Reviews for Acapulcos Mexican Family Restaurant & Cantina in Stratford, CT

If I could could give 0 stars I would! Total waste of time and money. All of the food served had no flavor, salsa was watered... down, refried beans was stale and disgusting. It was the worst Mexican food I?ve ever eaten. You guys need to do better. Read more

Wish the food was better. It was like they had the food sitting & plated it. Did not taste fresh. The guacamole is not fresh... guacamole & the salsa is like water. Sad about the experience. I wouldn?t consider this authentic mexican food. Read more

I had to delete my 5 star and go all the way down to one. What an ordeal! We used doordash although the problems came from here.... I asked for a cheese enchilada black beans instead of refried because they contain lard. Doordash offered a credit. But my sonordered so we both had dinner. He called Acapulcos and received a very nasty reply. Even though he had to drive to therestaurant leaving me alone handicapped with medical issues. They tried to get him to keep the order saying they stopped usinglard. It wasn't worth trusting them. They said on top of having to drive there they were charging him $5 for a new enchilada!WHAT? He did it even though I wouldn't I'm guessing they thought I could eat at least the enchilada and rice even though it wasin a container with the refrieds and covered in them. He had to wait 20 mins before he got two containers. One with an enchiladaand another with black beans NO RICE! At that point. He was gonna lose his temper and just took it after of course paying $5! Wehave had issues with pick up orders and they were wonderful. Not tonight! Even the salsa was just pure liquid and very cold?Mine had ice in it! So much for fresh and where the heck was the salsa? A ton of chips that got nothing on them dipping in blandcolored water. We didn't even bother. Again they are having a downward dive. Gotta find somewhere else. Read more

A great place for some quick Mexican food. The margaritas are well made, the food comes out very quickly which in some cases... would be a bad thing, but not here. The menu is really well made, with enough stuff to give you a choice but not enough to beoverwhelming. The staff is attentive and nice. Huge space. Can see this as being a good go-to for when you're really crave someof that standard Mexican fare. Read more

This place is truly AMAZING!!! The service is great, the drinks are delicious and the food is excellent. The shrimp burrito and... the seafood soup is insanely good. The churros are the perfect wrap up to a delicious meal. Can't wait to go back!! Read more

AWFUL SERVICE!! Went in asking for 2 orginal margaritas. Sign said $5.99ea. But bill was $21? 1st I said "I'm sorry but I asked... for NO SALT" he huffed but brought me a new one. Wanted to eat outside, was served usual chips & salsa, friends 1st bite ofchip, pulled a hair out of mouth. Normally I'd be so grossed out I'd leave instantly. BUT, I said well hopefully that won'thappen again. 2ND CHIP, SAME THING?! Long dark hair pulled out of his mouth! I went to front desk, explained what was happening,he apologized many times, as did I! Said things like this happen sometimes, normally I'd leave but I was really looking forwardto some fajitas! So he brought new basket of chips, new salsa & 2 new salsa bowls. I thanked him & apologized again for anincident that wasn't his fault. Suddenly the bartender comes outside & SNATCHES the menu right out of my hands & said "We notserve you food!" I said, "whoa, WHAT? You come rip menu from my hands & say not serving us, after I basically apologized forYOUR RESTRAINTS screw up & STILL willing to eat your food?! I stood up & he came to stop me from going back in restaurant bybody checking me??! I should have called police right then! Went inside to tell everyone what was happening & NO ONE SEEMED TOCARE??

DEFINITELY DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS ROACH INFESTED & PLATES FULL OF HAIR RESTAURANT. GUARENTEE THEY WILL BE CLOSED DOWNAFTER I SPEAK TO THE HEALTH INSPECTOR!! Read more

Good place for happy hour, friendly staff, if you're looking for Mexican food you will be a lil disappointed by this place... because it's more like tex mex food, food was good if you thinking I'm tex mex. Drinks were good. Read more

We came here on a Sunday evening, it was a nice ambiance, we sat over at the tables but they do have a bar area. Very cozy... place, waitress was very nice and please be patient because it does seem like they are understaffed. For starters, we orderedsteak quesadillas and they were incredible, I would?ve liked a little more steak but that?s just be being greedy. It was servedwith the house guac and sour cream. We were also given a good amount of chips and salsa. The main courses were amazing. Iordered the Tres Amigos. Everything was great and the refried beans were boooomb. My wife ordered this combo plate with steakand shrimp, that came with different sides and a container of warm tortillas. Now the drinks? A1!! I ordered the $10 MangoFrozen Margarita and my wife got the strawberry?. INCREDIBLE. Will be back just for the drinks over at the bar. If you?re in thearea or just moving to it, come here and enjoy your night with yourself or loved ones. You won?t regret it. Update: Guacamoleis greaaaat. They used some type of corn flake outer shell for the fried ice cream, not sure if I liked it too much. It did comewith these really good tortilla chip like chips and that was great. Burrito was solid. No complaints there. Read more
