It's not a big place and kind of hidden. it's worth finding it. There are other mexican restaurants with bigger venues or more entertaining servers. This is a place you just go for authentic food. It is a chain, so you might pay a little more than some places, but it's well worth it. I still don't know how to pronounce it. But hey, pass the hot sauce, let's go!

SEVEN WORDS: TRADITIONAL HOMESTYLE TEX-MEX / MEDIUM QUALITY / PHENOMENAL ATMOSPHERE…read more . It is Somewhat Hard to Give this Restaurant 3-Stars, but the Food Quality was Somewhat Inconsistent. I ordered the Carne Asada and my Wife Ordered the Shrimp Fajitas + and Extra Side of Spanish Rice. . We will start with her dish. She really liked the Shtimp Fajitas, and both Shrimp and Veggies were Fresh. The Spanish Rice was just a bonus to feed her Endless Appetite for Rice of Any Kind. Still, she puts the dish at a 4. I attribute that to her unfamiliarness with Tex-Mex...or even Mexicali food, other than more Modern Mexican-American tastes. . On the Other Hand, My Carne Asada was not just lackluster, but lacking Quality when it comes to the Beef. It featured approximately 4 ounces of Strip Steak - a decent serving of refried beans with the smallest drizzle of sour cream. . On great note, however, were the Avocados. The Slices were thick and xomplete; the fruit tasted as if it was straight off the tree. This, unfortunately, was where the quality ended. Im not saying bad by any stretch of the imagination - but I would stop at Del ataco...and most certainly Chipotle or any other good M3xican restaurant between Whitehall and apataskala before stopping here again. . Very Average Food, even at $37!39 for two Entrees, some shrimp protein, and two soft drinks. . This place; however, has so much potential -- maybe Im being overly judgmentao...but I doubt it.

I stopped by El Asadero Bar and Mexican Grill for "Taco Tuesday" and was blown away! I tried the…read more"Mexican style" Al Pastor, Carne Asada, and Grilled Shrimp tacos on flour tortillas, and every single one was delicious. For $1.99 each on Tuesdays, the value is unbeatable. Free chips & salsa included. I paired them with their tasty Mexican rice, beans, and a refreshing lemonade--the whole meal was only $15.89 before tip. I filled up too much on the chips & salsa and took home two container of leftover. They have "Ladies Night" on all day Thursday. Big discounts on Cocktails, Margaritas, Domestic & Imported Beer & Imported Draft Beer. The decor is beautiful with bright, vibrant Mexican colors that make for a great atmosphere. To top it off, the customer service was fantastic. I was so impressed I left a 45% tip. Highly recommend!!! It's located @ 8050 E. Broad Street, Reynoldsburg OH, 43068. Phone (614) 626-0051.

Posted this same review to google…read more *Warning* to parents of very young children, specifically toddlers and infants. This place has EXTREMELY intense entertainment. We visited this restaurant for the first time on Sunday evening around 5:30 and had a most unpleasant experience. Not due to food- the food was great. Menu selection great, drink selection great. Little pricey, but okay. The initial atmospheric vibe, great. Unfortunately, we were completely unaware of a ritual apparently the restaurant performs periodically. About 15 minutes into of us being there, while we were eating, the lights went dark. After a couple minutes passed and we're wondering what's going on, music started blasting at an insanely loud volume.I love loud concerts and even I was wincing. And then some wild looking alien/robot guy on stilts comes out and starts dancing around. Our 5 year old son had a complete mental breakdown. He is a little sensitive to loud sounds and this scared the absolute daylights out of him. Understandably so, because like I said the volume was violently loud. Due to this alone, we won't be returning. Even without kids. I can't overstate how painfully loud the volume was, at least during this specific instance. It was one of the most uncomfortable dining experiences we've had. It lasted about 10 minutes. It's a real shame too because before the chaos, we were really enjoying ourselves and the restaurant. We were even going to overlook the fact that our waitress forgot to bring my wife's soda. We just wanted to leave after that for fear of it happening again. I hate to sound like a pansy or overly protective parent. It was clearly a "iykyk" thing. Everyone else in the restaurant loved it. Good for them and to each their own. If only someone had come around to the tables with young children and gave a small warning of "hey, it's about to get loud", that would've been great and very helpful. But nothing. Their website doesn't state anywhere that this is something that happens. There are videos of it, which is fine, but the videos do not convey the incredibly loud volume of the place when this action goes down. We won't be returning unfortunately. So fair warning to parents of toddler and infant children- bring soundproof headphones for your littles or prepare to step outside when it goes dark.

The guacamole was a little thin but has good taste. The cheese dip had been cut with too much milk. Fajita quesadilla was really good. I brought home my leftovers and added some spice and it went to excellent. The rice is probably the best you will have at any Mexican restaurant. It is so fluffy and moist. Our server was attentive and very pleasant. Just a heads up they do not start serving lunch until 12pm. We sat outside by the canal and loved it. We will definitely give it another try. Maybe the seasoning thing was just an off day or because they had just switched from breakfast to lunch.

We have never been disappointed with the service or food. We are always greated warmly and with a genuine smile. We appreciate how well we are treated and how our preferences are remembered wirhout us having to say a word. If your looking for real aurhentic Mexican food and genuine people who care, this is the place to go. Don't forget to ask for their homemade hot sauce to accompany any dish. You won't be disappointed.

We loved the Fiesta Del Rio on Polaris Parkway and were sad to see it close permanently last week…read more So, today, Cinco de Mayo, we decided to head out to Johnstown to the original Fiesta Del Rio and we found it to be as good as our old favorite on Polaris Parkway. The interior decor is very pleasant and bright. And while it is Mexican-themed, it is a more subdued interior than most Mexican restaurants. The service was EXCELLENT and the food was GREAT. It being Taco Tuesday, my wife had a selection of tacos and all were great. I went for my go-to, a burrito, and was not disappointed. The pulled pork in the burrito was exceptional. It was served with rice and a salsa like salad on the side -- it was great. This location is a bit of a drive compared to their former Polaris location but it was worth the drive.

Sometimes a little slow and can find yourself waiting for water at times. Ambiance/Atmosphere: the inside is very nice and although narrow doesn't feel crowded or stuffy. Lighting is dimly lit enough for a nice date night, but not at all to dark. Food: The pocho burrito was amazing the first time I had it, followed by the second and third time even. Just a delicious burrito with an amazing habanero cream sauce and packed full of all three meats. I'd genuinely argue from my memory that it was the best burrito I'd ever had. That being said, I'd highly recommend skipping to go. The last 2 times I had it which has been over a year because I simple could not return it was just that disgusting. I was disheartened to have wasted my weekly cheat meals on it not once, but twice in arrow of dining here. The shrimp was hard, bland as if nothing was in my mouth, but still disgustingly fishy. The habanero sauce was tasteless and the avacado most definitely was not fresh. The chicken, steak, and peppers along with the tortilla still tasted good, but it was almost impossible to enjoy it pushing past the disgusting shrimp. The enchiladas were ok, but definitely a waste of money and calories. Not at all special. It seems that now this place is doing a bit better and has back to back 4 and even 5 star reviews. I'm giving Pocho's a 3 regardless of how awful my last two experiences were due to the fact the Pocho burrito was truly that delicious the first few times I had it. I raved about it and went back 3 weeks in arrow and even told my friends about it who loved it all the same. I used to even get two dining in and all three times getting it to go. Maybe it was my fault for trusting to go orders to much, but the first time it was just as amazing as dining in. I may give it another try as I truly do miss that delicious burrito, but I've discovered much better Mexican and don't want to risk wasting my time. Only time will tell if I give this place another shot.
