Acapulco Gold (Sativa) Acapulco Gold has a reputation for being one of the best cannabis strains ever created. The flavors provide a “juicy” sweetness similar to a fruit cup with notes of cherimoya, berry, passionfruit, mango, and earth notes to ground it. This strain comes from the area in and around Acapulco, Mexico, and its orange hairs resemble a gold nugget, hence the name Acapulco Gold
