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.

Chicken Fajitas

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.

I looked at my last review and I see that I haven't been here in two years and that would make…read moresense because the friend I always met here passed away last year. drove into the parking lot and was really scared cause there's usually never any cars at 12:12 30 at this restaurant. That's why I choose it. with the parking lot loaded with cars I walked in and asked if there was a table left for one person and he laughed. The dining room had two tables set up for 12 each and they were two separate groups not related so I figured oh dear, but I was seated right away took my drink order and my food order; ordered two tilapia fish tacos. Took a wee bit longer than I had hoped but that's OK. I'm in no rush. I looked at the plate and you know how those plates always come with beans and rice neither which I eat? The rice was a third of the platter and the beans were smashed all over on another third of the platter so I had to fight to eat too deliciously gorgeously presented fish tacos. They were flat instead of put in one of those taco containers to keep the tacos standing up? They were flat on a plate and they were the mini tacos, but they were beautifully presented with lots of lettuce and lots of tomatoes and I know there was a piece of tilapia on each one of them somewhere-- the wedges of lime that we normally get are now a half of a wedge of a lime. But once I lined up my tilapia tacos, they were extremely messy and I know this because he brought extra napkins and I use them all --they were cooked very well. They weren't a breaded fish so that makes it a little bit more healthy, and they were absolutely delicious. Filled me up nicely. Jose was an attentive server. Halfway through one of the tables for 12 left and as I'm getting ready to leave the other table for 12 is still sitting. I'll have to make sure I come back here more than two years plus. Really enjoyed this $20.00 lunch

BEST FAST CASUAL MEXICAN IN A MILLION WAYS!!…read more If you are looking for a faster & more authentic Mexican place than chipotle/moes/qudobo/ etc... this is it!!!! This is some of the best fast casual mexican food in the Cle area - def still has some American influence (no tamales) but still definitely better than some of the others around Cle! They have birria tacos, bowls, burritos, tortas, quesadillas, etc!!! With more authentic options for topping! Sides: queso, esquites (the street corn), many salsas, guac, chips, etc. For drinks they have: Jamaica, horchata, Mexican Coke, jarritos, and alcoholic options!!! I come here way more often than I would like to admit but it never gets old! This time I got a burrito to split (bc trust me they are BIG) - and look at how gorgeous this thing is... I already miss it!!!! Staff are always smiling and wonderful! They can always help if you have a question! Lakewood location I believe is a little smaller but they have like 7-8 tables inside still and a beautiful patio outside for when the weather is nice!!!! DEFINITELY recommend this place!!!!!! I'll see you there

I first visited Cilantro Taqueria in 2023 at their Cleveland Heights location (on Coventry Road)…read moreand I visited this location in Lakewood last summer (August 2025). For my recent visit to their Lakewood location in June 2026, I ordered 1 steak taco and 1 shrimp taco. I got it to go and ate it in my car before going to the Lakewood library. Sadly, most of the contents of the shrimp taco had shifted and fallen off the tortilla while I was driving but I still enjoyed the taco. The shrimp and steak taco were good. I preferred the shrimp taco and I think I'll get 2 of those next time. The steak one was okay because the steak was tough to eat (slightly hard in texture) and not as juicy or tender. I enjoyed my taco toppings of corn, tomatoes, and cilantro. The mango habanero sauce was flavourful too but I didn't use too much of it. For some reason, I forgot that it would be spicy...LOL. I'll certainly be back. Prices are reasonable and their menu is extensive. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 131/250 total reviews in 2026 - 972 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 17 June 2026
