This place is an absolute hidden gem! Food is excellent, with very unique flavors that differentiate it from other Mexican food places. After trying every Mexican place in the area, Acapela has taken the place of my favorite.

Outstanding!!! This surf and turf salad was soooooo good. No skimping on the good stuff here - lots of Carne, shrimp, and avocado. The salsa is great....perfect amount of heat with great flavor. The space was very clean. And service was fast and friendly. I'll be back, for sure.

Food is always fresh and amazing. The rolled tacos and veggie tostadas are the best! Location is clean, cozy. Perfect for takeout. My favorite mexican food in San Diego
