    Food was great, I got the taco dinner, the setting was nice they have a table swing to eat at. the people were nice,

    Very stingy on meat. They overfill their burritos with rice and a very small amount of meat. Rip off. Not coming back.

    Highlights of this trip: - excellent beans and rice - cheap price for taco's Came to El Oasis because my nephew wanted to get some Mexican food. We pulled up, parked, waited in line and went with the following items. - Dinner Special (3 tacos with Carintas, rice and beans) - Tostadas with Pastor - Chips and Salsa - Pork Tamales - Torta I was told taco's were small, so I ended up ordering more then usual. Here's what I thought based upon my first experience. - Chips were good, salsa needed some more seasoning; could have used more Lemon and salt. - Pork Tamales - good, lot better then other joints, recommend. - Torta - my nephew had it, he said it was good. I'll have to try it next time. - Tostadas - it was decent, was disappointed because the el pastor(pork) was dried out so the overall dish was just decent. - Dinner Special - 3 tacos, rice and beans, the rice and beans were excellent, a lot better then lot of other Mexican joints that I've tried. Two prices - lower price for the regular meats, upcharge for special meats. I got all my 3 tacos with carnita. While the meat was perfectly cooked, and moist, it lacked seasoning and was on the bland side of the taste aisle. Highlight of this visit had to be the beans and rice, they were excellent, a lot better then a lot of other Mexican joints. While Carnita was good, it lacked flavors and el pastor was dried out. I'm hoping this was just one off day and I'll have a different experience on my next visit. Expect to wait. Was told it'd be 10 minutes to get our food, but honestly with just one person preparing one order at a time, it took 30 minutes to get our food and 10 minutes to consume it. Order at the window, wait, pay when you pick up the food.

    Was expecting better. The tacos were good, but nothing special. The tortilla's often make or break an authentic taco and these were...Meh.

    Anytime I do a review I try to take in the experience as a whole. Not just focusing on the food, or…read moreif the service was bad. So why did I give The Acapulco Mexican Grill a 3 star? Let me explain. The place is conveniently located downtown Charlotte with plenty of parking. If there's no street side parking out front, there's a big lot out back too. It's a good size restaurant with lots of seating inside, but there's also an outdoor patio if that's your thing. The menu has just about anything you would typically want from a sit down Mexican restaurant, and a sizable drink menu also. The place is relatively clean and the restrooms are usually kept up. I've never had a meal or bad service. Sounds like everything you'd want in a restaurant. But honestly, that's how things are supposed to be. I expect the place to be clean. I expect the staff to be polite. I expect the food be good. These are all standard things. A 3 star review is just that, standard. Anything higher would be above and beyond. I just don't think this place or the food is above and beyond. There's a couple other Mexican restaurants nearby, so I'd figure they'd step their game up a notch. Unfortunately I don't see it. I'll eat here again, because I like it. They are in fact better than the other places. But the other places lessor reviews don't automatically add stars to this one. Do average, get average.

    It is good food, authenticity is okay. It isn't that they don't have authentic food, it's more the…read moreflavors just don't taste as good as other places. Still good food, just not the first place I would go for Mexican food. They have great outdoor seating which is a must in the summer!

Not me... the Fajitas were scrimpy & mostly Veggies. We go to ACAPULCO & always get really great food & their Fajitas are full of whatever meat you choose garnished with grilled veggies - not filled either them ... I do think that maybe the Pablo Management needs to visit them or eat there & view their Menu & taste their food. Old Town wasn't any better there at Pablo's as the food wasn't good & again runny unappetizing beans.

    This is a bit off the beaten path for people visiting Lansing…read more The restaurant is small but staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Food is very authentic. We ordered the Chilaquiles Verde, Chile Rellenos, Cheese Quesadillas with side of guacamole, and American Tacos. For drinks we had the Limonada. The result: 1) Chilaquiles-we're awesome. The Verde sauce with the beans really made the dish. 2) Chile Rellenos - was very good. It was surprising that there were carrots in the stuffing with the meat. The combination was good. 3) Quesadilla- can't go wrong but the side of guacamole was fresh and very tasty. 4) American tacos - is at the top of my child's list of tacos from restaurants and my child is very picky. 5) Limonada - home made fresh lime juice blended with ice drink; very refreshing and one of the best I have had. Overall this is a place that I will come back to again!
