I visited on a Friday around 2pm for a late lunch. The Birria Taco... is absolutely delicious!! For me it was not crowded, however Ive seen it get quite busy in the evenings. Which is just a testament to how yummy it is. If your craving tacos..... this is a Must Go!
First time trying hola tacos I ordered the beef birria tacos.. the tacos were extremely greasy and had an abundance of meat inside. The highlight of my meal was drinking the guava flavored margarita.
Very good tacos, Barria is by far the best of the 4 we tried (chorizo, carne asada, cauliflower, Barria taco). A little overpriced and they dont have alchohol. 4 tacos, queso, and 2 bottles of water was $36.
Great food Great environment the queso was the best. And its byob 😁
Took my wife and 3 girls there today for Mothers Day. We had an amazing experience. The food was delicious, and Ola was so kind and patient. I really appreciated the attention they gave my family. Thank you again!
Its a big NO. The space is very small and the food very salty. When calling to pick up the order they did not answer, while I saw the girl from my car in hesitation with the other. When they finally answered they left me waiting on the phone while I listened to how they talked badly and even made fun of and said rude things about one of the clients present in the place. In the end I had to get out of the car to go pick up the food, when clearly on their page it says to call the place so they can bring the food to the car. High prices for the quantity. I dont think Ill go back to the place. I would not recommend this place at all.
Undoubtedly the worst tacos Ive ever eaten. I dont know what else to say. Im a vegan, so I ordered the cauliflower taco and the vegetarian Esquite taco without the cheese. The corn tortillas were rubbery, dry, and tasteless, and each taco was wrapped in two of them. The fillings were dry and tasteless too (the Esquite was a little better than the cauliflower - but not much). There was no salsa, sauce, nothing to give it any moisture or flavor. I was really surprised in a bad way. Honestly, the rice and bean tacos at Taco Bell are better.
If you havent tried this place yet, youre definitely missing out! Great food, great atmosphere, great music, and awesome service!!
Birria tacos were good and the birria ramen soup. Would not recommend the rice or beans. Taste very bland, like it came out of a box… It was a beautiful day to sit outside and eat. The patio is cozy.
High quality food & friendly service! I have been here quite a few times and have never been disappointed. Every dish is packed with flavor and is super fresh. I personally love the esquite (charred corn) appetizer. The coliflor (cauliflower) tacos are also quite a treat, even if youre not a vegetarian! They also have a cute outdoor seating area. Definitely worth trying a few different items off their menu!
Slow service. if i seen a waitress 2x it was alot. Went with a small group ( separate checks) and we were all charged gratuity (over $60) only 5 people. they claimed it was mandatory & automatically charged . me & my husband got 4 tacos ($5.25 each) (bland & tough) 2 drinks ($3 each) & cozumel sauce(water down) ($3) which ranged up to $30 & paid about $50 on a mandatory 20% gratuity i personally dont recommend nor will i returni highly recommend cozumel restaurant on 150th they provide great service, food, & dont purposely overcharge
The carne asada tacos and birria tacos were good. I wouldn’t recommend getting the rice and beans. They tasted like they were made out of a packet. And they charge $3 for rice and then $3 for beans. Some reason they also charged $3 for consome(soup) for the birria tacos. If your looking for some good street tacos I recommend driving up to la Mexicana in painsville
I am extremely disappointed by the customer service I received at Hola tacos today. I got to the location around 7:35 and there was a line of about 3 people in front of me, there was one girl taking orders. I patiently waited as she took all of their orders. When she was done with them she never even acknowledged the fact that I was standing there, and it was obvious I was waiting to be helped because after they placed their orders they exited to their cars. I continued to wait as this girl started handing out food and busying herself with other miscellaneous things. Another young lady asked me if I needed something and I said yes I need to place a order and she told me I had to wait for the original girl that I was already waiting for. Some more time goes by and she taking phone orders and cashing people out, never once greet me or anything. After three of them cashed out one customer and finally asked me did I need some help, I said yes I need to place a order, she proceeded to tell me it was a 45min to hour wait and I said that’s fine. She then WALKED AWAY. Never took the order, didn’t say okay give me a minute, nothing. So I stood there trying to figure out what really just happened. The phone rang and she answered, I’m still visible standing no more than 5 feet away from her. A white couple walks in and she immediately addresses them asking them were they there for pick up or dine in, she let them know the wait time, she even offered to call them when it was close to the time their food would be ready. Where was this customer service at for me? I had been in there for over 15-20 minutes and she act like I was invisible. After the couple declined and left I politely asked her why she addressed them before servicing me. They clearly were standing behind me in the line and you know you rudely walked away when I was talking to you earlier. She never apologized for her unprofessionalism. She proceeded to ask me well did I want to place a order because the wait was a hour and a half now. And I told her why did the time change for me when you told me it was 45 to one hour a little ago. She just looked at me and I told her don’t even worry about it because I was too outdone by how I was treated. I have gone to this location for YEARS, and I have a pretty nice size family and we spend a good amount of money there and I just can’t believe how horrific this was. It was as though I was invisible or something like she was purposely avoiding me. I was literally the only person standing by the cash register at one point in time and she went and did some other miscellaneous things like looking in the cooler. If you didn’t want to service me fine, say that. But I’ve done nothing to you, I’ve never even seen it interact with you prior to today. Don’t waste 25 minutes of my time when I’m trying to give your business money. I rave about this place and I just can’t believe how I was treated today. It was so poor, distasteful, unprofessional, and disrespectful. When I left today I promise I’ll never ever go back. That’s time waste, gas wasted, expectations let down. Just a sorry situation. Management needs to retrain her or place her where she isn’t with customers. I’m not saying this was a racial motivated situation but it sure looks like it. The white lady she took her order with no problem, two Mexican/ Hispanic men she serviced with no problem, they left she never addressed me, she cashed out other people, a white couple walks in and physically standing behind me as I’m standing by the cash register and your nice and attentive and address them immediately, but me the black woman in a fuchsia coat you just can’t seem to see. I’ll never be returning. Good day!
Food was decent, I have been to a different location which I liked. BUT! It would have been nice to know that at this location they don’t serve alcohol here before coming (should’ve read the reviews, bust since I have been to the other locations where they do I didn’t think I would need to question it.) The building literally says cerveza on the side of it, which is misleading. It also would have liked to know that getting a cup of refillable water (instead of wasteful bottles of water that I had to keep paying for) was out of the question. I’m sorry but that is ridiculous, if I’m at a sit down restaurant at least grant me free water… I get having a different concept at this location if that is what you are going for, just make it obvious to the consumer before they sit down.Also had to order the consume separate from the pizza just fyi, I didn’t pay attention when ordering.
Amazing. I dont say that for many places. But some of the best tacos Ive ever had. Enjoyed every bit.
There are a few very good vegetarian selections including tacos with cauliflower and another with corn and roasted peppers. We enjoyed every bite!
Enjoyed the chorizo queso. My Quesabirria was the best! Huge quesadilla with birria beef, stacked with cheese, cilantro, onions and seared in beef broth! 😋 Topped it all off with a Mexican Coca-Cola.
Presentation great!!! Service excellent!!! Food needs improvement to be closer to authentic, but does have great potential!! Nice place as well, but prices are steep!!
I tried al pastor tacos at la plaza and hola tacos last night and Hola won! Hola tacos the meat was more tender and has a little more flavor and the tortillas were like cooked to crisp up a little bit little bit more attention to detail on the presentation and the overall quality of food.Everything about the Holo Taco is very good the texture the seasoning the meat is tender onions and cilantro but the pineapple which is a traditional part of El Paso tacos just overpowered, it taste like a pineapple Taco. I am thinking I like the Hola taco and I would recommend it but I would order without the pineapple or maybe pineapple on the side. It was taste pineapple.
My experience is ALWAYS great when I come to Hola Tacos! The servers are friendly, the tacos are AMAZING and the atmosphere is chill.
Nice layback location. Service was very good and food was delicious. Very disappointed all came up to $47 plus tips. Wayyyy too pricey for a backyard/patio restaurant and small amount of food. First and last time.
My first time having Birria Tacos. These were the chicken option. Very good. Will be going back.
Best margaritas and birria tacos in Cleveland! The food itself is always delicious and the amazing staff make it the perfect experience if you are looking for authentic Mexican deliciousness. 10/10 🇲🇽🌮❤️
Great selection of tacos that remind me of when I’m out working in LA. Guacamole was also very good. This place was well worth it and will definitely be returning. Only concern is the price which is a little bit high but it’s about what you can expect for this quality of food.
Great food beautiful inside and out. Its a small establishment, but good service good food, and its definitely a warm comfort to the place. I loved it there. If its a Chilli night take a jacket
Mix and match taquitos, on the patio, in December, under the heaters! I tried a few tacos and the staff brought out some consomme to try or to dip in - which is apparently a thing. (A good thing) Tacos were meaty and delicious.A few extra sauces on the table to cool things off or spice things up.
Ordered take out and received a birria taco with - long piece of brown hair in it. Honestly go to cilantro taqueria, never had a bad experience and the food is much better
Poor service- food took forever, and there were barely any people there. Didn’t get silverwear/napkins, lackadaisical waitress- took forever to bring us our check. Didn’t love the tortillas- kind of tasteless tacos
Amazing birria style tacos. (But they are not goat) great service an array of Mexican beverages and cool dinning area and patio
Service was good, but the tacos were relatively flavorless, no beer or drinks, and only bottled water. It wasnt horrible, but it also isnt worth going to again.
The birria tacos we got here were AMAZING and so was the queso! Servers were incredibly kind too.
I dont even consider myself a person who likes Mexican food, and this is one of my favorite restaurants!
Omg first time trying ordered online and this is amazing ordered quesabirria it was a big portion and a side of queso this is the best queso I’ve ever had
I tried to place a order on the phone so i can go and pick it up and not have to wait in the restaurant while its being made I was told I had to pay over the phone with my card or come in and order I don’t think that’s really practical when someone just trying to grab food quickly and be out
Very good very fresh great service try the birria pizza very good but a bit pricey! Or I would have given it five stars very clean chill vibes nice location
Queso was amazing! This is authentic so make sure u know what ur getting
I gave 4stars only becauseThey forgot my chips for my queso dip other than that this food is absolutely delicious here we have the chicken tinga burrito👌🏿
Not ideal for a sit down dinner this location is outside and small but the food is really good and the the waiters are friendly
Hola was super tasty, but there are a few things they can improve. Food was yuuuuuuum!! That birria taco was drool inducing. The french dip of tacos...its worth the trip! My son said his al pastor tacos were the best he ever had, and we love our tacos.That being said, it would have been better for them to describe the drink situation, its all bottles out of the cooler. I hate buying bottled water. If Id known, I would have just brought my own reusable bottle. Service was super friendly, and they seemed very well staffed, but they are at a strange hybrid state of full service and order at the counter service that could be improved if they commit to one or the other. Overall, highly recommend, especially if you know what to expect!
Had the absolute best dinner for Mother’s Day!! Always order the consumé dip anything in it!!
The food was not seasoned and it was not good at all. The sauce for the barria taco was disgusting. When my cousin and I told the server the food was nasty all she said was Im sorry to hear that. If you like unseasoned food then you have the right place to eat at. If you want some really good Mexican food do not go here.
I have yet to dine “in,” but can still speak about the quality of food. Even for carry out that I didn’t eat for some time after I got home, the flavours of everything were fantastic. The staff was wonderful, and made great recommendations on which plates to order. It was a busy day for their patio (this being a few weeks ago), but my several item to-go order was still ready in less than 15 minutes.All around impressed and delighted. I can’t wait to visit Hola Tacos again!
The food was delicious. The service was not the best. Ladies forgetting the order, not knowing who ordered what and the air pods in the ears was a wrap. I get its 2021 but we still have go accommodate our customers. And organization & accuracy is #1 in the service industry. Ill get it again but just to go.
Good food, horrible customer service. Fisrt I called and they would not take a cash order over the phone. Then i got there, put in my order, and they didnt have change for any cash. So I had to go get change for the exact amount of the order. Only to come back get my food, and forgot all the etra condiments i paid, there were no napkins or plastic cutlery. So i had to come back a third time. Get it together.
Everything here is made fresh and fast. The guac tasted so fresh and I loved the peppers they put on top. The burrito was delicious, I love the smokey hot sauce they put on it, Id order it by the jar if I could! The Mexican ramen was a fun twist on ramen. It was a super hearty broth and the beef was really tender. The radishes and the grilled corn added a nice crunch.The patio itself is super cute, I love the bright yellow tables and chairs. And all the staff was really kind and friendly.
5 stars because the tacos are arguably the best Ive ever had and taste like authentic southern Cal, LA style street tacos.. flavors are incredibleBut definitely a little too pricey and the pricing doesnt seem consistent.. 4.5 for a birria taco yet 9 for guac? Doesnt add up..I would come here frequently if the pricing was slightly more reasonable!
Made a special trip to visit this place because we found it during our trip to NY. My daughter and I love this place. Prices are fair and the food is excellent. If you get a chance to visit, take it, you will not regret it!
Food was good, kinda on the salty side. But for my first time trying Birria Tacos, it was nice. I would have preferred to sit inside but this location had no indoor seating.
Delicious birria tacos and super nice waitress.
Amazing service and tacos! Wonderful authentic flavor. My new favorite taco place in CLE.
Very bad we ordered food from there and not even half of what we ordered was delivered. The food came very cold and soggy. This is the first time we ordered from them and is going to be the last.
My order was delicious! I will be back to try other offerings. Thanks for the friendly service
Very average actually. Service was very slow too as there were only two staff members taking care of everything from taking orders, serving, cleaning and handling checks.
So it may not be the greatest sit down dining place for the winter time but the service was great and the tacos... those Birria Tacos are the best damn tacos that Ive ever had in my life. I can tell whoever cooked the food is cooking it with their heart and soul. 10/10 will 100% come back.
Sitting outside was nice. But they don’t have any traditional stuff - no cactus, no grilled fish tacos. The chicken taco was very dry and the servers don’t even speak enough English to tell them to put the food in hard tacos
*Edit: I decided to give them one more chance and Im very glad that I did! The Birria Tacos are some of the crunchiest, juiciest, most flavorful tacos that Ive ever had. I went back a third time and they were still really good, but not as amazing. A well deserved change to 4 ⭐Hola Tacos Lakewood catches my eye every time I pass it. It looks like an old ice cream stand that was repurposed into a taco joint from the outside... Sounds funky, yeah? Im pretty sure Im not far off from that guess, after visiting the inside. But not my kinda funky.The ambiance is Cattle Stockade-Fenced American Parking Lot and the seating is Classic American Patio Dining Set. The patio umbrellas add a touch of sophistication. The school bus yellow dining sets do not.The menu is basic. Very basic. Dare I say, parking lot basic? Water is bottled and $3. Other drinks available from the Coke cooler include Coke, Sprite and Jarritos. There are a handful of different taco selections. Yup, thats 5. There are 3 appetizers to choose from.There is no bathroom. There is no bar.I didnt know adults consumed tacos without beer or margaritas? I also feel its a bit risky to serve greasy cheesy tacos with no place for patrons to relieve themselves, after ingesting said tacos. I was interested in the Birria tacos - But had no interest in tacos and water, or tacos and soda. So, we politely declined to order. They were very friendly and informed that they have a restaurant up the street - with bathrooms and a full bar.Its unfortunate that nothing about this place says Taqueria. I had hopes, based on outside appearance and the quality of other restaurants in the neighborhood. Maybe theyll get a bathroom and a bar, one day - Then, maybe Id say Ole, Hola! But, I dont think that Ill be stopping back to see if that is ever achieved.
A little pricey but great food and awesome service!!!
Excellent food - the birria is to die for. Always seem to have some issue with the service though, whether its waiting to be seated while the servers are standing around talking or waiting forever to have our order taken, and the fact that they dont have a bathroom yet makes me reluctant to eat here.
I liked the set up of this place with the picnic tables and casual setting. The salsa and chips are really good. You can tell the chips must be home made. The tacos themselves werent great. The only vegetarian option was cauliflower tacos and the cauliflower was under cooked and bland. There wasnt much flavor or sauce on the tacos. Overall I felt the menu was kind of limited and overpriced. I would probably stick to La Plaza next time.
You want something authentic and hits you in your soul, GOOD food? Go straight there! Right now! Stop reading this and go! This place is AMAZING!!!!! The girl that waited on us was totally sweet... The barria tacos were PACKED! And the meat was so tender and seasoned perfectly! The queso... Get it with corn and chorizo!! SOOOO GOOD!!!!
We ordered from doordash which was fine but holy smokes $5 per taco. Not clearly stated on the doordash menu with photos of three tacos on a plate like plated together as a meal. Kind of tricky marketing. The pulled beef was very flavorful and the steak was tough and grisly. The guacamole is sour and runny and light green. It was not worth $3 for a shot glass sized portion. I just expected better for a $5 a piece price and $3 for a literal shotglass of not real guac
Always a pleasant experience. My kids and I love the picnic tables. One of our favorite places to eat! The food & servers are fantastic!
The service was bad. It took a long time for my dad and I to get our Burritos. Waitress didnt give me more chips. Dont order the burritos here theyre hard as a rock and they give you plastic fork and knife that cant into the Burrito. This place is way too expensive. Hard to find parking.
They had a one hour carry out waiting line on a Saturday at 4pm. I ordered birria tacos and no where its mentioned that you dont get the consomme with it. They are charging $3 for the consomme in addition to $9 for two taco. Multiple calls and a long wait later my tacos arrive with overcooked meat and undercooked shell pretty much tastes like leather. Do not waste your time or money here.
If you take away the low reviews by cheap people who think a night out shouldnt cost more than $3.00, bad reviews by people who cry about waiting more than 5 minutes for AWESOME food, and low reviews by vegans who cry that a restaurant known for MEAT doesnt serve snowflake sandwiches or whatever vegans eat, then I believe Hola Tacos would be much closer to the actual rating they deserve.I prefer the atmosphere of the Lakewood location (the Willoughby location has just as good food, but its too fancy at the Willoughby restaurant for me.) My new favorite restaurant!
Best Tacos everrrr great atmosphere cute patio
Very good tacos!!! A good lunch spot for sure, And for all of the people complaining about how “you didn’t know people ate tacos without alcohol” , Barroco is owned by the same people and has almost the same menu with even more, AND has alcohol and indoor seating.
Rice and beans very bland. Steak street tacos almost every bite was fat gristle. Tasteless food. Will not be dinning again. Save your money. Best part. It took 45 minutes for 2 street tacos and tiny containers of rice and beans. Pathetic.
Ordered for the first time from here, take-out. I ordered the Esquite, Birria de res tacos and the quesabirria. BEST TACOS EVER!!! Our dinner was amazing. Definitely will come back. If I can give it 10 stars I would!
Food was good but double check receipts was overcharged 20.00 management says they will refund
The food was amazing the Guava Margarita amazing flavor. Patio is very quaint with great skylight views. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu. Prompt service and definitely a great start to girls night out. Xoxo
Food looked very professionally put together for just a little place. Big portions. Was kinda shocked when I ordered a Mexico coke thinking it was something cool, and was just handed a bottle of coke that was made in Mexico -and paid three dollars for it. Vegetarian food was limited which is surprising for a taco place, I was confused trying to decipher what was vegetarian on the menu. My husband eats meat and was thrilled with the menu although. No bathroom, was told to go down the street to a local bar to use one in the middle of my lunch. That was weird. They said they were expanding soon so tho, so I am sure there bathroom problem will get solved. My burrito had little flavor, was meatless and they used califlower instead of meat, which I thought was a cool idea but lacked vibrancy in flavor. Server was nice and efficient. Would like to go back maybe in summer or after expansion and give it another try.
The Birria and vegan tacos are very tasty
Probably the most delicious Tacos I have ever had. I would suggest them to add Horchata to the menu (since I heard people asking for it when I was there) other than that- delicious.
We went to Hola Tacos for the first time yesterday with 2 friends that have previously been here. I can’t remember our waitresses name, but she was training Jose. It was busy, but she was at our table checking on us all of the time. She was very friendly and attentive. Hola Tacos was following all of the guides for the coronavirus pandemic. The food was awesome and the patio is great. We can’t wait to come back.
Ordered on line, confirmation said 5:55PM pick up. Got to the Lakewood location to wait an additional hour and a half. The lady at the front register forgot what I was waiting for and asked me three times to repeat my order. While I was waiting outside in the cold weather for my food, the lady took additional orders and completed the transactions. I asked for a refund and the lady said she did not know how to refund me my money. I do not recommend this location, not sure if the other two locations have better service but Lakewood SUCKS!
This is by far my favorite place for Tacos in the Cleveland area. Everything is made fresh and is extremely tasty! If you’re like me and like things spice ask you will have to ask them to make it spicer for you. Overall I highly recommend a visit. Also they have a nice outdoor patio.
The food is really good. I grabbed a few plus different menu options to get a good feel for the food. The price is on the lower side so twenty dollars goes a long way. Great atmosphere and outside dinning.
I loved the Birria tacos with side if consume, I ordered the cauliflower ones too just in case I didnt like em. I didnt like the cauliflower ones but the birria were awesome. It was my first time trying them
Enjoy my food and service. No alcohol tho. No alcohol beverages tho.
This place is pricey for no reason cause they are so skimpy on the tacos 🤷🏼♀️ I’ve been here twice. The first time ALL of my food was literally cold and the birria ramen noodles weren’t even cooked. Second time I dined in and got the birria tacos with consome & it just tasted old and bland. They forgot to bring out our rice and beans with the tacos and servers didn’t even check on us until we finished our food so I just had them take it off the bill. Probably wouldn’t come here again. You want good tacos try La plaza, Luchitas, or Lindeys Lakewood.
My husband had been waiting to enjoy some Birria tacos since moving to Ohio just 2 months ago and he found this place. We drove 30mins to try these out- waited 45mins, even gave up our table for a larger party while we sipped on a Jarrito only for that table to get their food while we still had nothing. We paid for our soda and left. If you asked me they shouldve comped it for crying out loud...seriously disappointed.
The food was fresh and flavorful. I will be back!
I had the Birria Tacos 🌮 with the cosome and my taste buds were in heaven 😋 the dipping sauces are delicious ! Had the queso as an appetizer it was very good as well! A bit pricey per taco but for it to be made fresh and different sauces im all for it!! I will definitely be returning ☺
Had their Al Pastor and Birria and they were the best tacos I have ever had!! The queso with the corn was delicious as well! Definitely a new favorite spot to come to.
Cheap place, but lemme tell you these tacos are the best.
Had the chicken burrito. Huge & great flavors. Excellent atmosphere & very attentive service. Cant wait for summer for the large patio. For sure will be back soon. Keep up the good work!
Food was just okay. I was honestly expecting the food to have much better flavor. Probably won’t be back again. Staff were really friendly though.
Ive never posted a negative review. But i ordered from doordash this was the worst experience I have ever experience with a restaurant. I ordered 3 orders of birriacoas and got 1 order of it . And 2 soft taco orders . . They also only gave sauce to one of the orders, I honestly feel like this was the worst experience Ive had with a restaurant ever .do not ever go to this restaurant or try it especially through a app that you cant take the food back or see them make it in your face
I got two steak tacos to go and the steak just wasn’t good at all, every bite had way too much fat I couldn’t eat half the meat on the taco. Tortilla toppings and sauce were pretty decent.
11-04 Update...Disappointing experience at the Larchmere location. The employees were trying to close early, refusing to serve food during hours of operations.Came in at 8P on a weeknight— Hours online says they close at 9P.No greeting when coming in to set expectations or be sat. Asked an employee if it is self-seating, after waiting for five minutes. Female Employee closing on 11-04-2020 advised us that they were not serving anymore food.Called on the phone after leaving to see if we could place a take-out order. The same female answered, advised us they were now doing take-out orders. Why couldn’t she advise us that we could place a take-out order when we were in the restaurant? Easy enough to figure out— the staff wanted to close early, so they could leave more quickly. I can empathize with that sentiment, but quality service is the backbone of the food industry.Placed the order still, but the female employee not only got the order wrong, but hung up on us before we could clarify. Female employee did not advise us of the total— we called back, cancelled the order, and took our money over to Barrio.I avoid sketch customer service experiences like this— no point in wasting your money on employees who are refusing service so they can close up shop early.Edit: If the location ran out of food, why wouldn’t they just set that expectation? The location did not run out of food, as they were still willing to complete a carry out order over the phone.11-05 Update...Emailed the Owner, Juan Vergara, advising him that the Larchmere Hola Tacos did not run out of food on 11-04, since they were willing to complete an order for 9 tacos over the phone at roughly8:05P. Awaiting a response from Juan Vergara, the owner, but based on his lukewarm response below, I doubt he will respond.11-08 Update...After Juan Vergara, the Owner, lied to us below about his Larchmere location running out of food, he declined responding to my email response. Juan Vergara leads with poor customer service— this trickles down to his employees and will ultimately reflect in the quality of his food.
The tacos are delicious and I would say fairly priced but the beverages which are non-alcoholic are not. $3 Jarritos $2 for water. I will say that the complimentary sauces are by far an experience in themselves. The service was great though.
Most flavorful tacos I have eaten in my life. No other taco will ever come close. Tacos are packed with meat so you’ll be full with two. Stop reading and just go there.
Your guys tocos were bland as hell your guacamole had too much lime in it no salt,taco el pastor was bland the pork did not have enough sauce in it the salsa red and green tasted like vomit not spicy at all and who tf put salt in sour cream. I will not come back to that restaurant you guys should of put American style tacos just so you dont confused us hispanics for making that abomination you guys call tacos and would not pay 36 bucks ever again for your tacos.
1st time visitor, there was no wait to sit and the set up is nice outside. Food came pretty quick and was ok. Expected more flavor. Prices are a bit high but the portions are decent. Service was good.
Omg I love the Birrias tacos. Best ever. The sauce is so flavorful. The Carne Asada tacos r very delicious also. Highly recommend trying.
Amazing burritos! Had the carne asada and the meat was perfectly cooked. Highly recommend this for a different experience.Edit: The only thing i did not enjoy was the disposable silverware and if you ask for water, they service you a bottle of water and charge you $2 for it.
Overpriced. The only tacos worth ordering are the birria tacos but i wasnt impressed by them. The cosume was an added price and wasnt as flavorful as I would have liked. Got me going on working out my own birria taco recipe tho.
Limited menu options. I am someone who doesnt do spicy food. Will not be back. Did enjoy the server. She was nice and enjoy the experience. Bathroom is located in a house. Parking is limited is well.
Waited 15 minutes to get my drink ordered and that was after I walked to the window to ask if I had to order there. Thats when the waitress finaly came to take our drink order. Then another 15 minutes later noone came to take our food order however people walking in could place a Togo order even though I had been seated for 30minutes at this point. I decided to leave without ever being served. I DO NOT recommend to anyone
Omg I cant say enough word on how amazing their Mexican Ramen is its was so delicious my wife and me had one of the best meals of our lives here and I wanted the recipe so my wife could make it for me after and before work
I saw that picture of the tacos and the soup dip stuff, which is what I went for and it was so good I went two days in a row!! I friggin love this place!The patio is super cute, decked out with yellow tables and chairs with the cutest herb garden lining the patio. Its self-seat, and the tables have umbrellas for shade.Ok, so lets also talk about the fact that this place is BYOB!!! 😲 like seriously!!Also, please please please ask about the queso popsicle LOL.
Came from Toledo to give this place a shot and it was definitely worth it! Best tacos I’ve ever had, definitely pair it with the dipping sauce! The servers were also great! Don’t forget the mango popsicle!
Had their classic taco. So. Good. We just randomly stopped here after checking out a store down the street. Im glad we did. The queso is super good also
Such a cute place. Great service and atmosphere
The first time going to Hola, I ordered my food, waited, and then went home. Unfortunately, the order was completely wrong or I go someone elses order. No problem as mistakes happen. I let Hola Tacos know this via Instagram. They did replay and absolutely wowd me by offering a gift certificate. I gave them my email and waited. Unfortunately, Im still waiting for it. I wanted to give a second chance so I suggested them to a friend. She went and ordered and brought the food over. Unfortunately again, the food was wrong. The sales receipt was correct, but not the food. So after giving the place a second chance, I will unfortunately avoid it. 1 star for service and 4 for food quality.Ive updated my review to be 4 stars as Hola Tacos did send a gift card. I am quite appreciative of the effort and impressed with the concern on the matter. Thank you
Terrible experience 1st time trying, and last. Very tiny/skimpy tacos for $, a basket of nachos with one full chip rest was bottom of bag. Way over priced, 6 tacos, 2 bottled water total of 45.00 including tip. Do not recommend
Hola Tacos had me saying hola to flavor!! It was so good, we went again three days after our first visit. We had the chicken burrito, carnitas burrito, carnitas tacos, carne asada tacos, and guacamole. They were all delicious, and I especially loved the radishes in the guac (the hot salsa is also delicious). Wait time for a table and food can be rather long, but they make everything fresh and theres only a few cooks in the kitchen. I love that you can BYOB.My only negatives are that the chips are bland, the carne asada was a little dry, and you have to pay for water, which I think is ridiculous. I also wish they had a bench outside to sit on while you wait for a table.I will be going back, though.
BYOB but very very good food.
Went for their soft opening after following them closely on Instagram! The place is wonderful. The food was excellent and nothing like I’ve had before. Very flavorful. The staff was friendly and nice. I’m looking forward to the summer and the patio they have!
Ordered take out first time SO good
Great atmosphere and the food was delicious.
The birria tacos were very good!
Seems like a serious Mexican place. Authentic in every way. I would have enjoyed it more if my taste buds were more open to change. Thank you, I will be going back
Had a good experience with the birria pizza & quesabirria! beautiful seating area & puppy friendly! will come again when I visit Ohio (:
I can’t say enough good things about this little place! The food ! Amazing ! The servers were so fun & friendly , beautiful comfortable patio , music playing in the background ,, byob so we grabbed a couple margaritas from the bar next door :) I seriously Felt like I was back on vacation:). I live in the area and love we can walk there ..even if we didn’t. Worth a drive ! My new fav place !
Food was good, but it was really cold and a pretty long wait to order and eat. Definitely would go back, but for carryout instead of dining in at this rather small location.
Damn good! You need to go there! This was my first time going and I will be going back!
My husband ordered the carne asada tostadas and I had the alpastor tacos, these are by far the closest al pastor tacos I have tried to the ones we have had while traveling in Mexico, they were delicious! The combination of salsas are also to die for, highly recommend. They plan to open their indoor seating next year so we can not wait, this will be the next taco hot spot for sure. Keep up the good work!
Expensive. Sat on picnic tables, asked for glass of water and was given bottled water, got 7 small soft tacos, like 2-3 bites each. Total including tip was $43. Food was good, but way too expensive
Great authentic tacos! Definitely try out their sauces as well!They were doing a huge mural next to them so I would also check that out!Will definitely be back.
Wow - what can I say? The food was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and the vibe was perfect. Cant wait to go back. Once they get their liquor license and the weather warms up, this will be a staple for me.
My sister hyped this spot up so much! Hubby and I tried it and we were like Meh. We didnt die afterwards, but I cant stand having my mouth watering, go out if my way to get what I believe is gonna be the holy grail of comfort food to only be let down. Will we go again? Meh, maybe.
The food is very pricey and bland!!! Nothing impressive about this place . The owner was very rude when he responded to a review he didn’t like. I had a chewy taco and the plainest chicken quesadilla on earth. You only got 1 star because I couldn’t choose zero. Not one napkin in sight!!! You suck!
The staff is nice. About 10 tables outside- no inside eating Parking is difficult. Food needs SALT. I want to make it at home cuz I thunk I could do better. I wouldnt go back but the staff is very nice
First-timers! It was very good... cant wait to go back and try more menu items! Of the two Burritos we had, the beef was hands down the favorite!!!
Did a test run and got the carne asada and the birria taco and y’all I almost cried!! IT WAS SO GOOOOD!!!I’ve never had the birria taco, but I’m glad I waited for this place.
Small, well executed menu. Tacos were wonderful, the rice and beans were killer. Well worth going, especially for happy hour. No restrooms on site, just as a heads up.
Great atmosphere! The food is always great and plenty of it too. The staff is friendly and helpful. We always get our food to go, cant wait for summer to sit and eat on the patio.
The Beef in the quesadilla and taco was dry and stringy. Braised beef cooked correctly tastes 100% better. The queso chorizo was gross and curdled. Major disappointment.
If your looking for authentic food then this place is definitely is NOT it. The service was terrible. Nothing about the food was good and wasnt impressed at all. I was with a table of 5 and we all said the same thing. Noting good to say about this place. Go to Chipotle youll get off way better. Forcued ourselves to eat the food. Price of the amount of saltless food is absurd.
Excellent tacos and service was excellentLoved the array of tangy spices..keep up the great service ..no more fast food tacos for me...i highly recommend to all the public.thks mike and Theresa
Absolutely delicious. Been looking for a place to get birria tacos and they were so worth it. The queso dip was amazing aswell
Great food! large portions and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back!
Pretty darn good, authentic, tacos! Chicken a little dry but overall GREAT. HOSPITALITU AWESOME. ALL THEY NEED IS A BAR
Food was ok service was gud, amenities a bit lacking...Willoughby provides sour cream salsa & guac with ur order
It’s wonderful. I don’t leave reviews but it wouldn’t be right not to get my phone out and give it at least 5 stars. It was so good I am shook. I will drive the two hours and come back. Wish I could have ate more. I’ll be back.
Overall very disappointing. Was told 30-35 minutes and it ended up taking more than hour for our tacos. Expensive, meat was dry, no sauce, and the consomme was terrible (and cost extra). Skip this one.
Great food. Son enjoyed as much as S. Cal. Mexican restaurant we visited.
Delicious tacos! Currently BYOB. Chill at a picnic table and enjoy the vibes. Note, when you get water, its not a glass of water, its a $2 bottle of water.
Very friendly, fast service, great food
Ate here on friday, june 11th and became violently ill almost immediately after. i spent $30 here only to get food poisoning and when i emailed them about it i got no response. very disappointing
Didnt like them, first i order tacos al pastor and few minutes later they tell me they ran out of them, so i order the carne azada, they didnt have no flavor and no salt on tables, they had to give one one from the to go forcks and they dont even got a restroom.
Food was amazing. Brought our own beer and liquor as they don’t offer any.
Food was great. Authentic and flavorful. Loved the outdoor vibe. Staff is awesome.
It’s so good. The tacos are too die for. I am no longer going to other taco shops. It’ll be pointless.Blessings
It was me and my family’s first time visiting. The food was delicious and the service was great. I would definitely recommend this place and I will be visiting again very soon.
Fresh and flavorful tacos! The cauliflower taco is very tasty, and the pulled chicken taco is super filling on its own.
All I have to say is this food was wonderful everything about this restaurant was wonderful I pre-ordered my food and when I got there it was ready to go still hot the workers are very nice the food was delicious best food I have had since I moved to Cleveland
I thought it be like the larchemere location but this is more take out. Eating in youll be super cold. Food is good but either get take out or go to another l bc this one is cold and thats no alcohol
Not worth the money. There facebook advertising makes it seem like its amazing have to try it. Noooo! When its 50 dollars for 2 people to eat outside on the corner of a street I would really consider go somewhere else.
Great customer service to match the great food
Ordered the carne asada taquitos. Very bland and flavorless especially for the price. The Chile colorado burrito also lacked flavor as well.
Amazing food!!! Perfectly seasoned, cheesey, not too spicy at all. Absolutely delicious
This place SLAPS! This is authentic as it gets! This place is exactly how they do it in Mexico. Like it should be. For the culture. Never will I go to Chipotle again with this in walking distance of my apartment. Yall bout to get me fat yo.
Waited 45 minutes for 6 skimpy tacos for 38 bucks...got chips for dipping into salsa and all the chips were from the bottom of the bag...do not recommend
Absolutely delicious! We will definitely be eating here again, and again, and again! One of my new favorites!
Good food. Not consistent. Only been twice. First was amazing, second time was good but not the same.
This place has really good tacos and the esquite is amazing. If and when theses guys get a license to sell beer, theyll undoubtedly be one of the most popular places in town.
They dont have a public bathroom but I couldnt care less because of how good the food was. If its winter come dressed up if youre dinning in.
Cant believe I hadnt been here yet. Amazing. Maybe best tacos in Lakewood. Check it out.
Jordan was a great server but The tacos weren’t that great felt like the had been sitting for some time. Definitely not worth the drive we made here.
Small portions and expensive. Not to mention the tacos i ordered were plain other than the parsley and lime. Second chance i gave them. Never again.
Little pricey for street tacos guacamole is excellent not sure if its $8 excellent though and kinda sucks having to pay for every soft drink you get but the food is good
Everything on the menu looked amazing, loved my meal of califlower tostadas. the service was incredible and the server was so sweet and knowledgeable.
Que delicioso!!! Meaning how delicious!! Definitely recommend to anyone that is a taco lover or just in the mood for tacos!!
Cant really say the food was impressive. Tacos were okay but the food made me feel sick. Idk but Ill pass
Everything I have ever gotten from here is delicious
Best birria taco in Ohio
Amazing! Its an outdoor restaurant. Each taco is about $5 but its great quality so I feel its worth it.
Good is good, service is meh and price is far overpriced. 4.5p per taco. The the stars is turkey because of the price.
Today was my first time here. I ordered the chicken tinga tacos. They are so good. Ill definitely be a frequent customer.
This place is amazing. If its your first time there I recommend their Birria Tacos
Small but mighty, Hola Tacos packs a huge punch! Cool vibes, bold poppy design, delicious food. Solid all the way around
The service was wonderful loved the food me and my girl tried them for the first time today its our spot now
Best tacos I have had in a long time and 1st time there I will be back.
Great food. The taste is just as amazing as the presentation. Always fresh. Try it for yourself!
Really good tacos 🌮
Was not worth the 40 dollars didnt taste that great small tacos for almost 5 dollars a piece.
Very good food.Street style, on a patio.(Both, open & enclosed).Fun place.
Food was decent. Service sucks. Server was rude and lazy. Won’t be back.
Nice atmosphere...the staff is really nice. I had the birria tacos and they were delicious.
Good food but hate that if u order take outu need to pay over the phoneWhy can’t I pick it up and pay cash .. no bueno
Loved the ambience and the food. This is the closest to authentic Mexican food I have gotten so far here in Cleveland. Thank y’all
The food is delicious, ordered 3 tacos was fully load only ate one, very filling worth the money.
This place is amazing. The food and service is spectacular. I highly recommend the Birria Tacos and the Quesabirria
Dont ever get the pork taco its disgusting the chicken taco was ok the beef was delicious Queso it is nasty so was Avacodo sauce
Food was amazing. Every bite, every sauce, every tostada was fresh and delicious.
The food is absolutely excellent. I strongly recommend the pizza and consomme dip

2022-07-30This place was great. Everything was full of flavor and fresh. Our waiter which I had on a few occasions, I believe her name was Julianna(?), I’m sorry I can’t remember. She is wonderful. Always pleasant and attentive. The queso is really good and the birria pizza was a great first try.

2022-06-12I stopped here on a Friday for lunch. I was given the choice to seat myself. I sat on the patio under an umbrella. My server was quick, pleasent and knowledgeable. My food came out quickly and in a Togo container. I liked this idea because I was in a time squeeze.This is the quesabirria. It was flavorful and came with an au jus that made it even better. I ate it as left overs for 3 meals for $17. Not bad in my idea!

2022-08-13Wow. The quesabirria is insane. Little pricey but SO GOOD! get the little dips its worth it. Best avocado app Ive ever had. Again a little pricey, but this place is stunning. Ive eaten at Michelin star restaurants and this place thumps.

2022-05-13I stopped at Hola Tacos for a quick bite to eat. The service was a bit hap hazard but the server was nice enough. I ordered the Chicken Tinga Tacos and a Sprite. The tacos were on the smaller side and double rolled. After a bite, I noted that the chicken was tough, maybe not shredded properly, and kept getting stuck in my teeth. The tacos were OK taste wise but nothing out of the ordinary. Service was fast, however the server brought over napkins after I had consumed one taco. Also, i would have like the option to get a nice hot sauce.

2022-07-24The food was good, but not worth the price at all! Not a family friendly place at all. We only had 6 out of our 9 member family with us. They mark up the bill 20% automatically for parties of 6 or more. It will just be my husband and myself for now on. Needless to say if we ever decide to go back. Plus after looking over the receipt again, they had the nerve to charge us for an extra taco! Good food, but expect to be robbed!

2021-08-22Update ⬇️ above pic was from my first visit, not updated review...I took 2 family members out to eat this afternoon & picked up 8 Birria tacos & 3 dips and was SO disappointed. The 3 previous times Id been there the food was great. But today they had very little meat & barely any cheese, the tacos seemed not as dark in color or even crispy. I mean, like, at 11:30 am & at $45.00 youd think youd get a full taco. Theyre definitely worth the money when theyre made correctly.Also, the drastic change in taste & quanity in a short amount of time, tells me its questionable day to day on what youll actually get. I called and was told a manger would reach out and never heard from anyone. I was embarrassed that my family couldnt enjoy their meal. Maybe, it was a fluke or they were extremely busy, but not acceptable. Also a return phone call from management would have been appreciated. Dont get me wrong when properly made, they are delicious. Unfortunately, i will not be returning.

2022-07-27Gorgeous venue and friendly staff. The food was just not my favorite. We ordered 3 different entrees + an appetizer and they all kind of tasted the same. But a great stop if you like birria!
