FAIRVIEW PARK, Ohio -- After a quarter of a century in North Olmsted, Nuevo Acapulco has moved down Lorain Road to its new Fairview Park location.

“We moved because it’s a much better location with a patio,” said Nuevo Acapulco owner Charlie Rico. “One of the biggest reasons why we moved to Fairview Park was we weren’t able to have a patio in North Olmsted, where we had been since 1994.

“We realized a lot of customers wanted us to have a patio, so we found this place a couple miles away. We’re really happy with the move.”

As for the patio, Rico said Nuevo Acapulco plans on opening it soon, with about a dozen four-top tables.

“Everything about the move has been great,” Rico said. “The building in North Olmsted was really old and it needed a lot of work. This location in Fairview Park, we still had to put some money into it, but it’s a much better building.”

Located at 21750 Lorain Road in the former Stamper’s Bar, Nuevo Acapulco is known for its authentic Mexican cuisine, which Rico said dates back to his roots in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Menu-wise, Rico said the most popular dishes include tacos al carbon and carne asada. The Mexican dishes also include spirited fajitas, pork carnitas, burritos, enchiladas and selection of daily specials and desserts.

“People like everything,” Rico said. “A lot of them come in because we have a big selection of margaritas. Also, a lot of people come in because of the food. We have a big menu. And then a lot of people come in for both.

“The other thing about Nuevo Acapulco is we treat the customer like family. That’s something they really enjoy.”
