5 Best Mexican Restaurants in Ohio
There's nothing like authentic Mexican food. Authentic Mexican cuisine need not be found in Mexico, California, and Texas. There are many classic Mexican restaurants in Ohio, serving up everything from spicy to mild, from tasty fajitas to stuffed burritos.
The following are the top 5 in the state.
Los Guachos
Numerous awards have been presented to Los Guachos for their culinary accomplishments. A host of awards have been presented to them, including Food Network's top five Mexican restaurants, Yahoo's top taco spot in America, the Food and Drink Awards five best dinners, and more!
The Nonato family has been preparing tacos in Mexico since the late 1940s and are known for their quality. Their love of food and unsurpassed work ethic led them to immigrate to the United States in the hope of owning their own business one day. Through years of hard work, they were able to save up enough money to purchase their very own taco truck. With pride and an eagerness to start a new chapter in their lives, they quietly turned their taco truck into a huge success. Each day, more and more people waited in line to taste the best tacos in the city.
