Yabos closed their Powell location so we visited the Hilliard location today. I started with chops and salsa. The corn chips are lightly salted, crunchy and so good. Salsa served in a small container - it's never enough and so good. Thin but favorable! Sadly, no refills. Hubs loved the grilled chicken Bodacious Burrito served "wet" with Ranchero, pico, lettuce, and sour cream. He has found a new favorite @ Yabos! I really enjoy their Taco Salad. I order it without the tortilla shell. The salad comes with a generous scoop of Guacamole, pico, cheese, sour cream and choice of protein. I ordered the steak. On the table, you'll find bottles of Yaboo sauces. I'm a bit of a wimp avoiding all good items named Habanero,or Sereno. But I love the Lip Smacking Chipotle sauce! I shake some of the Chipotle sauce on the Taco Salad and are happy as can be! Service was great! We sat at the bar, chatting with the bartender. The restaurant was clean with one wall of windows and patio we love to enjoy in the summer! There are at least 5 large TV's, a full bar and a menu of inventive tacos. We highly recommend Yabos Tacos! read more

I'm not a Yabo's fan (tried other locations) but I was hungry and thought I'd give them a shot. I ordered delivery via Uber Eats. They're only 5 minutes away so I felt the food would be fresh and hot. It was just bad. Now I feel confident I tried and won't do that again. The goods: chimi bites (chicken), sweet potato waffle fries, white bean/chicken chili, and Baja rice with corn. In that order: just ok/slightly burned, not crispy, salty, salty/just bad. I'll stick with LC. read more

Expensive!!! and frankly not good enough for the cost. They also have weird hours, where i have been here multiple times, where they claim they are open, but aren't. Taco's tasted good, but not good to the point i would rate this higher than tacobell, read more

I would give it 0 stars, unfortunately thats not an option. Service was pretty poor, took 2 hours to get my food. Whole basket of chips, and a literal sample of queso? Like who wants a sample for a whole basket of chips??? The food was so bland I feel I wasted 2 hours of my life that I will never get back. Just go to taco bell, way more convenient and even if it tastes bad you don't lose your time. Also expensive, 0/10 take this seriously. read more

Comically bad food. The service was actually great and our server was attentive. You cannot, as it were, make up for real bad food with good service. The menu is too diverse to be made in house and it was obvious. They serve prepackaged avocado smash as their guacamole. One single taco is $5.50. Save yourself and head to habaneros for a much better experience. read more

I went with a friend and my sister and we received subpar service. Yes, everyone was nice but the food was bland, not hot, you get charged for chips and salsa. My friends meal was given the wrong meal and that had to be sent back. It was a mess. Idk if it was just a bad night or what but I'll Give it one more shot and then it's a no for me. I spent 68 bucks on food for 4 and was super pissed as we left needing something else to eat. read more

Literally the worst burrito I have ever had. It was huge but 90% of it was onions with very little beef. 3 of us tried it and then threw it in the trash. What a huge waste of money read more

Yabo's feels like an American-Mexican joint meets a sports bar. The menu has some American style tacos and straightforward versions of Mexican classics such as burritos, quesadillas, etc. The menu has many options so it is good for a group or picky eaters. I tried the taco salad with shredded beef and appreciated the crispy taco bowl, fresh ingredients, and flavorful beef. My husband enjoyed the burrito with chorizo. Everything was good, but nothing special. We prefer more authentic Mexican food with more flavor but Yabo's is a solid American option. We had an issue with our online order but the staff were very helpful and made sure everything was just right. read more

Omg-the food here is amazing. I ordered delivery and everything was just as we ordered it. Love their nachos-and a small is PLENTY for a meal or the share as an app. read more

We tried this place just a few days ago. It is right next to a Rita's and is a small but really cute restaurant. Our waitress was super friendly and their food had great prices. It was $5 for a kids meal and most tacos were between $4-5 a piece and were loaded with delicious, fresh ingredients. My kids tried the macaroni and cheese and the chicken nuggets/tenders. They both loved it! We tried their trio of queso, salsa and guacamole as an appetizer. Their queso had a very nice, light flavor. It was not spicy at all (which was good for the kids since they do not like spicy). The guacamole was thick and fresh. It was also not spicy but had very good but light flavors. The salsa did have a little bit of spice, we loved all three in the trio and would definitely order it again. I tried the "Make your own taco", which included chicken and the "Baja" style ingredients which were feta cheese, lettuce, cilantro and pico de Gallo. My husband also tried a few different tacos too. We both loved it! There is also a wide variety of sauces (some you do have to ask for and some are already in bottles at the table). Overall, we would definitely go back to this place. We thought the prices were good and the food was great! read more

Yabo's Tacos - Hilliard - a taco in a wrapper - Tacos Near Me - Hilliard, Ohio

This location has a very friendly, inviting staff. The restaurant is spacious with several TVs. The menu.... very confusing. The left portion had "signature" tacos that didn't resemble a taco. Such offerings as a Philly Cheesesteak taco and an Italian sub taco. I opted for 3 different tacos: a ground beef, a steak, and a pork. All 3 with a jalapeno slaw. I am not exaggerating when I tell you I could not tell the protiens apart by taste. This was my 2nd visit here and I came away with the same impression: dry meat with too much seasoning. These things were salty. Both times they reminded me of if you were to make the Ortaga taco kit at home and used 2 packets of taco seasonings instead of 1 with not enough water. Dry, salty, not appealing. This concept is that of kids at a school cafeteria playing with their food.... "let's put spaghetti into a tortilla shell, that would taste good". read more

First time here and I loved it. A large menu selection. I went with the Carolina Pork Taco, the Don Yano Taco (an Italian sub on a taco) and the Nashville Hot Chicken Taco (my favorite). Since it was Taco Tuesday (mini tacos for a buck), I got three more! I highly recommend the Serrano Lime sauce. Service was amazing and super friendly. read more

Yabo's Tacos - Hilliard - Don Yabo (Italian Sub) Taco, Carolina Pork Taco, Nashville Hot Chicken Taco. - Tacos Near Me - Hilliard, Ohio

First time at Yabo's and it was good. Server was very friendly and made sure we always checking on us. The chimichanga was good and crispy and the chorizo was great! If you get a margarita make sure it's on the rocks, frozen wasn't very boozy. read more

A laid back place with great service. I would say the most memorable thing was the awesome service that we received. Our server was outgoing and friendly. He was attentive, made suggestions for food to try, and made us laugh. There is bar seating available, or regular tables. They have televisions playing sports. The tacos were good. Their tortilla chips were warm and salty. We got the trio of salsa, queso, and guac. The queso and salsa we pretty good. Overall it was good food, but personally I like Condado tacos better. read more

Ordered two takeout bowls. One veggie one fish. My veggie was great and my friend loved his fish. Only taking a star off for portion size. Seems pricier than Chipotle with a smaller container. Definitely get the gauc and chips!! Chips were warm and seasoned perfectly! I'll have to make a trip into the location because apparently they have $1 tacos on Tuesday read more

So usually I am a Local Cantina kind of girl but decided to venture out in to other areas. Yaboa Tacos is super similar to Local Cantina with a few differences. Yaboa offers a frozen margarita option, which is nice. I don't recommend it, though...get it on the rocks. The cheese dip is great but the large they serve is....not large. For the price I expect more. I will say I prefer Yabos chips over LCs... They lightly spice them and it's just super yummy! I love Friday fish burritos and get them at LC....They offer them here as well and they're just as delicious. Will for sure be coming here again. read more

Have been here several timesand have never been disappointed. The tacos are to die for...do a different combo each time just to try them all. The service is super friendly, and tolerant of our young grandsons birthday celebrating. Great kids menu and the marguerites are fabulous. Need to go back soon. Food is very fresh! read more

3.0 Stars Location Overview: Yabos Tacos can be found on Cemetery Rd connected to the apartment buildings right off of the round about. This location setup looks like a bar food type of place and has Keno type games. Pretty chill and great selections of alcohol for the adults. Customer Service: Customer service here was pretty good. Nothing to complain about. She gave some good recommendations on what other customers enjoy eating. Quality/Quantity: The quality just was not there for me personally. Another attempt at TexMex food.... in Ohio.. and it just did not nail it. I enjoyed my food, just not like home. When I think TexMex food everything is authentic and the rice here definitely did not taste like it. Although, I did enjoy the interesting varieties of chile to add to my food. Side Notes: Big enough for everyone, very chill. read more

I stopped here to grab a taco to take back to work on Friday, after I had just heard that Hilliard now has a Yabo's. Need to check this out. First of all the guy at the bar, AP is his name was very friendly and excited about the new Yabo's in Hilliard and the food. He even gave me a tiny sample of the margaritas while I waited for my order. Yum! I ordered the December taco of the month which was the Steak n Cheese on a flour tortilla. This was really good and chips are amazing. My husband and I went back Saturday night and had a another great experience. Beer selection was decent and the wine selection was the Black Box it looked like. But hey the Margarita was awesome and you won't need to many. lol Check it out! read more

One of the few Mexican restaurants that charges for chips and salsa. However, the worst thing is the seasoned salt they put on the chips! When we asked to have the chips without the seasoning, we were told they can't make them that way. If you like chips and salsa, Local Cantina is just a few blocks away! read more

I have been to this restaurant twice since covid started. They are running a limited dining area, but regular menu. They have one server taking care of the bar and tables at lunch, he is fast and prompt. The chips and salsa are amazing. The seasoning on the chips is house made and full of flavor. I tried the taco salad my last visit and It was delicious and filling. Perfect stop for a one hour lunch break! read more

Boyfriend and I stopped in for a quick, lite dinner. Not many patrons so we had quite a choice of tables. They have high top tables, low tables, and bar seating. We chose low tables....I'm short. LOL We started with The Trio. Guacamole, queso cheese dip, and salsa with yellow corn tortilla chips. All fresh and homemade. Since we were eating light, we both ordered mini tacos. We tried the 4 sauces we had on the table....Sissy Sauce, Smokin' Chipotle, Serrano Lime, and Strawberry Habanero. I like spicy and did get a little bit of after burn but soooooo scrumputious. On the big TV, I watched Rugby for the first time! Quite odd but entertaining sport. They offer happy hour so we will have to come back with friends. read more

This place just makes me happy. Great service, creative takes on Tex-Mex dishes and a welcoming space. The beer selection is solid and their margaritas are made STRONG. You can mix & match a number of delicious ingredients to make your perfect meal. Try the empanadas. read more

Yabo's Tacos - Hilliard - Mango margarita - Tacos Near Me - Hilliard, Ohio

We were visiting from our of town. Good was good. Service was sporadic. Parking was terrible.

Okay so my husband and I came here to try it out after hearing it was a pretty good taco place. Well let's just say we were not very impressed. My husband got the burrito it was bland it was just like eating textures. I had two tacos they were both really odd. I don't remember what they were but I'll post a picture. The only things we loved was the sauce, the mini chimichangas, and the strawberry cheesecake empanada. If your wanting an appetizer and dessert this is your place but entrees were not worth it. read more

the service was great, they took really good care of us but the food itself wasn't very good. we got beef tacos, and it had no flavor, seemed kind of expensive for what it was read more

Yano's had a great food and beverage selection. Love the tacos. Great location in Hilliard.

Great food and service. The variety of tacos was awesome. Philly cheesesteak taco was unique and tasted great.

I didn't get the basic taco when i was there but I got the cajun queso mac with shredded chicken, SO GOOD!! The food is very much Tex Mex but i would say emphasis on the Tex part! :) read more

Yabo's Tacos - Hilliard - Large Cajun Queso Mac. - Tacos Near Me - Hilliard, Ohio

Every time I eat at Yabos I really am impressed with the quality of food. It's just so good.

Very unique taco options! The chips and queso are great. The fish taco I got was average, could use something more to spice it up. Good margs! But the staff are fantastic, very friendly and great service! read more

Only tried this place once, but was very impressed. Great service, good prices, good flavor. Mosquito bites are really good! Solid guac, average queso, good salsa. Tried a shrimp baja taco and a couple mini tacos. Our server, (I think it was Robert?) did a great job explaining everything. It's not as confusing as Condado, but there were a few questions that we had. Don't know about the $15 chimichanga, that seemed a bit pricey. But if you stick with apps and tacos you should be ok. Got there on a Friday night around 7, no wait but it was still pretty busy. I think it's some kind of garlic hot sauce, but wow! It was so spicy and good! The other sauces were great too. There was a strawberry habanero one that was awesome as well. Anyways, will come back and edit the review once I've visited a few more times. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was that (in my opinion) it's not quite as good as Condado. But who knows, this may be my new favorite taco spot right in my back yard! I think it's much better than Local Cantina! read more

Not impressed at all. Sour and weak margaritas. Tacos lack the flavor the menu indicates and the prices we way more than any other local established taco locals. Better step up you game but do not see myself coming backever.com read more

The chips, salsa, and queso are so good! I also enjoy the rice and bean bowl, the stack and the sissy sauce.

This place is one of our go to taco places! I usually get the bacon cheeseburger taco and the wife gets a yabo taco salad. The shell for the taco salad is simple but amazing and the wife loves it. Finally, their strawberry cheesecake empatatas is so delicious and highly recommended! read more

Quiet, removed from the street, but oh so worth the discovery! Pulled pork taco, grilled fish taco, and beef tacos were excellent. Chips and chorizo quest were wonderful. Definitely returning here. Service was prompt. read more

Amazing food,amazing drinks, amazing service it's everything you want from a restaurant it's fast and has great food for cheap prices I have had there shrimp tacos fried shrimp tacos and steak tacos and it is amazing you need to have there chips and cheese I promise you they wont disappoint read more

I think they are still working out the operations here. This location has only been open for a couple months. The employees, welcoming and fun! The beer, cold and plentiful! The food... not exactly what I ordered. Wasn't cooked thoroughly and portions seemed to be a little on the small side, but could've been a new cook learning the gig so I'll be back for another try after another month or so! The other locations have been a hit so I'm sure this one will get there too! read more

My family and I enjoy Yabo's Tacos almost every week. The menu is filled with many options far beyond just tacos. The food is consistently good each and every time. They also have a great beverage selection that includes a wide array of adult options from domestic beers to IPA's to spirits. We have gotten to know Krissy and her team and they treat us like family. The service is always excellent. Great people, great food, great service and a great location. Go to Yabo's...you will not be disappointed. read more
