Mexican food has such bright flavors, cheesy goodness, and options for every palate and dietary choice that it’s perfect for the whole family. When it’s time, put the kids in the Chevy Trailblazer and visit one of these great Mexican restaurants in Pataskala, OH that we highly recommend.
El Parral
El Parral is our local favorite spot, and you’ll find it at 113 Lois Ln. They’re open from 11am until 9:30pm most of the week, though on Sunday, they close a little earlier at 9pm. They have a great buffet, cheese dip you can’t stop eating, and the best homemade guac. They’re always really busy, too, which is a good thing. The atmosphere is fun and welcoming.
Their brunch is every day from 11am until 3pm, and kids under 3 eat free. Kids up to 6 eat at half price, too. On Taco Tuesday, their tacos are only $1.50 for chicken or ground beef, hard or soft. If you go at other times, be sure to try the shrimp soup, the delicious nachos with crab meat, and any of their sizzling fajitas.
Cazuelas Mexican Restaurant & Cantina
You can visit Cazuelas Mexican Restaurant & Cantina any time from 11:30am until 10pm Tuesday through Saturday and until 8pm on Sunday and Monday. You’ll find them at 8134 E Broad St in Reynoldsburg. There’s always great food here, and the service is top-notch. The atmosphere is fun and lively, and they have simply spectacular margaritas. If you enjoy those, please do so responsibly and never drink and drive.
Their lunch menu is great, and you should definitely order some of their soup or the Cazuela’s bowl if you go at lunch. At dinner time, be sure to try the Mucho Macho Burrito, which is a foot-long burrito with rice, refried beans, extra-hot sauce, and your choice of grilled chicken or steak. It’s also topped with an enormously spicy hot sauce: if you can finish this thing in 20 minutes, it’s free.
Puerto Vallarta
At 100 Emswiler Way, you’ll find another local favorite. Puerta Vallarta is open from 11am until 10pm from Monday through Thursday and until 11pm on Friday and Saturday. Their Sunday hours are noon to 9pm. The stand-out quality here is the staff: you won’t find better service from nicer people anywhere.
We love the street tacos here. You get three, and they all come with fresh cilantro, lime, and hot sauce. Choose from chicken, steak, al pastor, or carnitas, and for a small upcharge, you can get fish or shrimp instead. The regular tacos come with rice or beans, and the fish and shrimp ones come with rice, lettuce, cheese, and pico de gallo.
When you’ve had all the guac you can handle, come see us at Coughlin Chevrolet of Pataskala for the best service in Ohio!
