I cant give it 5 stars for two reasons, but first lets start off with how good the food is. Ive been here twice and the chips and salsa they start you out with is good and you can practically fill up on it. Then when you get your plate, it is a big plate. At least what I get, Guadalajara Special, so good even reheated. However... This place does not have the best service and I do not mean that they are not friendly. They are nice, but they are a little disorganized. It took 3 hosts to seat us, 2 waiters tried to serve us, and then we stopped eating because they started spraying chemicals to clean the tables that was potent enough you couldnt breath. Smelled like a combo of Windex and ammonia. At least they try and keep it clean, just need to bot use so much while people are eating at the next table. This has happened both times weve been there. I hope they can organize better and find a less potent cleaner, otherwise this place is great.

The service was courteous and prompt. The decor was authentic Mexican...in fact, imported the tables/chair combibnation from Mexico which was beautiful. We were camping nearby at Stonelick SP and decided to have lunch out of camp as the weather was not cooperating for other camping activities. Glad we did, the lunch menu is extensive and well priced for the quality and selection. I had the beef Chimi made with strips of beef, not ground beef and the DW had the special Burro with rice, beans chicken & beef. Well definitely be coming back to this place for an encore.

Went for dinner and ordered the 16 oz. margaritas on sale Monday all day for $2.00 only to be told they are only 12 oz. After 2 of them we ordered 2 dinners which I had a coupon for $6.00 of dinner for 2. When I go to pay for dinner I am told that I can not use my coupon for the dinners because I had the margarita special. I said I am using the coupon for my dinners, They told me I can not use the dinner coupon with a drink special. I will not be back.

Service was AWFUL!! Stood for 10 min just waiting for someone to come seat us. Watched several people walk about from being tired of waiting. Then waited another 25 min just to get our drinks ordered!!! So angry!! Will never be coming back. Although I do have to admit, despite my quesadilla not having cheese on it, it was yummy.

To be fair I have eaten at this place and had take out. Stick to dinning in. Place is usually very busy. Seating is very tight, if you dont mind sharing a bit of personal space while dinning youll enjoy your dinning experience. Food is okay. Service was unremarkable.

Ate here about a month ago. Big menu (probably to big) and resonable prices.Food game out fast and hot, watch those plates. Salsa on the table was a little watery but had a little heat and cilantro. Ill be going back.

I bought 12 tacos and it was $52 what a waste of money. The tacos did not even have flavor and the tortilla fell apart before you could even get the second bite. Will never EVER waste my money here again.

The restaurant is very clean and the servers are all very polite! My margarita was On Point! I had the Fajitas Del Mar and for Lebanon, Ohio it was very good!! We will be back. ¡Muchos Gracias El Picante!

Great Mexican food, 99 cent drafts on Sundays, great place to grab lunch and pregame for football. Oh...and the Burrito El Barzon, greatest Mexican dish ever.

Great local Mexican. I find that their entrees are a step up from most restaurants like this one, and it is right around the corner.

Food is great! Service not so much. Dont come on Sundays if your liking for a margarita. They will give you a beer though.
