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.

The food was awesome!! So far I've had the chicken with onions,jalapeño, and peppers with rice and beans. It was kinda spicy but still very good. Deff flavorful in a good way. Ive also ordered the tamales(never really cared for them), chicken burrito, and I ALWAYS get a order of plantains (always ripe and delicious and a big portion which you can share :) I've never eaten here in person, usually I get it delivered but the prices are very reasonable and the food is great! Soo as I write this review I'm in the process of ordering some tacos but I'm debating if I want the delicious chicken I ordered in the past. Hmmm decisions decisions...

ordered some enchiladas on grubhub. Now i'm as white as they come - but what I received surely wouldn't be considered an "enchilada". Called to tell them they must have given me the wrong order. Instead of accepting this, the guy on the phone told me that I was wrong and that's how they do their enchiladas. "The tortillas are on the side!"... "why is it in 3 containers?". Went back and forth and this guy just wouldn't give up. Eventually, I gave up and started to take down the mush... errrr enchiladas with a fork.

I am so confused how people could possibly give this place a bad review! I ordered on grub hub, they were right on time and SUPER friendly which I appreciate. I ordered the Pastor tacos and they were absolutely delicious. the pork was flavorful and they gave plenty of limes, cucumbers, adn radishes on the side. I was absolutely stuffed after just 2 of the three tacos. I also got a tamale because you cant beat the price ($2) and the chips and salsa which were totally worth the extra money. Totally recommend this place if youre looking for cheap and plentiful good food!

Placed a delivery order; 2 hours and 15 minutes and counting. Pretty shabby.

Simple 1-time takeout review- I was looking for fish tacos, so the copious neon highlighting oysters and other seafood attracted me to this place over other Mexican places on the strip. I read the review previous to mine regarding credit card disputes, and opted to pay cash. The wait was longer than I hoped, but, they were clearly cleaning up before I came in. All six fish tacos were still well organized in their individual wrappers even after walking a ways home. The long wait appears to due to making a load of fresh guacamole that slathered every taco. 1-tortilla per, but surprisingly, they still did not crack while eating. I'll be back, but not when I have an appointment, and I'll still pay cash.

I ordered from Fiesta Alcalpulco through Grub Hub recently and the order was severely late. After calling, and when I did get it, I was confused and thought I had the wrong order sent to me and called again trying to get it figured out (some items were much different than what I remembered from past orders). The manager called me personally and we talked over what I got. There was some misunderstanding and slight error on their part, but he was very polite and down-to-earth and sent me a new order immediately, even though I told him it was okay and not to worry about it since it was late. Excellent service (and good food too).

Some of you people are crazy. First- they have free delivery, star. To anywhere in the city, star. Huge portions and small prices, star. Simple food done well, star. Their tacos al pastor with cheese deserve a star all on their own, star. Seriously though... if they, even without traffic, are willing to drive 15-20 minutes across the city am I really going to complain the food isn't scorching hot? And who orders nachos for delivery? Yes, it's going to be soggy- that's not their fault. That's poor ordering. I enjoyed everything I ordered and will definitely use them again.

This is the holy grail of Mexican food when you're craving something of the seafood variety. The fish must be cooked with crack, because my boyfriend & I can never get enough! The fish burrito & fish tacos are our favorite. Shrimp tostadas are also delicious. Everything is fresh & always delivered in a timely fashion. I've ordered delivery with a credit card a million times from here & NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. They're also on Grubhub now so you don't have to worry about that kind of problem anyway, because they'll always refund you. I'm sad to see all the harsh reviews of this place because it's my top 3 favorite Mexican spots in Philadelphia.

I ordered a chicken burrito, chorizo tacos, a raja tamale, and the orange/carrot juice. The juice was great. Fresh and delicious. the raja tamale was also pretty good. It was huge for 2 bucks! Came with a nice fresh salsa. The rest of the meal was not very good. Both the tacos and burrito were very very dry. They give you salsa, cream, guac and fresh limes to counter it. However, Taking a bite of either the burrito or the tacos without the condiments was unthinkable. Delivery time was long as expected. I waited 1.5 hours. I am comparing this food to taco trucks and burrito joints where they make the food right then and there. It's possible in the chorizo taco's case that it was only dry because they were sitting out for 1.5 hours. However, for the chicken burrito....the chicken was dry. I know dry chicken and that was some really dry chicken. Overall, I will never order again. But I might stop in at their south Philly location to give them another shot. However, I'll def skip the chicken burrito. Oh and they charge 3 dollars to add cheese to either your tacos or your burrito. That is a 50% increase in price for ..cheese.

After spending a week in Cancun this summer, I might have particularly high standards, about Mexican food. But in brief - Delivery took 90 minutes. We live 1 mile from the place. Food - Soggy, lukewarm, Ingredients cheaper than what you might find in a public school cafeteria. Totally bland and spice-less. I ordered chicken quesadillas - they were buried in iceberg lettuce, and something that looked like feta cheese. the cheese inside the tortilla was white and practically solid. My personal breaking point was finding a hair in my already grisly chicken quesadilla. They replaced it (it arrived another hour after we called with our complaint) free of charge. the second one was equally gross but hair-free. The bill was 28 for only half a dozen edible bites of food. Avoid.

Just go to Chipotle. Could spare nothing from this meal, even with my own seasoning. Still waiting on the stuff they forgot. Three hours I could've used to fly TO Mexico for a Mexican lunch.

I'm from Southern California, and have been to Mexico at least a dozen times, and speak some Spanish. I even have a food blog, and am a taco fanatic. I once ate 100 tacos in two weeks just for the hell of it. I know good Mexican food when I see it. Fiesta Acapulco is good Mexican food. The bad reviews? I mean, come on. ONE WEEK in Cancun does not give you "high standards." One bad experience with a waitress doesn't define a restaurant - particularly with one who is likely more fluent in Espanol. So now to Fiesta Acapulco. First: the hours and delivery range are wonderful. Second: the menu is extensive, and generally authentic. Third: the food is good, particularly if you're a Mexican sea food person. Fourth: the prices are AMAZING. A note on the fish tacos. Food often varies by region. Just like American barbecue can vary from North Carolina to Tennessee to Texas, Mexican food is the same way. Sometimes fish tacos are equated with the breaded Baja California variety. Their fish tacos are not breaded - but they are GOOD. Tonight, we ordered a taco plate, a tamale, and a big chicken burrito, and got it delivered for $13.99 through Grub Hub. (Thursday is burrito night.) The BOMB. I'll be exploring their menu further in the future, and I will update this review accordingly!

Listen, the food's not bad. And yes, I appreciate free delivery. I do. but don't take nearly two hours. If it's free I'm happy, but that's no reason to take TWO hours. I starved waiting for this food and honestly, it's not cool.

I've been waiting for two and a half hours for food and still nothing. Now I call and it appeared to be closed. She told me to call the delivery guy and didn't give me his number and hung up. Completed incompetence.
(1)Emily S.
We ordered from Fiesta Acapulco because I wanted to try queso tacos (3 for $6.50) and because the prices seemed fair. Delivery was within the time limit and they were open late, which was nice. I was a little disappointed when the order arrived because the queso tacos were just that- soft tortillas and cheese and nothing else. It was a bit like an undercooked plain flauta, or a grilled cheese in tube form. Two were edible but one tasted a little funny so I didn't finish. I also ordered rice and beans, but stopped eating when we found not one, not two, but three hairs in our food. Too bad, because I was enjoying the rice. My search for decent Mexican delivery continues.
(2)Rose F.
Food is decent, but delivery took two hours. Like Sarah O., I've been burned twice with long waits before but I figured there was no harm in giving it one more try. Yeah, never again. I called the restaurant after an hour-and-a-half had passed and the guy who talked to me was condescending. He said "It's COOOOOMING" and told me to be patient, like I was a little kid. No apologies or anything.

At this point the 'Italian Market' is filled with a handful of moderately priced taco places. Fiesta Acapulco is just another one of those places to me, except I'm really into their nachos, sans meat. The one thing that sticks out though is the customer service! The ladies that work behind that counter are the greatest. They go out of their way to ask if you're okay with everything that is being put into your food, and will even bring the food to you while you're having a casual drink at the bar next door. It seems as though they close when they want to, be careful of that. It's definitely worth a shot.

Just walking by and decided to stop in for a snack without looking at reviews. Ordered a classic, simple fish taco. I looked at the reviews and wondered if I did the right thing. I received 3 delicious tacos with typical veggies and cubed chunks of moist, piping hot fresh fish! I squeezed some lime and put some guacamole on each, and I felt like I was in heaven. I'd go back for those tacos again. Downside was that it took 40 minutes to get my food. It looked like they had a big takeout order before me, so the chef was busy taking care of that. Still, I felt that 40 minutes was too long. I'll just have to make sure I leave plenty of time if I do end up going back.

The burrito I got was almost entirely rice, with the smallest amount of steak sprinkled in here and there. Pretty disappointing.

There's certainly no dearth of Mexican joints that deliver in S. Philly, but I've had some pretty simple food be pretty crappy so I decided to move a few blocks East in my search for a few decent tacos for lunch. I have to say that all I've ordered from Fiesta Acapulco are the chicken tacos, with queso chihuahua ($1.00 extra, but since it comes from the milk of such a small dog, it's an understandably pricey delicacy) The tacos are always excellent, delivered with plenty of lime and cucumber slices. My last order (today) came with an unwelcome surprise that was quickly remedied. The delivery guy arrived without ANY change so I was forced to tip him $9 on an $11 order. He promised to come back later; I rolled my eyes and shut the door, content to eat the tacos and the loss. To my great surprise, 90 minutes later he showed up with my change, apologizing for the inconvenience. I'll definitely continue to patronage them, maybe even trying something else next time.

Got food from here delivery via seamless. It took a while like 50 minutes to be delivered but it was pretty late at night. The food itself was delivered hot and excellent. I loved the fish tacos (3 for $7.50 is a great price). The tamales, fried plantains and chicken burrito that we ordered were also great! I would definitely recommend this place for late night Mexican food cravings...

I've ordered from Fiesta Acapulco twice through GrubHub, and both time I've had the same experience. The food was very good, extremely cheap, and a little late. I'm not going to lie to you and tell you this is the best Mexican in the city, but if you live in an area where finding above average Mexican is nearly impossible (for me that is Fairmount) then you should really consider this place for delivery. Their tacos are tasty and they give you plenty of toppings to accentuate them. Their salads, nachos and tamales (only $2!!!) are also very good. Both of my orders arrived about 20 mins later than quoted through GrubHub, but the orders were correct and still warm, so you really can't complain too much. All in all, I really like this place and hope they keep delivering to a wide part of the city.

I'm surprised this place has such poor reviews... For me, college student, living in north philly, with a craving for mexican food that qdoba just doesnt satisfy... this place is perfect. For one, 6.50 for a burrito, a HUGE burrito, with salad and guac and sour cream and whatever else you ask for along with it. They deliver to North Philly, which makes them the only mexican place that will deliver to my house. And FREE DELIVERY! and on top of that, they are open till midnight. Just so many things that are great about all of that. So far my friends and I have ordered from here twice and everyone has been more than satisfied with their meal. Definitely a really good value for a dinner, awesome amount of food It took a little while for delivery (about an hour) but I don't mind, delivery guy was really nice and I don't blame them, I'm shocked they deliver this far north... I'd rather wait an hour for them to deliver from their location than to not have the delivery service at all. Anyway this is definitely a place I will continue to order from if I want a burrito at my door!

Couldn't have had a worse experience. Apparently they do not understand what vegetarian is, how to deliver, or how to simply record a simple order. I'm am extremely displeased with this establishment.
(1)Dan W.
It took them 90 minutes to deliver some tacos, and I live 8 blocks away.
(1)Scott B.
Took 80-90 minutes to get the food. Food was cold. Nachos had stale chips and cheese was hard. Enchilada was disgraceful. WOULD rather buy a ticket to Mexico and fly there to get a real meal than to eat here again!

I went to check out this restaurant after a friend raved about this place. He ordered take- out: three appetizers that he said were the size of entrees. I sadly was very disappointed with my dine- in experience. When I first came in the woman was very friendly and shook my hand, but then I think she realized I am not the person she thought I was and was no longer friendly. My boyfriend and I ordered three appetizers. They were not the size of entrees and were made up of mostly iceberg lettuce. The woman also brought out nachos con guacamole instead of nachos supremos, which I ordered. Also, I asked if they had horchata and she said yes, but never brought it out and I didn't see it in the drink case. My boyfriend ordered a Mexican soda and had to get it himself, even though for the Spanish speaking couple she brought the drinks to them and also brought them cups with ice. The total bill ended up being over thirty dollars with tip. I had to buy my own bottle of water because she never offered to bring a cup of water. I wouldn't recommend going here. There is nothing special about the food and the service is crappy.

If you are looking for Americanized Mexican food, this restaurant is not for you. I lived in Mexico for a year and Fiesta offers up a variety of different authentic, street style foods. The same types of foods I ate from street venders all over the DF. The tacos don't disappoint! Tamales are light and not at all dense or dry. Tasty aguas frescas to accompany the meal along with Jarritos sodas. Get the Fried plantains for dessert and you won't be disappointed. I've ordered delivery from GrubHub a couple of times. My only complaints: the delivery was about 30 min later than stated and the savory dishes could use a little more salt.
(4)Thomas D.
Ordered the nachos supremo, chalupa, beef tacos for delivery. All were good. Good guacamole especially. Reasonably fast delivery to Fairmount, food was still hot. Nachos got a bit soggy but that's to be expected. Reasonably priced Mexican food, good value.

THESE PEOPLE SUCK!!!!! Don't ever go here and definitely DO NOT give these people your credit or debit card number! Nearly two months after I had a debit card dispute with this restaurant over an incorrect food order they would not refund, somehow they managed to charge my card again! This is even AFTER I got a new debit card with a new number. I have no idea how they could do this, but they are shady, ignorant pieces of crap.
(1)Greg S.
I had the best Burrito of my life last night at Fiesta Acapulco. 5 of us ate and ALL meals were amazing. Each meal was custom made real time. This appears to be a family operation with husband and wife cooking and serving. I live in the suburbs and will now travel to south Philly to eat here. And, to top it off, it was inexpensive. This place is not to be missed.
(5)Sarah O.
I ordered from here twice, before tonight. The first time the food was pretty good, granted it was just a burrito, but still it was good. The 2nd time it took more than two hours to get my food and the staff offered no apology. I didn't order again for several months but tonight I thought maybe I'd give them another try ... "who knows maybe that was a fluke?" I said. Wrong!! After more than two hours I called to check on my order and the person on the phone quickly responded that they weren't bringing it because of "car trouble". I don't know why they didn't think to call me two hours ago, but now I'm starving, I'm pissed and I will never ever order from this poorly managed sham of a place again!
(1)Nicey J.
Ordered from grub hub. My order was 2 hours late and it was incorrect. I'm a veg head and for some reason my cheese empanadas came as chicken empanadas. I had called grub hub so many times and it had been over 2 hours so I didn't bother. Luckily I pulled it apart before biting in!! I paid for extra guacamole that I never received, and the guacamole coincidently was terrible. Literally the worst I've ever had. I'm so out it's not even funny!
(1)Kristina C.
I don't give out 1 stars often - but fajitas made with canned green beans, carrots, peas and corn are used, 1 star is generous! Ordered through Grub Hub and here's the dirty run down; - Steak Tacos: not much meat or flavor and tortillas were rather dry. - Guacamole: I think it was squeezed out if a bag, no flavor (gag) and doesn't come with chips (really!!) - Beans: runny runny runny. - Fajitas: OMG! They opened canned green beans, carrots, peas and corn..threw in a couple pepper and chicken...the WORST fajitas I have ever seen/tasted! We could not ever eat them. - Rice and a Salad: random and no dressing for the salad...rice was what it was. I seriously can't stress enough to not order from here, it was just awful!! It took a lot of hot sauce to get it down.
