Battleground is an upscale Mexican restaurant that absolutely nails authentic flavor. The food,…read moredrinks, and atmosphere all come together perfectly. The cocktails are creative, balanced, and reasonably priced -- I had the hibiscus mezcal margarita, which had an incredible depth of flavor. For my main, I ordered the Cena de Tacos, which comes with your choice of two out of five sides. I went with a creamy corn bowl and a side of Mexican rice -- both rich, flavorful, and comforting. My wife ordered the shrimp bowl with rice, which was just as delicious. What really stands out here is the authenticity -- every bite tastes like it was crafted with care and respect for traditional Mexican cooking. The interior is classy and modern, yet relaxed enough to feel comfortable. I also love the thoughtful touch of their craft beers being named after social justice initiatives. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. Despite the restaurant being nearly full -- she was quick to serve. If you're looking for genuine Mexican flavors served in an elegant but welcoming setting, Battleground is a must-visit.

I'll premise this by saying I had very high hopes for this experience because we recently relocated…read morefrom Texas, and after reading the reviews, I thought we may have a restaurant that contended with the authentic Mexican and TexMex we got down there. But alas, I don't think we will return to The Battleground. The service was awkward. The hosts and our waiter were, for a lack of better words, socially awkward young men dressed like they just left school and may have tossed their backpacks behind the hostess stand. It was a weird contrast for the slightly upscale prices and interior they present. The waiter seemed nervous, which, in itself isn't a bad thing, but they awkwardly lingered when it wasn't necessary and was hard to get their attention when we needed our check and to pay the bill. The food and drinks were a mixed review. The Battleground margaritas were delicious. The chips and salsa were not great, we mostly got a basket of tortilla shards. My partner got three tacos--carne azada, al pastor, and fish. His big takeaway was, "they're not very hot (temperature) and they're kind of bland." Similarly, we got the margs "spicy," but my Texas palate said, "this is spicy?" It had a tajin rim, from what I can figure. ...Maybe we're not the normal Ohioan clientele. A bright note, the refried black beans and esquites were awesome and the esquites big enough to share. I ordered the Pescado Veracruz, the plating and sides were good but the mahi mahi was chewy and only slightly above room temperature. Like I said earlier, maybe I did myself a disservice by hoping to find my new favorite Mexican restaurant... but, I just don't see us going back for great margaritas and sides.

I highly recommend the Wet Burrito's which were amazing! When picking up the 4 meals, customer service was excellent, except for the three female waitresses who were seated at a booth near the door. Being my first time here I walked in and said I was here to pick up a take-out order. Instead of excellent customer service, and being greeted professionally and friendly the young lady just said, oh you need to go to the bar. I could see she wanted to get back to her seat at the booth to continue her conversation. Everyone else I encountered were customer focused, friendly, and pleasant to deal with.

We discovered Amigos a couple years ago, when seating was very limited, but they recently expanded and the decor is more inviting and authentic. We've tried a lot of things on this menu and have never been disappointed. Our food has always been fresh and plentiful, served with a smile. Two things I can ecstatically recommend: their house guacamole and their margaritas. Their hearty and bold guacamole is made fresh to order right at your table and it's become our favorite guacamole. We love their mango margaritas. We have found chunks of mango in ours, and make certain to always get the rims coated with tajin because they use tamarind to get the spice to stick to the rim--so tasty! This is a really enjoyable restaurant we always look forward to visiting!

The food was incredibly authentic - I tried the birria burrito, a menu item I've never come across before. It was phenomenal, the consommé was to die for. I was drinking it like soup; it was perfect. Washed down with a ice cold glass of draft Modelo, I couldn't ask for more. For dessert, a tres leches cake topped with Oreo crumbles. This fell short, as it seems it was prepared days ahead of time - lacked in freshness. Still good though, just not the best. Our server was super friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was like any authentic Mexican restaurant, nothing unexpected. Overall this place definitely satisfied the craving for some Mexican food, and I would definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area.

The restaurant is spacious and nicely decorated with just a bit enough funky touches without going overboard. Not a lot were there, so I was seated quickly in a booth. Chips, salsa and coleslaw quickly appeared on the table. The chips were ok, the salsa was very bland and one not even after adding hot sauce. The coleslaw was what you expect and adds a nice contrast to spicy food. Since I had a certificate for $30 I was planning on getting a lunch and an entree to go for the next day. I ordered the Lunch Chili Relleno and the Camarones a la Mama Goya. My server returned shortly to let me know that the Chili Relleno was not available; a real disappointment since this is one of my favorites and its a great way to judge a Mexican restaurant. After reviewing the menu I picked the #3 Vegetarian Combo. The combo came out looking very good mainly due to the colorful bean tostada, but I quickly realized that the combo was missing the bean burrito, after talking to my server they brought it out on a separate plate. The vegetarian combo of bean burrito, bean tostada and cheese enchilada was mediocre at best; the beans were very soupy without a lot of flavor, the burrito was very plain, just beans in a tortilla topped with cheese sauce, the enchilada had a decent sauce but not much cheese and the tostada at least had some lettuce, tomato and guacamole to add some interest. Overall not very interesting or exciting. I do give Coyote's credit in that they did a nice job of doing the to go order, everything was nicely packed separately, they included chips and salsa and a cup of the coleslaw. The Camarones a la Mama Goya are shrimp with zucchini, squash, onions and tomatoes well cooked and pretty tasty. The beans and rice were ok, the to go beans were actually thicker and worked well as part of the meal. The shrimp meal was pretty good and the portion was good enough to make two meals. I was looking forward to trying Coyote's, the lunch was disappointing and the to go shrimp was OK, overall the rating is about 2 1/2, just alright but nothing special. Of course you may have a much different experience. Not the type of place for you if you are looking for anything cutting edge or for big flavors.
