. This tiny taqueria is a gem. The food is fresh and sublimely delicious! . I LOVE THIS PLACE ! . The Guacamole is great. . The Camarones Tacos (shrimp tacos) features 3 small soft tacos with tender, boiled shrimp, shredded cabbage, guac, and the most wonderful Tamarind sauce (sweet and fruity). . The Carnitas Tacos (pork tacos; 3 small soft tacos) has tender flavorful morsels of pork, with onion, guac, and a savory sauce- only slightly spicy. . I recommend the refreshing house-made limeade, called Agua de Limon. . This restaurant is a tiny, very narrow, storefront. Of the two exterior doors on Main Street, enter the left (In) door; when you leave, you use the other door. . The restaurant interior has colorful wall murals and just a few small tables in the back of the space. They do offer carry-out. . Parking on Main Street is limited, but there is one (pay) public lot just across Main Street, and another (pay) public parking lot about 1/2 block away at 7th and Main.

Excellent authentic first generation, Mexican tacos and similar fare. Drool worthy and finger licking good. Behind Saint Xavier, one block down from Aronoff center, across the street from the closed Izzy Cadets, he would be proud of this business. Tacos Birrias were amazing.

Excellent tacos! The guac was flavorful and very limey - like we like it. We also had a side of the black bean puree which was delicious. You can mix and match tacos too, which is always a plus. If you’re in the mood for tacos, you’re not going to go wrong with Mazunte!

Great food and atmosphere and nice staff. We tried the chips, salsas, queso, a number of the tacos and the margaritas and everything was great. Nothing was exceptionally spicy but the flavour was delicious. I wish I wasn’t only visiting the city or else this would be a regular place for me!
