HuBe aware....chips and salsa do not include a free refill. The chips were good but nothing special. The salsa was FANTASTIC! Mild and thick with some veggie chunks and lots of flavor. Definitely mild. I'm a huge fan of Hibiscus water. I first had this in Guatemala and now order this anytime I find it. Their Hibiscus water lacked the pound of sugar most other Ohio restaurants use to sweeten the beverage. It was delicious! Hubs ordered the chicken quesadilla plate $10. The chicken was diced (cut very small) with onion and cheese. The meal was topped with lettuce and tomato. He'll add sour cream next time. His meal also included rice & beans. He ordered no arroz, mas refritos. (Lucky me). Cheese was sprinkled on the beans. The beans were slightly chunky and thick. Not creamy and smooth like other Mexican restaurants. Hubs was very happy with the chunky, thick beans. Add sour cream and his meal would have been perfect! I like quesoburria tacos. I'm trying to reduce my carb intake so I ordered the $13 plate with the fancy name in the photo. The beef was tender and well seasoned cooked in a chili sauce stopped with cilantro and onion. Tortilla were served on the side. Your choice of flour or corn. I intended to substitute a guacamole salad for the rice and beans but forgot. I tried the rice to be moist and flavorful. Then our waiter delivered ketchup and mustard bottles to our table explaining that the red bottle was hot and the green is mild. In reality the red bottle was liquid fire. Very runny and very hot. Not much flavor. The yellow bottle was Avacado sauce. Thick and creamy. It's Avacado blended with jalapeno. So there is a little kick but only after you've enjoyed the deliciousness! Avacado sauce is fantastic on grilled fish. Tonight I put a small amount in my rice. So good! We will 100% return! Our son has practice nearby. Service was fast and friendly. We were able to pop in, enjoy a great meal for a great price and get back in time to pick him up! Our 2 entrees and non alcoholic beverages came to $38 out the door including tax and tip. Fantastic price! read more

Taqueria Ay Caramba - Hibiscus water. No free refill - Mexican Near Me - Delaware, Ohio

Nice clean restaurant with a chill vibe! Wait staff were very polite and attentive. I ordered the Quesabirria tacos and requested a side of the dipping consommé . Taco tortilla was cooked to perfection and they were packed with an adequate amount of meat, cheese, cilantro, and onion. They brought out a huge amount of the consommé dipping broth plus charged me $2.50 for that. Personally, anytime someone orders Quesabirria tacos, I think it should automatically come with the dipping consommé rather than charge for a portion that is 10X the amount needed. I did appreciate that they served the consommé with a spoon as u love to open the taco and spoon the consommé inside of the taco before eating. Flavor was good and I didn't feel like the price for just one (or two in my case) was overpriced for the quality. I will certainly be back for these! The salsa they served with the chips does have a bit of a bite for house salsa so be aware of that! read more

Went thru the drive thru and ordered the beef taco salad. It was packed full of goodness! Lettuce was crisp and there was plenty of meat. Very quick and friendly service. read more

I felt like the restaurant was pretty clean. The service was prompt and friendly. It's always nice that they follow up at the end of the meal to make sure everything went well! The dinner prices were a little high but in general worth it. I ordered the fajitas with chicken, shrimp and beef and corn tortillas. It came with plenty of food! Good seasonings and fresh tastiness. The flan was for dessert and it was excellent! read more

Decided to try this place again for lunch. We had Birria tacos, as well as as the Birria plate. Both were done well and I even added on some street tacos that were good as well. For the price of the Quesabirria platter, I felt like they should've given us three Quesabirria tacos instead of only two but they were good. read more

I've been there once. Great atmosphere for a repurposed fish and chips. Very friendly staff. Cons - beef fajitas, although well seasoned, contained too much gristle that was too difficult to chew. It's a shame because it tasted so good. I may be wrong but I may have had to pay for the chips and salsa. I may go back but would probably skip the steak fajitas. read more

Loved the service, the food and the ambience of Taqueria Ay Caramba! Really good tacos! I will be back!

My husband and I enjoy this restaurant, but we've had some frustrations. Their prices seem to change weekly, and with a slight language barrier (my husband speaks a little Spanish), it's never quite clear why. The tacos are $2 after 8pm on Saturday and Sunday, but last Saturday they were $3. When we inquired why, the cashier just shrugged. This was the second instance of different pricing with really no explanations. It kind of seems the price changes depending on which cashier you get. You also do not get salsa and chips with your carryout order and if you dine inside, they do charge for salsa/chips. Our last carryout order we got a slice of tiramisu. It was $8 and the absolute tiniest piece of dessert I've ever had. It also had a faint taste of onions - I assume it was stored in the fridge next to some onions. I took a few bites and threw the rest out. I've also had two instances of small pieces of bone in my chicken tacos. The last time it happened (the second time) I thought I chipped a piece of my tooth off. I luckily didn't, but it was so painful! All in all, their food is good, but because of the continuous issues we've had, I just don't think we will be back. read more

I've been to this restaurant probably around 6 times now, and the only problem i've had every time here was with the service. They seat you quickly but they take a long time to get your order to you and they almost always screw up my order. If I ask for something on the side or for them to leave something out of the food they rarely actually do it, therefor if you are allergic to something I would not recommend going here! The food itself is good, theres a lot of options at this restaurant as well. read more

My recommendation get the tacos, I had 2 steak and 2 chicken, they are the real deal and the Cilantro sauce and the spicy sauce were on point! Customer Service was fantastic and the bathrooms were extremely clean. Great food, atmosphere was good, and price was reasonable!! read more

Taqueria Ay Caramba - side of rice - Mexican Near Me - Delaware, Ohio

We were helped by Ms Rosa and the other lovely staff that took fantastic care of us while we ate. Our food was out in 10 minutes (probably less) and it was DELICIOUS. Also really cute decor. We will be back - and it was a wonderful welcome to the area as we just moved and had not had any Mexican around here yet. Thanks so much! read more

Great selection. Food tastes good and always very good service. Will definitely go back!

We come here often. The food is excellent and the service is always good! It is very cute inside, don't let the LJS( iykyk) deter you. We will be back. read more

Food was good but restaurant doesn't seem to have air conditioning, hot and uncomfortable, couldn't wait to get out of there.

I really appreciate the flavor of a food refried bean & they have some of the best. Their tacos are also flavorful & full of meat. Although my mom thought the fish one was a little sparse. Their salsas are amazing & fresh. The chips tasted fresh too. Will definitely be coming back again!! read more

My first time coming. Food was fine although I did not get what I ordered. I wanted a chicken chimichangas and received a ground beef. My server was pretty much heads down and very hard to get her attention to even say anything. She was pleasant just not as attentive as one might like. The most place is nicely decorated inside. Overall OK, food was good although nothing that really grabbed me to bring me back. read more

Tried this place last night for the first time on my way home to Westerville after early voting. I did a search on yelp for Mexican. We lived in San Antonio for 3 1/2 years. And have been back in Cbus for seven years, and have still yet to find an awesome Mexican joint. So, I decided to try this one. So glad I did! We will definitely drive out of our way from Westerville to come here again. My husband who is a Mexican food snob, thinks this food is awesome. Outstanding authentic Mexican!! Yummo!! This is the best Mexican we've had in Cbus in a long while. And they have a Drive-Thru. A variety of sauces & salsas. We just had a little sampler to try out a couple things. We are usually skeptical of most Mexican restaurants because they turn out to be disappointing. This one was definitely a wonderful surprise. Totally worth the drive to Delaware. We tried the chicken quesadilla. There were a lot of ingredients, and a lot of flavor and so delicious. We had the queso, because my son is always wanting a real queso (which he didn't know authentic queso is white!). And this white queso was the best queso I've ever had since San Antonio queso. We tried three hard tacos of ground beef. My husband is the boring ground beef taco guy but he's very particular about his tacos and these were absolutely delicious. We also got the Crazy Fries! CRAZY GOOD! We are not fans of El Vaquero. We like Chile Verde! But this Taqueria Ay Caramba makes you say AY CARAMBA! Definitely worth a trip to Delaware! We WILL be returning from Westerville!! read more

Although we have a LOT of Mexican places around the area, this is a strong new contender! Their menu is classic but with all sorts of options. Very flavorful meat (we had steak and Al pastor), and the beans were fantastic! Great texture and flavor. Service was pretty good, though it was a slower weekday evening. Margs were presented well, but seemed like they maybe used a subpar mix for them. My wife enjoyed her flavored one more than my classic lime. read more

The food is really good! Service was friendly and establishment is clean. The only reason I took a star away is it is slightly pricey. We ordered queso and had to still pay for a refill of chips. Overall, great experience read more

Excellent service and excellent food! If you haven't been here you're missing out! We'll definitely be back! Thank you so much!

Okay: I am from the west coast. I haven't found any Mexican food here that comes anywhere near what I'm used to. This place? The food is fresh enough and tastes okay. I would rate just the food maybe 2-3 stars for very average Ohio "Mexican food". But the service is fast and friendly. The drinks are pretty good too. Nice enough place to go sit, have a Michelada, chips and salsa. I'll go just for that. Pleasant inside and clean. read more

The food here is very authentic. The margarita pitchers are full size and a great price. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The decor is really cool, yet still has a feel for Long John's on the outside. Hands down our favorite Mexican restaurant. read more

Every time I go to this restaurant I am not disappointed! Drive thru or dining in, I enjoy my meals! Great food!...two thumbs up!

They are my favorite authentic Mexican you can get fast food wise in Delaware Ive tried a few things and enjoyed them all

Sub par food. They charge for chips and salsa with a meal. The steak has a spoiled taste.

They must have had a problem on the night we visited. It smelled like an electrical fire when we walked in. Unfortunately the beans tasted like that smell. We couldn't even eat them. The rest of the food had hints of the same taste. read more

Servers were attentive, margarita was delicious and food was amazing! Served our party of 8, with 2 kids - paid attention to the details and all of the staff was friendly! read more

I asked for a margarita with no salt. It came with heavy salt. I asked for a chicken burrito and got beef. Sent it back and did not ask for anything else. They gave me a $5 credit for a $10.99 meal which I only tasted. The margarita tasted like a bad mix. Will definitely not go back. This was at 4 pm, they were not busy so no excuse for the screw up. read more

We'd heard good things about this new restaurant, so we decided to check it out. The outside landscaping was nice. Inside was clean and it had very nicely crafted booths and tables. The decor was a mix of classy and what you'd see in typical Mexican restaurant. Plenty of seating. Large menu. We ordered tacos and enchiladas. Both were excellent! I'd say the best in town!! My husband asked for hot salsa and they brought what looked like ketchup and mustard bottles. They were actually bottles of smoky and hot salsa, to be mixed into the house salsa or added to your meal. Don't miss this if you dine in! Both were very good!! Staff were attentive and very nice. This restaurant also has a drive thru. Bonus! Highly recommend. read more

Amazing food, Tacos are always loaded with meat and onions. Great place to sit in and get dinner, and you can get pretty quick take out. Service is always great. Quickly became my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. read more

The food is very good and they have large portions and a good variety to choose from. The staff is great as well

I've gotten drive-thru here twice. The first time was Pollo Diabla, which comes with three tortillas. Lots of food and tasty. Second time I had the two enchilada meal. Just tonight I got the steak burrito mojado. All meals so far were better quality and more flavorful than Victor's. read more

I visited for lunch recently and haven't stopped thinking about the delicious meal that I had! I had the taco meal and chose a steak, chicken and carnitas taco. The meal was reasonably priced and all the tacos were tasty. The carnitas were my favorite and were so perfectly crispy. I was surprised by the refried beans that were clearly homemade and not soupy. I liked the chunks of beans that were in them. Customer service was great and I can't wait to go back! read more

They are still working out some kinks so I'm trying to be patient with them. I have been three times since they opened. I have received the wrong order once, a dish I didn't quite enjoy once, and now they have started charging extra for extra chips and salsa when dining in. The food is reasonably priced, but charging more for chips and salsa is nickel and diming, and it makes me not want to come back. read more

Great food & super fast service. They don't have a bar but serve alcohol & have several TVs to watch sporting events on.

Food is not great or even good Mexican food. As a clasically trained Chef who has spent many years running fine dining restaurants in Phoenix and So-Cal I have to say it's very disappointing. The proteins for their tacos are literally like put in a food processor or blender and chopped into tiny pieces. If I wanted that texture to my tacos I would visit a nursing home. sauces are so hot you can't even taste the meats, maybe that's a good thing. just because your Mexican doesn't mean you know how to cook, even your own cuisine. I'm Italian/Irish and can make much better Mexican food than then this place. read more

A Great meal at a reasonable price. I had the spicy shrimp "Diablo and my girlfriend had the chicken. By far the best Mexican meal I've had in a long time. Some unique food not found at other Mexican Restaurants. Several item I want to go back to try The waiter we above and beyond read more

First time eating here and it was AMAZING! We got the Birria and it was easily the best I've ever had! I love that they have a drive thru and the staff were all so nice. We will definitely be making this our regular Mexican place. read more
