Stopped in Friday for dinner, a little earlyish so it wasn't busy. My server was friendly and attentive. Unfortunately so that I didn't have a chance to tell her I was ready for a box and the bill before she brought me another coke. I like how bright and spacious the restaurant is. Thanks for the delicious meal and friendly service. read more

Ordered my usual, Fajitas with beef. My son ordered the exact same thing. His portions were much better than my blobs of guac, sour cream, mushed together thrown onto my plate. Flavor was so-so. Once served our food, we were left alone. Had to flag down staff for a container and check! Seems like things here keep slipping away and not returning like a few years back. Plan to go elsewhere moving forward. read more

Very friendly staff - Nevaeh & Tiffany. Great birria tacos, and a margarita. Looking forward to trying more off the menu.

Ample bar seating and dining room seating! Authentic decor! And just such a nice Mexican Restaurant ! Ample parking great Andover location! Tvs for those looking to watch a game. Fan for life! read more

I've ordered takeout a couple of times from Acapulco, so I can't speak on the service or atmosphere of the restaurant. Delivery does take a while (sometimes up to an hour). The food is pretty standard to slightly above average Tex-Mex. The serving sizes are very big. I get at least two meals out of an entree. The star of the show and a must order every time is the queso. I've never had anything like it before - it's so good and worth the high price tag. read more

Food is "meh" for me but service was mostly attentive until it was time to clear dishes and then they just kept piling up as we ordered dessert and had to ask someone to take them. Value of the meal for the price is pretty good. The food didn't really stand out and there is better Mexican food around. Positives: -Good sized portions -Refills on chips and salsa (small bowl for 3 people) if you ask -Consistent service until the end of the meal -Bathrooms were clean -Lots of parking -Decent value, though comparing to cost of eating out in CA, prices were very reasonable for chain restaurant type food Negative: -Soggy and luke warm sweet potato fries -Bland food -Cadillac margarita didn't seem to have much (or any) Grand Marnier -Refills on soda Overall, it was a much appreciated night away from the campground but don't think we would return based on this meal. There are other choices. read more

Flavors were good, portions were very generous. If you order through Uber eats they usually have b1g1 deals, which is how I found this place. Highly recommend. Came with free side of chips and salsa, just need hot sauce. read more

I have eaten here twice and both times My food wasn't very warm. The most recent experience we tried a variety of items with two of our littles and myself having upset stomachs. fajitas, burritos and enchiladas alongs with chips queso and drinks were the nights menu It may just be the Blaine location but I am pretty tough on Mexican food since moving from California. Anytime people rave about the queso I know we are talking a different language! read more

They have a great building and location, sometimes food and service slips a little bit. Chips and queso are always excellent. House margarita is good. Usually the Fajita Burrito is my go to, never used to let me down, this time, not so great. The shrimp tasted like it was cooked and re-warmed, that will definitely be the last time I get shrimp here. Overall, the experience here is good, but can slip from time to time. read more

Great food in satisfying portions & Super attentive staff. Atmosphere great with much in unique decor plus an inviting bar area. Lunch menu had many options all reasonably priced read more

Average Americanized Mexican food - 3 stars. Acapulco is like the Perkins of Mexican restaurants. No Horchata, no mango drink, no lime drink, no Jarritos soda, no interesting Mexican meat selections, and no hot sauces or condiments. Plenty of iceberg lettuce and mayo. You get the idea. The best thing I can say is the food comes out fast n' hot and it doesn't cost very much. And the bar is huge and pretty cool looking. But my food came out in the wrong order and they completely forgot my order of cheese dip. I finally got it though. By the way, "Our Famous Cheese Sauce" is just standard melted queso blanco - nothing special at all. I joked with my server (a very nice Mexican woman): I guess I need to have dinner at her house to get some authentic Mexican food. She didn't get it. Oh, well. But I'm sure I'm right. This was about what I expected. The Andover location is much more organized than the Ramsey location. I don't hate it and I don't love it. I won't be visiting this location again.

I placed a pick up order and had a coupon for a free cheese sauce. When I got to the restaurant, they told me that the coupon could not be used as it was fraudulent... I've use this coupon several times in the past with no question over the last few years, which is the reason I continue to come back to this location. Now, instead of honoring it, they're telling me no, but it's still remains on the site. Very disappointing. read more

Phenomenal queso, which is what they've always been known for... but holy cow, the wet burrito with shredded beef and cheese sauce on top is also ridiculously good. Definitely a good spot to make a stop if you're craving Mexican food. read more

Never had a bad visit at any Acapulco. Andover location is usual meeting spot for after-hours co-worker "bonding". Great food and drinks. *They also were very accommodating to our group of 15 tonight. Waitress was very attentive to whenever a new person joined the table...to take beverage and food orders. Got all food orders and billing tabs correct! read more

Loved our time and meal here. The service was fast and friendly. The portion sizes were generous. There were plentiful free chips and salsa.

Absolutely atrocious customer service. Ordered a to go order. Was told it would be 45 minutes. 45 minutes came and went. Was told multiple times it was almost ready and the food never came. After waiting for more than an hour from when it was supposed to be ready, I was once again told just a few more minutes. When I challenged her on what a few more minutes meant, she said probably another half hour. I walked out and cancelled my order. Normally love this place but this really burned a bridge. read more

The traditional tacos are DELICIOUS. Whatever this places does for shredded chicken in their wet burritos, they need to stop. That stuff is quite possibly the worst chicken concoction on earth. Absolute terrible shredded chicken garbage....that's where it went. Pulled that burrito apart and threw the chicken in the garbage. Ordered one with steak in the burrito and it was good. Never thought a place could ruin chicken. Not many options for this cuisine in the northwest metro, this place is descent. Order those bomb tacos!! read more

The worst food I have ever eaten. I wouldn't wish this on a starving person. Truly disgusting!

We ended up here because the original place was full of Viqueen and Packer fans. It was not a disappointment. We were seated quickly. The decor is your traditional Americanized Mexican restaurant. Tables were clean but we had to put a rolled up napkin under one of legs to even it out. They brought us some warm chips, salsa and Queso cheese. The salsa was really good. Better than most restaurants I've been to. There was 4 of us so we ran out quickly. They were quick to bring us more chips. My fiancé and I shared the wet burrito. Large portion with amazing chipotle sauce. The only negative was the chicken was really dry. I had a single chicken taco. It was meh. Nothing special, it to was made with the same dry chicken. Over all it was good. Not amazing or mind blowing. read more

Well this was a waste of 45 mins. My g/f, her daughter and I came in on 10/9....horrible is stating it nicely. The burritos that my g/f & her daughter ordered came out incorrect. They asked for some ingredients to be removed, none were. My fajitas came out looking like they were sitting for a while (no sizzle) & the flour tortillas were burnt & rock hard and would not come apart. They did offer to remake everything, but after this was our 2nd choice for food for the night & we said nope, we're out. I would really give this 0 stars is possible. read more

Horrible.salt way tooo much salt.steak taste like no name it was soft and mushy.salt in the beans,on the meat how hard is it to taste the food.this place is American Mexican.food boring and flat so lifeless.its sad to think people really think it's true Mexican food like taco read more

Acapulco is consistently awesome. The Andover location is new, spacious and a great atmosphere to eat lunch or dinner. The food is always hot and comes quick no matter what you get. The tall beer is extra tall and is extremely cold making it some of the best beer on tap in town. Chips and salsa always come out right away which is well complicated with cheese dip. Little hint for everyone, order a large cheese dip and you can get a lid to go to bring it home. Leftovers always heat up well including the dip which goes well with chips at home. If you want some great Mexican food, you can't go wrong at Acapulco. I have been to several locations and they are all consistently excellent. read more

Acapulco Mexican Restaurant - Cheese Enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Andover, Minnesota

On Cinco De Mayo, I went to the KDWB Star Party ticket blast with Raven and this was such a wonderful event to attend! I can confidently say I had a good first experience with Acapulco. Although I did not dine in like one typically would, it was definitely a fun event that Acapulco hosted! I was dying to win tickets, and getting to celebrate Cinco De Mayo with the Coon Rapids community on top of that, was such a good time! We danced & drank, & danced & drank some more in a little tent set up in the Acapulco parking lot. KDWB brought the beats, and Acapulco provided a taco bar and little bar off to the side. Before I knew it, it was bumpin'. Kids, college students, and older folks alike...everyone was out to get down. I saw so many people bust a move while enjoying the food and drinks that were available. I did not try the tacos however, I couldn't pass up a drink on Cinco De Mayo. I purchased a beer and margarita for $10 which wasn't too bad of a price for two drinks. I was expecting that they were going to charge us a sky high amount, but that was not the case. I was also expecting that my drink was going to be average at best given the fact that the bar was a little makeshift bar outside, but boy was I wrong. The margarita was one of the best I've had in a long time. The perfect mixture of booze and goodness that made me tempted to buy 3 more, but being that I had work the next day, I was responsible. The bartender clearly knew her craft and delivered a tasty drink. I really liked the activities they had for both kids and adults. There were picture cutouts to take photos with, face painting, and prize giveaways/competitions. There were sweet candy suckers on the tables and free bead necklaces as well. There was something for everyone. The taco lady right outside of the tent was a nice touch to the Cinco de Mayo celebration. I obviously had to take a photo with her since she was depicting one of my favorite foods. I told her I should've worn a burrito costume, but I didn't get the memo. Thank you to KDWB and Acapulco for putting on such a great event for everyone to partake in! read more

There is a reason this has become a Northwest Suburban Favorite. The service has been excellent every time we go. Not a fan of their house salsa but chips and salsa are a staple must have. So we always order a bowl or two of the cheese dip. The food is very good with generous portions. Used to be a whole lot cheaper but they had to move to a larger space and they opened a second location to feed the masses and I suppose the price was bound to reflect their new reputation. read more

Excellent restaurant! The chimichangas are very tasty, the homemade refried beans are so good, and the cheese sauce makes it even better. The service was fast and very friendly. They also have very generous portions! read more

This place just might become my go-to Mexican restaurant, since the food, decor, and atmosphere was really awesome. When we got there not only did we not have to wait long, but the server was really friendly, and answered any questions that we might have concerning the ingredients of the various menu items. I have to say the free chips with salsa, was a bonus since it really filled us up. Of course not only were the portions huge, but I had enough for leftovers. I really enjoyed the quesadillas since it had been awhile since I had some good stuff in a restaurant setting. The food had a freshness taste to it that I found so refreshing. I can't wait to come back again. read more

So glad they made a family meal deal during the shutdowns! Such a great price for the amount of food you can get. Everyone loves the variety it comes with. read more

The Acapulco in Andover, MN is one of our favorites! It is one of our local go-to restaurants! Their private room is fantastic! We recently had our wedding rehearsal dinner here in their private room and it was perfect for the occasion! The room is very spacious- seated 40 very comfortably, is walled off with doors for complete privacy from the rest of the restaurant and connects to the new and awesome patio! And I didn't even yet mention their food! The food at Acapulco is AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! It is some of my favorite Mexican and at a really great affordable price! This location is relatively to new too and the decor is really cute- rustic/modern with a Mexican twist- nice atmosphere. Great place for a dinner, date night or private party/event! read more

I love this place for my local Mexican restaurant. I normally get the Yucatán chicken. The said part was the moved to a new store that was build. I know have to drive further but worth the drive.

Do not go to the Andover location. Service is non-existent. Sat at bar for over 10 minutes while one bartender stood looking around. Did not even look at the patrons at the bar. Stood in line to get names in. One person working the desk. HIs only duty was taking phone orders. Having people pay for take out orders. One other person ran to get rake out orders. Decide if going to be a takeout out place or restaurant. Cannot have one person doing both. This drive is 100% non-existing read more

This is a good, authentic Mexican restaurant owned by a local family with several locations across the Twin Cities. I have been to this location several times, and I am always happy with the food. The portions are good sized for the money, the staff are friendly, and those free chips and salsa will fill you up! They have a full bar, and have $3 beer specials for the most of the day. I have enjoyed a margarita or two as well, they are very good too! They usually have a lunch plate special (Tacos, burrito, enchiladas, etc.) with a choice of one or two items and beans and rice! The food is hot, fresh and made to order. You can add or subtract items from your order with no problems, and they really make an effort to get you what you want. The food comes out hot, fresh, and delicious! Whatever time of day you visit, there are usually many tables filled with people enjoying the food, drinks and company at Acapulco. They have a patio as well! Very good Mexican food with good service and reasonable prices! I am a fan! read more

Moved away five years and still miss this place. Would give anything to be able to recreate the five layer dip. This place is worth driving through Coon Rapids! read more

We went to Acapulco for lunch this week. I have been here over a dozen times and have never been disappointed. The service is excellent and the atmosphere has a nice Mexican flair. The food portions and taste are superb. We usually get the chicken creamed burrito (dinner size - which is two burrito's), so we can eat half and bring home the second burrito. They bring out complimentary warm chips and salsa for you and refill whenever it get's empty. The chips are thin and crispy and the salsa is wonderful. Not to hot and not to bland. Every trip brings us the same experience, great food and terrific fast service. We will be coming back. Oh, did I mention the prices. They are very reasonable. Overall, a great value. read more

Oh nom nom nom - mediocre Americanized Mexican food at its best. You go here for the chips and queso and taquitos. Oh, and margaritas the size of your head. Tequila! This location: great, parking is free and plentiful, and the restaurant is larger than expected. They have a really nice patio in the summer months, too. The food: portions are huge, so you can easily share an meal between two people, especially if you fill up on chips and salsa before you even order. My family really likes to come here, partially because of the location, and partially because of the chips and queso. They typically get our large group in quickly, but seem to lag in the 'getting out' part. It always seems to be slow to get your check and pay. Don't you want my money Acapulco? Did I mention they have really good queso? Who doesn't love cheese? read more

The chimichangas are what I always get, and acapulco has some great ones. I recommend the chicken. They have a tasty cheesy sauce that they put on top. The only thing is, the rice they give you on the platter is tasteless and has corn in it, which I don't like. The chips are really tasty though, and they serve pepsi products, which means you can get mt dew with your lunch! read more

This is my favorite Mexican food place. Every I eat here, wither it's with my wife or a group of friends, we have a good experience. Fast service and really good food. I have gone to other Acapulco restaurants and they haven't had service like this location. I recommend eating here Tuesday-Thursday if you don't like eating in a packed restaurant. This place gets booming busy all weekend long, and on Monday night, because of their delicious $1 taco night. Free chips and salsa to share with every visit. I strongly recommend getting the queso (cheese sauce) with the chips, the queso costs like a buck, but it is so worth it! AWESOME atmosphere, and elegant decretive theme. Bring the friends, bring the family. You will have a good time. Enjoy! read more
