The kitchen at Acapulco Delight loves a fried roll-up. The menu signature is the flautas — three crisp corn tubes served with guacamole and the full topping spread of lettuce, pico, salsa, cheese, and sour cream, with a protein choice tucked inside. The chimichangas hold the same shape in fried flour: three roll-ups, a protein choice, and that same loaded topping set landed on top. Both plates run at casual downtown Windsor pricing — flautas at seventeen-fifty, chimichangas at sixteen — and both make the same case for what this kitchen does best. Golden, generously dressed, built for an order the diner can picture before sitting down. Both plates have been on the menu since the family opened the doors, and both still anchor it.
The rest of the menu earns its place around those two anchors. Fries Supreme stacks crisp fries with nacho cheese, beef, pico, and sour cream, available in a smaller portion or scaled up to a full share — eight-fifty to fifteen dollars — and works as the table plate that lands in the middle before the rice-and-beans mains arrive. The combos lean into the numbered Mexican-counter format that regulars learn by heart: #2 Tijuana piles a chicken taquito, a chicken enchilada, and a chicken tostada on one plate for seventeen and lists a vegetarian path; #4 Mexicali runs vegetarian and vegan options through the same combo logic; #5 Tampiquena and #1 Acapulco fill in the rest of the numbered card. Big Burro carries the heavier burrito lane, Botana-Nachos and Guacamole + Chips cover the appetizer table, and plantains and churros with Nutella close out the sweet end without making a production of dessert.

How to eat at Acapulco Delight Restaurant
1
Start with Flautas
Order the flautas when you want the clearest read on the kitchen: fried corn roll-ups, guacamole, salsa, pico, cheese, sour cream, and lettuce all on one plate. They are compact enough to share, but substantial enough to lead the meal.
2
Choose Chimichangas for Crunch
The chimichangas move the order into fried flour-tortilla comfort, with protein choices and the same full topping set. They are the better pick when the group wants something richer than tacos but less sprawling than a combo plate.
3
Put Fries Supreme in the Middle
Fries Supreme is the shareable bridge between appetizers and mains: crisp fries, nacho cheese, beef, pico, and sour cream. Use it as the group snack if everyone is ordering different rice-and-beans plates.
4
Use Combos to Sample More
#2 Tijuana and #4 Mexicali are useful when one entree is not enough variety, because each plate stacks several familiar formats. They also give vegetarian diners a clearer path than many of the meat-led mains.
5
Keep Pickup in Play
The Square flow supports pickup and delivery, and the menu is built around travel-friendly dishes: burritos, tacos, enchiladas, chimichangas, loaded fries, and sides. That makes Acapulco Delight easy to use for a casual dinner at home without losing the core order.
Key Strengths
What this room does best
8.0
Budget Dining
Acapulco Delight works as a value-first dinner because the order can stretch across loaded fries, tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and rice-and-beans plates without feeling like a splurge. The strongest move is building a group spread around hearty staples instead of treating it as a one-plate stop.
8.0
Taco & Street Food
The menu has a street-food centre of gravity: soft tacos, corn street tacos, flautas, taquitos, burritos, and handheld combo pieces all matter. It is not only a taco shop, but the best orders still come from that fried-roll-up and tortilla-driven side of the kitchen.
7.5
Comfort Food Specialists
This is comfort food through a Mexican and Tex-Mex lens: chimichangas, enchiladas, loaded fries, nachos, burritos, and rice-and-beans plates. The appeal is generous, familiar, and direct rather than delicate or tasting-menu driven.
7.5
Delivery & Takeout Specialists
Pickup and delivery fit the food here because burritos, tacos, enchiladas, chimichangas, loaded fries, sides, and combos can travel without needing a polished dining-room ritual. It is built for an easy at-home dinner as much as a casual dine-in order.
7.0
The Neighbourhood Anchor
The family-owned-since-1991 identity gives Acapulco Delight the feel of a downtown Windsor regular rather than a passing concept. Its strengths are the repeatable ones: familiar dishes, accessible ordering, and a clear role in casual local routines.
