Great Food, Great Servers
by norene

Joes is the best! The chili conqueso is the best in town. The taco meat melts in your mouth. Everything is homemade from the chips to the salsa. I only wish you could buy the salsa at the grocery. The servers are great and have been there for years. Don't miss this hidden gem.
- Pros: food, price
- Cons: crowded lunch
Cold chips, No Service!

Expected better of a prominent downtown indy mexican restaurant but no dice. Wait was long but servers could've cared less to do their job. Sat downt to hold a sticky menu and to have placed before us cold, stale chips. After a quick glance at the over-priced dishes, we made quick exit. Our serve probably didn't even notice we cut out. Thanks Joe but no mo.

3/27/09 2:15pm visit....cashier/hotess sat us in area with no waitress. Help from Kitchen area notified us and moved us to area with waitress coverage. When we went to pay, hostess/cashier would not put down her personal cell and/or stop talking on it to cash us out. She actually stopped more than once, and concentrated on call during transaction. Won't bother to go back and spend my $$ to help pay the salary of rude help like that........!!
- Pros: food was good and hot/fast service
- Cons: hostess/ cashier rude rude rude

Worst "Mexican" Restaurant EVER
by goodspeeder
February 26, 2009
This was, by far, the very worst "mexican" restaurant I've ever been to. The "three nacho" meal consists of literally three small nachos, with a spoonfull of meat and cheese on each. It averages to $2 a nacho. The service is awful, rude, and worth not tipping. I went with a party of four and each person had terrible food. I am appauld a place like this can stay in business.
- Pros: The service is so awful you save money by not tipping.
- Cons: This will create the worst eating experience

WOW
That was terrible!!
I never wrote a review in my life until now.
I went there because I was told it's fast and I was on my lunchbreak at work.
I met my boyfriend there just today for lunch and I'm sitting here miserable from the crud I ate
He is home sick ..throwing his guts up.
We both ordered 3 taco lunch meal. I ordered mine with beans in lieu of meat.
The "meat" on his taco resembled groudn coffee beans and according to him tasted nasty.
THe beans on mine were laced so heavily with onions it made me gag.
The chips were stale. The bbq flavored hot sauce was disgusting.
He ordered a mt dew, and got a pepsi.
It wasn't fast either. It took 25 min for them to shovel slop on to a plate.
I'm sick
He's sick
Gross Gross Gross
Never never never never going back.
My stomach is chruning. I'm sick.
THe place is dirty as hell too.
UGH.. gross nasty nasty food!!!!
- Pros: nothing
Amazingly awful

I've never written a review before, but can't help it. It was awful. The chips were stale and the salsa tasted like barbeque sauce. it was so bad, I didn't even bother to complain, since it was obviously how they wanted it to taste.
I ordered the chimichanga, it tasted like a frozen burrito that had been toasted in an oven (the sort that I bought in college and cooked in the dorm). It had chilli on top of it that had the same barbeque taste as the salsa.
The beer was cold though and the staff seemed unsurprised when i had one bite and then left the rest. The didn't charge me which was nice.
I'm honestly surprised anyone else was even in the place. I'm new here, but will never return.

Acapulco Joe's
by mumsyrox

Seriously-salsa in a squeeze bottle???? NASTY! It tasted like Ortega toaco sauce in a jar. Marsh deli has better salsa-fresh with CILANTRO! The Quesedilla (beef) was like small amounts of roast beef chunks (definitely not steak) on a soggy tortilla loaded with crunchy onions and a pile of white flavorless cheese. Both the quesedilla and the taquitos(chicken) lacked flavor-they were both quite bland, as was the salsa and guacamole. We asked for ice water twice, and finally received one glass for both of us! Does anyone know where to get decent flavorful Mexican food in this city? Help!!
- Pros: nice outside seating
- Cons: food was so very bland!
This is the First and LAST TIME we will visit Acapulco Joe's

We took our teens and some friends to Acapulco Joe's last night and it was hands down one of the very worst dining experiences we have ever had. We waited FOREVER just to place a drink order. Someone from back in the kitchen came out and tried to take our orders but was extremely rude to our kids. Once we finally placed our food orders we waited, and waited, and waited to get our food. They were not busy on a Thursday night so I could not understand why it took so long. Any other El - whatever restaurants we go to have your drinks and food out right away and make your dining experience fun. This place is horrible and I do not recommend it to anyone. To top it off the food was bad and 3 of the kids in our group did not even eat at all. It was over priced and a waste of our time.
- Pros: $1 Draft Thursday
- Cons: Slow (rude) service and bad food
