Such is the case last Friday when we wanted a break from the several Mexican eateries close to home. A 20 minute drive to Preston Highway and there we were. We've been here several times before and have never been disappointed. On this particular Friday we were seated immediately and started perusing the menu. El Acapulco has a very sizable menu with vegetarian and meat-o-saurus options ad-infinitum. On previous visits I've had enchiladas of some sort and this time just. plain. tacos sounded good. My eyes spotted the Quesa-Tacos and I was intrigued. Melted cheese between corn tortillas, then filled with a protein and covered with cilantro and onion?!?!? SOUNDS SUPERB. My selections were birria, chorizo, and carne asada. More on that later. El Acapulco is much larger inside than it appears to be on the outside. I don't know what it was before it became El Acapulco, but it's huge! Open ceiling with exposed rafters give it a very open feel. There are a number of screen scattered around the with current news playing, and the background music isn't overwhelming. The staff is busy hustling, 100% of the time. It's always been clean and well-maintained. About ten minutes later our food arrived. I anxiously awaited my Quesa-Tacos and you can see by my photo that I was not disappointed! I've eaten a lot of tacos in a lot of restaurants, but these were, hands-down, some of the absolute best. The tortillas appeared to be slightly grilled on each side to melt the cheese between the layers...and It. Was. Amazeballs. When I was done I was kinda sad that they were gone. I was at once happy and sad. That doesn't happen too often. I'm the kind of person who finds one thing he REALLY likes at a restaurant and largely stays with it. I think the Quesa-Tacos and I are going to be come really good friends.

But a bad drink on special doesn't deserve a 2 star review. The food was the real problem. I love when we're served with free chips and salsa. But I'd rather pay for quality than receive trash. Thick chips with no salt. Not sure which generic brand it of the bag, but really unacceptable. It doesn't stop there. The chicken was edible, but not quality. Did not appear to be fresh, and definitely want juicy. Seasoned cardboard might be the best descriptor. So, why 2 stars and not 1? The people were excellent! They may not have been the most attentive during our visit, but they were quick when we ordered. Sometimes do quick we couldn't finish the request lol. That said they were nice and hard-working. I believe they wanted us to enjoy ourselves. There are a lot of small Mexican restaurants. My recommendation is to drive 5-10 minutes to another one.

My favorite part of the experience was the service. We immediately secured seating, had a server greet us, and chips and salsa carried to the table. Their style of food is going to boil down to preference. Their salsas were unique and the grilled chicken offered in the tacos and quesadillas were seasoned. Without toppings of sour cream or salsa, the chicken came across as peppery; however, adding sauces helped cover up that taste. After comparing the same items I've eaten at other restaurants, this spot would not be my preference for Mexican; however, the crowd was strong inside and on the patio. Plenty of seating and parking is convenient.

Me and my oldest daughter came in here for a daddy daughter date for lunch on a Sunday around noon. We were seated immediately and greeted with friendly workers. Like most traditional Mexican eateries they start you off with complimentary chips and salsa. Which is always a plus. There chips and salsa were very tasty and the salads had a good flavor. Very similar flavor to another local favorite chain el nopal. For our entrees me and my daughter got something similar. I got the Pollo Feliz and she got the Fiesta Bonita. Whixh both consist of chicken, rice and cheese sauce. Only difference is hers also had shrimp and mine came with tortillas and refried beans. They both cost exactly the same so it's a push on price wise. We both liked our meals quite a bit. I took my tortillas and made 3 burritos and still had chicken cheese and rice left over to eat. So it's good portion size. Chicken had good flavor and unlike some places they do not skimp put on the cheese. My daughter also shared similar sentiments. She liked her meal a lot. So both good plates. Overall we had a nice time. Quick, accurate and tasty service. Indoors was pretty large and had a nice vibe. They had a tasty liking dessert menu but we was in a hurry on this trip as we had a recital to get to soon. So maybe next time we go we will sample the dessert menu.

The area is extremely spacious and it is a large bar. They surprisingly do not have much uofl athletic decor for being right across from cardinal stadium. You would think they would try to capitalize off that some. They had a buffet spread when I went. The food wasn't labeled but I tried everything. The taco folds were very tasty with good flavor. The Reuben sandwich was just ok and I was not a fan of there pork and chips and salsa. A few our cups had black things floating in them. I honestly was gonna give a lower rating but decided I would hold off because I didn't really get a normal experience there. But based just off presentation and options I will give it a 3.

I was once again trying to go to Addis Ababa and did not realize that they open in the evening so I went over to the grocery store to get some water for a friend which I didn't find but it's OK. I instead found this restaurant nestled in the back of the store. OMG I was so surprised and when I walked in the smell was amazing. Absolutely amazing. I got the menu, but I was curious about what was in the containers that were being displayed so they were very soups and stews that were there along with some refried beans and a few other things some rice and the chef behind the counter actually let me taste some of the beef dishes, one of which I got and it was so good now let me tell you it's a little spicy and I like the spice, I even got one of the fried peppers which turned out to be too spicy for me, but I ate most of it The beef soup that I got was amazing.
