Cozumel Restaurante Mexicano

16512 Detroit Ave., Lakewood Western Suburbs

Mexican

Part of a small local chain, this former IHOP does the world a better service as a welcoming Mexican eatery. If the expansive menu isn't exactly loaded with surprise options, each plate unquestionably bursts with fresh flavor. Great house salsa and drink specials; vegetarian friendly.
El Carnicero

16918 Detroit Ave., Lakewood Western Suburbs

216-226-3415

Mexican, South of the Border

Eric Williams' new Lakewood cantina is not Momocho West, but it does share some DNA with that insanely popular Ohio City restaurant. Carnicero translates to "butcher," and the name is a pretty good indicator of what's to come. Slow-cooked meats like beef brisket, lamb, wild boar, duck and pork belly are transformed into savory toppings for tamales or fillings for roll-your-own tacos. The chips, salsa and guac here are just as good as that other spot, and so are the margaritas.
El Castillo Grande

2532 W. Erie Ave., Lorain Western OH

440-244-2335

Mexican

El Castillo Grande is the latest in a long list of restaurants to make a go of this quirky castle on the banks of Lake Erie. Order from the a la carte menu of tacos, burritos, enchiladas and taquitos, or from the more ambitious collection of house specialties. Items can be hit-or-miss at times, but for sheer value, this castle is king. Margaritas sold by the glass, jumbo, monster and pitcher.
El Jalapenos

1313 W. 117th St., Lakewood Western Suburbs

216-226-9765

Mexican

Comfy, cozy, and casual enough to take the kids, this tidy taqueria offers a large menu of freshly prepped Mexican and Tex-Mex standards, ranging from flautas, burritos, and homemade tamales to cheesecake and fried ice cream. Special menus for kids and non-carnivores make it a particularly appealing family destination.
El Rodeo

23135 Lorain Rd., N. Olmsted Western Suburbs

440-686-1250

Mexican

This pretty hacienda would look more at home on a Mexican hillside than on busy Lorain Road, but the big menu of housemade south-of-the-border fare will be familiar to most Northeast Ohioans. Among the notables, spicy serrano-spiked salsa is a standout, and quivering homemade flan, with a dulce de leche caress, is a delight.

This classy-looking Mexican eatery — complete with handsome bar and first-rate tequila selection — features well-organized lunch and dinner menus encompassing all the usual crowd-pleasers, including burritos, tacos, and fajitas. But in our book, the savory chicken in mole sauce steals the show.

Mexican homecooking can be made palatable to the American masses yearning to breathe fire. The enchiladas, burritos, mole, and hand-clapped tacos translate across the brick city, but each dining room reflects a different neighborhood.
