24 Best Mexican Restaurants in Cleveland

“We went to the 25th Street location while my dad played a show with a band, and we had been there the whole time, ordered food and everything. But after the guy took my drink order, he came up to our table and yelled at us saying we didn't pay to get in. We were told by the owner we didn't have to pay since we were with the band. we politely explained what we were told, But had said if we had to then we would, no problem. But instead of standing by what he said, the owner proceeded to YELL at Me saying if I was going to cause an issue then they'd ask us to leave. I felt so uneasy and pissed, because my fiance and I had been polite and everything the whole time. and the fact he was acting like he was only talking to me that way. when my fiance talked to him his tone changed. My stepmom was also with us, told my dad, and they haven't played at that location since. It was a NIGHTMARE.. plus from what I have heard from MULTIPLE people, they have let their waiter follow girls into restrooms and touch them inappropriately and just letting him go right back to work even AFTER the law was involved. This place needs to be investigated, shut down, or something! It is not safe..“

“I've always passed by this area but I didn't realize that there was a taco place and la michoacana here! My friend and I stopped by for lunch to try their food. When we walked inside we realized that both places were combined inside which was cool. It was very spacious with many tables and places to sit. We came on a Tuesday for lunch, it wasn't that busy.

I ordered a Carne Asada plate and chose flour tortillas. It also came with a Jarritos drink too, you can choose which flavored drink you want from the fridge by the counter. My friend got a pupusa, and carne asada (beef) and chicken tacos.

The carne asada was phenomenal. I was really surprised at the portion of beef that came with my plate, it was huge. Not only that, but it was flavored and seasoned so well. It was savory and tasty. The frijoles (beans) and arroz (rice) was good, and the veggies on the side tasted very fresh. I took a bite of my friend's beef taco too and it was great.

Every bite from my dish was great, I loved it. The only thing was that I wish the sides were a little bigger in proportion to the carne asada. For me, the sides are just as important as the protein. So I wish they gave a little more to balance out the whole dish. Other than that, I liked what I ordered. I'd come back for the carne asada and ice cream.“

“great food, clean restaurant, fantastic service!“

“Great lunch - yummy tamale plate! Really professional staff AND the manager is hilarious! Will return on another trip through Cleveland. Thank You!“

“Service was amazing thanks to Angela! She made sure to always check on us at the bar. She was very knowledgeable when answering our questions about the menu or drinks. She was incredibly friendly and kind, which definitely made our experience great. Highly recommend asking for her!“

“Gave it a try tonight and I definitely recommend checking them out for some delicious authentic tacos. There's only two things I can really point out because the food was good and the service was good. 1.) There was no ice in our waters so they were room temperature. 2.) The chips and salsa were good, but you don't get that much--perhaps it was enough, we're just used to more everywhere else we go. Still yet, I definitely enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service.“

“This has been such a good spot to stop. I’ve been here about 3 times now and have enjoyed it every time. The pizza birria was really good along with their pastor burrito, along with the other options they provide. Besides the area they are in being a little questionable at times, I will continue to go back. They’re nice and pretty fast to get the food out after you order. It’s always been fresh to the point I have to let it cool off before even trying to eat it. Which is a good problem to have“

I was pleasantly impressed by the quality amount and taste of our meal. Our orders were Hawaiian Shrimp Fajitas enchiladas meal and a burrito meal everything was beautifully placed and you could tell the person cooking cared about the food he was serving. One of the most memorable and delicious meals I’ve had in a long time and I have had to go out frequently as of late.“

Thank you guys, we highly recommend! 🩵 Pizza birria, taco salads, tacos, kids items, and literally everything else are incredible! 🥰“
