FINALLY! The Best AUTHENTIC Mexican Food in Southern California! Too many restaurants claim to be authentic but fall short of the REAL thing. THIS IS REAL MEXICAN Food. I have taken several people here who are blown away at the corn tortillas and REAL beans and rice. You can have your El Torito, Baja Grill, Rubio's, and Taco Bell ( what an injustice ). This place is the place to go if you are looking for unadulterated taste of the mexican food - cooked by a little mexican lady. Flavorful... This food will give you a coma. If you find yourself reading this review I highly recommend you try this place. read more

The shrimp ceviche is here is sooo good! The portion is a large amount, perfect for my lunch

Food is great I love it! But customer service is always horrible the ladies in the front are the worst they don't care at all.

Always fresh food made to order. Blanca was my waitress today. She is very friendly and helpful. Making sure our order was just perfect. Coffee is great with a hint of cinnamon. Casual setting and very inviting to have great food in a relaxing atmosphere. Everything we have ordered has never been disappointed. Fresh salsa and chips are served while we wait for our meal. Definitely recommend this place. read more

This restaurant has amazing Mexican food. I never get disappointed coming here. The food is always delicious and prices are reasonable. I have ordered picaditas, menudo and sea food. Their ceviche mixto is really good and their fried fish is amazing! Their salsas are homemade and they have handmade tortillas. They have cinnamon coffee which tastes delicious! I like going there and seeing my favorite waitress Elizabeth she is so nice and her service is always great. read more

Our first time here and it looks really amazing. We ordered huevos rancheros, half a dozen oysters on the half shell, fish tacos and lengua tacos. My order is "to go" but I snapped a couple pictures of someone else's order as it came out to be served under the patio tent and it looks just like or better than the pictures that they are advertising! Without having tasted it ... I would highly recommend this place noting the portions served and that they hand press their tortillas! The giant tent for patio dining in your parking lot was packed yesterday (that brought me back today to try them!) and yesterday as well as this morning at 9 a.m was super busy!!!. Sunday their line is going right out the door at 9am. Amazing! read more

Pozole verde de mierda. Te dan puro hueso como si fueras perro desabrido no vayas valen verga

Called an order in and was told it would be ready in 20 min. Arrived 25 minutes after ordering and was rudely told by the cashier that "I arrived too early". I said I would wait. Once the order was done I opened it to check and it was not seasoned like we normally get it. We have ordered the fish several times. The cashier called the cook over and had an argument with her and then with me. I was told they could not replace the food since it would "be a waste". This was their mistake which yes, we all make but the attitude and rudeness were not necessary. Horrible customer service! read more

For some reason our family from Napa Calif. enjoys eating here, it must be that the food is very good. Especially if we are going from Downey to Santa Ana !! The waitresses here wear some nice outfits for the Gentlemen....It's kind of like Mexican Hooters, but instead of the orange shorts...they wear some red mini skirts. The food is so good here, you must try a little bit of everything and share with your group. The ceviche is very fresh. The Tilapia is so large it must be shared !! The shrimps are Jumbo size in the shrimp in garlic sauce combo plate. You must try their aguas frescas... check with the waitress to see what are the flavors for the, like Melon or Tamarindo or even Jamaica. read more

Called for take out lady said hold and never got back to me on the phone.sent my husband to just order in person,was hectic there and no social distancing and left.. read more

The Molcajete de Asada is so delicious! Staff is very friendly and I'm always coming back for more!

Little tiny hole in the wall place. The waitresses were attentive, the place is clean and the food was plentiful. My sons burrito could've had less rice and a little more meat, I think that is the only reason for not giving 5 stars. Everything is homemade and flavorful. If you're in the area drop in. They have bottled beer as well as soda. read more

Restaurant Acapulco 2 - Menu is simple and very reasonably priced. - Mexican Near Me - Santa Ana, California

This place was quite a surprise! I was not expecting much but I ended up getting way more than I wanted. Aguas frescas are delicious and hydrating, the salsa for the chips had the right amount of kick, and the atmosphere is really nice. Definitely date night material. The food is not the most delicious thing in the world and the waitress was so busy dealing with other things to pay attention to us, but damn does this place have personality. I especially love the murals they have in here. They're so beautiful and I think I'd come back just to see them again. read more

We order take out because we are going Thru this quarantine. One of the best sea food I've ever had! Huge portions, delicious and best of all sooo fresh! I don't understand why there is only 3 stars. The look of the place does not match the food. Check it out guys read more

This place is too small smells and food is not to great dont waste your money the aguas are watered down like shit read more

Restaurant Acapulco 2 - Ordered a molcajete and cheese looks like shit way too hard wasn't sure if ordered cardboard hahha expensive ass shit - Mexican Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Be careful after you eat the check your bill they try to over charge and play stupid. Also last time I ordered pozole and it had 2 pieces of meat. Like really?!?!? Poor service. read more

I am not too sure why this restaurant has such bad reviews~ we came to try their pozole and it was delish! My mom got pozole rojo and I the verde. They both came in HUGE portions with a side of cabbage, limes, tostadas, and AVOCADO! Usually places charge extra for that so it was really nice :). We also got the chips and salsa they were perfect, including the side of frijolitos and cheese. We also ordered aguas- horchata and Tamarindo both were really good and not too sweet. We ordered hot coffee and it reminded me of a warm hug with delicious notes of cinnamon. Service: the girls were attentive and kind. We didn't expect 5 star service but they came though and made sure our food was good and that our needs are met. Also it was a busy Sunday morning (inside and outside where packed) I saw some reviews complaining about folks coming to sell items at the restaurant, we had the same experience but we loved having them sell their items. We bought pencils that were cute, a nice distraction before getting our food. I would definitely give this place a try! I was super hesitant on coming and had the mindset of heck no. But after I will becoming back :) read more

Why is greasy Mexican food my new boyfriend, especially after a night of drinking until 5am? I love buche! I don't care if you think it's gross or weird, I am a white girl who loves some pig stomach or esophagus or whatever it is [yes I've heard different things different places and am still not sure what it is]. This place has some of the juiciest buche I've come across. Yes my burrito and banana shake were about $12 [yes I was shocked when handed my change by my friend], but after getting home and eating and feeling so much better, I knew it was worth it. I think next time I'm just gonna go buy 1/2 a pound of buche and make my own burrito. [It's $6.99/lb which is a little more expensive than grocery stores, but damn is it good!] read more

Taqueria Acapulco is one of those places at the end of the street that has been there forever, and probably has gone through a few different name changes, Ive never eaten there till just recently when i stopped in with Candice B. and I may just stop by again soon. The few things that caught my eye on the menu were the agua frescas, Liquados, and of course alcohol. Immediately I had to order a Mexican banana shake, and it was sooooooo goood! Candice B. ordered the Buche burrito, all meat... because thats just how she rolls. both the burrito and the shake came out to about $12 which seems kinda expensive, but the flavor of the burrito and the amazingness of the shake made it worth it! You can also buy Carne Asada and a few other meats here by the pound which is a plus! read more

I paid $14 for a fish taco and a shrimp taco, they were terrible, bland and the fish was over cooked the tortillas tasted like they had been sitting there for hours and were just reheated no type of sauce on either taco some bell peppers on the shrimp taco were undercooked it's over priced read more

Mal servicio hoy fui a comer con mi fammil pedí una carne asada y me la dieron muy quemada y una mojarra ala diable y me la dieron súper dura y unas papas y estaban frías. read more

My family and I came here and we literally waited one fkn hour to get our food and the shrimp was burned and literally tasted like it. I ordered carne asada fries and i still even asked the waitress do you guys make that and she said yes and an hour later she brought me my plate and it was nachos and it didnt even have meat even though i was paying for it and i told her about the nachos and said she didnt make carne asada fries so i was like wtf ok fine whatever but like i even asked her to make sure turns out the cook was new and she didnt even know how to make the food... my nachos had barely any meat and had more of the chips read more

To me this is hands down one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area. Hole in the wall type of place with authentic homemade-like Mexican food. Not your typical fancy place for a romantic dinner but if you love Mexican food you will love this place. Everything I've had there is delicious. It's the only place where we buy our green pozole when we don't want to make it and the place with the best molcajetes around. The cherry on the top... TORTILLAS A MANOOO!!! If you got handmade tortillas you got me! Lol yummmmm read more

Don't go here this is the worst restaurant I've ever been to. The service is terrible, you wait 40mins just to get your order taken and another hour and a half to get your food served. They don't clean the tables or the restrooms and there's food and napkins all over the restaurant floors. Any food like enchiladas, chilaquiles, burrito mojados etc. that come covered or are made with salsa verde or roja taste like the canned food from the grocery stores. The food isn't that great even Taco Bell is better than eating the food they serve here. Would not recommend. read more

I went out with my baby to grab something quick to eat, we were amazed, this place is very authentic the corn tortillas were made there.the food was fast, hot, and yummy...... I'm going back today and whenever I can, I totally recommend it. and the waitress, Elisabeth,, super nice and she makes amazing super good margaritas... read more

While the wait for our food might have been longer that anticipated the waitress went out of her way to bring us a second round of the free appetizers they serve. When we did get our food it did not disappoint; huge portion for a great price. Our food consisted of taquitos, caldo de res, and chilaquiles en salsa roja. All dishes were accompanied by rice and beans with the exception of the taquitos that were also generously layered with fresh avocado and salad. read more

Restaurant Acapulco 2 - Free appetizer while waiting for our food. - Mexican Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Dirty, slow service, lack of flavor too noisy. Food takes forever to get to you and they want you out as soon as possible due to more customers showing up. Not enough space between separate parties. Dirty restroom and dirty kitchen. read more

I would not recommend this place to anyone! The service was awful! We come in and sit down to a dirty sticky table. As we wait for our order to be taken four different people came in trying to sell flowers, music, cartoon cds, and there was one guy who came in asking for money once we politely said no he cussed my mother out. The waiters did nothing, another customer had to tell the guy to leave. We ordered our food, once we got our food the food was okay except for the seafood plate we got tasted like the seafood was old and expired. Not to say when we told this to our waiter, all she did was ask if we've eaten this type of food we said yes. All she did was give us a dirty look for pointing out that we wouldn't eat this because it was old. She took the plate away and came back until 15 min later to ask to take the dirty plates. So i do say again I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE IF YOU VALUE YOUR STANDARDS OF COMING TO A RESTAURANT TO EAT AND NOT TO BE BOTHERED BY PEOPLE AND A HOMELESS THAT SMELLS LIKE URINE WHICH IS PROBABLY THAT HE COMES DAILY AS IF THE CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPECTS ANYWAYS!
