Acapulco Restaurant & Cantina

Hector was our waiter and did the best he could. We were a table of 17- with a reservation- he was the only waiter in the entire place so things took a very long time. He worked hard but your restaurant needs more staff

This was the best buffet I have ever been too. You could tell all the food was being made from scratch. It all tasted authentic. The tortillas were made in front of you and so were the quesabirrias and sopes. $50 per adult 18 for kids over 3 it was well worth it. Our server Ricardo was attentive and friendly

Horrible service, lack of communication, waiter took extremely long even to bring basic things to our table, food was cold. I never leave reviews like these but this situation was unacceptable. Manager told us that the server was “busy” but how were we supposed to know that?

The food was excellent and extraordinary. Service was perfect! We would definitely eat here again.....

A true neighborhood gem. I've been enjoying this restaurant for decades, they never disappoint!

We had a nice family gathering. Good food and drinks at fair prices. Great service by Armando.

First time dining here and it was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and everything exceeded our expectations. What truly made the experience extra special was our waiter, Roberto. He was incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable—he made us feel so welcome and taken care of from start to finish. You can tell he genuinely cares about the guests' experience. We will definitely be coming back, and we'll be asking for Roberto!

Delicious variety of food for brunch including desserts, Mexican meats and side dishes. Traditional starter soups and sweet bread. Definitely will be back.

Roberto was fantastic! He was very accommodating and really made our brother's birthday special. He was quick and we had lots of fun. This was our first time in the Costa Mesa location - beautiful backyard and really helpful staff in general.

Jesus our server/waiter was great. He went over & above to please us, and he did.!

Peppe and Hector were fantastic!! The food is always great and it is such a wonderful place to just relax and eat!

Went for Sunday brunch they have reconfigured and revamped the Sunday brunch area. there seems to be more of a selection and it seems easier to move around the tables. there seemed to be more people to help with questions and service. the food was good the selection was good; would I come back yes

Lunch buffet was great value. I like the corn cake that's at the buffet as well as the Mexican Cesar salad with cilantro and pepitas. Roberto was my server. He is efficient, and cares for his customers. What more could one ask? Thanks Acapulco for hiring great servers like Roberto. He doesn't for get a thing!

Even with little to no expectations this place failed. Food is gross, chicken is a rubbery, processed definitely not real meat, texture. We arrived after brunch had finished, I had to ask if we had a server after sitting for 15 minutes unattended. Everything was super slow even though it wasn’t busy at all. Even paying took forever. Won’t be back, I can handle ghetto and slow if the food is good but everything sucked.
