You will leave satisfied and FULL!. This place is just wonderful! The owners obviously take pride in serving fabulous food. The waitstaff is average. I love ordering something different everytime I go. You must start with the cheese dip. Even if you are out in downtown Stillwater for the day, eat your meal at Acapulco!

Good if you like frozen dinner meals or have no taste buds. Ok, I'm Mexican, and know what Mexican food should taste like. This was trully a horrible experience. My wife ordered an enchilada and taco, and couldn't finish either because it was so bad. She lost her appetite for the rest of the day. The enchilada sauce looked like it came straight from a can and tasted the same. I ordered fajitas, and they were pretty bland for a dish that should be full of flavor. The rice and beans were reminiscent of school cafeteria food. The best thing was the chips, which seemed homemade. The salsa was just a bit more spicier than ketchup.

If you have a sensitive stomach, then this may be the place for you. I'd rate this place lower than one star if I could. You won't ever find me in this place again.

Great place. Good margaritas (if you use the top shelf stuff), excellent food, good service. We come here quite often when we need our "Mexican fix"!

One of my favorite places. I always take friends here when they come to town. The food is well presented and good portions at a good price. It is very popular....

blah mexican. My first time there I ordered my favorite mexican meal, enchiladas and was letdown big time. They were dry with barely any cheese. They also lacked mexican flavor and pizazz. However, I decided to try this place a second time and this time the service was embarrassing. When my group of 8 requested more salsa we were informed that they were out. This would have been understandable considering we were dining quite late... except the servers were pouring bottles of salsa(at least 20 of them) right before our eyes! I will not give this average place a third chance, not worth the time or money.

Icky. I've tried Acapulco a few times thinking my first and second bad experiences there were just flukes, but obviously not. Time and time again my enchaladas were not warm all the way through...the cheese inside was still in it's grated form, and still felt cool like it was straight from the fridge. It's crowded as well and prices aren't that great....La Casita has got all of my business from now on, their food is always nice and hot!

In the mood for mexican!!. The food at the Coon Rapids Acapulco restaurant is fantastic. The chips are freshly made as is the rest of the food on the menu. Try the seafood enchilada. It is very busy and the dining room can be quite noisy, but you can also opt for the patio in warm weather. The service is excellent.

Ole'. Acapulco Mexican Restaurant in Coon Rapids is the best authentic mexican food in the Twin Cities. The friendly services provided by the Spanish speaking servers along with great food and great prices is by far the best in town. The margaritas are pretty good as well. Try the white cheese sauce--yummy!!!

Never had better!. Every item I have tried on the menu is simply fantastic! I have mexican friends who say this place is the most authentic mexican restaurant they have ever been to. Try the Chimichanga and Strawberry margaritas!
