Acapulcos Mexican Family Restaurant & Cantina, a mainstay for Tex-Mex cuisine in Beverly for over two decades, served its last meals on April 20, marking the end of an era. The closure was announced in a heartfelt Facebook post, which expressed gratitude to the community for their years of patronage and shared memories.
"From the start, you welcomed us like family. We’ve shared birthdays, anniversaries, and countless everyday moments with you—and every one has meant the world to us," the restaurant's team shared on their Facebook page, reflecting on the deep connections formed over the years, the management also mentioned they are "doing our best to relocate in the future," a somber note for an establishment that had woven itself into the local community’s fabric. According to MassLive, this is not the first closure for the family-run chain, as Acapulcos had already bid farewell to its Quincy location earlier in the year.
The recent shuttering of the Beverly site follows a series of closures for the Acapulcos chain, including their initial Sudbury location that ceased operations in 2021. Notably recognized for its selection of classic Mexican dishes from quesadillas and enchiladas to burritos and fajitas, the chain still operates other locales in Massachusetts and has expanded into Connecticut over the years. Details surrounding the specific reasons for the recent closure remain unprovided by the company.
Despite the closures, Acapulcos has expressed a desire to continue its relationship with the communities it has served, as indicated by past Facebook updates regarding their Quincy location where they wrote, "While this chapter is coming to a close, we’re doing our best to relocate in the future—and we truly hope to serve you again someday," hence leaving a door open for potential future re-openings where loyal customers might once again enjoy their favorite Tex-Mex fare.
