My favorite Mexican restaraunt in Bradenton and Sarasota. Delicious and authentic food for reasonable prices with a great atmosphere! The staff is very accommodating.. try their fajitas!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Food, Great Drinks & Amazing Service!
I had a wonderful experience at Acapulco Mexican Restaurant in Lakewood Ranch! 🇲🇽🌮🍹
The atmosphere was fun, lively, and welcoming, and the food was delicious. But what really made the experience special was the excellent service from Maria Gabriella, the bartender. She was friendly, attentive, and really knew how to make a great cocktail!
She made me a Paloma Fuego, and it was absolutely fantastic! 🍹🔥 A perfect combination of refreshing citrus flavor with just the right amount of kick. Definitely a drink I would order again!
Thank you, Maria Gabriella, for making our visit even more enjoyable. Great job! 👏
If you’re in the Lakewood Ranch area and looking for good Mexican food, great drinks, and a fun atmosphere, Acapulco is definitely worth a visit!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The food here is great. We order take-out pretty often and we are always pleased. The only negative thing I'll say is we don't go in person because the music is SO loud, which is a shame because the restaurant itself is very nice and the decorations are cool!
I used to come here regularly for the discounted Monday specials, but unfortunately the prices have gone up while the quality has gone way down. The refried beans had the consistency of baby food, and the tacos were so greasy they were soaking wet and completely mushy. It was a very disappointing meal and nothing like the food I remember. I hope they can improve because this used to be one of my favorite places.
The food is great, always and good potions. The prices are good too. The restaurant is fun, its very festive. They also have a lot of smart offers for customers, especially now when pockets are tight. They even have specials for kids. I’m not going on Thursdays, kids eat free.:) But the service is horrendous. I was there last night, Tuesday, July 20, 2026, with six people. It took a long time for the waitress to even come over and say. ‘be with you in a minute’. Which was much longer than a minute. No water for the table, not even offered, and it was a hot day.We ordered guacamole for the table. I had to ask for dishes. You don’t want six people dipping and double dipping into a bowl of guacamole- disgusting. -My order was wrong. I had to wait for my food while everybody was eating. So annoying. She never came back to ask us if we wanted another drink, never came back to ask
if we wanted dessert. Waited for her to clear up the table and ask us if we needed anything else. She was pretty much absent the entire time. Either you’re shortstaffed or she’s lazy. I didn’t get her name, but I’ll never sit in her section again. I left her a tip and I’m even sorry that I did -very disappointed in the service. It’s a great restaurant and you really should have servers that respect and appreciate your patrons cause this one definitely did not. I question going back, so do my friends because of this. Everything is important in a restaurant the atmosphere, the food and especially the server. I give her a 1.5 out or 5 rating. She was simply terrible.
