We were craving nachos before our long drive home and I found this amazing restaurant that offered 3 varieties on the menu. We had the Nachos Supreme, loaded with 3 meats, quac and all the toppings. Fantastic! We also shared the lunch special #26, Acapulco enchiladas, I believe. It was a plate of 4 enchiladas, bean-cheese-chicken-beef, covered in verde sauce, sour cream, lettuce and tomatoes. The chips are light and the salsa is delicious. Service is excellent. I highly recommend stopping here if you are in NW Arkansas. read more

I got the supreme nachos to go. Some of the best I've ever had. Huge portion. While I was waiting I had a Long Island iced tea. They put their south of the border spin on it. Service was good. Can't recommend this place enough read more

Food was bland with no flavor. I ordered the Chile Verde. It was lacking in flavor. Salsa was tasteless. Won't go back .

Got some fitas from here the nastiest fitas I've ever tasted they was burnt and slow, bringing the food will not go back there again

Great food great service awesome ambience. My favorite meal is the beef enchilada with rice only don't like the beans they take care of me as soon as I walk in the door great place to eat read more

Staff was ok other than that nothing good to say. Took forever to be seated. Salsa had no spice or flavor and chips are not salted. Refilled chips but left salsa bowls empty but no loss as it was not great. Carne asada plate was bland and the steak tasted weird and boiled. Steak ranchero again steak tasted boiled with no flavor or seasoning. Taquitos were ok. Chimichangas were pretty good if you got your cheese sauce on the side. Given the check and told to pay at the front. Then it took forever for someone to come up to the register so we could pay and leave. read more

Just moved to area, checked out YELP reviews and found this small restaurant in an even smaller strip shopping center at 412 and Old Missouri Road in Springdale. The menu was priced a little higher than posted on YELP , but most lunch combos were around $8-11. The service was great - our water and chips were never empty. The food was delicious, more of a jalapeño green sauce than green chili but very tasty. There were daily specials posted for food and drink. It was pretty busy at 1:00 in the afternoon. We can't wait to return!!! read more

The food and the service are second to none! Highly recommend! Carmen is the best! The ceviche is the best in this area!

Stop there every couple weeks, great food and friendly staff. Highly recommend. Quest, salsa,tortilla chips are great and one of my favorites, the nacho supreme plate is a very good meal. read more

Had 5 tacos here which were just amazing. The chips and salsa some of the best I've ever had as well. The waiter was very kind she got everything I asked perfectly. The inside is very welcoming and tidy. read more

The food is very good. The service not so much. Had to flag them down 4 times. The salsa is not completely puréed. And slightly spicy, yum. Had the Acapulco Chimichanga beef, chicken and shrimp. Wife had the Steven's Special with fajita vegetables. If the service was better, I would recommend to everyone. If your not in a hurry, good place to eat. read more

Located in a strip mall, came here for lunch on a Monday. The larger dining area was full so we were seated in a smaller room to the right. Things I noticed right off: salsa is sweet & besides some flakes of fresh coriander, not sure if it's homemade. Ordered a small cheese dip - good size but runny & yellow w/no flavor. Took a little while to get our food but everything was hot. Ordered the Acapulco plate which comes w/a tamale, beef enchilada, chicken taquito, beef taco & rice/beans. Taco shells were hard (so maybe homemade?) The tamale & rice were my favorites. Service was alright- no complaints but nothing outstanding. Took most of my meal to go, wasn't offered chips or a container for almost an entire cup of cheese dip. That's ok- wasn't too jazzed about it. They will bring you a cup of hot sauce if you ask for it. read more

I am over the moon that we found this place. As someone who frequents Mexican food establishments on the reg (like 3x's a week at least), I've had a hard time finding one that is just really good. This place is it! The salsa is wonderful, with good pieces of onion and garlic flavor throughout. The service never disappoints. It's great for a quick bite with the hubs, a family gathering, or for a casual lunch date. Order the margarita! Even the house one is !! read more

Have been here twice and the food is really good. Came here on a busy football weekend and this place was able to seat us pronto. Hasn't disappointed yet. Highly recommend. read more

Best Mexican food I've had in the area! Great service and the margaritas did not disappoint! Highly recommend!!

This is a popular little restaurant in Springdale that does a great job of offering food that appeals to both Tex-Mex fans and fans of authentic Mexican food. They have great food and drink specials, the restaurant is always very clean, and I am always impressed with the customer service and the quality of the food. The restaurant has a beach theme which is fun. I'm always a little hesitant about restaurants that have extensive menus because it's hard to have that much food stay fresh, but Acapulco's menu items use a lot of the same ingredients, so I have no worries about the menu size here. I'm a big fan of the al pastor meat especially, but I've never had a menu item I didn't like. El Acapulco is a little ways off from the interstate, so it may take a little extra time for out-of-towners to get here, but the quality and atmosphere are worth the trip. read more

Blahhhhhh! So very Disappointed. We've been wanting to try this place for some time it's right around the corner from our house. The staff are very friendly service was quick beers are big but... The food was very bland with no flavor , I got the chicken, beef, cheese enchilada plate it was dry with no seasoning my husband got the Chimi changa. The guacamole seemed to be fresh but the salsa was flavorless no spice at all. Sad to say we will not be returning. read more

Friendly waitstaff. Food is always delicious. Taco Tuesday: tacos $1.50 , includes beef/chicken fajita, crunchy ground beef, carne asada, al pastor, etc. All very flavorful. Paired with a $2.99 margarita, that's absolutely the cheapest, most delicious Mexican food around. On Tuesdays:) read more

This was a fantastic quick lunch spot! Service was quick and pleasant...the chips and salsa was fresh and delicious..the entree was huge and filling. Had the guacamole and it was fresh and tasty. The chimichanga was huge and delicious. The rice and beans were perfect although they could have been warmer but overall it was one fantastic meal!...I recommend this place for lunch or dinner..am going back read more

Acapulco Restaurant - Chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

This amazing joint is right by my mom's house, near the Springdale airport. This family owned and run restaurant features authentic favorites and recognizable Tex-Mex standards. One of my favorites is the Guis de Res. Tender brisket, potatoes and carrots and very flavorful. The chips are warm and crispy and the salsa is fresh and tasty-watch out, you'll be tempted to fill up on them alone. The staff is friendly, recognizes their regulars and is prompt and helpful. Always a solid choice for lunch or dinner. Also features a full bar and many TVs for sports viewing. read more

Stopped in for lunch on our way back to OKC. It was excellent. Salsa and chips was a little spicy with great flavor. We had chicken, cheese and spinach enchiladas. Lots of chicken in the chicken enchilada. I would definitely be back if we lived closer. Service was great. read more

I am uber picky about my guacamole and that alone sold me..Doesnt taste like every other frozen ickypoo and not too onionee (my word don't hate) my hubs and I both got a chicken entree he got the breaded chicken and I got grilled..VERY flavorful and juicy read more

Get the bowl of queso!! The cup is never enough. Portions are great, prices are good, food is excellent. Love coming here.

After reading reviews from Urban Spoon, I assumed it would be a decent place to try. Urban Spoon gave it 89%, its more like 46%. Taco Bell is better. My flavorless Enchilada was wrapped up in a rubbery corn flour shell. The beef looked like beef paté cat food. The chicken Enchilada was even worst filled with dry dark meat. Again no flavor. I will not be back. read more

Acapulco Restaurant - the front of the building - Mexican Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

One of the few Mexican places I can go to on my low-carb diet and manage to get a full meal. Everything I've gotten there has been good, but my "regular" meal is the Acapulco Shrimp (without the cilantro they normally cover the top with), which is grilled shrimp in a sour cream/butter/onion sauce, served with a small selection of hot mixed vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower and carrots in a cheese sauce) and a garnish of tomato and avocado slices. When it's cold, I get a cup of the tortilla soup, which I like because most of the ingredients are served separately and I can add or leave out whatever I want (I add everything EXCEPT the tortilla chip strips). And when it's warm, we eat out on the patio, which is nicer than eating inside; it's covered, shady and usually cool in Summer heat. (When I'm really feeling naughty, I'll eat some of the flan for dessert, although I'm not sure it's much different than what you can get in the grocery stores.) Whatever you get, you're bound to enjoy it, and the prices are great. read more

Excellent Food and service. Truly authentic Mexican food with fresh ingredients. read more

Delicious! We used Curbside pick-up. I had Chili Colorado. It had Award Winning flavor! My husband ordered Taco al Pastor and Beef Enchilada and he said they were excellent. Loved the chips and salsa, too. We highly recommend Acapulco Restaurant. read more

Inauthentic Mexican food. Typical Americanized Mexican- in other words- nasty. Salsa is basically canned tomato sauce with cilantro, that is not salsa. They were not busy when we went yet the wait staff was in attentive. If you never had true Mexican food, you might like it, but if you are expecting something delicious and authentic, this is definitely not the place. The enchiladas are stuffed and topped with yellow cheese and put in the oven. That should tell you all you need to know. Lol read more

We stopped in on our way home for our 'mexican fix'. We try to eat at as many of the locally owned, non-chain mexican and tex-mex restaurants in our travels. The place wasn't busy on Saturday at 4, but most places aren't. We found the service excellent and the food just as good. The Acapulco Shrimp was very tasty and my wife had the Taco platter, she said the beans were some of the best she'd eaten. The chips were fresh, the salsa home made and had just the right amount of spice to bite, yet not hot enough to make you order some honey. We always check out the bathrooms as well, and these were top notch, clean and fresh smelling. Something hard to do in a public place that serves beer. read more

Acapulco is always our first choice for Mexican food in Springdale (and there are many choices). The chips are warm and fresh, and the salsa is fresh and flavorful. My husband and I have tried several items from the menu and have yet to be disappointed. My latest order was the spinach enchiladas and my husband had fajitas. Both dishes were brought out hot and were delicious. The whole staff is friendly and never let your glass sit empty. You can't go wrong with this place. read more

Fantastic chips and salsa...chips are perfect!! We also had fajita nachos which were awesome...defiantly worth the trip

The place wasn't very busy for a Saturday night, but service was slow & inattentive. Considering all the other Mexican restaurants nearby there are better options around town. Food was mediocre. read more

Traveling for work and found this place. Great, fresh food! Service was quick too. Nice staff!

Lunch special C is so good I can't make myself or other items!!! Every times we go in here I want to try other dishes but always go back to the special!! Very flavorful salsa, good chips and cheese dip. We will go back often!! read more

Just driving through. Very filling. Great taste. I ordered a #6 on the lunch menu and it was TWO plates of food. Atmosphere was friendly. Chips are warm and crispy. Yum! read more

Great authentic food. My favorite is the burrito Mexicano but i'm on my way to trying everything on the menu, so far all is amazing. The staff are wonderful and the fish bowl sized margaritas are delicious! read more

We were in our way back to Houston and stopped here. Lunches are $5.99-6.99 they have a full bar and beer. The hot sauce was very good. The food was very good, as good as Houston. The decor is very nice and rest rooms are clean. I'd stop here anytime. read more
