CLEVELAND, Ohio – It’s finally time to start devouring food and margaritas as Cleveland’s Best Mexican Restaurant contest moves to the taste test phase.

Cleveland’s Best reporters Brenda Cain and Yadi Rodriguez spent last week surprising the 20 restaurants that were voted into the finals by cleveland.com readers. This week, we start the taste test visits, as we eventually will determine the ultimate winner, Top 10 and Best of the Rest, as well as lots of category rankings such as Best Margaritas, Best Tacos.

And we’d like you to join us on the journey by coming out to any of the taste tests! We will need help finishing all the foods and drinks.

Visits begin Tuesday and run through May 13. Check out our entire schedule below.

The 20 visits will include taste tests of several classic Mexican foods and drinks, as well as items the restaurants believe you must try when you visit their establishments.

We’ll publish our reviews, as well as plenty of photos and videos, on cleveland.com/best throughout April and May.

So bring your appetite and join us on the journey. (Please note the arrival times are approximate based on traffic and needing to give our stomachs a break).
