There's no option for negative stars. Serious mistake going there. The salsa had no taste and the chips were stale. I ordered the Caliente chimis and what they consider Caliente was a pepper ranch that covered the horrible blob they call a chimi. It was supposed to be seafood, but it was a seafood paste. If the nasty paste didn't get you then the ranch did. Oh and I had no refills to wash the taste away.

This place it's great, we eat here about once a week. The food is fantastic, it's more of a tex-mex I guess rather than authentic. My favorite is the mesquite quesadilla and the cheese dip.

Casual atmosphere and very accommodating to children. We had a large group that was seated promptly. The service was good and the staff friendly. The food was good but not spectacular. It was served hot with no mistakes, even with a group of ten. Opt for the hot salsa instead of the house version for a chunkier and more flavorful version. The queso was excellent. Staff and atmosphere are well above average. Might go back and try a different dish to rate the food higher however.

Very yummy average semi fresh sit down Mexican food. The bad been lowered over the years here but it is still good to have a few times a year. Clean, friendly and usually quiet.

This in the only location in Ohio with the rest being in Fort Wayne. We went as a family of 9 and the service and food were what we expected good but not great. All of our food was good and hot and all was correct. We ordered a variety of foods including taco salads, casadilla's, tacos, enchiladas and others. The salsa was ok but not great, the chips were decent. Overall a non eventful eating experience and will likely return again.

I used to stay in Lima quite often for work and became addicted to their Grande Seafood Nacho platter. Seriously, it's really good. I literally ate it three consecutive nights per week, for about six months. Unfortunately, the service seems to have gone downhill and the food as well. I came here recently with a coworker and waited outside before they opened. The manager made a strange comment about how there is almost never anyone waiting outside. I would think that would be the opposite of what I would tell customers. Our waitress was just awful, and we were treated to (and overheard) some very unprofessional banter. I'm no prude, but employees need to act in a professional manner. I ordered the nacho platter and it was great as usual. My co-worker ordered some sort of enchilada. I tasted it. It had a distinct cardboard flavor, which I don't believe is traditional. Unless you are getting the nachos, I would avoid Bandido's. Maybe their low-end employees run the day shift. One can only hope.

The drinks are watered down and their food below average. The fish tacos were made from frozen-breaded fish fillets. It is edible and seems a bit unique in decor, but outdated and food is not worth the time or money.

The salsa had no flavor and found a hair in one of the bowls of salsa. Ordered taco and burrito the ground beef had no flavor rice was clumpy and could not eat my food. Chimichanga full of beans and hardly any ground beef. My ice water was good.

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
