    Birria Soup
    Jacqui C.

    It's a cute restaurant. Their menu, in my opinion, was more unique/authentic then other Mexican restaurants. Service was quick and the food was good. There was a huge party there when we were there, so it was pretty loud, but seems it would have been quite otherwise. They even have a small gift shop.

    Nuevo Acapulco has good food, great drinks and is always a nice time. There is a great patio with a bar that is really fun to sit at and enjoy a meal or some drinks and appetizers. The food is fresh and authentic. Try the guacamole made at your table to your liking, so fresh and delicious. My favorite drink is the jalapeño margarita- so good!

    I used to come here for years! We decided to try it again after so long and since they moved to their new location. The quality of food has really gone down. Most items we ordered were bland and tasted nothing like we used to get. It was disappointing since we came to celebrate a birthday. The restaurant was pretty empty the day we went. We were seated in a back corner. They give complimentary chips & salsa. For the birthday they put a sombrero on and staff comes to sing while you enjoy complimentary chips with whipped cream on them. Staff were friendly, but the food quality was the issue. I don't know what happened but it did not taste like it used to. Even the chips they give didn't feel fresh. Spacious restaurant and lots of Mexican flair with the artwork. Free parking.

    Charley's burger from Nuevo Acapulco.

    This is my family's favorite restaurant on the Wiest side of Cleveland. I've never had a bad experience at this place. Ever. I got the Charley's burger here today and it was excellent. The sweet and savory flavor combinations worked very well and were properly balanced. One of the best burgers I've had in my life. I would definitely order it again.

    We have eaten at Nuevo many times. Although not recently. We took a chance on getting a table on Friday, right at dinner time. I was happily surprised that there was no waiting. Was also surprised to be told to just pick a sit anywhere. We order drinks and dinner. My husband had a margarita and. I had homemade sangria. The sangria was super sweet and lacking any sign of fruit at all. Our dinners came very promptly. We both ordered Seafood Chimichangas. They were just mediocre. Seemed lacking in much seafood. Several bites were just dough and cheese. I finished neither my drink or my entree. Something has changed in This restaurant. They used to be the best. Now, I doubt we will return. Whatever has gone wrong, I hope they figure it out.

    The food is 5 stars, I took one away due to no wiggke room on their menu. I am pescatarian and couldnt add shrimp to anything on special. Just shrimp and fish CANNOT be added. Me, being economically wise, would like to enjoy the happy hour specials and could not. Food always tastes a bit less amazing when you have to pay full price and its happy hour.

    Food is authentic and fresh. Service is friendly and swift. I went with a friend for dinner and we split a combo. I tend to forget to snap a pic, but honestly there's food you look at, and then there's food you eat. We ate all of it. Oh also, they bring out salsa and chips. I don't know how or why but the salsa was noteworthy.

    ***1ST TIME EXPERIENCE*** Greeted & seated immediately for 2 on a Saturday afternoon. Didn't seem busy at all surprisingly. We were given the option to choose where we sat. It's pretty spacious to say. They also have a bar and their own corner store to sell jewelry, etc. FOOD was delicious all around Nothing to complain about. I'm not familiar with traditional Mexican cooking but I can say this place was great. Ordered CHICKEN TAQUITOS (size portion couldn't be beat), SHRIMP CEVICHE, PORK CARNITAS ENCHILADAS and TACOS AL PASTOR. All 10/10! Definitely added as a favorite.

    Jumbo Marg

    Perfect place for an afternoon margarita. Make it a Jumbo! This place has been around for some time. Food is always hot and good quality. Atmosphere is neighborhood casual with friendly staff. Service is personal and prompt. I had the enchilada special with chicken. Tasty and enough for two meals. Go with the refried beans. They are the best. Marg was tasty with salt rim slushy, on the rocks or just plain available. All great quality flavor. When they say Jumbo they mean it. I love that they give each person an individual salsa dish to go with chips. Double dip to your delight.

We ordered a whipped ricotta to start which was really delicious, I was eating with a fork once we ran out of bread haha Assorted dishes around the table included the veggie pasta, vodka pasta, lobster Mac, burger and Italian sandwich.

Both pastas were very good, I had the vodka with meatballs and really enjoyed it. Also huge portions, I took home basically half my plate. Meatballs weren't the best ever but did the job.

Atmosphere was a wood, rustic, whiskey barrel feel and the food was great. Came back this year, and it was probably the most brutal restaurant experience I've had in a while. So Char is now called Avo Mexican, but they didn't change the atmosphere to replicate a Mexican place. It's still whiskey themed- with signs slapped on the old logo. They still have some of the old menu items from Char- which is so confusing too. When we walked in I asked the host if the bar was open seating. He said "oh I don't know" and walked away. We just sat at the bar since he didn't come back. We asked the Bartender what happened to Char and he said the owners wanted a rebrand. But it looked like a whiskey bar still....they didn't rebrand anything. I got a marg and my guy asked for a Mexican beer they used to have. Bartender said we haven't had that in a year. So they got rid of all their Mexican beers....? Even though they are now a Mexican place? So he ended up getting a Coors Light. My Marg lacked any sweetness or Agave. It was tequila and lime juice- poor bartender was struggling with 4 bar guests. It was kinda sad. I got a taco salad and my guy got a burger. He used to get the burger with fries, but now that it's Mexican, they only have chips. We had chips and guac for an app, so that was super annoying. Fries used to be really good. And who wants a burger without fries? Place wasn't busy, but our food took 35 minutes. Bartender kept apologizing and saying the kitchen was slammed. It clearly wasn't, I'm sure the cooks were adjusting to a new menu. Food was okay. Used to be really good, but I wouldn't recommend anymore. I guess they close at 8pm some days, because around 7:40 when we just had gotten our food, the bartender said it's last call. We were kinda laughing that they did a last call during normal dinner hours. My fiancé was considering getting another beer after dinner, but I guess they were closing...so weird. I've never seen a place close at peak dinner hours. No idea why they rebranded it. Confusing signage, food is not good anymore, drinks are bad, atmosphere doesn't make sense, menu is lackluster, service and kitchen are lacking, hours are bad. Sucks to write this, but I 100% will not be returning.
