Birria Soup
Jacqui C.

It's a cute restaurant. Their menu, in my opinion, was more unique/authentic then other Mexican restaurants. Service was quick and the food was good. There was a huge party there when we were there, so it was pretty loud, but seems it would have been quite otherwise. They even have a small gift shop.

Nuevo Acapulco has good food, great drinks and is always a nice time. There is a great patio with a bar that is really fun to sit at and enjoy a meal or some drinks and appetizers. The food is fresh and authentic. Try the guacamole made at your table to your liking, so fresh and delicious. My favorite drink is the jalapeño margarita- so good!

I used to come here for years! We decided to try it again after so long and since they moved to their new location. The quality of food has really gone down. Most items we ordered were bland and tasted nothing like we used to get. It was disappointing since we came to celebrate a birthday. The restaurant was pretty empty the day we went. We were seated in a back corner. They give complimentary chips & salsa. For the birthday they put a sombrero on and staff comes to sing while you enjoy complimentary chips with whipped cream on them. Staff were friendly, but the food quality was the issue. I don't know what happened but it did not taste like it used to. Even the chips they give didn't feel fresh. Spacious restaurant and lots of Mexican flair with the artwork. Free parking.

Charley's burger from Nuevo Acapulco.

This is my family's favorite restaurant on the Wiest side of Cleveland. I've never had a bad experience at this place. Ever. I got the Charley's burger here today and it was excellent. The sweet and savory flavor combinations worked very well and were properly balanced. One of the best burgers I've had in my life. I would definitely order it again.

We have eaten at Nuevo many times. Although not recently. We took a chance on getting a table on Friday, right at dinner time. I was happily surprised that there was no waiting. Was also surprised to be told to just pick a sit anywhere. We order drinks and dinner. My husband had a margarita and. I had homemade sangria. The sangria was super sweet and lacking any sign of fruit at all. Our dinners came very promptly. We both ordered Seafood Chimichangas. They were just mediocre. Seemed lacking in much seafood. Several bites were just dough and cheese. I finished neither my drink or my entree. Something has changed in This restaurant. They used to be the best. Now, I doubt we will return. Whatever has gone wrong, I hope they figure it out.

The food is 5 stars, I took one away due to no wiggke room on their menu. I am pescatarian and couldnt add shrimp to anything on special. Just shrimp and fish CANNOT be added. Me, being economically wise, would like to enjoy the happy hour specials and could not. Food always tastes a bit less amazing when you have to pay full price and its happy hour.

Food is authentic and fresh. Service is friendly and swift. I went with a friend for dinner and we split a combo. I tend to forget to snap a pic, but honestly there's food you look at, and then there's food you eat. We ate all of it. Oh also, they bring out salsa and chips. I don't know how or why but the salsa was noteworthy.

***1ST TIME EXPERIENCE*** Greeted & seated immediately for 2 on a Saturday afternoon. Didn't seem busy at all surprisingly. We were given the option to choose where we sat. It's pretty spacious to say. They also have a bar and their own corner store to sell jewelry, etc. FOOD was delicious all around Nothing to complain about. I'm not familiar with traditional Mexican cooking but I can say this place was great. Ordered CHICKEN TAQUITOS (size portion couldn't be beat), SHRIMP CEVICHE, PORK CARNITAS ENCHILADAS and TACOS AL PASTOR. All 10/10! Definitely added as a favorite.

Jumbo Marg
Deb B.

Perfect place for an afternoon margarita. Make it a Jumbo! This place has been around for some time. Food is always hot and good quality. Atmosphere is neighborhood casual with friendly staff. Service is personal and prompt. I had the enchilada special with chicken. Tasty and enough for two meals. Go with the refried beans. They are the best. Marg was tasty with salt rim slushy, on the rocks or just plain available. All great quality flavor. When they say Jumbo they mean it. I love that they give each person an individual salsa dish to go with chips. Double dip to your delight.

LIVE MUSIC -- I arrived at the start of a weekend (Friday evening) and the pub was already packed with people. I could tell immediately that Gormley's is a hometown and west side favourite bar. The two member band that played were greet and they kept the atmosphere of the bar lively. Gormley's has an upstairs and downstairs so there is lots of space to sit or stand. At one point, I went upstairs and stood on the small balcony which was nice due to the slightly warm weather on that evening. If you are looking for a pub to hangout with friends, drink responsibly, and even watch some sports on TV, then Gormley's is the spot for you. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 41/250 total reviews in 2026 - 882 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 23 April 2026

There are actually two sections of outdoor seating: regular tables and a complete bar. It is a very cool setup! I had the gluten free pepperoni pizza. This is one of the best gluten free pizzas I have ever had. I would definitely order it again! We started with a hot Bavarian pretzel as an appetizer. It was excellent, warm and fluffy with just enough salt. My wife ordered a taco platter that she enjoyed. My son had a chicken sandwich and fries that he ate completely. Well, he ate most of it, I stole some of the fries. lol. I did not try any of the beer, but they had a wide variety of options. Several tables around us seemed to be enjoying their drinks.

Breweries for some reason almost always offer a killer menu for individuals who are gluten free, and I am always thankful for that. We ordered the Korean sticky chicken bites for an appetizer. They were wonderful. What I didn't appreciate was that about 5 minutes after receiving the appetizer, we got our food. I hate when the meal feels rushed or hurried. I like to give myself time to breathe between courses. The chicken was really good. The next morning I ate them for breakfast and they were nice and crispy and flavorful. I ordered the gluten free fish and chips. The fish was coated with a potato crust. It was very good. I enjoyed the tartar sauce as well. The lemon fennel salad hit the spot and was a great marriage of flavors for the entire dish. It was also served with fries. My husband ordered the patty melt that was on special and took half of it home. I had a cider on tap, which was labeled dry, but a little sweeter than I like, and Phil had a beer and liked it because it tasted like a beer. The one thing I didn't appreciate was the added "convenience fee" on the bill. Not sure what that was for, but it wasn't anywhere on the menu, nor did I see it in a sign somewhere. The waitress wasn't really friendly. Would I come back? Absolutely. I would just ask them to give us some time in between the appetizer and food. It wasn't busy where they had to move us along either.

Recently, I tried Dark Halo with the ISB Root Beer at the Winter Warmer. I'm hoping it becomes a seasonal flavor. I generally sit at the bar, the service is anyways great. The ambiance doesn't feel like your typical brewery. It's very bright inside but it has an open floor plan. I believe some nights they host trivia. During my most recent trip I tried the short ribs. They were good and hit the spot but I think I'll stick to the burgers.

Super sad to write that Char is now called "Avo"......??? I came here last year when it was Char…read moreWhiskey Bar and LOVED it! Atmosphere was a wood, rustic, whiskey barrel feel and the food was great. Came back this year, and it was probably the most brutal restaurant experience I've had in a while. So Char is now called Avo Mexican, but they didn't change the atmosphere to replicate a Mexican place. It's still whiskey themed- with signs slapped on the old logo. They still have some of the old menu items from Char- which is so confusing too. When we walked in I asked the host if the bar was open seating. He said "oh I don't know" and walked away. We just sat at the bar since he didn't come back. We asked the Bartender what happened to Char and he said the owners wanted a rebrand. But it looked like a whiskey bar still....they didn't rebrand anything. I got a marg and my guy asked for a Mexican beer they used to have. Bartender said we haven't had that in a year. So they got rid of all their Mexican beers....? Even though they are now a Mexican place? So he ended up getting a Coors Light. My Marg lacked any sweetness or Agave. It was tequila and lime juice- poor bartender was struggling with 4 bar guests. It was kinda sad. I got a taco salad and my guy got a burger. He used to get the burger with fries, but now that it's Mexican, they only have chips. We had chips and guac for an app, so that was super annoying. Fries used to be really good. And who wants a burger without fries? Place wasn't busy, but our food took 35 minutes. Bartender kept apologizing and saying the kitchen was slammed. It clearly wasn't, I'm sure the cooks were adjusting to a new menu. Food was okay. Used to be really good, but I wouldn't recommend anymore. I guess they close at 8pm some days, because around 7:40 when we just had gotten our food, the bartender said it's last call. We were kinda laughing that they did a last call during normal dinner hours. My fiancé was considering getting another beer after dinner, but I guess they were closing...so weird. I've never seen a place close at peak dinner hours. No idea why they rebranded it. Confusing signage, food is not good anymore, drinks are bad, atmosphere doesn't make sense, menu is lackluster, service and kitchen are lacking, hours are bad. Sucks to write this, but I 100% will not be returning.
