Since my previous review I have had 2 fabulous meals here. Once with the Black Garlic BBQ tacos and once with the Al Pastor tacos. Both were flavorful and full of meat. Adding to the excellence of my most recently visit was the attentive and upbeat service from Ninyo. He took care to make sure we had everything we asked for. Thank you! They have upgraded the menu and seem to have more servers now. As always the salsa and chips were tasty and fresh and the queso is delicious. I am still hesitant to try the seafood but I can now look forward to coming back. read more

The food is pretty good. Margarita was great. Ambience is nice. Only thing I have an aversion to is the smell of Fabuloso (I call it Fabugroso ). read more

Another hidden gem in Delaware... I tend to be a little critical of Mexican restaurants because there are so many of them, and most are mediocre. Mi Cerrito is one of the good ones. The decor is nice and it is not too noisy. The service was really good. The food was awesome - the chips and salsa were good - their salsa actually had some kick to it. I had a burrito with rice and salad, which I really enjoyed. Wifie had the chori Pollo, which she absolutely loved. We found the place by accident but it was a great experience. read more

Meh I ordered the chimichangas supreme from here, it come with 2 chimichangas filled with choice of shredded chicken or shredded beef. Topped with queso. Served with Mexican rice, refried beans, lettuce, sour cream, and pico de gallo. The rice beans and salad were good, flavorful and a decent portion. The chimichangas were smaller than I expected but my beef is with the taste, it was a little soggy and lacked flavor. read more

Fast, friendly, and accommodating service. The food and drinks are delicious. The restaurant is very bright and festive.

My wife and I popped into Mi Cerrito for dinner on a Monday based on the 4-star Yelp rating and the fact that most other restaurants in downtown Delaware are closed on Mondays. It was a good choice. This is a standard Mexican place - no southwest fusion or gourmet taco slider stuff here - but sometimes you just want normal food. The margaritas were huge, the chips and salsa were good, and our meals were tasty. We both did the "you pick two" dinners. I went with a chili relleno with ground beef, and a chicken enchilada, while my wife did a chicken taco and a cheese quesadilla, both with refried beans and rice. I was surprised by how good the ground beef tasted, and the enchilada was basic and perfect. The beans and rice were....well, beans and rice. Not life changing, but good. Although the place could use a refresh, it was clean and bright and full of people. Our waitress was very nice and very attentive, and we enjoyed the experience. read more

Food is good if you get served Standing at bar and bartender walked passed me at least 10 time without an acknowledgment that I was in the building Not even "just a minute" "hang on" - NOTHING! read more

The food is amazing.The price is good too.The service is excellent.I have recommended friends there

Love the kiwi watermelon margarita! Tried it at the taste of Delaware event and had to come back for more! I love when the chips and salsa are complimentary and bottomless! The cheese dip has a slight jalapeño flavor but it's not too spicy. The salsa is very cilantro forward, but I could eat a little. The best was combining the salsa and cheese for a new dip! Yum. Excellent quesabirria and consume! Our kiddo devoured the cheese quesadilla! read more

My favorite mexican food in Delaware! I'm vegetarian and gluten-free, and they have several options for me, including a variety of vegan options - the most I've seen, even considering mexican restaurants in California. The salsa is always fresh tasting with lots of cilantro, and their house hot sauces are good. Service is always very friendly and super fast! read more

Our party had 8 in it, & we arrived at 7:45 on a Saturday. The place was packed! Small dining area, too. We didn't wait too long though. Our server was attentive & helpful, too. She got everything correct & the food arrived quickly. I got the Fajita Burrito & it was good. There wasn't a complaint among any of us. The food was plentiful & tasty. We were satisfied with our experience, & if ever up this way again, we might stop in again. read more

Love the food and service. Also enjoyed earning airline miles here as they are part of AA Dining Network. However last two trips in; no miles credited. Don't know what the disconnect could be but I'm tired of complaining read more

I've had this place so many times through DoorDash and in restaurant. DoorDash is always fresh delicious and great portions! In restaurant is great staff is so friendly! They also have jumbo pitchers of margaritas that are delicious and a good price to split with some one. You can also order margaritas for takeout! Restaurant is pretty big inside and both seating feels slightly more private. read more

The only thing wrong with this restaurant is that it is 3 hours from where I live...the margaritas are delicious (not overly sweet and pack a punch!) and the homemade salsa was tasteful. We all loved our meals--the vegetarian enchiladas (with spinach), the chorizo-pìna tacos, and the cuco's tacos locos. I have to say, too, that the refried beans were the best I have ever had; they added a spice that was incredible. Service was attentive and friendly, and the ambience comfortably casual. Somehow, I need to plan a trip back to the Columbus area just to come back here! read more

Mexican is definitely my lifetime, favorite genre of food... And I can be a bit picky when it comes to quality. In the case of Mi Cerrito, the food is absolutely amazing. Everything on the menu is delicious. I have eaten there with my family dozens of times. It is our favorite spot to go. If you like good Mexican food, you must check this place out. read more

Mi Cerrito - Restaurant sign. - Mexican Near Me - Delaware, Ohio

A small restaurant in downtown Delaware. They are one of the few sit down eateries open on a Monday in downtown. It was busy, but we got seated right away, they offer bar seating available as well. I hear their drinks are tasty but did not try any for myself. The service was prompt and friendly. The chips came out warm and they gave salsa bowls to everyone at the table. Huge props to this in times of covid as sharing things is gross. The main meal entrees were meh however. I ordered a chili relleno and a chimichanga combo. The chimi was really small. The beef had excellent flavor and was covered in cheese. The relleno came out cold and was one of the spiciest rellenos I have ever had. I took two bites and couldn't finish it. The server asked about it, when I told her she did not offer to take any money off the bill. Thank goodness for the chips to help fill me up because just eating the small chimi would have definitely left me still feeling hungry. I am glad too have finally tried Mi Cerrito after all these years, but I will probably never end up back there. read more

We love Mi Cerrito! Great food, excellent service! The staff are all really friendly, and after just a few visits they will know you and your go to orders!! We eat here probably once or twice a week and everything on their menu we have tried has been terrific. Also, best margaritas in town!! read more

I came for a weeknight dinner and the wait was longer than expected, but it appeared they were short-staffed. We were seated at a booth and given real menus, since the scanned menu didn't seem to be working correctly. They served warm chips with salsa. Yum. My margarita was very good (rocks, no salt) and tasted fresh. My shrimp tacos were also very good. I liked the slaw topper, and the rice as a side. I would get them again. This is a good spot for Mexican in the downtown area. There is street parking, and a city lot close by. read more

Three stars for the food. Service sucked bad. Mexican food can require water. Never saw the waiter again, had to go to bar to pay the check.

Mi Cerrito is delicious! I've never had a bad meal here. Customer service is always wonderful, whether there's just two of us or ten of us. My favorites are the fajita quesadilla, chicken and queso over rice and the crema steak tacos. I can't say anything negative about this place, it's wonderful - a guaranteed great meal! read more

This place is authentic Mexican food, and I can't recommend this place enough. I've lived in Delaware for 20 years, and this is the place you go to get amazing Mexican food. read more

Great Mexican Spot ! Cozy little joint in downtown Delaware . Great Food !

Pleasantly Surprised Cold Draft Beer in Frosty Mugs is a Bonus The Service was great too . Food came out fast and our server was attentive . Cant wait to come back read more

Great service and great prices. Love this place! Always feel full when we leave. Has to be a local fav... it's always packed at lunch time! Love that their chimichanga plate comes with two and they aren't fried to a crisp here! You must try! ****update: I put this good review up after we last ate there and that evening both my husband and I got extremely ill... and no it was not covid. Thought nothing of it since the food had tasted fine. We both had a chicken dish. The following week we went back again because the food is good and thought maybe it wasn't the food the last time. That evening my husband became extremely ill again. He again had a chicken dish- the chimichangas and I had beef. I was fine he was not. We emailed the establishment before posting this and haven't heard back so...... here it is. read more

Let me start with- I do not eat salsa. It typically is too spicy for me and tastes like it came from a jar. When the server sat down the chips and salsa it looked different than other restaurants'; my husband dipped in and made a happy sound. I tried it- wow! It was homemade and tasted of summer. So, now I eat salsa but only Mi Cerrito's. I had the specialty avocado, onion, and cilantro tacos and substituted the rice for the black beans. So delicious (I drizzled the leftover salsa over them ). My husband was delighted that they had chorizo burritos and wondered out loud why he hadn't thought of it. His food was huge and he loved it. I had a margarita with dinner and it was delicious. Amazing food. read more

Went here for dinner with my family when they came up to visit. While the food was tolerable, the customer service for our small table was terrible. My father had to get up and get his water and the check for our meal himself. Will not return. read more

The Food is Amazing! But the service depends on the server. Sometimes the service is good sometimes it's not. But the ambiance usually is good. 4 stars! read more

I was a little nervous when we realized they closed at 10 and we got there at 9:15 on Taco Tuesday but we were sat immediately. Their salsa is so good, it's a perfect combination of chunky and smooth. I'm a chimichanga snob and this one gets a 10! We are so happy to find a good mexican restaurant in Delaware. Our server was great, I forgot her name but it was something like Marlene maybe. We will definitely be back! read more

would give them 6 stars if I could!!! Always wonderful service and food, fast and warm! And the complimentary salsa is amazing! read more

Only a 10 minute wait on a Friday night (students from Ohio Wesleyan haven't discovered yet!). Our waitress was super efficient! We had our waters and orders in within minutes of sitting down and then our margaritas! Food was hot and delicious! The chips were better than usual- thinner and crispier! One of my favorite places to come to for Mexican food! read more

Just finished a great dinner of chicken lime tacos! Service was fast and friendly. Hubs had shrimp tacos, very good. Good homemade salsa. Very reasonable price! Forgot a photo but it's a taco read more

Queso fundido. Start with it. Keep it around after you run out of chips. Add it to what ever you order. I got the shrimp fajita quesadilla. I typically over order. Sharing the app with the table and then just the right size portion kept me from over eating. Since I can't do it on my own, I thank them for the restraint I don't possess! read more

I went here over the holiday weekend with my parents when I was in town visiting. The service was fast and they were attentive. I ordered a frozen lime margarita which was wonderful! Then I got a chicken burrito with rice and beans as an entree, which was great as well. They brought complimentary chips and salsa out to us right away at the beginning of our meal and kept them filled the entire time. There was parking readily available across the street, in front of the restaurant and a few city parking lots also available. read more
