    It was New Year's Eve...the food was good. The prices are great when you have 10 grandchildren and spouses. It fell on Taco Tuesday. It's 5 m8nutes from my home so we watched the valley drop in New York and was home by 10! Perfect!

    What a nice evening dinner we had at Acapulco! They were VERY busy and there were SEVERAL parties all around us, which made the whole restaurant come alive! Our Server Hector, Mgr Hector and the entire team work SO hard to make everyone feel pampered and special! Not only was the food quality , EXCEPTIONAL - including the Seafood! - but the staff visited the table often and was VERY attentive to our needs. (They had to be exhausted when they went home they were almost RUNNING to each table!) Thanks again, for a great time, Hector and Hector and team! Look forward to seeing you again for another wonderful dinner!

    CHRISTMAS DAY DINNER TIME ONLY: understandably that the staff to customer ratio at this time/day is crazy. Food was taking longer, staff was short etc

    We had a great time our waitress was so perfect. She is a lovely girl and a great asset to the company. I don’t know her name, but I wish I did. The food was great. It’s a very reasonably priced buffet with bottomless mimosas and there’s nothing else I can say but fabulous

    We took advantage of their All-You-Can-Eat buffet on Christmas Day. We arrived a few minutes early prior to our reservation time, but they were able to seat us right away. Two different buffet tables were set up. There were a lot of choices and the food was excellent. Our server Daisy was very pleasant and efficient. We left with very full stomachs! Overall, it was well worth it.

    Enjoy the food and the option of inside and a nice outside patio option for seating. It was too loud however to have a good conversation. Mostly the music, but also a couple of large parties. Parties actually are understandable as they were holiday parties, the music just made it louder.

    We loved our waiter Roberto he was very attentive to us. For the food aspect, I was very disappointed in the choices. The turkey was very tough and dry. Also, the selection of foods was not worth the $40 a person.

    We LOVE going to see our friends at Acapulco, especially Hector! Talk about 5 STAR service! Not only was the food spectacular (fajitas, tacos, enchiladas, rice/beans, margaritas, table-side guacamole, etc.), but everyone works SO IMPRESSIVELY as a TEAM at this restaurant! HECTOR is such a great person (and BRILLIANT!), but even when he gets very busy w/lots of customers, he still manages to make us feel special - EVERY TIME! The mgr stopped by and assisted us in making plans for our next visit, Thanksgiving! This place makes you feel like family when you arrive and you can't wait to return to such good food and WONDERFUL folks like Hector, the mgr and the gentleman who was delivering food from the kitchen. THANK YOU for the nice date night out! See you soon!
