El Canelo

★★★★☆ 3.7 (46) • $

"I get takeout now, and love Mexican food, so highly recommend this restaurant. You can call ahead, but it doesn't take long to prepare an order of nachos, chicken and cheese, so just drive up to the takeout window, and get your order in about ten minutes. Yum!"

El Rincon Oaxaqueño

★★★★★ 4.9 (38)

"Delicious! Very happy this new restaurant opened up close to my home. You can tell this family run restaurant makes everything with love.Service is excellent. My husband got 3 tacos with 3 different choices. I had that huevos rancheros! I just wish the chips and salsa was complimentary"

Jalapenos Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (10)

"the bar provides great service and energy. very kind owner greets me by name which makes it special. a great place for out of town workers. everyone is friendly and it's easy to meet people. the food is always great and unlike most mexican restaurants, they have other options like burgers. the best french fries around. great atmosphere with tv's, good music and lighting."

Taquieria El Buen Pastor

★★★★★ 4.5 (22)

"Nice little Mexican place at the end of the Blue Line. Opened in a local business that has been a few restaurants over many years. Service was great, with a smile and made sure you were happy with the meal and made sure you understood the menu. Had my traditional Barbacoa and Al Pastor tacos. Both came on 2 corn tortillas, the Al pastor was marinated pork with pineapple , and cilantro and onion with some lime in the take out container. Very good and nice flavor. The Barbacoa was shredded beef and not a lot of flavor. Probably should have ordered a different item. The menu has some interesting dinner and lunch items. Looking forward to trying again when in the neighborhood."

Don Taco Mexican Tacqueria & Barria House

★★★★☆ 3.9 (10)

"This burrito was HUGE. I thought my order was wrong when I got it bc the bag was so heavy. The inside looks really clean and bright. Ample parking and plenty of room inside to eat. Back to the burrito. It had veggies rice beans lettuce sour cream queso etc. I got the Verde and red hot salsa. Both tasted great and had just enough kick. The ingredients in the burrito were fresh and flavorful. Did I mention, this thing is huge. Definitely had to use a fork and knife and not pick it up. Great place. Will be back."

Los Gallitos PGH

★★★★★ 4.6 (5)

"I stopped by Los Gallitos when it was parked at Stick City Brewery. The food truck offer authentic style tacos, tortas, and tamales. I ordered a 3 taco basket with asada, carnitas, and a pork. The meats were all very good and they offered some the typical authentic self-serve toppings like salsas, onions, limes, etc. I'd stop by next time they are in the area."

"Best mexican in Canton! Have Pancho make some guacamole.. it is the shit! In addition the top shelf margaritas are the best you will find!!!!"

Navarro’s Bar & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3 (35) • $$$

"Navarro's Chophouse is newly opened in Grove City and I took a large group to taste the new menu. Located in the former Cannon's Chophouse location, the Navarros have offered a very accessible menu with juicy steaks, burgers and pastas all with a bit of Spanish and Latin American flavor added in. The restaurant itself is quite nice inside. Outside there is a covered patio with a fireplace perfect for dining alfresco while the weather is nice. The service is also fantastic even while new. Kudos for everyone handling our crowd of 20 with smiles!I enjoyed the 12 oz Sirloin which was very tender and cooked perfectly to temp. All of the appetizers were delicious - especially the Papas Bravas and Fried Green Tomatoes. I heartily recommend Navarro's - not just for a special occasion but also for a fun night out and tasty meal on a regular day."

Fredibertos Mexican Food

★★★☆☆ 3 (4)

"This place is the best Mexican food in Trumbull County. Homemade Pico del gallo is so good that I drink the tomato juice. The hot salsa is also bomb. I've had the bean and cheese which is delicious and affordable. And the vegetarian burrito, which is delicious. Highly recommend."

1942 Tacos & Tequila Ligonier

★★★★☆ 4 (20)

"Husband's and my experience was great from start to finish. We were seated quickly and didn't have to wait long for our food and drinks. Our server was so friendly. As was the other staff with whom I came in contact. The prices are fair for the portion size. Always a great spot to get fine Mexican food."

Tequila Jalisco Mexican Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.5 (96) • $$

"Tequila Jalisco restaurant and bar serves Mexican foods such as salads, tacos, taquitos, enchiladas, burritos, fajitas, numerous specials, and desserts. its menu is large and provides many options for meats, seafoods, and vegetables. So far, my husband and I have eaten lunches and dinners at this restaurant several times. The employees have always provided very prompt and very courteous service. The decor looks nice, and seating is available in the dining room and at the bar.For our most recent meals, we ordered cheese dip, nachos Santa Fe (chicken-steak), chicken tacos, a quesadilla fajita, a steak fajita, enchiladas verdes (chicken), carne asada, a quesadilla vegetarian, tilapia, pina-colada cake, sopapilla, fried ice cream, a strawberry margarita, etcetera. I rate each of these menu items as 4 to 5 stars. I think that Tequila Jalisco is definitely one of the very best Mexican restaurants in the area. Try it out!"

Calaveras Mexican Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 (29)

"We've eaten here many times, and I cannot rave enough. Juan takes his time in making sure everything tastes the same every time you come in. Consistency is one of my favorite parts. I cannot say enough how delicious the cabbage coleslaw is the best in the area. I rarely get the steak at Mexican restaurants, but the way they cook theirs, I've genuinely never had anything like it before. I make my steak tacos. It's by far my favorite dish. This leans more towards authentic Mexican as it's the closest I've had to the food when I was in Mexico. At times they can be a wait, especially on weekends but hands down in my top three in the area"

Don Jose Mexican Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (41) • $

"I have been to this spot before and always thought it was good. But tonight, I had the Carnitas Dinner and it was more than good, it was great. Everything just popped with flavor!Server was attentive and efficient!5 stars tonight for sure! Keep it up Don Jose!"

Fredibertos Mexican Food

★★★★★ 5 (7)

"Simple and perfect. Friendly staff. The beef tacos won me over. The crunch in the homemade shell is unbelievable."

Panaderia Jazmin

★★★★★ 4.9 (70)

"Such a cute little bakery. Everyone was so friendly. I was there during Dia de Los Muertos(Day of the dead) and they had the cutest Disney's Coco themed Ofrenda set up. They also have maybe the best churros I've ever had. I highly recommend checking this fantastic bakery out."

Jalisco's

★★★★☆ 3.5 (58) • $$

"Today we had the same as always Jalisco Especial.The shrimp where not the same quality and they tasted pretty old & fishy.It ruined the rest of the food it was cooked with.I think we've had enough of this place if they are going to cut corners on quality."

Los Mariachis

★★★★☆ 3.8 (37)

"All I have to say is free tequila shots for the table if you are celebrating a birthday. Granted they pour it straight down your throat, a shot is a shot. In any case the margarita towers provide more than enough drink for 4 people and I suggest getting them frozen because it will melt before you finish.Either way the mango and strawberry are delicious! The portions are huge, so be prepared to take some food home.The restaurant is large and it gets busy on weekends, so be prepared for a party and busy staff. Regardless the servers are attentive and will accommodate you as much as they can. Large parties are great here and are typically seated in an covered porch area."

Monarca Taqueria

★★★★★ 4.7 (23)

"Holy moly. THIS IS the Mexican mom and pop Morgantown was waiting for. I myself am Cuban/Spanish decent and the flavors bring me back home. They were excellent. Of course they have their variety of tacos and burritos, but they actually have Mexican arepas and true dishes that are made at home by grandma. They truly brought a family recipe to the public. They quality is great. I got an arepa with Al pastor and it even had pineapple like it should! That, along with a street taco made my feel just full enough to be satisfied. Service was quick, ambiance is super relaxed. Great place to get a quick authentic bite. Definitely, 100% will be back."

Energized Dining

★★★★☆ 3.9 (8)

"An addition to Butler dining is new and now open to the public. It is the Energized Dining restaurant at the Tesla Biohealing Center. The restaurant is crisp, clean and casual with grand chandeliers and marble floors that give it a touch of elegance. The wait staff is friendly and attentive and the food is very good. This is a good place to take a date or go for a special occasion although the prices are reasonable enough to go anytime. They boast an environment of 'biophotons' while dining, which they believe to be an energizing experience. I don't know if they did me any good or not, but I did feel better after I left, of course that could have been from the meal and the service. I would definitely recommend trying this new establishment. The restaurant entrance is in the FRONT of the building."

Wings Olé

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (38) • $

"Great service, nice portion sizes! The food and atmosphere are average/nothing super special. The blue cheese is very good! The menu is a mix of Mexican with some bar food favorites thrown in. It's a good place to grab a beer and eat wings and tacos with friends."

El Sabor Latin Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.5 (191) • $$

"I would consider this fancy Mexican food. Anytime you order a burrito, and they cut it in half at an angle, you have to wonder what is happening here. In this case, it turns out to be a simply delicious burrito. The rest of the items we ordered were good. The chips and salsa had a good flavor. The staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, it is a good place to eat if you are in the area.If you have a car, there is parking on the street. We thought they had a parking lot, but we could not figure it out."

Mad Mex - Cranberry

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (183) • $$

"Always fresh food. I stopped for lunch & had the Mad Mex bowl with portobello mushrooms & it was fantastic. Grilled portobellos over farro, black beans, corn, peppers & onion. Guacamole on top. I had a 16 oz margarita on the rocks, but switched to a Patron silver next. They have a lot of tequilas to choose from. Still a solid choice for fresh Mexican food with a varied menu & lots of veg options. Nice interior decor."

Food Truck El Pastorcito

★★★★★ 4.8 (4)

"A Hidden Gem with Authentic Mexican FlavorI recently stopped by this Mexican food truck, and I'm already planning my next visit. lol Located right outside a charming little store, this place serves up some of the best tacos I've had in a while. I tried the carne asada (marinated steak), carnitas (braised pork), and chorizo (spicy pork sausage) tacos. Each taco was generously packed on a 4-inch tortilla, making them hearty and satisfying. The flavors were bold and authentic, with the carne asada perfectly seasoned, the carnitas juicy and tender, and the chorizo packing just the right amount of fire.What makes the experience even better is that all the condiments are available inside the store next door. You can load up your tacos with fresh onions, cilantro, pineapple, and a selection of salsas ranging from mild to fiery hot, making it easy to customize your meal to your exact taste. The store itself is worth a visit too, offering fresh produce, canned goods, a huge variety of hot sauces, and unique snacks you won't find just anywhere. It's a true hidden gem that's not only a fantastic spot for lunch but also a fun place to shop for authentic Mexican ingredients.If you're a fan of flavorful, authentic Mexican food, this food truck is a must-try. You won't be disappointed!"

Black Bear Burritos

★★★★☆ 4.3 (185) • $$

"Always a Motown fav! Menus are at the door, walk up to the counter to order, grab your silverware and drinks, then seat yourself, food is delivered to your table. Not your traditional WV restaurant which is why I love it. They offer protein options like tofu, jackfruit and beans, as well as your traditional options. Plus 20 beers on tap from West Virginia and other popular breweries. Super laidback, comfortable and welcoming restaurant that embraces culture, art and music. 15+ year customer!"

Don Patron Mexico Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.4 (72) • $$

"We had a two hour break from an emotionally draining family gathering. It was only 4:00 but we needed to be back by 6 and would miss dinner. We searched Yelp for a nearby restaurant but everything close by wasn't open for dinner yet. We expanded our search a little and found Don Patron. I'm so glad we did. Our large group was seated immediately and served the required chips and salsa (they were unremarkable). It took us a little while to order but once we did, our food was served in a reasonable amount of time. The hubs and I decided to split the carnitas dinner and a side of guac. It's a good thing we split - we couldn't finish the meal. The carnitas were cooked perfectly. The beans and rice were typical of any local Mexican restaurant. The guacamole was simple - avocado, seasoning and I think cilantro and it was delicious. Although we were all stressed, we didn't partake from the large drink menu. Our server was very attentive and quick with drink refills. The prices were pretty reasonable. Since Don Patron is in a strip mall, parking is abundant. I've been visiting Latrobe all of my life and have never found this gem of a restaurant. This, however, was probably my last trip to the area, I have no one left to visit. I'm sorry I didn't find Don Patron sooner. (Rest in peace Bub)"

Mexican Grill

★★★★☆ 3.8 (28) • $

"Every time we go to Ohio Amish country there is always the conundrum of finding good food that isn't a bland tasteless buffet full of bus loads of tourists. So we had to try this seemingly out-of-place Mexican place in the middle of Amish country. We were rewarded with some seriously good food. It is a no frills place: order at counter and they will bring food out to you. PROS: Their burritos are huge, and their chicken is well seasoned and so is the rice. You also get an order of chips and salsa, and the salsa is one of the better fresh salsas I have had, I would say a medium heat. CONS: chips were good but I have had better. Plastic silverware and styrofoam cups are always a pain.Bottom line: this is what makes America great: authentic Mexican food in the heartland of this great country. We will be back."

Emiliano's Mexican Restaurant and Bar

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (72) • $$

"We have been here several times. Food always served fast and food is tasty. My wife decided to order something different and thought super burritos was cooked in grill and we asked server if it was but there was a sorta language issue so she brought over a server that understood English better, which kudos to her, for stepping up. But when plate was served you could clearly see it was not grilled. We did not complain but when server noticed she was not consuming dinner, the manager came over and asked if there was issues with food. We explained and he offered to bring her out anything on menu at no cost. That is Excellent Management!! We declined told him I would take home and eat later, but he still sent out queso dip just because. You will not be disappointed in this Mexican restaurant, we think you should give it a try if you have never been here before"

El Marro

★★★★★ 4.9 (30)

"Might be the best restaurant value in Pittsburgh. I had the Diablo shrimp and flan for dessert. Deceptively simple presentation with sophisticated taste. If I lived here, I'd be a regular. If you want to drink, BYOD."

Wings Olé

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (33) • $$

"My favorite restaurant of all time! When I visit Morgantown I average three visits a weekend. I am never disappointed with the Medium Beef Burrito with Fries and Blue Cheese. Take yo kids, Take yo wife, Take yo husband!"

Stoney's Tacos and Burritos

★★★★☆ 4.4 (25)

"Solid spot for tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and other typical Mexican-American meals. The prices are very fair and the portions are pretty good too, depending on what you order. I tried quite a few of their items: a super quesadilla with birria (stewed beef), refried beans, and tres leches cake.The super quesadilla was just okay. They did include a large portion, but the taste of it was just a bit strange. The meat was good, and so was the cheese. However, they included some sort of mayonnaise like sauce (that definitely wasn't cheese) with it that didn't sit well with me. The beans were good. They give a generous portion. On the sides, the container was a bit crusty. However, the beans themselves were creamy and tasty. A good side.The tres leches cake was very, very good. The best thing I tried from this place. It was fluffy on the top and very creamy. Perfect sweetness and a nice portion. Would definitely recommend.All in all, a pretty decent Mexican spot. Quesadilla was a bit questionable, but if you do come here, you must get the tres leches."

Picante Mexican Grille

★★★★☆ 4 (99) • $$

"I always liked this restaurant and the food they serve. A bit disappointed on my most recent visit. Our server wasn't very friendly. I always give people benefit of the doubt, in case, they are dealing with difficulties. We were seated, drink orders taken and then waited to give our dinner choices. He returned and took the order; then disappeared for the next 30 minutes. Suddenly, he appeared to drop our check off...without asking if we wanted drink refills, no checking if the food was all right, or if we wanted dessert. I had to flag down another server for a drink refill. Husband wanted another margarita, but after waiting so long, he changed his mind. No idea what the issue was for the employee. He has worked there a long time. He just didn't seem interested in providing any of his customers any interaction until time to pay the check. Food was excellent, by the way."

Los Chiludos

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"Went around 6:30 and that was a perfect time as we beat the rush. We were able to order almost immediately our drinks came shortly after ordering and our food followed shortly after. I got the shrimp and cheese enchiladas, these were STUFFED. And big pieces of shrimp. You seat yourself after ordering at the register then they bring everything to you. Also my significant other got a bit of green sauce totally recommend asking for it because it is delicious, I put some on my rice."

Buenos Amigos

"We ate here a couple days ago. It was good, I liked the quesadillas! We enjoyed our meals as always, we will be back"

El Paso Mexican Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (54) • $$

"Come for the margaritas stay for the food. It's great for a small town restaurant. The margs great. Food goood I got burrito Azteca. It's a burrito with shrimp and crab. Definitely yummy. The best seafood burrito, I've had... no... la jaiba in Cincy owns that but truly decent. Cohort got chorizo and shrimp burrito (pina burrito) His was better than mine ... he even added guac I've been here several times so ...."

Annelesse Restaurant

★☆☆☆☆ 1 (1)

"Ordered through DoorDash Stewed Chicken had a really weird smell like it was cooked in a pot that burned on the bottom but it was at least moist I had the pork stew which was like chewing on burnt leather totally not worth $30 tried calling the restaurant but number doesn't work"
