I Tried the Food, and I Am Hooked
DESCRIPTION: Yeah, I tried a few of the dishes at this restaurant, and I am hooked, practically. The waiters are very friendly; the whole place is spanking clean all the time. I would recommend this place for any meal. I will offer a tip: try the atol de elote with your meal, or the jugo de mara on (cashew juice).

Go for the Chips
DESCRIPTION: To my practiced palate, this new location for Acapulcos wasn't as good as the one in Sudbury, but still better than most. Very open seating plan - good or bad depending on your preference. Very efficient and friendly service. Chips and salsa are the best in Greater Boston. Ask for the salsa picante if you dare!

A Wonderful Dining Experience
DESCRIPTION: Last evening my wife and I stopped at Cactus Pete's for a nite out.. What we had was a wonderful evening. The waitress (Sarah) was very pleasant, and friendly, a true asset to the establishment. As we are not big alchohol drinkers, we had a diet soda and an unsweetened ice tea.. The complimentary peanuts were a nice touch. Our waitress took our orders, and efficiently worked the other tables nearby. Our appetizer was 'Corn Fritters'. These were fantastic. A different batter than most, with the touch of cinnamon. Six medium size (ok, large size) fritters were accompanied with warm (imitation) maple syrup (Real Maple syrup is unheard of in most places). Following up with our house salads of mixed green, tomato wedges, cucumber slices and red onions (and a very good peppercorn dressing). Our meals followed after our salads had been consumed (and dishes removed). My wife had the Teryaki(sp) chicken, which was two good sized chicken breasts basted with a nice teryaki sauce (a container of additional sauce was on the plate for dipping). The menu stated that the dish was accompanied with rice, but was requested to be switched for the red bliss oven brown potatoes. The potatoes are worth the switch.. My order of the 14oz Sirloin strip was awesome. Ordered medium, it came just as requested. A very tender, and well marbled steak, it nearly melted in the mouth. We both were quite full, and took 1/2 our dinners home for lunch today (along with 2 of the corn fritters). I can't say enough about our waitress.. She was very pleasant, and efficient. Beverages refilled even before the last sip was taken, table dishes cleared promptly, and very helpful on relaying daily specials.. Overall a VERY enjoyable meal.

Awesome
DESCRIPTION: I am originally from the West Coast. There are a lot of authentic Mexican places there. Since my move here to MA, I haven't been able to find anything worth my time or money until Acapulcos. Every chance I get, I'm there.

Mediocre at Best
DESCRIPTION: I have given this restaurant a fair shot, visiting five times in the past year. They are totally overpriced for what they offer, and while the food is more "authentic" than, say, the Chi Chi's of the world, it is nowhere near as good as some of the places in Boston. The serving sizes are way too small for what you pay (e.g., the quesadillas).

Not So Good on First Try
DESCRIPTION: Wait staff was ill-prepared and wanted to serve the appetizers after the main meal????? It appeared that the waiter and other staff spoke very, very little English. Meals were OK, but nothing special. We'll give it one more try.

Authentic Mexican
DESCRIPTION: I can't say enough about the Acapulco. I've traveled out west and thought I'd never find Mexican that could measure up to the authentic food I ate on my travels but the Acapulco is authentic Mexican in your backyard. The wait staff is friendly and accommodating. The food is great and reasonably priced. I've taken more friends to the Acapulco than I can remember and every one of them has loved it. In fact, when they come back to visit they ask if we can go the Acapulco again.
