Taqueria Rancheros

Late at night Taco Bell is pretty dang tasty, but if you’re looking for some truly original Mexican treats you’ll have to moonwalk your butt to Taqueria Rancheros.
David, the owner, grew up just outside of Mexico City and brought the flavors of his hometown to Akron. This North Hill eatery has been around for almost five years, but it seems to still be a new discovery to the average Akronite. The menu may appear to read like regular Tex-Mex American restaurant fare, but don’t be fooled. Each plate is specially prepared with traditional meals made from scratch, sometimes with tongue and cactus.
This restaurant is really small. There’s a single table as well as a tiny counter for those who wish to eat-in, but other than that, it’s all takeout.
David was doing so much business with the local Hispanic community that he decided to open a Latino market right next door. This is a great place to pick up special peppers, beans, and sauces to impress your friends on those special dinner nights.
Remember to bring cash, because credit cards are not accepted. Parking directly in front of the location(s) on Cuyahoga Falls Ave. is prohibited, so plan on turning onto a side street. Call for hours.
