Taco Tontos

So much food at a reasonable price! We stopped in for lunch and this place was great. It was pretty small and not a ton of tables, so we were glad to have gotten a seat. I loved that the burrito was pressed like a quesadilla. I also loved how quick the service was. I have no complaints and will definitely be back soon!

What’s not to love!.. just can be a little over crowded; wish they had to store fronts.

Saturday pulled pork is the best. The guacamole is also one of the best in Cleveland

Got the bacon cheeseburger burrito this past week… it was amazing! I’ve been here about 5 other times and it’s always been great. But this specialty burrito was just outstanding I had to post a 5 star review for them.
With all the E. coli at chipotle I’ll never go back. I’m now a taco tontos patron 4 lyf !!!

This place is a local eatery. Very small and love the style of the inside. We came on a Thursday evening and got seated pretty quickly.
We started with the chips, queso, and salsa. This was by far the best part of the meal. The chips are thicker and have a nice crunch to them. The queso was warm and just enough spice. The salsa was pretty decent as well. For our meals we ordered the burrito bowls. I had the sweet potato and black bean. To be honest it was a bit bland. However, luckily we also ordered the sauce sampler. I really liked some of the sauces! My favorite was the chipotle… Really smoky and a good amount of heat. That made my entrée much better. My hubs ordered the chicken burrito bowl. He felt that there was too much rice, but I didn’t taste it.
Overall this place wasn’t bad. I’d like to come back at a later date to try some of the tacos on the menu (rather than the burrito).

I want to go with a 3.5, but the food was too yummy to go with the 3… so I will round up. I love tacos of all kinds and there was nothing bad about this place, but taco-​style-​wise I just have some other preferences. The staff here is so friendly and pretty well attentive, awesome. The margaritas were super good. I had the habanero and loooooved the heat this cool, refreshing drink puts off. The tacos were so good. It’s fun to pick your own toppings. I just prefer 3 smaller tacos to 1 giant taco because they are easier to eat. My husband got the burrito and it was sealed up all nice from the grill, so I will probably get that next time. We also got the chip dip sampler. The queso was delicious, very creamy with a tiny bit of spice. The red salsa had a nice roasted flavor, but I like chunkier salsa. Everyone in my group liked the guacamole, but they do mix it with sour cream and I am more of a purist. The prices were very affordable. I will definitely be back.

Hands down my favorite taco in Cleveland. My opinion may be influenced because I went to Kent and was indoctrinated there. When I moved to Lakewood and they followed me, it seemed like a sign.
If you like good, fresh, no-​frills tacos, this is the place for you. No weird gimmicks, just fresh food. The double layer taco is delightful. Both the guac and cheese «glues» rock. Tostadas = A+. Margaritas = A+ Really, you can’t go wrong. They have two types of house made hot sauce on the table which are equally delicious. I think you can buy it too. Word to the wise, the tacos are bigger than you’d expect so order accordingly.
The only drawbacks are that it’s small so if they’re busy you might have a decent wait. There’s also only street parking, but there’s enough around the place so unless it’s freezing out, it’s no biggie. Plus, meter parking in Lakewood is free after 6pm and on weekends. These reasons may be why they have such a good take out business.
The staff is great and very nice even when busy. I’ve never had bad service. The prices are also reasonable which doesn’t hurt!

Casual lunch date. Service was very good! Loved the vegetable burrito options. Daily specials are innovative. Fresh…

Love Taco Tontos! Specials are always interesting and tacos are huge. Their spicy margarita is amazing

I was thoroughly disappointed with Taco Tonto’s. Everything tastes like it came from the neighborhood warehouse club, right down to the broken and broiler-​darkened stale chips.

This place is a joke Mexican restaurant yeah right the worst place I have ever eaten sour food is not good anyone who knows about cooking would tell you that if foods sour is because it’s not fresh or it out too long they need better cooks not happy

MMMMMM
Yummy guac. HUGE TOSTADAS. Very good margaritas.
It’s a little place with authentic food and the servers are tatted up, friendly, and readily available.
I like the atmosphere, the prices, and the food.
Definitely a go to spot for some cheap, but delicious tacos.

A favorite place! The best burritos you will ever have! Very fresh and made just how you want them. We have been customers for several years and we love it! We get our food to go most times. As very small place. Waitresses are super nice!

Sandi rocks
! Best Margaritas! The Tacos are amazing! Great ambiance fun place delicious food!!! Love love love! The staff is undeniably the best! Most importantly the food! So so delicious!

Too much lettuce. Don’t ask for sprouts, you’ll end up getting a sprout burrito. They used maybe a tablespoon of rice in the entire burrito. Not impressed. But maybe that’s just my high standards for Mexican food, being from California.

The tacos here are absolutely amazing but really small so you have to wait if they’re busy. The wait staff is pleasant & helpful, especially if you are with a group & need to make room. As I did say though it is small and usually pretty crowded so you’re almost sitting on top of one another. They did mess up the order a little but it was quickly fixed. I do have apprehensions on going back. The steak tacos were incredible though & definitely made up for the blunders. The drinks didn’t really have any flavor though & basically just tasted like straight up tequila which was disappointing.

I love Taco Tontos. The food is always very, very fresh. I have been going there for two years and have not had a problem. I eat there several times a week. To the people that are saying that the food is bland obviously you didn’t try any of there salsas which are all excellent. .The food is meant to be a medium for there salsas. For example the spicy cilantro is really excellent with the shrimp special on Friday.
They also have the best margaritas I have had anywhere and I go to Mexico a lot. Within three months of the opening I had to join a twelve step program. For a small place they also have a remarkable selection of craft beers. Unless they are extremely busy the waitresses and bartenders are very, very friendly. But there are times where you just have to press for efficiency so they won’t be chatting you up. This is small mom and pop operation and when it gets crowded it might take 15 minutes or so to get your food. But usually it is just 5 or ten minutes.
Please note that everyone I have talked to about it loves Taco Tontos.

Place is OK. The food is stuff I can make at home with stuff from La Plaza. Good, but nothin’ that stands out too much. Drinks were good but expensive. The servers are the biggest turn off. They are indifferent… like they could care less if they make money or not. One was doing her makeup behind the bar and the other dropped our money off without even and «thank you» or «you suck»…anything. Then she sat down next to us (5 minutes after her shift started) and chowed a burrito. In a place so small, with so few people in it, one would have to actually TRY to make customers ignored. Can’t say there are other options for Mexican in Flakewood… there are, but the servers are just as bad. Maybe if I put on one of them Nacho Libre masks and do a flying elbow drop off a table it will liven up the place a little…

I was really hoping for more. It’s a nice small environment with very little seating. The tacos were good but not“ohhh my god!” It was good I MIGHT come back.

If you don’t do very well in tiny, cramped dining rooms with a ridiculous amount of people and asshole screaming children all around you, then this is NOT the place to be. Tuesday night at 8pm and there is a party of 10 for a birthday party?! Oh, and only one server on the floor. I’m really not sure why servers in general put more focus on larger groups as opposed to smaller groups who have been waiting a while to even see a menu. That happened. In the middle of looking at a menu and figuring out what to do the server all of a sudden decides that the table needs to be wiped off? Great.
As stated before, it’s a pretty small dining room and gets pretty fucking loud. Especially when one table has 10 people having a dumb birthday party. I really get irrational and aggressive being in small spaces with loud noises and people bumping into you, so I had to move to the bar for some reprieve. No offense to the server.
We got the chips and queso. It wasn’t anything special. The more I ate it the more it reminded me of the Velveeta cheese queso with the peppers in it. Pretty sure that’s what it really is. The bartender was more attentive than our former server, who in the whole time of unbearably sitting at a tiny table only managed to get our drink orders.
We got the chicken burrito and the beef burrito. The lady didn’t like the need burrito at all and only ate half of it. The chicken burrito on the other hand… I don’t think I would even like it if I was black-​out drunk. The tortilla was crispy and good, but the inside was just a bland cheesy mess. I really don’t think cold lettuce of any kind should be fried and then baked enclosed in a burrito. That’s cooking 101. Gross.
Unimpressed with the quality of the food. Originated in Kent, its obviously geared for wasted drunk college kids who could eat dog shit off a tire with no problem. It was ridiculously busy that night as outlined, and other than the feeling of the server focusing on the bigger party who probably didn’t tip well anyway I can’t really hold her at fault for anything. She was really nice and obviously doing the best she could despite being the only one on the floor. The food is just bland and nothing special. Will definitely not be returning. Don’t even bother.
