Mexican Restaurants near Independence

“This place was absolutely amazing. Great food and excellent customer service“

“We went there on a busy Saturday night with three hungry teenage boys. After eating we left to drive the hour home. Well dumb me left my LV purse with cash and credit cards on the barstool. Needless to say they found my purse before I knew I lost it kept it safe in their safe til I was able to retrieve it today!! You made my day and gave back my hope that people really are good! Thank You Rockside Chipotle“

“Amazing food! Wonderful service!🤩 Todo es divino!!!“

“Visiting Cleveland and I needed a good margarita! Firstly restaurant is beautiful. Perfect for girls night, date night you name it. Server was amazing, very friendly and patient. I got the guac- gotta say 10/10 just the way I like it! But that margarita…lets be honest here I had a few margaritas on my trip to Cleveland but none of them matched the ones at blue agave. Perfectly balanced cocktail! Prices were very reasonable!! Also after I got home I realized I mislaid the receipt for my expenses- I sent them a message on Instagram and moments later the replied with a copy of my bill! Absolute lifesavers! I’ll be back in June and whenever someone asks me what’s good in Cleveland- blue agave will be the first thing I tell them about 👌“

“This was our 2nd visit and it did not disappoint. Jillian J greeted us with energy and information. She was on point from when we sat down until when we left. My wife had shrimp tacos, and I had birria quesadillas. Both were excellent including the grilled quac starter! See you next time we visit Cleveland!

“My husband and I really like this restaurant. The facility is clean and spacious. You never feel crowded. The staff is courteous. The food is always fresh tasting and arrives quickly. They have online coupons too!“

“Outstanding Food and service will keep you coming back!“

“The last time I had Mexican food this good I was in Cozumel eating at the home of a local. Everything here tastes incredibly fresh and authentic. Not one thing reminded me of a chain restaurant, this is the real thing. The food is made by people who know how it should taste. On this visit I had a carnitas quesadilla and the meat was tender and tasty, the tortilla perfectly crunchy. The service was fast but not rushed, friendly and helpful, gracious. Kudos to the team putting out food of this quality that is also affordable. A meal here will not only fill you up, but you might leave with enough for a late-night snack, too. Oh yeah, don't miss the Flan - I got one to go since I was stuffed from dinner. Thank you!“

“Uber eats food from here tonight and the bowls were super good. The chicken was moist but wish it was shredded better, there were chunks in it. Better than not having any chicken in it tho lol. The vegetables in my bowl tasted fresh. Didn’t see the sour cream in there but like I said it was really good taste. Will definitely order again :)“

“Great food, reasonable prices, terrific service, Alex our waiter, the best“

“we have been there once and heading back tonite. Took my adult grandsons and they absolutely loved their dinners..Hoping great success to this great establishment..Really good food“

“Sad that I hadn’t ventured here sooner. The atmosphere was calm and exciting at the same time. The guac was impressive, and the chips were perfect…and then the food came.

I was not at all expecting to have a steak this good. I can normally pick apart a steak but literally nothing on the plate was anything short of perfect. The potatoes were next level.

What an amazing meal.“

“Great catering experience - our guests really enjoyed their meals!“

“I just wanna point out that I’ve been in Cleveland now for quite some time and the best Mexican food that I have found so far has been here at Taqueria El Paraiso. I love their posole and especially love their chili Rellenos.
I would really recommend you guys give them an opportunity to show you how good their food really is. I eat there at least three times a week.“

“atmosphere was great, food was good. I miss this service since Moe's left. I wish their cheese sauce was better. homemade better, it was jarred. straight out of a can. I won't order that again but everything else was great.“

“Food and service was great BUT

and this is a BIG BUT
The parking lot needs attention. I was walking back to my car and the heel of my shoe got sucked into a small DEEP pothole and I fell and scraped bruised my knee really bad. I have included pictures of the location of the people eating hole. Avoid parking in front of the tree.

Would I visit again? Definitely. Food and service were great. I won't park where I parked again.“

“An incredible dining experience! The food was fresh and delicious, the service made our dinner totally incredible!! Dean, Zach, Kelley and Emma were fun, friendly and very attentive. Great selection of tequila and mixed drinks... an awesome experience!“

“amazing time, good food, great service“

“Excellent food! We definitely will be back.“

“Since when they charged the service fee for a party of 4? I know some restaurants have this policy for party over of 6,8,10 etc...., but for a party of 4? Really? Plus the tip is optional not required, I'm been there many times I love the food and I always had good service till today, the service was rude and terrible“

“It was a Hungarian restaurant called Balaton from 1995 till 2022. I hope the new owner can run his business at least as long and as successfully as the Hungarian team did it. Since I'm in Hungary and don't able to visit this area regularly, I was not able to visit this restaurant as a Mexican yet but I give you a 5-star in advance. I hope I can go there pretty soon and I also hope you don't mind if I enclose a photo of the former Hungarian restaurant from 2016, taken by me. Balaton moved to Bainbridge in 2022.“

“I like it. It is like a Chip-Pot-ul prolly a little better prolly just as expensive. Good selection of tasty food, it seems like there is much customization but I got the honey chicken that might not be there again. I was told for now it was temporary.The one I went to was more polite than any Chip-Pot-ul I've been to not that they were bad but not all that happy to see another customer.“

“This is such a cute little Cleveland pizza style diner. I love it so much. The food is delicious and the drinks are perfect.. The service is awesome. My favorite worker is a little girl named Halal, even though she never works and only sits on TikTok all day. I am just kidding. She always works hard. This place is a 10 out of 10 and I love the food so much“

“It's been years since Lucita's on w 117th closed. On the west side, it's been difficult to find good mexican food that can match.How good that was.
So I was really looking forward to eating at lucita's on shaker, square. We got there just as they were opening, the owner made us margaritas, which were absolutely delicious. Probably one of the best I've ever had. We ordered our food large portions fresh products. Nice preparation a lot of food for the price. We ordered a second Margarita. The bartender made us two that we could really hardly drink.They were so different from the very first margarita, so I highly recommend to the owner.Make sure your bartenders know how to make the margaritas.Just like you because that margarita was so bitter.I couldn't drink it.I had to have the bartender.Put some orange juice in it for me.So I could tolerate it.
And I heard from the bartender that the owner ray, we'll be opening a new place in lakewood soon, which we're really looking forward to!“

“The most authentic Trinidadian food you can get in Northeast Ohio! Super nice people! Incredible food! 100% would recommend to everyone!“

“The grocery store has authentic Latin American products that I could not find anywhere else in the area. Ordered steak plate from restaurant and it was also authentic and delicious. Real Latinx flavors. Highly recommend. El supermercado tiene productos Latinoamericanos que no pude encontrar en el area (totopos El Milagro, queso panela, paletas, pupusas, etc). Ordenamos una carne asada del restaurant y aliño estuvo delicioso.“

“I had the tings chicken quesadilla and the chicken was flavorful but a little dry. The horchata was very good.

I need to try some of there tacos! The prices are reasonable if not cheap (compared to just about anywhere else).
I will be back for elote and horchata!“

“My husband and I go there a lot, the food was amazing and the service was great, our waiter Lotto was so nice“

“Best Authentic Mexican food in town.“
