Mexican Restaurants near Independence

“There is plenty of parking in front and behind the restaurant. Lots of people working when we arrived at 5 pm on a Thursday so even thought it was busy we got a table right away and our food came quickly. Very attentive servers. Food was hot, fresh, and amazing. We both asked for slight modifications (no onion for him, sauce on the side for me) and they were accurate. Restrooms clean, temperature of the restaurant was good (not hot or cold) Definitely recommend!“

“Ke'shawn wanted to talk a little smack because I'm from Pittsburgh, but he hooked my bowl up! Best chipotle I've had in a long time. Nice guy and a good worker with a positive attitude. The rest of the staff was very friendly as well. Will definitely come here again the next time I am in town.Parking: Parking in front and rear“

“See Gina (Woodmere location) if you want great service. My husband and I (from MD) and my brother and his wife (OH) came here to celebrate my birthday. We had an awesome time! Gina was very informative about the restaurant and the menu choices. She was fantastic! Thank you Gina! We’ll be back!“

“Blue Agave Cleveland, an amazing place that you should absolutely try. Great food and the margaritas were terrific. Try street tacos and Mezcal-Rita. Decor looked great and service was amazing. Our server Kristela was amazing, patient and sweet. Thank you blue agave! Definitely a great experience.“

“Love margaritas? Love guacamole? Love Momocho! Momocho is the place to go if you are looking for a modern take on Mexican, a flight of margaritas, or a flight of guacamole. Yes, I said a flight of guacamole. Try it. Trust me. My friend and I sat at the bar, which is full service. I had a flight of margaritas and chose the blood orange, hibiscus, and pomegranate. For our flight of guacamole, we tried the goat cheese, the crab, and the peppercorn. For some reason we thought we needed more food, so I ordered the chile relleno and my friend ordered the camarones tacos. Excellent, excellent food. I am going to have to return to Cleveland soon so I can come back here! If you haven't been: be aware that there is a parking lot, but it is very small and fits about 8 cars, so you may have to look for street parking. There is some outside seating, some inside, and a little at the bar.“

“This is one of the most hospitable Hispanic restaurants in the Gordon Square Arts district! I would suggest going over the menu upon arrival...the music, energy and crowd can be a little overwhelming upon first visit. The servers cannot wait to meet you at the front door.The "Prickly Pear" is the most Deliciously Beautiful Drink they offer for a nice, relaxing"Turnt" before you eat.I've tasted everything on the menu...my favorite with the most"Bang for your Buck" is the "Chicken Chorizo Chimichanga'!“

“We loved our brunch at Avo today! I came with a group of friends and kids before a Playhouse Square's A Christmas Carol, and our waiter was amazing! I think his name is Matthew and he got all 9 of our orders totally correct, even with some crazy changes the kids made. The drinks were amazing, portions were large and we will be back!! He even made sure to get our food and checks out quickly so we could make the show in time.“

“This place is easily a 10/10. The food is authentic and SO good, ambience is fun and our server was absolutely amazing, she was working solo in her section while bartending and didn’t miss a beat. She gave awesome recommendations and the food all came out so quick. Hats off the chef!! Yummy!! Highly recommend and will come back next visit!“

“Always a great experience. Everyone is always very friendly and so great at multitasking when busy! Absolutely my favorite Mexican place around here! I’ve been going 4 of of the 7 days of the week since I tried it for the first time. 10000x better than chipotle but still offers “build your own” options and even a DRIVE THRU!“

“First time ordering from this place and I have no regrets. The tacos were amazing,the rice and beans were on point, the strawberry banana frozen margaritas were phenomenal and did there job, the girl who took My order over the phone had great customer service am sorry i didnt catch her name but whoever worked on Monday night and took an order around 8 great job u answered all my questions without an attitude n didn't mind me having so many questions.“

“Visited El Palenque with friends from work. All of us said the food was good. We had burritos, chicken quesadillas, and one had soup. Carlos was our server and he was very attentive. Excellent service!!! If we asked for something, we received it immediately. Excellent service is rare now and days. So big kudos to Carlos and the staff that assisted him. Oh yes, the drinks we had were tasty too....Pina colada, strawberry margarita, sangria, and beer . I would go back to eat there again!“

“The food here is EXCELLENT!!! The atmosphere & music was great. We experienced one of THEEE BEST strawberry mojitos we’ve had in our lives. Although they were short staffed this day, there was a server by the name of Bianca who was one of the best servers I’ve experienced in any restaurant setting. She definitely deserves a raise, & has friends for life from Pittsburgh. She made us want to return.“

“OMG!!! Best tacos I've ever had. Burritos and corn are great, too! Better than any I got in Texas. Friendly and wonderful service. Great place to have some tasty food at their picnic tables on Friday night. Great prices! This is NOT fast food. They make it fresh to order and it's well worth the wait.It was so good, we placed a second order to take home!“

“delicious food! pretty pleased with this restaurant! sat out on the patio, and it was really nice. the seafood burrito was pretty amazing, as was the burrito i got. loved the salsa, and the chips were very crispy. my only "complaint" is the lemonade tasted like lemon water, but i didn't mind too much. can't wait to come back and try more dishes and also get the fried ice cream - was too full to try it this time!“

“Great for families looking for a dining out spot to frequent in the area. Quick service, good kid options, loud open space, minimal wait to get seated. Food is very affordable, good portions, margaritas are excellent! One of the hidden gems on the east side of Cleveland for Mexican food.“

“Blue Habanero in Brecksville is by far one of the best restaurants!! The service is outstanding, I truly feel so welcome every time I come here. We have never waited for a table and I think it's because the food comes out like within 10-15 mins you almost never have to wait. The food is absolutely amazing too and every single time I have tried a new dish it is delicious. Highly recommend chorizo queso and their corner tacos. The ambiance is also really nice and I love the authentic art work. For all of these reasons, Blue Habanero is probably my favorite restaurant in the Cleveland area“

“It's not a bad place to eat TexMex. The flavors in the vegetarian options are weak and need some work. Tables are a bit tightly packed in making conversations less private.Vegetarian options: Lots of options, but they are on the bland side.“

“We had a company dinner there tonite......I have been to a lot of Mexican places over the years and this place hands down was the best .....the nachos platter could of feed four adults grown men. ....what an amazing place .....all the portions were giant and fantastic.......“

“No sangria! So I went with a Merlot. Healthy pour for $7. Brand was Sterling. They provide complimentary chips and salsa. They do roast the tomatoes for the salsa. That makes it the best. I ordered the Birria Taco Meal. Excellent dipping sauce. The tacos were meaty. The rice and beans side was a healthy portion. Rice was moist and delightful. They have four locations!! Wasn't aware. It's tucked in the corner of the center here in Northfield. There is also a nice size banquet room to keep in mind.“

“Back in December I was in the hospital in Cuyahoga Falls and my wife asked me if I wanted something for dinner and she said there was a Mexican restaurant right around the corner. Went on the website ordered a bunch of things and to my surprise everything was amazing and fresh. The flavors were outstanding. I couldn't have been more happy with a Mexican restaurant, then Wholly Frijoles in Cuyahoga Falls.“

“I simply love this place! I usually sit at the bar for happy hour and the service is great. On top of the service being great the food is amazing. The oxtail, short rib, and lamb tacos are my favorite pairs very well with a hibiscus margarita.“

“These burritos are massive. Had Uber Eats bring me a couple of these burritos and I had to double check they weren't delivered from the hospital, because they were as large as an infant child. Exaggerating a bit but you can bet I'm skipping Chipotle from now on.“

“This was our first visit to Barocco Larchmere since its conversion back from Hola Tacos. We had a wonderful experience! The food was fabulous and the service was amazing! Mariangel was our server and couldn’t have beensweeter and more professional! We’re excited for their transition and look forward to visiting again soon.“

“Drinks are always so good and the food is out of this world with so many choices and your plate is well full. The price is very affordable for the amount of food you good plus really good services! They also have some of the best French fries and Queso ever! Ambiance is great we always sit at the bar or a booth.“

“This place is incredible! My mom and I came here a few weeks ago to try it since it had changed to a new Mexican restaurant. I’m a vegetarian and they had plenty of options and the food was delicious. Everything is made fresh to order so we were even able to order guacamole without any onions in it. Service was fast, restaurant was extremely clean and the drinks were great. This restaurant is a fantastic addition to the North Royalton! We can’t wait to go back!“

“We have been ordering the same meal for a couple of years now. It is always a little different for some reason. We get The Jalisco Special, and it is delicious. We get it with chicken and shrimp.It's not full 5 stars for me because of the last few times we ordered, the portions were less than we got used to.The amount of chips and salsa you get inside when you're dining in is about 3x as much as you get with a carry out order. It's a tiny container and they don't give you any extra chips when you buy queso and guacamole.In addition to that, the queso and guacamole cost 5.99 each for the smallest size for anyone else who was wondering.“

“The best one is in Cleveland heightsThis one is still good over all just my personal preferenceVegetarian options: Everything is labeled on the front of the glass in front of you where you could choose your selectionParking: Definitely has a lot of parkingKid-friendliness: Yes“

“Stopped here for lunch with some co-workers. This was my first time here, and I would go back to again. Something happened with the restaurants POS machines and we had to wait a while for any orders to be taken until they were connected. We had to speed up service with our waiter, but she was respectful and accommodating about it. Sorry I don’t remember name for a shoutout. This was different from any other Tex-Mex I’ve had before, but it was all surprisingly tasty. The menu items are unique, so you just have to be willing to try something new. I had the Lomo Saltado tacos, and they were delicious! Would definitely eat them again. Beautiful atmosphere here. Would be a nice spot to eat outside at when the weather is nice.“

“I'm very surprised this place has a 3 star rating, so many businesses have tried and failed at this location, if this place closes I'm going to be very sad, I get the same thing Every-time I go there and it's excellent Everytime, it's very clean inside and great employees y'all got, the food is so damn good I would go here everyday if I could. I hope this business only success. I don't know where I would go for my tacos if y'all closed“

“Best fajitas around! Had the seafood fajitas and they were amazing! Enough for two people. Very friendly service and great margaritas! Loved this place total recommendation...!Vegetarian options: They have optionsKid-friendliness: Ok for kids if they enjoy Mexican foodWheelchair accessibility: Looks like a wheelchair could get in.“

“Watch out chipotle....bigger portions and taste pretty good with more options. The only thing I don't like is they cut ur toppings off at 5 or 6 whereas chipotle lets u get however many which is no biggie...only reason I gave food a 4.“

“Oh, I am so happy. I had the chance to try this authentic Mexican restaurant called Las Americas let me start with that what I ordered was a quesadilla chicken with rice and also they give you free chips and salsa with every order. First I do when I’m acknowledge, was fresh tender, and had to snap to them as well regarding the onion green peppers additional charge for mushrooms, but the chicken was fresh juicy flavorful. More than I expected!“

“If you're looking for real authentic Mexican food this is the best place in Cleveland. The restaurant itself makes you feel like you're in Mexico unless you look out the window. Very generous portions. The mood is very light and festive.“

“Pizza Melt is my go-to spot for late-night cravings! Their pizzas are always piping hot and delicious, even at 3 a.m. Plus, where else can you snag a large pepperoni pizza for just $13 in the wee hours? It's a steal! Highly recommend for those late-night munchies“

“This place was soooo good! My husband took me as a surprise to the Kalamazoo location and we loved everything about it, from the service to the decor to the food and drinks. Alyssa was our server and she did an amazing job and loved her recommendations. We will definitely be back, and thanks to Alyssa for a great experience!“

“Visiting friends and this was 1/2 mile from their house. Started with some drinks, which included Mexican beer; Dos Equis Amber for me and Lager for my friend. The Ladies each had Tito's and water. What blew us away was the Seafood Nachos, a must get wether you like seafood or not. Our server, Felipe was pretty darn good too.“

“This quaint spot has been a favorite of my parent’s for years. If looking for a place that makes “real” Mexican food this is it. Family owned and operated every plate is served with a smile. The guacamole was fantastic. The meals were special. If you like authentic, rush to get this.“

“La Casa Tequila brings the authentic flavors of Mexican street food and culture to the city in a lively yet rustic setting. Stepping through the oak doors is like walking into a traditional cantina in a small Mexican pueblo, with arched doorways, colorful ceramic tiles, and decor paying homage to Mexican folk art and traditions.The menu features classic Mexican fare made with high-quality, fresh ingredients. We started with guacamole made tableside, bursting with flavor from chunks of ripe avocado, lime juice and chili. For our mains, we ordered tacos al pastor topped with grilled pineapple salsa and chicken fajitas served with warm flour tortillas, homemade pico de gallo and sour cream. The tacos were charred just right and packed full of flavor, and the fajitas came sizzling on a skillet loaded with grilled onions, peppers and tender chicken.The restaurant offers a wide selection of well-crafted margaritas made with premium tequilas, as well as Mexican beers on draft. Live mariachi bands perform on weekends, filling the dining room with upbeat ranchera music and getting patrons up dancing between courses.Overall, La Casa Tequila transports you to the colorful streets and vibrant culture of Mexico through welcoming service, authentic cuisine and lively atmosphere. It's a great place to head for an evening of authentic Mexican food, margaritas and mariachi music. I will definitely be returning for more tastes of Mexican street cuisine and festive evenings.“

“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“

“FINALLY!!! I have been waiting for this location to open and it finally has. The food and service are as wonderful as the Independence location. Obviously, it's new and more modern, which is something I kinda don't like, but that's just me. Even though this location is closer to my house, I will most likely continue going to the one in Independence.“

“Tons of delicious options including grab n go stuff they can warm up for you. Great service. They have indoor and outdoor seating, the patio is a relaxing vibe. I always buy way too much stuff when I come! I didn’t think prices were outrageous.“

“We arrived late at night.The atmosphere there was good.But one thing ruined everyone.This was the food ordered by a customer at another table.The food had a strong flavoring effect.All the customers in the store coughed.The dish looked like meat on a hot plate.Even my lungs hurt.“

“Camino is a delightful spot for those seeking a fun and flavorful dining experience. The diverse taco flavor options are a highlight, adding an exciting twist to the traditional taco scene. From unique fillings to innovative toppings, Camino's tacos are a true culinary adventure. Pb n steak taco was so unique my taste buds were not ready to take in the marinated steak, pb cream, and siracha. So unexpected in a delightful way. This restaurant is the perfect destination for a casual night out with friends or a laid-back date night. The combination of mouthwatering tacos and margaritas creates a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.“

“Recently found this gem and holy moly flavor town is what I'm talking about!! This place is absolutely hands down best place to eat in n tower city.. I've had the chicken and the bbq Korean short ribs bowls, the guacamole ? ?, if you haven't tried it, get there asap..“

“All I have to say is WOW!!!! I don't even know where to start. I have been wanting to try this restaurant for many years. I'm glad I did. Recently I went vegan and I read that they have great vegan/ vegetarian options. Well they sure do. I had a delicious vegetable quesadilla with vegan nachos. The restaurant staff was great. Very outgoing, attentive and hard working. I appreciated the fact that they all had great team work. The bartender was assisting the server, the server was assisting the bartender and the cook was back there doing his thing alone. They had a full house that night. It was a Thursday, happy hour was jumping! I had a DELICIOUS margarita on special, maybe a few!? Anyways, this place was GREAT. I can't wait to come back. I believe my servers name was Sarah. She was so cool and so sweet. Definitely check this place out!!!!!!“

“Here for a conference and wanted to walk to a local place for lunch. I think I found the best place in town. My burrito was huge and delicious (and I’d say I’m a connoisseur of burritos). The employees were very friendly, the space inside is small with only a few tables but one was available and clean for me. Best of all, the giant burrito and fountain drink was very reasonably priced. Winner, winner, burrito lunch (and dinner). ?“

“The food is always delicious and fresh. The drinks are surprisingly strong. I'd always order a flavored frozen margarita or two and I'd be set. My favorite dish is probably the enchiladas supreme; you get 4 enchiladas: 1 beef, 1 chicken, 1 cheese, 1 bean and they're all topped with melted cheese. I also love the steak chimichanga supreme, the California burrito with barbacoa, and the tacos al pastor. The complimentary chips and salsa are great too. Their Mexican rice is the bomb, I usually order at least two sides of it so I can have extra for later. I've only eaten here once, usually I order takeout (you can order drinks to go!), but I enjoyed my experience. Bartenders were friendly and the vibe of the place was lively and fun.“

“Absolutely delicious and reasonably priced authentic Mexican food! I have been craving tamales for months now, but they don't seem all that common here in Cleveland. Luckily, through the help of Yelp, I was able to find Las Dos Fronteras! I called them and asked if they do take out orders, and the gentleman on the phone said yes, and was more than willing to take my order! He gave me an estimated time that it would be done by and I showed up a little bit earlier, but my order was still ready! You can tell it's a little whole in the wall because it has a very odd parking lot, but luckily plenty of parking across the street as well! I was immediately greeted when I entered the restaurant and they knew right away that I was there for my pickup order! For two tamales and a side of rice it was under $10, but they have a rule that card transactions must be over $10, so I added on one of their various Mexican Sodas! From what I could tell the restaurant was well kept and had authentic Mexican restaurant vibes through their decor. It also didn't seem too busy! I took my food home and it was mouth watering delicious! I even tried saving half as leftovers for the next day, but they definitely turned into a midnight snack haha! I will definitely be coming back soon! So happy to finally find authentic Mexican cuisine in Cleveland!“
