Acapulco Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Redding

Acapulco Grill & Bar happens to share the same address as the hotel on Ethan Allen Highway, but it is an independent restaurant with no affiliation to the hotel. Do not let the location fool you—this place delivers a truly authentic Mexican dining experience that deserves to be recognized on its own.

From the moment you step inside, you are welcomed with genuine warmth. The dim lighting and authentic décor create a cozy atmosphere, and the illuminated bar wall adds a lively, festive touch. The food is fresh, flavorful, and authentically prepared, perfectly paired with their delicious margaritas.

On our first visit, my husband and I were greeted by Nory Martinez, who welcomed us with the heartfelt phrase, “My house is your house.” It immediately reminded me of how my mother welcomed guests at home—warm, sincere, and inviting. That personal touch made the evening memorable.

The staff here truly elevates the experience. Yamileth, whom we recognized from another restaurant, brings a radiant smile and a personable approach that makes you feel like family. Manny was also wonderful—knowledgeable about the menu, attentive, and friendly.

If you're looking for an Authentic!! Mexican experience, this is it! This family-owned gem offers incredible food made with love and authenticity.

The service here truly sets it apart. The staff was exceptionally welcoming, treating us like family from the moment we walked through the door. They were attentive, friendly, and happy to share the stories behind the dishes.

This isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a heartwarming experience. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious, authentic Mexican food paired with...

In search of authentic Mexican food shortly after moving to Ridgefield, we were told about this place and it has been our favorite ever since!

It’s a family owned business and Nory instantly made us feel welcome. Open since fall 2024, the expanded menu is being served now. (9/28/25) Have to share our favorites!!

Appetizer: Homemade thin chips and salsa… Add the guac! Chile Relleno (appreciate it’s not breaded)

Entree: Pollo a la Crema Chicken Poblano (Amazing Sauce!) w/ mixed vegetables Birrias, Enchiladas, Refried Beans & Cheese Burrito… the new Quinoa vegi dish. All has been tasty!

Tip: Ask for a side of the secret family hot sauce. We LOVE it on the chicken dishes. Never tried anything like it! It’s so creamy but non-dairy. Wish they sold...
