Acapulco in Leipzig

There were 5 of us there. Unfortunately it started with the drinks order, it took a long time and a drink was forgotten. All in all, the food was ok. Cheese sauce was very tasteless. The payment process was also rather slow; it took a long time despite the fact that it was relatively empty

Great food and super friendly staff!

Food, super delicious! The service was extremely friendly and accommodating. Just take a look.

Chicken skewers, with fresh salad and spicy sauce, very nice!

The enchiladas... simply amazing

Way too expensive for the food. 26 euros for the acapulco plate. 3 prawns, cheap chicken and pork and a bit of salad. Outrageous! I asked myself where the Mexicans were. Well, absolutely not recommended! Thanks bye.

I can only agree with the positive reviews. Very tasty food at a fair price. A great selection, also suitable for vegetarians. Very friendly staff. We didn't have to wait long for our food. We particularly liked the guacamole and can only be recommended. The homemade schnapps was also outstanding. A successful evening, great. We always like to come back.

Very tasty, inexpensive Mexican food. We found this restaurant through good reviews and were really impressed with the place. The vegetarian selection here was also really great. Even my vegetarian friend immediately found something to her liking! I had the Burrito Mix, which I can definitely recommend for spinnach fans. The portions were good for the price and they came very quickly. The staff was also very nice and loving, which also led to nice conversations with them. Definitely highly recommended for all Mexican lovers!!🌮🌯

I had nachos here with my friends as an appetizer. The dips were incredibly good, and the guacamole was recommended. The main course was the Borito Mix, also really great! The vegetarian selection was also surprisingly good, our vegetarian friend got her money's worth. The people were also all friendly and open to conversation. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to eat Mexican food in Leipzig. Very easy to reach by tram (11 or 51). Will definitely come again!😍🥰

My friends and I had dinner here together and it was very enjoyable. There was a wide variety of vegan options and I really enjoyed the three vegan tacos. The service was super friendly and you felt very welcome. I can only recommend it!

Honestly great staff they were really sweet even tho we were very lound and kind of annoying so thanks for the great service ❤️❤️❤️

Price services in relation Top! Tastes good and portions are also suitable for teenagers. Is recommended!

Food always tastes very good. Great service. Very cozy atmosphere. Best bar in the karli, we would love to come back.

Great bar on the Karli, very good mixed drinks and a very nice atmosphere. The owner is really personable. I can only recommend it!

best restaurant in all of Leipzig

An authentic bar that has a good staff with character

Best shop, best drinks, best food, best waiters and especially best boss. Vallah

Best employees, great service, all the waiters are very nice, the food and drinks taste very tasty. Always my pleasure!

It's a really great location, the service is really great and the food is really tasty. I love beef quesadillias Great atmosphere here, we'd love to come back

Recyclable food, damn bad cocktails I've never had food poisoning like this before 🤮

The food didn't taste good at all and the service was really unfriendly. No recommendation.

We ordered four dishes and drinks, but unfortunately we didn't like any of them - even the drinks were disappointing. A lot of money for nothing.

Great food, very friendly family service, the house schnapps is delicious, the Mexican is highly recommended

It's loud, GORGEOUSLY loud. It feels like everyone is talking at once. This atmosphere gives the delicious food a special taste. It's Friday, 7:00 p.m. The tables fill up quickly. It's also worth taking a look at the menu online and ordering a table straight away.

Our last visit to Acapulco was two years ago. I was looking forward to today's visit because my previous, albeit irregular, stays had always given me a treat. When we arrived at around 6:15 p.m., we were surprised at how busy the place was. We didn't know anything like that in the past. When I shared my impressions at the reception, I was told that 35 reservations would arrive shortly. Apparently a change of operator has now taken place. Our order was accepted quickly, but it took a long time given the small number of visitors. The food was disappointing and seemed more Indian in terms of spices. The look alone was reminiscent of Mexican food. My criticism vs. The waitress didn't find an open ear. On the contrary, it was not accepted. I was told that no guest had ever shared my feelings. When we left at 7:30 p.m., the restaurant was even less busy than when we arrived. Conclusion: Anyone expecting Mexican food, the quality and taste of yesteryear will be disappointed. Since there has also been a significant increase in monetary terms, the price/performance ratio is no longer correct. We will not visit the Acapulco again.

Unfortunately the food wasn't that good, but the service was very friendly and attentive

Food was very tasty and relatively inexpensive. However, we had to wait quite a long time for our order. The staff was still friendly and the location is good for eating outside, especially in summer.

I can't accept a burrito with spinach instead of beans and rice as authentic Mexican. The individual components tasted good, they just didn't seem harmonious. The shape of the burrito reminded me more of a quessadilla. The service was standard. The location is quite large, you can sit outside or inside and the decoration looks Mexican, but a bit fake and not harmonious. For a cocktail evening you can always go to Acapulco, but for an evening with Mexican food I prefer to go to other restaurants.

The food is very, very tasty, the enchiladas that I had tasted very good and the service is also very, very good

Dip and house schnapps were great and the mixing ratio of the Aperol was just right. The price is a bit expensive. The service is friendly.

A very nice and above all delicious Mexican restaurant! There is something for everyone, but the menu is a bit full, making it difficult to choose. But there is also something for vegetarians. We were there with a large group and at the end we each got a shot on the house. Very nice staff and definitely worth an experience!

Great food, but spicy. People were very nice and the price was right

The best enchilada I have ever eaten!!!

Great food with perfect service, just great

Great loading, great service, great shot

Super nice service!!! Best restaurant in Karli

Nice shop, food and drinks taste good.

This is one of the best restaurant in Leipzig. The food here is really amazing and the customer service is really commendable. If you ever been in Leipzig, please try this restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Very nice establishment, good service❤️🥰 pleasant waiters and administration, a good place to relax! The food is very tasty🤤

At lunchtime we checked the website to see what kind of food was available and made a selection straight away. In the evening we unfortunately discovered that the dishes we wanted were no longer available and the prices had risen considerably. The food was delicious and the service was very friendly. She also explained to us that the website is from the previous owner and the menu is about 4 years old. All in all Still an unfortunate experience.

Very cozy atmosphere. The service was friendly and everything went super quickly. With the large selection of drinks, it would be difficult to decide, but the homemade lemonades are definitely recommended! The food was very tasty and the large portions were also perfect for sharing. We had a very nice evening. I recommend it.

Great bar with a good selection of drinks. The staff is very nice and accommodating and the atmosphere is very nice.

Wonderful atmosphere, good music and great drinks. With delicious snacks and friendly staff I like coming here

The drinks were good but completely overpriced. Service underground. We waited forever for the bill, got the wrong change and no service at the table.

Very poor, inattentive service. No comparison to the old Acapulco. A big disappointment. Food is ok, nothing more, but unfortunately far too expensive. Waited 1 1/2 hours for the food without being informed of the waiting time. The ambience was carried over from its predecessor but never renovated. Toilets were dirty, toilet seats were broken. Horrible!

Hello Strammer here, was with you today with my work colleague the red Zora! Since we were super stoned from the weekend, we wanted to take a trip through Mexico... Their tacos were top notch and my food topped everything! She only had one non-alcoholic cocktail, even though she's not usually like that, but it was MasterClass. My beer also tasted good... Now we go for another walk around Le with the projector and then off to bed! Greetings, vegetables to the team, you are great!!! Sorry, 5 stars are only available for Thai... 😎✌️

Best place to enjoy your evening, good food, good service , pleasant atmosphere to spend good time with your friends.

Was here for dinner on Karli for the first time last week. The food is nothing exceptional and the ambience is just that of a main street. But if you're looking for a nice student bar with decent food at fair prices, it's totally okay.

Very tasty food. I had the chille quesadillas. They were really tasty and the service was also very nice and quick.

Great food, great music! Can only recommend going to Acapulco for a good and entertaining time!

Really poor quality, large portions but subpar taste.

I went there for the first time with two friends - on a personal recommendation. The restaurant has a very good selection of food (including vegetarian) and drinks. The dishes tasted very tasty and seemed to be prepared with love. The cocktails and house schnapps are particularly recommended! The entire staff was very accommodating and friendly. The prices are absolutely justified considering the top location and the good quality. All in all, we as foodies were more than impressed by Acapulco and we would love to come back!

Unfortunately there is a new owner (based on the staff/menu, Indian?), the guacamole is tasteless, the house beer is much worse, all the food is much more expensive...no longer the nice "Mexican" it once was. It's a shame, unfortunately it's no longer a recommendation for us! :(

Super tasty house beer, nice service, handsome boss. All round great. Only recommended.

Delicious beer, best service. I will definitely come back

Everything was great from A-Z, I can only recommend it! Thanks for the lovely service.

Extremely friendly and warm service. The food was also excellent. Nice ambience. Definitely coming back! :)

We waited an hour for our food and then another 30 minutes after saying we wanted to pay. The restaurant wasn't full. Meanwhile, I saw the chef using his fingers to eat something from an already prepared plate. In retrospect, I'm also very surprised at the amount of exactly 30 euros, which doesn't match the prices on the menu online. Well, I wouldn't go there again anyway, the food used to be great, today it's mediocre and drowned in salad dressing.

Best Mexican Restaurant. Very tasty, just great, highly recommended. Nice hospitality We were served very well and the food was served quickly.

My friend and me went here for dinner a bit later in the evening. The staff confirmed that the kitchen was still open, after over 1 hour of waiting time we asked about the quesadilla and nachos we ordered, nothing too fancy and shouldn't take too long, and it turned out they had clearly forgotten about it. We had to wait another 45 minutes until the food arrived. The nachos were baked with cheese and covered in sauce, cold, soggy and not crispy. Worst nachos I have ever had. The quesadilla was okay but nothing special for the price asked. When we asked for the bill they tried to charge us a dip we had previously ordered but never received and didn't even offer a discount or something for the long waiting times. Honestly, should have just left. Very disappointing experience and will never visit this place again.

I've known Acapulco for 20 years and haven't been here in a while. A small individual shop with 3 tables has developed into a mainstream restaurant. The two neighboring shops are now part of it and have been connected to each other with an opening in the wall. An outdoor seating area has also been added, which virtually doubles the restaurant space. So there is plenty of space. It used to be always crowded here and you had to book a table in advance to even get a seat, as it was one of the hottest restaurants in the city. It has now become manageable. The core staff is no longer there and you can tell that when preparing the food, which is no longer so lovingly prepared. In contrast to before, the taste of the dishes has deteriorated somewhat, hence the deduction of 1 star. It used to be a highlight for me to come here, but now it has become more of a mediocre experience, which is also due to the fact that the "Karli" (the bar mile in the southern suburbs, which also includes the Acapulco) has lost a lot of its charm has. I don't want to badmouth Acapulco at all, it is now a good restaurant, but in contrast to back then, it has declined significantly.

It was okay, but nothing special

Food and drinks are too expensive. The burito only had spinach and chicken, no Mexican spices, sauce, etc. ..18.50€ is too much for that. A glass of wine €6.50 is also exorbitantly expensive. The young waiter didn't feel like working and wanted us to order quickly and leave.

Wonderful food, great ambience and very nice staff. Recommend the house schnapps :) will definitely come back

Very loving operators, good service and very, very good cuisine. We're always happy to come back!

Very generous, very tasty. A bit pricey, and the owner pushed for us to write reviews, but gave us delicious Schnapps shots for doing so and had also provided complimentary dips. He was fun to talk to and the business is family-owned.

After the change of operator (new owner Indian) it no longer has anything to do with the previous quality. 1. It has become really expensive, example: Aperol Spritz €8.80, no non-alcoholic cocktail under €9, house beer €5. The food no longer tastes the same as before and is also really expensive (nachos (!) with 2 dips €9.50!). 2. The service is terrible. Slow, unreliable, zero attention. I recommend checking the bill carefully; there are items on it that never arrive at the table. The Acapulco is no longer recommended, I can only strongly advise against it.

The food was quite good, but I missed the side dishes or at least some salad, for example. B. To the tacos. All in all, the prices were a bit too high for the food. The service was friendly and came by regularly. The location right on the street is quite loud, otherwise it was nice to sit outside.

Loved the food and staff! Amazing drinks, had the best meal of my life. Drinks were delicious. Staff were very friendly!! Would recommend!!

The service was great and the food was good portion sizes!

Food is very tasty. Service is top. I miss the Mexican feeling a little, otherwise it's great!

I can really recommend the salad, the burrito and the quesadilla, it tastes incredible, I can only recommend this shop and the staff is very friendly

The food is seriously overpriced - especially for what they serve you, but it is not just the food, the drinks are also a joke - 17€ for two beers and a water? Rip off! The service is also a major disgrace. The waiters stand in the doorway and chat with each other, rather than look at the tables they should be serving. If they do stop having a gossip in the doorway, they don’t look at anything past the end of their noses. To be honest, why make an effort when you know you’re making a profit for mediocre food and overpriced drinks? Some people are not made for hospitality - and this bar proves it. The tables are not cleared when new drinks are brought to the table and the food, well, I tried what my friends ordered and had to laugh at them for paying 18€ for what looks like a child’s portion of something that is definitely NOT Mexican at all. Might as well eat dust - it‘d have more flavour and you’d get a bigger portion. Save yourself the money, time and effort. I will not recommend this place to anyone, not even my worst enemy.

I was here with a work colleague and watched football and ate something. I can only recommend it. Price/performance ratio is great. I would love to come back here

Very tasty food and very nice entertainment, the restaurant on Karl-Liebknecht Straße is highly recommended. 𝓘𝓬𝓱 and a friend ate there and watched it and had a lot of fun

Special recommendation - the Feta Quesadilla. And super nice and courteous service.

Unfortunately, price-performance isn't right at all. Carelessly prepared and inauthentic Mexican food for far too high prices. However, the service was very nice and on point.

I was here with my parents and we were super satisfied. Very tasty food and very, very nice service.

Cocktails are good, nachos and cheese sauce less so

I was at Acapulco today and my family and I really enjoyed it. I recommend the burritos and the gyro plate. I will gladly come again .

The new owners (Indian) have increased the price quite a bit. It no longer tastes the way we were used to. Gyros is not recommended at all. With the many recent reviews, some seem to be organized (indicated by the number of previous reviews or profile).

Acapulco, eating/drinking, watching the EM.... Everything was great and awesome. If you want to eat delicious food and spend a cozy evening, you're in great hands.

The food was really very tasty, the drinks were great but above all the service was great!!! The drinks can even be varied individually! Here you simply feel comfortable and in good hands!!!

The food was very tasty, especially the nachos with different sauces

Incredibly delicious food and super nice staff!

Sparkling wine on ice was very tasty and very nice service 😊

Service was super quick and friendly

Great atmosphere, super nice service, we had a great evening here!

Were here to watch the European Championships, the show has come👍

Great ambience and wonderful food! The service is friendly, the food is ready and everything runs smoothly. You feel very welcome here.

Food was more than convincing Price/performance great always happy to come back

Been there several times. Super delicious food and super nice service! Always happy

Great service, delicious drinks🤪

A highly recommended restaurant with great service and delicious food and drinks! The atmosphere is just great, we really liked it.

Mein Chilli sin Carne war super lecker! Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Die Lage des Restaurants direkt am Südplatz auf der Karli ist super gut zu erreichen. Die Sitzecken im Lokal sind sehr bequem. Die Auswahl der Speisen und Getränke ist reichlich und auch bestens für Vegetarier geeignet. Der Hauseigene Schnaps ist ebenfalls eine Empfehlung! :)

Unfortunately (no longer) good. As guests of the Wave Gotik meeting, we have been going to Acapulco for dinner with 10-12 people on the Wednesday before Pentecost for about 15 years. So far we have always been very satisfied and people remembered our group when we made the reservation and were always looking forward to us. Unfortunately, since Acapulco is apparently under new management, a lot has changed for the worse: Most of the old team is gone, and with it the good and warm service. First of all: The cocktails are still very good (hence the well-intentioned 2 stars overall). However, like the food, it is now at prices that you would expect in New York rather than in Leipzig. With all understanding for inflation-related increases in prices and increased VAT: the bow has clearly been overstepped here. Luckily I didn't have to pay for my food because I didn't get it: After the food was served to us after about an hour, no one was seen outside to ask for about 45 minutes. We were then asked if everything was OK, which of course it wasn't. I was "over hungry" and didn't want my food anymore. The suggestion of cooking my meal and giving it to me "to go" was no longer necessarily beneficial: I wanted to eat with my friends and not alone in the holiday apartment at night... An attempted compensation in the form of a house schnapps at the house's expense was also very unprofessional: it was offered to part of the table and not to another part. From conversations with friends, I learned afterwards that the quality of the food had decreased. Unless something fundamentally changes, I don't see a good future for Acapulco. We noticed that there were often many tables available even at peak times (we always live in the immediate vicinity). Apparently we're not the only ones who have had negative experiences recently. It's a shame about our evening, but above all it's a shame about a location that we looked forward to every time we visited Leipzig.

It was great with you :) really nice service

I always enjoy coming to Acapulco! The food is great, the cocktails are delicious, the staff is very attentive and always friendly!!

Best shop in town, free drinks, great staff, delicious food and a good atmosphere!cheers🫶🏻

great restaurant with delicious food & drinks. The house schnapps in particular is highly recommended :)
