Editorial Review for Acapulco Joe's Mexican Foods – by Christy Buena

In Short
Serving combination plates, strip steak, burgers and fried ice cream, guests flock to the eatery with south of the border décor. The atmosphere is described as friendly and fun where locals can enjoy good food at fair prices. Aside from its Mexican cuisine, the restaurant also serves American classics including biscuits and gravy. A full bar is offered along with takeout so guests in a hurry can step in and eat their food on the go.

User Reviews for Acapulco Joe's Mexican Foods

2 Star Rating: Below Average

05/09/2008 Posted by JenInIndy

I have been here twice - both times with high expectations. I kept hearing how fabulous the food was - both lunch/dinner and their biscuits and gravy for breakfast. So, I tried both types of meals. The lunch food was below average - just a step above Taco Bell. The breakfast was such a disappointment. The gravy was good, but the biscuits were doughy and undercooked. The coffee that was initially brought to our table was stone cold and we waited at least five minutes to get someone's attention to let the know. Apparently the switch that was supposed to remain on overnight was turned off. To top things off, the place smelled musty and the bathrooms were filthy. Needless to say, I will never go back.

Pros: Reasonably priced, convenienct downtown location

Cons: Sub-par food; mediocre service, and dirty facilities

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

I made a 25 person reservation for my birthday more than a week in advance for the outside deck. The reason I chose this place was b/c of the outside seating. A woman even called me from the restaurant the morning of to confirm my "outside reservation for 25 people". When I arrived, they had 2 tables set up INSIDE and ended up giving away one of my tables b/c not all of us were there at the same time. I asked the owner if we could sparatically sit outside once tables started opening and she said it wouldn't be a problem, well it was a problem b/c I never got to sit outside until the last 5 minutes. I was infuriated. Aren't reservations suppose to RESERVE your seat? They did absolutely nothing to accommodate their mistake. Their margaritas are straight mixer with a drop of cheap tequila, they played God Bless America every 20 minutes (horrific), no festive music was ever playing and someone kept obnoxiously yelling over their PA. It was a nightmare. I will NEVER EVER EVER go back.

Pros: We had a very nice waitress.

Cons: Customer service is heinous.
