    The shrimp tacos and the chicken tacos were absolutely delicious. I would order again. The battleground margarita was fresh and delicious as well. A wonderful neighborhood place to hang out.

    Battleground Mexican Kitchen was an excellent choice for this year's Mother's Day Brunch. All our dishes looked great and full of flavor. The portion sizes were just right. The place is well kept, and staff was polite and friendly.

    Great service and food. Disappointed by craft beer options considering its affiliation with DYV.

    Horrible service. Not because the server was bad, but because she had way too many customers to deal with.

    This is the best authentic Mexican food. Servers were wonderful and it is always possible to speak to the bar tender about your drink.

    This is definitely not the average “Mexican” restaurant. I enjoy tequila but don’t care for the overly-sweet drinks you find at most places. The margaritas that I had here were very good and nicely balanced Their preparation of Queso Fundido was more authentic than you typically see. My husband order a seasonal special for his entree - the Pozole Mexican stew - which he said was excellent. My Arroz y Cameron shrimp bowl was also very good; just too much! Our service from Nathan was also exceptional. We had not been here in a while because they always appear to be too crowded. I am glad they have joined Open Table!
