Acapulco has the best queso. Period. We ate lunch on the balcony (with a view of the harbor) in the middle of the afternoon, and since we came during an off-time, there was no wait and our service was speedy. Our waitress, Maribell, was awesome! She gave us tips on cooking Mexican food and was incredibly friendly. Next time I... More

We decided to try this place out during our stay. We sat out on the balcony because the smell inside was very...powerful...it smelled like Pine-sol. To be honest, if I sat inside it would have given me a migraine after a few minutes, it was that strong. The food was good but not good enough that I'd go back next... More

We showed up in the evening on Cinco de Mayo, so I understood waiting for a table. We only waited about 20 minutes, not bad. It was packed. When we were called for a table, it was not in the smoking (outdoor) section as requested. The two smokers in our party decided that they could abstain. We waited for about... More

Operate a local business in St. Augustine and decided to take staff out for a fun night of food and drinks. Acapulco is a perfect location as we reserved the outside balcony which overlooks the bay along with the fort and the bridge of lions. Maribell our server was great and provided everything we needed to have a great time... More

We absolutely love Mexican food and were so happy we had dinner here one night. The service was wonderful and the food fantastic. My husband had chile rellenos that were so good. I could not believe their flavor that just popped in your mouth. We shared with an appetizer made of cheese, poblano peppers and chorizo. Again the flavor was... More

I have never had a burrito as good as this place makes them! The view is great and the service is even better! I have been to Mexico and have never had Mexican food this great! The only down fall is they open late on Sundays.

Went for a second time to this restaurant, first time was in January 2012. Loved the location, right across the Castillo de San Marcos and the Matanzas River, in the historic district. So the view is fabulous. The restaurant looks great as well, with beautiful Mexican art and the huge wooden beams and rafters. It really gave me the impression... More

Ask for the Mexican waiter, he will give you the best advice for food, he will even give you information about tours and places.
