Restaurantji's Worthington Mexican restaurant picks are here.
“On Saturday she's at the Worthington Farmers Market. Seriously, if you like tamales go get some. They sell out fast. The are light (for a tamale) and the masa is seasoned along with the filling and they are really good. I like the spicy ones and the ancho chili vegetation one is good as well.“
“The place was nearly empty when I arrived. I was told to i could sit anywhere, so I grabbed a booth. The bartender brought me a menu and the obligatory chips and salsa. He also took my order. He apologized several times for the meal taking so long to come out, I was in no rush so I didn't mind or notice. My Loco Burrito arrived and it was enormous, as well as delicious. Had I not eaten an entire basket of chips I would have ate the whole thing!Parking: Huge shared lot with plenty of parkingWheelchair accessibility: Easy access in and out for wheelchairs“
“An easy 5-stars. When the weather is great the patio where you can watch high street makes it 6 stars. This is my go to place before concerts on the north end of Columbus. I wish I had more details to add; but I felt a need to do a quick review.If you want cheap Mexican, pick a different location. If you want quality at the expected price, Chapala hits the spot.“
“Wow, this Mexican restaurant rocks...I am usually critical of Mexican restaurants, but today, I was impressed. This place was spot on. Typically, Mexican restaurants all serve the same mediocre Mexican food with poor service. Tomatillos surprised me...The restaurant has a great atmosphere and very cool decor. The service was spot on - Samuel is a Rockstar waiter. The food was awesome - I had the Aztec burrito in a bowl with their salad, which was awesome - wifie had Pollo Loco, which she loved. The pricing was fair for the quality of the experience. I believe if you are tired of mediocre Mexican restaurants, this might be a great choice for you.“
“If you are a FOODIE and have been wanting Birria tacos, you have to come here! I drove two hours to get these tacos because I've been wanting Birria bad and they were worth the drive. Crispy shell, rich beef flavor, fresh onions and cilantro and the consomme is on point. Every bite was tasty, not bland like other places in Ohio, you can actually taste the spices. This is Authentic Tijauana style red Birria tacos like you see with food bloggers on IG. The staff was super friendly. The best days to go are Thurs-Sat when the Birria is available all day. Get there early because they sell out fast.“
“What an incredible find! The owner gave us such a great experience and had us sample the homemade blue corn tortilla as we were waiting for our food, so authentic, the salsas are incredible. We talked for a while from where he’s from and telling us about his inspiration for the food he makes. Thank you!! We will be back“
“the vibes were immaculate. the atmosphere is wonderful, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the food is delicious. I’ve never had such flavorful refried beans or yellow rice, and the meat on the tacos was tender and delicious. will def be coming back to try more of their menu !!“
“They are very welcoming always have great service and very attentive. They let me sample their special for the day the first time I went to make sure i liked it before I ordered. Also their food is sooooo good, I’m still working my way through the menu.“
“This is one my favorite taco spots in the city, they have CHICKEN birria tacos, SHRIMP tacos and plenty other options that I haven’t got to try yet because the chicken tacos are so good and hefty they got me hooked. These chicken tacos are fat! The price is very reasonable and they give out buzzers to alert you when your order is done, 10 mins usually. I go here once a week at least if I can get out of work in time. They moved closer to my job so I’m happy with the new location.“
“We came here for our first time as a group of four and were seated immediately on a Thursday evening. The menu offers a wide variety of great options from traditional to Tex mex style food. I opted for the birria tacos and one hard taco to try as I love my hard tacos!The birria tacos were very good and were prepared perfectly with the grilled cheese and crispy outer layer. I wish it had a bit more seasoning and heat but still overall was very good. The hard taco was also very good and perfectly prepared.The chips and salsa were both homemade and tasted great, the chips were still warm! The service staff was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant also has a bar where you first walk in if you would rather sit at the bar and watch some sports. The cost was very good based on the portions you get. I will definitely be coming back to eat here again soon.“
“We have eaten here several times and the food and service are top notch! They have some flavorful selections that are unlike anything I've found at other Mexican restaurants.It looks like they gave a talented artist free reign on murals and painted patterns on walls and ceilings. The owners and staff obviously take a lot of pride in the quality of the food & overall experience. Highly recommend!“
“Absolutely loved this place! The food was amazing, sometimes its hard to find mexican restaurants worth eating at but this one is not like the others and is so worth it! I had an asada torta with a side of fries! Most delicious torta ive had in so long! Come visit if youre able to you will not regret it.“
“Just tried this place today! It’s wonderful that they have so many vegan options! I got a vegan torta and it was delicious, the people were extremely kind and they deserve their own building! You can tell they really enjoy their job and are amazing at it :)) I will be coming back!“
“Popped in for lunch in a Friday. Tacos were fantastic. Crunch magic taco was flavorful and packed w toppings. Barbacoa meat in a second taco was tender and juicy. Service was fantastic - the server helped us find a quiet corner table since we had a baby with us. We will be back!“
“The menu has been updated and list more variety and traditional hispanic meat options , lengua for starters what a real treat ? , very amazed and proud of this slice of the old country tradition, thank you for sticking with the roots , highly recommend ?“
“Muy rico! I was very impressed. Great service great food. It’s authentic and the tortillas are homemade even the flour ones which I’ve never had except in Mexico. So very pleased to see that. I wish there was one in Dayton. They’re tacos suadero I a brisket style Mexican beef and it’s rare to find in America, so cool that they make it.“
“The food was excellent and authentic. This place is always busy. The atmosphere is authentic also, although it is an older looking place. It is in a strip mall so parking is usually an issue. For most, the good quality of the food overrides the issues.Parking: Parking is shared with several businesses.“
“I was won over from the beginning with their salsa and it just got better from there. I would have added a pic but the tacos were too good to take a break from. I'll def be going back.Vegetarian options: Veggie tacos (so good!) and Avocado tacos“
“Stopped in for lunch, got a torta. The gentleman that helped me was extremely friendly and happy to help me decided on protein. The food is fantastic, the bread for my torta was perfect, crispy outside and soft inside. They portions are good and having a fast casual style restaurant is great. You could be in and out in minutes or sit for a meal. Highly recommend if you in the area.“
“My wife, child and I went to eat on a Sunday afternoon (April 2024). We arrived and told that we could choose a table to our liking. The staff tended to us within a minute or two. We tried the carne asada, suadero tacos, mole oaxaqueño. All dishes had excellent flavor! It has been years since I've tried Mexican food with such good flavor from the beans, rice, to every single item we ordered. We will definitely be back to this place. I can see this becoming one of the best real Mexican restaurants in Columbus.“
“Haberneros has consistently good food, delivered to your table fast and hot. The staff is friendly and prompt with service. The menu is a typical Mexican restaurant selection, but executed well. The pastor is spicy and delicious. Excellent choices for vegetarians. The drink menu is impressive, especially the huge margaritas. Finally, no meal is complete at Haberneros without the fresh made churros!“
“The food was delicious. I got the chicken and steak fajitas, and the queso was the perfect amount of spiciness. The food was so flavorful. The service was great. What I liked about the atmosphere is the beautiful paintings and the lighting fixtures. The only thing is that there are not enough parking spots because it it shared with other businesses. I personally would give this place a 9/10.“
“The birria tacos were bursting with flavor, and the meat was incredibly tender. The consommé that came with it was the perfect complement, rich and savory. The service was prompt and friendly, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back for more of these mouthwatering tacos. Highly recommended!”Esta auténtica birria en Ohio es simplemente excepcional. ¡No te la puedes perder!”“
“Always a fantastic experience getting La Poblanita. The employees are friendly, the food is incredible and the price is reasonable. I go at least once every two weeks- it’s that good. My family has been going for years now. Without a doubt the best Mexican I’ve ever had! We love the pork and chicken tamales, pastor tacos, and birria tacos, you really can’t go wrong.“
“Came in for dinner on a Thursday evening. Pretty empty so we were seated promptly. The inside ambience is fairly plain. Service was prompt and accommodating. Chips and salsa tasted fresh. Chips were warm and crispy and light. Guacamole tasted fresh, very good though I would have liked a larger portion.. Queso was standard queso. I ordered the chicken chimichangas. Authentic tasting, not as crispy as I've had in the past. My wife is vegetarian and although they do not have many vegetarian options they were accommodating and made the enchiladas vegetarian. Wife said they tasted great. Menu in general is not large. Overall very good. Overall very good. Will be back.“
“When you're looking for a traditional diner, this is definitely it. My boys and I love going here because they have breakfast food and in the afternoons they have Mexican food. This is the very traditional diner that you can go and enjoy lunch at the counter. Or stop in with friends and/or family and sit at 1 of the tables.“
“Taqueria Guadalajara in Columbus, Ohio is an absolute culinary gem! From the moment you step inside, you're transported to the vibrant streets of Mexico City. The atmosphere is lively, the aromas are intoxicating, and the flavors are simply out of this world. Each dish is a masterpiece of authentic Mexican cuisine, bursting with freshness and authenticity. The tacos? Perfection in every bite, with tender, juicy meats and mouthwatering salsa. The enchiladas? Heavenly, with just the right amount of cheese and sauce. And don't even get me started on the guacamole – it's like a taste of paradise! But what truly sets Taqueria Guadalajara apart is the warm and welcoming hospitality of the staff. They treat you like family from the moment you walk in, ensuring that every visit is a memorable one. If you're in Columbus and craving Mexican food that's not only delicious but also soul-satisfying, look no further than Taqueria Guadalajara. It's an experience you won't soon forget!“
“Delicious! I paid $24 for two orders of birria tacos which come with 3 tacos each and some sauces. Only took 13 minutes to receive. Very filling and fresh. Good customer service! Location is a little weird but there is parking. Accepts card.“
“The food here is literally so delicious ? The service is excellent. Very nice, very friendly. This will be our new favorite place. We got the birria ramen, birria pizza, Carne asada Street tacos, Baja shrimp taco, Carne asada, and horchata. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS “
“What an unassuming place locating inside Saraga on Hamilton. Loved the warm tortillas for the tacos. Friendly and helpful with menu suggestions as we are not familiar with different options. Too bad we only had limited time during the visit but will definitely be back again soon.“
“A symphony of textures between the delicious proteins, variety of cheeses and salsas, freshly-grilled fajita vegetables, topped with chopped cilantro, tortilla strips and queso.Friendly service, Clean dining area, plenty of parking and safe part of town.Strongly Recommend the seasoned rice, the juicy grilled adobo chicken, queso diablo, chile crema, and cotija cheese!“
“We had a really good experience here. The place is big so can seat a lot of people. We arrived at dinner time on taco Tuesday and were immediately seated. The waiter was prompt and personable. Our food was delicious. My only complaint is they charge $8 for about a cup of guacamole. It's really good, but come on, have you been to Blue Agave? They serve a huge bowl tableside for less than that.“
“LOVE LOVE LOVE!! We found them on a whim!!!I have been here at least 12 times within the last 1.5 months. They have the best customer service. All of the waitresses and waiters have been nothing but amazing. My fiancé and I love a good margarita. We can go here get a pitcher and NOT have a headache later, they use good tequila, their food…. NEVER MISSES!! WAYS 10/10. Definitely recommend this place to go for drinks or to eat! Oh FYI… their house made chips and salsa….. “CHEFS KISS” AMAZING!!“
“I recently had the chance of visiting Bubbakoo's Burritos in Ohio, marking my second visit after enjoying the deliciousness of their New Jersey location. Just like the first time, Bubbakoo's did not disappoint!My group and I tried two of their unique offerings: the Nashville Hot Chicken Bowl and the General Tso's Burrtodilla. Both dishes were bursting with flavor and lived up to the hype. The Nashville Hot Chicken had a perfect kick, while the General Tso's Burrtodilla offered a delightful sweet and savory combination.Beyond the consistently delicious food, what truly sets Bubbakoo's apart is their commitment to individuality. Each location boasts a unique, location-specific design, making each visit a fresh and fun experience.Overall, Bubbakoo's Burritos has become a must-stop for me whenever I travel. They offer fantastic food, a fun atmosphere, and a commitment to local flair.I highly recommend checking them out!“
“10/5 stars and will forever be my favorite taco truck! I always order the chicken tacos just the way they come and they are the exact same every single time! After ordering at the truck, I stop inside for some fresh pineapple juice and wait for my order to be ready! The inside area has plenty of drinks and snacks. They typically have horchata and pineapple juice on a daily basis. The mild salsa is something that I dream of on a daily basis!“
“This place has the best birria tacos I’ve ever had, with a very polite staff and quick service. I waited in my car, and they signaled me to come over within 5 minutes for a Burrito, 6 Birria tacos, and a quesadilla. All very good, but the Birria was amazing. All for a very low cost for the high quality you get. Would highly recommend.“
“I am a little new to Columbus , and I absolutely love Mexican food , I think I found me a new place to relax drink and definitely have some great food !! Thank you so much to Esmeralda H she was fantastic all around , from the time I came in until I left !! She told me about the Lunch Buffet everyday from 11am to 2pm. I will see you then !! Have a fantastic day , see you soon !!“
“Mixed bag. Clean and festive atmosphere. Poor service. ( slow / mistake in order) Solid food overall. Chips were good but the salsa was very mild and not super taste. My burrito was good. The steak inside was done well and tender. The refried beans were good. If I lived in Columbus I would look for something better but still be willing to go back“
“Stopped here for lunch over the weekend and was not disappointed! We had a large group so we tried a little bit of everything. The food was delicious and the service was friendly and fast. I would definitely stop here again if I was in the area.“
“I got the “La Casita” Fajitas which included grilled steak, chicken, shrimp and mushrooms. On the side was flour tortillas, beans, mexican rice, guac, sour cream and pico. The service at La Casita was great and our waiter was very attentive. The food overall wasn’t quite that tasty overall. The salsa which came with free chips at the beginning was quite bland and didn’t have a lot of flavor. The sizzling plate of fajita meat had quite a lot more ratio of vegetables than it did meat. Overall the experience was nice but the food is just not worth going back for in my opinion.“
“Excellent bar selection, an ambiance of friendly, but refined culture in the decor, concise and warm service, and especially the amazingly great food. All around, they have earned my business and the above rating. Try them out, I'll be surprised if your experience is different!“
“Martina went above and beyond tonight ! She was managing a lot of tables and did a magnificent job! It was my husbands birthday and she overheard us talking and surprised him with a dessert! It was really good too! Martina did an excellent job and went the extra mile for his birthday tonight!“
“It's a great spot for a super cheap meal. It was one of the only places I've found on the OSU campus that had pupusas. The empanadas are also a must try. It is cash only, so keep that in mind. It usually takes about 10 minutes to make your order, so make sure you have that time.“
“Best chicken quesadilla in recent memory, possibly of all-time! Customer service was excellent. Ordering & check out, a breeze. Bonus points for presentation on my to-go order. Check out this local gem if you’re in the area. You’ll be glad you did!“
“While the food was served promptly and was good, the music they had playing over their sound system was soooo loud, my dining companion and I could not have a conversation during our lunch. We had to just sit, eat and leave. It was so loud that when I asked the server a question about the menu, he couldn't understand what I was asking and completely answered me with something that made no sense to what I asked. I actually made a comment about the loud music, but was only asked if I wanted to be moved to a booth IN THE SAME LOUD ROOM. A booth was not an option since we specifically requested to sit at a table because a booth did not give my dining companion the back support needed. Our lunch was the most UNPLEASANT experience I had ever had at El Vaquero. If the music being that loud is their new normal, I don't recommend dining there. Not if you want to talk to those you are dining with.“
“It's hard for me to describe my experience here because I literally could not taste anything. My nose was congested and I took a cough drop, which is an anesthetic, right beforehand. Also, the wind blew my taco al pastor onto the bricks. I ate the taco anyway but I think I ate some rocks too. It was very sad but I will not let that interfere with what I'm sure was a very delicious meal. OK BUT FOR REAL the workers were very friendly and kind! This place also seems very popular as they had a steady stream of mobile orders in addition to the people rolling up irl. I thought the prices here were incredibly cheap too! I got four tacos for like $10? I highly recommend this place if you're in the area, the weather is nice, and you wanna just vibe at the back of a Marathon munching on some yommy yommy tacos“
“This is the most delicious and best value out there! We ordered dinner for three and it was enough for lunch the next day and all of it was only $50! They give you a large bag of chips and the salsa and queso are yummy! Will definitely order again!“
“I was in town for a conference, and opted to check this place out with a coworker. The interior is really vibrant, and features a self-serve chip + salsa bar. I ordered a margarita and two tacos (tempura mushroom and sweet potato + pumpkin seeds), and they did not disappoint. Our server graciously split our bill, as we needed receipts for work. Would definitely recommend!“
“The food is great!! I always get either tacos or gorditas, the burritos and quesadillas.Please understand that Mexican tacos are corn, tortillas, red meat with cilantro and onion, if you want to order chicken with lettuce, tomato and cheese that is American, your are ruining the experience, just go to taco bell instead. ??♀️“
“The food here is fantastic! It's homemade and served quickly. We've tried appetizers, entrees, and desserts, and everything is delicious. While my favorite is the grape leaves, you can't go wrong with a gyro or a piece of baklava. This family-owned restaurant is definitely a favorite spot!“
