First time dining here and it was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and everything exceeded our expectations. What truly made the experience extra special was our waiter, Roberto. He was incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable—he made us feel so welcome and taken care of from start to finish. You can tell he genuinely cares about the guests’ experience. We will definitely be coming back, and we’ll be asking for Roberto!

SO nice to see our friends, Hector, KC and the amazing chefs here! My husband tried something new (Fish Taco entree w/veggies) and I think he found a NEW FAVE! Veggies were FRESH, lightly stir fried and the Fish Taco's were perfect! I enjoyed MY fave - Cheese Enchiladas and Beef Taco and it was SO good, I made sure to save some to take home and enjoy at another meal. Because Hector is SO good at encouraging my husband to try new things on the menu, he also fell in love with the Pomegranate Margarita! We also ordered the MOST AMAZING NACHOS on the planet and Table-side Quac and we were in HEAVEN! Cannot thank Hector, the TALENTED Acapulco chefs and KC enough for another great meal! THANK YOU for always making our date night, SPECIAL! It was a FIESTA!!!

Roberto was fantastic! He was very accommodating and really made our brother’s birthday special. He was quick and we had lots of fun. This was our first time in the Costa Mesa location - beautiful backyard and really helpful staff in general.

Perfect place to go for Sunday brunch. Be sure to sit on the patio to enjoy the fresh air and a little more space between tables. Servers are very customer-oriented and work hard to please.

We had reservations on Mother's Day but didn't get into the restaurant for about 30-40min after the reserved time. It was obvious the restaurant overbooked and the staff was panicking. Most of the food for the Mother's Day brunch was gone when we got into the restaurant. I think they extended it about 30 min after the 2 pm window but still the variety and amount of food was small for the amount of guest. We weren't offered water or champagne after being seated and eventually flagged down a waiter for champagne. My empathy goes towards the staff because being overbooked is challenging. I think we didn't get the Right experience because of this. It was also very warm inside the restaurant compared to the temperature outside.

Worst experience ever they ran out of food at all stations by 1pm people had to stand in lines to wait for food for 15/20 minutes. It’s supposed to be an all you can eat buffet. We will never go back.
