I had the pleasure of dining at Acapulco of Downey today. Out was excellent like always. My favorite meal is the Fajitas Gigante. I highly recommend them. The restaurant was impeccably clean. And so were the restrooms. The managers and staff always courteous and friendly. Thank you, Acapulco!👏

I had such a wonderful time at brunch with my dad at Acapulco Downey. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was perfect for a relaxed Sunday, and everything felt so welcoming. What truly made the experience special was our waiter, Luis Miguel. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of, all with such kindness and genuine warmth. Highly recommend coming here for a memorable meal and asking for Luis Miguel, you’ll be in the best hands.
