All systems are go for a March 19 opening of Señor Tequila, a casual Mexican restaurant taking the place of Zanzibar Soul Fusion at Shaker Square (13114 Shaker Sq., 216-991-2035), which moved into the former Sarava spot.
Owner Marco Mendoza, who managed other Mexican restaurants, including Don Tequila in University Heights, says that diners can expect “a mix between Tex-Mex and authentic Mexican food.”
In addition to popular dishes like nachos, quesadillas, fajitas and burritos, guests will find less common dishes like shrimp ceviche, whole fried tilapia, street tacos and house made aguas frescas like tamarindo and horchata. The lengthy lunch and dinner menu features dozens of selections, most priced south of $12.
An all new decor, including a large bar, new paint and furniture imported from Mexico, will welcome guests. During warmer weather, diners can eat and drink on the large front patio.
Señor Tequila is part of a small group of independently owned and operated Mexican restaurants.

I ate there twice. Very low quality. Very disappointed. Won’t eat there again.
YUK!
Come on Cleveland you can do better than that! This food offends my taste buds!
I doubt is real people leaving feedback. You ate there twice already? Really?
I had lunch there on Saturday. So tasty! The staff was very friendly and the food was full of flavor. I will definitely dine there again and bring friends for happy hour!
We just ate there today. Very nice!! The atmosphere is great, the decor is beautiful and the people are friendly. Food was great, also. There wasn’t a lot of people at this time of day but I can see it being very busy during the warm months. I am confident that they will be very successful; they’re in a great spot on the Square with lots of foot traffic, car traffic and commuters every single day.
I will recommend to others!!
I have been a couple times. The food has always been amazing, and the service was great! The hostess was very nice and our server was a blast. The place was fairly busy, but that didn’t seem to have an affect on the food quality or service. The tables and chairs were beautiful, I love what they have done with the old Zanizibar, and I can’t wait for the patio to open. Everyone there seemed to be enjoying themselves and I can understand why. I am definitly going back!
Only downside is, no Friday specials or Happy Hour? They need to fix that.
The food is great; very high-quality ingredients, well-prepared. I got takout so I can’t rate the service
Very poor, service and food were not even one star. Will Never go again. They won’t be there long anyhow. Shaker Square is known for good food, and people will steer clear of this dog !
