  • Cozumel Restaurante Mexicano

    16512 Detroit Ave., Lakewood Western Suburbs

    216-228-1415

    Part of a small local chain, this former IHOP does the world a better service as a welcoming Mexican eatery. If the expansive menu isn't exactly loaded with surprise options, each plate unquestionably bursts with fresh flavor. Great house salsa and drink specials; vegetarian friendly.
  • El Carnicero

    16918 Detroit Ave., Lakewood Western Suburbs

    216-226-3415

    Eric Williams' new Lakewood cantina is not Momocho West, but it does share some DNA with that insanely popular Ohio City restaurant. Carnicero translates to "butcher," and the name is a pretty good indicator of what's to come. Slow-cooked meats like beef brisket, lamb, wild boar, duck and pork belly are transformed into savory toppings for tamales or fillings for roll-your-own tacos. The chips, salsa and guac here are just as good as that other spot, and so are the margaritas.
  • El Castillo Grande

    2532 W. Erie Ave., Lorain Western OH

    440-244-2335

    El Castillo Grande is the latest in a long list of restaurants to make a go of this quirky castle on the banks of Lake Erie. Order from the a la carte menu of tacos, burritos, enchiladas and taquitos, or from the more ambitious collection of house specialties. Items can be hit-or-miss at times, but for sheer value, this castle is king. Margaritas sold by the glass, jumbo, monster and pitcher.
  • El Jalapenos

    1313 W. 117th St., Lakewood Western Suburbs

    216-226-9765

    Comfy, cozy, and casual enough to take the kids, this tidy taqueria offers a large menu of freshly prepped Mexican and Tex-Mex standards, ranging from flautas, burritos, and homemade tamales to cheesecake and fried ice cream. Special menus for kids and non-carnivores make it a particularly appealing family destination.
  • El Rodeo

    23135 Lorain Rd., N. Olmsted Western Suburbs

    440-686-1250

    This pretty hacienda would look more at home on a Mexican hillside than on busy Lorain Road, but the big menu of housemade south-of-the-border fare will be familiar to most Northeast Ohioans. Among the notables, spicy serrano-spiked salsa is a standout, and quivering homemade flan, with a dulce de leche caress, is a delight.
  • Fresco Mexican Grill & Salsa Bar

    19310 Detroit Rd, Rocky River, OH 44116, Rocky River Western Suburbs

    216-795-5050

    They also have a second location in Kent at 100 E Erie St Suite 112, Kent, OH 44240; (330) 677-2588

  • Lopez Southwestern Food Club

    2196 Lee Rd., Cleveland Hts. Eastern Suburbs

    216-932-9000

    Colorful, quirky, yet sophisticated, Lopez's urbane charms present the perfect backdrop to its creative menu of "gourmet Tex-Mex" fare, ranging from lobster empanadas to mahi-mahi tacos and blue-cheese-piqued guacamole. There's also a solid selection of homemade desserts and an impressive array of top-shelf anejo tequilas.

  • Los Habaneros

    20255 Van Aken Blvd., Shaker Hts. Eastern Suburbs

    216-991-4522

    Diners can expect the typical Tex-Mex, South-of-the-Border assortment of tacos, burritos, fajitas, and combination plates; for fast, friendly, filling, and cheap Mexican fare, Los Habaneros definitely fills the bill.
  • Luchita's

    36 Park Ln., Hudson Akron/Summit County

    330-655-0059

    This classy-looking Mexican eatery — complete with handsome bar and first-rate tequila selection — features well-organized lunch and dinner menus encompassing all the usual crowd-pleasers, including burritos, tacos, and fajitas. But in our book, the savory chicken in mole sauce steals the show.
  • Luchita's

    3456 W. 117th St. West Side/Ohio City/Tremont/Detroit Shoreway

    216-252-1169

    Mexican homecooking can be made palatable to the American masses yearning to breathe fire. The enchiladas, burritos, mole, and hand-clapped tacos translate across the brick city, but each dining room reflects a different neighborhood.
  • Luchita's Elyria

    1134 N. Abbe Rd., Elyria Western OH

    440-365-0094

  • Marcelita's

    7774 Darrow Rd. (St. Rt. 91), Hudson Akron/Summit County

    330-656-2129

    This dim cantina hosts blues and rock bands during and after dinner. Mexican decor includes pottery and photos of Pancho Villa with his motorcycle.
  • Mi Pueblo Taqueria

    12207 Lorain Ave. West Side/Ohio City/Tremont/Detroit Shoreway

    216-671-6661

    Michoacan state eateries celebrate the simple pleasures of mole poblano, Swiss enchiladas with chicken and green sauce, and pork ribs with tomatillo sauce. The west side location is a classic taqueria (read: diner) serving a crowd that grew up eating the stuff.
