Editorial Review for Nuevo Acapulco – by John Hyduk
The Scene
No doubt serving as a nail in the coffins of the many stylish East siders who make the drive for authentic Mexican food, Nuevo exists as part of a ... Days Inn. Yes, it's a non-descript square building. Yes, it's on a non-descript stretch of Lorain Road. And yes, at one point it probably was some wannabe HoJo. But who cares if the only blue lagoons and white sand beaches are the ones painted on the walls? These days, it's all about the food.
The Food
Nuevo boasts some of the finest Mexican dishes in the city. Specialties include chorizo sausage wraps, marinated beef tacos al carbon, and excellent chicken and rice. The salsa is fresh and highly addictive--especially when the made-from-scratch condiment is accompanied by camarones, quesadillas, and enough corn chips to carpet centerfield at the Jake. Be careful: Many patrons have been known to overdose on its spicy sweetness, and end up toting home the majority of their entrees.
The Weekend Wait
On Friday and Saturday nights, the wait is long and noise levels approach that of an air-raid warning. The extended lines and short fuses will go best with a couple of tall Cuervos in the lounge.

Went to the Nuevo Acupulco in Berea last night after all the rave reviews. The food was good, although everyone saying this place has the best margaritas, should really measure theirs against the best in the tri-county area, Mariachis Coco in Northfield. Five dollars on most nights for their 26 oz margaritas sweeps away the competition in price and taste. Their food prices are better too.

I have been going there for many years. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that place. Besides the food, my favorite beverage is a CADILLAC MARGARITA...ohmygod. I have to say that we shared a pitcher once in the bar area....not as great as individual glasses. They hook you up individually!!! I have never had a bad experience. The food has always been great. The service is excellent. The prices are right. I have been to quite a few Mexican Restaurants in Northeast Ohio. Nuevo Acapulco is still my favorite one after all these years. I never turn down any opportunity to feast there...and of course, with the Cadillac Margarita. YUMMMMM!! My mom (66 years old) as well as all my siblings always look forward to going there as opposed to any other restaurant. I could eat just the salsa and chips alone because they are so good and made from scratch. I do get them to go when I have a craving for them. If you like the salsa really hot, ask for the green salsa. WOW! My mouth is watering thinking about it. I have several friends who I have turned on to that place and they love it as well.
Pros: Motel next door if you have too many margaritas. LOL
Cons: None
