Mexican Restaurants in Ohio – Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives

Mexican Restaurants in Ohio

When Guy Fieri’s red Camaro rolled into the Buckeye State, he uncovered a trio of Mexican gems that prove Ohio knows its way around south-of-the-border flavors. From 2010 to 2024, Triple D has spotlighted three outstanding Mexican restaurants spread across Ohio’s biggest cities—Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cleveland—and all three are still serving up the goods today.

These aren’t your average taco joints. With an impressive average rating of 4.6 stars, Ohio’s DDD-featured Mexican spots have earned serious street cred with locals and food pilgrims alike. Leading the pack is Wario’s Beef and Pork in Columbus, boasting a stellar 4.7-star rating, while Cleveland’s Momocho brings creative Mexican cuisine that’s earned it 4.6 stars. Down in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, Bakersfield OTR rounds out the list with 4.5 stars of whiskey-soaked, taco-fueled goodness.

Whether you’re craving innovative flavor combinations or classic preparations done right, Guy’s Ohio Mexican picks deliver the kind of bold, authentic tastes that earned them a ride to Flavortown.
