Went to Acapulco on 'Taco Tuesday' around 7pm and the place was packed. We had to wait a little to…read morebe seated, but it was absolutely worth it. The service was fast despite how busy they were, and several tacos were on special for only $3. The tacos were packed with filling, meat tender and flavorful, and tortillas were homemade. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. My favorite items were tacos Al Pastor and Gringas with crunchy cheese outside. Both incredibly delicious. The frozen watermelon margarita was also a standout and paired perfectly with the meal. It wasn't overly sweet. Great food, great atmosphere and great value, at least on Tuesday's haha... Coming back for sure!

Amazing tacos and a great first stop once we arrived in San Juan! My friend and I love coming here;…read moreit's our 3rd visit! The tacos are amazing; diverse flavors and you will leave feeling full and satisfied! We arrived around 1pm on Cinco De Mayo and got seated immediately because there's lots of space on the second floor! The service was great! Once we ordered the food arrived within 10 minutes. I will say it is Hot upstairs because it's a covered patio. Not much circulation so wear something light :) Happy Hour is daily starting at 6pm!

The vibe was great, the food was fresh and well made, and the service was friendly overall. A fun bonus: we actually got to see the famous rock band Maná dining there, which was such a cool surprise! We ordered quite a bit--the chips and queso, chips and guac, hot sauce, tamale, rice and beans, kids cheese quesadilla, and veggie fajitas. The kids' quesadilla was a huge hit with our 5-year-old (who is a picky eater and devoured it). The veggie fajitas were decent and tasty, though for the price I would have liked a bit more on the plate in terms of sides. There was a small hiccup where cilantro was accidentally added to one of my dishes, and it did take quite a while for the corrected dish to come out, but they were very kind about it. That said, everything else was enjoyable and the overall experience was still very good. Overall, a great spot for solid Mexican food in Old San Juan with a fun atmosphere and fresh flavors.

After exploring Old San Juan, I'd say this restaurant really fits the artistic aesthetic. Both with…read morethe decorations and food. On to the specifics of the food. Duck Quesadillas: When I think of a duck quesadilla, I think of something that has a rich profile, but this was surprisingly humble. The duck, mushroom, and cheese all harmonized well to create a symphonic doughy pillow. Definitely recommend it. Grouper Fillet: I don't get the chance to eat Grouper often, but when I do it always hits. I can confidently say that my experience has continued. Despite the bed of sweet potatoes, you could still make out the distinct semi-sweet flavor of the fish. Also the creamy sauce paired perfectly with both the potatoes and fish. Of all the different restaurants I could've chosen, I think this was one of the best ones to end off my night in Old San Juan. Looking forward to coming back!

Let me start by saying the food was delicious. Our group of 4 ordered a variety of items including…read morenachos, birria tacos, grouper tacos and birria Quesadilla. Everything was hot and fresh. That said, the service was incredibly slow. We stopped in before our rum tour. Arriving at 12:30 there were only 3 other people in the restaurant (so not busy!). The setup implies that this is fast food...you order at a kiosk in the front and they call your number when ready. We waited 30 minutes for the first item to come out and then approx. 15 minutes between each of our 4 items to be delivered. So the first person in our to get their meal was finished before the last person received their food, and we were there close to an hour and a half - which nearly made us late for our 2:00 tour. I definitely recommend this place for the food if you aren't on a time crunch.

Service was great as before and the food was very good. I like the tako birirras but the dip is a little too oily tasting to me. The quesadilla was very good.
