Editorial Review for El Tango Taqueria – by T. Katrina Ramser
In Short
Picture Santa Fe. The owner (sporting a tall white cowboy hat) would sooner not serve guacamole than settle for mediocre avocados. Hungry people have taken note--with good reason as the food here is tasty, affordable and authentic. Large flour-tortilla burritos are stuffed with choice of meat, chicken, pork, fish or veggies. There's delicious tamale pie con pollo, a daily soup and specials. The wholesome chicken-lime-veggie soup is a meal in itself.

My fiance and I ate here for the first time this past weekend. We'd heard nothing but great things about the food but no one told us what do do when we walked in so we kind of just stood there looking confused! Luckily the drill was explained to us by a man who I assumed was the owner. He was really friendly and upbeat, which usually annoys me but not here--his enthusiasm seemed sincere and genuine. We were slightly disappointed to find out that they didn't serve alcohol, but I had the iced tea and it was absolutely delicious. Now that we know it's BYOB, I'm sure we'll be taking advantage of that! The decor was really unique and interesting, and we liked the fact that the dining area was small and UNcrowded (Saturday night at 6:30pm, and we were the only ones in the dining room, though several groups came in for carryout while we were there) I ordered the California Avocado-Lime burrito with fish. It was the absolute best burrito in the entire world. I'm a Chipotle nut, but I'm not sure I can go back there now after eating this burrito! I'm still dreaming about it, and probably will until I go back and eat another one! When we left, the three employees who were there gave us a friendly thank you and good night, as if we had been coming there every day for years. It was really nice. I definitely recommend it.
Pros: friendly service, fresh food, short wait time
Cons: no parking lot

Best food in Lakewood, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County and beyond. I cannot believe this place still has seating available on Friday Nights. People in Cleveland accept mediocre food and I have eaten plenty of it since coming to the area. But Tango is bar none the best food I have eaten anywhere in Cleveland. They could double the prices on the menu and I'd still go back. Oh yeah, it's BYOB so as the owner tells me "bring as much as you can carry." My wife and I are now lifelong customers at Tango.
Pros: Great Food, Cheap, BYOB
Cons: Closed Sunday
