So you’re looking to take some friends or family members out to dinner and can’t decide where to go because everyone has different tastes. Well, there’s one type of food that almost nobody will say no to – Mexican food. Here in Ottowa, OH and surrounding areas just a short drive from Kalida, Columbus Grove, and Deshler; we have outstanding Mexican restaurants right here on our doorstep!

1. Lucero’s Mexican Restaurant

You don’t have to go more than two blocks from Main Street in Ottowa to find some delicious Mexican cuisine at an affordable price.  Lucero’s offers a delicious assortment of homemade Mexican dishes in a homey, family restaurant-style setting that is bound to welcome the whole family and friends. And you can’t beat their prices for the quality you get; most full meals are under $12.

We can recommend their huevos con chorizo (scrambled eggs with spicy Mexican sausage and Spanish rice), caldo de res (a hearty Mexican beef soup), and of course, their Ottowa special – a mix-plate consisting of a tamale, shrimp chimichanga, and beef burrito for only $10!

2. Cancun Mexican Restaurant

Imagine you’re down in Cancun, sipping on a coconut drink, munching on some delicious nachos with carne asada and hot salsa, while mariachi music plays in the background. Well, you don’t need to fly all the way to Mexico; you just need to head down the street to Cancun Mexican Restaurant, where you’ll be immediately back to a Mexican holiday state of mind!

From their dinner menu, try their nachos carbon (nachos with meat, melted cheese, beans, and lettuce) or choriqueso (hot grilled cheese with spicy Mexican sausage).

3. Mi Familia Mexican Restaurant

If you’re looking for something incredibly authentic, like you just walked into a cantina in a small barrio of Mexico City, make the 15-minute drive over to Mi Familia, and trust us, you’ll want to come back.

Their extensive menu includes not only the classic Mexican favorites but also other authentic dishes that can be harder to find, like tamales, ceviche, and deviled shrimp. Their seafood menu includes some specialties straight from the Gulf of Mexico, including tilapia and red snapper. Who says you need to go on a Caribbean holiday to get fresh Mexican seafood?

If you do fall in love with Mexican food (and who won’t?!) and want to one day make the trip down to Mexico to try the real deal, you’re going to need a nice big, comfy car, perfect for the family road trip, like the 2023 Chevrolet Equinox. So before you chow down, head over to Chevrolet of Ottawa and get your family a quality Chevrolet for a well-deserved road trip!
