My friend and I went here for dinner the other day. I thought the drinks were excellent. We ordered some margaritas and the flavors were delicious!
The food was good as well. I ordered the Barbacoa which was really good. I’m not usually a fan of Brussels sprouts so I was shocked when I actually enjoyed the overall dish. I’d def recommend coming here!

Not typical. Service and multiple staff work together at tables with main waiter. Courteous, upbeat and professional. Food came reasonably quick. Best was the guacamole. Delicious! Chips were thin and sweet, white corn it seemed for a nice change. Food presentation was great, but not so much taste. I had a flautas and the brussel sprouts were all burnt, leaving that taste to over power the rest of the meal even though I stopped eating them. My sweetheart, Jim, said his food was well prepared but the cilantro was too much in his dish. Had carrots that were sauce smothered and delicious. A small bottle of house made hot sauce was provided. The product was hot and very good.

Very cool vibes! Stopped for a quick drink and app and can’t say enough good things. The food was great and margs really hit the spot!
I can’t wait to go back and order a full meal, I’ve heard great things about this place and look forward to my next visit!
Update: dinner was outstanding!! From the drinks to the apps to the main dishes, I cannot say enough good things about this place! They’re quickly become one if not my top pick for Mexican in the entire country!! The margarita sampler was a great value and the guacamole sampler was as well.
Cannot wait to go back next time I’m

Was pleasantly surprised by this place! Visited on a packed Saturday night. Started out with the margarita flight and queso. The margarita flavors were interesting and decent sized. The queso was delicious but not the best I’ve had in Cleveland. What really sealed the deal were the entrees. We ordered the chicken tamale and the lamb enchiladas. Each bite was heaven. I didn’t want it to end. The mole on the enchiladas was so flavorful. The different sauces on the tamale went so well with the thick fluffy corn flavor. This place was a little pricey but so worth it.

Best tasting margarita I’ve had in years. The red bell pepper margarita finds just the right amount of sweetness. With chili lime along the rim.
Guacamole, we tried three and the winner was the peppercorn.
Seared tuna was still a little cold inside but otherwise perfection.
Stellar service by Justin.

Great restaurant for all occasions. Spicy mango & cucumber margaritas are my favorite (as is the seasonal lenten fish fry). There is a small room available for reservation (10-14 people), or a large private backroom for events (30+ people), & the owner is very helpful in accommodating. Staff is friendly & welcoming. I’ve been going here for nearly 10 years & every experience has been perfect!

Thoroughly enjoyed the cocktail and food. The pollo taquitos had the perfect flavor. This would definitely be a good to meal for me. A perfect place to end a long work week with the best drinks and food!

This was such a good dining experience! You can judge an authentic Mexican restaurant by their mole and El Carnicero delivers. Their mole is deeply dark and wonderfully delicious. I like that the menu offered authentic Mexican staple foods with a unique twist. This is not your typical neighborhood Mexican quick in-and-out joint. The decor was amazing. Really enjoyed El Carnicero and am looking forward to making my way to their sister restaurant, Momocho, in the near future.
Pro tip: If you’re dining alone or with one other, sit near the window at the front entrance. This small counter will give you a discount on your total bill! This is a fantastic concept!

Absolutely amazing Mexican in the Lakewood Area. Been here multiple times and have loved everything I’ve ordered. Service is quick and the drinks are good. Can’t go wrong if you’re craving some Mexican! Don’t forget to ask for the house made habanero sauce!
Our Bar tender Tim was phenomenal! He recommended going light on the onions for my blue corn enchiladas and the meal was amazing!

Is more like an American restaurant than Mexican people are very nice there but if you are looking for something more Mexican definitely not the best option but food is good like I said more the American style. And also it has tons of options for Mezcal and other drinks
