Acapulco Mexican Cuisine

This restaurant seems to be a local favorite, though I suspect that might be due somewhat to the ample room for groups to get together and the karaōke on the weekends. I ordered the enchiladas barrio and it tasted good but it wasn’t anything special. Service was extremely speedy though. Our food came out very quickly and I was asked many times if I needed anything else. Ordered a tall beer without realizing it was a full liter so make sure you actually want that much beer before you order that. Overall it’s a solid Mexican restaurant but I don’t think the food is worth a large amount of extra hype.

Ate here when driving through. The previous reviews I saw online said it was very good. Came away extremely disappointed and some of the food was borderline un-​eatable. Skip this place unless bland Mexican food is your thing.

Good Mexican food. Unexpectedly good for a busy travel exit. Service was ok, not great. Ordered burrito grande. One chicken and one steak. Husband said steak was very good. My chicken was good as well and not dry like it could be sometimes. Chips and salsa were average but they serve some kind of spicy ranch style dip as well that was good. Down side was no rice with burritos. That would have been a nice side. We were traveling and ate here. We would eat here again when in the area.

Best restaurant in this area. Very good service, food and price.

If you like Tex Mex, this is probably your thing. Service was ok, we never needed for anything. I was served a red wine in a champagne glass, which was weird. I requested a wine glass (nicely — I told him it tasted better in a wine glass). The lady at the table next to me had a red wine glass, so I knew they had them. :-) Salsa is very mild, as you would expect from Tex Mex) and the chips were served warm and tasty, not too salty. They have a great outdoor patio with lots of ceiling fans and it was nice outside so that was a bonus. It is next door to a Wal-​Mart and several other businesses. Loved their patio the most.

I’d write a better review if I could actually eat there.
I’m in town on business for the next few weeks. I always try to enjoy local restaurants when I travel, so I asked the locals where to go. I was told repeatedly to try La Acupulco, as apparently a local favorite I would go try it.
I looked them up on the internet, I checked out the pile of menus and coupons in the lobby of my hotel, I heard everybody say that they liked it, so I decided to go eat there.
I drove to the restaurant to find that it was closed and in the middle of renovation, with the parking lot filled with debris and a crude handwritten sign taped on the windows saying that it had just closed that day for 2 weeks of renovation.
I had checked out their website before going there, they hadn’t listed their 2-​week closing on their website with listing their hours, or listed it anywhere on their page (which apparently hadn’t been updated in over a year).
I asked all the various locals that recommended the place that I work with and are on staff at the hotels that I am staying at, and none of them knew it was being closed for two weeks for renovation. They apparently did an extremely poor job of conveying to the general public that they were closing for two weeks in what had to be a long-​planned action (you don’t get that many contractors to a building overnight).
So, for the total failure of customer service and public relations in making no effort to communicate their renovation efforts, preventing me from eating there, I have no choice but to call this a one-​star place.

Surely did have a nice lunch here of chicken tacos and asked for fried jalapenos, which they did a nice job with. I shall return.

The quality of the food has dropped a little since Gustavo left. They never fail to get at least one part of our order wrong, today we ordered the «Willies Chicken» without tomatoes and mushrooms, you guessed it, it came with both. I’m fairly sure they use Ragu spaghetti sauce as a base for their salsa, not a fan.

Great value. Clean. Neat. Good waiter. Wife loved Pollo Rancho. Good vegetarian options too!

Friendly staff. Good food. Food was a bit bland.

One of the best restaurants in La Grange. Once again they did not disappoint. The minute you sit down a server appears to take your drink order and bring some great hot chips and salsa. We chose the lunch burrito w/​stuffed pepper and re-​fried beans. A real deal at $ 6.99. The service is outstanding and so is the food.

My husband and I go here a lot. It’s our favorite restaurant in LaGrange. I am totally surprised at the bad reviews because we always get good food and they usually have our food within ten minutes. I recommend the chimichangas.

It appears as if others have had trouble with their service — sad to know that I am not the first. As far as the food, it was just ok and it was overpriced for the quality. Won’t go back for the food. Oh, and if you like smelling a lot of tobacco SMOKE, go sit on the patio. Soooooo NASTY!

Love the food here, always quick, I’ve never waited more than 5 minutes for my good, waiters are amazing.

If your definition of Mexican food starts with melted Velveeta mixed with Pace Picante sauce and ends with week-​old tortilla chips paired with salsa that tastes suspiciously like Ragu, this is the place for you. If you like your margarita mix sold to you as though it has even a molecule of tequila in it, when it’s as virgin as the newly fallen snow, this is your restaurant.
If Taco Bell is a little too authentic a Mexican meal, eat at this dumbed-​down atrocity of a food trough.
I really like Americanized Mexican restaurants (Fiesta Mexicana in Mt. Washington has, it would appear, set the bar for quality), but one meal at this place has made me rethink the entire genre. The food was the worst of its type my wife and I have ever eaten (and we’ve eaten some garbage). Service was surly from the very beginning and they never got my wife’s order right: we finally just gave up and made do.
I see the high rating this place has both here and on Urbanspoon (where Cracker Barrels are often rated the Best In Town) and I despair that people think this «food» is good, or even representative of our town in particular, and Kentucky in general. Maybe we went on a bad night, a night when the chef and our waiter had discovered they were engaged to the same woman and were taking it out on the diners. But, looking back on that night, the people around us were joyfully shoveling down the sludge on their plates without any hesitation or gripe.
This restaurant is absolute shit. Dare to dream, and aim, higher, La Grange. We deserve better.

Just another craptastic «Mexican» restaurant in Kentucky. Why do all the ‘mexican’ joints that pop up in this part of the country taste like Taco Bell? If these people would just go to Roberto’s Taco Shop (a mex. fast food chain in San Diego) they could fathom what real Mexican tastes like.
Please just make a decent carne asada burrito — please!!!
