Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

went to nuevo acapulco with a party of five on a friday night a little after 8pm. the restaurant was a lot bigger than i expected, and it was packed; we had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. once seated, i couldn't stop eating the chips and salsa. the chips were nice and crispy - definitely homemade, and the salsa was fresh, and not too spicy. yum. and unlike some other mexican restaurants around town, they don't charge you for refills. nuevo has a pretty big menu, but i was surprised to find they didn't serve enchiladas mole - a pretty standard mexican dish. i did like that they offered one, two and three enchilada meals - for me, one is never enough, and three is too much. after everyone else's food arrived, i had food envy. my cheese and onion enchilada plate looked drab in comparison to the sizzling fajitas and chimichangas that came to our table. my enchiladas were just okay; i wouldn't order them again. we also ordered a pitcher of the house margarita. it definitely packs a punch. service was pretty good too - our waiter was attentive, and provided us with water pitchers. overall, decent mexican food - i'd give it 3.5 stars if i could.

I like this place. It isn't fancy, they have good margaritas and the food is great (usually covered in sauce and cheese). Service is typically good, though it can get crowded.
(4)Heather B.
My favorite Mexican in Cleveland. The arroz con pollo cannot be beat. I get it without the tortillas because you really don't need them. The enchiladas and other fare is also very good. Their salsa is fresh with tomatoes, cilantro and onions...sometimes can be a little heavy on the pepper, but not too hot.
(5)Tony E.
Good food at a good price, but not gourmet.
(4)Mari H.
This is my all-time favorite Mexican restaurant in Ohio. Although I live in Boston, now, each time I go back, I try to make it a point to go to Nuevo. LOVE IT!!!
(4)Mark G.
I've traveled all over the world. Mexico is the only country where I've never had a bad meal. I've got a love/hate relationship with Nuevo. I hate the fact that they don't use shredded chicken. Cubed chicken chunks have no place in Mexican food. But I love their spicy green salsa which is available by request. One time they claimed they ran out of it but I asked the waiter for some in Spanish and the waiter "found some." You know it's an authentic restaurant when you have to order in their native language to get special treatment. This is the best Mexican restaurant I've found in CLEvage. If you have found a better one in the area please contact me. I give Nuevo the Joe "Bean" Esposito award. You're the best around . Nothing is gonna ever keep you down.
(5)Jennifer H.
This is a great, family-friendly place for pretty authentic Mexican food. Get there early because the place fills up fast! The margaritas are delicious, and the food even better. The location has always struck me as a bit weird in front of that shady Days Inn, but nonetheless, this is a fabulous place to eat!!!
(5)Jason S.
I am from San Diego California and I was very concerned that I would not be able to find Mexican food of the caliber I was used to. It took me 3 months but I found the place, excellent flavors and margaritas that rival my home town. All the other reviewers are correct parking is sometimes difficult and the lines can be long but trust me they are well worth it.
(5)Ben K.
The original and busier of their two locations (the other's in Berea), this is as good as you're gonna get in Mexican grub in the Cleveland area. You'll be waiting a bit for a seat during prime hours Thursday through Saturday, but that's about the only time you'll wait or not be enjoying the establishment. Get into the bar while waiting and get started on the really good margaritas ... or anything else from their full bar. After you're seated and you order you'll start to see what everyone likes most. Even the chips and salsa are a little better here because they're made in-house. Prices are pretty reasonable and the food's great. Maybe the most underrated feature of a casual dining restaurant is the speed by which the food gets to your table after you order and Nuevo Acapulco delivers here in a big way. Dishes are hot, fresh and in large portions. Some dishes just have to be split or chosen on the basis that the other half you don't eat is your lunch the following day. Why don't I give it 5 stars then if I like it so much? First, For as many times as I've been there, I've experienced a way below average bathroom cleanliness too often. I keep hoping to open the door to this pretty small men's bathroom and see it completely remodeled but it's always the same sketchiness that appears. Second... the menu. When you open it up you see lots of items. Then you realize that a lot of items are very similar or are simply repeated again in another section of the menu. Bang for the buck is good - unless you need a side of sour cream or guac. Good grief people, its a condiment not a happy hour beer special. If you dislike noisy eating, you may struggle with the decibels within. So this just depends on if you're group is into having a good time or if they're into talking and relaxing. Those interested in the latter should definitely try to go during non-peak times. Lastly, the service staff - pretty good, but inconsistent. There are some ultra-friendlies here that really help you have a good experience, and there are some who don't even make eye contact. If you've never been - you really should.
(4)Tom F.
Come for the margaritas, stay for the food. Everything I've had here has been well prepared and the service is always reliable. As others have said, expect a short wait on the big date nights, but it's worth it. They're always cool with accommodating larger groups.
(4)C.J. S.
By far, hands down, the best Mexican restaurant in cleveland, in Ohio, and possibly in the Midwest! Everyone is great there, the food is the best, the owner actually talks to customers, and is friendly. I go there quite often, (at least a few times a month, for many years), and I have never had a bad experience. The decor is very nice, and I can't think of a single bad thing about the place! I usually get the chicken fajitas, but honestly, you can't go wrong with any item on the menu!
(5)Takako C.
Delicious Mexican food! Service was very nice by this one lady with glasses. The guy makes killer guacamole!
(4)Chelsea M.
Overpriced and bland. This place made me sick after eating there. I got the steak fajitas. They were under seasoned. The onions and peppers were way too hard, like they needed to be cooked longer. My fiancé got the burrito asada. His was the same way. We didn't even eat half of our stuff and had to call it quits, although we were hungry. Up side, the guac was good. I also enjoyed their refried beans.
(2)Vanja K.
It used to be my favorite Mexican restaurant in Cleveland ! It used to stand out and taste much better then the other Mexican restaurants with the same numbered menus and bland taste. Sadly, the quality, taste, and execution has changed in a bad way. I started going here about 11 years ago for a work party, and I have been going there since, on a fairly regular basis. My last four experiences have been very disappointing. The execution and taste were simply bad. The food is either cold or tastes bland, the fajitas are burned, the chicken is full of water , beans are dry and the lettuce is old. Besides the food, service has been on a decline as well. I am from Europe and English is my third language. With that said, I have received the wrong dish numerous times simply because the waiter or waitress did not speak English !!!!! Please have employees speak English when they take food orders come mostly from English speaking customers. I hope it turns around and the food gets to taste fresh again.

This is my family's go-to Restuarant when we have a special event, birthday, graduation, friends in town, etc. Everyone loves it. The meals are huge. The chips and salsa are excellent. And the service is always good. My favorite thing to order is pollo jalapeños. Pollo chipotle is similar and also amazing. Their chili verde is another favorite. They have a great kids menu too!
(5)Bobby B.
This place is my favorite Mexican food. We go often, last night was NOT at all what is the typical experience! First hostess was super friendly, then another gal comes and is one of the rudest girls I've come across there! Young, snotty and not customer friendly! Server was slow as hell! Only came back once, when we were almost done! Had to grab my own napkins, ask the bus boy for more salsa. Ordered a dish with out beans, and the plate was loaded with them. With no regard, the waitress walks away! Typically this would be a 5 star place, last night, not so much!
(4)Cheri F.
Ate there yesterday. ABSOLUTELY the WORST Mexican food I have ever had. The Mystery meat in the taco salad was HORRIBLE AND thankfully (in an odd way) the taco salad was literally a salad almost solely Lettuce. However was still inedible. Taco salad at $9.00, so obviously as far as food goes, (how do you screw up a simple taco salad?) It's a cute restaurant. The server was great. But i will NEVER return.
(1)Christy S.
The best mexican restaurant ive been to so far! The food was delicious, huge portions and our waiter was so nice! From the enchiladas to the fried ice cream it was all delicious you can't go wrong here!
(5)Gina M.
Recently visited the restaurant was a little scared at first since it was right next to a motel! But once I got inside the decor was cool with all the paintings and things.. When I was going over the menu I noticed a lot of the dishes weren't so authentic using a lot of veggies like mushrooms and carrots in the dishes so I was really unsure of what to get so I ordered shrimp fajitas.. Now I know it sounds stupid to say the shrimp tasted a little fishy but it did and it shouldn't have ! The portion of the food was great but I was put off by the carrots and other random veggies in the meal.. I do have to say I loved the salsa I love chunks of tomatoe and onion in my salsa same with the guacamole it was great! Also appreciated they brought a thing filled with tortillas rather then just hand me 3 Overall the place was ok a little over priced I think I will stick to my fiesta jalepenos in medina !
(3)Jackie F.
Have been eating at Nuevo Aapulco for many years, and I always get the veggie burrito sans dairy. It's delicious, and to say it is huge is an understatement. It easily makes three meals for me. The service is always good and I love that the food is consistent.
(4)Jennifer F.
I used to go to the one all the time in Berea and loved it. Tonight my boss and I went out because it's close to her house and I just love Mexican food. The waitress was friendly and VERY prompt. The sangria and pina coladas were very tasty. I would've given it a higher rating, except my $10 Macho burrito came with chicken thigh meat. I've never gone to a Mexican place and received thigh meat in my burrito before. It's always been the breast meat. I never liked the texture of chicken thighs and I'm convinced they have an after taste. It might just be in my head. Anyway, there was enough lettuce, rice, and tomato to fill me up. I took the rest home, but was saddened. Chicken thighs are cheap cuts of meat. There's no reason for a chicken thigh burrito to be $10. I'll come back next time I'm out with coworkers, but I'll definitely be looking for something different to order. Or I might just have drinks. The chips were good, the salsa was very watery. If the waitress hadn't been so awesome, I'd have given 2 stars. The hosts and hostesses were not the nicest, but it could be because the place was swamped. We asked if there were any open seats at the bar. They kept saying, "it's first come first serve." We can read the sign, we're just asking if any seats are open. We just gave up, shoved the crowd aside, checked, then put our names in. The parking is pretty terrible. It's adjacent to a motel, so you have to go back pretty far to park. The farther back you go in the hotel complex, the shadier it looks. I got freaked out and just waited for someone to leave to get a spot. It just seemed like a perfect location to get raped if you're a young adult female (which I am).

Excellent Mexican Food and great service. I had the fajita trio portions are really nice size too big for lunch but done well with rice, beans and all the trimmings. We also love the chips and dip and always get queso it's rich and creamy very good I wish the salsa was a little finer it's chunky but really great favor and unlimited chips. Great place to drop in if your in a hurry service is on top of things and food gets to the table fast and hot yum! Of course we will be back :)

I had really high expectations for Nuevo...It was of course Cinco De Mayo and my friend and I went during lunch hour. I expected a wait, so 15 minutes wasn't bad. But after we were seated, I asked our waitress about the drink specials they had that day (I mean you know I want a margarita) and she didn't even know. I'm going to guess she was new, because she seemed really intimidated for some reason. The crowd had cleared by the time we order our food though. I ordered two tacos - the meat tasted funny, I still got beans on the side after asking for none, and my hard taco shell tasted old. My friends quesadilla fell apart, her chicken wasn't cooked and it was a complete mess. My margarita however, was very strong, so that's always a good thing for 3.50...But after we ate, we had to wait about 25 minutes for our check. It was a little out of line, considering the place had cleared out dramatically. Next time I think I'll take my chances with El Rodeo...

ATMOSPHERE: Okay, I will get this out of the way first: yes, parking availability is horrible! I believe it's because it's shared with a no-name motel and the restaurant can be very busy on weekends. I have been here twice. The atmosphere is busy, the bar area is somewhat small, and separated from the dining room by a small secluded pass-thru where there are two very intimate booths. Perfect little "hidaway" spot for romantics. Otherwise, the dining room is huge. Lots of tables and booths along the wall. Honestly, sometimes it can get loud in the big dining room, especially with large families and/or parties. SERVICE: The service is very quick -- which can be good OR bad. On one occasion, my date and I just sat down and exchanged pleasantries, when the server came to take our drink order - which was placed. Then she returned in 2 minutes for a food order. I know she was trying to be efficient, but we felt rushed as she hovered over us as we studied the menu. Once we ordered -- the food came within 5-7 minutes! ... On this particular night, I guess the server was in a hurry to leave -- even though my date & I wanted to relax over dinner.. She dropped off the check after we'd only had a few bites of food, then she kept returning to see if my date had paid yet. I found that annoying and very unprofessional! Again, we felt rushed. FOOD & BEVERAGE: Both times I've ordered Cadillac margaritas on the rocks with Grand Marnier on the side -- VERY potent and refreshing!! The drinks are not stingy or watered down, like so many local bars. The food is REAL -- let's call it, "authentic-type" Mexican food -- better than ANY chain Mexican place. Lots of rice & beans. The sizzling fajitas are fantastic. The chile rellenos are delectible & full of cheesy goodness. Chips & salsa are plentiful and a great starter... Unfortunately, I never have room for dessert. Although one of these days I will have to try the fried coconut ice cream!! I always leave with appetite satisfied -- and a doggy bag! :) RESULT: All in all, the food is plentiful & tasty. The drinks are fantastic! The atmosphere is nice & Mexico adobe themed. The service is pleasant, but seemed rushed and overly attentive.
(3)Jennifer D.
First time here in 10 years. The mexican pizza appetizer was awesome. The seafood chimichanga very, very disappointing. The menu says it has shrimp, scallops and imitation crab and veggies inside. OMG! Their was 4 little baby shrimp, 3 baby scallops...crab? Couldn't tell you. The price was 12.95? For $2 more I should have ordered one of their shrimp entrees, which come with 10 big shrimp. If you are in the mood for a seafood dish here, do not order the seafood chimi. Very good salsa/chips and good rice and beans...and I normally hate refried beans. The service was wonderful and we ordered carryout. They seem to really care. I'd go back to try their combo fajitas or another seafood dish.
(3)Daniel S.
I was just at this restaurant two days ago. I was given my bill, and then I gave the waitress my credit card. She comes back to the table 10 minutes later with 2 receipts! She used my card to pay for the wrong table, then used my card again for my transaction as well, post voiding the old one. No explanation as to how or why this was messed up, she sent me on my my way. My 8 dollar taco salad at this point has now cost me 70 dollars. I'm pretty upset with this.
(1)Jay D.
I've been going here since I was a kid, and yes it's been around for 10+ years or so. Authentic mexican food with good atmosphere in the suburbs. You will get plenty of food here to fill you up or take with you. Service has always been top notch. I've never had bad service here and it won't hurt your pocket either, prices are always within reason! Go here on your birthday and you get a picture of yourself in a mexican sombrero put on the wall for humiliation.
(4)Simon I.
Nuevo Acapulco has managed to maintain a high quality of flavor & taste in it's food offerings, over the many years I have eaten here. The star of this place the food offerings cater to many tastes from the typical Mexican dishes to some of their house specials. To start their baked corn chips are just the right crisp & their chunky salsa is the perfect middle of chunk & heat factor. Each person gets their own bowl of salsa so you can double dip at your hearts desire. Most all their entree run in $10 - $12 per dish price range however the portions in each entree is suitable for two. It's best to order multiple dishes and share it all. Their margarita are strong so drink moderately if you are a lightweight when it comes to your tolerance of alcohol. Nuevo Acapulco have received several accolades over the years for their great food - this for good reason. What has been inconsistent is the quality of attention from it's staff. Much to ups and downs. Their service is of very good quality now (better times). At my latest visit I found the service to be just what you'd expect from a down-home Mexican eatery - fast, friendly in the quintessential Mexican eatery sort of way. If you have queations about an item, ask the wait staff they will give you a decent idea about it. When the service is good like these days - it's good in the down home attentive sort of way don't expect fine linen or table side food prep here but do expect mouth watering Mexican affair.

I actually enjoy this place quite a bit in general, but I believe what really won me over (and what gives this place a 5 star rating) is their margaritas! Their strawberry margaritas are some of the best I have ever had. Their consistency and flavour is amazing, and they are definitely not shy about the amount of alcohol they put in it. Their ambiance is nice, everyone there is friendly, and their food is authentic - well as authentic as I expected. The location isn't the best. In my opinion it's more like a hidden gem - it's right in front of a motel, so to the naked eye looks a little unappealing. The actual restaurant; however, does not reflect the surrounding location. I have frequented there many times since I've been working in the North Olmsted area. Their portions are huge, and their food is a solid 4! I am surprised at anyone who can actually finish their meal when they get there. Whenever I go I always just order a side - and even sometimes that is too much. I've had their Chalupa's, their Chimichanga's, their burrito's, their chips and cheese dip and their fried ice cream - each of which is pretty good. And of course their margaritas - did I mention they were amazing?
(5)Barbara S.
Use to be our favorite Mexican place, not only more. This time we had to wait awhile before the server showed up. Not busy at all that night. Took our order and never saw him again. Had to request a box and the bill from another server. Still nothing. Went to the cashier and told her the food was lousy this time and the server was MIA. Won't be back and won't recommend to anyone. Should have just gone down the street to Taco Bell. Dog didn't even like the left overs.
(2)Ron C.
The best Mexican food in the Cleveland area. I really can't eat anywhere else but there, so worth the drive over from Medina! A game changer.
(5)Sara M.
Don't let the outside fool you - this place is great! We have been coming here for a few years now. The food is fantastic. We've ordered at least half of the menu and have liked everything we've tried. The portions are huge and you get at least 2 meals from an entree. The margaritas are great as well and they do not skimp on the tequila! The staff is so friendly and treat you like family. The service is always great. We've also ordered takeout several times and they even give you chips and salsa with the takeout order.
(5)Leigh C.
I should have known that this place was going to be horrible when I tried the salsa. It's hard to really mess up salsa- like totally ruin it. Sometimes it's bland or too spicy or too this or that. This salsa was HORRIBLE! You know the salsa that comes in a jar on the chip aisle? That is far superior salsa. There is no excuse for the salsa at this place. I'll move on to the rest of the food. I will say that the guacamole was ok. The taco was not fabulous although the meat was plentiful. The enchilada was no good. Neither was the rice. The server we had was really sweet and on top of things and everyone was nice. Just not the food.
(1)Rodney W.
Nuevo Acapulco vs Cozumel: I tried Nuevo Acapulco this weekend and I have to say, it's very good. Unfortunately, it did not take the title for best fajitas in Cleveland in my opinion. That title still belongs to Cozumel! The margaritas at Neuvo are really delicious and some of the best I've ever had. Compared to Cozumel, I'd say the Margaritas were a tie. Nuevo has slightly better hot salsa for the nachos, which I really liked. My favorite dish is FAJITAS! To me, how a place fixes its fajitas means a lot. In fact, it means everything to me. For about the same price, Cozumel gives you double the meat, onions and peppers on the simmering hot flat iron that most fajitas are served on. Nuevo's tortillas were tough when I bit into them, a BIG turn-off for me. The reason for this is Neuvo serves their tortillas in a plastic bowl with a lid that allows air to get in and heat to escape, whereas Cozumel serves their tortillas wrapped in aluminum foil so they're always hot and moist. The oppings were the same between the two restaurants - guacamole, sour cream, rice, refried beans, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. Cozumel has several locations and large parking lots that you don't have to worry about your car being towed from. Nuevo only has one location and it's always busy. Don't park in Drug Mart's parking lot, you could get towed and good luck finding a spot in Neuvo's lot. Service at both restaurants is excellent. Our server at Nuevo was friendly and he even took our guest's camera into the kitchen to take pictures. Our guest is from Peru, so he wanted pictures of everything here in the States to show his friends back home. Cozumel's attention to detail, consistent food quality and speedy, friendly service will always win in my mind. Overall, I definitely recommend Nuevo Acapulco for Mexican, but if you want tip top service and food EVERY time, Cozumel is the place for you. nuevoacapulco.com

The portions are great for the price, as well as the food itself. Surprisingly they have no spicy salsa and the few that they do have was bland. The drinks are weak and to get the happy hour special you have to go to the bar. The service is good and the decor is nice. I'm 50/50 with this restaurant and believe three stars are suitable.
(3)Donna H.
If it's possible for a Mexican restaurant to run like a Swiss watch, that is Nuevo Acapulco - with lines out the door on the weekends, they seem to know that a moment saved at your table puts another customer closer to a great meal. This meant that even in a busy dining room, our server stopped by regularly to make sure we had what we needed, yet we never felt rushed. We had Chipotle Cream Chicken and Chili Verde, both excellent and both dishes not available at our local hangout. The flavors were fresh and there was real heat in the chipotle cream, a welcome surprise. The room was noisy and festive, and the margaritas were great. Parking is tight and you might end up waiting, but Nuevo Acapulco is the really good Mexican restaurant *your* local Mexican restaurant probably wants to be.
(4)Tim M.
The service was great, even on a Saturday night. The food was average. I ordered the Chile Rellenos and I was not impressed. My wife was happy with her Margerita This place is average at best. I recommend Lucitas over this place.
(3)Gini J.
Mexican and Cleveland are uneasy partners. Nuevo Acapulco is my go-to place when my raised-in-the-West cravings demand Mexican. Sure, the interior looks a bit like Disney's Tiki Room, but the staff in genuine and helpful. Start with a classic margarita - on the rocks with salt, thank you - and sip it slowly, because it's a margie with legs. Then enjoy the warm, fresh chips and zippy salsa while you peruse the generous menu. Sure, you can go for standard enchiladas or burritos, but take your chances and try the tacos al carbon or the enchiladas mole. The food is fresh and tasty. Definitely good Mexican comfort food. The restaurant is connected to a motel, and the parking is mostly in the back. But don't let this scare you off.
(4)Babes S.
Well this place is good if you don't have the better "Cozumel in Lakewood" on your mind. Absolutely everything is a step down here unfortunately. It's still relatively good, but there are a few things that just dont have that much "love" in it. Good overall, but if you're close enough, just go to Cozumel on Detroit.
(3)Julie H.
Loved this place! Food came amazingly fast. I had chicken enchiladas suiza....EXCELLENT! I have to say this is the best Mexican food I've had since moving back here from Arizona.
(5)Robert K.
Great food! Great service! This place serves authentic food!
(5)Megan T.
Best Mexican in the area! They have a lengthy menu with great options to choose from. The worst part is the wait but that just goes to show how great this place is. Their margaritas are tasty and their portions will always leave you enough for lunch tomorrow.
(5)Jason H.
I've emerged from my mexican food coma to write this review. I went for lunch and left happy and full. Not a big lunch menu, but it's got everything you could want. Service was fast and friendly. The chips were flowing and delicious. Goes the same for the salsa. I ordered the chicken burrito, comes on a big platter with rice and beans. No complaints here! Price is right, I think it was $7.50 for the whole platter. If you are looking for something healthy, you won't find it here. But for great mexican food with excellent service go to Nuevo Acapulco!
(4)Mike O.
Awesome, awesome, awesome! Just get here! You will not leave disappointed or hungry!
(5)Jim W.
Soo...the story goes that Roberto & his friend Ruben had a Mexican restaurant somewhere around Seattle. There were lots of Mexican restaurants in the environs and it was tough to stand out. A traveling salesman (I know, right) from Cleveland was dining at the restaurant and said to Roberto something like, "This is awesome Mexican food! If you moved your restaurant to Cleveland you would do great! There aren't enough Mexican restaurants around Cleveland." So Nuevo Acapulco came to Cleveland and the rest is history. Nuevo Acapulco is not just a good Mexican restaurant for the Cleveland area, this is a good Mexican restaurant anywhere. Owner Roberto takes pride in the quality of his food and service. Expect a wait 6-9pm weekends. Mole is excellent. Not the best location, but well worth the drive.
(4)Will K.
In my opinion this is the Number 1 place for Mexican food in Cleveland. The drinks are delicious here as well! I always get a Chimichanga and enjoy it more and more each time. The salsa is great! I almost fill up on chips before the food actually arrives. Service is always very fast here, the wait might be long some nights.. but it's worth it!
(5)julie m.
This place is plain nasty! The salsa is tomato sauce with a few chunks of tomato, you have to pay for extra tortillas for your fajiita . Flavorless .
(1)Gwynne C.
Coming on a visit from California, born and raised with a delicious taqueria and mercadito on every corner, I was a little bit wary of what I might find at Nuevo Acapulco. But - it was near to my motel and got great reviews, so I gave it a try. WOW!! I was completely impressed. Mexican food this good in Cleveland? Muy loco! My dining companion and I ordered the Queso Fundido, which was tasty, greasy (as it should be, afterall it's a bubbling plate of melted cheese), and full of really lovely chorizo. Extra points for the melt-in-your-mouth roasted jalapenos on top. I then ordered the steak Tacos al Carbon, and they were absolutely fantastic. The flavor of the sauce was strong but not overpowering, the steak was tender, and the overall interpretation of this dish was just superlative. The portions were insane - both of us only ate half our plates. (and we do love to eat, so this isn't a comment on our diminutive appetites!) The service was also noteworthy. Friendly and swift. The chips are nice and crispy, the beans had body and flavor. The salsa wasn't over-the-top delicious, but it had a very authentic flavor and texture. I'm hooked! My stepmom and I have vowed to return before our time in Cleveland is over. I would choose this place over my local haunts back home if I were able. Awesome!

Wow if this is the best Mexican food all the reviewers have ever had, I feel so sorry for them. I was there once, the menu reminded me of taco bell. I ordered a nacho supreme and sure enough, tex mex at is finest. We didn't bother to order dinner. If your in North Olmsted Mi Pollo, El Rodeo or even chipotle would be better. If you want real mexican I'm advising you to go elsewhere.

. I have gone there several times in the past and the food was always excellent. Again this last time- the good was wonderful. However, the service had another thing to be desired. My friend and I asked for extra sour cream. I understand that there might be some small nominal fee. But $1.50 for extra sour cream, I couldn't believe that when I saw my bill. I asked the waitress why we were not told. She just stood and said nothing. I told her that I didn't feel that I should have to pay ( but I would) because that is was way too much for sour cream. I understand she doesn't make the rules but she was very rude to me and said let me get the manager. Also the thing that really ticked me off was when he was clearing the plates to go to get the manager- she almost knocked salsa all over my friend. Obviously it was because she was ticked that I as a paying customer had the nerve to question something. The manager said he was sorry and I did point out he needs to tell his waitress she needs to be nicer to customers. I agree with the other reviewer on here- next time I will go to El Rodeo!

Gosh, I didn't know how I was going to write about Acapulco. While the food was excellent, the after affect was not. NO, NO, NO!!!! nothing bad about the food. I threw caution into the wind the night I was there and had an item there I was not suppose to. Well, the simple truth is, I ate too much. So much I hurt when I ate more and hurt when I got up to leave. I had the Steak Mexicano (which is North Olmsted for Bistec a la mexicano) for my entree and the chorizo fundido I ordered to share with my group. Both were very good. Portion size was good for the steak dish but I thought the fundido was a little on the small portion side (yes, it's an appetizer but I have seen bigger portions elsewhere). Overall, you find the tex-mex cuisine to be delicious. Service though was a little slow. Our waitress took a least 15 mins btw getting us drinks and getting our orders. And for the size of the crowd in the restaurant the night I was there, it shouldn't have taken as long as it did for our food to be ready. But all was forgiven when food hit taste-buds.

By far this is the best Mexican restaurant in Cleveland. All the food is amazing, personally I recommend the Macho Burrito and to bring a friend (or be prepared to take half of it home for a second meal).
(5)Tim J.
What a bummer. I was really hoping for a lot more when I read all the reviews. It was average food in a faux Mexican setting, with over the top paintings and colors. I had chimichangas as I seem to always do, but was not impressed by the frying, as they were oily and soggy instead of crispy and delicious. The dessert at Mexican restaurants is what I normally look forward to, and it failed as well. The fried ice cream actually went unfinished which is unheard of with me. Its not bad food, but you have way better options cleveland!
(3)Karen W.
Pretty good, some of the best Mexican food I've had in Cleveland so far. The tamales and enchiladas are great, and the refried beans are pretty tasty.
(4)Ruby D.
Got to disagree with many here who find Nuevo Acapulco really good. Lousy food and uninspired servers just didn't merit the praise. Try another place before this.
(2)Rosa K.
I have eaten out there with a friend and have done some take out order! Their food is good!
(4)Paul M.
Decent salsa, large portions, and fast, friendly service adds up to four stars.
(4)Mike T.
first time at Nuevo Acapulco this Sunday. it was awesome! we were out shopping and wanted mexican food. stopped in there. quick service we were in and out within 30 min. chips and salsa were fresh, i got the combo with enchilada, taco and tostada. very good...plenty of food i took over half home and ate it later that night. if you want good mexican food try this place out!
(4)Jeanette B.
Maybe we should change the name of this blog to: "Mexican Food: What's Not to Like?" Yes, we love it and we had to continue our Mexican feeding frenzy by having dinner at Nuevo Acapulco in North Olmsted on Lorain Rd. Neither of us had been here in years for some reason that I can't quite pinpoint since we clearly love Mexican food, it's five minutes from our house, and our friends rave about it constantly. Call us stubborn, call us morons, whatever, we just didn't go. I'll tell you right now, that is seriously going to change! It was a Friday night and the parking lot (which it shares with a motel) was packed and their were people waiting for seats. Typically this would make us turn right around, however a sign said that seating in the bar area was first come first serve and a table had just opened, so we walked right in and sat down. Such luck! Chips and salsa immediately appeared on the table, as if by magic, and then we were asked about drinks seconds later. We both ordered cheladas, made with Pacifico. If you have never had a chelada, it is a drink made with tomato juice, hot sauce, and the beer of your choosing. (I think this is how it's made, that's how it tastes at least!) It's like a Bloody Mary made with beer and I assure you it is good -- and spicy to boot... Oh! And the rim of the glass is lined with salt and a lime like a Margarita. This drink was great. Not only that, but the bar tender personally came over to make sure we liked them. Apparently he doesn't get many requests for this gem of a beverage. The chips and salsa were delish! And the chips and salsa were constantly being refilled. We never once asked, more chips and salsa just kept appearing on the table! More magic :) We also ordered guacamole to go with our chips, which was very good as well. Now for dinner we both ordered burritos. Jason had the Macho Burrito with picadillo. It was very good and stuffed with what appeared to be two pounds of shredded beef! I had the Burrito Relleno, thinking to myself that a burrito stuffed with a stuffed relleno pepper sounded like the best thing on Earth. I assure you, I was not mistaken! Picture it: A giant burrito (fills the entire plate) stuffed with rice, beans, cheese AND a big poblano pepper, also stuffed with cheese! This could be the best burrito I have ever had, rivaling the chimichanga I had in Tucson at El Charro. With my mouth half full of my third burrito bite, I exclaimed to Jason that THIS was now for sure my favorite Mexican restaurant in the Cleveland vicinity. He still holds to Mi Pueblo being number one.... I'm not so sure... I guess I'll just have to go back to both and try them each again..... :)

been going here for over 10years and never had a bad experience. good food, good drinks, decent prices.
(5)Barbara M.
Every time I go out for Mexican food I order Enchiladas Suizas. This is my ultimate judge of a Mexican restaurant, and Nuevo passed with flying colors!! I also enjoyed the pleasant and swift service, the yummy fresh tasting tortilla chips and salsa and the option of watching the game on the big screen! The decor is a little cheesey but when it comes to Mexican, pour on the cheese!!
(5)Janet V.
what a dump...but it was voted Best in The West by Cleveland Magazine so we went to try it...well we have had better. Ordered the Macho Burrito w/picadillo (pulled pork) and the Relleno Burrito. Both were satisfactory but no need to EVER return there. The salsa was yucky too....
(2)Karen W.
My sweetheart and I were seated promptly and asked for our order almost immediately. The chips and salsa arrived moments later. Points for eagerness. The salsa and chips were the high points of our meal, by far. We had a hard time deciding because of the size of the menu, but we each chose a dinner combination. Mine had a chicken taco, cheese enchilada, and beef tamales. I took one bite of the taco and put it down. Something was off, but I gave the other elements of the combo a chance. They were okay. Not great. Not awful. I wouldn't get it again, and I'm a little worried about how I will feel tomorrow. The decor is garish and almost as loud as the dining room. My sweetheart and I had to raise our voices considerably to be heard over the din. We finally gave up on conversation and flagged someone down to get our check. Service was inconsistent but polite. If I go back, I'll skip the meal and try their tableside guacamole and a margarita.
(2)Omar D.
This place has delicious food. It is seasoned just right. The menu is extensive and offers many options of delicious plates. The Cadillac margaritas are great. They are a bit expensive for the pitchers but I guess it's worth it since surrounding Mexican restaurants have mediocre margaritas. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. The wait staff is also so pleasant. It's always very welcoming.
(4)Ruchu T.
Very good authentic Mexican food here. My friends and I came here after having some strong tasty drinks from Porco (yes it's quite a drive but we were all craving heavy food). The restaurant was not too busy but I was told it's usually packed on the weekend nights. It was my first visit here but my friends have been here and recommended that I get their combo plates. I ended up with combo #4 consisting of a beef taco, chicken enchiladas, and tamale, this was also served with a side of rice and beans. The portion was massive! The 14" plate was covered with food. I started with the taco. The crunchy shell was full of flavorful ground beef with fresh lettuce and large cuts of tomatoes. The enchilada was stuffed with very tender chicken and covered in a light cheese sauce. The tamale was filled with marinated pulled pork wrapped in a corn/flour shell. I was only able to finish half of this entree and I was quite hungry before dinner! The leftovers were delicious the next day as well. I did add some fresh arugula to give it the impression that it's healthier... The service here was good, the waiter and servers were very attentive and the food came out quickly and hot.
(4)Nicole L.
My family has been coming here for years! We drive almost 40 minutes for these family inspired dishes. Roberto and his family have always been more than accommodating. BEST MARGARITAS EVER, seriously! Smooth consistency and filled with a great amount of tequila. LOVE THE SALSA AND WHITE QUESO! Arroz con pollo has awesome flavor, a little pricey but great portions for a reasonable price
(4)Mark R B.
We order the chicken mole and then the chicken Chipotle they're both exceptionally. Great gravy sauce for both chickens great service!! The chips and salsa was excellent . the half picture of margarita was prefect.
(5)Justin S.
Great Mexican restaurant with a great vibe and exciting decor as well as delicious cuisine. I feel like it is one of the more authentic places I've been to. Went in on Cinco De Mayo and they had a live Elvis impersonator singing! Friendly people too, a stranger at the bar payed for my margarita! Great food at a fair price. I had the burrito asado and was mucho impressed.
(5)Jess N.
The food was good and at a good price. The servers all seemed to be in a big rush and kept trying to take our plates as we finished. Decor needs updated terribly! Can't be too upset but definitely no where near other restaurants around.
(3)Regina S.
Wasn't a great experience last time. We walked in and the entire place smelled like a rotting bathroom, and the smell didn't go away the whole time we were there. I didn't even want to drink my water, for fear that the smell was somehow related to the water supply. Food was decent, exactly what you'd expect at a Mexican restaurant.
(2)Scott F.
Very average Mexican food. But I'm from Arizona where Mexican food flows like the Ohio river during a tragic flood. Service was just fine. Chips and salsa were very good. Food came hot and quick. I ordered the spinach Quesadilla and it was very tasty and large. But the rice and beans were dry and VERY bland. Maybe it was just that day. I love Mexican food. And if I'm ever in the area, I'll try this place again and update my review.
(3)Iman S.
Overall is good. The only thing I would have to criticize is that most of their options taste the same. I do have to say that their portions are pretty good in size but they kind of overload on lettuce and stuff.
(2)Kim W.
Most authentic Mexican food around. Their chips, salsa, guacamole and sharing a Mexican pizza and frozen margaritas are a great girls night out.
(4)Ferial D.
Great food awesome atmosphere the service is out of this world the food is always made fresh the chips and salsa are so good i tend to take some home especially the guacamole
(5)George S.
I love a good Mexican restaurant, and I also love a deal; this place...is both:) (WARNING; there will be humor in this post:) My Wife and I visited this place for a meeting up with some folks, and we were pleasantly surprised. From the outside, Nuevo Acapulco looks modest and unassuming, inside, it's quite large and amazingly busy. The reason for the busy? The food is really well priced, and you get a LOT of it! Their menu has a wide range of standard Mexican-American fare, from burritos to enchiladas and salads to just your standard appetizers, all of it moderately priced. The staff were nice, very genial folks who were RUNNING LIKE SPRINTERS to make sure that the customers were taken care of. We ordered, and then...THE FOOD CAME. I have never seen such MASSIVE STUFF people. I saw a plate handed over that I thought, for a startling moment, was a swaddled baby on a plate, IT WAS A BURRITO!! It was that big! I got just two enchiladas (and I know now why they give you the option to buy just one,) it was gigantic. One poor fellow sitting across from me just sat there, staring at his plate of a mole' type stew, muttering "I can't eat all this!" My wife is STILL eating leftovers after two days...and they're STILL GREAT! I was very impressed. The food was good, and despite a noise level somewhere near a roar, (they were really busy that night,) the food was great. Our drinks were never empty, and the service was very fine. So, if you're on the West Side, are a bit peckish, love Mexican, and have a REALLY BIG appetite (seriously, bring friends, many, many friends,) hit Nuevo Acapulco and settle in for a taste fiesta!!:)
(4)Mark R.
Upon further review, don't go combo meal! The regular stand by of the combo meal maybe deemed as safe but not going to lead to happy taste buds. As part of a party of four, those who went for regular meals fared better than the #5 or #8 combo. Really chimichanga or chicken chipotle or #5 which sounds better to you? The chicken chipotle was a very nice sauce. It had a little bite and if you added more inside the tortilla it would make you sweat. I choose to add sour cream. Chicken was perfect. It comes with rice and beans. In vegetarian options the potato chimi and cheese enchillita were better than the ground beef options.. There must be a low level of beef in play here. Twice in a row ground beef, didn't fare well. The modela negra was a very nice change from the usual dos equis amber.
(3)Heather W.
I can't say enough positive things about this place. I have been here probably 30+ times and have never been disappointed. The food is delicious authentic Mexican food. Portions are large and service is very speedy! My favorite restaurant in Cleveland.
(5)Karyn C.
Oh I love this place. The food is not the typical Mexican fare with icky crud on the plate that is unrecognizable from the other crud on the plate. I typically get one of the skirt steak concoctions (yes, I'm so pathetic, I can't recall the dish names - but hey... top right side of the menu, go look yourself!). The flavors are yummy. And important... DISTINCT. The salsa... inconsistent. When it is good, it's really good. And other times... meh. But, not BAD, never bad. (Yeah... I have had some BAD salsa, and this sometimes just edges to a little ho hum.) Margaritas? Yes please. I like the gold margarita, and get it on the rocks with salt. MMMMM. :) This is a yummy place. The smells are awesome. The building is next to a pay by the hour hole in the wall, and looks very unassuming. (I've never actually SEEN hookers, but I'm suspicious... LOL) Try it. You'll like it!
(4)Erin B.
If there is better Mexican in Cleveland I can't find it. (And I'm open to suggestion, people!) But yeah, I love this place! Good food, big portions, a nice sized menu, and even a big 'a la carte' section. And the margaritas are made from scratch, not mixes like nearly all the other restaurants. It's always worth the wait.
(5)Theresa L.
We think it's Great. Been going there for 20 years. Our favorite is the Steak Tacos Carbone. The margarItas are good and strong.
(5)Ellen S.
My boyfriend has been coming here for almost 10 years now and never once brought me. After not much persuasion, we made a visit on a Friday night around 5. It was only just starting to get crowded but we got a seat right away. Service is crazy fast. We had our soda and our order in in under 6 minutes and our food in front of us in another 6 minutes. This sometimes is a red flag to me, as it is a tell tale sign that there may be a great deal of pre-made ingredients. I'll start with the red salsa. It's ok. I've had better. I would have preferred something spicier, but c'est la vie. I'll spring for the green salsa next time. Chips, not very fresh, I wish they could have warmed them up or something. Not complaining, its just the little things that take something from meh to great. I got a 2 beef taco and enchilada combo. I thought the enchilada was really good. Tacos could probably have been seasoned better, but again, not complaining. I put some salt and hot sauce on them and they were more my speed. They came with beans and rice. I'm not a huge fan of Mexican rice anyway, but the beans were decent. What you would expect. The price was decent too. We both ate our fill with food to spare for about $25.00. I'll definitely be back! I've been told the margaritas are pretty good, and I'd like a couple more of those enchiladas! Hm... girls night!!
(4)Chrystal F.
The wait - 25 mins The Service - Great The food - Authentic / Meat was dry needed to be marinated linger The decor - Nice The atmosphere - People getting sung happy birthday in Mexican hats, alot. Lol The portions - Huge! My friend and I split fajitas - and my dad finished our leftovers - 1 dish filled 3 people. The side dinner salads are huge too. Too huge... 4 stars because of the burnt dry meat.
(4)jodi b.
I love this place. Been here plenty of times and never had bad service or food. The menu isn't terribly authentic, but it's a little more creative than standard mexican restaurants. I've never had trouble finding a parking spot behind the building. This is just one of those reliable places if you feel like overeating on above average mexican food.
(4)Steven S.
Nuevo Acapulco is really the only "Tex-Mex" Food I bother to eat anymore. Yea the parking sucks and the service is hit or miss but I really have never had a bad meal here. The Carne Asada and Seafood Chimichonga have stood out as my favorites, really great food at a very reasonable price. The portions no matter what you order are huge and the drinks are always strong no similar Tex-Mex restaurant can touch Nuevo. On Friday & Saturdays this place is packed so be prepared to wait, the bar is first come first serve so always try getting in there first.
(4)Shannon C.
I have been to this restaurant over 20 times. The service is always great and the portions are ridiculous. The pricing is some of the best I've seen. I recommend the mango margarita (upgrade to cadillac). The salsa is great, cilantro, diced tomato, red and green onion, thin sauce, served with house made chips (so much better still warm). The guacamole is a good choice and worth the $3. Also, the cheese sauce is very good and extremely addicting. Only negatives is filling up on guac and cheese sauce before you get your entree. I really like the combination dinners, which have every option under the sun. Then you personalize them by choosing your meat or cheese filling. All the combos come with rice and re-fried beans (I get no beans and they give you a lot more rice). I love the colorado steak (tender, reminds me of beef stew meat). Then I usually get the shredded chicken in an enchilada or the chimichanga (please try). The burrito is addicting with colorado beef inside, smothered in cheese and burrito sauce. The fajitas are good and are a part of my regular rotation. The flatus's are good, everything is good here. You won't have any room left for desert, but if you try the cheesecake chimichanga once, you'll save room the next time. Tortilla stuffed with cream cheese filling, fried until crunchy, with some surprisingly good whipped cream. Trust me on this, best Mexican in the area. I love you Nuevo, always and forever.
(5)Ryan S.
Another underwhelming experience. Bland and below average even by stripmall Mexican standards.
(2)Chintan S.
I have been there many many times. Good, tasty and fresh food every time. Their green salsa is amazing. I have tried almost all of their veg items. And we have always liked the food. The beans the fajitas the various sauces they have.....all taste fantastic. Portions are huge. I can almost eat 2 meals from one. Service is also very good and prompt. Friendly and professional. Always get greeted upon entry as well as while leaving. The servers check on you every so often.....refill ur water etc.,.. The restaurant is big. They have a lot of seating. I have always found it clean. They are able to accommodate table/booth requests. Weekends get busy there.....so there maybe a little wait. All said - this is one of my favorite places to go for Mexican food. I recommend it to everyone.
(4)Mark Z.
Not impressed. The only redeeming feature was the table side made guacamole. Chicken tasted like it was canned.
(1)Christopher M.
Maybe you will know what to do with a 2 lb fajita burrito, but I don't. This place is almost family style Mexican food, the Buca di Beppo of burritos if you will. As normal human beings with normal sized stomachs, the dinner could have served us and the 2.5 kids that we don't have. Which is great, unless you prefer smaller portions and better food. Upon closer inspection, my burrito was simply a bunch of food on a plate with a flour tortilla draped over top and tucked in on the sides. It could not be contained! Now that's not to say the food is bad, because it's pretty good until the food coma sets in. Let's break it down like it's some sort of game. During warmup, you're a little intimidated by your opponent. First quarter, you settle in and you have things under control. Second quarter, the opponent fights back. What happens in the second half? Not sure, because I got a doggy bag and forfeited. Also, staff is friendly, they don't play music, it's loud, margaritas are a 6/10, and the chips and salsa are acceptable.
(3)Liz E.
This is the place that doesn't look impressive from the outside (it shares a parking lot with a cheap motel) but has had so much success simply because of their phenomenal Mexican dishes! Word of mouth works! They have my favorite salsa, period. I tend to get stuck on ordering the same dishes over and over again, but I can't help it! I'm also picky about guacamole, and there's is a win. There's a good reason you'll wait at least 30 minutes on a weekend to eat here! The gentleman that are the owners are friendly, much of their staff has been there awhile, which means something to me. The inside is kind of dark, sometimes looks a little drab and dirty. But the chatter of a packed establishment draws your attention away from that. Bottom line, you're there for the food.
(5)Steve L.
This place was definitely authentic Mexican,right down to the huge blue hat they tossed on my head while singing me happy birthday after my girlfriends friends husband told the waiter it was my birthday. Back to the matter at hand,I ordered the carne asada it was cooked to perfection and ready to eat. Everyone else loved their meals(and the free bday dessert,lol!) I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a good relaxed time and excellent food for a decent price.
(4)Jeff H.
I've been eating at Nuevo Acapulco for perhaps 15 years, and it has to be one of my favorite restaurants. I honestly don't have a comparison it is 'authentic' or not, but nearly all my experiences have been with very tasty and plentiful food. It's a perfect place for a fun date, a fun outing with friends, parties of people, birthdays, some drinks, etc. I order vegetarian and am happy that they have a decent amount of veggie dishes, and even include some new ones from time to time. Before I gave up meat, I would often get the chicken, steak and shrimp dishes as well and always liked what I had. The reason I did not give it 5 stars is because despite how good the food tastes and how much leftovers I have (which I consider good because then that's one less meal to cook later ha ha), some of the foods are a bit oily/greasy. Not overly so, but if I get certain dishes I do feel they sit a bit heavy if I eat too much of the oily stuff.
(4)Shawn M.
One of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the area. It's very inexpensive and the food is great.
(5)Faith A.
This is by far one of my favorite Mexican restaurants that I have ever been to. Whether it or authentic or not, I think they do a great job and I leave satisfied each and every time I have the pleasure of going to this place. Found in front of whatever the flavor of the month name is (Knights Inn, Days Inn, Comfort Inn, etc), this place is YUMMO! Great service, fabulous margaritas, and an overall clean environment... and the food is good too! I still miss the white cheese dip... the Mexican place on the corner where I live now just does not do it for me. Nuevo Acapulco, I miss you :)
(5)Sarah S.
Nuevo Acapulco was sub-par mexican to me. Their salsa was unlike any other mexican place i've been to and was a strange consistency. It was also overly spicy and had beans in it. I wasn't a huge fan. The margarita was good, but was overly sugary. I had a tostada with chicken. It was decent, there just wasn't a wow factor. I was really excited for what I thought was an authentic mexican restaurant and I just felt like this place didn't deliver what I expected.
(2)Christopher M.
Nice decent Mexican food. Huge portions! They have a really good guacamole that they prepare at the table. It's delicious. I ordered it the first time I was there and the only problem was I didn't realize how large their portions are so it was way too much food for me and my friend. It would be great to share for a large party. They have a good vegetarian selection and great margaritas. Very festive decor. Friendly staff. It's part of a small motel complex on a ver busy section of Lorain rd. which makes entry, exit and parking a bit challenging.
(3)E P.
If you want a giant plate of oily, cheesy, soupy Mexican food, this is the place for you. It couldn't be less authentically Mexican, but it sure is big. Lots of vegetarian options.
(3)
