Acapulco Bar & Grill
Welcome to Acapulco Bar & Grill, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Birmingham, Alabama. Located at 430 Green Springs Hwy #1, this vibrant eatery is celebrated not just for its authentic Mexican cuisine but also for its warm, inviting ambiance and exceptional service.
At Acapulco, the menu beckons with a tantalizing array of dishes that cater to every palate. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty Sopa Costena—a seafood soup bursting with flavors of crab, shrimp, scallops, mussels, and tilapia—or the comforting Chicken Tortilla Soup, which is a delightful mix of shredded chicken, onions, avocado, and crispy tortilla chips, there's something to satisfy your hunger. The prices here are reasonable, with the seafood soup at $16.45 and the comforting chicken option starting at $7.95—a steal for such a culinary experience.
For those looking to start their meal off right, the dips are a must-try.

Pair these with their house-made guacamole for an additional $1.00, and you have a perfect prelude to your meal.
The atmosphere at Acapulco Bar & Grill is equally as appealing as the food. Patrons rave about the giant portions that often leave them with extra to take home. As Fatimah Mohammad notes, the perfect consistency and seasoning of the shrimp make it hard to visit any other Mexican restaurant afterward. The margaritas, particularly their frozen varieties available in multiple flavors, have garnered enthusiastic praise, making Acapulco a fantastic spot for unwinding after a long day.

“ 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. ”
