I write the following review about Mexican food with the full disclosure that I am a native Texan, and am fully qualified to judge Mexican food (Tex-Mex or not.)
Pretense aside, here we go... GO HERE. Stop looking for other places to eat. Go.
The taquitos are amazing - flavorful, artful - downright scrumptious. The MACHACA is slow-braised beef brisket cooked in a coffee marinade, and it's one of my favorites. The chips and salsa are excellent, and you can ask for the homemade house habanero sauce to make it a little more lively (read: spicy, Texas style) if you like.
I also can't stop singing about the margaritas (though warning: 3 of these, and you're going to be impaired!) - the cucumber, spicy mango, and classic (with chili lime salt) are outstanding. They are unequaled by any margaritas in Ohio that I know of.
To add brilliance to magic, this place has a HAPPY HOUR (downstairs only, at the bar - not outside or upstairs) where classic margaritas and taquitos are HALF OFF. You can literally eat a full meal and 2 margaritas for under $20 - and this is craft cuisine!
The staff is always friendly, welcoming and witty - a good place for food, banter and fun; the atmosphere is very artsy and eclectic - and downright homey. This place does OHIO CITY proud.
