Dwight’s comments:
This practically defines bad TexMex. Unimpressive fajitas, bad nachos, bland sauce: the queso flamedo is okay, though, and the service wasn’t horrible, but those are the only good things I can say: I left about half of my combo dinner on the plate because it was so awful. I suspect most of the customers are more interested in getting drunk than eating.
Lawrence’s comments:
Make no mistake: Baby Acapulco isn’t a restaurant, it’s a bar with a restaurant attached. And as a restaurant, it’s a pretty mediocre bar.
The food aspires to mediocrity, but doesn’t reach those mids. The fajita nachos were pretty close to the biggest nacho rip-off we’ve ever had (I think Jorge’s were worse): seven whole large chips, with melted American cheese. The salsa has a consistency close to ketchup. Likewise, the fajitas were undersized and not particularly tasty. To top it all off, service was iffy at best (we discussed tipping the water boy but not the waiter). And they forgot to bring out the extra chipolte sauce.
With Pappasitto’s, Amaya’s Taco Village, and a Taqueria Arandas all within a mile of this place, there’s no reason for anyone ever to eat here.
