Acapulco Restaurant - Chicken Torta and Huaraches - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

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 read more

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. read more

Love this place. Love the service, the atmosphere, the portions. nachos, burrito, breakfasts. we get it all the time. dine in and take out.

Great affordable Mexican diner food for that after show at Vitus or for a cheap early morning breakfast! The chips and guac are mandatory, and the burritos are on point! Service is fast and friendly! read more

I live around the corner from here. Today I ordered off the online menu and went to pick up my food. They charged me a lot more than what was detailed in their online and print menu. When I asked about the pricing, the girl at the counter resisted at first explaining what the prices for each item was. She came off short and rude when I just needed clarification, because I was confused. It felt like I was scammed. I'm so tired of these local shops pulling scummy moves like this. It happens way too frequently in this city. The sandwich wasn't that great either. The chicken was tough and the sandwich was pretty dry. I will not be coming here again, and what a shame because I live in the neighborhood. read more

THIS PLACE IS A GODSEND and I'm going to tell you why. There are a lot of artists, fabricators, and small businesses located in the giant industrial building on the very top of Manhattan ave in greenpoint. It's situated so far north Acapulco was really the closest place to get a hearty meal. Open for breakfast lunch dinner and pre covid late night they serve delicious consistent food, no frills. Great classic diner vibes. They also offer classic western breakfast items for patrons who may want a traditional American breakfast but they also have Mexican breakfast options. At some point when I worked around there I probably went to Acapulco nearly every day. For the price of lunch I would walk out with dinner as well as leftovers- portions are mighty generous. So walk over to a fridge, grab a beer, let them give you a chilled little stein and decompress during a long day. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Acapulco Restaurant - Chicken tacos. Amazing and only $6.50! - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

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!? read more

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! read more

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! read more

basic Mexican food. Nothing great nothing bad. Fair price. $10 for a chicken burrito but think id try somewhere next time. Not much flavor, dry chicken read more

es difícil emitir una opinión de la comida allí ya que no aceptan sugerencias pedí un sándwich de pollo y el pollo estába muy incomible ya que las fibras estabam muy duras para no decir que parecía una goma, quise decir esa opinión y me salieron que tienen 30 años cocinando pollo y el pollo viene así, es verdad pollo es pollo y puede venir así. lo cual puedo decir que no fue fileteado de la forma correcta aparte que se tenía que pisar con el martillo de cocina para ablandar la textura del fileteado del poll, por esto no aceptaron la sugerencia y creo que se molestaron también. No iré más es un buen servicio pero cosas así como esta no ire más . read more

OHHH EMMMM GEEEEE This place is great! Tiny little hole in the wall, but the food is awesome, cheap, and the portions are huge! We had the steak/chicken fajitas and steak burrito.. both were unbelievable! Much better than any other Mexican food I've had in NYC.. reminds me of the good stuff I get in Texas! No liquor, but they do have beer.. for only $3-$4 each. This isn't the type of place you'd want to hang out getting crunk.. but there are plenty of spots nearby to throw back a few afterwards. Can't wait to come back and try the breakfast! read more

This is my third time reviewing this place and each time I've gone up a star. I love this place. I keep ordering from here. I love it. I love to get a steak burrito with guacamole that's big enough to easily feed myself and my partner. It's my go to takeout place. I recommend getting a burrito, The fruit shakes are made with fruit, milk, ice and sugar and I highly recommend them. I also like that this place has Andes Candies. read more

Tacos and burritos are available, bells and whistles aren't. This old-timey spot isn't trying to appeal to the cool kids. I got the burrito with the roast pork, which is either carnitas or close to it. It was a very good deal at $8.50 and the pico de gallo strategically interrupted the carbs. read more

Mom and pop store with great amount of food and one taco order was big enough. Was so good! read more

Absolutely horrible ! Dirty place ! Bad music! Ever worse drinks ! Avoid at any cost !

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... read more

Love the food been coming here since I was kid. Remember the Mariachi bands on the weekend. If you know you know. Neighborhood has changed a lot, glad that they're still here. read more

This place is so amazing. Such big portions, fair prices, and they have breakfast as well--Diner Style meets traditional Mexican restaurant cuisine. The guacamole is actually some of the best I've ever tasted, and the steak fajitas I got were so tasty and perfectly charred. Banana and mango shakes were fantastic and they refill your coffee if you ask them to. Great service and a true Greenpoint staple!! read more

Awesome, authentic & affordable spot in greenpoint. I have only been for breakfast, but would love to come back for dinner. Everything is very affordable (for NYC), omelettes for $7 (includes potatoes & toast). Besides the amazing prices the food is excellent. I had the bacon tomato & cheese omelette, my boyfriend had the huevos rancheros. Both were delicious. We also had fruit smoothies which were very fresh and tasty. We'll definitely be back! read more

Trekked all the way here on a Sunday afternoon from lower Manhattan and this old school Mexican diner definitely did not disappoint! My friend and I sat ourselves at one of the tables covered in a colorful table runner. They definitely add character to the diner. We ordered some chips and guac to start - a huge serving for only $6. The guac was perfectly balanced with red onion and cilantro flavors. I definitely need to upgrade my homemade guac after tasting this. Then came a huge serving of Pork Tostadas and Beef Tacos. Loved every bite of it. Corn shells were crispy, and meats were juicy and flavorfully seasoned. I love refried beans and sour cream, which they're really generous with too. Everything came out to be under $20. There's nothing to complain about this place. I'll definitely be back. read more

I decided to try a veggie burrito... the "Acapulco" Burrito. I thought a veggie burrito would be blah, but I was wrong... it was very good! It has squash, carrots, broccoli (I think it had broccoli) and of course rice, beans and Mexican cheese. Very tasty and filling. Big menu and they even serve herbal tea. I like the big, bright and clean luncheonette style atmosphere. Good service. Don't live near here but if I did, I'd probably be a regular. read more

The best tocos I've had in a very long time!!! Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed.

A solid neighborhood place with great food and no drama. Open early and late, extensive menu, serves an assortment of Mexican beers to boot. I like to eat in and feel the old school New York vibes. A keeper. read more

This place has great Mexican basics. My favorite menu items: Chicken quesadilla: comes with rice, salad and creme fresh, super thick with lots of chicken and cheese. Carnitas tacos: Fried Pork tacos comes with salsa verde, rice, and salad. Ranchero taco: Fried Beef and Huge chunks of farmers cheese, served with salsa verde, rice, and salad. Guacamole and chips the guac is basic and great, the chips are homemade. It's a great place to bring kids, the prices are very reasonable. read more

A neighborhood classic. Been a trusty and reliable place for a long as we've lived in Greenpoint almost 8 years now? Fajita plate, egg sandwiches, omelets, and lots of sides are our usual go to. Kindest staff. Worth adding to your list! read more

I live down the street and I go to this place at least once a week. The Chicken Milanesa Torta is top tier!

Overrated. Burritos are fine - with regular steak. Rice and beans not homemade. They were cold on my plate. I ordered sliced steak entree - thought it would be sliced pieces of carne Asada but it was more like thin cheesesteak meat put in oven to be crispy on top. Chicken quesadilla was just average. They do have a big brunch menu and crunch French toast sounded good. Over the bridge at the comedy club Mexican joint is better. read more

4 stars for that dependable enchilada! A couple of years ago I had a pretty bland plate of quesadillas and forever wrote off Acapulco from my food dictionary. Six months back, I decided to get over myself and give it another try (also I was starving and it was five steps in front of me) and I have never looked back! The steak enchiladas with green sauce and beef torta have been on point every single time! Massive portions, spice, flavor- hits the right buttons! Return? Yes! How did it take me so long? read more

Very tasty food for good prices! I had to write a review this is my second time ordering from this place and yet again I am super satisfied!! This time i ordered a steak quesadilla and the steak was seasoned perfectly ! tasted like Dominican seasoning !!!!!!!! I am a Mexican food fanatic ! I usually always order steak because its hard to have tasteless steak and I happen to believe some Mexican restaurants lack the way they season their chicken! Not Acapulco !!!! Love this place read more

I'm from the West Coast, soo Mexican food is something I am very used to. I had their steak tacos and breakfast burrito. And they were just okay. I think the place is a bit overrated. The steak was fine, could have been more flavorful. The rice and beans were a bit cold, and the tacos were kinda bland in my opinion. The three stars is for the price. The prices for it was worth it, but the taste wouldn't get me to come back. read more

They have fantastic burritos, but it's not one that you can hold in your hands.. You need a fork and knife because the tortilla isn't big enough to hold all the stuffing. That being said, the proportions are huge. Acapulco is a very much self serve kind of place. Grab a drink from one of the fridges or get yourself a cup of water from the counter. The service is minimal. They have a $10 card minimum. read more

After months of having a hankering for Mexican food (and hearing that NYC has none of it), I stumbled upon Acapulco. So the place itself, it pretty standard almost diner-ish, nothing special clean but again forgettable. You seat yourself and they bring you menus. My husband ordered a Modelo...$4 people, $4! We split chips and guacamole. The chips themselves were thick and crispy while the guacamole was ON POINT! It was garlicky and spicy, and they definitely used more than the standard restaurant ingredients in their recipe. As far as meals go we each got a burrito (which according to Yelp seemed to be a specialty). We got the steak and chicken burritos, both $7.25 each. Both were incredibly flavorful, well seasoned, and they both were served in a massive portion size. The only thing that comes with the burritos is a tomato salad, shredded lettuce/onion, and a sour cream sauce on top. We each used the table hot sauce which was spicy but very good to top the burrito. Overall, we left incredible stuffed and satisfied. Would I recommend this place? You bet I would in fact it sounds good again today. I'm coming to find out that little old Greenpoint has a lot of hidden gems to be found in the most unassuming of places. Big money can't always get your good food, something to remember! read more

This place is amazing. Get the Chicken Sandwich with grilled peppers and onions.

Great authentic tacos in the area. Pretty try big for 2 for $6. Burritos are also very big at $7.50. Their guacamole is also pretty awesome. Check this place out if you're craving some tacos. Much better than the other places in LIC. They don't deliver to LIC by the way. read more

Amaaaazing tacos! Also very affordable. Two tacos filled to the brim for just $6.50? Yes, please. Friendly staff and clean, cute retro diner style. read more
