I've been going here since I was a child and have loved this restaurant, but had an extremely disappointing experience of Mother's Day. They severely overbooked their reservations. We checked in on time. 30 minutes after our reservation time, I asked where we were in the queue and was told my party was next. 10 minutes later they call two different parties. I asked again what happened and they said, "well people just checked in for their reservation for a few hours ago so they go first " It doesn't make a lot of sense to put someone high in the queue when they miss their reservation time by over an hour. I asked to cancel our reservation and the hostess was thrilled. It was absolutely corporate greed to overbook their reservations. It was horrible customer service to be completely unapologetic for the situation they caused. read more

Sunday buffet. Lots of variety. Something for everyone server was friendly and attentive . Some of the items I tasted were Menudo, Chile relleno,waffles, They also had a taco bar and somebody was making eggs and omelettes, and when you were finished if you had a room for dessert and I didn't even cover everything on the buffet, definitely worth it read more

I can't believe Acapulco is closing. Came with my family for old time's sake. We started to eat here for the kids eat free on Tuesdays deal all the time! I ordered the shrimp and skirt steak to relive the nostalgia of the kid's fajita meal and it was great. The servers are the best here and brought us so many rounds of chips. Their plans to close have brought more patrons back in, but I overheard that they will stay open for another couple months at most. Hopefully they can stay open for longer!!! read more

We came here for a late lunch to a almost empty resturant. No host to be seen so after a few minutes we self sat ourself at the bar. A little pricey for a $100 lunch with 2 drinks, one being a Mocktal and a $10 deep fried icecream. We each ordered different taco plates that came with rice and beans. We enjoyed the tacos. They added a service charge as part of our bill. If you are celebrating a birthday they do not sing to you or offer dessert on the house. read more

A. is located right off the freeway and has an ample lot. Seems like this and similar restaurants such as El Torito (ET) are just not as popular with younger crowds. You can get better and cheaper food from local taco joints and trucks, but both A. & ET are still a nice sit down experience for a friends and family, business, or special occasion meal. Service was friendly and mostly efficient. They did check on us 1-2 xs. However, as at many places for most of our visit our server was working too hard covering too many tables despite the place not being that crowded. We went for happy hour and ordered off of that menu. Their happy hour is a good deal if u do not order too much. We got a $4 margarita, potato chorizo tacos (2), chicken taquitos (4), and guac for the free chips. They have Pepsi products rather than Coke, so auto minus one star for our taste--we like our Diet Coke esp. w/ Mexican-Hispanic foods. It was super dead and quiet on a Sun night around 5:00. The overall quality and experience was better than ET. ET in Pasadena-Arcadia makes u feel a little uncomfortable and the happy hour items are not bad, but A. has better quality. We would come back here again and would definitely recommend giving them a try for happy hour or a meal. read more

My buddy chose Acapulco for his birthday dinner so we made reservations which was easy. The service was good although it could be better. It did take a while for the server to bring plates and utensils to our table. I didn't see a manager coming around greeting each table which would be ideal since the servers are busy with other customers. read more

Came here recently for a their beloved Margarita Monday, which is a must for any Monday when in the Glendale area! The service here is always so friendly and while it can be on the slower side, I'm appreciative that they let us hang out with friends for hours to catch up! I love their outdoor patio, especially on a warmer night! It's spacious and has ample and comfortable seating! I also like how it's fenced in from the parking lot, keeping it feeling like a separate space! As far as the margaritas go, they are cheap and depending on the bartender, can be weak or strong! There's never been a time where I've gotten drunk from having 4, more just a sugar rush! Regardless, they're still fun, indulgent and come in great fruity flavors! My favorites are the mango and coconut blended margaritas, only a few dollars each! Unfortunately, as a vegan, there's not really much options for me but they do continuously bring out refills of complementary chips and salsa. These are fresh and tasty and necessary to have with any margarita! The restaurant is very clean and well maintained both inside and outside and has a fun and festive vibe to it! Their giant free parking lot and proximity to the freeway makes it so convenient! read more

We went there today with a party of nine for my brother's and my moms's birthday. Our server was extremely rude and unfriendly. He didn't ask what kind of tortillas I wanted for my fajita, he skipped my son when taking our drink orders and he didn't bring the shot of Grand Marnier that came with my margarita. We asked for a different server and the manager was great, he gave us a new server without delay. Our new server was great, friendly and attentive. After this we had a good experience. My daughter ordered a pizza from the kids menu and it was not what we expected. read more

We ate at a Mexican buffet today and absolutely loved it. There were so many options to choose from everything from fresh salads to pozole and a great dessert selection. The drink options were just as good: orange juice, horchata, and piña agua fresca. Everything we tried was delicious. The staff was super friendly and very attentive. We walked in and were seated right away, which was a great start. The ambiance really stood out.There was live mariachi music, which gave the place a fun, authentic, and lively vibe. Overall, a great experience and definitely a spot we'd come back to. read more

It's been a long time for what ever reason. Nice to be back. It's always a good sign seeing a couple of the long term regular employees. The place is festive with nice music and the dining room is festive in it's coloring! I had a three item combo, it was good, the shredded beef taco was actually small chunks of beef and seemed "fatty" the Chile relleno and chicken taco were both good. We also ordered Carnitas which was always a favorite here. It was an ample portion and happily very lean, it was good. Service was ok, the great part was seeing long term busser/friend Alex! What a friendly great guy! We'll be back. read more

Was not expecting such a long wait during Mother's Day, we came here since it was walking distance and enjoy in a chill environment. But the wait time was an hour or a little more as we kept hoping we'll be next. Talking to other patrons as we waited, we were a bit surprised to learn the establishment will be torn down for a two story car wash. After this experience, they seem unorganized and a bit disarray, we're unsure we'll be returning. read more

I got my seafood trio order to-go. Was very appreciative of how carefully it was packed. With cellophane wrapping not just on the food container but also the sauce. It kept the food warm until I got to my destination. Thumbs up on taste, and portion was big enough for two. Would recommend this over the dry steak that I got last time. Cashier and manager were really nice and accommodating on a Wednesday evening. I don't live near this area but the happy hour menu makes me want to come back for some drinks in the near future. read more

I highly recommend coming to Acapulco!! Their happy hour prices are amazing and it's every day from 3pm-8pm!! I love getting their chicken quesadilla because it's filling for one person and it's super cheap. Service here is a plus.

It's been almost 20 years since I've been to an Acapulco, and nothing has really changed. Service was great, food and drinks were fine. Portions are really big and it's a decent value. The place is comfortable enough, if a little old. Biggest complaint is how incredibly salty the food was. It will keep me from coming back. read more

I have been coming to Acapulco in Glendale for over twenty years. They have always provided excellent service, delicious food, and a festive ambiance. The value is good and they really treat customers as friends. This is one of very few restaurants that still give patrons a free entree on birthdays, if you are a member of their rewards program. So, sign up and make the value even better. read more

This is my spot to start the weekends right! After a long work week, you can't go wrong with Acapulcos happy hour! The vibes are always on point and perfect to start your date night!

While we were visiting friends nearby itcwas decided we should dinner at this establishment, as it was close to our hotel and right off the highway. Once there, our party of five made reservations; it was about a 20 minute wait. No problem; they had seating inside. A family member and I sat outside. The outdoor bar area had a TV running the seats were comfortable as well, as it was a nice night out, so why not? When we got to our table, we ordered our food. They had a Burrito - Gigante, and I choose the Asada Burrito. Desert came in the form of an order of Deep Fried Ice Cream, which was a delight. Our server for the evening was Paco C; and although he was attentive, it seemed like he was one of the only servers out there, short staffed? Maybe. The place is great for larger groups, as well as smaller ones. read more

Valerie was amazing! Really good set up during brunch with live music and an extensive buffet. Also nice happy hours!

Fun, nostalgic vibe! Service was great, the food was brought out within minutes. We really enjoyed their tacos, as well as fajitas, the chips and salsa were tasty and so were the margaritas. Large restaurant with plenty of seating, great vibe, generous portions, and a good variety on their menu. Great option if you are looking for a no-frills fun family meal, ideal for large parties as well! read more

This used to be my families go to restaurant the entire time i was growing up and I have so many memories there. So the other day when my fam and I were trying to think of somewhere to go for an early dinner we decided to have a little nostalgic moment. Unfortunately it was nothing like we remembered! The ambiance was fine and familiar so no complaints there. The issues started occurring with service. We had actually planned on having happy hour, but when we tried to order the waiter said we could only order from that menu in the section next to us and down the stairs. I was with my 95 yr old and 84 yr old grandmas that have a hard time walking so I wasnt going to make them get up and move after we finally had been seated and situated. I just was a little peeved that they wouldn't first ask before seating us or allow an exception since we didnt know and were only one of two tables seated in that section. The food took a really long time, about 30 mins after we ordered it and the waiter kept leaving trash and plates that we had moved to the edge of the table so it started piling up a bit. The food was also less than subpar. Two of us got enchiladas and they were so dried out and crunchy and I couldnt even eat some parts, with barely any sauce at all. The crunchy taco was greasy and soft, fell apart easily. The tostada wasnt great either, barely any dressing or lettuce and mostly refried beans. We left underwhelmed and disappointed. There's nothing worse than spending money on a meal that isnt satisfying. read more

Service and food were great. We had the Mother's Day buffet. Sad this place is closing tomorrow :(

It's a amazing homy place and the food and service is so great. We don't need some stupid car wash. And 2 story come on not necessarily needed. Whoever is doing this is STUPID. The business is always busy and nice place to be. Please stay open. read more

I don't know how this place is still in business. This had to be some of the worst over priced Mexican food in Glendale. If you're just going for margaritas it's great but skip the food. The waiters are pushy and unaware of their guest. If you're just looking for a margarita and chips it's cool but nothing else. read more

Took my family for Sunday Brunch. We were greeted immediately by the very friendly hostess and seated right away. Our server welcomed us and took our drink orders. He checked on us the entire time we were there and cleared our plates constantly and made sure to check if we needed beverage refills. There were a lot of options and I did notice staff walking around and checking that all the food items were presentable and the areas were tidy and clean. I would come back again and try the $6 drinks, but if you're not a drinker, the abuelita hot chocolate is yummy! read more

Came here for our first brunch of 2026 last Sunday with the friend group - and usually always have a great time at Acapulco. This time was no exception - we were promptly seated, and we all did the bottomless mimosa brunch (everything is included in one price). I wanted to give a special shout out to our server Valerie - she was super attentive and checking in on us to ensure we had refills (Always a plus when there's mimosas involved, ha) and that our plates were cleared at all times. Not only that - she was super good energy and made us laugh with good conversation throughout. Foodwise - you have your typical Mexican brunch items (chilaquiles, enchiladas, pozole, menudo, etc.) - and a kids section as well for those that have children. Some of the items that were sitting out of course weren't as fresh as could be - but that's typically every buffet style. The taco station was the best part, the meat and tortillas were super fresh (asada, carnitas, chicken is what I had) -- with a separate toppings station to customize how you want. I was too full for dessert - but they had flan, Jello, and other options. Entertainment - they have a Mariachi band that goes around singing and playing their instruments. We didn't have them come directly to our table, but it was nice feeling the authentic music vibes while eating and socializing. Overall, it was a great time to have fun, catch up, and eat a decent brunch. I recommend. If possible, ask for Valerie! read more
