El Acapulco

This place really hit the spot when we came. We had come from a long day of hiking a few hours away and we were starving. We immediately started out with some chips and queso which were delicious. We all got our entrees and didn't really talk much we just focused on the food. The food was pretty tasty! The staff was also really nice and accommodating, especially since we had a couple of kids with us. Overall this is a very solid option in Etown when you're looking for some Mexican food with a chill atmosphere.

Thank goodness first impressions aren't everything. Shortly after being seated, we were served the requisite chips and salsa. The chips were just ok but the salsa was pitiful. It tasted like someone opened a can of tomato sauce and poured it into a bowl. The "hot" salsa was no better - tomato sauce with a little hot sauce mixed in. Luckily things got better, much better. We order the burrito de carnitas to share. We were served an extra large burrito absolutely STUFFED with delicious, tender, juicy pork. The burrito was covered in a mild green sauce and served with a mound of lettuce, guacamole and red ripe tomatoes. I really could have eaten a little more but if we had had chips and salsa accompanying the burrito, it definitely would have been more than enough. The parking lot looked full but the restaurant is very large and we were seated immediately. Service was quick though not overly attentive.We stumbled upon El Acapulco by accident. I would go back for the burrito Dr carnitas but this time with no expectations for the chips and salsa.

When we have a hankering for Mexican food, El Acapulco is one of our favorite places to go. My family staple entrée is the Chori Pollo. It's cheesy with a good helping of chicken and chorizo mixed with rice. It always made right and delicious.I venture off and tried something new. The Gallo Feliz was packing the heat. Chicken, pineapple and jalapeño with the seeds still intact grilled up and served with rice and guacamole salad/pico. The pineapple absorbed some of the heat from the jalapeño giving it a since sweet heat and the chicken was well seasoned. The jalapeño were just the right amount of heat. The rice and guacamole salad helped cool down along with the side of avocado slices. I definitely should have order some tortillas maybe next time. If you want to turn up the heat the server said they can make it with Serrano peppers as well. For me likely the jalapeño peppers were hot enough.

My go-to Mexican restaurant in the area, staff is always friendly, seldom crowded, and best of all, quiet.

Food was typical....service was fast but nothing special! Wasn't disappointed with the visit but nothing stood out that would make me want to go back!

The food is good. Service is good, friendly, and fast. This place is always busy so you know it's good. My wife and I tried a few different dishes and they are always good. The burrito California is awesome.

El Acapulco - PRICE WARNING: This restaurant has gone berserk & raised it's pricing ridiculously high. For 3 people without alcohol drinks my bill for 3 people was over $75. Before for the same items my bill was around $38. Also the staff has all changed and they are not the friendly people they once were. Your lucky to get a smile out of them. I won't be back.

Good food Good service Friendly staff A little snug as for seating All in all a very good restaurant

Best Mexican Restaurant in Etown!!! Best service and quality of food!!! Ramaro will make sure your dinning experience is the best!!

Been here a few times... Seems that the regulars get priority over any other guests... The food is good when they get your order right... Pricey for what it is... Out of the three times I have been in recent months only once was good service and good food.
