2.5 stars for food Service was good 4stars Queso fundido was 4 stars cheese was nice and oozy and the chorizo had good flavor, also the flour tortillas were nice. 3 stars for Chips and salsa Music 5 stars We came here based on the reviews which did not match the experience. We had the enchilada rancheras which came with one bean, one beef, one cheese, one chicken and I can't remember what the other one was. The tortillas were dried and the flavor was not there. Also had an order of rice and beans they weee decent and hot. The only thing we enjoyed was the queso fundido. Would definitely not come back it was just not up to our liking. read more

2.5 I don't understand why there are so many positive reviews for this restaurant. Based on reviews, tried this spot on a Sunday evening when it wasn't busy in the restaurant, but noticed many carryout orders. The service was decent. Margarita was okay not great. The food disappointing. I had ordered a chicken burrito that was very salty. I therefore thought El Salto was a perfect name for this restaurant. Don't remember what my friend had but neither of us was impressed. Ambiance was okay but nothing cozy or impressive. I don't plan to return. read more

Quick service and a clean restaurant. We were bummed we had just missed happy hour. I had the birria tacos - they were superb. My counterparts had the nachos and the kids beef taco. Both great. Fresh flavors & solid food. read more

Another Yelp! find... having lived on the West Coast for quite some time, my quest for authentic Mexican food has been fulfilled with what will now be my second go-to in the Toledo area. Small and unassuming, but the service is good, food was good, prices are very reasonable, and the Pico De Gallo is phenomenal! I will definitely be stopping in from time to time when I crave Mexican food. read more

First and likely last time coming here. Ambiance was ok, plenty of seating and wasn't overly busy when we were there. Service was incredible slow though with minimal checking on our table while waiting for our food (not complex order) which took over 25 minutes from the time we ordered until we got our food. Carnitas were $2 off which seemed like a good deal, but were dry and not shredded at all. Margaritas weren't a terrible flavor but were overall underwhelming. If given the choice, I'd recommend a plethora of other Mexican restaurants in the Toledo area before coming here. read more

Wonderful service and food! I was greeted at the door by two smiling employees which you never see these days. They were so friendly and pleasant and the smiles never left their faces throughout my visit. The food was perfection. I ordered the shrimp and tilapia combo with beans and rice. I also took some items to go. Perfectly seasoned with large portions. The ambiance is vibrant and authentic. Very lovely experience and read more

My Wife and I are fortunate enough to travel to the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, Mexico's Pacific Coast (Baja Peninsula) and much of Southern California. It's always puzzled me "why can't we ever find Authentic Mexican restaurants near Toledo"? Today, at El Salto on Monroe St. I was able to eat Authentic Mexican Food. I've had people recommend Mexican Restaurants to me before only to be disappointed by the restaurant and the pallet of the person who recommended it. My Wife and I were both very pleasantly surprised. To the question "why can't we ever find Authentic Mexican restaurants near Toledo"? The answer to this question is, you haven't gone to El Salto. We will definitely be back. read more

Food was decent. I got the birria. The sauce was oily and the tacos were pretty dry and bland even with the consume. They only had one other table so for the service we got it wasn't really good. She barely checked on us. Overall, not the worst place but I wouldn't eat here again like ever so many better options. read more

The food is always amazing and fast! The homemade salsa is perfect! Highly recommend the burritos and enchiladas!

Excellent food, killer margaritas, and terrific service. We've gone to the El Salto in Maumee for many, many years and are happy that this location is just as great! Our favorites are the alambre, el mocajate, pollo loco, chile rellenos, tacos, enchiladas, flautas, and guacamole. Their salsas are all fresh and packed with flavor. We always have their meat rice soup as an appetizer and eat it as a dip with their homemade tortilla chips. We highly recommend this wonderful restaurant. Great food, drinks, service, and prices! read more

First and last time ordering from here. The reviews were a bit deceiving. I was excited to try the food since it had 4 stars but I wouldn't recommend the food at all. There is nothing authentic about this place. Everything tasted bland and old. Makes sense since there was nobody dining in, everything was probably sitting all day. I hope I don't get sick. read more

My food was salty not exactly what I expected but the hard tacos are good and only a dollar on Tuesdays

Average maybe slightly below Mexican food. We got takeout from here and before I go any further I will State that I judge a Mexican restaurant off their ability to do fajitas. Wife and I got a fajitas dish: hers chicken, mine texanas. Everything was cooked appropriately and there was a good mix of meat/vegetables in both of ours. They were both however simply sauteed in oil. No flavors, no seasoning, just plain food. They came with standard sides that were slightly sub standard in flavor again due to lack of any type of seasoning. Overall, I finished mine because I was hungry but my wife threw most away. We also got a kid's burrito which my daughter hardly touched. I tried it, and wow, not good at all. Meat was almost powdery and the sauce just did not taste good. Inside atmosphere is standard, tv's everywhere all with soccer on, bright colors etc.... Server was nice, responsive, and got everything right. I'll stick with san Marco from here on out, I just wish I lived closer. read more

This family needs to teach classes on being restaurateurs! From the moment you walk in you get a feeling that this place will be great. Friendly and attentive staff brought warm chips and excellent salsa while we looked at the menu. Salsa was perfect. Not too hot but not wimpy either. The refritos were creamy and delicious. Chicken fajitas, enchiladas, tacos were all amazing too. (Authentic though so if you are looking for chain style taste you maybe disappointed.) We have been so disappointed with Mexican restaurants lately that we stopped going out for Mexican food. El Saltos has changed that and will be our new goto Mexican place. Kids eat free on Tuesdays! read more

This is by far the best and most authentic mexican food I have ever had in the midwest! So incredible! I had the quesabirria tacos and was blow away!! I will definitely be visiting more often and bringing everyone I know! (I couldn't even wait to take a picture I had to take a bite) Super fast, fresh and great service! read more

Really delicious. Salsa verde enchiladas were great Service was fast and the place is very clean. I definitely would return and recommend

Great food;I've never been let down. The staff is friendly, and the music is usually enjoyable.

This place is 50/50, but ultimately deserves 2 stars. Margs and cold drafts are great but that's where it ended for me. We ordered a dip for an appetizer, steak fajitas, and another dish. The waitress came back 15 mins later with our entrees only. Asked if we wanted chips, and we said yes, with the dip. You could instantly tell she forgot about putting the dip in. She decided to lie and said she would "check" on it. She walked right to the register and put it in, cane back and said the specific dip we ordered always takes longer. She acted like we were that stupid to believe it. That wasn't the worst. Got the steak fajitas and the plate was 95% onions and peppers. I could barely find the steak. The quality of the steak I could find was a very poor cut of meat. Toledo has too many Mexican restaurants to mess around with stuff like this. read more

El salto is the best Mexican in the area! If you are looking for great service, excellent authentic food, and awesome prices don't overlook this gem! read more

First visit to this new location was a WINNER! Comfortable atmosphere, casual and cozy. I ordered the Shrimp Fajitas that came with an abundance of shrimp cooked in a great almost smoky mix with grilled peppers, onions and tomatoes. The tortillas were amazing! I don't know if they are made there, but the definitely are not the typical flour tortilla. The fixings/toppings plate was FULL with a generous handful of chopped lettuce, tomato, Spanish Rice, refried beans, guacamole, and sour cream. Service was great, and my glass was never empty, which is a big plus in my book. Prices very reasonable, parking convenient, and rest room was clean! I totally recommend you visit this place! read more

This place was amazing. If you want real authentic Mexican, come here. They have things on the menu that I have never seen it heard of before. So very good read more

For Friday at 5 and the spur of the moment, stop so awful. Salsa and chips were good. Kids found something on the menu, wife got her hit of mexican food and I got something vegetarian. Kids gave it a 3, I call that a victory. The veg fajitas were better than most, with mushrooms galore, onions, bell peppers. Pretty and tasty. read more

Will never go back. Live right down the street, have eaten here multiple times. Sitting in their lot writing this right now cause I'm so mad. Ordered an order of salsa and chips and guacamole dip. I get one tiny bag of chips and a 3 oz of salsa! Get out to my car and realize that I need more chips so I go in and ask for extra and get charged $1.25. What a crock! Could've went to Aldi's and bought a whole bag. Should've grabbed my first charge slip that was still sitting there and crossed out my 20% tip that I left for the carry out. This place is a sham. Have good customer service skills and give your customer some extra freaking chips! read more

El Salto is one of the most authentic around. Excellent menu, prices for portions are a steal, and talk about service- It's practically on the table before i finish saying my order. The Margaritas are delicious and they dont skimp on the alcohol. If you sign up for texts you get 15% off the total bill coupons like every week. They are super friendly and just an all around good restaurant. I reccomend the burrito california and queso blanco for the chips. read more

TERRIBLE service! I have eaten here many times and the food is good but it is the worst service you will ever receive! On my most recent visit I ordered take out, went in at 7:45 to pick it up. I stood at the counter for 8 minutes without being helped or greeted! 3 different employees walked past me and not a single one said a word to me. I left at 7:53 then called and told the manager I would not be back to get my order. read more

Excellent food and service. I can recommend the Alambre, or something like that. It's delicious. ¡Buen provencho! read more

I stopped by and ordered three meals for takeouts. Service was fast, food was good, warm and fresh. The cheese sauce was real good. No problem and had a good talk with some of the staff (manager/2 waitresses while the food was prepared). I will stop again. read more

Love this place and they are very friendly! Food is very fresh and family oriented atmosphere to say the least. Drinks are awesome too. Thank you El Salto for your Sylvania, Ohio location :) read more

Hands down the best Mexican restaurant in the city. Their tacos are better than San Marcos!! Very authentic and great atmosphere! If you don't like this place then you don't know what you're talking about. read more

Came here with a friend for a late lunch. Had a soft chicken taco x2 with rice. The chicken taco was so delicious and had lots of flavor. I tend to find that a lot of chicken tacos are bland or dry but that wasn't the case here. The chips and salsa were equally excellent. Mildly spicy salsa and warm chips which is a bonus because a few restaurants I've been to have abysmal salsa which lets be honest is most people's favorite part of the meal. The only downfall was that the rice was a bit on the dry side. Overall I'd come here again. Side note: the door chime is horrendous sounding and it would be helpful to tell us to take our bills up to the counter for payment. :) read more

Always enjoy dining in, but recently we've been ordering takeout due to Covid. Excellent food and service.

Best fajitas in Toledo Worth the stop if you are on US23 Not a large chain Salsa was great! Excellent service read more

Don't pass this place by! When you bring friends and family, they will bestow the tile of "finder of the fabulous" upon you. Darn good food. Brother-in-law says there is never a wait. Menu looks like it will keep me coming back for more. They even made huevos rancheros from their lunch menu for my wife for dinner. When you are done with dinner pop over to the beer and liquor store in the same plaza. Best beer selection since Anderson's Market closed. read more

The typical mexican. But the food was good. The atmosphere tho, a bit depressing.

I gave it a 2 because the place was not that busy and we still were there for over an hour for our food. The service was terrible. We had small children and they were restless waiting. Never got an explanation on why so slow. Food would be rated higher but was so upset about service it didn't matter at that point read more

Listen and read this review. I read reviews here and on google and they were hit or miss. It's 7pm on a Monday and let me tell you, I had 3-4 waitresses come to my table setting drinks down, chips, salsa, and the queso dip I asked for literally within seconds. She brought out the most delicious burrito I've ever eaten (maybe I'm just very hungry but it was delicious). It was so darn tootin good that I ordered another. I've never eaten this much before. If these people are trying to fatten me up to later consume like that witch did to those kids in those kid stories, they did everything right and they will be eating WELL tonight (just like I just did). I'll make it simple, hungry? If yes, are you hungry for Mexican? If yes, go here. read more

This has been our favorite Mexican in Toledo for a long time. We used to have to go all the way out by the zoo for there amazing carnitas and tacos. They opened this location and now we are in at least once a week if not more. The staff is so sweet and able. The tacos dinner is another excellent choice. There menu is large however and I know there are many others we have yet to enjoy. It's so hard to break away from our favorites! I love that they have great green and red salsas. Both are important to me. Enjoy! read more

I have never written a review before even if I wasn't satisfied, however, I have never had such poor quality & service. The salsa is straight up watered down tomato paste, the hamburger meat tasted like dog food out of a can smells, the rice had no color or flavor,received wrong flavor of margarita and when the waitress finally came to our table she was rude and didn't care that our food & drinks were not what we ordered. I have never gotten up and left a restaurant in all my 40 plus years! Do not waste your time on this dirty so called restaurant! read more

The only thing good was our server. Food was bad, salsa tastes like ketchup. Not going back
