The margaritas were delicious and fajitas awesome. Service was great. We were just passing through but would go again.

Fast speedy service, best tasting Mexican food in the area by far. The drinks are good and the selection is spot on.

Hands down the best Mexican food in Lima! Always friendly service and the selection is extensive. Loved having a margarita flight and carnitas. Absolutely a must stop when I'm in town! read more

Good Mexican food in a storefront operation in Lima? Yes! Was steered to this place by someone from Ohio State University's Lima campus who wanted to me to hit a local mom and pop rather than the strip of chain restaurants in the area. El Caz did not disappoint! Friendly staff, speedy service, and tasty food at a very reasonable price? Count me in. The eclectic decorations added to the experience. It appears that a full bar is available, but I was having a workday lunch and did not get to partake, but you can bet if I am in the area for an overnight, I will make use of their spirits. Check it out. Do you really need another drive-thru meal at a multi-national corporate chain? read more

Food was really good, service was super fast on a busy Saturday night. The atmosphere was pleasant and we enjoyed ourselves!

Highly recommend the Carnitas! Customer service is very fast and high attention to detail

If you can't find something you like on this menu then you should take a hard look at yourself. It's massive. Very unique food choices and things I've not seen in other mex restaurants. My daughter was surprised to see birria tacos on the menu which were amazing and I had the alambre Cazador which was very flavorful. Service was great and margaritas were very good. a little sweet for my liking but came with a lime and orange slice, which was a great twist. Good salsa too! I'm from out of state, and driving through Ohio. Saw the good reviews on Yelp. We went a little out of our way to get here but well worth it. Also it's located on the side of a strip mall and there is no sign for it on the business sign posts on the road side. But is super clean and colorful inside and the staff was very attentive and nice. Will be stopping in again when I drive through. read more

El Cazador - Birria Tacos. And Alambre Cazador - Mexican Near Me - Lima, Ohio

There is a reason why I'll be one of many five star reviews. Five stars. Full stop. Buried in a strip mall near the Lima Ohio DMV, this gem has some of the best service and food you'll find in the Buckeye State. Seafood fajita's come packed with a sizzling plate of flavor. Heated up tortillas and a plate of sides. Endless chips and salsa. Slam dunk prices. Any time we visit family in Lima, we make El Cazador a priority. Have gone more than half a dozen times since it opened, have never been let down. Consistently top marks across the board. Clean establishment too. So stop reading. Go to there now. Order anything on the menu. Satisfy your belly. I said now! read more

Wonderful food, great service & staff and very clean! Loved this place and can't wait to go back!!!

Definitely a hidden gem in Lima, OH. I choose based on the good reviews, though when we got there the strip mall location and somewhat dingy outside appearance caused me to reconsider. The inside, however, was immaculate and the staff was very friendly. The beer was cold, salsa was full of flavor, and the entrees were excellent. I ordered shrimp tacos- fresh pico, generous amount of avocado, and three big tacos means one leftover for a midnight snack. read more

Being from Chicago, we are spoiled with all the good Mexican restaurants. Just moved to Lima and tried this place first and was extremely disappointed. Server was not even trying to come back to my table after I returned that horchata, worst I've ever had! The best food in town, so far, is La Charreada! read more

Live in Toledo. This is by far the best Mexican food restaurant in NW Ohio. Just off I-75 in lima. So much to choose from. Chili relleno is the best we had since S California and Nevada. I wish it was closer to Toledo so it would become out go to place read more

Absolutely wonderful food and service. Great place to eat or just stop by for a drink. Their margaritas are amazing.

Great Mexican food and good service. We enjoy coming here for margaritas and vegetarian options. Never has disappointed!

EXCELLENT!!! They brought us complimentary chips and salsa which tasted fresh and delicious. They also brought me some of their homemade hot sauce, as well. I love homemade hot sauces and their did not disappoint with great heat and flavor. For dinner, I had the beef fajitas and my husband had the pork chimichangas. It was served quickly and was hot. The chimichangas came in a set of two and the plate was huge and served with rice, beans, pico de gallo, sour cream and guacamole. The fajitas were HUGE!!! The seasonings on the beef, peppers and onions was delicious! The peppers and onions were cooked perfectly to be tender but not burnt or mushy. The fajitas were also served with flour or corn tortillas, rice and beans, pico de gallo, sour cream and guacamole. They thoughtfully offered more tortillas when I had eaten the three that they had served with the meal. There were two gentleman who worked together to be very attentive to our needs throughout dinner. We were greeted immediately when we walked in. We were quickly offered a second basket of chips when we finished our first. And our waters were empty for more than a few moments. The restaurant's atmosphere was bright, festive and welcoming with comfortable booths and tables. Thoughtfully, they have two TVs in case anyone wanted to be able to watch the game while out to dinner with the family. And the bathroom's cleanliness was very impressive to me for a small restaurant. We had a very filling dinner for $25.00. Definitely check this place out!!! You will not be disappointed. read more

We stopped for dinner on our way back from Michigan. My husband and I shared a burrito, which was the perfect amount of food for two people. Everything was similar to other Mexican restaurants in Ohio. I don't fault restaurants for that since it seems to be what people like. Service was great. Our server was very attentive and made sure our drinks didn't get low. read more

Five stars all the way. The service was PERFECT!!!!! Chips and drinks ALWAYS full. Fabulous food! I highly recommended this place! read more

Hands-down some of the best Mexican food that I've ever had--even better than the Mexican food that I've had in Mexico. The Salmon and Shrimp Cazador was perfectly seasoned. Don't let the questionable exterior of the building scare you off. read more

Great food, the drinks are also delicious, zero complains everyone is super nice and the food is truly delicious. It's not authentic Mexican food, I'm from NYC so I know real Mexican food but it's really good Tex-me ! read more

Here i am 2 years later and thangs have changed. I order cheese dip with meat and they gave my wife and i some watered down crap that we had to return. They didn't make it right with us and as a matter of fact they tried to charge us more to exchange it. We got our money back and left. read more

Just had dinner here. Did not like the salsas, very tomato taste. Order the 2 for $8.99, - 2 Chile Rellenos with Rice/beans. When received check it was charged out as Alla carte. Which was like$5.00 more. When questioned server his reply was on the new menu it is not showing up on this deal. I said should not be showing me an out dated menu. I wouldn't have cared if it was good food. read more

I asked my server if I could use the buy one get half off coupon for two entrees. He said yes and it would be taken off at the register. The manager running the cash registered then told me that I could not use the coupon. That same manager took my glass for a refill and never came back. This is just poor service. I wont be back. read more

A+ amazing Mexican food. The service has always been outstanding, the food quick and delicious. Good for groups, families and anyone who love a nice Mexican meal! read more

I'm sure we will see this place expand to a larger location soon, as the fans keep rolling in. The food is really great, if not a great change from the same old tortilla. More effort is spent here to keep to tradition than at other Mexican eateries in the area, and that makes me sad. We need more eats like this in the Lima area! read more

El Cazador - Pollo Charro - chicken, bacon, onions, and mushrooms covered with cheese dip - Mexican Near Me - Lima, Ohio

This is the frozen food section at Walmart version of Mexican food. Not at all impressed. This was a one and done experience for me.

Just stopped to eat dinner at El Cazador as we were driving through Ohio. It was fantastic! We were greeted very warmly when we walked in, and the service remained friendly and efficient throughout. It's clear that considerable care went into the decor; it's bright, cheery, and extremely clean. Most important, the food was delicious. Everything was fresh and flavorful; my husband's carnitas plate was particularly noteworthy. The menu has a wide variety of options and the prices were extremely reasonable. Highly recommend! read more

Best Mexican restaurant in Lima by a mile. Very friendly staff and excellent service.

In a strip mall, but inside aesthetics were very nice, service was excellent and food was spot on. Will definitely be back. The guacamole was most excellent. read more

Fantastic food and margarita. I ordered the frozen margarita as soon as I sat down. Great margarita. I had the Texas fajitas.....steak chicken and shrimp. It was so tasty. Whatever they flavor the meat and veggies with when they cook them is so flavorful. Among the best fajitas I've had. Friendly and attentive service Highly recommend read more

The wet burrito was amazing! Great service and atmosphere as well. Highly recommend! I'll definitely be coming back here.

The food is good. My fav so far in Lima. The workers are social and friendly which puts them above the rest and makes you feel at home. Small place, but nice. Good margaritas! read more

Extremely fantastic Mexican food, served quickly, that is inexpensive!

We have visited El Cazador many times and was very disappointed with our last visit. We ordered a half pitcher of the blue curaçao margarita and was informed late that they didn't have the ingredients to serve it. We then ordered a top shelf margarita(with Grand Mariner) and it had very little tequila and had very little favor. The pitcher was full of melted ice and it tasted like water. We drank the pitcher and when we paid our bill I told the cashier that the food was ok but the margarita was terrible. We paid $20 for a half pitcher of water. If I go back I will diffidently complain if the margarita is not right or just get a house margarita.Also, the salsa is like eating tomato juice with a few pieces of cilantro floating around. read more
