Featured Opening: Hola Tacos

Hola Tacos is an an L.A.-style taco stand in Cleveland, Ohio’s Lakewood’s Birdtown neighborhood. Now owner Juan Vergara, who also operates with his family Barroco Arepa Bars in Lakewood, Westlake and on Larchmere, is opening a second location. He has assembled a concise but compelling menu of traditional tacos that represent a nice selection of regional classics. Tacos are sold three to an order, come on corn tortillas, and include designated toppings plus a choice of salsas (chile de arbol, avocado sauce, queso crema).

Hola Tacos also serves tostadas and tortas, made with a choice of the taco fillings, a burrito stuffed with rice, beans and meat, and two large plates comprised of braised beef or slow-roasted pork with yellow rice, housemade refried beans and garnishes. Seating is all “al fresco,” but under cover and warmed by heaters. Future plans call for indoor seating and a bar to be added to an adjacent property.

“Our approach to authentic Mexican street tacos together with our warm service and eclectic atmosphere will have you and your guests raving about your next visit.”
