"I am originally from Los Angeles, CA so I?ve been to several authentic Mexican restaurants. I?ve been to many ?Mexican? restaurants in Ohio and the Midwest in general since I moved here a decade ago and I am always disappointed because they havethe audacity to say they serve Mexican food when in reality they don?t. However, each time someone tells me about a Mexicanrestaurant to try I go in hopes that this time it will be different. Let me tell you, tonight it was totally different. TheBattleground is by far one of the BEST actually authentic Mexican restaurants I?ve ever been to out of the 29 states I?vevisited. They have two cute outdoor seating areas, they have a bar area indoor, and an area for general seating area. The decoris intimate and the staff is so helpful. I asked tons of questions and they were so patient with me. Rush hour started around6pm and it became a little hard to hear my partner but we just sat a little closer to each other, which wasn?t an issue foreither of us. He ordered the Jicama Salad and I ordered the Chile Sorpresa. Both were deliciously cooked and clean presentation.We ordered the Tamal Chocolate, which was ammmmmmmmmmazing. We are so excited to return for taco nights and to see the livemusic they have on Saturdays. This place is a gem! We sat close to the kitchen so we got to take a look at everything that cameout and it was so hard to not keep ordering more items. I unfortunately didn?t wear my stretchy pants. The pictures here don?tdo it justice. Oh and I almost forgot to tell you about the driiinnks I got the Jam Cider (lots of berries) and bae got theBuena Noche (pomegranate, mezcal, and I forgot what else). They were both so delicious! We are definitely ubering next time sowe can have more than one."
