Food Suggestions to Maintain Cholesterol Level at MCDONALD'S
I used to love El Rodeo at this same location-- nice staff, good Mexican-ish food. Now it's a Don Ramon's. While the decor is mercifully toned down, the food is really mushy and bland. Whether you order an enchilada or a burrito, it all tastes the same, slathered in the same orangey-pinkish sauce. Not even good for suburban Mexicanesque food.

They use to have the very best frozen margaritas....recently they are like weak watery lime slime. Very disappointed

Have been here multiple times. It is our go to mexican place. The food is great - get the fajita burrito! will not disappoint and more than enough to take home (Decent heat up in oven or microwave the next day). Margaritas are also delicious. Service is fast and friendly and attentive. My friend likes super spicy food and they have the sauces to please her.

I have tried a few Mexican restaurants in the area, and this one is my favorite. I have been there twice now and both times had good service. The food is sooo good. There is a burrito there called Noreno Burrito and it has pulled pork and chorizo in it, it is amazing. The salsa is really good, it tastes very fresh, and has pieces of cilantro in it, which I love. The ambiance is pretty typical Mexican restaurant, nothing special, but nice. The food is very good.

I go here once a week. Great fajitas with a great price- I get them every time I come! Chips and salsa are always fresh and taste great. The best thing is the happy hour- 1/2 off drinks. A large pitcher of margaritas is only $10! Service and staff are great and always friendly.

I had the fajatias, safe bet. Here is where they differ and why I will go back. The food was excellant, fast and the waitress was a doll. Not the two typical tortialas like you get in Memphis, but that tin foil wrapper had 5 fresh, soft, tortialas inside. Didnt have to ask for more or wait. I know this is a minor thing, but it impressed me. I highly recomend giving this place a try, much better than bar food, and the cervasa is big and cold.

Service was good and that's about it. Ground beef lacked seasoning and was so overworked it was pasty. Taco shells were par-baked and tasted like they pulled them out of the box but didn't put them under the broiler. We won't be back. Nothing authentic or good enough to warrant a return.

Very enjoyable, great friendly service, good food. Hit the spot! The white cheese dip was nicely seasoned. We were looking for a Mexican place to take the family later on a Saturday night. This place still had several patrons when we came in and the service and food was as good as we would have expected at a more reasonable hour.

Chips and salsa anyone?! This is one of the best Mexican places around! We've been here numerous times for numerous occasions and it's always been amazing. Let me explain. Every time I've been here I always get greeted with a warm smile by the hostess. Even on Cinco De Mayo when it was so busy I was greeted with a warm smile. The service by the servers is always on point. Never had to wait to be greeted, for water, for chips and salsa or anything else. Let's talk about the chips and salsa, to freaking die for. The chips are perfectly salted and the salsa definitely has some kick. We ordered tacos to go last night and we got a HUGE bag filled with chips and a container of salsa, I was surprised that we still got chips and salsa even when ordering to go. Everything I've ever ordered for dinner has been amazing and the tacos oh the tacos!

Ate here on a Thursday night. Place was not busy whatsoever, which was quite apparent given the large space the restaurant occupies. Food was okay, but not as good as I've had elsewhere. Salsa has a very tomato-y flavor, guac was good. The chimichangas were very cheesy, and did not come with another sauce (typical at other restaurants). I had to add some salsa to cut down on the cheese factor. Pork and chicken inside the chimichangas were good and not overcooked. Service was fine...but my one complaint is that I could swear that the amount on my bill and the amount I was charged were not the same. Thought my bill was $2 cheaper than what was on the receipt. I'll allow for the fact that I misread the bill, but I'm not sure that I did. There are better Mexican options in the area, so I'll not be back.

As we are driving the family cross country, we stopped in Westlake, OH for the night... we were tired and in search of a non-fast food dinner option. We settled on Don Ramon, which ended up being a solid choice. The chips and salsa came out, and I was really impressed with how crispy the chips were - I mean, super crispy. The salsa didn't look impressive, but it tasted pretty darn good... we even asked for a second bowl. My husband asked for hot sauce with his food, and they brought out an amaaaazing bowl of super spicy salsa/picante - not sure if it was homemade, but it was delicious. All kids' meals are $3.99, and they include a drink... such a great deal, and my sons couldn't finish their plates. The husband and I shared the Fajitas Texanas, which was a mixed grill platter of steak, chicken and shrimp. It was HUGE!! We could barely make a dent in it - I really think four people could share it. The steak and chicken were just ok, but the shrimp was tasty. Service was very friendly and food came out quickly.

When we were seated there was a strange stench in the booth...still not sure what it was.. The service was ok, but the food was meh...The quesadilla had barely any cheese, and my friend who ordered a fajita quesadilla, which is almost double the cost, got essentially the same thing for double the cost....They were very stingy on cheese in general and the guac was not fresh...would not be back.

The food is ok. The pricing is fair but it's definitely not authentic. Great and friendly service tho!

The salsa and hot chips are flavorful, especially the hot salsa, which my wife calls, "so painfully good!" The chorizo pollo was fantastic - I wrapped it up in a tortilla with beans, rice, and some of the salsa, and I was in spicy heaven. I reluctantly put down my rapid tortilla assembly machine (fork) when my wife suggested I save the rest for lunch tomorrow. Future me will thank me, but Present me hates him just a little right now. Good prices, good atmosphere, attentive and very friendly waiter... couldn't be better.

Great Mexican cuisine, great drinks! This gem is hidden in Savannah Plaza on Detroit in Westlake- if you aren't looking for it you may miss it all together. The restaurant is much bigger than it looks so there is hardly ever a wait. Great for family and friend get togethers!

Megan C.
Hello Amigos! Always a good experience and the food comes out super fast. Enrique and his staff provide great service and we have never been disappointed. There are a lot of great items on the menu but the carnitas are the best. Also - margaritas are not watered down like the other Mexican restaurants in the area.

Lucy K.
This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the Cleveland area, at this point. The food is absolutely delicious... we hardly ever take leftovers home because the portion sizes are pretty much spot on. The hot salsa is so spicy, but it still has really good flavor - it's not just HOT blasting your mouth. I've tried things all across the menu and been happy with everything so far. The service is always very good, very fast, and attentive. We came with a group of 8 once, with specific dietary requests, and the service we had that evening was fantastic. The price is reasonable, and there are coupons online, and in mailers, and so for all of those reasons, we'll keep coming back, again and again!

Used to be bad here. New owners/management have made it pretty good. Not the best but pretty good. Guac is good, margaritas are pretty good. Service is so so. They sometimes forget you are there while they talk to customers or among themselves.

We arrived for lunch on a Friday afternoon. We ended up parking in the rear because of a sign saying additional parking in the rear. We noticed there was an entrance in the rear also. Upon entering a sign tells you you must walk all the way to the front of the restaurant to be seated. Awkward but not a big deal. We were seated quickly and drinks and chips and salsa came out immediately. The chips were average but they were not as greasy as other restaurants. The mild salsa was a little on the warm side but it was pretty bland. Not much in it. The hot salsa was pretty good but it is similar to the hot salsa as you get at many of the other Mexican restaurants. Our food order came out in about 10 minutes. Definitely one of the best fajitas that I have had from a Mexican restaurant in a long time. Barely any grease and the chicken was seasoned really well. The peppers, onions, and tomatoes were actually diced which was different but good. It cost about 2 dollars more than your average restaurant and the portion size was a little smaller. This restaurant is definitely one of the cleaner Mexican restaurants I have been to.

From Texas, working near by. Found this place via yelp. It was amazing. Very hard to find anything half this good this far from home. The service, food and atmosphere is great. Will try to come again before we leave town.

Typical strip mall Mexican restaurant, with a funky and fun decor. The food was all fresh and delicious, especially the enchiladas rancheras, with a smoky red rancheras sauce that continues to haunt my dreams (at least until my next visit). They have great specials at lunch and dinner, and money saving coupons can be found on their website. Is it the best Mexican I've had? No. But it is reliably good, and the staff has always been attentive and gracious. I will continue to return to this fun little gem.

Had a carryout lunch here for the first time today with coworkers. It is ok...nothing special. Had lunch #10 with whole pinto beans instead of refried as I always do when enjoying Mexican cuisine. The beans were blah...did not taste like there was any seasoning. Enchilada was ok. My coworkers that had the rice said it was extremely salty. They included tortilla chips and 1, itty bitty container of salsa for 4 take out lunches. Price was cheap so it has that going for it but would dine at the other Mexican establishment less than a mile east of this one before I would go back here. Quality was just so-so.

Writing after two visits. The food is generally good. I was little hesitant with the 4 stars but decided to go ahead with it. First time we were in a group so I had chance to sample variety of food. Everything was spot on. The portions, the flavors and taste. The home made tomatillo salsa is amazing. It is so hot that it is good. Without burning my taste buds. The second time though, the food was salty. The beans the fajitas as well as the rice. Of course saltiness depends on the individual palate but I found it a heavy on salt. The service is good. People are friendly, serve with a smile. Prompt. The place is huge. Lots of booth and table seating. Ask for their tomatillo salsa!!!!!

Rick W.
Not bad at all. Chips and salsa were good, queso was outstanding. Chipotle cream sauce on cheese and onion enchilada, WOW! Pull chicken taco and beef tacos are not like ordinary Mexican places. These have flavor. Very good and we will go back.

We used to like El Rodeo. When it changed to Don Ramon it seems like the prices went up and the quality of the food went way down. It's almost always empty. I'm not sure how they stay in business.

The food has always been delicious and well-portioned, the staff friendly and helpful and quick, their cleanliness is excellent and their atmosphere a true fiesta. They are affordable, pleasant and I cannot speak well enough of them. In all the months I have been going they have never let me down. Viva Don Ramon!

Reem T.
SO and I came here thinking it was "El Rodeo" (from a google search for mexican food) and we found Don Ramon's. Let me say: our waitress (i believe her name was yolanda) was absolutely wonderful. So kind and courteous and attentive. I had the lunch special #17, which was a yummy steak burrito with awesome sides and such yummy chips and salsa. SO had Lunch Special (i think it was #15?) that was a pork/chorizo burrito, and he loved it. We also ordered a pitcher of beer, some iced tea, and a side of sour cream and the entire meal (that we couldnt finish there was so much) cost us around $30. We loved everything about this place, and we'll probably be getting some to go next time (planning a trip this week) so we can enjoy it staying in with a good movie. Love Don Ramon's. The service was great, the people were great. Im not sure why this would get any negative reviews.

Trish R.
The worst Mexican food I've ever eaten. And their special margaritas made with top shelf tequila (at $10+ each) were made with mix, not fresh lime juice. Needless to say they were horrible. I can't recommend this place.

Patrick M.
I cam here for lunch with a co worker. They had a long lunch specials menu as well as a regular menu. I ordered the 17. The cheese covered burrito was amazing. The white queso was delicious and all the stuffing made the tender steak even better. I would recommend this to someone looking for a quick delicious lunch.

The atmosphere is what is to be expected of a suburban Mexican restaurant, though we found the food to be quite good, the service was excellent, and it was a good value. Chips were warm and thin, salsa wad delicious and obviously freshly made since our 2nd bowl of salsa tasted different than the first - but both good. There are 3 other Mexican restaurants closer to our home, but I'll drive a few extra miles as this is my new favorite.

Jason S.
It's cromulent food, for the suburbanite. I guess. Maybe I'm spoiled by eating great Tex-Mex in Dallas, or decent Mexican in St. Louis, but we tried this place the other night and wasn't very pleased. It's the same Mexican restaurant I've seen in 1000 towns, with the same Enchiladas Supremas menu, but everything is $2-3 higher than I'm used to. Normally not a big deal, but it's the same food - and at $7.99 most of these places are marginal. Pros: - The food, overall, was fine. Nothing to write home about, but nothing to complain about. - The server was very attentive, and took good care of us and our 2 year old. She made sure he had a cup with a lid and extra napkins. It's the little things. Cons: - Chips were definitely not fresh. Maybe made much earlier in the day, and I'm spoiled, but I love freshly made tortilla chips. - The salsa was bland and goopy. Not pleasantly chunky, or appropriately runny - just not that great. - The food, overall, was fine. Not great, not bad. It was, as I said, overpriced. A burrito grande (or whatever they call a burrito with chicken, doused in cheese sauce) was $10.99. Most places that's a $8-9 burrito. - The house margarita was definitely a mix, and light on the tequila. Is it so hard to use fresh lime juice? I can't bag them down to 1-2 stars, as they weren't BAD, so to speak, but they just weren't GOOD. I would certainly go elsewhere for the money.

Came to Cleveland/west lake on business, found this place on yelp. Chips were hot and fresh. The hot salsa was very spicy (as expected) but tasted amazing. The enchiladas verdes were very authentic. Everything was great. Great food at a great price!!!

I was here for a work-related happy hour, so I didn't really taste much of the food. However, the chips and salsa were really good (good cilantro flavor). Also, less than $4 during happy hour for two Coronas! The atmosphere is good, and my fellow colleagues all love the place. One of these days I'll have to have a real dinner here.

Ramon gave me food poisoning. The servers there was so many of them doing nothing all while one manger was running around doing all the work. Our server just left us and took us 15 mins to get the check. And when we got the check we were charged for 11$ patron margs when we just ordered regular ones

I have eaten at Don Ramon since it first opened about twenty years ago, and have never had a bad meal, the meals have been very consistent over all that time, at all the restaurants. Having traveled throughout Mexico for some time now it is easy to distinquish quality mexican food. Saturday I had the pleasure to have el mocajete for dinner. I have never seen it on a menu in Cleveland and I must say it did not let me down, one of the best meals I have had at Don Ramon. My compliments to the staff for always having fresh authentic mexican food, consistently.

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.

The service was ok, but the food was meh...The quesadilla had barely any cheese, and my friend who ordered a fajita quesadilla, which is almost double the cost, got essentially the same thing for double the cost....They were very stingy on cheese in general and the guac was not fresh...would not be back.

The food is ok. The pricing is fair but it's definitely not authentic. Great and friendly service tho!

The salsa and hot chips are flavorful, especially the hot salsa, which my wife calls, "so painfully good!" The chorizo pollo was fantastic - I wrapped it up in a tortilla with beans, rice, and some of the salsa, and I was in spicy heaven. I reluctantly put down my rapid tortilla assembly machine (fork) when my wife suggested I save the rest for lunch tomorrow. Future me will thank me, but Present me hates him just a little right now. Good prices, good atmosphere, attentive and very friendly waiter... couldn't be better.

The service is so fast but never like fast food always happy to please and they help me practice my Spanish by the way the arroz con canaries is as amazing as it sounds but you need a tall xx to finish it love the atmosphere

Great Mexican cuisine, great drinks! This gem is hidden in Savannah Plaza on Detroit in Westlake- if you aren't looking for it you may miss it all together. The restaurant is much bigger than it looks so there is hardly ever a wait. Great for family and friend get togethers!

Hello Amigos! Always a good experience and the food comes out super fast. Enrique and his staff provide great service and we have never been disappointed. There are a lot of great items on the menu but the carnitas are the best. Also - margaritas are not watered down like the other Mexican restaurants in the area.

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the Cleveland area, at this point. The food is absolutely delicious... we hardly ever take leftovers home because the portion sizes are pretty much spot on. The hot salsa is so spicy, but it still has really good flavor - it's not just HOT blasting your mouth. I've tried things all across the menu and been happy with everything so far. The service is always very good, very fast, and attentive. We came with a group of 8 once, with specific dietary requests, and the service we had that evening was fantastic. The price is reasonable, and there are coupons online, and in mailers, and so for all of those reasons, we'll keep coming back, again and again!

Used to be bad here. New owners/management have made it pretty good. Not the best but pretty good. Guac is good, margaritas are pretty good. Service is so so. They sometimes forget you are there while they talk to customers or among themselves.

Always amazing food. We have 2 Hispanic restaurants that we pass by within 1 mile of our house, we choose to drive 3 more miles to get a great meal, great service, great portions, great prices!

This place makes some of the best chicken noodle soup I have had! There beef tacos are the business! And service couldn't be better! You must try.

We arrived for lunch on a Friday afternoon. We ended up parking in the rear because of a sign saying additional parking in the rear. We noticed there was an entrance in the rear also. Upon entering a sign tells you you must walk all the way to the front of the restaurant to be seated. Awkward but not a big deal. We were seated quickly and drinks and chips and salsa came out immediately. The chips were average but they were not as greasy as other restaurants. The mild salsa was a little on the warm side but it was pretty bland. Not much in it. The hot salsa was pretty good but it is similar to the hot salsa as you get at many of the other Mexican restaurants. Our food order came out in about 10 minutes. Definitely one of the best fajitas that I have had from a Mexican restaurant in a long time. Barely any grease and the chicken was seasoned really well. The peppers, onions, and tomatoes were actually diced which was different but good. It cost about 2 dollars more than your average restaurant and the portion size was a little smaller. This restaurant is definitely one of the cleaner Mexican restaurants I have been to.

Similar feel to many of the other mexican restaurants in the area. Same food and decor, but i like the food a lot and they make them well. I have had no problems from Don Ramon's and plan on going back again sometime.

From Texas, working near by. Found this place via yelp. It was amazing. Very hard to find anything half this good this far from home. The service, food and atmosphere is great. Will try to come again before we leave town.

Typical strip mall Mexican restaurant, with a funky and fun decor. The food was all fresh and delicious, especially the enchiladas rancheras, with a smoky red rancheras sauce that continues to haunt my dreams (at least until my next visit). They have great specials at lunch and dinner, and money saving coupons can be found on their website. Is it the best Mexican I've had? No. But it is reliably good, and the staff has always been attentive and gracious. I will continue to return to this fun little gem.

Had a carryout lunch here for the first time today with coworkers. It is ok...nothing special. Had lunch #10 with whole pinto beans instead of refried as I always do when enjoying Mexican cuisine. The beans were blah...did not taste like there was any seasoning. Enchilada was ok. My coworkers that had the rice said it was extremely salty. They included tortilla chips and 1, itty bitty container of salsa for 4 take out lunches. Price was cheap so it has that going for it but would dine at the other Mexican establishment less than a mile east of this one before I would go back here. Quality was just so-so.

This is my favorite local place, hands down. Great employees, excellent food, and unbeatable prices. My fav dish is he shrimp fajita nachos, but you cant go wrong with any dish.
(5)Chintan S.
Writing after two visits. The food is generally good. I was little hesitant with the 4 stars but decided to go ahead with it. First time we were in a group so I had chance to sample variety of food. Everything was spot on. The portions, the flavors and taste. The home made tomatillo salsa is amazing. It is so hot that it is good. Without burning my taste buds. The second time though, the food was salty. The beans the fajitas as well as the rice. Of course saltiness depends on the individual palate but I found it a heavy on salt. The service is good. People are friendly, serve with a smile. Prompt. The place is huge. Lots of booth and table seating. Ask for their tomatillo salsa!!!!!
(4)Rick W.
Not bad at all. Chips and salsa were good, queso was outstanding. Chipotle cream sauce on cheese and onion enchilada, WOW! Pull chicken taco and beef tacos are not like ordinary Mexican places. These have flavor. Very good and we will go back.

We used to like El Rodeo. When it changed to Don Ramon it seems like the prices went up and the quality of the food went way down. It's almost always empty. I'm not sure how they stay in business.
(2)Gilgamesh T.
The food has always been delicious and well-portioned, the staff friendly and helpful and quick, their cleanliness is excellent and their atmosphere a true fiesta. They are affordable, pleasant and I cannot speak well enough of them. In all the months I have been going they have never let me down. Viva Don Ramon!

SO and I came here thinking it was "El Rodeo" (from a google search for mexican food) and we found Don Ramon's. Let me say: our waitress (i believe her name was yolanda) was absolutely wonderful. So kind and courteous and attentive. I had the lunch special #17, which was a yummy steak burrito with awesome sides and such yummy chips and salsa. SO had Lunch Special (i think it was #15?) that was a pork/chorizo burrito, and he loved it. We also ordered a pitcher of beer, some iced tea, and a side of sour cream and the entire meal (that we couldnt finish there was so much) cost us around $30. We loved everything about this place, and we'll probably be getting some to go next time (planning a trip this week) so we can enjoy it staying in with a good movie. Love Don Ramon's. The service was great, the people were great. Im not sure why this would get any negative reviews.
(5)Trish R.
The worst Mexican food I've ever eaten. And their special margaritas made with top shelf tequila (at $10+ each) were made with mix, not fresh lime juice. Needless to say they were horrible. I can't recommend this place.
(1)Patrick M.
I cam here for lunch with a co worker. They had a long lunch specials menu as well as a regular menu. I ordered the 17. The cheese covered burrito was amazing. The white queso was delicious and all the stuffing made the tender steak even better. I would recommend this to someone looking for a quick delicious lunch.
(5)Lorie W.
Best food! Staff is great! I'm very picky about Mexican food so the fact that I love this place is a big deal. I will continue going as long as I live up north.
(5)Ryan M.
The atmosphere is what is to be expected of a suburban Mexican restaurant, though we found the food to be quite good, the service was excellent, and it was a good value. Chips were warm and thin, salsa wad delicious and obviously freshly made since our 2nd bowl of salsa tasted different than the first - but both good. There are 3 other Mexican restaurants closer to our home, but I'll drive a few extra miles as this is my new favorite.
(5)Jason S.
It's cromulent food, for the suburbanite. I guess. Maybe I'm spoiled by eating great Tex-Mex in Dallas, or decent Mexican in St. Louis, but we tried this place the other night and wasn't very pleased. It's the same Mexican restaurant I've seen in 1000 towns, with the same Enchiladas Supremas menu, but everything is $2-3 higher than I'm used to. Normally not a big deal, but it's the same food - and at $7.99 most of these places are marginal. Pros: - The food, overall, was fine. Nothing to write home about, but nothing to complain about. - The server was very attentive, and took good care of us and our 2 year old. She made sure he had a cup with a lid and extra napkins. It's the little things. Cons: - Chips were definitely not fresh. Maybe made much earlier in the day, and I'm spoiled, but I love freshly made tortilla chips. - The salsa was bland and goopy. Not pleasantly chunky, or appropriately runny - just not that great. - The food, overall, was fine. Not great, not bad. It was, as I said, overpriced. A burrito grande (or whatever they call a burrito with chicken, doused in cheese sauce) was $10.99. Most places that's a $8-9 burrito. - The house margarita was definitely a mix, and light on the tequila. Is it so hard to use fresh lime juice? I can't bag them down to 1-2 stars, as they weren't BAD, so to speak, but they just weren't GOOD. I would certainly go elsewhere for the money.

Came to Cleveland/west lake on business, found this place on yelp. Chips were hot and fresh. The hot salsa was very spicy (as expected) but tasted amazing. The enchiladas verdes were very authentic. Everything was great. Great food at a great price!!!
(5)Scott F.
I was here for a work-related happy hour, so I didn't really taste much of the food. However, the chips and salsa were really good (good cilantro flavor). Also, less than $4 during happy hour for two Coronas! The atmosphere is good, and my fellow colleagues all love the place. One of these days I'll have to have a real dinner here.
(3)Sandy D.
My boyfriend and I eat here every 1-2 weeks. The staff is great and the food never disappoints. I would continue coming here even if I didn't live nearby.

Ramon gave me food poisoning. The servers there was so many of them doing nothing all while one manger was running around doing all the work. Our server just left us and took us 15 mins to get the check. And when we got the check we were charged for 11$ patron margs when we just ordered regular ones
(1)John H.
The atmosphere was good but the food was very average. With so many Mexican restaurants on the west side I don't think I will be going back.
(3)Tomas C.
I have eaten at Don Ramon since it first opened about twenty years ago, and have never had a bad meal, the meals have been very consistent over all that time, at all the restaurants. Having traveled throughout Mexico for some time now it is easy to distinquish quality mexican food. Saturday I had the pleasure to have el mocajete for dinner. I have never seen it on a menu in Cleveland and I must say it did not let me down, one of the best meals I have had at Don Ramon. My compliments to the staff for always having fresh authentic mexican food, consistently.
