Calaveras Mexican Bar & Grill - Mexican Near Me - Youngstown, Ohio

Not sure what the deal is but pretty much every restaurant I drove by around the Hollywood Casino was dead except this one. I travel a LOT and eat out constantly and when you try a restaurant that has ZERO business at 7pm experience tells me it is going to be pile of disappointment. This appears to be the only non-fast food place that had more than a couple cars out front. In fact, they probably had 25-30 cars. Food was surprisingly good and the service was good in spite of the kitchen being slow on my food. Pet peeve in that they only have Diet Coke no Coke Zero. read more

Calaveras Mexican Bar & Grill - Mexican Near Me - Youngstown, Ohio

Saddest street tacos I've ever had. Just meat and a side of pico. No onions or cilantro like advertised. Was hard to call this Mexican food. Service was good. Young lady was nice and doing a great job. read more

Food was horrible!! Steak was dry! They had no type of authentic Mexican drinks. Food was just not great!

I typically don't write reviews but i was in today and i couldn't help but notice how one of the servers were acting very out of line to a young worker who seemed to be a hostess/busboy food was great but the interaction between the two caught everyone in the restaurants eyes the young man was sitting at the bar in the front looking like he was rolling some type of paper and the server came up to him and just grabbed it right out of his hands and just threw it into the stands then proceeded to scream at him with a resturant full of people the young man looked very uncomfortable after the fact hopefully this isn't a regular thing. before this happened he asked the young man to bring chips and salsa to a table and the young man did what was asked of him and the server came back and screamed at him to bring chips and salsa without even checking if he had already done it. read more

The food was amazing and the prices were affordable. Service was quick and friendly. Would definitely return.

Stopped here for dinner while on a road trip. They should charge more so don't be surprised by the low prices. Incredible value, delicious food. Free chips and salsa and I ordered 3 enchiladas and 2 chili rellenos a la carte thinking they would be tiny for the price. Either one could have been enough for a full meal and they were both delicious. read more

Started out a little shaky, went up to the door 11:16 and it was locked (opened up at 11), with two employees standing around.Service was mediocre at best just super slow. The enchiladas were absolutely amazing just wished the had a little more flavor. The queso was out of this world however the chips that were served with it tasted like three day old stale chips that had been left out. All in all not a terrible joint to eat, just have to work on better customer service, and bolder flavors. There's too many Mexican restaurants out there to be lacking in these two categories. read more

Calaveras Mexican Bar & Grill - Enchiladas Super Rancheras - Mexican Near Me - Youngstown, Ohio

What a great place! Walking distance to all the truck stops and hotels, and right across the street from a race track- type casino, Calaveras doesn't disappoint! Obviously I got the street tacos, and wow! They brought me 3 piping hot street tacos stuffed with steak- thats it. The onions, cilantro is on the side, with tomatoes, an added bonus. Also came with rice and beans, which was a first for me. All the street tacos ove gotten over the years, this was the first place that brought me sides! Margaritas are how I like them, strong. The staff interacts w the locals as if they were fond family members, something surprisingly heartwarming for this deep in a red state. A great place. I hope to come back! read more

Calaveras Mexican Bar & Grill - Street tacos with really pretty topping - Mexican Near Me - Youngstown, Ohio

We first hit this spot during the covid shut down as they had terrific family meal selections for $25. Three years alter and the deals are still in place. Call ahead ordering with drive-thru pick up makes it a fast and efficient experience. Customer service is always pleasant and courteous but sometimes there could be longer wait times that some may complain about. Not this guy. The deals are worth the wait times. 12-tacos, (6-chicken, 6-steak) still warm homemade tortilla chips, large queso and large salsa for $30. Would have been $25 however there is a $5 up-charge for steak. This fed the 5-of us (daughter will only eat the chips and queso). The tacos themselves are pretty damn good. Meats are seasoned just right. The only downfall is that they tend to get a tad soggy on the ride home but nothing that is worthy of a complaint. I'd say overall deserves four stars but they earn the 5th simply for the value. We will continue to order there and take advantage of this great deal. read more

We've eaten here many times, and I cannot rave enough. Juan takes his time in making sure everything tastes the same every time you come in. Consistency is one of my favorite parts. I cannot say enough how delicious the cabbage coleslaw is the best in the area. I rarely get the steak at Mexican restaurants, but the way they cook theirs, I've genuinely never had anything like it before. I make my steak tacos. It's by far my favorite dish. This leans more towards authentic Mexican as it's the closest I've had to the food when I was in Mexico. At times they can be a wait, especially on weekends but hands down in my top three in the area read more

Great food! Love the chips and salsa. Great service and no long wait. Nice Ambiance.

Tasteless. Salsa tasted like ketchup, chips were cold and unsalted. Guacamole was brown. The burritos were microwaved hard and chewy on the edges. Beans tasted like a can. Chicken in taco salad was cold. Queso wasn't fully melted there were chunks of cheese in it. Would not recommend. read more

SALT BOMB!! We ordered takeout based on reviews as we were traveling through. We were given a wrong entree and all the food was too salty to eat. When my husband went to pick up our order he sat at the bar and ordered a drink. The bar was in shambles on a Wednesday and they needed to wash a glass for him. Very disappointed. read more

The food was average and the service just okay. Ate there at 7pm on a Thursday night, and Not very crowded. I had three different people serve and wait on me, so I'm not sure any of them actually had or took responsibility. Meal was served fairly quick, but it took forever to get the check. Went to the register to pay and the girl standing there just looked at me and walked away to clean the table I was at. I guess she didn't have authority to take payments, but said nothing and notified nobody. Finally a guy took the payment. The chips were below average and had a burnt taste and almost no salt. There wasn't a salt shaker on the table either. The salsa was pretty bland, and more soupy than chunky. Others must have thought so too, because the Chahula hot sauce bottle on the table was nearly empty, except for a few drops left in the bottom. I got the fajita. It had plenty of steak, lots of onions and only a couple small strips of bell pepper. I like bell pepper, so that was very disappointing. The refried beans were good and plentiful. The Mexican restaurant about a mile to the road North is a much better choice in the times I've eaten there. read more

Hello again!!! It's the touring clown gourmand back after a pandemic hiatus. What a *%#£*€?! Year, hmm?! TMI ALERT: touring has ceased due to CV-19 but My mom passed and I'm on the road to help close out her home. So while overnighting in Youngstown Ohio I wanted Mexican. After choosing my spot I found this wonderful joint. Spacious venue built in an old store so roomy (read- well ventilated in covid times). Staff were lovely. Food was good! Authentic. Good ingredients. Pick de Gallo was AUTHENTIC! I'm always so happy to find good experience in strip malls- well done amigos! read more

I feel the price for the portions were right on! We can't wait to go back I had steak fajitas He had steak We had Margaritas that were out of this world!!!! The staff was friendly and efficient and I am so glad we found this great restaurant read more

Nothing special but pretty cheap. I guess it's ok for a quick lunch or dinner. Your average Mexican restaurant in the small town.

Attentive and polite service. Incredible margaritas. Most reasonably priced Mexican restaurant in the area. Servers are extremely aware and available just when needed, leaving us and our friends time enjoy the atmosphere, food, and drinks without distraction. Well done Calaveras and thank you. read more

This restaurant has a bar and ample dining area. The menu is pretty large, but the food is inconsistent. I would say 50% of the time it is decent, but the chicken is often tough and the dishes lack any interesting spice besides salt. The service is also inconsistent, often provided by moody teenagers. Much better choices for Mexican food in the Youngstown area. read more

I really wanted to give this place a good score because of the fast and friendly service. The chips came out with salsa (just ok) as well as what I think was a coleslaw with a kick (yum). I arrived on a Sunday night and couldn't get a margarita (?). I ordered chili Colorado which was described as sliced steak marinated in a spicy special sauce served over rice with a side guacamole salad. What I got was a standard plate with rice, retried beans, and the chili on the side. The sauce was a mole-like sauce that was unappetizingly sweet. It was a confused dish with flour tortillas on the side as well as the salad, so I was confused about how to eat it. To their credit, my waiter cut my bill in half. Throw in the loud partying in the back and TV and phone watching going on out front and I'm not impressed. read more

I was happy to hear the owner or server totally being understanding about wearing mask & social distancing inside. He was totally on board with not spreading COVID.Heard him mention the health department is just doing their job.Thanks for understanding, I trust that you get what we are up against & want to keep the doors open and customers safe. read more

The food was great and the service was excellent. Masks are required and the servers all wore masks. I was impressed that they are continuing the covid safely protocols. We will stop in again when we are in the area. read more

Food was tasty and fresh (and reasonably priced!), service was personal and quick. A pleasant local surprise and would recommend to anyone passing through that wants something other than the national chains in the area. read more

This is the former salsitas. All the food brought back the nostalgia of the former location. The food was excellent, and the service was top notch. I fully suggest visiting them if you want great quality Mexican cuisine. Maybe hit the casino and eat here after that....sounds like a plan lol read more

This is a very nice restaurant. When I ate here the food was great! The menu is just like Salsitas old menu. Some workers from Salsitas moved here. Also, the old owner of Salsitas is the owner moved here read more
