49 Best Mexican Restaurants in Dayton

“Sueño is now easily our favorite Mexican restaurant in Dayton. The atmosphere is vibrant, with great energy and stylish decor. The service is impeccable, complete with complimentary valet parking! Their cocktails are a highlight, especially 'The Guy,' and the food is out of this world. We tried the chips and salsa, (Salsa del Día), Tacos de Cochinita, and the smoked chicken enchiladas — all were absolutely delicious. The smoked chicken enchiladas were so good that we had to order a second serving. I could eat their chips and salsa every day; the salsa, possibly a fermented pineapple and jalapeño blend, is one of the best I’ve ever tasted. If you're looking for upscale Mexican cuisine, Sueño will not disappoint!“

“The food and service is awesome. If you are looking for authentic food, this is the place to go. Very impressed with quality and portion size. My new go to restaurant when in the area.“

“Had an amazing experience here! Great food, and amazing service! My two year old played claw machine and kept loosing, he was very upset. The nice staff opened it and made him believe he was playing and gave him a toy! They also gave one to my other son! Very sweet, and went out of their way to make his night! Food was great, and service was really fast! Very high quality building!“

“My friend lives off 3rd Street and said she had fabulous food here. When I pulled up I wasn't sure what I was walking into but have been there almost every week since my first time a few months ago. Great food, really good service and you get your food quick! And did I mention the prices! Wow so well priced. Great quesadillas, great burritos and out of this world salsa. Try them, you will not be sorry. In case you didn't realize, I highly recommend this amazing little family run restaurant.“

“The food is awesome! Wonderful staff. My favorite drink-sangarita. Everytime we are back in town we make sure to have dinner there. We ordered a lot from them during covid. It was a rough time for us all and I made a joke about a sangarita to-go. They eventually were able to do it and they still offer it ♥️“

“Me and my husband LOVE this place. Their tacos al pastor are the best ones we've had in a while, their salsas are refreshing and spicy, they give a good amount of meat on the tacos, and everything on the menu is delicious. I specifically enjoyed their steak burrito. They put the perfect amount of the ingredients and it was huge. They also serve a warm, comforting champurrado, which tasted perfect as well. 10/10 We recommend!“

“Mamacitas Cantina has quickly become my go-to spot for a fun evening with delicious, authentic Latin food! Love the vibrant decor and lively atmosphere! Made me feel like I was on a tropical vacation! The bar and food menu prices are reasonable and the cocktails are out of this world! Easily the best margarita that I've ever had and the pina colada was like a sip of paradise! The steak was the most tender that I've ever had in my life! Perfectly cooked and exquisite! My husband had the tacos and he loved them - we will definitely be back for their Taco Tuesday! I also heard that they have a dancing robot on Fridays...WHHHAAATT?! We have to see that! Our first visit was on a Sunday evening when they had karaoke, and it was a blast! We had so much fun! If you're in the Dayton/Kettering area and craving a taste of Latin America paired with a lively atmosphere, do yourself a favor and visit Mamacitas Cantina!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely incredible experience! This is hands down one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve been to. The food was and is always fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. We had the Nacho Fajita and the Fajita Salad both were amazing!

Customer service was top-tier. Our server, Aureliano, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel right at home. He truly went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. Highly recommend this place!

Englewood, Ohio location.“

“Breakfast burritos are 🔥 🔥“

“Fast, friendly service. Food was great!“

“If you're looking for AUTHENTIC, then this is a just try!! I always request the spicy salsa whenever I eat at any Mexican Restaurant, and I've had many that were very good, but the tastes that they bring out not only in their salsa, but all of their dishes, outshine anything I have had in Ohio. On top of that, the service is every bit as good, or better than the food!!“

“My wife, our son, his girlfriend and I came here for lunch today. We had heard that it was one of the most authentic hispanic restaurant / grocery store in town, so we had to check it out. It was awesome... They had great service, fantastic authentic dishes and great music! Five stars all day long! We can't wait to go back!“

“I'm a life long Dayton resident and used to love Elsa's. I wish now the Sheetz was going in. The quality of food has gone so far downhill this was my last trip to Elsas. Tonight the refried beans were dry and totally inedible. I mean beans hit with a masher and nothing else. No flavoring. No seasoning. BLAND Nachos had no salsa or sauce of any kind. Chicken, cheese, and dry beans. Chicken had no flavoring, no seasoning. Plain chicken. It was awful. And happy hour? What a joke. .70 cents off drink prices? I'd rather spend my money at Taco Bell.“

“Great service and food from our server and the GM. Thank you Shane for making our first time amazing.“

“Came for lunch on a Tuesday. They were very busy but my food came quickly and fresh!

The restrooms were clean and the restaurant is clean. Highly recommend stopping if you're in the area.“

“This location is a great place. I’ve been going here for practically 5 years straight. Once or twice I’ve meet the owner and he’s a great guy. There are a couple people here who have been working for a while now and they’re great. One issue though is they frequently hire family and those workers tend to be slower and very bad on portions. Overall great location and great food. Just try to train these employees!“
