Authentic taco experience. The shells tasted home-made fresh baked! Just like being in Mexico. The ladies are preparing everything there. Store is very clean with interesting items. The bakery looked amazing but I did not try. Breads and huge pastries of many different types.This place is like being in Mexico! (Having been to Mexico!)

We recently stopped for a quick dinner on a Friday evening and the place was packed! We only had to wait 15 min which isn't bad. Wait staff was quick and efficient. Dinner was very good too.

To be honest, I don't go here all that often, but that's mostly because I live on the other end of Lakewood. If I lived nearby, I imagine I'd go here often. What I like is their good beer selection and unique menu. It's tacos/burritos and that sort of food, but they have some unique options you can add, like sweet potato. I've been here a few times and have always left satisfied. I have also always found the service to be fine and not super fast but also not noticeably slow. The décor is also cool, and overall it's a unique experience and nice spot to have in Lakewood. I'm of the opinion that you can never have too many taco places!

i have always heard that Luchitas was a good Mexican restaurant in Cleveland but I have never been there until this past w/e. It's a small bar / restaurant. They take reservations and I can see that the place can fill quickly. However the night we were there we had no issue with seating. To start we ordered a pitcher of their Sangria. It was very good. Not overly sweet with a nice fruity flavor. The Chips and salsa were average nothing special. I ordered the Burro De Tabasco. A burrito filled with steak, white rice, black beans, cactus, potatoes, Chile chipolte, Chile ancho, salsa tomatilo. It was very good. I am not sure about the addition of potato. I don't think the added anything but they were not bad either. Just different. The rest of my party all enjoyed what they ate. Overall a cozy place for good Mexican food at a reasonable price.

We went to this restaurant because it was great for our whole family. We all were able to order what appealed to us and was really good. The chips and salsa provided as an appetizer were excellent. Very family oriented.

My husband and I were staying close by and our airbnb host recommended Momocho for happy hour. Unfortunately we weren't able to make it there during their happy hour but we did make it for some margaritas afterwards. Absolutely amazing! The place is small, but packs in a bunch of tables. Although we didn't eat there, the food smelled and looked delicious.

One of the toughest tables to get in Lakewood. We went on a Friday night and there were dozens of people waiting for a table! I always like the burritos that are already predetermined on their menu over the ones you make yourself... they seem a little bit bigger and I think always taste better... but you win either way.
