I was really looking forward to trying Taqueria Acapulco after reading so many great reviews, but…read moreunfortunately, our experience didn't live up to the hype. Our server seemed a bit unfriendly, and the restaurant itself felt unclean, which was disappointing. The food tasted like it had been sitting for a while--everything just had that "stewed too long" flavor. We enjoyed the Al pastor with pineapple tacos the most but the others including the chicharron and asada we didn't even eat. It's possible we didn't order the right things, but overall it just didn't hit the mark for us. Maybe we caught them on an off day, but I'm not sure we'd give it another try. If we did, we wouldn't order tacos.

The sound can sometimes get a little loud inside the restaurant but that's because it's a favorite spot for IU undergrads. Inside the restaurant is really nice. They can seat parties of one or two and up to a couple dozen or more. The food is always fresh and really good. I usually get fish tacos but this time decided to try their cheese enchiladas. The enchiladas were fantastic but the rice and beans were underwhelming. The beans almost taste like they came directly out of a can, flavorless and bland, but everything else was fresh. My son liked their chicken quesadilla but wasn't impressed with the ranch that came with it, though he usually loves ranch. If you're in Bloomington I definitely recommend trying this restaurant.

The mystery meat in three different tacos all felt and tasted the same. Guacamole was brown and $5 street tacos for about an ounce of over cooked protein is robbery, as is their three tacos and a tasteless slap of beans for $20. There are two authentic Mexican restaurants in town. La Bonita on College and another fairly new one on S Walnut by Enterprise car rental.

All tables receive free chips and salsa, with all of the salsas spicy but very flavorful. I got the enchiladas with chicken, which were amazing. The meat was tender and seasoned well. The rice was arguably the best part of the meal, as their Spanish yellow rice was amazing, especially when eaten with the beans. Service is good, with food generally coming out in 10-15 minutes. The ambiance inside is fun and makes it a great place for a large dinner, such as a birthday or any other celebration. 5/5

I'm not sure how I haven't reviewed VIvencia yet, but I looked and sure enough, I've been slacking!…read more After many trips, here is a quick summary of my most recent visit and some observations. TLDR: Love it. Visited today for breakfast with a friend, and it wasn't busy when I arrived, but was surprised at how many people arrived as we ate. It was a workday, and I thought there might be some breakfast meetings taking place, but the crowd trickled in a bit later as the morning lingered. Coffee options abound. As do smoothies and 'wellness shots' which aren't my thing but if you'd like a shot of healthy greens and a spice I've never heard of, enjoy! I had black coffee and it tasted better than most breakfast shots. They have a wide variety of lattes and other fancy custom options like the strawberry shortcake latte, etc. Ordered the breakfast burrito (sausage) and it was very good. I think I had the hangover burrito before (same thing but with gravy on top) and would opt for that one again next time. I had the strawberry banana pancakes at a prior visit as well, and remember them fondly. My dining companion had biscuits and gravy and said they were good. He is a man of few words. For dinner, they have a great menu that is 'latin flavors' as they say - everything from traditional Mexican food you'd find elsewhere to Argentinian options and more. They have great food. On a nice day, the patio is great other than the street traffic noise. This is a great option if you're wanting to get away from the other Mexican restaurants in town but still want something along those lines.

We go here occasionally because it's been consistently good. Now it's just OK in our opinions…read more We had chile rellenos. They're usually reliable. Last night there were...OK. Obviously prepared in advance, they were bland. No flair. For $15 you get beans and rice and tortillas-- except they forgot the tortillas. No real presentation values. Slow service despite being almost the only ones in the restaurant. The stuffed chilies were.... greasy, their (red) sauce bland. Blah. We understand food costs are rising, but here, the quality is going down. I shrug. Lots of competition around town. The upsides are that it's clean, nice restrooms, and very polite. Downsides are slower service, and no flair. We don't drink alcohol, and didn't sample their drinks. Maybe those are good. We'll never know or care.
