48 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!“

Couple tables with a sun cover out front, so a decent place to sit considering it's just a truck and not a full restaurant.

“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!“

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!“

“**Clean, friendly staff, and great food for vegetarians!**

The veggie fajitas are an excellent choice for vegetarians—flavorful and very filling. My husband and I shared a portion, and it was more than enough. The beans and rice were also delicious. The service was prompt, the staff was friendly, and the restaurant was well-maintained. Overall, a great place for a satisfying and enjoyable meal. We also love the margs, happy hour is the best!

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian portion of the menu with plenty of options to sub meat out.

Parking: Very large lot

Kid-friendliness: They offer a kids menu“

“El Toro is not just another Mexican restaurant it's the Mexican restaurant. I go every Saturday for the fantastic service and food. This is my favorite location but they are all amazing, try one today you won't regret it. Great food, great price and even better service.“

“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.“

“I am a big fan of Mexican and TexMex food, therefore I'm very critical, which is the only reason I gave the food a 4. If I had to say I give it 8.5 out of 10. I ordered the monster burrito and it lived up to the name. The plate filled me up very well. My server was on point and the experience overall was great. Also, you're not waiting for a long time for food to be prepared. That's always a plus in my book.“

“absolutely delicious 10/10“

“Every meaI I've had here has been a mouthwatering delight. Seafood and sides are cooked to perfection! I make it a point to introduce friends to this experience.“

“Fast, friendly service. Food was great!“

“Recently developed menu (we ate there in May 2024), from when we had visited in the past. Still, the burritos and Mexican inflepuenced salads were great. We had a very attentive waitress/server. The setting included a nicely decorated interior with various touches of Mexican influence. Prices have gone up about the same as other restaurants. We enjoyed the restaurant on Mother's Day.“

“La comida muy rica, el servicio muy bueno, definitivamente un excelente lugar en dónde comer, super recomendado!“

“Had never been there until Thursday. And I will definitely be back. Really good tacos“

“Este es una fantastico panaderia con recisimo pastels frescas.This is a great Mexican/Latino bakery. They have wonderful fresh pastries that are very good.Don't expect them to be as sweet as the normal cake or donuts you find in an American bakery, but they are just as good. Try them out, experience something new, and very good.“

“Hot heads is the best. As long as you order in person. If you order online the just throw it together and you get less. But if you go online it's quick, easy, and good portions. I would pick here over any other burrito place

Kid-friendliness: I have no problem bringing my kids in here. I have never had a bad experience.“

“Not sure where else to submit this survey, if there is a more beneficial place to leave it, I would more than be happy to do so.
I have been ordering taco bell very frequently on grubhub this pregnancy. I have had numerous issues with other neighboring stores getting my complicated orders wrong. However, this store has done nothing but make sure every single item is correct despite how complicated and crazy each order is being super pregnant and vegetarian. Everything is perfect every single time.
Thank you so much for not messing up my food at all! I appreciate the attention to detail and care you have with my orders!

Vegetarian options: They will make anything vegetarian correct every single time“
