Acapulco Joe’s | Outings Sharm El Sheikh Holiday Guide

Acapulco Joe’s

Overwhelmed – this is what you feel when you visit this restaurant at this part of the day. The red moon is casting its lonely lights on the water, the sea is bringing its salty breeze, the soft music of a Spanish guitar is playing melodies from the forgotten past touching every string of human’s soul, few visitors are dancing by the table, yellow candles are blinking lazily everywhere, unforgettable scenery of trees and flowers makes you feel at ease, lights of Naama are shining in the distance as if scenes from a different movie, Mexican cacti are growing proudly in front of the entrance as if guarding the place with their strong bodies, falling stars make you feel that you are living in a dream and the warm silence of the place leaves you speechless and overwhelmed with emotions…

Still wonder where this place might be? It is in Mexico… But the good part is that now you don’t have to spend up to ten hours on a plane, as this cozy Mexican restaurant with a speaking name “Acapulco Joe’s” is located only 10 minutes’ drive from Naama Bay in one of the most luxurious hotels of Sharm El Sheikh, ‘Renaissance Golden View’.

Having been on the market for already five years, the management of this place knows everything when it comes to authentic Mexican taste: “The food here is all home-made prepared by a true master Mr. Chef Sayed who has been working under the guidance of a Mexican chef for already more than a decade,” – says Mr. Abd el-Hamid, the manager of the place. And when you taste the delicacies of this restaurant which take you back through centuries, you lose the sense of time and space imagining yourself on the shores of the marvelous Veracruz.

Every inch of this place, every bite and every sip remind you of Mexico: the fresh juices seem to be sweeter, as if the oranges, mangos and pineapples have absorbed the hottest sun rays of Mexico and felt the caring touch of women cultivating them; the colorful combinations of seafood, meat and chicken along with a great variety of vegetables, fruit and spices create unimaginable flavours which can satisfy even the most demanding visitors. Here you will taste ‘Buffalo Fire Chicken Strips’ and ‘Jalapeno Peppers’; ‘Cabo Wabo Shrimp Brochette’ and ‘Sea Bass Veracruz’, ‘Jack Daniel’s BBQ Chicken’ and the delicious ‘Mexican Fired Ice Cream’ (you can forget about your diet only for one evening), not to mention the various sauces and side dishes, soft and strong beverages and guess what, everybody…even cigars. Be prepared though that the portions are huge and at times spicy (well, welcome to Mexico!), so don’t hesitate to consult with the waiters on the choice of the plates.

Catering to the needs of every costumer, this place also has a variety of non-spicy dishes along with a great choice for kids, who can not only enjoy a great meal but also play.

The beverages are a story in itself: not only this place contains all the possible wines imported from Italy, France, California, Australia and South Africa, hot and cold drinks and a new mango or strawberry margarita, but guests can also try making their own cocktails under the guidance of professionals, of course.

And don’t worry about the prices as they start from 30 L.E. per dish and 23 L.E. per a non-alcoholic cocktail. Please note that the prices already include serving charge and sales taxes.

Targeting tourists and locals, this place also has a convenient parking lot located only few meters from the restaurant. Live music on all days except Thursdays and Fridays is also an advantage, whereas a special membership card giving you 20% discount is a hot offer in itself. Now, tell me, isn’t it a warm Mexican greeting?

‘The Sinai Weekly’ team is sure that visiting this place once, you will not wanna leave. And we are still here as well ☺
