Not as bad as some reviews show. Not going to be the best you've had but good enough based on this first visit and trying beef nachos. Salsa is awesome. Chips are good. The beef had good flavor. Refried beans were ok. Service was nice and pleasant. read more

We went because my friend works at their Cantina which is separate from the restaurant but you can order food in the cantina from the restaurant too. The service was good my friend who was our server and the bartender was actually busy but she did a great job still. The food will it wasn't like wow nah it tasted like it was left over food from the night before and just re heated. The place felt dark it's a small cantina so it didn't have room for too many people. We were not too thrilled about the food. read more

The pozole was a disappointment. Especially at 16$. The side veggies etc seemed not fresh and the broth was weak. I should have gone to casa Añejo. read more

Very good! I'm not sure why this place has three stars but it's super good, with good service and delicious salsa. The wait staff were very friendly. Selena was so nice. It's colorful inside- little hole-in-the-wall amazing! We recently moved here from California so we know good Mexican food. read more

Acapulco Mexican Restaurant - Tricolor enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Caldwell, Idaho

Do not eat here. We brought our family here and most of us got terrible food poisoning, including our nephew who had to be taken to urgent care. On top of that, when we left we saw that there is a shady parking enforcement that boots cars in the parking lot and apparently hired by the restaurant owner as a source of income since their food and service is so terrible. Avoid at all costs read more

If this is the Acapulco restaurant located in Caldwell, you couldn't pay me to eat at your restaurant no matter how good your food is. Your business ethics are horrible!!! I watch a family pay $150 to have a boot removed from their tire last night because they parked in your parking lot and eat dinner in your restaurant but walked over and looked at the Christmas lights before coming in and eating. What a scam!! They showed the man the receipt and he said they weren't allowed to go look at the lights first even if they came back and ate there. Again what a scam!! $150 is an outrageous charge and they were held hostage because they had to pay it or they could leave! I will be spreading this horrible story to as many people as I can and I hope those people do the same thing. A company that doesn't appreciate their customers as no business in our community!! read more

We tried this place for the first time in search of good authentic Mexican food.. well if that's what you are after I personally suggest somewhere else. The beans were plain, and runny. The burritos are tiny... and hardly have anything in them.. The rice tasted burnt We were told we couldn't order the soup, because it wasn't fresh enough? Uhh normally soups are made same day so that's concerning. Also I was very upset with the deep fried icecream. The icecream, and strawberry berries were freezer burnt and the "deep fried" part wasn't actually deep fried, the icecream was just covered in corn flakes.. it was disgusting. Worst $50 spent. read more

The food quality seems to have decreased in recent years, or my palate is getting more discerning, IDK. In any case this is not our "go to" Mexican place like it was during the pandemic. Sad. read more

I love this place! Family favorite!! Good prices and good food. Acapulco has been part of Caldwell for as long as I can remember.

Overall the food just wasn't great. We have been here many many times over the years. I am so sad. The food was way over done and just flavorless. The salsa was over sweet and nothing had salt. the meat in all of our dishes was tough and burnt. There was no one in there but us and the servers were so busy outside smoking that we didn't see them other than one time . overall just not a good experience. read more

I wanted to like this place because the owner is a nice person, but the chips were nasty. Tasted like they were cooked in old oil! Hard to enjoy the rest of the meal, but it was just okay. Restaurant was a tad empty for a Saturday afternoon. Sorry won't be back anytime soon. read more

went to get tacos instead, ate what tasted like rotting meat. our server was kind she looked like she was done with all the bs, smelt weird in there it was a very unpleasant experience. the meat was so disgusting i cant tell you how bad it was. shut this placd down its so gross read more

This food does not taste right. The "frijoles", aka refried beans were pasty white and NOT refried but left as whole beans. The server tried to tell me it's because they're really fresh. I was raised on real Mexican food by my Mexican grandmother and great grandmother. Their "fresh" beans never looked like this. I can abide most things, but not lying. The enchilada sauce tastes metallic which usually comes from using canned sauce. I won't bother asking about this as I'm likely to be told a story. The rice was okay. The whole plate came Luke warm. That's unusual for Mexican food also. It's usually piping hot. I will never be back and recommend this one gets a pass. There are better Mexican food restaurants here. read more

I hope Yelp updates the address that I sent them. This place is down the street a block or two from the original location. Food is good and the service is great, but it serves the same style of food you'd find at a lot of different places. Won't stop me from eating here again should I be in the area though. read more

I love this place. It has good food, great service and excellet margueritas! Everyone was so pleasant and I cannot say enough of about the service. Great place for lunch and dinner. read more

Had the carna isada burrito I cleaned my plate . Do I recommend. Yes in deed. The staff was perfect.

The tacos from the catering trailer were decent. The carne asada was tender but lacked any real flavor. The chicken kind of had a rubbery texture but was seasoned well. I really appreciated the garnish station out front with onions and cilantro. I'd say that $3/taco is pretty good if the tacos were prepared a bit better... although I do know that it's difficult to prepare that much chicken and hold it without it getting a tad rubbery. The guys working the trailer were super helpful and friendly. 5 star service.. 3 star tacos read more

Got it delivered by grub hub. The nachos were absolutely disgusting and disappointing.

My wife and I went to dinner here 3 weeks ago. Ordered off the menu and was very tasty especially the rice. Well we stopped in yesterday and decided to do the buffet . What a disappointment. Pretty much everything was just luke warm and never did have any tortillas available. You have to order your enchiladas on the buffet and we were wanting just cheese and they said it would be extra for cheese so we settled for the hamburger ones. We had to ask the waitress for refills and napkins and took about 10 minutes to do that. Was only 3 more couples there eating so not to busy but our waitress was running around like her pants were on fire. But of course the group that were drinking alcohol were getting waited on very well. Very disappointed and most likely won't go back. read more

Were gone from the parking lot for 5 minutes and came back to eat. Had a boot on our car. Got charged $150! we will never eat here and will be spreading the word!! read more

Do not patronize this business. The owner is in business with DJ's parking enforcement. I had the intent to eat at this place, so I parked in their lot. I ran to the Mexican bakery next to this business and returned to Acapulco about five minutes later. I started to enter the front door and looked over to my car and saw a wheel boot on it. A dude walked up to me and said I had to pay him $150 to get the boot off. He did't care that I was going to eat there, he said I had left the parking lot and that's all it took. The police were called and told me it was a ''cvivil thing'' and they could not get involved. My guess is this parking business shares their ill-gotten gains with the owner of the restaurant. I also wonder who makes more money in a day, the clowns booting cars or the restaurant owner. read more

We walked in at 345pm and there was no one around except this young man named Mathew who seated us before he was expected to clock in for work, he is awesome, needless to say he was worth read more

Once again, our group went to Caldwell to see The Christmas Lights and ended up at Alcapulco for Taco Tuesday. Megan took care of us again. Megan is an extraordinary person who can take care of a large crowd, never forgetting anything and always circling back around to see if we needed anything. And a,ways with a smile. We plan on coming back every year we can to visit Megan and Caldwell for Taco Tuesday and Christmas Lights. Thank you Megan read more

Super nice staff! Yummy guacamole Strong drinks! Great food! highly recommend the fajitas, enchiladas and Chile relleno! read more

The service was good but the food was terrible. Not fresh. Not hot. Tasteless. Shredded beef enchilada was overly salty. The soft taco shells were so greasy that they disintegrated in your hand when you took a bite. Won't be back. read more

Used to come here when it was in the upstairs of the other building. It was great then and years later it was exceptional still. The food was very good at a reasonable price and the Margarita's were also. I'll not hesitate to come back. read more

Very good. I had the Zopes and I was pleased. My wife had the fajita salad and she enjoyed it. Service was also good. East to find with easy parking. read more

We love this place! Our first stop when we come into town. Incredible food. Big portions. They give you bean dip and salsa for free. Love the cheese dip tho read more

Nice people, cute place. Unfortunately the food has much to be desired. The red sauce that was on our dinners tasted like someone dropped the salt shaker in it. I asked for lettuce on my burrito an got 2 tiny piece. I really wanted to like the place but don't think we will go back, sorry. read more

this is not real mexican food. they don't even have horchata. the chips were the best part.

Enjoyed our food. It was very good and well proportioned. Our waitress was very nice and did a decent job. It took a little time for her to check on us or bring drink refills.. read more

Living nearby, I finally tried Acapulco, near 1:PM one afternoon, not too many customers at the time. I kinda thought that there might be the remnants of a lunch crowd still in there at that time of day, but that was not the case; just a couple of other customers. Hmmmm ... The Good: The waitress was fairly attentive, perky, working hard, and friendly. The Bad: Although I was impressed by the waitress' work ethic, she didn't get the order right, even after asking a second time: "I'll have the chicken enchilada," I ordered. "Beef?" she asked. "No, chicken," I replied. So, what did I get? Beef. Annoying, but I didn't make a fuss. It's not worth the exertion. The meal, a combo plate, was just okay ... not great ... nothing to rave about ... not much different than what you might find at any other run-of-the-mill Mexican restaurant in these parts. The refried beans served on the plate were hardly identifiable as beans ... more like bean slush, not particularly tasty, and not very hot. Rice is difficult to screw-up. So, the rice was okay but it too could have been hotter. Also, with so few customers, I thought it took just a wee bit too long to serve the meal, but I was happily munching on tortilla chips in the meantime, which is how I came to notice "the ugly". The Ugly: This place is about two, maybe three years past a deep cleaning. The walls are discolored from, well, er um, something. Cooking oils? I dunno. The carpet was an ugly deep brown to begin with. Now, it is an ugly dirty deep brown, badly in need of a cleaning. Or, better yet, time to replace the carpet. I'm just sayin'. The fairly ornate, Mexican motif (for lack of a better way of describing it) paint job is dirty and worn, especially in high-traffic areas (near the cash register, for example). Although I asked twice, nobody seemed to know the password for the WiFi. "Try this." "Try that." "I'll ask so-n-so, maybe she knows." The WiFi is there, but it cannot be accessed without a password. Frustrating. I got the feeling that the "glory days" of Acapulco Mexican Restaurant are long gone and, alas, there is absolutely nothing compelling me to return. As Donald Trump would say, "Sad!" read more

The real deal. Modest ambience. Authentic Mexican food - great prices, lunch specials, full bar, friendly staff.

This is a very good Mexican place. I had chicken mole and it was awesome. Very authentic food!!!

My husband and I used to love to come here for their sampler. It was huge and came with a variety of tasty tidbits. The last few times we've frequented the establishment, we've found the sampler to be lacking. Now it mostly consists of reheated frozen foods. We will find a different place to eat Mexican food. read more

Since Acapulco moved up the street from their old spot, everything went to hell. Now it has turned into the standard Idaho Mexican food...over salted, no flavor, and no decent options. A part of my soul died in 2012 when they moved. read more

This place get 2 stars because the food was decent, but the service was a complete mess. We counted-- 3 servers, a hostess, a busboy, and a bartender-- and together they couldn't handle the 12 tables that were in the restaurant. We were there for 20 minutes before we even ordered our food and drinks, and there for 45 minutes before our food showed up. The place is not big and 3 servers couldn't handle it. No idea why. I could go on to be more specific about why service was so awful, but enough said. I wouldn't bother unless you're prepared to be patient. read more
