My expectations for Mexican food in Germany were already low before going to Acapulco, but my…read moreexperience at Acapulco lowered them even more. Despite decent service (by German standards) and a lively ambiance, my el pollo quesadilla was terrible. It was sitting in a pool of unknown liquid (juices from meat, salsa, and tomatoes?) and lacking flavor. When I peeled back on part of the quesadilla's tortilla, I found an entire half of a tomato (pictured) with no apparent attempts to cut it. The salad accompanying the quesadilla was smothered in dressing - so much that I had to scrape some of it off the leaves. I understand that Germany's geographic disposition might not be conducive for high quality Mexican ingredients, but that has nothing to do with properly cutting a tomato or draining excess liquid from an entree. Very disappointing! The restaurant's only saving grace was their house brewed beer. It was cheap, flavorful, and - on a hot Leipzig evening - refreshing.

I am giving this place 3 stars because it is cheap so you really get what you pay for. The food…read moretasted totally industrial, like every sauce came from a can or a container, nothing home made. I will not go back and I was very disappointed at the quality. But yet again, you get what you pay for and in Germany I get the feeling people really put high pressure on lowering prices, tough market so sadly quality ends up sacrificed.

Excellent happy hour! We came here twice because the drinks were delicious, there was plenty of…read moreoutdoor seating in the plaza, and the happy hour prices were very reasonable. We did not order any food since we are from Southern California and are partial to the delicious Baja-Style Mexican foods prevalent there. @sturdygirlstyle #sturdygirlstyle

OK, I'm from Phoenix, Arizona. A burrito for €12.oo, really? Asking for black or kidney beans and…read morebeing told "we don't have beans" and being charged €1.00 for a teaspoon of pico de gallo for the burro. Overall, it was good, salsa tasted like salsa, guac was good, although all of the condiments came in mini portions. The drinks (margaritas on the rocks) were really good. They are centrally located in a tourist area but € 12.00 for a burrito is just unreal. Note: The visit was in June of 2017

I was excited to see all of these positive reviews and assumed this would be decent Mexican food.

My friend and I have been in Leipzig for about six months and decided today was the day we would…read moretry German Mexican cuisine. Perhaps our first mistake was arriving at 2:15pm when the buffet closed at 3. We can chalk that up to our American passports granting us hubris and the proclivity for being late. But, we wanted to try a variety of cuisine and thought this buffet would be our best bet. There was certainly a variety of dishes and also a variety of textures, ranging from disturbingly wet to unpalatably dry. As soon as I walked in, I began feeling sweaty. Currently, the sweat is the least of my concerns. Pros: Coffee was good Raspberry juice was good (dip a mini pancake in it for a nice treat) Nice housemade sour cream The chili con carne was tasty and did not seem like it had been sitting out too long The Germans sitting next to us thought we were funny as we reviewed the food Cons: The most soggy churros I have ever seen, and I dipped them in a yogurt that was supposed to taste like hibiscus, but I think the hibiscus decided it was needed elsewhere The ribs were SO dry and possibly contained a new kind of meat genetically engineered to not have flavor The fruit salad was impossibly wet Not a refried bean, scoop of guacamole, or pile of fresh cheese to be found Could not taste much chili, paprika, or other spices in the food My back now hurts Am I being overdramatic? Possibly. We are quite far from Mexico here in Leipzig. The table service was normal for Germany, they were efficient and got us what we needed. The decor was a mash of bright colors, old posters, and a lot of Día de los Muertos items. I liked the layout of the second floor with a beach-like atmosphere. Overall, qwhite an experience. Would add an extra half star if I could because I think they're trying - just needed some more finishing touches and rotation of dishes under the heat lamps.
