I have to say, however, that their booths need replacing because the springs bulging up under the seat make it less than comfortable. I nevertheless had an extremely enjoyable lunch with my friend.

I definitely recommend that you check out this restaurant for its delicious food and reasonable prices!

Yet another five star review! Hooray for consistency!!…read more I have been transitioning out of the bedside nursing and into more of a marketing role for the past six months. I have now met four different people here for lunch or picked up breakfast tacos for meetings. Every time the food is stellar. And all four times no one had heard of this place. Why are people not screaming about Lowrider Café from the rooftops? The food, already said hands-down amazing. The service? Always spot on! The owners should be on the shortlist for Toledo philanthropic business owners. When you come in here, you can also purchase a meal for someone who's homeless. They employ people that others wouldn't, and honestly, I'm here for it! I love seeing a local business that gives back to its community. You want specialty coffee? They've got it. Do you want fresh salsa to rival any other salsa in Toledo? They've got that too. You want to buy some great locally handcrafted bags/clothing/unique gift items? They've got you covered. You want a chill spot with a great vibe that just radiates good karma? Come on into low Rider. Bring a couple extra box and buy a taco for someone else too. You'll feel great about the Boy Scout deed. It's a karmic double win- not only are you feeding a local business, but you're also feeding someone who couldn't otherwise afford to feed themselves. This is food that doesn't just feed your belly and feed your soul.

They use corn tortillas so you know they're legit and the meat just has so much flavor and tenderness. You don't even need any other toppings other than onions, cilantro, lime, and salsa.

https://www.facebook.com/BaldWhiteGuyReviews…read more One request: "Come get me and I want Mexican." Empty nesting is hard, guys. So naturally, we caved, loaded up ole red, and headed north. We did a quick search and landed on Cocina de Carlos in Perrysburg, Ohio. Now, let's be real, Mexican food has basically taken over America at this point. Honestly, I'm all for embracing our new cultural diversity... just as long as it keeps coming smothered in melted queso and backed by free-market capitalism. The place is decorated pretty much exactly like every other Mexican restaurant you've ever been to, and the menu is your typical Americanized festive lineup: tacos, fajita, enchiladas, burritos, oh and cheese sauce. But then something at the top of the menu caught my eye. One of "Carlos' Top 20" dishes: The Pineapple Don Charly. I'm not sure who Don Charly is, but you had me at Pineapple. It's half of a ripe pineapple, hollowed out and filled with mushrooms, onions, pineapple chunks, and baked with cheese on top. There are a few varieties, but I landed on the Mango-Bacon. Um, what? Yes please. It came loaded with 12 jumbo shrimp, bacon, and mango chorizo (and we all know how much I love chorizo) completely covered in cheese. It came with tortillas, rice, lettuce, sour cream, tomatoes, and beans (could have honestly done without the beans, but whatever). Look at this absolute beast of a meal. It was AMAZING. Not for a light eater, folks. I made several soft tacos out of it and left completely stuffed. But... here comes the drama. Out of all those beautiful shrimp, about 4 or 5 of them were NOT peeled. I'm sorry, but what kind of communist serves shrimp unpeeled?! Seriously, making me do manual labor for my seafood? Unbelievable. Despite the shrimp shell conspiracy, it looked great, tasted great, and made for an awesome picture. The half-pineapple is a huge flex for presentation, and I love pineapple. The prices weren't bad at all, either. You can see on the receipt in that this massive dish was only $22. For the sheer amount of food you get, I didn't think that was a bad price at all in today's economy. Overall, this place is pretty much like all the other Mexican spots, but I'm giving it a solid rating just for the killer presentation of my dish. ‍‍‍‍ 4 out of 5 Bald Heads (Peel ALL the shrimp and it would have been a 5 of 5). If you're ever up in Perrysburg, stop by and give this dish a try!

This restaurant is in a strip mall plaza off of the Anthony Wayne Trail. I was on my way downtown…read moreafter a meeting elsewhere and was looking for a place with parking to grab a quick solo lunch. At first glance, I wasn't sure if it was a takeout place or a restaurant, but I could see it was a dine-in restaurant upon entering. The ambiance is rather dark but with a pleasant atmosphere with colorful decor. I was surprised that there weren't more people there at prime lunch time. I was promptly seated and served with tortilla chips and salsa while I reviewed the menu. The chips were thicker than I prefer and the salsa was rather thin/watery for my taste. The flavor of the salsa, however, was good. I ordered the lunch "Special Burrito" with shredded chicken and guacamole salad. It was promptly served. I would have preferred an entree with beans and rice but my server informed me that the beans were fried in lard; I'm not a fan of lard and there were no other bean options. The chicken burrito was decent and the guacamole was fresh. The fresh guacamole was the best part. I added some of the watery salsa to give the dish more flavor, but it mixed with the watery bland creamy red sauce that was already part of the burrito. It wasn't bad aside from the watery texture but definitely nothing I would crave. It was a fairly quick lunch that cost approximately $7.50 (only water as a beverage) before tip. I might stop in again if in the area, but might also keep driving. I've posted a picture of my lunch below.

The reason I give the place 4 stars is because if you're gonna go, you wanna go later in the day when there's more people in the restaurant. When you go for lunch between 11-2, the restaurant is pretty dead. Unfortunately, when the restaurant is dead, the servers are dead as well. They are pretty slow in the beginning of the day but when more people show up later, they liven up and service gets much improved

Others sat down and ate right away. Odd. Chips and salsa were oily and rather tasteless. No refills on chips and salsa. Who does that?! Cheap owners. Food took 35 minutes and was frankly disgusting visually. Drenched in excessive oil. Cooked at too low of a temp. Clearly! Disgusting. The puff taco for $7.50 was a joke. Slightly puffy. No different than a taco half that price. No crunch, WAY too much oil again. No flavor. Tacos and enchiladas were also FAR too oily to enjoy. Again. Basically zero follow up service. I had to ask for a bill after waiting 15 minutes and was looked at like I was an idiot for doing so. This place was at best a dim flickering light of what it used to be. Not an enjoyable dinner or food.
