Great food! Great service. I had the chimichangas. Delicious. It's the only Mexican restaurant I will go to now! read more

Their vegetarian burritos are great ! It sucks you can't order at the drive-thru , it's just for online-order pickup . The staff has been very friendly , and I've not had any issue with my orders :) read more

It's sort of a dive, but the food is decent. The chips and salsa they provide were definitely addictive. I had the enchiladas verdes with chicken. I would say it was above average for Mexican food in Dayton. I did like the enchiladas. The rice and beans were fine, certainly not the best I've had. The service was really good. Our server spent a fair bit of time going over vegetarian options for my wife. read more

The food here iS AMAZING. Authentic, fresh, great tasting. The service is awesome. We did not have to wait long to have water refilled and they oven offered more of their delicious chips. The ambiance is small, clean, and welcoming. Try the mini tacos, so yummy! read more

The food is bland and being a Mexican I know what real Mexican food tastes like. Maybe they are from a different region of Mexico. Traveling thru Mexic read more

No frills, but delicious! The portions are huge and it was inexpensive. It is a small place and looks like it was an old burger joint. I had the vegetarian huarache. I had never had one before and I loved it. The corn tortilla is extra thick and it was stacked with ingredients. My friend got a regular size burrito and it was the size of a Qdoba burrito, if you have seen one. There is a jumbo option and I am guessing most people can't finish it. Overall, I thought it was really tasty. The server was really nice. It was easy to find and parking was not an issue. I would definitely go back! read more

Outstanding authentic food and service. We go there regularly and can always count on a good experience.

By checking in, I got a 10% discount!! The service was very fast too. I have plenty for eating later in my fridge. read more

An absolute hidden gem in Dayton! Some of the most delicious Mexican food you will find! Even though it's a tiny little place, it's super casual and everyone is fast and friendly and will help you navigate the menu to try new things! You can let go wrong with tacos but I love try new things off of the "Authentic Mexican" section like Tortes and Sopas! read more

Taqueria Mixteca - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Salsa verde and salsa roja was in packets. Staff were kinda rude. I asked the old lady in the front desk something and she just looked at me annoyed and then some papers and left. Tacos were okay. Not as good as other taco places i've been to. The taco trucks in the Dayton area are so much better. 6/10 lengua was bland. read more

The food here was really good. Unassuming spot close to downtown. The bathrooms are located outside, and you need to ask for a key from the front desk to use. We ordered the cheese dip with the chips, tacos, and tres leche cake for dessert. Only bummer was that we were wanting to redeem the yelp offer but they rang up the check too quickly for us to pull it up, and wouldn't re-ring to honor the code. Would still stop by here again. read more

Nothing fancy, but darned good food. This is our default Mexican restaurant. This is authentic, solid food.

FOOD POISONED!! Just woke up from a nap threw up taste of the enchiladas still in my mouth taste like old horse meat disgusting! I feel like I'm digesting a rotting goat. I woke up sick and could only puke up a little bit of it most of it made it into my intestines and now I'm enduring the path. I do not know what kind of meat they had in their enchilada but it was rancid. Now the next morning diarrhea and I'm still throwing up if I don't feel better in a day I got to go to the hospital. I feel so much better after puking and sitting on the crapper for a few hours. read more

Definitely a hard pass. Just don't do it. The inside is small, parking is a decent size, drive thru window, and quick service. We sat down by the booth near the door which was the only seat available. The booth behind me was just terrible the kids were awful and even got nasty stuff from there fingers in my hair. The inside has approximately 10 tables and the booths are on the smaller side (if you are bigger you will have issue sitting in the booths). With this being said and it was packed 1 guy waiting for take out decided to take a 4 person table to wait on his to go order and the employees didn't ask him to move where people who was dining in could sit. The food was blah, we got taqitos (6) and they were definitely overcooked. The lengua tacos where ok not much flavor and no texture like other restaurants that throws the meat on the grill to crisp it up some. Then I did a check in when we walked in and the owner said they don't except coupons when a 10% off popped up once checked in. The best thing I can say about this place is its cheap but then again you get what you pay for. Go a little further down the street and hit up the amazing food truck on the right side if you are looking for authentic mexican read more

SKIP!! I ordered a BYO Burrito and Churro through Uber Eats. The burrito had a lot of lettuce used as filler. The majority of each bite just tasted like lettuce and sour cream. The Al pastor was average. Overall, If I ate here again, I would order tacos because there shouldn't be as much filler like the burrito. read more

This actually is The Best Mexican Restaurant in Dayton! While we have tried many establishments around the area, this place knows what they are doing in the kitchen. This is probably the only restaurant where the chimichanga I order actually came out crispie and very tasty. Their refried beans are hand made and so so good. While my wife was devouring her fajitas and a Diet Coke, I got my favorite Jarritos Mandarin to drink with my meal. We are very much looking forward to our next meal here! read more

Enjoy the intimacy of this restaurant if you were the wrong time of day or evening, it will be overcrowded to her service will be slow, but the food is always outstanding read more

Used to be the best place in Dayton, but they're cutting too many costs. Recently changed the menu, upped the prices without telling customers and made the food cheaper (I.e. they started cutting avocado out of their platters even though that used to be included). They even overbilled me on an item, I took it tip to the register and they said they'd fix it. I paid without inspecting the bill too closely... they had taken off a portion of the overfilling, but not the whole amount. Used to go maybe every other week, now it may be more like every few months. read more

I had bean tostada that was really good also asked it i could have a single cheese enchillada with red sauce. I shared the rice from my husbands meal ..it was a bit spicy. Food here is good. Service is good. The location is simple ... maybe a bit of a dive but it's def in a part of town we don't frequent. we were going to a nearby metro park. I would recommend it and will be back. only stopped here because the reviews were so good and it didn't steer me wrong. read more

Simple Location, some of the best Mexican food in town. I took a Friend there. She said it's the best she's had since living out west. Staff is awesome. read more

Pretty good an inexpensive place for mexican food. They sell mexican style tacos here. Its a very small restaurant in East dayton with a very low key vibe. I got takeout and ordered 3 tacos as well as the ceviche tostada. The tacos were all pretty good. There were two chicken tacos and one chorizo taco. Tacos are wrapped in two corn tortillas. You get the typical cilantro and onions with these tacos, a lime, and some spicy salsa. It's a great price at about $2.5 each. The only improvement would probably to have more sauce for the meats as they seemed slightly dry. The ceviche tostada was OK. The portions were good but the fish was a little bit muddy tasting. that is probably not their specialty, so it was not as good as the tacos. I recommend this place for mexican food in Dayton read more

Wow. I'm always on the lookout searching for some authentic and delicious Mexican food. Most places fall short.. not this place! The chips and salsa are the beginning of a good experience and TM brings out fresh warm chips and great salsa. I tried the menudo and pozole and it has to be some of the best I've tried anywhere.. including Mexico.. I'd say it reminds me of my mom's cooking. We've liked this place for a while but I waited to do a review to see if it was consistent enough. They do not disappoint. As a last note, the staff is very nice and helpful. I'd rather eat here than many of the more fancy places. Food is better, prices are better, and it's overall a down to earth place that'll leave you wanting to come back like it does for us. Hope you enjoy! read more

Rather rough older building but parking and entry are very accessible. I have never had a meal here that was other than delicious. The carne verde, shrimp Diablo, and tripas enchiladas are among my favorites. It is great to find meats beyond ground beef and chicken-- they have goat, tripe and tongue and prepare them perfectly. read more

We used Taquiria Mixteca again this year for our work Christmas party. The catering is a slam dunk! This is the best ground beef and chorizo in town. I'd recommend them to anyone. Plus it's a great Dayton Original, mother and son owned business. read more

This food was absolutely amazing. I think it was the onion that sent it to the top. The jalapeños were just hot enough. Service was quick and it's a hole in the wall which I think makes the food taste 10x better but that's just probably placebo. I will go back for sure since I've been searching Dayton for a good Mexican restaurant. read more

Really solid, authentic tacos. One of the closest I've found to reminding me of my time in California. Carnitas were awesome, so juicy. Green salsa is elite. Will be back to try the burrito. read more

Amazing food, service, and ambiance. After just moving back to Columbus from Los Angeles, I am glad to have stumbled upon a Mexican restaurant that is so close to what I used to eat while living there. Will be back frequently. read more

I've been a customer of Taqueria Mixteca in Dayton for years. I always get take away. The building is an old gas station, and would qualify as a "hole in the wall" if it were not for the friendly staff and amazing Mexican food. This is not Mexican food you get at all the chain restaurants. This is Mexican food that you would get if you were invited to someone's home in Mexico (as I am told by a friend that should know). I always start with the mini beef tacos, which consist of finely ground seasoned beef, cilantro, two corn tortillas, and a lime wedge. They never make it home as I consume them as I dangerously drive with my knee on the steering wheel. You'll love the food and the people. I recommend checking out the menu online, otherwise you will have a hard time deciding what to order because many of the items you might not have heard of before. read more

Every item we have ever gotten from here has been amazing. Our favorite items- grilled shrimp, queso with beans, veggie fajitas, chimichanga, caramel churro, horchata. The service is always quick. The restaurant is always seems clean. I would say this is the best Mexican food I have ever had- and i have had a lot. This is more of a Cali-mex flavor profile. read more

I am pretty disappointed in the last two visits at this restaurant. Prior to these past two visits this was our go to place for Mexican food however I don't think we will go back. The food quality is not what it used to be. The birria meat in my two crispy tortilla tacos was cold and dry. The taco shells appear to be cooked well in advance of my order. The shells were overcooked, dry, hard and cold. The taquitos were overcooked but they were hot but tasted burnt. Side of guacamole was not as good as they used to serve it. I don't know if they under new management or cooking staff but the meals are not hot yet very dark fried so I assume refried before served if that. Internal beef in tacos and chinicganga was cold. The food came out way too quick after we placed our order and was cold. This is a red flag. Service was good. I think you need to revisit the way you used to prepare your meals. Cooked to order. Sad to say but now I need to find another place for authentic Mexican food that is prepared when hot and fresh when ordered. read more

AMAZING TACOS. Very cheap and local restaurant. Simple service. very very good overall

The outside of this place would have you drive by without so much as a second glance. Really, it just screams "nothing to see here, keep moving along." The inside offers perhaps less ambiance than the exterior. However, the true strength of this establishment is not in the ambiance of its exterior or interior, but rather in their food and the tacos at this place are pretty much amazing. The carne asada tacos were very good and something that I would definitely recommend. I would definitely recommend this place. Yes, it looks a little rough, but remember the adage that the best tacos come from the worse neighborhoods. Tacos are not high class, they are a food created by humble people and yet prepared with such passion that tacos are one of my favorite foods upon this planet. Come check them out for yourself. read more

With Yelp! and DoorDash helping me to find tons of great new restaurants I sometimes forget m old favorites. I can't believe it's been weeks since I had Taqueria Mixteca. I'm happy to report it's still stellar. No matter what I get here I always get the verde or green sauce. It makes my mouth so happy. Aficionados will appreciate the menudo, tripe, and tongue. I'm nuts about the chorizo. If you care about decor or ambiance you'll never bring yourself to park in this neighborhood and that's ok. If you're like me and only care about fresh delicious food prepared by passionate cooks you have to get here. read more

When it comes to authentic Mexican food, Mixteca is tops. My wife and I go there about 2/3 times a month. In particular, my wife loves the chicken dishes. At most Mex places the chicken is cubed not seasoned and dry. At Mixteca, the chicken is shredded, seasoned nicely and moist. I love the shrimp items. It is hard to cook shrimp well but Mexteca gets it right every time. Everyone we have turned onto Mixteca is in love with the place. Keep up the great effort read more

My son and I had a fantastic lunch here. This isn't a very big or fancy place, but we had great service and the food was amazing. We both devoured the basket of warm chips with fresh delicious salsa. My pollo campechano came out sizzling on a skillet with 4 warm, soft tortillas. This dish was a wonderful combination of chicken, perfectly cooked vegetables, chorizo, and cheese. My son tried 3 different taco meats. He said each was delicious. Price was very reasonable too. read more
