Location: 3355 Harding Way, Lima Ohio Wrapped up a day trip exploring the Indian Lake area and chose La Charreada for a late lunch based on high Yelp review rating. Yelp did its job, as usual. We were seated immediately and the restaurant has a great vibe - comfortable seating, nice decor, and spotlessly clean. Our waiter was very attentive and gracious. We ordered the fresh guacamole as a starter and enjoyed a burrito platter and an enchilada platter (with rice and beans). Delicious flavor and huge portions The only real surprise was the fried topping on the guacamole. I think they were pork rinds... we tried a few but elected to go old school with tortilla chips. Service was fast. The food was really good. The menu is large - but I found every feature I was considering. This is just a few minutes from I-75 and I would drive by the 10+ options again to dine here. read more

This place has such great food! It's better than our hometown go-to. Wish they had a location close to us, but for now we will have to just settle for having it when we visit our kid at college. The soft corn tortillas are some if the best I have had! Same thing about their beans & tortilla soup. Everything is fresh, very well prepared, well seasoned & delicious. Had the breakfast tacos for the first time recently & that's a home run! Friendly servers, too, & the place is clean. read more

I love them. They've been around forever. Others come and go. The food is delicious regardless of what you order. The salsa last time was spicy. I liked it. But it's different every time read more

May be the best service I have experienced at a restaurant our waiter was very energetic to go along great with excellent food highly recommend the pineapple stuffed item. read more

Turned out to be a hidden gem a few miles off the interstate. Small unassuming building but was full during lunch. Ordered steak and chicken fajita nachos and it did not disappoint! Wife enjoyed her huge quesadilla and the lunch special #10 was enough to split between my two young boys. We will save this place on our list of where to eat when traveling back down south. read more

La Charreada - Steak and chicken fajita nachos! Some of the best I've ever had! - Mexican Near Me - Lima, Ohio

Great authentic food with lots of flavor. Phenomenal service price value for lunch and dinner.

The best Mexican food we have eaten in a very long time; very authentic and the portions are more than fair for the price. We got the super burrito and the Chimichanga meal with queso cheese as our appetizer and they were both very good meals! They fried the chimichanga the exact way I like them... Which is extra crispy! I would recommend this restaurant and it is newly renovated inside and out! read more

Best Mexican food I've had in a long time. I pass through Lima a few times a year and always stop somewhere in town for lunch, and this is by far the best spot I've tried. Quick and pleasant service, HUGE portions, everything fresh and really delicious. Going forward I'll definitely stop here every time I'm passing though. read more

Ordered the Fajita Burrito. I don't know who can possibly finish it in one setting. Absolutely delicious and more than enough for lunch the next day. read more

Worst Mexican food ever. Ordered the fajita quesadilla and the meat had no flavor. Waaaay more veggies than cheese. My cousin had the enchiladas and the tortillas were not even rolled up correctly, it turned into a big soupy mess. Would not recommend. read more

Absolutely my favorite Mexican food restaurant! Always nice size portions and excellent service.

The most rude and unprofessional owner and staf I have ever had the unpleasant experience in meeting. my family and I ordered take out and went into the restaurant to place the order so we would not have any confusion on the one special order of no tomato-based sauce on the enchiladas. The waitress said that she understands the container was marked correctly but it was not right. I called the restaurant for a refund and the owner was hostile and combative and continue to threaten me over the phone. I will never understand what has happened to costumer care and service. To add on the food that could be eaten was cold the chicken was under cooked the beef was grease just a horrible experience DON'T EAT HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

This is a family favorite! Lunch after church, weekday evenings when too busy to cook, a relaxing evening out. The food is authentic mexican & delicious. We enjoy the outdoor patio on nice evenings. Haven't tried anything on the menu that wasn't good. You can't go wrong! read more

Very very happy with the food and service! We had a birthday celebration here for about 40 friends/family. The manager, Sergio, did a great job! We had one waitress for our event and she did a FANTASTIC JOB! She kept our guests' drinks filled, kept our tables clear of dirty dishes, and ensured our buffet was filled. We had a fajita bar (steak and chicken) with all the fixins and both flour and corn tortillas. The room was secluded and private, it was beautiful inside, clean, and comfortable. If you are looking to hold an event, this is the place to go. We will do an event here again... for sure! read more

Authentic Mexican... delicious! Complimentary chips and salsa! The fajitas are excellent and huge! We like both chicken and steak versions! There is a bar and friends with us tell us the Margaritas are exceptionally good! I love their unsweetened iced tea as well! read more

I was pleasently suprised at the meal we had tonight. The service is exceptional. Restaurant is very clean. Just the right amount of spice in my food. It was piping hot. Guacamole is exceptional. I will be a return customer for sure. Oh I was about to forget the prices are great! read more

My girlfriend and I are currently still sitting in la Charreada enjoying the food, margaritas, and our amazing waiter Jose. After being ignored at another restaurant down the street, (a Japanese steakhouse about a mile away (I'm sure you can find it if you try)), we made our way down the road to La Charreada. The gold margaritas are the best I've had outside my own house or in Mexico itself. Our waiter Jose is great, not to say all the other staff walking around weren't also amazingly friendly to all the other guests. I can not stress enough that this may be the best most honest food in Lima. This may just be a little family owned Mexican restaurant, but watch your back city prime. This is the real deal! read more

Best food and service we have had anywhere in Lima Ohio. Clean, good portions, great flavor. Fried ice cream is out of this world. Prices are great too. read more

The service and drinks cannot be beat, the food is pretty good too! The staff always goes the extra mile and they should take great pride in that, as it speaks volumes of the management and training. read more

We were driving and found this place on Yelp. We each had the Jalisco pork burrito and it was excellent. Very flavorful with tender pulled pork and vegetables.Also a nice serving of guacamole on top. Yum Yum! read more

My husband and I stopped in for lunch after reading the previous reviews. They have a huge menu. He ordered Huevos con Chorizo and I had the Chillaquilies from the lunch menu.. Both dishes were plentiful, served hot and were very tasty. He didn't ask for warm tortillas, but he will next time. I didn't ask for beans, but I will next time. All in all, we would recommend a visit! read more

We are just passing through Lima, staying for the night and decided to try Mexican. This place is solid, good food, plenty of it, low-cost, friendly service, popular with the locals. The burritos are great and the guacamole salad is really good. We did not have a chance to explore the rest of the menu read more

Very friendly people. Atmosphere wasn't too loud compare to some Mexican restaurants. The food was excellent, not loaded with grease and very fulfilling. We had a long trip of traveling so this was a great blessing to enjoy. read more
