My wife and I are so happy to have discovered Deseo Modern Mexican. We just returned from a vacation in New England and since I am still off work decided to go out. We stumbled on this and after reading the menu decided to try it and it did not disappoint. We ordered the oysters to share but they were out and the owner kindly substituted the fish tacos which were superb. Served tapas style they are designed to share. I ordered the I ordered the queso fresco dip served cold with warm crostini and cold cucumbers and my wife had seared scallops with roasted corn and sausage that were delicious. For dessert a soaked vanilla cake with toasted meringue that was sublime. If you want a great meal, wonderful atmosphere and excellent service you must check out this gem. Our server was Stephanie.

We swung by deseo for the first time ever and didn't know quite what to expect. While their items might share a name with other Mexican restaurants in the area, Deseo does them on a whole different level. The food is served tapas style so you share a plate with the table. We got 4 different types of tacos (with 4 tacos on a plate) and loved the Camerones (shrimp) so much we had to order another plate of them. The drinks were also really good and we also got a bowl of Mexican street corn (esquites). The price for everything was more than you'll spend at a normal mexican restaurant but the flavors are out of this world! A big round of applause for Tim our waiter. He was super nice and friendly and did great at giving us suggestions and explaining things.

Amazing flavors and great presentation. Chips were thick and crispy; variety of salsas each were unique and flavorful. Tacos are good proportioned and filling. Margaritas were fresh and smooth. Limited seating, but good decor. A little pricy, but not your typical Mexican restaurant

Deseo is an absolute gem in Toledo! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the upscale decor and inviting ambiance—it’s modern, chic, and perfect for a date night or gathering with friends. The fresh-made margaritas were a highlight, perfectly balanced and so refreshing.
The tapas-style menu is fantastic for sharing and exploring new flavors, but the standout for us was the tuna tartar—amazingly fresh and full of flavor. It’s a must-try!
We visited on a Sunday night, and while it wasn’t busy, this place deserves to be packed. The food, drinks, and atmosphere are all top-notch. If you haven’t been, you’re missing out—give Deseo a try and support this incredible local spot!
