Acapulco Mexican Grill
Nachos Deluxe. Nice portion, lots of toppings...but with queso instead of melted shredded cheese, not specified in the menu. Got soggy.
Fajita Taco Salad. Looks okay in the photo but underneath was a soggy, soppy mess. Barely any chicken, very little lettuce. And WET.

One of my favorite spots! BIG burritos. BIG margs. Can't go wrong with that. The steak burrito covered in queso is my favorite. I did have one weird experience. My friend I was with had a soda cap in his burrito... the manger quickly replaced and apologized. I'll still came back often. Food is amazing.

Acapulco Mexican Grill is a charming Hispanic local Mexican restaurant on the west side of Lawrence. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with warm hospitality and an ambiance that transported me to the streets of Mexico.

Friendly staff and quick service but food was just bland in my opinion. Chicken enchiladas did not have a lot of meat and red sauce was blah. As we know mexican food is like bbq and pizza, very subjective. Wont be coming back.

Lawrence, Kansas: a quick overnight for us between Nashville and Colorado. We were craving some good Mexican food; one of us having just finished Senior year at Univ. of Alabama, Tuscaloosa (a town significantly lacking in decent Mexican food)...we were long overdue. Pretty good ratings, Acapulco looked like a sure thing.What was great - their chips and salsa was pretty dang great. The chips were warm (I personally love that) and though there wasn't much spice/heat to the salsa, it was quite tasty. I'll say our server was pretty great, too. Unfortunately, that's where it ends.What was not great - my sister wanted a salad and ordered the Fajita Taco Salad without the shell. What she got was a soggy mess. It looked like soup! It had only the smallest amount of chicken and lettuce - seriously, very little at all - and the bottom of the bowl looked like someone had poured a cup of super watery sour cream in! She said it didn't taste bad, but it sure looked awful. I ordered the Nachos Duluxe. It's a great portion size (huge) and has plenty of toppings but it's covered in melty queso/nacho cheese sauce. The menu just says "cheese nachos topped with beef, chicken and beans" so I was picturing melted shredded cheese. Some might like the queso! I'm not a fan - I think it just makes everything soggy. I ate enough to satisfy the craving and fill my belly but had I known it was queso, I would have ordered a burrito or something else.

As soon as we walked in we were seated by the window, although there isn't much of a view this was a nice low-key, casual dining experience. The salsa has a great flavor and kind of chunky how I like it! The chips didn't have the best flavor, but still complimented the salsa well. I ordered a raspberry margarita on the rocks, and it had a good flavor (please note it's definitely on the sweet side). I ordered the Enchiladas Nortenas, which comes with 2 chicken and 1 cheese enchilada, but I opted to have all of them chicken. The rice was phenomenal, the beans were regular, and the enchiladas were great; packed with chicken and topped with cheese sauce, onions, and jalapeños. My guest ordered the fajitas Jalisco with shrimp on the side, since they're allergic to shell fish. I happily indulged on the shrimp, and it was perfectly cooked alongside being well seasoned. I also was able to taste the actual fajita Jalisco and it was cooked very well. The chicken and steak were both tender and easy to chew. The vegetables still had a little crunch, and the tortillas were still hot. This was my first visit, but I can see myself being a regular here since it isn't in a high volume/traffic area. Thank you Acapulco!

It was just a Mexican food kinda day. I have been to most all the Mexican restaurants in Lawrence and enjoyed them all. A friend suggested Acapulco Mexican Grill and figured, "Why not?" Yep, we made the right choice. It wasn't crowded but steady. I am not sure how long they have been open but they seem to have a solid flow of customers. We had no problem getting a seat and getting served. Even though the weather was nice, we opted for dining inside and not on the patio. Spacious seating, noise level was perfect and we were off to a good start. The server was prompt, efficient and professional. He knew his stuff, too. He was very attentive and he refilled drinks without being asked. He even offered a Go-Cup for my tea. It's all in the details. I ordered a combination plate that had two enchiladas plus rice and beans. I added ala carte cheese enchilada which was so yummy! Actually, it was probably the best cheese enchilada I've ever had. I loved that the enchiladas were not swimming in too much sauce. They had a reasonable amount which let you taste the actual food.The beans and rice were... different. I am very sensitive to jalapeño and the beans had a faint taste of jalapeño. It wasn't very strong but it was noticeable. It did not linger, either, which is always good. The service was top rate, food delicious, the restaurant was cozy and not loud. Great little spot. I mean, after all, isn't everyday a Mexican food kinda day?

I had high hopes for this restaurant, but I was disappointed. Service was slow, and we arrived at 5:00. Food was just warm and the cheese dip was watery. The drinks were fine.

Food was not good, taco was soggy, also had 3 different enchilada combo plate...they all tasted the same. Much, much better Mexican food in town, including Tex-Mex chains actually. Service was equally poor...it's one of those places where they think they are doing you a favor by taking your money...very rude when trying to place an order and not attentive at all.
