    Here's the thing. Foods good and the prices are cheap EXCEPT beer. I was charged 8$ per and I should've asked before I ordered. I swear it was 6$ per when I was there two weeks prior, and the thing is they're no listed prices. I got two beers and a burrito for about $24 last time so that's close to 6$ per beer. menu says all prices subject to change so, understandable. I feel like I got ripped cause I came alone but maybe that's just the new price. I can't imagine other people are paying that

    Torta
    Josh W.

    This place is a gem. So unassuming from the outside, this place is a secret that I wish I had known about earlier. Extremely affordable with a massive menu and even bigger portions. The torta and the burrito were both spectacular and after tax/tip less than Chipotle for a sit down meal. Everything looked great and I will be returning soon! Service also phenomenal w really nice people and the food came out in only a few minutes.

    had such a great experience with both Isabel and avela! great service and such kind ladies!

    Mexican omelette
    Leemor Y.

    I wanted to like this place more than I did, since I had heard really great things. Came here with a couple friends and ordered takeout. Started off with some carrot jugo and papaya shake and they were both very good and reasonably priced (4.5/5). We then got the Mexican omelette (3.5/5) and shrimps in spicy sauce (3.6/5). The Mexican omelette was pretty average, and the shrimps platter came with 6-7 big shrimps and the rest was beans/rice/salad. The portions were quite large though. I would be down to come back to try the huaraches or tortas to see if it's any better.

    Chicken tacos. Amazing and only $6.50!

    Amazing eats for dirt cheap? Yes, please! Acapulco is your typical local hole-in-the-wall joint with food so good you don't care about the scenery. I came here 3+ times on my four day business trip because my colleague and I couldn't get enough of the amazing tacos here. I had the chicken, then the steak, and then the chicken again, because it was delicious enough to repeat the same meal three times in a row. Tacos were authentic (I.e. - corn tortillas instead of flour), super filling, and super affordable - I was amazed that I only spent $6.50 for a made-to-order lunch in Greenpoint. Definitely a recommended stop to get real Mexican food - they have an extensive menu, and although I didn't try much besides the tacos, I'm sure if the rest of the menu tastes anything like them, you won't be disappointed!

    This place is always a treat. Friendly staff and a good selection of dishes. I'm very glad they've survived this pandemic and have reopened!! The prices online are old so make sure you look at the newer pictures I've posted. I'll post more now that they are up and running again so things are current. If you have a chance to stop in do.... always a good positive atmosphere and food. What more can you ask!?

    Everything was absolutely delicious! We ordered for pick-up and it was ready in about 15 minutes. Walking in, we just knew it was gonna be great! We ordered: Shrimp Burrito, Shrimp Fajita (comes with guacamole and tortillas), Chips and Guacamole, and House Salad. While waiting to process the payment, we caught a few minutes of a show playing on Univision. The food smelled so amazing and very flavorful. The burrito had broccoli and carrots which was unexpected but delicious. We ordered a bit too much for two people but I look forward to the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. I highly recommend Acapulco! Note: The guacamole was surprisingly spicy but so good!

    Excellent Mexican restaurant with large portions and affordable prices. I don't know if they offer margaritas, I only saw cooler drinks including several varieties of Mexican beer. We split a side of guacamole with chips among 3 of us and each ordered an entree. We got so much of everything that we took some of the guac home, and each took half of our entrees home too! I ordered the chorizo huarache which was delicious and a huge portion too. Highly recommend for a filling, delicious, and affordable meal!

    It's hard to find legit Mexican food. I'm lucky I'm in Bushwick and there's a couple good spots. But a friend told me about Acapulco and I knew I had to try it. The place looks like a deli from the outside corner spot. The set up is like an old school diner, there's a counter and a couple tables and chairs. There are certain time the counter is the best and it's diners, cocktail spots, dive bars and this little spot. There's a couple seats and one had my name on it. I sat next to a definite regular who was chowing down on his meat salad, all elbows! I had to watch out. The menu was huge. The burritos looked more huge. I didn't want a big burrito belly but didn't see veggie tacos. The waitress was super accommodating and did a rice and bean combo with avocado for veggie tacos. Perfect! My dish arrived with double tortilla tacos that were stuffed and a side of spicy salsa and some chopped up lettuce and tomatoes. It tasted just like my mom's beans and rice. It was super filing and just wanted I wanted for the price of $7. Also I only trust Mexican restaurants if they have a Virgen de Guadalupe statue which Acapulco does. Check! Great place to keep in mind if attending shows at St.Vitus! Or if you spent all your money drinking cocktails at Milk & Roses but still need to eat....ahem...

Everyone that works there is super attentive and for how busy they are they always make sure to check up on your table. Their tacos are extremely delicious, they don't hold back with make sure each taco is full of any kind of meat that you get! Full of flavor and just looking at them reminds you why they're the best. Some other notable things that you should get is the quesadillas and the nachos they have. I'll have to keep coming back to try other things. Great place for sporting events as well as I was here with a group to watch Brazil vs Morocco and stayed to watch the Knicks win right after and become champions!

This neighborhood gem offers an industrialized minimalist form of decor with pops of color and art. Cozy but roomy, the bar area had mostly 2 seater tables and a few with high chairs. We recently went for a birthday brunch. Restaurant Week was still in effect but we decided to choose from the regular brunch menu. Place was low key and giving neighborhood vibes. The service was 10 STARS! Our waitress was extremely attentive and kind. We were also checked on by a second staff member who I think may have been a manager but cannot be certain. We started with cocktails and they serve chips and salsa gratis. I had the Jalapeno and Hibiscus Margarita and my friend ordered the Pepper Margarita with Strawberry and Chipotle. Mine was a bit on the sweet side without a hint of tequila. My friend's drink definitely was the better of the two. Not overly sweet and definitely a flavor of tequila was present. We also ordered a guacamole. I must say it was quite small and barely served 2 people. I suggest if more than 2 guests are part of the experience, order more than one. For my entree, I requested a market salad and 2 veggie tacos with a side of birria consume. Salad was very fresh and I am sure was made to order as opposed to premade a week prior and waiting in a fridge to be served. My tacos were average but satisfying. The consume was a bit disappointing as it was more of a water/broth based and not of a typical gravy consistency. It was not exciting. My friend's entree was the highlight of the experience. She had the brisket quesadilla. Never have I seen a quesadilla with a crispy outside such as this. A culinary masterpiece indeed. She consumed it all and not one complaint afterward. Delish. We did receive a complimentary Churro plate for the birthday celebration. They were drizzled with caramel and berries. Served warm, they were a dream for the palate. I did use the bathroom which was a single stall. It was clean enough but not well lit. The biggest downfall of my experience was the temperature of the restaurant. I understand it is summer, however, there was no A/C and the inside was extremely hot. I sweated through my entire experience. Even the bathroom felt like 100 degrees. We did not complain but our waitress noticed and brough a fan out to circulate the air. They do have ceiling fans but honestly I did not feel them. The management/owner should consider more temperature control methods during the hotter months as it was quite uncomfortable. To sum it up, I thought this experience was mostly positive and would patronize it again.

Most of all, what I really appreciated with every bite is that I wanted more and that it was so unique compared to anything else that I had ever tried. I thought the tasting menu was a really good deal, but you should also consider booking just a la carte because everything was so solid. You can tell when the chips served alongside the guacamole are so delicious and so unique that the rest of the meal is going to be incredible. I will say that it did seem slightly understaffed. Our waiters did the best they could, but dinner took longer than expected. It was still a great experience for both those on dates and those there with friends!

I loved all the sauces that they give to each table that I couldn't decide which one I liked more. The drinks were very good as well. We got the deconstructed margarita and I really enjoyed it as well as the pina colada cocktail. Service was a bit on the slower side but to be fair, there weren't many people working the tables. Also one of our dishes got served to the wrong table and then never came :( definitely wanna come back to try the tuna tartare which was the dish that didn't get delivered.
