and the staff is friendly enough to help you out. They are cordial and quick on their feet. The menu is the typical chain restaurant Mexican food and unlike the last review is not the most amazing food I have tasted, more like average, middle of the road food. The drinks are the same, middle of the road margaritas and the such. I would say it is a hit or miss with this spot. If you are looking for a casual average spot, I recommend it, otherwise, its worth a skip. read more

Came here on the recommendation of a Boch Honda salesman (stay tuned for the Boch review coming shortly)....and given that, I'm surprised this place was as good as it was. Very clean with a good selection of average tasting food. Chips weren't salty enough, salsa wasn't chunky enough, but portions were generous and given the options in the area, I'd recommend Acapulcos. read more

Pleasantly surprised! I have been to other locations and was just not as thrilled but this one is a winner! Service was friendly, fast, accurate and all around pleasing. They did not rush our dinner and allowed us time to chat. The Blackberry Margarita hit the spot and was not too strong but did the job just right. I loved my quesadilla (I was able to treat myself to something I normally wouldn't order, but allowed a treat and so happy I did!). My friends were pleased with their food as well and I brought home some takeout for my boyfriend and he devoured it as was also pleased as well. I think I would prefer to go to this location if I am craving some Mexican inspired food in the future. Happy that this location did not dissapoint! read more

They have some really authentic dishes and the portions always leave the adverage person going home with leftovers! Service always good and we love the neverending chips and salsa! The staff is always nice and helpful - some have even helped decide on certain dishes when your torn between! We love going there! read more

Food was decent, standard chain-restaurant Mexican food. Service was good, probably because the place was mostly empty, because we went early. The Enchiladas del Mar were a bit salty, but decent. Overall, a good experience, just nothing special. read more

Pretty good food, service is great especially for a quick lunch

We went here a few months back and have been several times since! Great service, food comes out quick and while you wait you get endless fresh cooked chips and salsa. Portion sizes are huge for the meals! You wont go away disappointed! read more

First and foremost, the service is amazing! Went there for a birthday party and our waiter was absolutely friendly and worked hard. He got everything asked from him and went above and beyond! I think his name was Jose. Good Job Buddy! However, the food was lacking flavor. They quesadilla was dry and the salsa was marinara I think. I know a few people that love this place and probably ordered other things but my experience with the quesadilla wasn't a WOW experience. read more

Horrible customer service when calling to go. Not sure how the owner runs a business with that attitude.

We eat here often as it's close to home and more often than not the casual atmosphere and quick service appeals to our 'let's get a quick bite' mood. The never ending starter of warm chips and salsa takes an immediate edge off our hunger and allows us to settle in for a couple of delicious frozen margaritas. The food is your standard Mexican chain-store faire but plentiful and good tasting. I have never had a bad meal! I usually get one of the Chimichangas and my wife gets the Fajitas. The service has always been quick and attentive without being obtrusive. We have never been hustled or made to feel that we had to 'clear' the table for the next customer. This is just a nice inexpensive 'eating out' experience... read more

Acapulcos was busy when we went, so I was expecting good food. It wasn't tasty, as I expected it to be. It was very bland. I had the spinach enchiladas. The serving sizes are good though. They don't give you an enormous amount of food. The atmosphere was fun also, with good music. The prices are also very reasonable and i was happy to see the amount ot vegetarian options. On the downside, our waiter kept sitting down with the table next to us. We saw another employee doing the same. We thought that was weird. The service is very rushed also. There are good and bad aspects of this place, but I won't be coming back. I would rather go to Chipotle. read more

Great Mexican food for lunch. Courteous staff and good service and great chips and salsa. We frequently go there and recommend.

Just mediocre Mexican food. Service was good and friendly, prices were decent, but the did was OK.

Nice decor and the service was good but the food was lousy. My chicken in my burrioto was cold and had two chicken bones in it. They smuther it with cheese to try and give it flavor. The margaritas were okay had better. Not a lot of good Mexican food restaurants in the area which is probably why this place always has someone in it. I would pass on this place. read more

Overpriced, bar tenders will tell you they don't get paid to get more tips, no one speaks English AT ALL. The food is mediocre mostly with a few good items such as the chili con queso. read more

I have been to Mexico and traveled around the Yucatan, and honestly, this food is better than 80 % of the food you get in Mexico. Service is great, the waiters treat you like family and the food is always consistent. My girlfriend is from Texas and she even likes it and says its as good as it gets. I wouldnt mind some more contemporary tex-mex additions to the menu, and I wouldnt mind chocolate unicorns shooting ice cream into my mouth either. Either one would do really. read more

My go to for good food, drinks and service. They generally can seat you right away. The service is always patient and friendly. You can never go wrong with the fresh table side guacamole and the fajita quesadillas. read more

To start, the service was AWESOME. No doubts there. I would give the service a 5. But the food is what brought the rating down. It seemed mediocre and could definitely use more seasoning. Salt would be good. The meal certainly cured the craving for Mexican food, though. Salsa isn't bad and there's a good variety of dishes. read more

Amazing amazing amazing! Service is great, staff is really friendly, portions are large, the food is delicious, drinks are pleasantly strong, and there's LIVE music that brought back beautiful memories of my grandfather listening to his favorite tunes. Thanks for a fantastic night. read more

Definitely my favorite place to come for fresh guac! I love that they make it table side and it's a big portion for the price. Their salsa is also really good, it has chunks of onion and tomato. I'm a picky eater so I usually don't stray from my usual choices but everything I've had has been yummy. I like that pico de gallo comes with almost every dish. We are regulars so there are a few servers who know us which is nice because they're so welcoming. Regardless, the service is always great. Everyone is very quick and attentive. read more

Run run away from this restaurant bad food bad service super rude manager and it's not authentic food everything comes out cold everything is premade go to Rancho Chico in Plainville read more

I know this is not "real" mexican food but I have to say I still love it! The chips are thick and crispy and I love their salsa. I usually get the chicken mole. It's delicious!! Service is quick and friendly. read more

This is the only place I go to in Mass for Mexican because no one else know what they're doing. I used to think this place was a 5 star but lately their food has fallen off dramatically. I consider myself a near expert on food with a major in Mexican and Acupalco's used to be the best Mexican in Mass. It is now unseasoned and bland. I have asked the waiters if they have a new chef and they all say "no". I used to go here 3 times a week - which is shameful but it was that good. I typically order the same thing "Enchiladas Jalisco" but I have switched around looking for something good and I am lost. The best thing they have is their pop - super carbonated but it has failed. I see the trend they're falling off quickly and I do not go there as much (maybe 1 time every two weeks now). Breaks my heart. The service is still fast and awesome - but I would trade sucky service for great food any day but their service is great but food now is below par. read more

The veggies were definitely fresh. The salsa and burrito sauce was unique and definitely not bland like so many other Mexican restaurants seem to have. The staff were INCREDIBLY nice and accommodating with my difficult vegan and vegetarian party members and the food portion to $ ratio definitely was a bang for your buck. read more

DO NOT order fajitas for take out. Not because they taste bad but because they are incomplete. Twice now at 2 of their locations (sudbury and norwood) they forgot to include the tortilla wraps! That is the whole essence of fajitas. Sudbury promised by phone to give me a free entree, when I called to complain, by giving my name next visit. When I went there the manager that came over had no idea what I was talking about and gave me only 25% off since I complained. Otherwise, their food is good. Basic, american mexican food. But just make sure to order meals that they have to put together for you for take out. Such as there is a 3 tortilla meal that is fajitas but they build it for you and it costs a dollar or so less than the fajita meal. Only order fajitas if eating IN the restaurant. Also I suggest ordering BLACK BEANS if your item comes with rice and beans. They thankfully have the option, for free, to switch to black beans which are healthier and look and taste better than the refried beans which look like slop on the plate. read more

This is a nice restaurant. I have been here couple of time, and I haven't been disappointed yet. Food is oaky, but the portion is big. Give it a shot! read more

Food was good service was good but ever thing needs to be cleaned ,baseboard are all beaten up . Tables chairs and walls all need refreshing bathroom smells bad ! read more
