We stopped in for dinner tonight and I realized I've never actually written a review, even though we've been coming to El Orito Tacos since they first opened. This place truly never disappoints. Every visit the food is hot, fresh, and consistent -- which is something you don't always find. We've honestly never had a bad meal here. Tonight we ordered the Burrito Texas, which was incredible -- stuffed with steak, seasoned pork, and bacon, then topped with chorizo, melted cheese, and pineapple. It was served with rice, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream and was packed with flavor. We also had the Chicken & Steak Fajitas and two beef tacos with cheese, lettuce, and black beans. Everything came out hot and delicious. They were really busy tonight and our server, Paola, seemed newer, so the service wasn't quite as attentive as we've experienced on past visits. One small disappointment was the specials board when we walked in listed chicken and steak fajitas for $15. When the bill came, it was $19.99. When I asked about it, we were told the $15 price was for shrimp only, which was confusing based on what the board said. Overall, this is still one of our regular go-to spots because the food is consistently great. Hopefully the specials board gets clarified, but we'll definitely be back. read more

Stumbled on this place driving to a show, and wow I am so glad we stopped. Everything we got was the best! Absolutely loved the dip trio, guac, queso and a bean dip. I would go back just for that. Service was great and food was fantastic! I wish it wasn't so far or else this would be our go to mexican spot!! read more

I'm not a big Mexican food fan but they have really great strawberry daiquiris inside of a pineapple. Service is also always amazing.

So many choices on the menu and all the pictures looked great. For once, I was really confused on what to order. Ultimately I ordered Mexican tacos because the restaurant has tacos in the name. The food was really delicious and I will certainly return to this restaurant. read more

El Orito Tacos - Mexican Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Middleburg Heights, Ohio

So apparently they now go by the name El Orito Tacos, as you will see the T whited out from the menu. Asked the server what was up with that and he just said some legal BS. Not sure how 'Torito' can be trade marked, but oh well. He wasn't very willing to talk about it... Nonetheless, the food was very good and the service was prompt. Started with a pineapple marg that had a great presentation. Followed that with a Skinny marg that was delicious. Had the steak covered with cheese and a cheese enchilada. All was good. My only food disappointment was with the salsa. Though others at the table liked it a lot, as it was clearly made in house, I just thought it was a bit bland and could have been better. Chips were spot on. They TV that was in my line of site was not turned on, and the ones that were did not have the Indians game on, which I also found disappointing, but we were in and out pretty quick, so it really didn't matter. read more

Great experience at El Orito The lighting here is a bit dim which I prefer. I don't want to feel like I'm trapped in the fluorescent hell of Walmart and Target. The waitress was goth which is also to my liking, please hire more goths they are a vital part of our community Modelo Especial 16oz were on sale for $1.99 I ordered the Chorry Pollo which came with queso drenched chorizo/chicken, flour tortillas, pico and guac along with rice and beans. Very reasonably priced! Right over on Pearl road near the 71 exit read more

Stopped in for dinner on a weekday for five adults. Place was starting to get busy but we had a great table and several baskets of chips and salsa to start. We watched a soccer match on a big 60 inch screen. Five entrees, two of which were daily specials. Shrimp and Avocado, had nice flavors and plenty of shrimp. 2nd special was bacon wrapped shrimp on skewers sitting on a bed of onions and peppers. Again, plenty of shrimp. Some were a bit overcooked in order to broil the bacon, but still good. I had a pork carnitas dish w veg and rice. Lots of pulled pork. Torito Fajita had chicken, steak, bacon, chorizo, pineapple and poblano peppers with cheese. Carnitas Dinner - which was slow cooked Mexican style pork with grilled onions, rice, beans, guacamole salad and flour tortillas. And I think the last entree was Enchiladas Verde - 3 chicken with green tomatillo sauce, rice, lettuce, guac, tomato & sour cream. All dishes were hot, tasty and filling. We had plenty of leftovers and everyone enjoyed. Will definitely go again. read more

This place is very clean and has great ambience. Presentation of the food and drinks were appetizing. I had a steak torta. The meat was cut pretty thick, but it was tasty. It is on the pricier side , paid $90 for 3 adults and 1 child, no special drinks of any kind. Overall good experience. read more

Nice atmosphere, fair pricing, good service, and i'm in love with their homemade hot salsa

I loves their chips and salsa. The sangria margarita was excellent and strong. I ordered the lunch fajitas and it was delicious, except for the mushrooms but my mom liked those. My mom got the lunch Chimichanga. We both really loved that but it wasn't crispy like other places. The place is very narrow with booths along the wall then four tops and then a bar. It's not super wheelchair friendly but in off times manageable. read more

Absolutely fantastic! I flipped out for the barbacoa and al pastor tacos. The ingredients are fresh and flavorful and the meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender. Great service and great food at a good price point. Definitely recommend, would come back any time. read more

I used to frequent this location when it was Three Brothers (Italian and Greek cuisine). I was disappointed to see them go.....but not so much anymore. The wife and I have been fans and regular visitors of the same couple of Mexican places for many years. More often than not if we venture away from those places we're either disappointed, or just okay with the new place, and not compelled to return. I'll admit I've driven by several times and was turned off by "Tacos" in the name. I don't eat Taco Bell, don't really care for tacos (unless the wife is making hers), and was convinced this was some sort of gimmicky taco bar, being familiar with the layout of the restaurant. I was wrong. Way, way wrong. The menu is expansive by any Mexican restaurant's standards. I'm not even sure I saw a taco on the menu, now that I think about it! Food was excellent, drinks were great and comparably priced to other places in the area. Food may have been even a little less expensive than our regular place. Very cozy (okay, a bit tight), and they've done a nice job with the decor. The Latino musica playing from the speakers under the overhang as you approach from the parking lot was a nice touch. We will be back! read more

Awful. Rude unprofessional staff. Waited forever for my order and it was wrong. Never going back!

On our first visit to this newly opened restaurant, we were pleasantly surprised. For an unassuming exterior, the ambiance inside was very nice - clean, comfortable and inviting. My wife and I shared a house margarita pitcher - wow! Great flavor and they did not skimp on the good stuff. It was smooth and went down easy - no heartburn here. Onto the food - we both had fajitas. I had steak, chicken and shrimp combo fajitas which were perfect. Meat was juicy and quality and the onions, peppers and mushrooms were great. Homemade salsa with chips was tasty - just the right level of spice with a sweet finish. Rice was ok, not great. I didn't care for the refried beans - there was a different spice taste that I didn't recognize which I didn't like personally but it wasn't bad. Overall, for a new place they delivered on a great experience. We will return for sure. read more

El Orito Tacos - Inside - Mexican Near Me - Middleburg Heights, Ohio

Very spacious place with a large full bar. Friendly staff and I had good service my two visits. Food has been very good w large portions. The salsa is especially great, and comes before every meal(along w chips). I would like to see this place succeed as it's a great stop for a post workout lunch and beer, plus the area lacks variety. Only minor issue is the music is a little too loud, but I'm old and have to complain about something read more

Ate here for the first time for lunch. Excellent lunch choices. Ordered the chicken with cream dish and it was tasty. The meat was very tender. Liked how it was seasoned too. Sauce was good and I liked the rice that came with it. The lettuce, tomato & guacamole was very fresh. Can't comment on the refried beans as I didn't have room to finish my lunch. Portions are substantial here. Great prices too. Really enjoyed the salsa! The staff was friendly and helpful. Will eat here again. read more

A brand new Mexican spot just freshly opened in the former 3 Brothers Pizza location. The food menu is huge, diverse, and affordable. Had a chicken / shrimp fajita. This sizzling skillet of awesome arrived within 15 minutes of placing my order. My 3 friends and I downed 3 pitchers of the house Margarita with zero regrets. As it's within walking distance of my house, I plan on returning to sample other menu items. Service was fast, friendly, and professional even with a packed house. They also have a bar that runs the length of the restaurant. I highly recommend giving this new place your business. You will leave with a full stomach and possibly a strong buzz. read more

Excellent food, great service. I recommend this restaurant gem. My recent visitor from Texas claimed it was the best Mexican food he has had. I live in Berea so I go to El Orito Tacos. They had to adjust their name for legal reasons. Food is really great - and I have tried a number of Mexican restaurants in Arizona and Texas. This place is just great. read more

Absolutely loving it. Clean and comfortable, excellent food, great daily specials. Good service. Come on down!

Came here for lunch on a Sunday. It wasn't busy, which was great because we had a big party and no reservation. Enchiladas were great. I recommend the ground beef (which isn't my usual go-to, but they rocked!) Service was efficient and Friendly. Parking was easy. Music wasn't too loud, but added a fun vibe. read more

Fast and friendly service from Kimberly. The music was a little loud but you get used to it. read more
