“Amazing tacos and such friendly service! And no joke my fav Paloma outside of Mexico! The only thing I’m sad about is I’ve waited so long to go!!“

“Carnales catered our daughter's quinceañera. The food was amazing!!! The service was outstanding. They delivered and set up promptly and took it down as well. We had so much left over. I'll be eating Mexican for days. The entire party raved about how wonderful the food was. I've eaten there before. The quesa birria is outstanding. 10/10 recommend. 5 stars.“

“Anytime I'm anywhere near toledo I have to make a pitstop in for some killer food! The food trucks are top notch and the workers are always fast and friendly! 5 stars for sure!!“

“An overall good restaurant. My server wasn't the best but the service there was great because other people working there saw that I was just sitting there and took care of it. Food was good. the first salsa I got was good, but then the second was kind of tomato-y.“

“Very good food. Friendly clean place.“

“Great food, great people. If you haven't tried it you should!“

“I'm on a mission to shout out about this restaurant. The prices are a little high in my opinion, but... (1) the food is worth it, and (2) I am spoiled by the prices in Detroit's Mexicantown, where there is a lot more competition for Mexican food. Mi novio, quien es de Jalisco, México, le gusta mucho la comida de El Tajín. So if Oscar says it's good food, I KNOW it's good, authentic Mexican food. The elote is TO. DIE. FOR In my humble opinion. If you want really great Mexican food in the Toledo area, I cannot recommend this place enough. Try street taco Thursdays ($2 street tacos) if you're skeptical, because at $2 a taco you can't lose. I think once you've experienced El Tajín's food you will become a believer.“

“I was amazed how beautiful all the fresh produce. So many choices!“

“just got the Birria tacos with rice ...rice is hard and dry also there's no cilantro on my tacos ....I usually always love and brag about your food but it seems like it's not the same.“

“I can't say enough great things about this restaurant. My wife and I have been to every Mexican cuisine restaurant around the MI/OH border in the Toledo vicinity. We have never had a bad meal. Always great, and as an added plus their margaritas are Best in Toledo. The staff is fantastic, and the food comes out hot and quick. We stopped in once again last night. It doesn't get better than this!“

“Stopped here before a NYE party to pick up corn tortillas. I have celiac disease so needed to be sure what I was getting was gluten free. The woman behind the counter was really helpful. The corn tortillas and corn chips were excellent. I didn't have any reaction so oth were definitely gluten free. I also picked up some pico de gallo and salsa verde. Those were delicious as well! Highly recommend.“

“Always good! It's my favorite place to go for delicious and affordable food...“

“Excellent Mexican food location with full menu and lunch buffet ($12) options. Large Margaritas ($10) strong & good. Good torillas, hot sauces and dipping cheeses available. Great for gathering with friends or family. Friendly servers. $15-20/pp avg.“

“The company I work for recently used Juanitos for a job fair event and everyone raved about how great the food was! We will definitely use them again in the future!“

“My first time here... Muy Bueno 🤌 The owner Flo (Florencio) came out to greet me. I told him about my friends back home. He brought me out a pork tamale to try. He sells them a dozen for $15. You have to come get them as soon as they post... cuz they go Quick! (And I see Why! 😍) Melanie was my waitress. She's very attentive, helpful & sweet. 🤗 Chips & Salsa 🥰🤌 I ordered the lunch special for $10 and of course the mango juice. You get 2 enchiladas, with beans & rice. He brought me an extra enchilada to try with the chunky beef (his Moms recipe). All of it was So delicious! If you Love authentic Mexican food like I do, you need to come here!!“

“Yummy carne asada torta. Meat had good flavor. Always appreciate when restaurants grill the torta bread. Also, I’m picky about my toppings, they got my order correct and was quick service. Cute little place. I at first showed up at one of the chain San Marcos and thought about just going in but I’m glad I made the effort to go here.“

“Thank You to the whole staff for helping pull off an epic surprise party!“

“Very impressed. I've been to the mall so many times and never even gave it a thought to eat there, but we were out and about on a random Tuesday and decided the food court just wasn't going to cut it... We gave it a go. I'm glad we did. It was very good, authentic and fresh.“

“I’ve been coming here every week while working in Ohio, and this truck became my favorite spot. The tacos are incredible, and the ladies working here are always kind, welcoming, and make you feel at home. I’m heading back to Texas and this place will be missed!“

“OH MY GOD this food is SO GOOD!!! Free chips and salsa with a dine in order, the best bean dip I've ever had, and a burrito to die for!

Vegetarian options: The beans are incredible, if you get a burrito with no meat and double beans you will be incredibly satisfied“

“Lunch plans changed due to everything we tried being closed and a local told us about this place and WOW! I’m so glad the others closes!

“This place is amazing and the staff is so friendly! The food was fantastic, waitress was on point! Would definitely recommend the fajita pizza!!!“

“This is a casual dining restaurant. I have no complaints on this visit. The food, the service, and the pricing we're just right. I arrived before the lunch crowd which is the way I like it. The restaurant was clean and the food was served piping hot without a long delay. Everything was flavorful including the agua horchata! The waitress was attentive without being bothersome. She deserved a good tip and she got it!
12/04/25 Update:
I returned today to see if everything was as good as I remembered, and it was!
Today I ordered the fajita quesadilla - lightly grilled tortilla, rice and guacamole salad - see attached image. The portions were generous and the flavor was OMG delish! Can't wait to bring some friends back and enjoy let's play again!“

“It was so crowded and loud mostly due to a large party I believe. The food wasn't great. They were definitely understaffed. We were seated right next to the door and it was freezing. Horrible experience. They seemed more interested in moving people out than taking care of the customers.“

“Authentic Mexican food, desserts, and drinks. Love the pastor and Campechano tacos. Also try the tres leche cake slice, it’s to die for! Highly recommend the restaurant“

“Love that there's finally a chipotle in the area. Staff is usually friendly, portions are always good! Tonight my son and I had bowls and our rice wasn't fully cooked. Was a bit crunchy. Every other experience we've had there has been excellent though! Very thankful for Chipotle's presence in this part of Toledo!“

“We were looking for a place to eat, and happened to drive past Palacio Maya Mexican Restaurant. We decided to try it, and we were not disappointed. The selection of food items for vegetarians was amazing with plenty of items to choose from. The staff were quick, efficient and friendly. We would definitely eat here again.

Vegetarian options: There are plenty of vegetarian items to choose from in a separate section of the menu. The beans do not have lard in them, which is also a plus.“

“This place is by far, the BEST taco truck in all of Toledo. The quality is superb, the selection of meats is great, and the prices are beyond reasonable. Excellent servings sizes as well, I try to get this place at least once a week. Always so kind and courteous and the service is fast. Can not say enough good!“

“It was some of the best Mexican food we have had in the bit. Everything was delicious 😋 all the way to the chips and salsa. We walked in and sat right down we order and the food came out in no time so so good. We will be going back to try other things. All the staff was friendly and just a nice atmosphere. The prices are reasonable and the food was excellent.“

“Don't let the looks of the building fool you. This is a 10 out of five, margaritas are amazing, fried plantains are not to be missed, any choice you make will be the best. The atmosphere was relaxing and homey, very welcoming. I can not express what a pleasure it was to eat here and the staff were the Best. Thank You“

“I love the Cali heat taco! And the girls upfront are amazing! Sometimes I go just to see the cashier upfront in grab a taco.“

“Excellent food, quick efficient professional service
Six of us visited for lunch and we ordered from lunch menu. Everything taste so fresh and come with some side. Super reasonable price $8 is a steal for that much of food. Clean environment, tidy restaurant, colorful seating and nice bar indeed. If I’m in this area then definitely returning .
Only issue I found no soup in the restroom and no towel in the holder.“

“We enjoy the clean, friendly, family atmosphere of El Patron. The helpful and attentive wait staff serve generous helpings of delicious Mexican food“

“Food is good staff was friendly. In the winter there soups are great. Chicken wings are fried crispy they were good. Green salsa is great spicy. Nachos are mad as individual nachos love that the supers are very good. I had a chunky beef enchilada it was very good.“
