So, this Mexican restaurant is my guilty pleasure. Nothing beats heading to Acapulco on a Friday night after a long week of work for some great food and margaritas.
The service is fast, efficient, and no frills. On a crowded night, they can turn some serious volume but they are always very friendly in getting you to your table and then not rushing you once you are there, even if the lobby is packed.
It seems like this place is the "Cheers" of Lebanon. You always see people you know there and it seems to be the closest thing to a local watering hole that I've found in this historic Ohio town.
Just coming from a little league game? No problem. Just got off work? Come on in. On your way to a movie and need to get in and out fast? They can do it. Celebrating a birthday? Prepare for some singing, a free dessert, and your picture being placed on the wall with thousands of others. This place is definitely casual and coming in whatever you want is completely acceptable. And kids can jump around and no one cares.
And now the best part. The food is legit and the selection is over the top. The menu is actually quite large but they have done a better job of grouping the selections by form (enchilada, tacos, burritos) or meat product (steak, chicken, seafood, etc...). Here are my favorites. Enchiladas Monterrey are your standard chicken enchiladas but covered in chori-queso, which is manna from heaven or in other words a mixture of chorizo (Mexican sausage), cheese, salsa, and pineapple. Anything ending in "Monterrey" will have a similar topping. Another favorite is Arroz con Camarones (Rice with Shrimp). It's a mixture of grilled shrimp, onions, mushrooms, and a chipotle cheese sauce. And my other favorite is Tacos al Pastor- steak cooked in a spicy sauce with pica de gallo and tomatillo sauce. My Venezuelan friend said this dish rivals his hometown cooking so I trust him.
And don't forget the coupons if you are going Sunday -Thursday. Lebanon Warrior card gets you 10% off or online they have some other coupons for 1/2 off an entree.
Overall, one of my favorite places in Lebanon! See you there. -

Pretty good food, good prices, but iffy service and decor. The good -- the menu is varied and often quite spicy, the prices are fair, and the portions are huge. The bad -- service seemed disorganized and subpar. We had three people come by and ask if our drink order had been taken in the several minutes it took our waiter to actually bring drinks, then when the drinks came, our waiter spilled a water on one guest without much apology. The decor is basically American diner and a bit run down.
On the other hand, as said, the portions are huge, there are a ton of choices, the food is good, and the margaritas and beers are huge too, so it's definitely worth a try if that's your thing. The chorizo cheese sauce is really good, so anything with it should be great. We had the carnitas acapulco (really tasty pork, with a lot of jalepeno flavor) and the pollo acapulco (IMHO, a little oversalted, but still good).
All in all, it reminds me a lot of Cazadores locally, but I would give Cazadores a slight edge in food. -

They have good selection and the staff was fairly friendly, have a nice drink menu..my only issue (which will sadly keep me away and is only useful for vegetarians.) They do infact have a vegetarian section on their menu...BUT... after eating some of the food it became apparent that they either use the same pan for the veggie dishes as they do the meat dishes, or...they use animal fat for grease purposes. I was in a bit of pain and could not stand the taste of this. But it would be a very nice and very goood place for non vegetarians.

Delicious food. My boyfriend and I just LOVE the Chorizo Queso there. mmmmm! Gets pretty busy some nights but it's never an outrageous wait. I've been there once and some crabby teenage girl was our waitress. I didn't like her very much but everyone else we've dealt with there has anyways be great.

This is by far the best Mexican I have had. The Restaurant is really clean and the staff is nice. The menu is big, but not as big as the food portions!
