Food is always professionally presented it not just slop on your plate as is often at some Mexican restaurants. Staff customer service is the best of all Mexican restaurants i have visited. It tastes wonderful. I have been here 4 times and each time consistantly good.
One of our favorite Mexican restaurants. Great food and fast and friendly service.
Nothing special. Food is often times cold and comes in small, bland portions. Staff is great and the margaritas are amazing, but I’d probably go up the road to Puerto Vallarta if you want a good value.
This is hard to rate. The food has always been very good. I have been there half a dozen times. I WILL NOT BE BACK! About 2 months ago we went in, it was very crowded, but our food still came out in a reasonable time. About half way threw my sopapilla, I FOUND 2 VERY LARGE HAIRS. I almost vomited right there. Of course, they took it off my bill , but still! WTH!
Only a few people in the restaurant, took 10 minutes to get a waiter, and still messed up my order, then tried to charge me for stuff I didn't get.
Best Mexican food in the area by far. And great prices too!
My family absolutely loves this place. The food is never disappointing and the staff is amazing. I would eat here everyday if I could. I have dined in several times and did take out once. Best experience either way.
They need to learn that if you're lactose intolerant, that means no cheese of any sort that comes from dairy or sour cream. Every time I've brought my substitute, they still get regular cheese and sour cream on side items. They need serious training on food allergies. The food and service would be spectacular if they could properly accommodate guests.
Great place! Delicious food! We normally never have a wait to be seated. The restaurant is always very clean. They have very clean bathrooms and they always smell nice! This is one of our favorite places!
Great food and service!
Hoy fuimos para el cumpleaños de un conpañero de trabajo y nos atendieron de lo megor un buen servicio muy rrika la comida gracias a lupita que nos atendio delo megor y a evelia por ayudarme a que todo saliera tal y como lo esperaba 🙏
You will not find better in the local area, 100% earned 5 starts
The atmosphere is excellent. They have a variety of food and specials. They offer free chips and salsa. Their meal portions are generous and reasonably priced The staff is fast and efficient and friendly.
Amazing food and good service.
Food was great, server forgot about us
This looks place is legit!!
Best traditional Mexican restaurant in Licking County!
Huge menu of any type of Mexican food you want. Full service bar and fair prices.
Delicious foods and margaritas!
The food is AMAZING and the service is too! Plus, it's not super expensive and well worth every penny!
Best Mexican food and atmosphere I ever had you feel like you're really there because of the music.
Wonderful customer service. Really great place to eat .food was great. Great job everyone.
Very good
Great Mexican restaurant. Fast service even on busy nights you are greeted immediately and acknowledged for seating. The staff is friendly and most are bilingual, so practicing Spanish is easy. The food is always served hot, quickly and with a smile. They did not rush you out either. A great atmosphere to unwind after a hard day.
DELICIOUS AND GREAT SERVICE!
First visit was nice. Good customer service, great food and served quick. Authentic feel. Would recommend.
If you want quick service and good Mexican food, this is the place! I've never had a bad meal. Prices (for this day and age) are decent.
Love this place so much.
They have really delicious margaritas. But i wish they had a drink menu that showed the flavors and prices of them. Even if it was just on a sheet of laminated paper. I feel like each time i go my margarita is priced different
Well kept and by far my favorite Mexican restaurant. & their salsa is amazing. (Only Mexican restaurant I have found where I enjoy the salsa because it’s not loaded with cilantro)
Solid food and friendly service. Nothing amazing but everything was good.
The food and service was great!
Great Mexican food and priced well. The service is friendly and fast. Love the chips and salsa.
Great Food, Great Service.
Quick and delicious!! Enjoyed the atmosphere, music and excellent service!
The food has been on point every time I've gone. Sometimes the service can be a bit spotty, but overall, great place to get some Mexican food.
One of the best newer restaurants around. This location has made Heath a better option for going out now. Fantastic food, great service. I highly recommend the birria tacos as this is one of the only places to get them as this quality without driving about an hour out of your way.
Always good food and service.
Definitely a must visit restaurant if you love Mexican
The best Mexican restaurant around!! Great food and service!!👍👍👍👍
Very good food. Loved the guacamole. Large portions.
Definitely very disappointing, more like wanna be authentic Yes you have the foods but not the flavor. Everything was super bland and didn’t have any spices it seems, even la Paloma has more flavor than this Definitely don’t recommend and will not be coming back. I was excited seeing authentic in the name but was let down
Went there, waiter didn't seem to understand the order. Who got delivered and was confirmed that he didn't understand the order. Sent something back and the service went downhill from there. They came by and tossed the food on the table. Never saw them again to refill drinks ask how the meal was or if we wanted anything else. They came by with the bill put it on the table and left.

Food is VERY good. We will be repeat customers.
Great service, good food, great pricing!
Great food 😋
The food was great and the drinks amazing but strong lol worth it for sure
Viiiiiiiibes y'all!!! Good atmosphere, great staff food is slap. If u ain't hip u need to be!! Get a mango margarita...make it large one to 🥴🥰
Not bad. The rice and beans were really good. A couple of small complaints. The chicken nachos were pretty dry and the sauce on the Camerons Ala Diabla was a little bland. These service was good and the atmosphere is bright which was really nice.
Awesome food. It was my first visit, but will not be my last.
If I could give this place a zero I would. The food was gross. They kept getting my order wrong and the waiter had no clue
Steated quickly at lunch with great service. Tacos de Carnitas (pork) in corn tortillas is pictured and a large Sopapillas. The price is great and atmosphere was bright but also allowed for a bit of seclusion with the booth seating. Live plants were also nice to see and the lighting was decorative. The food was awesome.

Steated quickly at lunch with great service. Tacos de Carnitas (pork) in corn tortillas is pictured and a large Sopapillas. The price is great and atmosphere was bright but also allowed for a bit of seclusion with the booth seating. Live plants were also nice to see and the lighting was decorative. The food was awesome. Right after seating warm tortillas chips and salsa were served. The salsa was mild but more heat sensitive persons should know there is a warmth that builds up after, not offensive heat. Very tasty and smooth. Tacos, the pork was seasoned but not overpowering to let it shine with the toppings of the tacos. The cilantro was very fresh and very good! The hot sauce was fantastic, I would have loved more of it, I used the salsa that was served with the chips. It was the perfect amount of food for myself. The sopapilla was very flavorful and well seasoned. A large is a great portion if you're very hungry. The dough is more like a pastry texture, which was tasty, slight buttery flavor. Overall very satisfying and filling. The sour scream is very flavorful and a nice contrast to the weight of the meat. I highly recommend this place for some great Mexican. Awesome portion sizes and a good price point. The atmosphere is good inside, enough that I would happily return, possibly try the bar. The servers were very nice, check on us just the right amount, and were aware when they were needed. Look forward to trying more, there is an extensive menu which they also provide online. Happy eating :) Less
Great food good service nice atmosphere a bit of a language barrier but all in all a real good time!! We Definitely go there a lot!
They have the best queso I've ever had. Great service and food
Friendly service, delicious food. Lots of veggie options, which I love.
Food was fresh and sweet tea was great. Nice atmosphere. Staff very pleasant and helpful.
Friendly greeting, fast service, food hot, taste of food fair.
Great food, good service. Definitely will be back again.
Great food best staff very friendly
Good food, Great margaritas... definitely a recommendable Mexican place.
Lots of great menu choices, all at reasonable prices. Great service.
This place is excellent! We get alberto as our waiter often and hes great! Love the service food and cleanliness. Keep up the great customer service.
As always a pleasure eating here . You get your money's worth and more . They are awesome and the food is ,too.
Great menu, flavourful food & good amount of food !
First time we came here it was great, this time we sat for 20 minutes with no service. The men who were seated after us in the same section got their drink and food order in and we never even got our drink order taken. Ended up walking out.
Wait was too long didn't stay
Great birria tacos great service for being super busy.
Tlaquepaque made ALL my earthly dreams come true with the birria tacos. I’ve been waiting with bated breath to try them since I spotted them on TikTok months ago.

Tlaquepaque made ALL my earthly dreams come true with the birria tacos. I’ve been waiting with bated breath to try them since I spotted them on TikTok months ago. For those of you new to the birria game, they are corn tortillas dredged in a savory consommé from the slow-cooked beef, then fried crisp and filled with cheese can beef (sometimes other meats, but typically beef). At Tlaquepaque, they’re served in threes with a plentiful side of consommé, lime, cilantro, diced onion, and hot sauce. It’s cheesy and messy and juicy, and you will not regret ruining one of your favorite shirts (as I did). Pro tip: Make yourself a napkin bib and go crazy. Less
Good food. Good service
My first experience as our now local Mexican restaurant; it was delicious and the price was not bad at all. I can see it being my new go to place to eat.
Great food and drinks. The service was excellent. One of our favorite restaurants!
Really good food. Clean environment. Pleasant staff.
Excellent food, Excellent service! Definitely will visit again!
5 take out order 4 had issues with not having what we ordered. Avoid this place
Our favorite street tacos in Heath/Newark! We love coming here every time we are in town. 💯 recommended.
Food was good, staff was nice. Restaurant was clean.
We waited more than 10 minutes and nobody took our order or asked about drinks.
My husband and I were seated within 2 minutes of walking in. Our server, Lupe, was just awesome! Our beverages and chips/salsa were served right away...the food was incredible and prices are unbeatable for authentic Mexican food. We're definitely sold on this place and look forward to our next visit!
It was delicious and fast not too busy waiter very attentive
Everything I have ordered has been good. I like how the restaurant is decorated (clean and bright). The churros on the dessert menu are tasty.
Great food great service
Best Mexican in Licking county!!!
Excellent Experience
Excellent Experience
Delicious!
Waited one hour and 15 minutes for our food. A simple order: fajita nachos and fajita salad. Both were extremely watery and gross. That was bad enough, but waiter never checked with us. Waited a half hour for a wine refill, husband’s pop was never refilled. Won’t be going back.
Love this place! I always get their soft tacos and they are delicious!
Came here to take a friend out for a late Mother’s Day lunch and now I’m embarrassed I recommended this place. I had been here one other time and the service and food were great, but today….

Came here to take a friend out for a late Mother’s Day lunch and now I’m embarrassed I recommended this place. I had been here one other time and the service and food were great, but today…. My friend got the birria tacos and only took 2 bites, before deciding she didn’t like them. When the server came back I asked him if she could swap them out with a chicken quesadilla and I was told no. Why not? He said they would charge me for both, because there wasn’t a problem with the birria tacos. The problem is they are disgusting. My friend is very passive and non confrontational so she started to tear up. I had $30 worth of alcohol beverages and everything, and you can’t swap an $11 entree? Ok…. He could have at least asked how to correct it or make it right, got a manager, or ANYTHING, before just telling us “oh well” Won’t be back Less
I can't say the name! We have enjoyed the food. Typical dish's with a slight twist to make it unique. Give it a try!
It was just okay!
Very good as usual.
The food was good, but very slow and the staff is rude, routinely. Been here three times, and definitely not like the Zanesville location. It will be a long time before I go back.
Food and service were very good.
The food was good. They are still working out some issues between the dining room and kitchen. Margaritas tower is delicious.
so so so good 10/10
Food vert good service out standing
Horrible service!! After we were seated they brought our drinks, chips and salsa to our table! We never saw anyone after that. We waited 45 minutes and nobody ever came back to our table! The people that were behind us had the same exact problem and they also left the same time we did.
Food good service was a little slow.
Good food. Great service. Good prices. Had a nice time with my husband and our friends.
Solid menu and good food. Party of 3 all left happy!
We were told a 15 minute wait turned into 40 minutes we had 5 in our party another group of 7 was seated almost immediately. When I ask why she said because their party was bigger. A prior visit I did get seated but had difficulty get waited on, when the food came it was cold.
Excellent restaurant and courteous. knowledgeable staff. Keep up the excellent work. 😊
Great place to stop and eat.
Service was fantastic food was fantastic atmosphere was great too will definitely go back for lunch
We have gone now 3 times and absolutely LOVE it!! They have friendly staff and delicious food! Highly recommend going here for lunch or dinner!

The first time I went here it was really good! Fast service and food! The next few times after that was extremely slow! My grandma and her two friends came here for a birthday party and we were all so disappointed. My friend didn't get a refill on water until after she was done eating and I had finally asked for us to get refills! The other girl asked for ranch with the chips because the salsa is a tad spicy and it didn't come till the food came after we asked her again and then had no chips for the ranch. Had to ask for more chips then we were charged for sour cream that my gmas friend didn't eat because she sat it in front of me. Then they brought the wrong food for my grandma and I. Also charged us for the ranch for the first time! Like what? Worst service there is I'm sorry I served and I know how it is but to completely abandon your tables when your not even busy! I know they are new so may try again in a few months but for now they need to work on their customer service and being attentive. Less
Service was exceptional!
The food was Amazing and the service was outstanding, we will be back, definitely our new fav and you won't believe your eyes when you get the check unbelievably reasonable!!
Just tried this for the first time! We absolutely love Mexican food and this is by far the best we've had yet!
Husband and I had lunch April 7 and it was wonderful. We had good reviews from family members and neighbors and so glad we took them up on it. We will return.
The people are absolutely amazing and so is the food, the food is actually authentic. Would recommend 👍
Hands down, best food around. This is true food. I suggest anything with the jumbo margarita🍹
Best Mexican food!!
Finally this tax season baby girl got all the delinquent child support she was owed, so she decided to take us out for lunch. This place was extremely clean even for being new. Service was amazingly quick everything came out hot and fresh wait staff was very attentive can’t wait to come back and try more dishes.
Great atmosphere, very bright and welcoming. Clean and the service was good. The food was tasty. They keep the salsa and the chips coming and that was greatly appreciated!
Delicious food selections they are very friendly and awesome. Very fun place to go with friends and family
I'm SO happy to have this restaurant in town. The fajita burrito is absolutely amazing! The mango marg is delish as well. We've gone twice now and have loved the food and the staff is very friendly.
So good. If I died choking on the burrito de papas I wouldn't even be mad
Two of us were seated quickly, but it took a while for someone to get our drink orders. Took them even longer to get our food order, but once they did, the food came out quickly. It was AWESOME! Then it took a while for them to deliver the bill. I'm hoping they just need to find their groove.
Ohkay so it would be 5 star! The food was amazing. Service was even great. I ordered degollado with mushrooms. Was awesome. No complaints but they forgot my tortillas no bigge i noticed before i left and went in and got them. I sat down to eat and realized i didnt get my shrimp. I will return and try more food. Probably change my review if everything works out better.
Food was great, service absolutely terrible took 10 mins before someone asked what we wanted to drink then after the dinner we asked for 2 boxes and the check and once again waited another 10 mins, definitely never going back I will spend my money at puerto all the way.
Food was excellent and service was too. Highly recommend and I will be going again soon.
Don't understand a bad review me an the husband ate here an this is the best place in central Ohio for authentic Mexican food I love the services Guadalupe was a dang good waitress ask for her she has the best personality the cooks should have a gold metal for the food they made will deff give a 10/10 we will be back every check thank you all
First time there and NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL! Don't bother with this place, there are so many other good Mexican restaurants that will take great care of you.

First time there and NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL! Don't bother with this place, there are so many other good Mexican restaurants that will take great care of you. So, we had a group of 12 on a Sunday and they did get us seated about five minutes after arriving, but it went down hill from there. We waited about 10 minutes for our drink order to be taken. Initially we got chips and salsa, but had to fight like crazy to get those refilled, even then we got chips and one person was lucky to get more salsa. When we finally got our food order in we waited about 45 or so minutes to finally get our food. I ordered a fajita which very disappointingly came out luke warm with NO sizzle, in half a hollowed out pineapple; not on a skillet sizzling like it should have. Even the rice and refried beans were only luke warm, heck the plates were almost room temperature. I dare not complain and have to wait longer to get hot food! The wait staff was not attentive and refills went unnoticed, we were forced to try and grab someones attention to get them. All in all the decor in Tlaquepaque is nice, the layout is okay, but the food and staff need a major improvement. They won't be serving me again. I personally don't ever remember being in a Mexican restaurant and having to wait very long for food to come out like we did here. PS. Just thought I'd share, while I was checking out I heard another customer complain that they too had to wait a very long time to get their food, so it wasn't just us. Less
My husband and I have been sitting here for an hour and 1/2......still no food. They are not prepared for a busy day!!!
Delicious Food... Fantastic Staff... Thank You 😊
Awesome food. Great staff
Burrito Barbacoa is fantastic! Wonderful margaritas! Excellent service. Exceptionally clean. Great prices!
Our work group ordered in from here today. The birrea dipping tacos were recommended. They were dripping in grease, I had assumed they would be in the typical soft shell (or hard). There was nothing in them but shredded beef and cheese. I guess it comes with onions, hot sauce, and cilantro, but I had to put all these on myself, they should have been already ON the taco, in my opinion. Once I put ... More

There was nothing in them but shredded beef and cheese. I guess it comes with onions, hot sauce, and cilantro, but I had to put all these on myself, they should have been already ON the taco, in my opinion. Once I put all that on, my tacos were very good, the flavor was there, but I don't like my tacos dripping in grease, or having to put all the toppings on myself. I'll try it again, because it left a delicious taste in my mouth that I can still taste, but I won't order THAT again. I may try going on in and ordering, I typically get camarones al mojo de ajo or the camarones a la diabla, refried beans, and rice. Oh, and what's with the broccoli? Broccoli shouldn't be served in a Mexican restaurant, yuck! :( Less
Love the atmosphere, great food and the margaritas were anything but weak. 🤗
Beautiful place, clean. Great food, good service. Still getting their groove being new. My opinion. We will go back for sure.

Terrible Experience!!! My wife and I went here tonight Wednesday March 2nd, 2022. We walked in and went to the bar. Our waiter met us immediately and took our drink order. We waited only about 5 minutes and received our drinks (here is where it started to go bad). We said we only have an hour, and was assured that was not a problem. Then we needed more time to look over the menu, our waiter had forgot to leave straws, and disappeared for about 15 minutes. When he came back we placed our order ( flaunet, tamale, and grilled chorizo). Our server left and was not seen for another 20 minutes (well after we had finished our margaritas). I asked how much longer because we had to leave in 10 minutes, and he said the kitchen was really backed up. He comes back 15 minutes later with a burnt tamale, and we said no thank you, we have to leave. The server was clearly embarrassed, and quickly took my card to pay for our drinks. Will NEVER GO BACK!!! Also, he never offered to get manager, or comp our drinks for the horrific wait time, and lack of service. WILL NEVER GO BACK!!! Not worth anyone's time. Go to Zanesville, much better on service, wait time, and professionalism. Less
Visited this restaurant today. I was seated served chips and salsa. I sat for 15 to 20 minutes . Nothing . No server to offer me my drink or take my order. I approached the server who seated me and stated my complaint. He asked where I was sitting??? I left. The only reason for the one star rate is for the one person doing their job. The gentleman who served my chips.
Great staff, great food.
After several positive visits to the Zanesville location, I was excited to hear that Tlaquepaque was coming to the Newark/Heath area! Be prepared for a wait if you go on a weekend (to be expected for a new restaurant) but the food is worth it. I highly recommend the Pollo Hawaiano.
Great staff and food! Hot sauce that came with my tacos was so good. Will definitely become a family favorite!
Delicious food thanks for your nice service 5 start my favorite place
Wife& I ate there yesterday very nice atmosphere, food & service was excellent
Amazing food! Great service!
We were seated right away at 2pm on a Saturday. We liked the service which was very good and atmosphere was nice but the food was just so-so. I had chicken enchiladas which were OK but unremarkable. The hubby had chimichangas and we did like the crispy tortilla on that dish but otherwise, pretty bland meal. (Even the salsa for dipping chips in was not very spicy or flavorful.)

Awesome food
Incredibly friendly staff! Great prices! Delicious food! My best friend and I always go to our favorite Mexican restaurants for the Tacos De Carne Asada and I have to say - Tlaquepaque shot to the top of the list! Look at how huge the plate was! For $13! Simply amazing. The side of cilantro was a nice touch and the hot sauce wasn’t too hot to enjoy. 10/10 will dine again!
If the Heath restaurant is as good as Cambridge and Zanesville are, we will have another great choice for authentic Mexican dishes!!
Absolutely amazing! The staff were so nice, very quick service and very attentive. It's very clean, bright and welcoming. The food was hot and so delicious and very filling. I'd highly recommend it as well as return as many times as my husband will allow.
