“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!“
“Order online so I'm not sure about the service or the atmosphere but the food birria Taco was good but $25.00 I expected more. Place service whole pizza while all they give you this half. So if you are sharing or have a big appetite one serving will not do and it 25 x whatever your fancy. It's not cheap.“
“Great, I had a big order at the last minute and everything turned out great. The food was fresh and delicious and the staff had everything prepared on time and was friendly and professional! My company employee appreciation day was a success thanks to the staff!“
“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.“
“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.“
“First off... the service! The service is the shining star. They are small and very attentive which I love. Ordered the California Burrito. Tne thing is huge! You can definitely share it. Dined in and the kids had shrimp tacos. The free chips and salsa you get is really good. I had a margarita which crept up on me (understand) and complimented the meal very well. The only knock is that they are small. However, the blessing is that they are small. So it depends on you. Did i mention the awesome service. We went twice and was treated the same.“
“Hot chips hit the table before your butt hits the seat. The service is top knotch! The menu is endless, the options are plenty! The quality and authenticity of the dishes are hard to find around here - trust me, I've looked. Si les entoja sabor de casa, auténtica comida mexicana... ven aqui.“

“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.......“
“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!“
“This restaurant is located in an area of hotels where we were staying so we weren't sure what to expect. We stopped in Friday, March 22nd, around 8:00 pm. received a friendly greeting at the door and were immediately seated. The place was still hopping with big groups of families, so I'm guessing this is a local favorite. Our server was friendly and attentive. The chips were warm and delicious. They have an extensive margarita menu and drink menu. We kept it simple with their lime margaritas, also delicious. Both my husband and I enjoyed our entrees. If you're staying at one of the nearby hotels, definitely give them a try.Kid-friendliness: It's definitely a place that welcomes families.“
“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.“
“Best Mexican food I have had in a while!! The service was great! The food was delicious and hot!! 10 out of 10 drinks!! The salsa was good with a hint of spice. The atmosphere was very calming, the music was good. Great for socializing!!! I absolutely love this place!!“

“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.“

“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.“
“I would say this is one of the best Mexican restaurants in Lake County! Lots of food options on the menu. I got the fire fajitas and Texas margarita. Food portions are a decent size. We got lots of chips and salsa to go. Service was stellar and I will definitely be back to explore more food! Thank you for a great experience with wonderful food!“
“The staff was very friendly, so I appreciated that . I tried this for the first time and did a build my own bowl. The bowl was decent. I would definitely run in there on a day where I don't want to cook, but I also feel like it's nothing to go above and beyond for. The meat was seasoned very well and tender. I got half chicken half steak. I will say I'm normally not a side person, but I really had a taste for some chips and salsa so I ordered some. I was quite disappointed in the salsa. It tasted like watery tomatoes. There was no other kind of flavor. so I just use the chips for my bowl. maybe next time I'll try the guacamole“
“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.“
