We went to Acapulco on the recommendation of a friend and were glad we listened. Immediately upon entering we were greeted with a friendly smile and escorted to a table. The menu is extensive but not overwhelming. The waiter was very knowledgeable regarding the options and answered every question we had thoroughly. The decor was appropriate and the whole place...

This is our favorite Mexican Restaurant...the salsa is awesome and chips homemade. I always get the enchiladas because I love the sauce, but my husband likes the taco combo plates. Not a fancy atmosphere, but don't let that deter you from going...best mexican in Fargo-Moorhead!

The food here is good, about average as far as mexican food goes. The inside of the restaurant is dark and no sight of the outside at all, quite outdated. Staff seemed alright and got our food out in reasonable time.

We go here quite a bit. They just remodeled and it is so bright and colorful now! The main reasons why we go here: Service is OUTSTANDING! They are always smiling and cater to your needs. The menu is average priced. The food comes out super fast and DELICIOUS! I am not a fan of their taco salads but everything... More

I'm shocked this place has bad reviews on here. This is one of the best (and cheapest) places to grab a meal in Fargo. Excellent service. Don't let the outside appearance scare you off. ;)

Great place for mexican food. We didn't want a BIG lunch but something on the mexican side. Ordered a small burrito with rice and beans. It was enough and filling. Service was fast and friendly and food was hot. Cheap prices. Would go back again.

I arrived about 8:05 so they were seating everyone in a small area so they could clean other areas....Restaurant was very clean... They definately try hard but the fajitas were not the item I would recommend..greasy and not very much meat. Chips were fresh with a fresh but very thin salsa. I will try again to give them the chance... More

I was SO excited to try this restaurant after reading the many positive reviews. To those folks, I would say, "You need to spend some time down in the southwest before weighing in on good Mexican food!" But actually you don't...Mi Mexico in Grand Forks and Minot will most certainly change your positive view of Acapulco. A chile relleno is... More

While the atmosphere inside is better than the buildings curb appeal, it is well worth the trip in for lunch or dinner. Value is great and it has been the most authentic Mexican food in the area.

We were a little nervous when we pulled up to this one as my parents hadn't been there in years and it was quite run down looking compared to the last time. Once inside it was a bit better although still the old tacky typical Mexican decor. The margaritas were awesome and the food was great... definitely authentic and quite... More
