My husband and I were looking for a New Mexican restaurant to try. This was a great choice. Service was good. The lime margaritas were delicious. (No yucky sweet & sour mix) The enchiladas Bandaras was a good sampling of chicken, ground and shredded beef and their delicious, fresh sauces. My husband really enjoyed the Hawaiian fajitas. We loved everything! read more

Party of four. We had good food and great service. There was quite a variety of selections. Fajitas were said to be good. My own chile rellenos, the cheese version used with a combination plate were good; there is also a stuffed chili relleno that I should've purchased. The combinations are pretty standard, and uninspiring, but the others liked their food. Chips and salsa were fine; we didn't try the booze. It's pretty good and will satisfy many appetites. read more

Awesome new lil Mexican joint... Dropped by for lunch while in town for work. Cool place, friendly and quick service, and really good Mexican at a fair/reasonable price ($12 for lunch)... That's tough to find anymore in the age of customer price gouging and corporate greed - Two thumbs up for La Base. read more

Slow service, small portions and half burnt food and on May 5th. 2pm and not that many customers! Waiter asked if food was ok then walked away without waiting for the answer. I guess it's good for a diet if you want to waste your money! read more

Everything was super fresh! Shrimp was cooked perfectly! The chips were also really fresh and tasty . Service was good and fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And the place is nice[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This place opened a couple years ago in a former Pizza Hut. The food is nice Mexican food like tacos, quesadillas, burritos, queso and chorizo with huevos. The chips and salsa are free. We usually drink diet Code or unsweetened iced tea. I don't know if they have a bar. We've met the owner, Sergio, several times and he's a doll. All the servers we've had are Mexican or Latin and English is definitely a second language, but we've had no trouble making ourselves understood. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is very casual with both tables and booths.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are Mexican art objects like Deos de las Muertas (Day of the Dead) pictures and little knick knacks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's busy at lunchtime because lots of people who work at the base eat there starting around 11:30.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We probably go there every two weeks or so. Worth the trip! read more

Fast and friendly service. Food was excellent. Lunch specials are amazing. Will return next time we're in town.

Went for dinner, they have a great menu, with a lot of foods not available at other Mexican restaurants in the area. My husband ordered the enchiladas banderas plate, which he said was pretty good. He didn't even offer me a bite, so I can't say if they were good or not. The shrimp enchiladas my friend ordered looked amazing. The topping looked great. I ordered the chili relleno. This is one of my favorite meals to order. There are not many places in the Dayton area that make them properly. Well, let me tell you, these were almost perfect. Comparable to those I ate while living in San Antonio! I was a little disappointed in their chips, but they weren't a deal breaker. Better chips would have resulted in a 5 star rating. Oh, we also got the queso dip. It's was great! read more

This is by far my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. Staff are friendly and know us by name. Sergio and the team do a great job and the service is always surprisingly quick. Food is phenomenal. I normally go with the grilled bowl from the lunch menu with steak. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Typical Mexican restaurant ambiance, they usually have some sort of sports playing on the TV at the bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Our go to spot!! Best food and service of a mexican restaurant in the Dayton area!! 1000/10!!

This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant. Staff is friendly, it's reasonably priced, the food is delicious and not a corporate chain with mediocre processed food. read more

Love this little restaurant! The waiters are always friendly and accommodating. The food is really good. I like the food better than El Toro. Prices are right and you can tell the ingredients are quality. They do have lunch specials if you're interested in saving some money. Probably one of my favorite things about La Base...each guest is given their own bowl for salsa. I love this! read more

The food here is really good and the service is super fast. Their carnitas are the best. I also like all of their fajitas I have tried. Margs are good too. Service is so quick you can treat it like fast food if you are in a hurry or take your time and have some Margs, chips and salsa. The best Mexican in the area. read more

I have ate here twice so far: once carry out and once dine in. The food has been great both times. They are quick to serve you and everything is fresh! Their Mexican rice is the best I've ever had at any Mexican restaurant- it is very flavorful. I have tried the chimichangas and enchiladas, both which were good. Their salsa is pretty tasty too! I will return to this business. My only recommendation is they invest in some sound absorption panels for the restaurant. I am glad they are a "full house" often, but it is way too loud to enjoy a nice conversation with someone. We both had to shout to be heard. read more

Went to La Base Mexican Restaurant today, on Broad in Fairborn in the old pizza hut. They opened in November. We were there at opening and they got busy, about half full at lunch. Mostly uniformed base customers, predictably. Service was great, no problems there. They were recently remodelled and it's very nice inside. We wanted to like it. We saw a lot of potential on the menu before we went. The table side quac comes in the big stone molchete, it's made fresh to order and it was great, truly, too much tomato, but great anyway. Past that we were disappointed. Everything was very unseasoned and blah. We ordered things we normally order to compare, and in every case left wanting. I asked the diff between red and green chilequiles, red was hotter, I ordered green because I love Verde sauce. Got the red, I said hold on if it is crazy spicy I'll need it re-done but took one bite of a chip and NO HEAT none. So I kept it, but it wasn't very flavorful either. It was incredibly wet as well, they didn't strain the chicken I think, as a result the chips inside turned to sloppy muck. (You can see the puddle of water in the plate.) The beans or rice were absent of the flavor were used to. You can tell they didn't use drippings or broth in them and only water. Just bleh. Not even salt. The Tamale and Chile Relleno likewise were very unseasoned. The tamale had a thinner canned enchilada-style red sauce (versus the thick intense drool worthy gravy-like molè we are used to), but even the masa on it's own was very... Plain. No seasoning at all. The Chile Relleno was massive, the chile itself was only like the middle third, the rest was the heavy breading and again, just not much to offer on flavor. Very dissapointed, we might go back some Sunday to try the street tacos, but I'm thinking we'll just ride out our Sunday Mexican cravings till our regular place is open. (Or take my parents there who are afraid of spices. The old lady next to us asked for white rice but was really happy with the Mexican rice, yeah... ) It's better than El Toro and El Rancho Grande, but that's not much of a brag. (We normally go to the most excellent Las Margaritas Mexican Bar and Grill on Airway, but they aren't open on Sundays and we went wtf let's try the new place down the road. Needless to say but we will still be going to Las Margaritas. Elsewhere was never a real option because they are incredible, and the food is fantastic, too. Everytime we try a new place we get reminded how great they are) read more

They earned the stars with their team work and quality of food. I was just sitting here so satisfied with my mea, kinda shocked me. Food was delish and there was so much food we brought some home. Bathroom very clean, establishment is also very clean, no sticky table or seats For sit down Mexican food in Fairborn, Springfield this place is worth the drive Thank you for a fabulous meal read more

The food is average. I can't remember what I had, so it's unremarkable. I was impressed that they made an old Pizza Hut not look like a Pizza Hut. It looks nice enough. The margaritas may have alcohol in them, but I won't swear to it. I would go back IF. I. COULD. HEAR. MYSELF. THINK. I put that in all caps because you have to either scream at the person across from you or just not talk until you leave. I have seen the comments about the volume in other reviews both here and on Facebook. Apparently, the La Base staff cares not one bit. Many people around here get all geeked up that there's "a new local business" and bend over backwards to support it. Most of them have no idea what's good anyway, so they think this is the bomb. It's not and even if it were, if you can't talk to the people you're with, why go out? read more

I have been here on several occasions, mostly it's just my husband and I but on 1 occasion we had a table with 9 of us, EVERY VISIT and I repeat every visit has been wonderful.I have had something different every time and it's been outstanding. Fantastic food STRONG frozen margaritas, attentive waters that know their menu. Today my husband and I had the tres amigos. It was a dinner for 2 but it really was enough food for 3! Prices are very good for the amount of food you get. I am so happy they gave come to Fairborn and I will continue to frequent this establishment. read more

Highly recommend! Absolutely fantastic! We recently moved to the area and tried La Base after an along day of moving.

Everyone loved it. read more

Great food and great drinks! I definitely recommend Happy Hour! Prices are reasonable too!

i always come here it's fast friendly always hot and fresh and good priced it's never a waste coming here

Worst margarita I have had. Went for the more expensive one and it was awful so went for the "lime" thinking it would be better. It was undrinkable. Someone needs to give them a recipe that uses real lime and not bottled lime juice. Chips were bland as was the salsa. Chicken bowl was decent but not something I would go back for see because everything else was unimpressive. I will say the service was good but didn't make up for the quality of the food. read more

Great service and delicious food! Staff was very friendly and attentive... I would highly recommend for a local spot!

Checked out La Base in Fairborn last weekend. Family friendly atmosphere! Started off with Queso Fundido & Table-side Guacamole! OMG, the guacamole was ridiculously good!! So fresh & enough to share! The queso fundido was also fresh and plentiful! The Texas Fajitas - beef, chicken & shrimp were delicious! Great mix of onions, green peppers, tomatoes & served sizzling hot! Also included rice & refried beans, guacamole, sour cream, pico & fresh tortillas. The Horchata was very tasty as well! Definitely will visit again! Can not get enough of their Table-side guacamole!! read more

Food was okay. I was hopeful based on the other reviews but frankly I've had better. Chori queso dip was very good and the best thing we found, but the chips weren't fresh and the rest of the meal was pretty bland. If someone really wanted to eat here it would be fine but it wouldn't be somewhere that I would pick. The place was reasonable clean and the staff was friendly. read more

Really good food, staff are friendly, service is great! Best Mexican food close to base.

Best food around! We eat here often. Always enjoy the Jalisco quesadilla! And service is always quick and polite.

First time ordering from this restaurant and the young girl running the cash register up front wasn't nice at all :( Wish the experience was different because I LOVE Mexican food and was honestly hoping this could place could've been a repeat lunch for me since I work on base. read more

This restaurant looked like it was in an old Pizza Hut, so the ambiance was nothing special, but OMG. The food was great. The portions were huge. The service was very attentive. Happy hour goes from 4-8pm. You could get a 32 oz domestic draft for $5.75 and an imported Mexican draft for $6.75. A huge margarita was less than $8. If you are visiting the Air Force Museum, I would recommend you stop off here for dinner. read more

Chips were stale. Prices outrageous. The portions were good full of bland food. I didn't go during any type of happy hour, wish I would have. It's so close I hope to give it another try but idk those chips... read more
