The Brussel tacos $5 are great, enjoyed chicken enchiladas $15 and corn battered bites- chorizo hush puppies $5.

Upstairs has windows that overlook the street. Good place for groups & families. Brighton can get expensive for meals, so we appreciated the "tapas" small bites, fun to share. Our meal for 3 was $75 including 3 drinks and we all enjoyed it. A favorite place of our local friends

It has character that adds to the experience. We had a fairly large group, we were seated upstairs where it is bright and more spacious than expected. The service was excellent! Very attentive and the food arrived quickly and accurately. The group ordered mostly the carne asada and the Al pastor tacos. It arrives mostly on the same tray and each person grabs their tacos. They were all Presented nicely with tasty toppings. Another person ordered the quesadilla and another ordered a rice bowl, I ordered the wet burrito. It was very big and was filled with a good amount of chicken and lots of rice, topped with queso. We ordered the chips and salsa and the chips and trio, this includes salsa, queso and guacamole. We requested the hot salsa as well. We enjoyed everything! We left full and satisfied. I would certainly eat here again. Great flavors! Quick side note, the prices are on the high side, chips and salsa are not complimentary and each item is ala cart. A side of rice and each salsa, jalapeños etc. gets pricey and when it's added to the tacos priced individually, the bill climbs quickly. Just something to take into consideration when planning an outing.

The service is what really sucked unfortunately, waiter was busy which I understand.

It was decent enough I'd go back and give them another shot, but was not overly impressed on the first trip.

Anytime I do a review I try to take in the experience as a whole. Not just focusing on the food, or…read moreif the service was bad. So why did I give The Acapulco Mexican Grill a 3 star? Let me explain. The place is conveniently located downtown Charlotte with plenty of parking. If there's no street side parking out front, there's a big lot out back too. It's a good size restaurant with lots of seating inside, but there's also an outdoor patio if that's your thing. The menu has just about anything you would typically want from a sit down Mexican restaurant, and a sizable drink menu also. The place is relatively clean and the restrooms are usually kept up. I've never had a meal or bad service. Sounds like everything you'd want in a restaurant. But honestly, that's how things are supposed to be. I expect the place to be clean. I expect the staff to be polite. I expect the food be good. These are all standard things. A 3 star review is just that, standard. Anything higher would be above and beyond. I just don't think this place or the food is above and beyond. There's a couple other Mexican restaurants nearby, so I'd figure they'd step their game up a notch. Unfortunately I don't see it. I'll eat here again, because I like it. They are in fact better than the other places. But the other places lessor reviews don't automatically add stars to this one. Do average, get average.

Wait staff is always super friendly. Food always comes out hot, fresh, and reasonably quick. Long Live Pablo's! Long live Catalina's!

Not me... the Fajitas were scrimpy & mostly Veggies. We go to ACAPULCO & always get really great food & their Fajitas are full of whatever meat you choose garnished with grilled veggies - not filled either them ... I do think that maybe the Pablo Management needs to visit them or eat there & view their Menu & taste their food. Old Town wasn't any better there at Pablo's as the food wasn't good & again runny unappetizing beans.
