Santana burrito, combo fajitas, and memo margaritas. All fresh and delicious.
Kat S.

My now-husband and I moved to the Falls in 2018, and shortly after, El Papa's opened on Howe Road. It quickly became one of our favorite restaurants--certainly the best Mexican in the Falls. At some point during the pandemic, they unfortunately closed. We have been really underwhelmed by the most popular place in the Falls (not trying to bash them), so we were definitely missing El Papa's. We were ecstatic when we saw they were reopening on State Road, just 5 minutes from our house. The menu is more or less the same, and the interior is similar but slightly nicer. The bar area is huge and looks very cozy. There is a small but inviting patio I look forward to sitting on next time we go. The place was spotless. I had fajitas, and they were fresh and grilled perfectly. Beans were incredible--so creamy. My husband had one of his old favorites, the Santana Burrito (carnitas with salsa verde), and it was even better than he remembered. I am excited to try the chile colorado, one of my favorite dishes there, next time we go--which I have no doubt will be very soon. Get the Memo style margaritas. Again, they taste fresh and not like the lime green artificial ones. We are so happy to see El Papa's back in our community!

Great dish

Agavero had popped up on my online feed and since I was passing through Cuyahoga Falls on a…read morethrifting run so I stopped by for a late lunch. Agavero is located in the large shopping plaza along Howe Avenue in a couple of store fronts. Inside is a medium sized restaurant decorated with orange walls and wood with larger paintings on the walls, the feeling is nicely Mexican without being hokey or over the top. The menu is extensive and prices are reasonable. I ordered the #4 lunch special, a Chile Relleno with rice and beans. Chips and salsa were quickly brought to the table; both were ok the chips were fresh and the salsa was thick and mild, I did add some hot sauce to spice it up. My lunch came out very quickly, the plate was pretty and the food was nicely fresh and hot. The Chile Relleno was interesting, with no batter and a very mild chili pepper. The Salsa Verde on top was bright and vibrant. The beans and salsa were both good with mild flavors and nice texture. Overall the food was good, although the flavors were a bit muted for my taste. Agavero is a nice place to grab some solid Mexican food, but I did find the food to be a bit tame. Prices are good and the service was great, but I am always looking for bright and exciting flavors.

We discovered Amigos a couple years ago, when seating was very limited, but they recently expanded and the decor is more inviting and authentic. We've tried a lot of things on this menu and have never been disappointed. Our food has always been fresh and plentiful, served with a smile. Two things I can ecstatically recommend: their house guacamole and their margaritas. Their hearty and bold guacamole is made fresh to order right at your table and it's become our favorite guacamole. We love their mango margaritas. We have found chunks of mango in ours, and make certain to always get the rims coated with tajin because they use tamarind to get the spice to stick to the rim--so tasty! This is a really enjoyable restaurant we always look forward to visiting!

The food was incredibly authentic - I tried the birria burrito, a menu item I've never come across before. It was phenomenal, the consommé was to die for. I was drinking it like soup; it was perfect. Washed down with a ice cold glass of draft Modelo, I couldn't ask for more. For dessert, a tres leches cake topped with Oreo crumbles. This fell short, as it seems it was prepared days ahead of time - lacked in freshness. Still good though, just not the best. Our server was super friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was like any authentic Mexican restaurant, nothing unexpected. Overall this place definitely satisfied the craving for some Mexican food, and I would definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area.

Stopped by El Meson in Cuyahoga Falls and had a really great experience…read more From the moment we walked in, the customer service stood out. We were seated right away, welcomed with chips, salsa, and water, and the staff remained attentive throughout our entire meal. Everyone was friendly, professional, and made us feel genuinely welcome. You could tell they have a great team environment, and it definitely shows in the way they treat their guests. We ordered the Jalapeño Pineapple Margarita and the frozen Octopus Margarita--both were delicious. We started with the guacamole, then had the Camarones al Ajillo and Camarones a la Diabla for our entrées. The portions were generous, everything came out fresh, and the prices were very reasonable. As someone who was born and raised in Mexico and is also a chef, I naturally have high expectations when it comes to Mexican food. While it's not the exact style of authentic Mexican cuisine I grew up with, I still enjoyed the meal for what it is. The flavors were good, and I felt the quality matched the price. More than anything, the hospitality made this place memorable. Great customer service can completely elevate a dining experience, and El Meson absolutely delivered. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

I've had so-so experiences with El Meson in the past, but this last experience was really great. I…read morereally wanted to try their new soft-serve margaritas, and they were wonderful! You can choose from mango, watermelon, or a mix, and I chose mango. They're super sweet, and the alcohol doesn't overpower them. I also ordered guacamole and shrimp fajitas. Both were prepared well and were super yummy. At the end of our meal, they gave my friend and me free shots! Overall, this was a very fun experience, and I'm really happy I went!

I'll start with the positives. The restaurant seemed clean, and the men's bathroom was spotless…read more As well, the gentleman I spoke with during my experience was very friendly. Unfortunately, I have more bad than good to say. I placed my order online through their website, which redirects you to orderonlinemenu.com. I arrived about 20 minutes after placing my order, which was supposed to be ready in 15. The gentleman I spoke to asked to see my order and said they didn't receive it because their computers were down. I waited about 10-15 minutes more to get the order, which I took to my car. As seen in the menu, the Lunch Fajitas Yukitan comes with 7.5oz of the meat you select. Having worked in a restaurant for many years, where every bit of food had to be weighed, along with years of food prep for myself, I realized (when opening in the parking lot) that there was MAYBE 2oz of chicken in my dish. I was also missing the tortillas. I went back in and explained the meat and tortillas. The gentleman asked me to get the dish and bring it back in, so he could show the kitchen. Fine, whatever. Within a moment, he returned my dish, along with tortillas, and told me that the amount on this dish is what they serve. I said, "If you bring a scale over here, I can show you this is nowhere near 7.5oz." He said, the portion I got is what they serve all customers." I replied that the menu should be adjusted, and he said he would tell the manager. I was further disappointed once I finally began eating the food, as it was very basic and kind of all blended, with no flavor from one ingredient to the next.
