My wife and I recently made a trip to Mazatlán, México, and we had some of the best food we had ever had. Since that trip we've been looking for more of that authentic flavor that we found there. We will now look no further than Tasty Tacos. This place is legit as it gets. The food is amazing. On our visit I had the Camarones a la Diabla, which is shrimp cooked in a delicious, spicy red sauce - served with rice and piping hot tortillas. Absolutely delicious! Before our meal we ordered salsa, guacamole and tortilla chips. The chips were freshly made, crispy and hot. The guacamole was exactly like we had in Mexico. Everything was perfect! My wife had molcajete, and she couldn't stop raving about how flavorful it was. It came loaded with shrimp, beef, chicken, and chorizo. It also had loads of fresh vegetables. It was easily enough for two people to share. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, look no further than Tasty Tacos. It's easily the best Mexican food in Columbus. read more

Sorry but this place is gross. Fruit flies flying around the table, one got in my margarita. We ended up just getting our order to go as I didn't want more fruit flies in my food. As shown in the photo of menu and receipt, they also overcharged for the Enchilada Supreme Roja. It's $16.50 on the menu but rang up $17.50, which means it's wrong in their computer system. In reviewing the receipt again, also noticed they charged $1.93 "non-cash adjustment." WTF is that? No restaurant in the area charges that. No where did it say they charge extra for CC payments. Absolutely ridiculous. The beef in the beef enchilada was fatty. I had to spit out some of the beef in my first bite. I will say the street corn was good. The only highlight. The music was so loud we had to ask the waitress to turn it down, but even after turning it down, it was still uncomfortable. You can barely have a conversation. Not only that, but ads would play even louder than the music after every couple songs it seems. I've never been in a restaurant that played ads. Come on. The music itself was fine, but just way too loud to have any type of enjoyable atmosphere. The table we were at was worn with a hole in the table cloth or something. Just had a worn look to it. Will never come back here. Our visit basically ruined our Friday night. Will stick to the tried and true from now on -- Dos Hermanos at Easton. read more

For this excursion I am waiting on an appointment I expect to last a couple of course, so I wanted lunch first. Something light, so I am trying the Taco cabeza and my standard ceviche tostada. The proto below is of the chips and salsa. Now I understand why it's $6. It's HUGE!!! The salsa is superb, and just the right bite. read more

Tasty Tacos - Chips y salsa. HUGE - Mexican Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Very authentic food with layers of flavor. Service is top notch and the staff is very friendly.

I went to lunch at this restaurant on 5/2/25. The good news - the Street Corn was tasty and the salsa/chips was fresh. The bad news - The Texan Fajitas was NOT tasty. The steak was very tough - not edible, the beans and rice had no flavor at all. The chicken, shrimp and vegetables lacked seasoning. The service was mediocre and an extra charge is added if you pay by card. read more

Delicious! Everything was fresh and tasty! This relatively new establishment is a good find! I couldn't decide what I wanted, so I was lazy and ordered the nachos! Wow, what a plate! I ended up sharing with my husband and getting to try his torta as well. So delicious. Our daughter devoured her kids meal. Well, she gave us her beans. Lol Someone else at my table ordered a burrito which was large and looked great. read more

Yummy food, great prices and super nice staff! So glad to to have been introduced to this little place... definitely on my top 5 Mexican restaurants! read more

Happy to have found this place. I live in Los Angeles and visit this area once a year, I have gone here 3 times on my 4 day visit. Discovered it a year ago on my last visit and I will be back next year. Compliments to the chef, fajitas are delicious. Compliments to my server Monica she makes a real good margarita and is as sweet as can be. Cozy place with good food and great service! read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon. The service was slow, the food was bland and the margaritas were expensive. I ordered birria tacos and the consume was basically soup. It had onions, corn, garbanzo beans and other veggies. It wasn't bad.. but it was bland I got the Texas margarita (13.50). It was fairly strong and that's what's probably carrying the 2 stars. The margaritas start as $12. My sister ordered a daiquiri and it came out as a sparkling marg on the rocks...? My sister said the rice was bland as well. This was not my fav by a long shot. The chips and salsa were apparently $7? The lady asked if we wanted some as If they were free. My sister and I got our checks and there was a $3.50 charge on both after asking to split the chips when she asked. The ambiance was cool. A typical hole in the wall restaurant. Fairly clean! read more

Went here last week based off a neighbors review Our server was fabulous- super helpful. Food was outstanding - everything we ordered was top notch - When you walk in you feel like you walked into a pool hall - don't freak out- stay for the food - amazing. read more

I decided not to try this place based on the deceptive prices of some items shown on the menu vs. what is on the receipt! And what about the $1.93 non reversible cash charge?I am glad these things were pointed out by others! read more

Very delicious tacos and strong margaritas. The owner is nice and so is the customer service. i highly recommend this place.

Just discovered this restaurant. Friendly staff. Superb food. Great drinks. Try their Al pastor. 5 Star. read more

Tacos are amazing, my preferred choice of tacos on both 161 & Cleveland Ave! Definitely get an Auga Fresca, mad refreshing. The torreado Jalapeño is great if you want some fresh spice. Corn in a cup is super good, just don't forget it has dairy if your lactose intolerant like me lol. Emeralds & Jahara have been super attentive servers on my trips. Don't think about it just give them a try, for $3.50 a taco it's hard to be disappointed I prefer the Barbacoa & Asada tacos (chicken is good too, I just like others are better imo) with a Melon Augua Fresca Music isn't too loud, good vibes, clean tables. read more

This place was awesome! Great food! Great service! Great ambiance! Seriously the food was rich in flavor, well prepared, and well presented. The place was clean and well designed. Definitely coming back often! read more

Food was decent,nothing special. The server was fixing her hair while I was eating and proceeded to sneeze,wiping her nose on her arm. There was no hand washing after any of this. When my bill came, it was $3 more than what was on the menu. She said it was because they gave me extra meat. I didn't ask for anything different than what was on the menu. I told her,but agreed to pay. My final bill had an additional $2.20 for not using cash. Didn't see this posted anywhere either. My $13.50 burrito turned out to be $19.. No reason to try this again. read more

Im a very picky eater and when I say this place is clean, food is hot and tasty, overall it's a great experience every single time I step foot inside this establishment. The business is "new" but the customer service that they provided every single day is like no other. The detail to attention is amazing. The food is superb. Everything is reasonably priced. This is definitely a must try establishment. read more

We were getting our laundry done next door so we decided to have dinner at tasty tacos. I had a pollo and asada taco with a side of rice and it was all AMAZING. J had the carnitas quesadilla and that was super good too. Monique was our waitress and the service was great. Our food came out fast. Very reasonably priced for the food you get and that is a big deal these days. Definitely give it a try if you have the opportunity. read more

I have gotten the Nachos Supreme with a side of queso multiple times. It always tastes delicious but who knows what I will be charged. The first time it was about $13. Today it was $18.72. Why? The portion size hasn't changed. The young girls at the register have limitations with their English. Maybe that is part of the problem. Maybe they have raised their prices. Not sure because I didn't look at the menu since I knew what I wanted. Other people have told me they've had the same issue. Probably won't go back. read more

Honestly, the best tacos I've ever had. This place is very authentic and the service is incredible. Highly recommend giving this place a shot! read more

The food was fresh and delicious. The people were friendly and the environment was warm and inviting. Will definitely come back!!

The food is authentic and so flavorful! I began with chips and salsa, which is basic, but it was far from it. The chips were freshly made and the salsa was a perfect t mix of spice savory ingredients. I recommend the barria-quessadilla, Taco Tuesday, and the queso. It's also right next door to the local watering hole so it's a perfect cap to your night, or whatever time of day! read more

Great tacos for taco Tuesday. Great service. Owner introduced himself. I will come back again

Went with some coworkers for lunch during Taco Tuesday. $2 tacos and the Al pastor tacos were fantastic. Our waitress was super attentive and the owner, Victor, came out to ask how our food was. Great service and food! read more

Usually I have the best meal ever here. Today I decided to get my usual nachos deluxe and they were poorly made . I usually check my order before I leave but this time I had faith because I've always had great experiences. I had a whole bunch of chips in my nachos and barely any toppings . I had a few nachos and the remainder I was just eating a lot of tortilla chips. Definitely not happy with this experience which is really rare. read more

We are from out of town so we let the reviews guide us to this place and we were not disappointed. The dining room was nice and clean and the food was great!

We would definitely eat here again. read more

We were in town for a meeting today and ordered ahead for lunch. When we got to Tasty Tacos, the staff was ready and quick to get our food out!. Even though we had a party of about 12, we had food fast, and it was great!! Personally, I had the Carnitas entree which was some of the best I've had. It came with a side of "house beans" which were WAYYY better than typical Mexican-style beans. I'd want to order a side of these any chance I get in the future. Great stop, great service, great staff, great food. read more
