El Acapulco Mexican - Cape Girardeau

Half-price appetizers and an extensive happy hour are always enticing. While the appetizer selection is somewhat limited, the margaritas are what you would expect from a typical restaurant mix. However, the...

The bathrooms were completely dark because the lights were out. I ordered tacos that were supposed to come with three, but the waiter only brought me one. When I asked about the others...

The salsa tasted like basic tomato juice, the service was a bit slow, and while the food was hot, it lacked flavor. I didn’t leave a tip, and when I went to pay, the server asked me about it.

The food is usually very good, and the thin chips are the highlight! However, I find it difficult to leave a glowing review due to the service, which falls short compared to other restaurants. On nearly every occasion I've dined here, except for one, I've felt hurried by the server. Even right after receiving my meal, they continuously check in, which often makes me feel like an inconvenience. Additionally, during my last visit, I discovered bone fragments in my chicken. When I brought this to the waitress's attention, she laughed it off and mentioned it to the manager, implying that we were exaggerating. Although they did offer us a new quesadilla without chicken, the lack of professionalism was quite evident.

During my first visit, the food was excellent, while the service was decent. It felt like we experienced some delays between placing our order, receiving our food, and getting the check. However, overall, it was a positive experience. Our waiter was friendly, but not very present during our meal, even though the restaurant wasn't too busy. I would suggest managing your expectations regarding service to improve your experience.
