Food- 4.5/5 Atmosphere- 4.6/5…read more Service- 5/5 In a town where there are Mexican restaurants on every street and every corner, this one takes the crown. I have been coming here since I was a small child. I have tried almost every Mexican restaurant in Cleveland, but it is hard to beat the consistency of service and food that el Cazador provides. If me and my family life don't know what we want to eat, about 90% of the time that results in us calling in food and using their drive through! Or just sitting outside on the covered patio. If you go please try their wings, their papas fritas(loaded fries) chimichangas, quesabirria, a burrito or a chili relleno.

The sauce on the other two items was ok but nothing to write home about. They have a 2 - 4 - 1 margarita special, which was just ok ... I wish they advertised their full bar on their menu, I might have ordered something different. All in all, an ok place but make sure to try the beef tacos!

Unfrotunatly I forgot to get pictures, we were so hungry, eating took the priority. But they serve the typical food you'd expect to find at a Mexican restaruant, with a variety of proteins. I got beef tacos, they were very flavorful, and their queso was good, both with chips, and added to the taco. Pricing was very fair, and portions were decent. I'd 100% return!

We had very good food here a couple of years ago, but this week (3/31/2026) was disappointing. My…read morehusband's chili relleno was not edible. He found one piece of pepper (less than half inch) and the rest was a mix of mushy dough and rock hard cheese that glued it to the plate. He had ordered a dinner so he could get that along with burrito and rice. I decided to just get the daily special of taco salad since our server was not very knowledgeable about menu items. The soft drinks were almost $5 each. I don't have exact price because we didn't receive a receipt, but our lunch for 2 ended up being almost $40. We got the soft drinks because on our last visit, the food was good, but water had a strange taste. See photos of our food. The taco salad was very basic, no guac, no pico, somewhat brownish shredded lettuce and an overcooked taco shell. My husband, who usually loves salsa, would not eat the salsa that came with our chips. He said it just tasted like tomato sauce. Nobody checked back with us after food was delivered. There were no drink refills or to go cups offered, and we had to flag down someone to get the check. There are many better Mexican restaurants closer to our home, so we will not be going back.

We're Traveling from Ohio on business. This restaurant had great reviews so we decided to try…read more It's a nice, simple restaurant back in a strip behind some other businesses- so you may not see it from the road. Decor is simple, but plenty of seating and even plenty of large tables for large groups. We were seated promptly and given salsa & fresh warm chips right away. Salsa is something we're particular about. This was great salsa! A little more cilantro than I prefer, but still edible for me. The heat was perfect- between a mild & medium- maybe closer to medium, but didn't make my mouth burn after eating a bunch. The tortilla chips were white corn, thin and crisp. Not salted, so I salted each of mine before dipping in the salsa. Also, they bring a bottle of salsa and 2 bowls, so we each had our own bowl for double-dipping. We both ordered chimichangas. He ordered the ground beef, I ordered shredded chicken. They came with cheese sauce poured over, and served with refried beans that also had a little cheese melted on top (I really liked that!), Spanish rice, and a pile of shredded lettuce with pico, guacamole & sour cream. I really liked how the chimichanga was just a single one and wasn't too huge. It was still more than I could eat! But I'd rather have a reasonable size meal at a reasonable price, instead of a huge meal for a huge price, that you could never finish. I ate 1/2 the beans & rice and maybe 1/3 of the chimichanga. That was a very good chimichanga. It was packed with meat! And the meat was juicy & tender. I loved the cheese sauce on top. Our server was working very hard to serve quite a few tables. It took him a while to take our order after bringing our drinks. Because he also had a huge party of 20, that he was serving. He was nice and our food came out very soon after we ordered. The next time we travel here to Chattanooga, we plan to come back!
