What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Taqueria La Loma is lauded for its authentic and delicious Mexican cuisine, with many highlighting the exceptional birria tacos and fresh salsa. Diners praise the friendly and fast service, along with reasonable prices. While the atmosphere is casual and the space is small, leading to potential waits, the quality of food consistently impresses, making it a top choice for Mexican food in the area.
"The food is great here. It feels authentic, but it does have staple recipes. The birria tacos are very good. Highly recommend them the chips and salsa is also good. The chips in Salsa are included with your meal. The one complaint I would have is that the margaritas seem to be a little weak. The margaritas are very sweet because of that. But I have not had a bad meal here. The prices are reasonable. There is plenty of parking in the lot. The place, however, is very small, so expect a wait. There is only like 8 tables max. But you will not be disappointed here."

"First time at Taqueria La Loma. Started off with a golden strawberry margarita on the rocks. My son got an ice cold Coca-Cola bottle. Then I ordered a white cheese dip to go along with the salsa. My son ordered two cecina tacos plain, and I ordered the wet burrito with pastor. This was the best Mexican I've eaten in Akron. I will definitely will go back and try something else on the menu."
Chris Sinesky
"Always great food and very respectful workers! Always so nice and pleasant and clean restaurant. We got the torta cubana which was huge that they had to put it into two Togo boxes and also Gordo burrito which I chooses lengua meat ! Delicious"
