Acapulco Bar & Grill
About This Spot
Stepping into Acapulco Bar & Grill feels like finding a warm, familiar corner of Mexico right in the heart of Birmingham. Nestled quietly at the edge of a bustling shopping strip, this spot strikes a balance between casual comfort and lively charm. The pace is relaxed but vibrant, where the hum of conversation mixes easily with the clinking of glasses and the sizzle from the kitchen.
The atmosphere invites visitors to unwind and savor moments—whether sharing a bite with family, catching up with friends, or simply taking a pause from the day. There’s a gentle warmth to the space, a welcome that feels personal without rushing you onward.
Here, the food unfolds as a key part of the experience rather than just a menu to navigate. You might find yourself drawn to the hearty, generous bowls of chicken tortilla soup or the bright, fresh rhythms of guacamole and salsa served tableside, each bite layered with familiar yet distinct flavors. The margaritas in their many forms, from classic frozen options to the smooth, coconut-infused versions, create a natural companion to spicy, vibrant dishes and the convivial atmosphere.
The charm of Acapulco Bar & Grill doesn’t come solely from its dishes but also from the way the team tends to each guest as a valued part of the story. Staff move with a genuine ease, attentive but never intrusive, adding a touch of thoughtful hospitality that makes each visit feel a little more special.
For those who long for authenticity mingled with comfort, Acapulco offers a quiet celebration of Mexican flavors and spirited moments in a setting that encourages both connection and ease.

There is plenty of parking as this restaurant is in the corner of a big shopping strip. We were seated quickly and chips and salsa arrive at our table within 30 seconds. The chips weren’t that great but the salsa was good. They bring a small bowl of it, however. I had asked for a side of cilantro. I got a tiny plastic cup of it. I forgot to see what they charged me for it, but would’ve liked more. It did take our server about 10 minutes to get to us for our drink orders, however. By that time, we knew what we wanted for our meals and ordered accordingly. The water and soda cups are HUGE. I also ordered the chorizo queso. It was about $4-5 for a small bowl and $12 for a large. Absolutely delicious! But be mindful if you have high blood pressure. The salt is salting! We made it in time for their lunch specials. I was surprised that they have them on the weekends, but sure enough they did! I got the #14 which is a spinach enchilada, a beef taco and a pork tamale. They were all VERY tasty! Our server was polite and friendly. I failed to get her name, however, which is something I like to do. A positive lunch experience and will come back.

Very good experience! Came here for dinner. Was greeted with two kinds of salsa. One spicy and one not. We also had questions. My son ordered the plain nachos (just beef, melted cheese and Tortilla chips). It was very tasty and a large portion! I ordered the chicken. Tortilla soup. OMG!!! It was a BIG bowl! The soup was very good too! Slices of avocado were around the plate. Spanish Rice, Tortilla strips, pulled chicken were in the soup. It was very filling and tasty. I also had a small lime margarita. Very tasty meal. Service was quick (especially since it was Friday). I will certainly return.

Very friendly staff with good helpful service. Was honestly surprised to see Mole on the menu. Wasn't the best mole but it's sometimes hard to find to begin with. The rest of the food we had was amazing. I've lived in mexico before and the vibe was pleasant, the horata was good and the corn tortillas was how they make them in mexico, very authentic, very delicious. Eager to go back and try some other dishes.

We love this place! We don't even visit any other Mexican Restaurants anymore since this is the best one. The shrimps are always perfect consistency and seasoning. The plates are huge, we always end up taking home some food. And the Margaritas! OMG, best frozen Margaritas in a variety of flavors! It is very special dining in here because the customer is King & Queen there!

I stopped by earlier this week for lunch. The service was spectacular! The food was delicious. I ordered the #14 lunch option which is a spinach enchilada, a pork tamale and a beef taco. Everything was so fresh and well worth the price! I will definitely go back again.

Brought my fam here for the third time and the food never disappoints. Shout out to Kenia for excellent service! If you are a meat and seafood lover, I would suggest the Parrillada Acapulco Fajita, a MASSIVE mound of grilled steak, chicken, fish fillet and 2 gigantic skewers of grilled shrimp. Add to that a plate of spicy pepper and grilled cactus. Serves 2 people easily. There’s quite a few latino options in that neighborhood and I haven’t tried them all yet, but so far this place has been my goto.
