    Ohhhh, I really enjoyed my experience here. I came in alone and decided to sit at the bar. The servers were super friendly, the food was delicious, and the drink was strong. All great things! I ordered the three meat fajitas (I can't remember what the name is on the menu) with steak, chicken, and shrimp. It came out very fast and was absolutely perfect. Everything was perfectly flavored and the meal was a lot of food. For a cocktail, fajitas, and side of queso, I paid around $45 but ended up having enough leftovers for another meal. I really enjoyed the food here and am already looking forward to going back and trying some burritos or enchiladas.

    My family & I have been coming here for years. It's one of our favorites & I have never had any issue ever with any food or servers, always get our food very fast.

    I want to give a shout out to the amazing wait staff and cooks! Also to the couple that paid it forward! Thank you so much! It was very much appreciated. My friend was having a bad day so we ordered a pitcher of margaritas and some tacos to share. When it came time to pay the waitress told us the couple that had been sitting a few tables down from us paid for our tab! They made our night and restored faith in humanity! Thank you again!

    Stopped by Plaza Nueva with my family on our weekly restaurant visit. We were immediately seated and our drink orders were promptly taken. I requested a Modelo Negro. My wife always requests caso blanco, which goes good with nachos. For dinner, I ordered Pollo Azteca, which is a char broiled chicken breast, sautéed shrimp, green peppers, onions, mushrooms, and a special cream sauce. The food took longer than most Mexican restaurants to deliver, but there were six of us after all. My Pollo Azteca was excellent. I love dishes like these. It's like a burrito, but you get more of the good stuff and no tortilla. It is served with warm flour tortillas wrapped in foil, but I don't use them anymore. The food and service were very good.

    Drinks are always so good and the food is out of this world with so many choices and your plate is well full. The price is very affordable for the amount of food you good plus really good services! They also have some of the best French fries and Queso ever! Ambiance is great we always sit at the bar or a booth.

    Carnitas Dinner

    First time for a "fried" tamale. Was a bit reluctant but took the plunge. Yes, fried tamales are the bomb. Had pinto bean side which was very authentic and tasty. We came here on our quest to go to all 20 of the Top Mexican Restaurants in Cleveland. And yes, this belongs in the top 20.

    Steak Azteca, perfectly cooked steak and so delicious!

    Great service, great food, wonderful experience all the way around. And good music too boot.

    Wow, excellent food and service .This place is great I had a large burrito with chicken and shrimp. I also had a Mexican pizza with chicken, but I couldn't finish it. Decor more on the plain side ,clean establishment . The prices are nice as well ,everything reasonably priced . The quantity is great ,not skimpy on the portions. Check em out right in Biddulph plaza.

    Delicious guacamole. Made table side right in front of us! Food was very good. We ordered chicken fajitas, queso dip, guacamole and strong delicious margaritas. Would definitely return. Prices are fair.

    Your typical Mexican restaurant. The staff is what made our experience that much better. Our waitress was beyond genuine and interactive. She was personable and fun to be around. The food came out fresh and quick, which was all very typical. The margaritas are refreshing and the food was delicious. If you're in the mood for Mexican then I would suggest coming here.

    We came here a couple weeks ago for the first time with family. It was very spacious inside and decorated nicely. Someone greeted us right away. Once we ordered we never saw our server again till we asked for our check from someone else. The tables are too small. There were four of us and when our food came, we had no room for all the plates. There was a problem with my parents order and my order was delivered cold. My parents ordered chicken fajitas and got chicken, steak and shrimp on the plate that was not sizzling. It took awhile to get someone back to table to correct the situation. Doubtful we will come back.

The corn had good flavor and could be shareable, if need be. I cut mine easily off the cob to share. They came with a lime wedge to squeeze on. The tamale was typical, good flavor and consistency. For the mains I got the Chimichanga (plus is discounted on Friday's to under $10). You get two, one beef and one chicken. My preference was the chicken, I did not care for the beef one. It is a very small minced beef and had good flavor, I did not like the consistency feel of the tortilla/beef/sogginess from steam and cheese. Their rice is really well flavored! Second visit *pictured*- I ordered the ACP and was very surprised at how tender and flavorful the chicken was. Great portion size and served with tortillas. My husband got the la oaxaqueña, which was amazing! It was served like fajitas, arrived screaming hot and smoking. The flavor has a nice char and the meat was so tender. He definitely has found a new favorite! Served with another dish of rice and charro beans. The beans had a smooth base and chunky with beans, pork bacon, fat and almost like Vienna sausage cut up. They had a great smoky char taste and well seasoned. Two meals, one kid meal, 3 soda/tea drinks for $62 We are definitely impressed and look forward to coming back soon!

It was very busy and we were told there is a 30 minute wait. Not much else in the area so we hung out by the bar and got seated sooner than expected. The first floor is more casual with bar seating and high top tables. The second floor is more formal dining tables. You'll need to climb stairs (did not see an elevator). I was a bit skeptical if we'd have enough options as vegetarians, but was pleasantly surprised at how full we got from all the items we ordered! The guacamole trio, flautas, remolacha, salsa and chips, and drinks. We were there to celebrate a birthday and I asked staff (maybe a manager) if they do anything to celebrate. He mentioned they have a fried ice cream and can put a candle in it. I hadn't confirmed what dessert we planned to order, but before I knew it they came around with the fried ice cream and candle. So, we got to try that. Overall, good food.

Luckily, through the help of Yelp, I was able to find Las Dos Fronteras! I called them and asked if they do take out orders, and the gentleman on the phone said yes, and was more than willing to take my order! He gave me an estimated time that it would be done by and I showed up a little bit earlier, but my order was still ready! You can tell it's a little whole in the wall because it has a very odd parking lot, but luckily plenty of parking across the street as well! I was immediately greeted when I entered the restaurant and they knew right away that I was there for my pickup order! For two tamales and a side of rice it was under $10, but they have a rule that card transactions must be over $10, so I added on one of their various Mexican Sodas! From what I could tell the restaurant was well kept and had authentic Mexican restaurant vibes through their decor. It also didn't seem too busy! I took my food home and it was mouth watering delicious! I even tried saving half as leftovers for the next day, but they definitely turned into a midnight snack haha! I will definitely be coming back soon! So happy to finally find authentic Mexican cuisine in Cleveland!

    BEST FAST CASUAL MEXICAN IN A MILLION WAYS!!…read more If you are looking for a faster & more authentic Mexican place than chipotle/moes/qudobo/ etc... this is it!!!! This is some of the best fast casual mexican food in the Cle area - def still has some American influence (no tamales) but still definitely better than some of the others around Cle! They have birria tacos, bowls, burritos, tortas, quesadillas, etc!!! With more authentic options for topping! Sides: queso, esquites (the street corn), many salsas, guac, chips, etc. For drinks they have: Jamaica, horchata, Mexican Coke, jarritos, and alcoholic options!!! I come here way more often than I would like to admit but it never gets old! This time I got a burrito to split (bc trust me they are BIG) - and look at how gorgeous this thing is... I already miss it!!!! Staff are always smiling and wonderful! They can always help if you have a question! Lakewood location I believe is a little smaller but they have like 7-8 tables inside still and a beautiful patio outside for when the weather is nice!!!! DEFINITELY recommend this place!!!!!!

For my recent visit to their Lakewood location in June 2026, I ordered 1 steak taco and 1 shrimp taco. I got it to go and ate it in my car before going to the Lakewood library. Sadly, most of the contents of the shrimp taco had shifted and fallen off the tortilla while I was driving but I still enjoyed the taco. The shrimp and steak taco were good. I preferred the shrimp taco and I think I'll get 2 of those next time. The steak one was okay because the steak was tough to eat (slightly hard in texture) and not as juicy or tender. I enjoyed my taco toppings of corn, tomatoes, and cilantro. The mango habanero sauce was flavourful too but I didn't use too much of it. For some reason, I forgot that it would be spicy...LOL. I'll certainly be back. Prices are reasonable and their menu is extensive. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 131/250 total reviews in 2026 - 972 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 17 June 2026
