I travel the country searching for authentic Mexican food. This restaurant does a great job. I want to give 5 stars to it but I can't. What I can do is tell you exactly what Taqueria Mixteca is. This restaurant is a very hard working family. They use fresh ingredients and make every single thing that hits the table probably starting early each day. There isn't anything in front of me that's bad for me except maybe the tortillas are made with lard and that's not wrong. Three different salsas that are each beautiful and unique to the others. All were tasty and the hot one will get you. The servers all smiled the whole time I was there and never stopped moving. Out front the owners were sitting having a conversation over blueprints on how to improve the front of the building maybe adding a patio. Again, I want to give 5 stars but I can't because I've had better but the amount of love that I saw on every plate is easily worth more than 4. I'll be back to try again in my travels. You should visit to.

This restaraunt surprised me. I'd heard it was good from coworkers and I've been on a huge quesa birria kick lately. I swung in for lunch this past week and ordered three quesa birria tacos and I was surprised by how clean and not messy the plate was. Most of the time these things are just dripping with grease but the outside was surprisingly clean. The tacos were also stuffed to the brim. So much flavor. The consomme was delicious (but the container isn't very dip friendly, needs a wider opening). The atmosphere is very casual and despite the age of the building it appears to be kept well cleaned. Staff was welcoming and friendly despite being very busy. I tried carry out tonight. So I could get the full effect. The food travels very well, I love 20 minutes away and everything was still hot and in good shape by the time I got home. This is definitely a new favorite and it's no surprise it's won multiple best of Dayton awards!

I visited this location for the first time after it was recommended by so many friends and previous co-workers. I called in for a carryout order I could swing by and pick it up on the way into the downtown area. I checked out the menu online so I would have an idea of what I wanted. I decided to grab a few different things, so I could get a well rounded take of the Tequeria Mixteca that I've grown excited to try. I picked a few favorites and a few new things as well. The guy on the phone made sure to say to me "Your not calling Chipotle dude" when I asked for rice...Why, I don't know since I was requesting Mexican rice. When I arrived I a few things where mixed up with the order. The person at the desk informed me that I wasn't specific when I placed my order over the phone. When I placed the order I wasn't given options, but, I guess he was too busy to mention that when he was telling me I didn't call Chipotle. After getting the mix-up worked out I was on my way. I have to say the hype for the food was 100% real! I have had authentic Mexican food, so, I had high expectations and they were met! The food was GREAT! I LOVED the burrito!! Outside of the the dicey customer service experience, this place was a gold mind! It really is a hidden gem in the heart of the city!

Worst service. Poor attitude. Not coming back. Ever. I've had their food. It's nothing to die for, but I was in the area so I thought I'd request a catering quote for my upcoming son's birthday. The place was literally empty. Just me and another guest having her dinner. I asked the waitress *in spanish* if she could give me the catering prices. She said NO, but she talked to someone in the kitchen, and kept on cleaning a table. A guy came out of the kitchen so I asked him if he could help and the waitress said: "I asked (didn't catch his name), and he said she should call tomorrow because he is busy" Really, people? Busy? There was not a sou waiting for food in there! I was disgusted with the answer. The guy said well... I might be able to help. I said no. Thanks. I will find another place. One that wants my business and is not.this busy... so no, I am not impressed at all.

Updated 12/3/20 They no longer offer family meal or buy the pound option.... Lost two stars.. Always good. Small place thou so avoid peak hours. Update 5/6/21 once again I pretty much had to really insist almost beg to purchase some type of chicken taco family meal. Finally I convinced the staff to sell me a pound of chicken with a hand full of tortillas and some chips with salsa... The pound of chicken was enough to serve four people but we did need to use some store bought tortillas because they didn't give us very many. You know the very first time I ordered this type of family meal I was very impressed with the service, value, and the amount of "fixing" that was included. But since.... no luck. Although the food is always great!!! and we will frequent the restaurant on east third St. It's just too bad you can not get a decent family meal to go anymore.

We've been customers since shortly after they opened after we read a fantastic review in the newspaper. We've gone there just by ourselves, or with parties of ten and both the food and service have always been consistently excellent! Their guac is especially good, so don't bother ordering the small portion! They have a few picnic benches outside and when you sit there on a hot, sunny day (facing the laundromato and the purple/gold house!) it's almost like you're actually in Mexico! Now, to make things even better they're selling beautiful pieces of pottery that are shipped in from Mexico. Even if you don't purchase any, they add to the outdoor ambiance. p.s. They don't serve alcohol, but you're welcome to bring your own. If you forget, the Big Daddy drive-through right next door sells cold Mexican brews.
