El Biggo Burrito w rice, cheese, black beans and guacamole. Awesome. Add Hoof Hearted Brewing "Spazzin out in the basement" IPA.

Ordered by phone: they said ready in 20-25 mins which was fine. Went to pick up and it was an additional 40 minutes before got food. By that time Ice cold. Worst experience I ever had there read more

Been hearing about the famous Taco Tonto's for a while now, and finally had the chance to go there this weekend. Based on the menu prices, we each ordered two tacos and an order is chips/salsa. That was PLENTY of food! What a steal - the chorizo tacos were amazing, and they stuff those puppies full. Seating was limited, and we had to eat outside, but the tacos were so delicious that I forgot where I was or even what year I was in. Big thumbs up. read more

This place is just as good if not better than what I remember when I first visited about 6 years ago and they have expanded and opened another location on the West side of Cleveland to boot!!!! Oh, if only they'd expand further and open a location in Phoenix then I'd be in heaven......a girl can dream can't she? The item that caught my fancy when I first patronaged this little restaurant is the sweet potato burrito which comes black beans and with alfalfa sprouts. \(o.O)/. Don't overthink it. Just try it and you will fall in love with :} Taco Tontos too! As for seating granted the inside is tight. I think a max of 10-12 maybe can sit inside, but on days the shared patio is open there's plenty more seating. read more

Never disappoints! Incredible food at super-reasonable prices. We're lucky to have this gem here in Kent.

Outstanding food, service and beer. If you want great food hand made( Not a Franchise) this is the place El Biggo will not disappoint!!, Great Vegan options. read more

Terrible customer service. The clerk, wearing a beard without a hairnet, doesn't hand the money back to me or even say hello when I come in. Just because you don't have a dress code doesn't mean you can act like a stuck-up snob. Since there is no corporate office, Yelp will have to do. There are other Taco Tontos out there, but the one in Kent has sucked in the last 5-6 years. read more

Have come here for lunch many times. This is a solid and classic burrito place in Kent. This is not Mexican food per say, but it is not trying to be. This is just plain good college food. And they have great beer available as well. Recommend and worth a stop. read more

While in town, I was really happy to have something healthy and pleasantly simple yet tasty. I had the sweet potato bowl, and the coriander compliments the sweet potato nicely. I added pico de gallo which I would definitely recommend since it gave some crunch and freshness from the onions and tomato. The portion size was really large - fine with me, I'll save half for tomorrow! A little extra cheese for me. Pricing is very good too, with the pico, mine was $7. I have some food allergens too, and the person helping us was very knowledgeable and thoughtful to help me. Really nice staff who seemed to enjoy working there. I would definitely come back again next time we are in town. read more

I guess this is sort of the hipster taco place in Kent. Very busy every time we have tried to stop in but finally managed to hit it during a lull one evening. There are only a few seats inside, so there were a lot of carryout orders happening while we were eating. The tables were clean despite the grungy vibe. We ordered a large chips and guac to eat while we were waiting for our tacos. The guac was OK but chips were very inconsistently cooked- some almost burnt. We tried the steak, chicken and chorizo (spicy!) tacos. Got the hard corn shells which were a really nice consistency and actually remained intact while eating the tacos. As others have pointed out, the portions were really large. Overall average food, but good if you are someone who is really hungry and working with limited funds, i.e., a college student. read more

This is my favorite place to eat in Kent. The tacos are incredible. The burritos are huge! And the margaritas are strong! Definitely get one of their incredible specials, especially the bahn mi special on Wednesday. The staff is so awesome! I eat here about once a week now! (Sometimes twice a week!!!!) read more

Absolutely the best Tacos I've ever had! I ashamed to admit I ate 2, despite them being huge! Fish taco and the shrimp taco made me very happy! read more

For years I've walked by this place wondering if it was any good... now I feel like an idiot for not going there sooner. Wow! It's pretty cool inside, small but colorful, lots of character... plus its elevation provides a nice view of Kent. The food was really good! I ordered the 'el biggo steak burrito' and a chicken soft taco. The taco was much bigger than I expected and the burrito was enormous, it puts Chipotle to shame. Plus I added the 'Fatali Ghost Sauce', freaking awesome! Lots of food (fresh ingredients) at a reasonable price. If you're downtown you might be tempted to try the new Mexican restaurant around the corner (Fresco). Don't. Save you money and hop over to Taco Tontos, you won't regret it! read more

A wonderful rival to Chipotle. A new friend recommended this place and I'm so glad we went! Excellent flavor in a big package! I tried their El Biggo Chicken Burrito with rice, sour cream, tomato & lettuce and hubby and I both shared a Sweet Potato & Black Bean soft taco. It was fabulous. I would have never thought that sweet potato would have been good in a taco. I couldn't have been more wrong! Sweet little joint that is trendy and casual. Wish I would have come here sooner! read more

Taco Tonto's - Inside! - Mexican Near Me - Kent, Ohio

See all

Nice interior space with an outward looking view. Cool outdoor seating area. Called ahead to see if there's a full bar, was told yes. Arrived and there were only select cocktails. Staff didn't know what a full bar meant, kept having to ask a lot of questions to understand each other. Just a heads up. Everything was bland. The crunchy shell tacos didn't taste like anything. The meat was bland and there was rice in the taco, washing out the meat flavor. Small portion of meat in the tacos. The salsa didn't help much. read more

Maybe I just caught them on a bad day...but I was really disappointed with my meal there. I ordered two soft tacos...first one was the combo which contained ground beef and pinto beans and the second one was the chicken and sour cream. Both came with lettuce, tomato and shredded cheese. First of all, the soft taco shells were cold and limp...i would have figured they would have either heated them up or possibly grilled them...so that was kind of startling on the first bites. Secondly, (besides the sour cream on the chicken taco) they were no sauces of any kind leading to a rather bland taste to both tacos. There was plenty of filling in each, so being full was not the issue...I simply felt that the meal lacked any flavor depth, which led me to this poor review. read more

You know I've had TT's a handful of times now and enjoyed it much more the first couple. This time I had kids with me and a cost conscious individual. It does seem like a bit of a ripoff to charge $1 per item added to an already pricey burrito. Kind of surprised that it does so well on a college campus. My bill was over $20 for 2 people and I did not have any add ons or a drink. It also took a pretty long time for what we'd expect out of a primarily take out location. read more

I have a vendetta against this place cause they double charged me and never refunded me. I showed them my account balance when it happened and they did nothing. Many times I brought a bank statement in, with my receipt and never got a refund because a manager was not in. I'm out $20 from this. It happened two years ago, and I'm a stubborn bitch. I'd like to go back, but I need my money or food compensation. Management, hit me up. read more

Okay, this was my first time here, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. I ordered chicken tacos which were HUGE. I should have only ordered one because the portions are large. The queso was very delicious--not too spicy, and very creamy. The guacamole was average, a little too much lime juice. The margarita was nice and strong. Overall, the food was super yummy. However, the restaurant itself was small and crammed. It took a long time to order, there were few people working, it was kind of dirty, and the computers weren't working. I saw the lady who was taking orders use her bare hands to wrap up a burrito (no gloves), and proceeded to do cashier and wrap up burritos with bare hands. Ick. This is a good restaurant for people who want take out Mexican food, or don't mind a crammed setting. read more

Taco Tonto's - Chicken tacos (pulled chicken). Guacamole and queso on the side. - Mexican Near Me - Kent, Ohio

Hello! I am a 4 year resident of Kent and a sometime supporter of Taco Tontos, but i will be honest, this place sucks. The first time I went the chips looked like they were bought from the grocery store. Round and stale. And im sorry, if I have to pay for salsa what am I even doing? I will admit that the chips have gotten better, but the story does not end there. Today I dropped by for a 'quick' to go burrito to take away, and ended up waiting OVER 30 minutes for the piece of shit pictured below. Good people, I implore you; can we not have a decent centrally located "Mexican" food joint in Kent? Because Taco stupids does not fit the bill. read more

I liked Taco Tonto's a lot when I lived in Kent. My friends and I decided to go to Kent last weekend and walk around town. We did lunch at Taco Tonto's. The food is still really good. Grateful Dead, Rolling Stones and other classic rock tunes played. Coming here really made me miss Kent. Then the punk kids started rioting that day. And the sad thing is, some dudes I used to hang out with started that stupid College Fest. I also saw a dude pissing behind a dumpster around the corner at 3 pm. It reminded me of the weird, creepy creature in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive. This bastard was just as creepy. I am happy they are bringing Taco Tonto's to Lakewood. read more

Taco Tontos is the hidden gem of restaurants in Kent. The food itself is amazing, and the portions are huge! I'll probably be eating my burrito bowl for a few days, happily! The reason I'm giving a four star review is because the entire restaurant is probably one of the smallest restaurants in Kent. I actually saw people leaving because of how crowded it was getting. It's not that there were a ton of people in the restaurant, just the way the inside is set up made it seem even smaller than it already is. I will be visiting Taco Tontos in the future, I'll just get my food to go. read more

Tacos Tanto's. Your unnecessarily large and cheesy burritos have been supporting my most primal craving for meat and cheese for about a year now. I always get an el biggo steak burrito with chipotle mayo. My only regret is that eating two of them in one sitting would be socially unacceptable. The daily specials they have are exciting, creative and delicious. read more

Absolutely awesome place. Amazing beer selection and great owners. The local hookup for Hoof Hearted goodies. Can't wait to go back for food! read more

I love the sweet potato taco customized with guacamole as "glue" and sub pinto beans for black beans. Nachos are huge and ideal for sharing.

Food is always amazing and so are the handmade margaritas!! Love the staff and vibe!

A kent staple food, if you haven't tried, you must! Definately suggest to anyone, especially foodies! My favorite order is a chicken burrito with black beans and fresh jalapeños added. My gf likes the sweet potato burrito with chorizo added. Orders can get expensive if you make too many additions as they are extra charges. The burritos are baked in an oven and are lightly charred and crispy! The Tacos are massive, so are the burritos for that matter, the portions are generous. And the food quality is great. Their house made sauces pair with the food very well! read more

Gosh- have been going here for like , ages! Has not changed a bit and since it is a spectacular day outside , we decided tacos and Kent is a good idea. The food here is always fresh, the place is adorable and has such a fun vibe. Love it here. Prices are reasonable and on par with other enormous burritos and tacos. The thing here is that the portions are awesome and huge and it's so much better than elsewhere. Overall, place is super small inside but they do have outdoor seating as well and it's worth it in the summer. Staff is friendly and filled with college kids. It's just fun and when done- be happy that you went . read more

I was reminded today how much I love this place! The food is consistently fresh, hot and delicious. The staff is always friendly and really hustles to serve those eating in and grabbing food to go. It's definitely one of the best places for tacos in Kent, Streetsboro, or Hudson. I love that you can grab a beer or mixed drink too. read more

This is my favorite place around that serves Mexican-style food. They beat the growing local restaurants (which I love) and are hands-down the best place because they don't overprice their menu items, you get A LOT of food and they provide the absolute best beer options. If you like top tier beer, this is your place. The staff is always friendly and they are pretty quick to get the food ready - but keep in mind, waiting for fresh food like this takes a few minutes. Taco Tonto's is freakin amazing. Go now! read more

It's a great hole in the wall. I love their Korean BBQ taco plate with tofu. And the sweet potato burrito and the spicy sauce- I've never had anything I didn't like there! read more

Came here for lunch with some friends. I got the steak jumbo hardshell taco; my girlfriend got the "regulata" steak burrito. Service was straightforward: go up to the counter and order. Pick a seat, wait for food, pick up at counter around the corner. The service was quick and friendly. Food was bland. For tacos, I prefer the meat to be juicy and flavorful (with spices). The lettuce and tomatoes should provide a crisper texture to the food, and clear the palate of the spices. Unfortunately, neither the steak taco nor burrito did this for me. The meat was drier than I'd like; the salt covered up most of the flavor of the meat and the spices. The lettuce and tomatoes, while fresh, did not lighten the flavor. Additionally, the salsa on the side added to the saltiness. Overall, good service, but food didn't have the complexity of flavors that I'd look for at a taco/burrito joint. read more

This a a great little taco/burrito bar in downtown Kent. I come here often, especially when I visit my son. I like the food. The portions are very generous. You will definitely have leftovers, unless your a college kid ( you might then polish it off). The atmosphere is soft of young hippyish. I do however get annoyed with the way they take my order. The order counter in very small and in a corner. The menu is large and varied, not very well laid out. This always delays my order because it's hard to tell what toppings etc. go with whatever I order. It also does not help that there are 2 different menu boards in different locations with different items. The owner is the one you usually runs the counter. I find him to be tolerable, but generally impatient. I go for the food. read more

The taco salad is served with iceberg lettuce. It wasn't always like that. I'll have to say it's now mediocre.
