“I had the Lunch Fajitas, and although they were delicious, I thought the portion size was a little small (but it's lunch so...?) Everything else was very good and it is a nice, truly cozy place. The service was good and the prices were not outrageous, so I'll probably be back soon.“
“It’s a minor complaint, but they don’t have sauces and such out for you to grab. They also just hand you a bag of food instead of a tray for dine in. Just doesn’t seem dine in friendly. It’s a nice dining room though. ***added another star: this place has the urinal cake that turns the “water” blue as you aim for it, making it a productive experience. IYKYK“
“If the only reason you come here is where the guacamole and avocado jalapeño margaritas, you will not be disappointed! The guacamole is the best I’ve ever had. It is topped with these charred vegetables that are incredibly flavorful. We also shared a variety of tacos and large plates. Enchiladas are saucy and delicious, and then we had Carne Asada which everyone loved as well.. I advise saving room for dessert because the night we were there they had flan - which I really enjoyed because it’s more cheesy than eggy (that might not be 100% accurate, but I really like the texture). Couple that with an el jefe cocktail and you’ve got yourself a winning combination!Vegetarian options: Guacamole- oh so devine! Sweet potato tacos!Dietary restrictions: Their entire menu is gluten-free“
“We went during restaurant week so we had a mix of a few items across thr menu including the guacamole, salads, tacos and of course a margarita. Everything was delicious BUT do not sleep on these salads. I know... salad on taco Tuesday? YES only if its that Johnny salad at Bakersfield! The margs are delightful, the tequila was flowing around us, and tacos that come out by the platterful. What could be better?“
“Best birria than anywhere. we go here all the time. So good. I love the guti fries. Sunday brunch is always lit. The only reason they don't get 5 stars is because the flavor of the food is not consistent. Some days it's flavorful and some days it's bland. I guess it depends on who's “
“This place has a 4.9 rating (at the time of this review) for good reason. The food is always super fresh at a super reasonable price. The owners are great as well. It is both vegetarian and meat-eater friendly. Do yourself a favor and stop by.Parking: In addition to street parking, there is a huge community parking lot behind the building that is free.“
“By far, it is one of the best places I have been able to visit while traveling. The food is great and authentic, the price is good, and the atmosphere is top-notch! If you are in the area please visit this place. I hope to be back next time we are in the Cinci area.“
“I have come to this location about four times now. Every time has been wonderful! They have the best tortilla chips of any Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. They're extremely crispy and delicious. Salsa is also clearly homemade and very tasty. Overall we had a wonderful experience.“
“One of my favorite restaurants in cincinnati. Whenever people ask me where to go this is what I tell them. My favorite dish is the chipotle udon noodles! I also love the teriyaki tofu tacos. My husband loves the wings but especially the sauce that comes with it. Great fusion restaurant that has something for everyone“
“. This tiny taqueria is a gem. The food is fresh and sublimely delicious!. I LOVE THIS PLACE !. The Guacamole is great.. The Camarones Tacos (shrimp tacos) features 3 small soft tacos with tender, boiled shrimp, shredded cabbage, guac, and the most wonderful Tamarind sauce (sweet and fruity).. The Carnitas Tacos (pork tacos; 3 small soft tacos) has tender flavorful morsels of pork, with onion, guac, and a savory sauce- only slightly spicy.. I recommend the refreshing house-made limeade, called Agua de Limon.. This restaurant is a tiny, very narrow, storefront. Of the two exterior doors on Main Street, enter the left (In) door; when you leave, you use the other door.. The restaurant interior has colorful wall murals and just a few small tables in the back of the space. They do offer carry-out.. Parking on Main Street is limited, but there is one (pay) public lot just across Main Street, and another (pay) public parking lot about 1/2 block away at 7th and Main.“
“The turtle was great! Definitely well worth $15. The chicken was seasoned, it was full of toppings and the cheese on the outside made it crunchy. Perfect taco!What I didn't like was if you eat in, you can't just leave a tab open, you have to pay for each beer and item separately...I would come back for the food tho!“
“Great place for a modern Mexican meal. We had a combination of dishes from Pollo Monterrey and Flautas to firecracker shrimp and Chicharrones. As we enjoyed our drinks the chef came out with a complimentary hors d’oeuvre that he was looking for our input on…It was great!!! Service and atmosphere are excellent.“
“I just came back from Mexico City. I could’ve saved myself thousands of dollars by just staying in my city and enjoying these excellent tacos. This place authentic is better than your best taco spot. Meat is so tender. Ingredients are fresh. Please support this business.“
“Street tacos were tasty - Al Pastor (marinated pork with pineapple) was the way to go. Great mix of savory and slight sweetness characteristic of the dish. The Birria was delicious too, but a little salty. Toppings were right on - fresh cilantro and onions. Salsa and tortilla chips were homemade. Super friendly service and smiling faces. The whole experience was great.“
“It’s small like you would expect, but the service is just ok. You order at the counter and then they call your name when it’s ready. They have a variety of sauces you can try with your taco. ?We recommend the birria tacos; they were delicious and the sauce with it was perfect. I also got an to pastor taco and it was good too.They have the Mexican coke which I can never refuse ?It’s a bit expensive for tacos and not my favorite place but still good“
“The food and service were great. The first time we sat outside as they have a large outdoor dining area, the next time we sat inside. Both times the food and service have been amazing. The arroz con pollo was my favorite but the chori pollo has taken the lead. Either way you can't go wrong. If you can take the heat, ask for the homemade hot sauce, you may or not regret it.“
“We dined in for a late lunch/early dinner around 3PM on a Saturday. Parking was easy, and there were only a few other people eating at the same time as us. We were impressed with the quality, speed of service, and large serving size of the food that we ordered. Our table shared the Chips & Dip Sampler, and I enjoyed the Bandito Super Bowl. Not only is the food great, but the interior aesthetic is unique and fun. Highly recommend checking this place out!“
“Hear this was opening and so glad we stopped in. We were greeted and showed to our table immediately. The staff was so happy and friendly- it was contagious! The indoor was so clean and the painting on the wall were amazing. The chips, salsa and queso were so good. Our entrees came quickly and hot. Everything was so good and there was so much we had to take it with us. They told us they are opening another side and a patio. Can't wait to come back!!“
“I've had less than stellar luck with more traditional Mexican food in Kentucky. And the ones that have had some level of promise have price tags that don't make sense. Don't expect a never ending pile of chips at San Miguel but you should expect some of the best tacos you've had in a very very long time. If you are craving Traditional style with 2 corn tortillas and a pile on onion and cilantro, this is your place. I took a tour of the tacos with chorizo, langua, carnitas, and al pastor. Hoping to find what they were strongest in if I were to come back. I will be back and I'd be thrilled with any of the above. The gf went with a chorizo quesadilla. I was excited because she rarely finishes a plate and that means I get her scraps! The dilla was pretty large but she said she just couldn't stop eating it. I did get a couple bites and it was perfect. I can't wait to go back“
“Small little establishment serving Tex Mex style fare including tacos, burritos, and a familiar Taco Bell-esque favorite. What is Gomez's claim to fame, The turtle is everything you wanted in a Crunchwrap supreme dialed up to 11. You can customize it with various meats and heat styles. I went with the Diablo carnitas turtle, and boy was it delicious! So flavorful and so hot! Good choice for spice lords looking for a kick in the butt! We also got a side of chips and salsa verde, and it was fresh and tasty. Ambiance reminded me of an old pub or friendly bar. Service was decent and fast!“
“A bunch of us walked over from our hotel while on a business trip and they were able to seat us quickly and serve us quickly.Service was excellent, fast and polite.Food was very good. Came to the table very quickly and they had served in order of the way the orders were taken which was great. Pork el pastor tacos in the video.Atmosphere was very nice, we say outside as it was nice and we enjoyed it.Enjoy!Wheelchair accessibility: Street level, open concept.“
“El Rio Grande offers an exceptional dining experience with its mouth watering Xangos dessert, a true delight!The Fajita sizzler for 2 is a generous feast capable of satisfying even a group of 4, boasting ample portions, freshly prepared sides, and flavorful sauces.The outstanding service complements the delectable cuisine, making it a must-visit destination for lovers of Mexican cuisine seeking quality and quantity in equal measure.Vegetarian options: Every dish can easily be made vegetarian by simply removing the meat and adding in some refried or black beans.Dietary restrictions: When you make a reservation at a restaurant, be sure to tell the staff about any dietary restrictions or preferences you have. If they can't accommodate you, they may be able to recommend other restaurants that can.Parking: On busy days spots directly in front of the restaurant fill up quickly, but there is plenty of parking in the parking areas adjacent to the exact location.Kid-friendliness: A warm and inviting atmosphere with plenty of room at the tables, colorful seating and wall decorations as well as enough ambient music to ensure even those children that are a bit loud won't disturb others.Wheelchair accessibility: This location has no barriers to entry and both front doors are wheelchair width and easily navigable. There is a slight curb directly in front of the restaurant but a ramp on the right hand side of the sidewalk.“
“This place was awesome. I moved here 3 yrs ago from Oklahoma, where there is a food truck every other corner. So I know my street tacos. Absolutely amazing and I have been looking for a place that serves elotes en Vasa. And they had it and it was delicious. Highly recommend.“
“Never have been anywhere where the service is this exquisite. I've got to say the thing that sold me on this place was my server Jasmine. She was extremely attentive, made wonderful recommendations, and it was very clear she cared about us and our well being. We came in from out of town and we were honeymooning in Cincinnati and scouting colleges for our future children. Because Jasmine is a pre dental second year undergraduate student majoring in biology, minoring in chemistry, organic chemistry, finance, real estate, and something else I don't remember she had a lot to say about the school. I will not be sending my children to the school but I will send them to work here at Drunken Taco because she is a great role model. Anyway, the food was good and cool environment as well and I will for sure recommend my friends who are coming here next month for their honeymoon to go to Drunken, because of Jasmine. Apparently they had a rager the other night too and we would have gone but Jasmine recommended the aquarium but we quite enjoyed, expensive but because of Jasmine we had a great time. Finally, 10/10 service from Jasmine and I will be so lucky if my kids grow up to be like Jasmine because Jasmine is the best.“
“The best secret in NKY! We always order carry out as times may very when dining in. The food is so, so good. Everything is scratch made by a wonderful family from Guatamala. Birria Grilled Cheese, fish tacos, massive tortas! so many great options.“
“Cancun Mexican Bar & Grill is a solid Mexican restaurant in a great location near downtown Cincinnati. The service here us quick and the servers are all very welcoming and friendly, the interior of the restaurant is charming and contributes to a fun atmosphere, and the food is great (not the best I’ve had, but still great). I’ll also NEVER complain about free chips & salsa.“
“We eat here 3 to 4 times a week most weeks! Sometimes carry out sometimes eat in.No matter which way we get our food it is ALWAYS GOOD!I can not say enough about the staff… ALWAYS FRIENDLY ALWAYS KIND!Although I have one server I like ( he always remembers what we drink and our orders)All of the servers are great!And the manager is GREAT!You won’t regret eating here!“
“Our server, Austin, made several suggestions since it was our first time eating at Frida. Hard to choose because everything sounded delicious but we ordered the salsa sampler and 4 different tacos (my husband made his a platter & we shared the refried beans & rice). Everything was delicious & fresh. Will definitely go back to try other entrees on the menu.“
“"Mexican food so authentic, Donald Trump wants to build a wall around it."This is scrawled in chalk behind the main register in the place and I have to say, I agree! I had the pollo con mole. Homemade mole sauce was to die for. Burritos were stuffed and all the ingredients were fresh. The salsa had just the right amount of heat and loads of cilantro. The ambiance was awesome with the store in the back and the eclectic décor and different levels and whatnot. There was a couple celebrating their anniversary who invited their waiter to take a shot, and he did. It felt like having dinner with my extended family. If you're in the area, I highly recommend it. Worth the walk away from the Levee.“
“There are four of us that go every Monday evening. The food is delicious; we usually have chicken or steak fajitas and frozen margaritas for $3.99 on Mondays. The staff is friendly and very attentive to needs.The restrooms are cleaner than any restaurant I've been in and they smell very good. I guarantee you will love this restaurant.P.S. if you shop Kroger Crossroads, the back of your receipt will include a $5.00 coupon.“
“Food was awesome our server Melody, by the way Good Luck at UC. Graduation. Was outstanding, polite . This was our 1st. Time , and we will be back. House margaritas were very satisfying. Good luck to El Barrill and our Server Melody, also this restaurant is Pet Friendly.“
“This place is fun you can get drinks and food it has Mexican it has hamburgers wings and more!!! They do karaoke on the weekends… the severs are fun and they are nice and keep up with everything!!!Vegetarian options: They have a vegetarian menuDietary restrictions: If you have a dietary restriction they will work with you.Parking: They have a good size park lotKid-friendliness: They have a good kid friendly foodsWheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp and they make sure that everyone has access to the floor and the bathroom“
“Friendly greeting, terrific service. Sat at a booth near the bar. The experience was great. I was not impressed with my chicken taco salad, but my husband loved his order. Salsa was good, but I didn't love the chips. Huge draft beer at a good price in a frosty mug. Service, atmosphere and location were so good I would try again.“
“DEAREST CANCUNI've been walking or driving to your location for over a decade solo or with friends or family or colleagues.I have always appreciated the beautiful service (always delivered with a smile) and being served hot chips with delicious salsa as a welcomed gift while waiting to order is a truly classy move. I'm mostly pescatarian these days, but sometimes I still like to order the steak fajitas with the bell peppers and onions, the beans, rice, guacamole, and warm flour tortillas. It's a nice treat sometimes and it has only ever come out exactly perfectly (to my eyes and taste buds).My own niece absolutely adores this place because of the fish artwork. But her FAVORITE is right up the road by the bowling alley (but only because the fish are "real fish" in the aquariums).THANK YOU, ALWAYS!Sincerely,Christine“
“He Said: We got here at 9 after a longish drive and were concerned they were closing early when we saw they had chairs up on tables and just a few folks left, but they welcomed us in. The remaining patrons all seemed to know each other or the staff so there was lots of fun chatter and people enjoying a calm Friday night. We ordered a well-earned margarita and, based on previous reviews, knew to ask for the other salsas they have (other than what they bring with the basket of chips). The habañero one is properly spicy and still tasty and the tomatillo one was bright and flavorful. Because I grew up eating them in San Diego I ordered taquitos and they were great. They were clearly hand-rolled and with a generous amount of beef inside. So good. She Said: I was so happy to see this place within easy walking distance of our hotel, and we were welcomed with a smile despite arriving as they were obviously cleaning up for the night. The margarita hit the spot, and we tried to refrain from filling up on chips and salsa--as He noted the salsa was great. The chips weren't anything special, but just served as vehicles for the tasty salsa, so that's fine. The true star of the show was the pork in the carnitas tacos. I'm not exaggerating when I say it was some of the best meat I've ever had in a taco. It was perfectly cooked and its flavor was complemented by the toppings--especially if you mix the tomatillo salsa with just a bit of the habanero. All in all, i would be happy to eat one of these tacos every day for the rest of my life, and I'm sad that I'll probably never be coming through this town again and won't get to have another. But the memory will live on! Potty Points: No trip to the potty for me this time!“
“I was really surprised by the speed with which our food was delivered, a little faster than in other Mexican food restaurants that I have been to and not to mention the literal place was fullVegetarian options: Because what I could read on the menu has several vegetarian dishes.Parking: It is next to the holiday inn and close to the Cincinnati Botanical Gardens.Kid-friendliness: Of course my children liked it a lot because of the prepared corn and the mango comingWheelchair accessibility: Gave“
“The food is great. The atmosphere is good except for one thing. They have a middle room where the toilet doors open directly out into the dining area. Plus the lighting in that room is sort of yellow greenish and it's quite stark. That particular room needs an interior designer redo ASAP. Other than that, it is awesome. The food is delicious and there is a wide variety of great dishes The frozen margaritas are superb. It's a fun, affordable Mexican place.“
“Always enjoy my time at Cancun's!!!Best Mexican restaurant around.Parking: More options in parking. Lot to small to accommodate restaurants available.Wheelchair accessibility: There is accessibility in one area, although you may have to park real far from ramp, parking lot to small to accommodate restaurants available.“
“A very enjoyable lunch with great food and atmosphere. I came for lunch and it was busy with families and men clearly on break from a work site. My only slight complaint is that while the chairs and benches are wonderfully decorated they are also a little uncomfortable if you want to sit back. You will find sports on the TV and a well stocked bar of liquor. Having my coke served in a bottle was kind of a fun treat as well.“
“So when we went on vacation to Ohio and me and my partner ate here and yeah the food was great but the waiter we had was amazing. This was in October and I just think about him from time to time. I hope he has a good night. We had the best time and he made our night great ya know? If we ever find ourselves in Ohio again, will for sure be coming back. I wish I knew his name. He deserves everything good in the world to happen to him.“
“Service - Upon entering, I saw a sign telling me to wait to be seated, so I did. I waited 7 minutes before a server who was rolling silverware told me that I could seat myself anywhere, and then apologized for not having seen me earlier. Then, I only saw her once during my meal.Food - I had the mixed fajitas and a sweet tea. While the chips and salsa were really good, their fajitas were missing something. The beef and chicken were a little bland. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't great.“
“Place was empty and we sat in the deck in the back. I had a Blue Moon draft with two samosas that were delicious. My friend had the veggie burger and said it was very good as well. Samosas and beer $12. Food comes out of a trailer in the parking lot and in take-out containers. Still, a perfect light snack to have with your drink. Great deal, good place to hang out with friends. I recommend.“
“Wish they were open more! Best lunch spot in fountain square. I got a chicken rice bowl with lots of toppings and the house vin. the staff is a very efficient and keeps you moving down the line quickly. They do a great job restocking and making sure everything is available and fresh. Pretty quiet in here on a Monday but they have good music!“
“I spent a fair amount of time in the '90s traveling on business to Mexico City, and one of my colleagues there loved a hugely popular taco stand near the center of the business district. They were revelations, half rolled soft tacos with delectable fillings unlike anything I'd had in the States. The tacos at this unassuming little West side gem taste EXACTLY like the ones I remember from the Distrito Federal, authentic and flavorful and 1/4 of a mile from my house. I've had the al pastor, pollo, fish, barbacoa, veggies, and the amazing squash blossom fillings, and they all rock. They also have a variety of other handheld items and platos, but the tacos are so freaking good that I haven't tried them. Bienvenido al barrio, amigos!“
“This was not my first time at a Hot Head Burritos but it was my first time in a while. The Newport location was fantastic. We had 7 people in our party and we all loved our food. I had a toasted burrito. The sauce that I chose was the southwest ranch and will definitely get it again. Unlike other burrito locations, Hot Head offers a lot of sauces/flavor options. The staff were all friendly and attentive. I am glad that we chose to go there and will become regulars. Thank you for great food and service.“
“I had Moe's the other day for the first time with a work thing so I decided to head here and see what all the talk was about. This place is a great place to have some eats. Blows chipotle out of the water without question. And, to top it off they give you more chips if you take the tray up to the counter and ask for more.“
“Having lived in California and Texas for years, I've become skeptical of eating anything called Mexican food away from a border state. However...while El Toro Bravo is more Tex-Mex than actual Mexican, I'm glad I gave this place a chance. The steak and rice I ate was perfectly respectable and very flavorful. The waiters were as nice as they could be. And, it seemed like everybody in the neighborhood was in there, as indicated by how hopping the restaurant was. I'd return.“
“Feels like your typical Mexican restaurant. It has it's ups and downs, but mostly up. They offer every type of Mexican dish you would expect. Employees are nice and food is good. I keep going back. The churros and jalapeno margs are excellent!“
“March 10,2024 730pm Omg I have an obsession with the guacamole I wanted 2sides and some chips but ended butOrdering the Guac chips quesadilla barbacoa and chunky salsa sour cream Guac on the side the black girl with the dreads made it omgggg that’s my new fave!!!! great job …“
“We have had dinner here 3 times recently! Always looking for local establishments to support! Highly recommend this one! The servers have been wonderful!! All the food we have choosen has been very good! Every time our son comes in town we try a new place between here and Cincinnati and so far this has been his favorite! He had the street tacos and raved about them! It does take just a little bit of time to get our food however, it is 100% worth it because it’s so fresh and hot and very tasty! please do give this place a try, you won’t regret it!“
