About Us

A Hidden Gem in Universal City

Don't let the location fool you — tucked into a small shopping center next to a gas station, Acapulco Express is the kind of place regulars go out of their way for. From the moment you walk in you're greeted with a genuine hello, and the walk-up, order-at-the-counter setup keeps things simple: grab a table or a seat at the counter overlooking the kitchen and watch your breakfast come together fresh.

The menu leans into what this side of San Antonio does best: breakfast tacos loaded with egg, bacon, chorizo, or carne guisada, and hearty egg plates like the Nopalitos con Huevo, all served with your choice of corn or flour tortillas. Portions run generous and prices stay friendly, and every plate comes with house-made red and green salsa — the red brings the heat, the green keeps it mild.

It's the kind of neighborhood spot where the staff remembers your order, checks back to make sure you're taken care of, and makes it right if something's off. Whether you're sitting down for a plate or grabbing tacos through the drive-thru on your way to work, Acapulco Express has built its following one satisfied regular at a time.

What Customers Are Saying

"When I come here to sit down and eat, the meal I get every time is the Nopalitos con Huevo. The meal is delicious, and I feel like the portions are very generous... They're also very attentive and come around periodically to make sure everything's okay. Definitely far better food and better service than I would have expected."
