The prices that are posted online on their menu are not what you pay in person. The food was just okay nothing special. One of our meals was supposed to come with lettuce, sour cream, and guacamole which we didn't receive. It was almost $50 for two meals and no drinks which is very overpriced especially for takeout in my opinion. read more

Small place with fresh food and pretty good service. The food is served quickly and always seems to be cooked perfectly. Good prices too.

Nice small restaurant. Stopped in for lunch as we passed through and it was well worth it!

Ordered to take out and 38.30 for a chimichanga and 3 tacos. Food was ok but not worth that price. Definitely will not return

Stopped in due to finding it on Yelp and I was nearby. I really really liked it. Chips were yellow and on the thicker side of a spectrum. The salsa was different - very tomato-y, almost like a thin marina - but I ate it all. And got more. I never clean the salsa cup. Doesn't look like much on the outside but inside was clean and neat. Waitress was super friendly and while it was not busy, it had a fairly diverse clientele including military (discount available). I got all very mild things (rice included, kinda plain) but I heard you could ask for spicier options. The rest of the food was quick, fresh, and tasty. If I lived there, I'd probably go quite a bit. read more

Food was good. I picked up to go food. I noticed the last time I went I was charged more than the time before and I ordered the exact same thing. I checked because the guy that checked me out didn't want to give me a receipt and said I didn't need to sign it, which was different than the week before. Check your receipts, I'm sure he gave himself a tip. read more

If there's ever a shortage in laxatives, be rest assured you can go here for the remedy. I placed an order from Door Dash, so to be fair I don't know if the problem was from the creature that delivered the food or the food itself. Within an hour of finishing my meal, I was confined to the porcelain throne for the next 2 days. Buyer beware! read more

The owner is absolutely amazing. We ordered a large amount of rice to cater a veteran event and the owner put did hisself. Amazing rice and salsa. He is so polite and very professional. The restaurant itself is a great! All the food is amazing. read more

Great location right outside of the Fort Leavenworth main gate. Have been here repeatedly over the past few months. The Pollo Acapulco meal is a favorite. The Pollo a La Diablo is also good; spicy. Couldn't stop eating it even though my mouth was burning and nose running:) House margaritas are $3.99. Minus one star because the chips are not consistent. Sometimes they are stale. Will definitely return. read more

Leavenworth...you are sleeping on this gem! I work on SW blvd, this could rival if not beat several restaurants in quality, price, and service. Came in on Cinco de Mayo. We were trying to go somewhere else but we ran late(not another Mexican restaurant) and they were closed. Drove past and stopped cause it looked empty. It did pick up while we were there Service was 12/10. Attentive and helpful without hovering. Chips and salsa were delicious. Loved both salsas, one really had a kick. My friend and I both ordered the Acapulco chicken platter. We should've split 1! Sooo much food. Came out really fast. Fluffy rice, lots of both chicken and shrimp,all covered in a tasty white sauce. The whole meal was perfect. I had a really great Pina coloda. Friend had a beer and house margarita, he said the latter wasn't overly just mix like some places. Our waiter even recommended where we could go listen to some live mariachi for the night! I don't come to this area often but will be sure to visit again! read more

Acapulco Mexican Grill - Large portion and DELISH - Mexican Near Me - Leavenworth, Kansas

Went to Lawrence to visit my daughter and we decided to go out for Mexican food. Didn't know which restaurant to choose so picked based on Yelp recommendations. Spot on!! Great restaurant. Staff very friendly and supporting COVID restrictions. There were 6 of us but they were able to seat us right away. Immediately served us with beverages (great prices on drinks) and took our food order. We did not have to wait long for the food and it was delicious. We all ordered different dishes and each tasted great. I definitely recommend Acapulco for large and small groups. read more

I got carne asada tacos with beans and rice. Everything was bland but the salsa was delicious. Adding a little salt helps the flavor pop and request extra salsa cuz that will make all the difference in the food. read more

Visited this little place this afternoon with a coworker and ordered from the lunch menu. It's a cozy little establishment with an attentive staff and a fairly extensive menu. I ordered the chicken chimichanga lunch special and it came with rice and beans. I have add before I mention the entree that the chips and salsa were pretty good. More the chips than the salsa. Anyway, the chicken chimichanga was kinda "meh", I thought the fried burrito should have been a little crispier. I felt the beans were a little on the watery side and surprisingly bland. The best thing on my plate by far was the rice. Fluffy, seasoned, just about perfect. I would come here again and try something different, but they gotta go harder in the paint. read more

We were getting tired of the same old Mexican food takeout during the pandemic so decided to mix it up and go with the place right outside of the base gates. The food was 3.5-4 stars but the service was 5, so that rounds out to be a 4 star review. They gave me the entirely wrong food so it was hard to judge my entree, but my husbands was pretty decent. Their spicy salsa is pretty delicious. Their queso cheese dip was like straight water which was disappointing but my 18 month old loved dipping his chips so it wasn't a total bust. We would go back again. read more

I've never been a big fan of traditional Mexican food until I ate at Acapulco Mexican Grill! Simon is so nice and the food is sooo good! My kids love it too!! It doesn't look like much walking by but if you don't stop in and try it you are really missing out! read more

I think that this is the third restaurant to be outside the gates of Leavenworth in the past few years. I would give it a solid 3. I had the chicken Burrito, that contained shredded chicken, rice and beans. The chunky salsa is really good, but the chips did not seem fresh. Good deal, and very close to post. If you want "higher end", go to Tampicos. read more

Acapulco Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Leavenworth, Kansas

Out of all the Mexican restaurants in Leavenworth this is my favorite. It's nice and small so you know there won't be chaos while you eat. The chips are fried to perfection and they have an excellent spicy salsa that will warm your whole body up. I order the fajita taco salad and it always tastes fresh. I wish I could take a bucket of their spicy salsa home. read more

My party of three showed up at 7:45 and were greeted and invited in. Despite closing at 8:00, they took our order and told us not to rush. The service was just as amazing as the tacos! I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely go again; earlier of course as to not inconvenience anyone. read more

Bland food. Everything tastes the same somehow... like nothing. Even basic flavors like salt are completely absent. The chips have zero salt, tastes like eating paper. read more

Went here with one other person to get Mexican. Arrived when they just opened, which was great because, the place was packed within 30 minutes. Our server brought us Salsa and Chips, which were good. Both ordered the Burrito Special, which was ok, but could use more flavor. The service for a small place like this was slow, we had to rely on the other server to get more to drink and our check. This place is across the street from Ft. Leavenworth's second gate. read more

I ordered the combo with a chicken chimichanga and two beef enchiladas. I usually don't go with a combo when evaluating, but I was beguiled by the great deal on the combo. The beef burritos in the combo aren't anything special, but the chimi was fantastic. The white sauce over the chimi had great consistency and complimented the flavor of the chicken nicely. One surprising highlight was the horchata, which was not only sweet, but thicker than most other restaurants' watered down version. Good salsa that tasted fresh, too. read more

Acapulco Mexican Grill - Combo #8 Chicken chimi with two beef burritos - Mexican Near Me - Leavenworth, Kansas

I've been here twice. I'm a "mexican" food snob. I'm from CA where great authentic mexican is on every corner. This is the best Mex food so far in KC. It's a tiny place. The owners/staff are very very friendly. Food comes FAST. I've been here with friends twice on Thursday night which is enchilada special night. So far I've had the Spinach enchilada and the shrimp one. Both have a white cheese sauce & are amazing. Not authentic mexican, but really good. The chips were really fresh, the mild salsa is really good, the spicey one is awesome if you can handle heat. I honestly dislike Tampicos as they make everything super spicy. The spice ensures you don't think the rest of the meal is just generic. And it is. Real mexican food isn't blazingly hot. ;) read more

We were in town for a day trip, looking for a lunch spot, and this place was a block away. Decided to give it a try based on the Yelp reviews, and glad we did. Very, very unassuming place. I don't think I've ever been around a waiter who said less than ours. He was very friendly, but just as quiet. The food came so fast that I was reminded of the scene from "Defending Your Life," where Albert Brooks' character is in the diner in Judgement City and his food arrives seconds after he places the order. As others have mentioned, it's not the Americanized Mexican food that you find at so many places these days. Very good authentic food. We'll certainly return if/when we're back in the area. read more

loved the queso!! best i've ever had food was pretty good but the wait for the food took a bit otherwise really like this place will be going back read more

My best bet for Mexican in Leavenworth. Family cooking. Ask for the "green salsa", unique and wonderful. Daily special is a bargin and delish! Excellent Chile Relleno. Try the fish tacos! read more

It is my wife's and I favorite Mexican restaurant near Fort Leavenworth. Food is delicious, service is fast, and price are great. Restaurant is family owned. Free chips and salsa per table, add melted cheese for an extra fee, you won't regret it. read more

I love this little place. The food is always freshly prepared, not cooked, held, and reheated like some Mexican restaurants I've been to. Their guacamole is outstanding. My favorite is the grilled Tilapia tacos, but I've ordered several different things and have been pleased with all. The owner is quite pleasant and cares about the customer. We were weekly customers of Tampicos, but we haven't been back since discovering this little gem. We enjoy the laid back atmosphere and attentive service. read more

The guacamole was fresh and well prepared. The fajitas were well seasoned and flavorful. The corn tortillas were good. The horchata may have been from a mix but had good consistency. The food is far more authentic than Tampicos; don't even bother going there if you know real Mexican food like me. read more

The place feels eerily quiet and empty. The portions are small and the food does not feel authentic. It is rather bland and presentation is lackluster. Service is hit and miss, never consistent. Overall I would say it is average at best. read more

Awesome Mexican food with great service. This has become our "go to" Mexican restaurant in Leavenworth. We visit every couple weeks. Don't be fooled by the location or exterior, the food is great. read more

Of all the Mexican food I've had in the Midwest, this is hands down the best. From the crunch of the chips to the sweetness of the sauce, you are welcomed by great food from your first step inside. With friendly servers and punctual cooks, you'll always have a good experience. From flautas to carnitas, the authentic flavor is unbeatable. read more

So I was kind of sketch about this place at first because I didn't expect it to be that great. The waiter wasn't very friendly and the food didn't taste authentic but it was still pretty good. The place is nice and clean. If you want authentic Mexican, don't come here. read more

Good stop for the Paleo eater visiting Leavenworth. Don't let the outside fool you...good eats are inside. Good fajitas & guacamole and very accommodating to modify side dishes. read more

The food is amazing, this is the closest place one will get to having authentic Mexican food. Portions are perfect for the price, the food is fresh and made with love. The restaurant is clean, safe and friendly. A great place to take family or have a date night (you can actually have a conversation with the person you are with). Highly recommend to the whole family. read more

Friendly and attentive service, serviceable alcoholic drinks; the place itself is something of a dump which is fine.....if the food is good....which it's not. This place has nothing on the menu to distinguish it from other local options except for some pretty tasty horchata. IMHO, Cafe Agave is a better option 9 times out of 10. read more

Not big on the sauce that came on my Chimichanga (White melted cheese sauce). Could've come with more rice and beans. Over all food tasted pretty good. The spicy salsa was ok. read more

Decided to try this spot out for lunch and tried the tamale plate. Was pretty good food, fast and friendly service. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place to eat that isn't from Leavenworth. read more

Finally stopped here to eat lunch since it has been reopened. The waitress was a bit cold but she did fine serving the food. My big complaint is my chili Rellenos....I love them....I order them every Mexican restaurant I go to.....cheese stuffed! Well the one here certainly had enough cheese but it was like eating a block of luck warm cheese. I prefer my cheese inside to be gooey and melting. If it wasn't for that I would have given a higher rating. read more

Good food, alright service but I would go again. The only thing me and my husband had a problem with was, when it was time to pay for our check we paid with our debit card. As he proceeds to give us our receipt it was $30.27 and my card and went through and said they charged us an extra six dollars. So I would double check your card just in case. Next time we go we will be paying with cash. read more

Small and quaint but delicious food always cooked just the way I like it. The waitress and cook always recognize us. Small town feeling you can't get at bigger restaurants. We even are using then to cater an event for us. read more
