El Grillo Taqueria, Middletown OH

This restaurant doesn’t even deserve a 1 star. We got to the restaurant and it seemed pretty normal then we ordered drinks and food, our drinks came and we were chitchatting while waiting for enjoying our food but later and 1 hour passes no food and everybody around us was getting and eating there food and even already paying. All we ordered was 2 menudos a single taco for my niece, fried chicken and a caldo de pollo. My parents menudos came and the pollo frito did too, but we had to ask the person taking us our food for the taco and my caldo de pollo. The lady said oh i’ll bring the taco out but she proceeded to tell me that they didn’t make any caldo de pollo. So they literally made us wait for something that was never made and they didn’t even tell us when we were first ordering that they didn’t have any so i could order something else. Many men came in after us and got there food right away. The lady said that they order before they came in but she was most definitely lieing because we saw multiple people order there and get their food within five minutes. My dad said a couple things to the guy who checked us out and he said “i don’t care about you buying from us it gives us more money. ” and multiple other things so i suggest you don’t eat here.

If I could go negative for a review I would. We went in the waitress got our drink order and food order then we waited for 56 minutes while others got their food that came in after us. Left without eating and paid $5 for 3 canned sodas. Ridiculous!

Love El Grillo. Lived in Mexico. Guadalajara.well-known for their pozole.and El Grillo's pozole is one of my all-time favorites. Great authentic food, and super friendly family and staff.

Good place, excellent food, the best are the delicious handmade tortillas
