    the interior of a restaurant
    Christina P.

    I was so excited to try this place out! In true me fashion, I scoped out the menu before coming in which did not help let me tell you, I just wanted everything off of the menu. I popped in on a Saturday for a late lunch before getting on with my errands. Several places to sit, very clean and calm. I decided on the Carne Asada Fries. The lovely lady checking me out asked if I wanted some chips and salsa to which I said yes. Who the heck says no to that? The chips are lovely and made in-house and the salsa was mild. Then came out the fries and I knew...I knew I made a mistake. Not in my order, oh no because let me tell you I drooled when I saw them. No, the mistake was coming to eat on my own. Because these fries were on a plate that was larger than my head. THAN MY HEAD. For $11.75. Is your mind blow? It should be. Do I regret my choices? Heck no! But yea just a heads up, ginormous. Now how did they taste? Delicious. The toppings were numerous but not overwhelming. Guac, sour cream, meat, tomatoes and onions, creamy green sauce (it has a name but it escapes me...), I was here for all or it. Everything was well-seasoned and balance. I had to figure out how to re-heat them since I could not, in good conscious, actually finish them in one sitting but that's not a bad problem to have. The question isn't should you come here, the question is why aren't you here already.

    Baja Fish tacos
    Scot F.

    Tried Mamacita's today for lunch. Had Baja fish tacos and my wife had he cali Street tacos. She enjoyed hers but we both felt the chicken could use more seasoning. I am a big fish taco fan and was very happy! The building is a small space across from the university with three booths and a window bar. Also a few picnic tables outside.

    Nachos
    Shelly C.

    Utterly disappointing. We got takeout from here because some of our friends had really liked their food. We ordered a couple of tacos some wings and an order of nachos. Starting with the bad review do we can end on the less bad...I don't think that's a term... moving on! The tacos were baaaad. The carne asada was not spiced/flavored At. All. It tasted like I was chewing styrofoam-flavored chewing gum. On the tacos was supposed to be diced onion and cilantro. Well, I did get 4 little dices of onion, and about that much cilantro. That obviously didn't help flavor my styrofoam gum. The buffalo wings were just ok. The size was good but they didn't really taste like much. Nachos were ok. They were kind of flavorful, good portion. Personally I wouldn't get them for takeout, but eating them right as they came to your table would probably be good. Based on my friends' experience I am willing to say that maybe it was an off night, but I don't plan on ordering again. Disappointment cost us way too much money for what we got.

    I ordered the elote nachos, they were amazing! This place has a very good atmosphere and the staff are incredibly nice and helpful.

    The food and service were fantastic! The guacamole with the fresh tortillas we had a little of everything and sat outside in their outside seating area. We visited while staying in Kent for a month. I will go back again the next time we visit. Also, the young boy who served our food was polite and ensured we had everything we needed.

    Yay for a new favorite! We ordered 2 chicken quesadillas, taquitos with beef, chimichanga, and Callie's street tacos. Sour cream, guacamole and pico de gallo all came on the side. Chimichanga and taquitos were delicious! They were crispy and freshly made for our order. I would definitely ask for chimi to be fried a little longer next time! Taquitos came guacamole on the side. I really enjoyed these! The prices were affordable. We will be back to try the burrito bowl!

    Carne Asada Fries
    Erika D.

    Went this weekend to try for the first time! We were so excited and our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. We ordered the carne asada fries, beef taquitos, and the birria tacos. Everything was so delicious and we demolished the leftovers the next day. Can't wait to go back and try more menu items!

    Chips and Salsa
    John C.

    Had lunch here this week. It is counter service and they bring it to you as it is made. I asked questions about the menu. I was told the Cali Street tacos were the most popular item ordered. So I got that with 1 each chicken, steak and pork. They are served in what looks and tastes like homemade corn tortillas. A little onion and cilantro on top. They were exactly as described and tasted very good. I thought it was lacked seasoning. So I added some salsa to each taco for more flavor. I knew I would want more to eat than 3 tacos. I asked about the beans on the menu and the nice woman gave me a description that didn't sound all that great. She said the beans were not refried. They weren't whole either than were a little smashed. I passed. I thought $4.50 for an order of chips and salsa was a bit steep for chips and salsa. But I got it anyway. Then I saw why they were $4.50. When she brought the chips to my table it was clear they just cooked the chips themselves. They were piping hot and salty. They were excellent and worthy of the price tag. I would buy these every time I go here. I asked how many salsas they have and was told mild and hot. I asked for both and the tomato salsa was mild. Verde salsa was hot. They were both fresh made tasting and what I expected. Hot was a little hot. I would have liked more heat. Overall, I liked this place. Everyone working here is super nice and food is what you would expect. I will 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.

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!

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.
