Mariposa is inspired by Mexico’s rich culture and profound beauty. Imagine biting into an authentic, handmade taco with fresh ingredients, perhaps paired with a perfectly balanced margarita, surrounded by vibrant colors, artwork, and décor.
Mariposa delivers authentic Mexican flavors while being approachable and unique. With over 10 authentic tacos to choose from, the menu also includes starters, large plates, sides, desserts and options for kids. We have unique margaritas, hand-crafted cocktails, and an impressive array of wine, tequila and mezcal.
Mariposa is the perfect location for a date night, family gathering, or grabbing a drink with a friend. Some nearby attractions include The Midland Theatre, The Works, Canal Market District, and Thirty One West.

It’s a cute restaurant. The menu is a little limited, but there are vegetarian options for my son, so we frequent the place. Staff is always friendly, and they have good drinks. Food tastes excellent, although a little heavy sometimes.

Our server was attentive and each dish well prepared- the mahi mahi and chorizo tacos are a meal by themselves! The mariposa margarita requires more than one sampling - we will all be back - it was a great birthday celebration.

This is the 2nd time I have eaten there. The margaritas are very good. I had a chicken taco and mahi fish taco. Both delicious. The only reason I gave a 4 star for the food is the chicken tortilla soup was very salty. It was also very thick - which was good.

We were met at the door by staff. Got to pick a seat in a booth. Had a soup special (excellent). Had a flight of margharitti's. What a great idea! Three choices (recommended by the waitress). We had a burrito and enchilada. Very good. The beutiful Licking County Courthouse is across the street. Newark, on the square, is very nice.

The food was amazing, the salsa is so fresh and delicious. We really like the hot sauce, great flavor. They have a good selection of beer and the spicy pickle margarita is the best!! Not to mention the service is top notch. We never had to ask for anything, water was always refreshed, and our chips never ran out. We really appreciate the attention to detail…our compliments to the chef and entire team, thank you!! Looking forward to our next visit.

We were the only table in the restaurant when we showed up initially and the service still left something to be desired. They were out of a few items on the menu and the service was substandard. It took too long to get drinks refilled, including water. Our server stopped by our table with a pitcher of water in her hand, we asked for refills and she said she would be right back as soon as she took care of her other table. I ordered the Tequila Salmon and for a dinner portion it was very small, two inches by four inches. This would have been a perfect lunch portion but not for dinner. I’m sure this restaurant will stay open due to the lack of good places to eat in town, although I will not be returning due to the poor service and small portions.

I absolutely love the interior design, decor, and ambiance of this restaurant. It’s chic, somewhat rustic, and very lovely. My friend and I went once when it first opened for dinner, and while we loved our drinks on that occasion, we weren’t overly impressed with our food. This time we thought we’d try it out for brunch. They have a large brunch menu plus a weekly special. There were several items on it that looked great and was hard to choose on. I went with the chorizo eggs benedict and the lemon lychee margarita. Both were delicious. Our server was quick and attentive and very friendly. Definitely looking forward to going again for brunch sometime soon.

Service was bad. Waited forever for water and the staff kept saying they'd be right back only for another person to come past and get the water later or chips or whatever. Kitchen was slow. Food was just ok. They have good ideas but need to refine them. Very nice decor. Desert was lackluster.
