Did not know of the restaurant before we drove past it, and expected it to be an average place. But walking in we were surprised-- modern decor and actually bright lights! (I hate restaurants where you can't see who you are there with and can't see what you are eating.) Had a cucumber mojito-- excellent, then both our meals were very good too. I had the Burrito a la Diabla-- a burrito with chicken and chorizo (yum) in a spicy sauce-- which came with a cup of seasoned beans that had bacon and-- SURPRISE!-- hot dog slices in it! The beans were great! My son, who used to live in Colorado, said these are "ranch beans"-- a very nice switch up from the usual the normal refried beans. My wife had the Enchiladas Verde-- chicken enchiladas in a fresh-made tomatillo sauce-- that was very good, too. We will be going back! read more

Best salsa and chips, ever! ... seriously! Used to live in the apartment complex behind La Terraza and would frequently go. Been a few years, came back, and wasn't disappointed! The salsa is so fresh and has just the right amount of kick. As far as the other food, large portions for the prices! Fan of the fajitas or fajita quesadilla. Margaritas are delicious as well. Located in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking available. Have an outdoor patio as well for the spring and summer time! An unsuspecting place that's kind of tucked away but highly recommend with stopping in! read more

We were in the area and needed a bite to eat. This place was right by Walmart and we stopped in. As we entered, were greeted & seated almost immediately.. chips and salsa to follow. Our waiter took our drink order while we looked over the menu. My sister decided on the fajita burrito with chicken & steak and I got the Hawaiian carnitas stir fry. We didn't wait long, our food was to our table within minutes. Everything was super fresh & delicious. The seasoning on the meat & salsa was a tad spicier than I have had at other Mexican restaurants. But this wasn't a bad thing. There was flavor. I had so much food that I was able to eat at the restaurant and take a full container home. We will be visiting again next time we are in the area. Not sure why there are so many mixed reviews. Food was good, service was good. Definitely worth a try! I wish I would've taken pics but we were so hungry that we had just chowed down. Lol. read more

The staff is super friendly and while not always immediately around to get extra salsa, they're easily waved down and happy to please. The chicken fajitas are flavorful, which is more than most other Mexican places in the area can boast. The ambiance on a Saturday night is busy, but not overly busy or loud. They have a nice selection of tequila with Cabo Wabo as one of the options. The place is clean and has a cute patio when the weather is nice. Easily one of the nicest and tastiest Mexican places in the area! Will keep returning. read more

On a good note the chips were served hot and the sauteed green onions and peppers for the main courses tasted fresh. Now for the bad. The salsa was very watery. The guacamole had only a strong onion taste- no lemon or heat. For over $4 the cheese dip serving was very small. Now for the worst. The rice had the taste and texture of minute rice. My steak Mexicana had so much fat that it was not edible. read more

Our most recent visit consisted of good, satisfying food, including their quesadilla supreme (including beef tips and mushrooms) and chicken loco.

Decided to try some where new today. My first visit. We were happy that when we walked in we were seated right away with no wait. Before we sat down or were handed menus our server walked up and asked for our drink order, when I told her we needed to sit down and look at the menu first she got an attitude. So my girlfriend just ordered water with lemon and I asked Cake or Pepsi products, she huffed and respond with Pepsi, so I just asked for Pepsi. When she brought our drinks she was setting them on the table I reached for mine and she set it down on the far end of the table without saying anything. Another table was seated and she completely for got about us and stood and talked to her friends at that table. Which was right across from our booth. After about 15 minutes I flagged her down. When she finally came to take our order, We ordered the queso with chorizo for our appetizer, and the mixed fajita with beef, chicken and chorizo. Our fajita came out in about 5 minutes, about 5-10 minutes later we received our queso. When the brought our fajita out it had chicken, beef and shrimp. We flagged her down once again while she was talking and carrying on with her table of from the other table, and explain to her that I can not eat shrimp she acted like it was a complete inconvenience. All while trying to tell me that it's what we ordered. They did take it back and made it without shrimp. It was hot, but tasted microwaved. The fajita came with a plate of rice, guacamole, and salad. There was a long dark hair mixed into the rice. I have short blue hair, my girlfriend is short and curly. The queso tasted like it had American cheese in. It was also luke warm. We ended up giving up on the waitress and just flagged the first person we seen that was walking by, we asked for the manager. When he came out and we explained it our entire experience he got very frustrated and started aggressively snatching dishes of the table. We refused to pay for a meal that we not only didn't eat, but also had hair in it. It was over all a bad experience. We will not be going back. read more

This is an adequate Mexican place. I think the best thing on the menu is the chorizo and cheese, get it as an appetizer and you won't be disappointed. As far as the food goes, it's average. I wouldn't say it's fantastic but it's good enough to keep me coming back for lunch. The taco salad is decent and they have really cheap lunch specials that aren't bad. I would go for the beef tips though, I would say that's probably the best. I have always had to go back to work afterwards so I have never tried the margaritas but I would like to. People are very friendly and I have never had bad service. read more

This was my first visit to La Terraza. I did not get a chance to celebrate Cinco de Mayo so I took the opportunity a day later to visit a Mexican restaurant. The store front of this place is attractive and the decor within was pleasant. We decided to dine indoors even though they had a nice little patio for nice weather days. As soon as we sat down, we were served salsa and red chips which tasted good. Our server was friendly and was quite attentive throughout our visit. Their menu was adequate, with plenty of variety for even the most picky eaters. I ordered 'ala carte' steak tacos and my partner ordered a chimicanga meal. My order came with 3 tacos filled with juicy steak and some cheese. I found it a little dry but after I put some of the salsa on it, it was fine. The chimicanga looked great, smothered with sauce and cheese, with some rice. We thought our food was good value for the price. I have no problems visiting La Terraza again when I'm in the mood for Mexican food. read more

Food was average. What was a negative for us was the poor service. Waiter was clearly not in a good mood/acted as if he'd rather be ANYWHERE else, mumbled so that we hardly understood him/had to guess what he said, didn't make eye contact or stop by our table to see if we needed anything. This was not a busy day & he didn't have more than 2 other tables. We probably won't be back.

Battleground is an upscale Mexican restaurant that absolutely nails authentic flavor. The food,…read moredrinks, and atmosphere all come together perfectly. The cocktails are creative, balanced, and reasonably priced -- I had the hibiscus mezcal margarita, which had an incredible depth of flavor. For my main, I ordered the Cena de Tacos, which comes with your choice of two out of five sides. I went with a creamy corn bowl and a side of Mexican rice -- both rich, flavorful, and comforting. My wife ordered the shrimp bowl with rice, which was just as delicious. What really stands out here is the authenticity -- every bite tastes like it was crafted with care and respect for traditional Mexican cooking. The interior is classy and modern, yet relaxed enough to feel comfortable. I also love the thoughtful touch of their craft beers being named after social justice initiatives. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. Despite the restaurant being nearly full -- she was quick to serve. If you're looking for genuine Mexican flavors served in an elegant but welcoming setting, Battleground is a must-visit.

I'll premise this by saying I had very high hopes for this experience because we recently relocated…read morefrom Texas, and after reading the reviews, I thought we may have a restaurant that contended with the authentic Mexican and TexMex we got down there. But alas, I don't think we will return to The Battleground. The service was awkward. The hosts and our waiter were, for a lack of better words, socially awkward young men dressed like they just left school and may have tossed their backpacks behind the hostess stand. It was a weird contrast for the slightly upscale prices and interior they present. The waiter seemed nervous, which, in itself isn't a bad thing, but they awkwardly lingered when it wasn't necessary and was hard to get their attention when we needed our check and to pay the bill. The food and drinks were a mixed review. The Battleground margaritas were delicious. The chips and salsa were not great, we mostly got a basket of tortilla shards. My partner got three tacos--carne azada, al pastor, and fish. His big takeaway was, "they're not very hot (temperature) and they're kind of bland." Similarly, we got the margs "spicy," but my Texas palate said, "this is spicy?" It had a tajin rim, from what I can figure. ...Maybe we're not the normal Ohioan clientele. A bright note, the refried black beans and esquites were awesome and the esquites big enough to share. I ordered the Pescado Veracruz, the plating and sides were good but the mahi mahi was chewy and only slightly above room temperature. Like I said earlier, maybe I did myself a disservice by hoping to find my new favorite Mexican restaurant... but, I just don't see us going back for great margaritas and sides.

Great visit still after all these years. Still rocking the…read morebest fish tacos around. Super delicious & very large portions. The grilled cheese quesadilla was enjoyed & the kids burritos ($4.50) were great.. grilled, super cheesy & beefy. Had a couple bites & wished I got this instead of my power bowl. My chicken bowl was fine as expected but a bit too healthy since I got lettuce & no rice. Plus the way ingredients are grouped (like bibbi-bop) the flavors don't mix & cheese doesn't melt on chicken like it would in a burrito. If the chicken was grilled it woulda added to the texture & flavor as well. Next time I'm getting a grilled burrito. Kids drinks are a good price at 1.50. The only thing we miss is the black bean soup that they used to have. Still nice they have the salsa bar. Owner is so nice & place is well kept.

Delicious, we always hit this place up when in Kent. Everything is so fresh, great variety, love…read morethe salsa/condiment bar of course. The kids love it too. Friendly service, plenty of seating and something for everyone. Haven't had anything bad here! Depending on when you go it can be loud or fairly quiet, quieter when school is out!

I stopped in with friends and was pleasantly surprised, La Fresa is truly a hidden gem! The food…read moretasted incredibly fresh and everything is made to order, which really shows in the quality. Every dish we tried was delicious, and the fact that they also offer ice cream was such a fun bonus. It was pretty busy when we went around 6 PM, and the parking lot was almost full, but the experience was still worth it. Overall, we had a great time and I'll definitely be coming back!

Great service, great vibes, and great food!! This is THE place to get authentic Mexican food in…read moreAkron! Most of the menu and signage is only in Spanish. I love that! Paleteria La Fresa also has a rotating stock of homemade popsicles in familiar and unique flavors, from strawberry to avocado to Mexican custard! My Yelp friend who joined me for dinner and dessert there a few days ago has tried at least a dozen flavors - her favorite is avocado. This was my first visit to this restaurant and spent some time looking at the pantry stuff for sale (didn't get anything) and debating which flavor of popsicle to get for my first visit here, before ordering two Mexican street tacos and one carne asada sopes for dinner. My meal also came with unlimited chips and salsa which we immediately demolished! Ultimately, I chose to get the Mexican cake popsicle flavor which was so smooth and creamy and milky and then crunchy with Mexican chocolate slabs inside! It was very refreshing, unique, and not very expensive at 3 bucks. My tacos were saved for later (and tasted delicious a couple hours later at home) but I ate the sopes at the restaurant. It was generously piled with carne asada and the corn pancake was 1000/10! I will absolutely order sopes again! For $16.50, I had a lot of food, a nice treat, and great company. I plan to come again!

My Favorite Place!! The BEST food & ice cream!! Everyone is always so nice and welcoming 10/10 recommend!!!

Taqueria La Loma

When traveling for work from Toronto, I usually take the opportunity to have my bosses pay for me…read moreto enjoy new and interesting foods. This time I was inspired to look for a Mexican ceviche. In my most recent adventure, I visited Taqueria La Loma in Akron and very much enjoyed my meal. After ordering from the counter, I sat down and was quickly given some fresh chips and salsa to snack on. Although these were delicious, I probably should have passed on this because what I ordered was much more that I could eat alone. I was impressed by the flavor and value of the Mixed (shrimp and octopus) Ceviche, and would absolutely suggest it to anyone. I'd never had octopus ceviche before, and was concerned about chewiness, but was pleasantly surprised at how tender it was. I assume the shrimp ceviche is similarly good. I also ordered 3 birria tacos. I found there was maybe slightly too much cheese in the taco, but the tasty consomé dip was impressive. To wash it all down, I had one of the best horchata drinks I've ever had in my life. It was sooo good and a must-have. The staff was attentive and helpful, and the food came out quickly. The restaurant was basic, but clean, and looks like the kind of authentic place you'd want to go for a casual but tasty Mexican food meal. I will be recommending this place to my co-workers in the Akron office, and will go back again next time I'm in town.

The servers are peasant and the inside is nice. Unfortunately the food is typical American Mexican…read more Very bland beans and rice. No real flavor to my chimichanga. One of the best parts of a chimichanga is the deep fried exterior and crunch. Here they smother the chimichanga in cheese so there was no crunch to it. I know places like this are very popular so I gave it three stars but if you want authentic food look else where.
