Very Authentic!!! Very good pricing! Nice staff, clean and speedy! It's had to find good Mexican food but this surprised me!

Absolutely delicious and reasonably priced authentic Mexican food! I have been craving tamales for months now, but they don't seem all that common here in Cleveland. Luckily, through the help of Yelp, I was able to find Las Dos Fronteras! I called them and asked if they do take out orders, and the gentleman on the phone said yes, and was more than willing to take my order! He gave me an estimated time that it would be done by and I showed up a little bit earlier, but my order was still ready! You can tell it's a little whole in the wall because it has a very odd parking lot, but luckily plenty of parking across the street as well! I was immediately greeted when I entered the restaurant and they knew right away that I was there for my pickup order! For two tamales and a side of rice it was under $10, but they have a rule that card transactions must be over $10, so I added on one of their various Mexican Sodas! From what I could tell the restaurant was well kept and had authentic Mexican restaurant vibes through their decor. It also didn't seem too busy! I took my food home and it was mouth watering delicious! I even tried saving half as leftovers for the next day, but they definitely turned into a midnight snack haha! I will definitely be coming back soon! So happy to finally find authentic Mexican cuisine in Cleveland! read more

get the chicken milanesa torta, and i promise you wont be disappointed. its not the flashiest mexican restaurant, but you definitely know by the colorful walls and music playing. chips and sals of course while we waited. the food is pretty great, and staff is friendly. drinks were a little small but im not sure if that was because of the cinco the mayo event i was at! read more

This place is horrible, I surly would never come here again after the experience I had. First of all the servers were extremely rude kinda like a sassy teenager. Second the food wasn't good for the price. Third I found a staple in my burrito. Just the place itself it's bad. I don't recommend coming here. read more

Las Dos Fronteras - The burrito. - Mexican Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

It's a toss between Mexican and Americanized Mexican but very good either way. I had the tostada dinner which was beans, lettuce cheese, sour cream. You can add meat if like but depending on the region meat is optional. Ask for hot sauce. They dapple with sour cream. You will love the salsa. It is excellent, very chunky with onion,cilantro and tomatoes. Credit card machine is from about 1995. It's very festive and brightly colored inside. Disfrutar! read more

My wife was in her "I want Mexican" mood, so we went to a nearby Mexican restaurant, but it was closed. So I looked on yelp for the nearest Mexican restaurant that was open and it was Las Dos Fronteras. Off we went. Upon arrival, there were only two other parties in the joint. We seated ourselves and perused the menu. Five minutes later, our server arrived with chips and salsa and took our drink orders. The chips were unevenly and overly salted - some chips had a thick layer of salt on them, making them inedible. For dinner, I ordered Mole Pablano with chicken and my wife ordered fajitas. My Mole Pablano came with two chicken drum sticks smothered in a tasty mole sauce. I found myself wanting more chicken drumsticks and better yet, a boneless skinless chicken breast. But alas, the meal was tasty. My wife's fajitas were pretty tasty too. The service, including refills was pretty slow. My wife spoke to the server in Spanish, which the server obviously preferred. At the end of the meal, a different person stopped by to ask if we needed anything else in English. We'll probably skip this establishment due to average food, service, and poor location. read more

Best vibe in a Mexican restaurant that I have ever had in Cleveland. Waiters were so accommodating and kind. The food was to die for! Got nearly 5 courses and it was under 40$!! Al amazing quality. Highly recommend tamales de pollo y carne asada dinner ( end the night with fried ice cream you won't regret it ;) ) read more

Let's first start with the fact that we walked into a party.....awkward. Service was ok at first. I ordered tamales and they were cold. I asked my friend, who also had cold food, to check but the plates were just hot as if it was microwaved. When the server came to our table I asked if they could take the tamales back. He got an attitude and touched all the tamales with his BARE HANDS and told me it wasn't cold. We went back and forth and he eventually he took them back, not before telling us we need to think before we order and not to come back. All of this over cold food. After that he didn't speak to us ignores our table. 0/10 would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

The service was awful, the owner was extremely rude. And when the food came out it was really bad . Don't even waste your time.

Love this authentic Mexican restaurant. Great prices, food and service. Best authentic Mexican on the west side.

Taking the time to update my review because some asshole has been harassing me on yelp about this review- no doubt someone who works there cause who else would care about a review on this place from 2 years ago? He said i was "hateful"- The only thing i hate is those shitty nachos you made me pay for, your customer service & being harassed by some dude on the Internet- get right with Jesus- i will pray 4 u! -------------- I love the look of this place! It's so fun and festive! They bring you chips & salsa while you wait & it was knock off Tostitos brand so I didn't have to worry about it being too spicey! They use real authentic Mexican ingredients in their food such as iceburg lettuce, cheese wiz & mozzarella cheese! Mmmmm! Wondering what kind of veggies are in the "veggie burrito"? They are too! They change every day depending on what they have & when I asked what they had today he told me "whatever is in the kitchen"- cool! That's specific & helpful in making food choices! They also gave me a whole tomato in my nachos so I could cut it myself to my liking! It was expensive but when you use top Ingredients & take your extra special time making something (20 mins for chips with lettuce & whole tomato on top) you need to know your paying for quality service! read more

Off the beaten path place recommended by a friend. This is true, authentic Mexican. Fresh ingredients, huge portions. The fried whole fish was fantastic. Service was super friendly-loved hearing the employees having a fun and lively conversation in the kitchen. Also very clean. We will be back. Please go support them. read more

Las Dos Fronteras - a table full of food - Mexican Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

The guacamole is flavorful and has a nice citrus zing. The server was such a sweet girl and I think I have a crush on her now. The owner Adrian is a gentleman. He ensures the dining experience is a great one and asks patrons if they are satisfied. He is originally from Chicago and ran a banquet hall there. I am thankful that he landed in Cleveland. The food here cannot be missed. I recommend Al Pastor, Carne Asada and Pollo tacos. Next time you are craving tacos and want to head to La Plaza, come to Las Dos Fronteras and see what you have been missing. read more

Very authentic. Very fresh and worth the money you pay for. I ordered over the phone to go and they answer in Spanish. They speak English but it wouldn't be a bad idea to brush up on your Espanol. I had the tamale pollo w red sauce and beef taco with their homemade hot sauce. Hot sauce was excellente. I'll be back...this place will be one of my go to authentic Mexican eateries in this area. read more

P.W. Said it all, I was the Carne Asada guy in his review,lol. It's good authentic Mexican, for affordable prices. It's as if you're actually in Mexico paying with pesos. Goya pops come in many flavors and they have many of them. Tacos are very good, too much cilantro can ruin a meal, these have just the right amount. The location is off in the cut, so you may pass it, but it's there, you can park in the empty lot across the street if there's no spots. There portions are not nearly as big as Rincon Criollo, or Quisque laBella's for that matter. The taste is there, but more bang for your buck at those places. Unless you want authentic Mexican specifically. read more

AMAZING Experience! Chips and salsa were perfect. The music the vibe the entire place was like nothing I have ever seen in Cleveland. If you're looking for quality Mexican cuisine this is your place!! Amazing prices as well! Hard to beat will be back here as often as I can read more

Que Pasa Guerro. This is a pretty authentic Mexican Restaurant with a good selection of Northern and Central Mexican Taqueria style comida. Chips and salsa were good, nothing outstanding but none the less fresh and tasty. The were out of red pazole when I arrived but did have green pazole. For those of you who never had the pleasure of chowing down on pazole, Mexican hominy soup which is composed of big fluffy a little bit chewy Mexican(hominy) corn, a chile based chicken or pork based broth, shredded pork, cilantro, and other Mexican spices. This was pretty good. Only available on the weekends. We had Panucho al pastor, a couple of tacos and the bistec which is a very thin steak. Everything was very good except the bistec, it was kind of tough, but that is the way i remember it. Service was very friendly and efficient. A little slice of Mexico in Cleveland. read more

My boyfriend and I love this place. We come here and grab some Mexican cokes and tacos. The steak is our favorite and the steak torta is amazing!! Freshly baked bread, just so yummy!! read more

the food is not like it shows in the menu, the owner is rude , the food was gross . dnt go there nasty

I was underwhelmed by what I found here. The salsa was bland and tortilla chips tasted like they were stale. The rice and beans were better but not anything to write home about. But my molcajete - while greasy - was super flavorful. It saved the entire meal for me. My table mates said that their entrees were well seasoned, too. Prices are very reasonable. The food is accessible for any budget. The decor is festive, but the low lighting, super loud A/C, and dusty spots were a turn off during the day. And, like others have mentioned, the service is slow. But I think that the entrees are made from scratch. We were the only patrons on a Saturday afternoon so maybe this is more of a night place? Bottom line: Glad that I tried it, but I won't be back. read more

My husband and I stumbled upon this place, looking for a new spot to eat. It's now one of our favorite hidden treasures. The food is amazing. The salsa and quac taste fresh, the meat is juicy and flavorful and the fried ice cream is to die for. The staff is very friendly and service is okay. Plus, the decor is fun and feels authentic rather than cheesy, like other Americanized Mexican restaurants. My only complaints would be the wait we had to endure to pay our bill and the quality of the side dishes. It took several minutes for someone to meet us at the register, the rice was a little dry and some of the tortillas stiff and overcooked. I will definitely be returning here. read more

Sometimes you read other reviews on Yelp of a restaurant you've just been to, and you think, "Are we even talking about the same place?" Went here on the recommendation of a couple friends. Five of us showed up at around 3 on a Saturday. Sure, the dead hours between lunch and dinner, but they're open and still serving food, right? We sat ourselves and waited about 15 minutes for just drink orders. Oh, and we were The. Only. People. In. The. Entire. Place. After about 20 more minutes of nothing, another couple enters the place and is immediately taken care of. Their entrees were almost at their table by the time we were ordering. Yikes. It's as if there was only one person in the entire restaurant who had to do both the cooking and the serving. We subsisted on chips and hot sauce for the hour it took to get our food. I got the three-taco dinner with beans and rice. Absolutely nothing to write home about. My buddy agreed, but swore that the tacos the previous time he went were "mind-blowing." So I guess it's one of those places that has magic times of good service and great food? A bummer indeed. I really wanted to like this place. read more

This place is cool if you're into creepy waiters and dollar store tortilla chips. I gave it an extra star because I was really hungry and it was the only place open on the neighborhood. read more

Las Dos Fronteras - Mi Amor amors Mexican food! - Mexican Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

I do love the food. I don't love the service. Mexican culture is known to be a hospitable culture, and I'm just not feeling great hospitality here. I have been here twice, and will probably go again since it is one of the only Mexican restaurants in the Cleveland area that serves real tacos, and aguas frescas (i.e. horchata, jamaica). But I just wish that my next server doesn't make me feel like I'm bothering her when I ask for a refill. Also a big plus, they don't use lard. read more

This place is great. It's gonna be my new favorite cheap, hole in the wall mexican place. The decorations are kitschy and fun (not sure if they're up all the time-- we went just before Cinco de Mayo), the service was very friendly but not overbearing, and the food was affordable and delicious. I got tostados-- the chorizo was delicious. The guac tasted really fresh and good. My roommate got a taco and a quesadilla and it seems like they make the tortillas... which is great! Everything that we had was fresh and delicious, and two of us ate for under $15. No complaints here. Side note: no liquor, which I'm OK with, but it's just good to know. read more

I went here the other night based purely on the limited reviews below. I was looking for a good taco tuesday place, and Las Dos Fronteras popped up on my map. I was immediately intrigued by 1) P.W.'s review, which mentioned Le Carnicero and Momocho (YES, I have been to both and nothing against either place, but sometimes I'm just looking for some good, authentic mexican food . . .), and 2) the pictures of the menu, which list tacos for $1.85 each, and the tamales for $1.50. Seriously?! How can I not try a place that appears to have homestyle cooking for homestyle prices? Obviously, everyday is taco tuesday here. They started us off with a basket of chips, plus 3 different salsas. My friend ordered 3 tacos, and had to take one home. It was seriously a good amount of food. I had the chicken enchilada suisas with the tomato sauce, which came with a generous portion of rice, lettuce, refried beans, and sour cream. The enchiladas had just the right amount of sauce on top - not smothered, like some other places (cough, Villa Y Zapatas). I also had a couple chicken tamales, which are by FAR the best I've had in Cleveland. The horchata was delish, and a flan came compliments of the chef. Overall, I'm very excited to go back and try everything on the menu . . . or just order an entire meal of tamales, which were heavenly. The decor was sparse, but very clean. It's clearly a family owned/ family run restaurant, and they are open fairly late. No real private event area, but there is a section that is kind of sectioned off where you could put a dinner party or a group of people. It's only been open for a few weeks, so I'm not sure if they have their liquor license yet. But when/ if they do, this place will be first on my list if Mexican restaurants to hang out at! read more

Las Dos Fronteras - Chicken enchiladas suisas with tomato sauce, chicken tamales, three tacos - Mexican Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Everything we tried was fresh and delicious. Shrimp ceviche! Chile rellenos! GOOD, good refried beans! I'm going back for the best tamales this side of Chicago! The owners are friendly and proud of what they serve. This place is brand new, and needs YOUR support!! Get there!!!! read more

I don't know what it is now...I recently returned from a business trip to Texas and I've been craving mexican food! (So take it with a grain of salt that I'm a newbie to the texmex thing.) I made my friend stop for lunch as we passed and we stocked up on chicken and fish tacos, the carne asada, and some quesadillas. (My friend also got that rice drink...but it just tasted strange to me.) The chicken taco was awesome, what great flavor! Carne asada was also good. The quesadilla was good too - but isn't that just a "flat taco"? (Sorry, but I still am getting confused by the whole mex thing.) The fish taco was just weird...but I don't think that had anything to do with the taco itself. Being a sushi/sashimi girl, I can't seem to get my head around putting fish in a taco. All in all its a great place - with good prices - and now I know where to go when I need a mexican-fix! read more

I am no stranger to down and dirty Mex because I love good, authentic grub. Good thing me defiendo bien en espanol because our female server didn't understand a lick of English. No frills interior. I ordered the chicken and bean burrito. For $5 it was the largest burrito I have seen in years. I was totally bummed out by it. Chicken was, thank god white meat, but no flavor whatsoever. The beans were seasoned but in a burrito that large I had to seriously dig for them to get flavor. Too much lettuce. Booooooorring. Zzz. Chips are delicious. Salsa was okay, nothing great. And you WILL leave this place smelling like fried food. Yikes, I wreaked. As I say in all Mex reviews, I love Villa y Zapata for comparable down and dirty Mex. Way, way better food and service. I suggest you don't park like an asshole like I did...But there are literally 4 parking spaces in front of the place. read more

Not bad. Chile relleno was very good (except for the hard stem they forgot to remove). Rice, like home. Beans, they just alright. Potatoe flauta was delicious and so was the beef tostada. The service was great. The young ladies were good with translating what the dish was. I was disappointed that they didn't have any posole, which is a weekend dish. read more

We went here for lunch as we were looking for something easy and I was craving some tacos. The location is close to where we live - OH City- and it was fairly easy to find the brightly colored sign. Upon entering the restaurant I was surprised how large the main room was and the art work/ music were both pretty bold. Our server wasn't the best, friendly but dissinterested. I got the steak taco dinner & my girlfriend got the chorizo taco dinner. Both were tasty; her chorizo had good spice. We also ordered a cheese quesadilla which was tiny but for only $2 we should have realized that it would be that way. The complimentary chips & salsa were ok as the chips were very good but the salsa was bland. Overall, we will be back because I love having an inexpensive & good taco joint nearby! read more

The restaurant was bright​ and colorful​,​ but the service was not that good ( the waiter, admonished us about ordering queso- authentic mexican vs. tex mex). The salsa was good. Our first round of chips were stale, so we asked for fresh ones- My friend order lunch special #1- I ordered, burrito with shrimp ( upcharge) both were plentiful but very bland for 'authentic Mexican food' Too bad, it's close, and could be a great lunch spot :-( read more

Ate here during the lunch service on 5/12/14. The ambiance, service, and food were all good. The guacamole was not as fresh as I'm used to so I brought it up to the waitress and the owner came to apologize which I thought was really kind of him. The refried beans were great and I'm not necessarily a bean lover. In fact, I think the refried beans here are the best I've had in the city or any surrounding area. Give them a try, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Please note that there's extra parking across the street. read more

We have been trying to find a good cheap Mexican restaurant in Cleveland for so long. I think our goal was finally achieved. When we walked in, we were instantly greeted and seated. They started us off with a basket of chips and salsa. The chips were pretty good, but unfortunately the salsa wasn't anything special (I didn't like it). We started with a quesadilla. It was a 6 (or maybe 8) inch flour tortilla folded in half with melted white cheese. I was a little surprised at how small it was, but guess shouldn't have expected too much since it was only $1.50. Anyway, it was okay. I have made better at home. Then we each ordered the 2 taco dinner plates (comes with beans and rice). I asked for one chicken and one chorizo and my boyfriend got two carne asada tacos. When I got the order, they made a mistake and gave me two chorizo and no chicken. Disappointed but it was okay since I love chorizo and WOW...the tacos (both chorizo and carne asada) were delicious! Beans were okay, I liked the rice a lot. We had to ask for hot sauce (nothing offered and nothing on the table). I am not sure what kind of hot sauce we got, it was served in a small ramekin dish, but it was really good and really HOT...adding it to the rice and beans gave them an extra kick they needed. Sodas come served in a can (so be prepared no refills). I had a large Horchata. It was served in a very large glass, so no skimping on the drink. I have had better Horchata before but this was a close second to some of the best I have had. Service was a bit slow, but they were very nice and we weren't in any hurry so it didn't really bother us. Having lived in the southwest for so many years (with frequent visits to Mexico), I feel like I have had some of the best Mexican food there is and my expectations are pretty high. The tacos here were really good, have definitely surpassed my expectations and cannot wait to go back and have more tacos and even try something else. read more

Has a mom and pop feel. Could use a lil more order and more professional waiters and waitresses. Is the only thing keeping this place from 5 stars but over all great food and low prices!!!! read more

Las Dos Fronteras - Mexican Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Found this place on Yelp as I was leaving the zoo with two hungry kids. The interior was a blast of color and sound, with music over the PA, a soccer game on TV dried flowers on the table, lots of flags and some awesome black velvet Aztec warrior paintings. It was also clean and well cared for. The service was quick, attentive and kind, too. You can get beer now. I ordered a can of Tecate and they served it with fresh lime wedges on the side. We went al la carte when ordering. The tacos had real homemade corn tortillas an were 5 stars as were the refrained beans and the tostada. My daughter is not as adventuresome so I ordered French fries and a cheese quesadilla for her. Each were only $1.50. The fries were really good: piping hot and crispy. The quesadilla would probably be good with salsa . The location is between the zoo and I-90 on Fulton so it is a great option after a trip to the zoo read more

Went here Friday 9/6. This restaurant is the epitome of a mom & pop restaurant. The restaurant aesthetically is not impressive, however the food is very authentic and the prices were right. We stuck to the tacos which were great. I would recommend the chicken tacos as the meat was very flavorful and moist. In addition my wife enjoyed a chicken tamale with red sauce that she really enjoyed. Note: This restaurant does not serve alcohol, however my guess is you could likely byob. read more
