Yummy-yummy! Food was super tasty and fresh as were the margaritas. Gerardo, our server was very attentive and friendly, definitely upped the experience. Wide-eyed, I was able to spot my first groundhog (they really do exist!) digging around on the golf course...cute little sucker. read more

I'm going just off the food. All the food was very bland and when I say all I mean there was no flavor in the food. if I would've closed my eyes and had my wife forcefully spoon feed me I wouldn't have been able to distinguish what I was eating. Everything had the same flavor which was bland. read more

Quick and friendly service. Food was good and restaurant was clean. Hadn't been out for awhile so it was a great non crowded space.

The waiters are nice but really slow. The Shrimp Tula was filling flavorful comfort food. There is seating with a nice view of the golf course nearby. And a huge plus...if your feeling adventurous is the Maserati dealership nearby :-) BONUS. read more

Okay, I know it's not a five-star restaurant for gourmet-qualities but the food & service were nice (and quick) and I can't think of anything to critique (and i can be persnickity...) i won't steer you wrong. i ordered the grilled chicken patilla (looks like a burrito). gone in minutes... read more

This place needs some love. The seats are cracking and the menus are dirty. We sat next to a ferris wheel plant holder but all the plants were dead. That being said the food was good. We had Carne Asada and it was delicious. read more

This place is gross. The chicken in the taco salad had a horrible after taste. I couldn't even eat my salad. It almost tasted like it was cooked in soy sauce. The staff was not unfriendly, but also not super friendly, and definitely not well informed of the items on the menu. I did enjoy the bottomless chips and salsa, but only because they were bottomless. The chips are warm and tasted fresh, I didn't love the salsa. The other people in my party also felt that the food tasted bland and almost more Asian with strong tastes of soy sauce. I definitely won't be going back here. I'd suggest avoiding this place if you can. read more

I just want to say first off, the staff at Acapulcos is great! If it wasn't for them, I would have given one star. That said... The food: - Over-priced - Poor quality - For mexican, very bland believe it or not The place: - Very spacious - Great for family - Clean The staff/service: - Very welcoming - Very attentative I had the shrimp and steak combo. The steak was very poor quality and the ship was over-cooked. My wife had a burrito and she said it was OK. Maybe I went on a bad night?? I live in Norwood and will say that I may not go back. Oddly, this was my first visit. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE! I'm not sure why everyone loves this place. I had dinner here on a Tuesday (5/12/2012) & was quite disappointed. The best things about this place are the nice staff and the great margaritas. I had the ultimate margarita and I also had them add raspberry to it on the second round of drinks. Yummy! Now for the bad! Chips and salsa were good but not amazing. I found the chips to be greasy and they left a wax like after taste in my mouth. We ordered the nachos with shredded beef & the shrimp with mushrooms. Both were appetizers. The shrimp was disgusting. It wasn't cleaned properly, had a fishy smell & taste. The shrimp lining/waste had no been removed. I found the cleanest one, tasted it & I refused to eat the rest. The smell was literally making me nauseous. It was not fresh at all. The nachos were extremely soggy & somewhat bland. Couldn't enjoy them too much due to the sogginess. Needless to say I did not order anything else from the menu. Both dishes completely turned me off I ended with a slight stomach ache & nausea for 2 days. Go for the margaritas! STAY AWAY FROM THE FOOD. read more

I came here with four of my friends. The decor is ok. Waiter was friendly. We ordered nachos & chicken wings for appetizers. The chicken wings were too greasy and nachos was just ok. On the nachos, I would have preferred beans, more veggies and less chicken. For dinner we had fajitas and fish tacos. The tacos and the fajitas were excellent and hence the four stars. Would go back if in the area again. read more

This place is hit or miss. I like the food but some of the reviews say this isn't genuine Mexican so I guess I don't know what I am talking about. I like the El Paso Chimichanga. This time we got the flan for dessert too which was delish. The thing I didn't care for this time around was the service. The server who waited on us we have had before and he was fine. There is one server that is exceptional but unfortunately we weren't lucky enough to sit in his section this time. I could see the server that we were sat with rushing around the restaurant when we came in. He was eazy to spot because every one else was relaxed. He was the only one that thought the sky was falling. Being that it was 4:30 on a Friday evening I didn't see a crowd in the restaurant that warranted him running around like he was. Maybe he was anticipating the crowd that would be arriving . Not sure but I just know how we were treated by this man with only 5 or 6 tables occupied and multiple orders I ordered an unsweetened Iced tea. My friend said her drink order would be a little more complex than that. Meaning something alcoholic. Not sure what he thought she meant but he was like well hopefully not too complex. I am really busy. So right there we were like ok and looked at each other in disbelief because the way he said it was just rude. He was trying to rush us through the order so much so that he screwed up the dish I got for myself and my son and our dessert order. He wasn't letting us complete a sentence. I wanted a beef chimichanga. I got chicken. I wanted beans and rice with my son's chicken fingers and he brought me fries. That I noticed right away and had him correct it but the chicken Chimichanga I ended up eating in the interest of getting out of there in a timely manner. We had 3 children under 4 with us. I did bring it to his attention afterward about the Chimichanga but there was no apology or anything. HE WAS TO BUSY!!! He was running all over that restaurant like a maniac. If he would have slowed it down a bit he would have gotten those orders right and saved his sanity. He probably screwed up other people's orders too. I also saw him cutting in front of customers snd then going oh excuse me after he had already done it. Really rude. I like the food but I think next time I'll take it over to the Chateau. They know how to treat customers. I consider going out to eat a luxury. Not something I have the money to do a lot so when I am treated like a hinderance for no valid reason by the person who is supposed to make it a wonderful experience for me, I have a problem with that. I was going to complain to the restaurant but after reading these other reviews it sounds like we aren't the only ones. A good restaurant owner checks social media and other sites for this stuff. An even better one does something about it. read more

Closed bar at 10:00 lThursday bartender Karina decided last call not best service would not recommend..if wanting to have a last call.. boyfriend sitting at bar even chimed in and said she has right to refuse service...people in restaurant and refused to serve ...really place was empty..I guess they do not need paying customers...will not recommend...customers first not here.. read more

Acapulcos - Mexican Near Me - Norwood, Massachusetts

Acapulco's is a great Mexican restaurant with a good blend of traditional and Americanized Mexican food. The service and atmosphere are friendly. Hot chips and fresh salsa are complimentary and are served right away. Portions are large and delicious. My favorite dish is the Enchiladas del Mar (two tortillas filled with a blend of shrimp, crab, scallops, fish and fresh vegetables. Garnished with sour cream and avocado slices. Served with rice and beans.) Friends favorites include the Acapulco Burrito and the Pork Carnitas. The restaurant also has good margaritas and is a fun place to grab a drink. I highly recommend it! read more

Stopped by on a week day for late lunch and sat at the bar. I ordered the beef burrito that came with beans and rice. Portions were healthy and quality just okay. Salsa was horrible and bev prices were a bit steep for this kinda joint. read more

Mediocre mexican fare... margarita was great..server was pleasant...ordered a mixed fajita.....as you can see in the photo...the steak was a cheap, thin cut....overcooked...no flavor...tough... chicken was dry and flavorless...shrimp was tasty at least...rice was overcooked and flavorless as well... I should have known better to walk in when I saw that stereotypical Italian pizza guy statue outside the door. read more

I am from Texas so I have a keen craving and taste bud for Tex-Mex and this is a little above mediocre but it's a convenient neighborhood joint when we crave Tex-Mex. Our 2nd visit and in the middle of the day, there's one waiter. He's racing around serving everyone. The couple next to us ordered the fresh guac. We ordered the same, after we'd already placed our meal order. The waiter bluntly stated that we'd have to wait since he was so busy. It's as if we had to have known that we wanted EVERYTHING at the time of our order. It's a restaurant, so is it a crime to order additional items?? I can't get past that rude behavior. I also ordered a cheese enchilada that never arrived. He tried to joke about it later as he handed us the check. I paid and tipped him nicely but we won't be back. read more

The food was amazing, desert was also good the drinks were strong, so I guess that could be good or bad depending on how you like em'! I would definitely recommend this place! Great ambiance & fast friendly service! read more

Nice ambience, nice drinks, but below average food. Had the enchiladas and tacos combo. Food was very boring with no flavor.

I used to go here quite a bit and then it just seemed to change. The margaritas are good although pre-mixed, but there is something about the food that tastes different. The price you pay just isn't worth the amount of food you get anymore. The bar area is the best place to eat as the main dining area can be very crowded and noisy. Overall it is a good place for a couple of margaritas (did I spell that right?). read more

Excellent Mexican food, lightning fast and very friendly service and HUGE portions! Ordered the Pollo Con Crema which was a dish with sauteed cubes of chicken breast and mushrooms in a creamy sauce. The dish was served with 3 warm flour tortillas, rice and beans. ABSOLUTELY delicious! Since the portions were so big, I could only eat half and take the rest home. The only downside that I have to say about this place is that for some reason, when I order a glass of water, iced tea or soda, it always tastes like chlorine so I would stick to their margaritas (very yummy) or beer! If you're looking for some good mexican food, I highly recommend this place. read more

So came with hubs and our 3 y/o on a Sunday for lunch. Yeah, the weird little Italian statue outside didn't bode well, but we decided to give it a shot. The service was great -- very nice young man. Free chips and salsa. The salsa was terrible. Like, really bad. I'm reading other reviews and seeing that this is a "thing" there, so fix it, guys! My enchiladas were fine and the rice and beans were very good. My little one had the quesadilla, which was ok. No drinks included on the kids menu, which I should have noticed, so we were charged $2.25 for milk for her + the $5.95 for the quesadilla. Anyway, hubs got a combo -- shrimp were very good -- much better than I thought they would be. Chix was ok. I think I would go back for a decent Mexi meal, but hubs is on the fence. And no milk for the kid, next time -- she'll be fine with h2o. IMPROVE THE SALSA, PLEASE!!! read more

Food is always reliable! Such good flavor and their guacamole is the best I've ever had! YUM!

Acapulcos in Norwood has turned into a favorite for both me and my girlfriend. It is not easy finding good Mexican food in our area and Acapulcos is VERY good Mexican food. I wish I could tell you about their expansive menu, but I stick to the steak/chicken fajitas and Anejo tequila-both are great. The food is always excellent and plentiful. The staff is amazing and prices are very good. read more

This place is consistently very very good. I live close by and get cravings for Acapulco's all the time & have had a fair amount of dishes from their menu all of which are delicious. First of all service is excellent. The people who work here are some of the nicest and very accomidating Next, their drinks, especially the margaritas ahhh so good! They have tons of flavors, blended & on the rocks. The alcohol is there too so its not just a weak sweet drink which i cant stand! I would recommend the strawberry marg. And finally & most importantly, the food. Right off the bat you get chips & salsa which are so good they are seriously addictive like you can't put them down. The chips are nice and warm and the salsa is very authentic with some nice heat to it. Seriously just about every meal i have had here is delicious. And the portions are HUGE. Pretty much every dish comes with rice, beans, guac & sour cream. I would reccomend the fajitas, the fajita chimichanga, the tacos, and my favorite, the fajita wrap burrito. I think you can see a theme here but seriously those dishes are perfect. Only thing I wouldn't recommend is the salads. Enjoy going to Acapulco's its soooo good!!! read more

Worse experience I have ever had at a restaurant. Not only was my order incorrect, after specifying an allergy, they refused to redo my order. They also refused service which was absurd granted that my 77 year old grandmother was waiting outside for her meal... read more

Decent Mexican food and a rare find for New England. Wonderful Mexican decor and ambiance. Reminds me of my hometown of El Paso, Texas. Went on the Saturday before New Years and was treated to great live music. read more

Decent food. i ordered a pick up. i walked in watched multiple waitress/ waiters and hostess look at me and walk right by me. i waited a good 30 mins before i walked out and i never went back. there might of been 3 people in the whole restaurant. read more

I wanted to like this place but I couldn't . I had the rice with shrimp dish and it was just unappetizing . My friend had the same and she also didn't like it . Although the service was good , I won't be going back . read more

Amazing food. Great ambiance. Always pleased with the service and meals. Love eating at Acapulcos

"reasonable" Mexican food with decent Margaritas in an OK setting. Too bad the area does not have any better options for Mexican as this becomes the default winner even though the food is not really authentic. Frankly, you could close your eyes, eat the food, and think you were eating Chi-Chis from 15 years ago- and we all remember that is just a gloopy, cheesy, mess of Americanified Mexican food. Oh well, until another option pops up, this will get an occasional visit when you have a hankering for burritos or tacos. read more

I live nearby. If it is a choice between here and Taco Bell in Walpole, have lunch or dinner here. If I had a choice between staying in Norwood and eating here or driving to Quincy to eat at La Paloma, Quincy it is, even in heavy traffic during a snowstorm. read more

I went here recently on a date. Very lively restaurant. Excellent energy and a very friendly staff. I had a shrimp dish and my dare had tacos. Both excellent. The Mariachi singers were excellent also. I really enjoyed it and I will be coming back. Just very enjoyable tome for all. read more

Honestly the best Mexican restaurant place out there...they have numerous locations (Framingham, Amesbury, quincy, and more!) Fresh and hot chips and salsa come out right when you sit down, and they are constantly refilling them for you. wait staff is very friendly and attentive. most importantly portions are huge--and not just the food, the margaritas as well! Everything really is delicious...its seriously i think my favorite restaurant!!!! I recommend the Fajitas Chimmichanga (not sure how to spell it)...its basically a fajitas wrapped up like a burrito and deep fried! Yummy!!! read more

After eating dinner at this restaurant, I'm having a hard time giving it as good of a rating as the other reviews. I went with their El Presidente margarita on the rocks, which was actually pretty good - easy on the marg mix, and just right with the tequila and cointreau. I tried their "traditional" acapulco chicken burrito which was actually quite large and easy on the eyes; however, the shredded chicken was dry and the enchilada sauce was more mild than their salsa. My advice, spice it up a bit! read more

We were in the mood for Mexican food and decided to try Acapulcos. We had wings which were flavorful the buffalo sauce and ranch sauce were on the side and it came with celery sticks and carrot sticks very tasty. My husband got the chicken fajitas which he enjoyed. I got a beef burrito which was so so it was a lot of food on one plate but that's about all I can say for it there was no flavor. The beans were soupy and rice luke warm. The service was the best part we had a wonderful waiter who explained the menu comma he was very pleasant and very attentive. All in all it did set satisfy Mexican craving. read more

Food was bland and boring. Maybe because I'm Latina I had higher expectations for "Mexican" food. Not authentic tasting, over-Americanized food Taco Bell tastes better. read more

I was in the mood for fajitas and I got myself one of those Boston Deal coupons, get $25 worth of food for $12. The fajita was quite good. The guacamole was tasty and there was certainly plenty of food. My son got a quesadilla which he was happy with. I am not a huge fan of their salsa, but the chips were fine. The rice is a little dry and the refried beans were fine. It was a great deal with the coupon. Actually, it would have been an inexpensive dinner without a coupon ($32 for for two meals and two sodas), so I feel I got a steal with the coupon. The service was quick and pleasant. Not the best meal I have eaten, but it was good. I would go back. read more

I love Acapulcos, but this location in Norwood seems to be my favorite of the chain. Me and 3 friends were in for dinner on Friday night. It was super busy but the wait staff was quick and friendly as always. Our margaritas were delicious and the food was amazing as always. I ordered the Enchiladas Jalisco, which was delicious. 2 of my friends got the Acapuloco Burrito and loved theirs also. My third friend ordered the tacos and was happy with her food also. I will just drive the 30 minutes the next time to the Norwood location even though the Framingham one is 2 minutes away. read more

My family who lives in Walpole introduced us to this place. My little cousin loves this place because she can dance in the restaurant! I tried the steak fajitas and they were so yummy!! I filled up on the chips and salsa before my meal came that I had so much left over that I had lunch the next day and let me tell you it was just as yummy as the night before :) The margaritas were so yummy!! I can't wait to go back. Now I just need to find time!! read more
