You probably enjoyed the first time because of the and time and
place. I have eaten at the Acapulco in San Diego (off Mira Mesa
or something?)  I should say we ended up there because it was
getting late and they're open late. The place was crowded and
loud, and when we asked the waitstaff if it was always like that
they said that they are a sort of  "club" at night, so I guess that
explains that. The first thing I saw on the menu that tipped me
off we were in the wrong "mexican" joint was chicken wings...
Worse yet, I think the menu even called them "Buffalo Wings".

Someone in my party took my criticism as a taunt and ordered them.
That turned out to be a mistake, since they were not tasty upon her
initial bite and then she noticed that it was undercooked. We had to
send the health-code-red wings back. And since our food would be
arriving soon we did not seek a replacement. I ordered fajitas, and
that was yet another mistake. The cook had cut the meat (I assume
they had the sense to use skirt/flank steak) the wrong way. If you
don't slice that cut of meat perpendicular to the muscle's grain, you
end up with tough slices that yank out of your rolled up fajitas and
are subsequently tough to chew. The best fajitas I had experienced
in CA was at a Red Onion location in the LA area (I wanna say off
Santa Monica?) Note I didn't say they were excellet, just that they
were the best I've had in CA. Chain mexican will always be just that.
