“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 “
“We came to Cincinnati for business this weekOur mission was to find good food. Well, we found food that was AMAZING! Absolutely delicious and portioned perfectly. Service was good. There was a bit of a language barrier but, all around great. The environment was very comfortable. It has an outside patio with ceiling fans and a covered patio. It was the best!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options and vegan options“
“Simply incredible tacos, amongst the best I’ve ever had in my life and easily the best in Cincinnati. The al pastor is to die for. Seriously, just go to this place - it may look unassuming given it’s a food truck parked in a BP, but the food is top notch. The guys who work there are also super friendly, great service. Only downside is it’s cash only but a small inconvenience for such incredible food.“
“I don't normally leave high praise as I'm about to, but this restaurant deserves it. Service is quick and there's lots of memorabilia to check out. But the best part was the food, it is made as if someone actually put care into it! Definitely marking this place as a return in our future travels.“
“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.“
“I’m always on the hunt for legit Mexican food. I’ve been to their other location and was in this part of town so I figured I’d stop in. I ordered a Carne Asada burrito with Mexican rice, pinto beans, onion, cilantro, and pico. Then I asked for a side of red salsa. This burrito is so good! I’ll def be back. If you like spicy, ask for the red salsa. It was so tasty with great flavors, but it does pack a punch. So don’t eat it if you can’t handle spicy. I almost asked for another one to take home, it was that good.“
“They catered my cousins wedding and the tacos were fire! The ingredients were fresh and delicious. They were professional and delivered great service. Would recommend for catering or everyday tacos. Soo good! Picture attached to this review is after multiple family seconds.“
“Looove The Comet! Lots of non-alcoholic options and pretty good burritos. Any night of the week you might find a wide genre of music from hip hop to indie rock to noise, amazing comedy on Saturday, and Sunday the Comet Bluegrass All-stars.Sunday brunch is the BEST.“
“I was looking for a place with a fun atmosphere to improve a rainy day, and this did the job!The aesthetic is colorful and eclectic, the music is loud, there are drinks with fireworks, and birthday celebrations with drums :)This definitely isn't a place you would like if you are looking for quiet and relaxing.The food was very good in my opinion and in my son's opinion. I got the chicken quesadilla and my son got steak soft tacos... so we went basic in the whole scheme of things, but I really liked that there were onions and cilantro in both, and the meat was very flavorful and juicy. My son said that these were his favorite steak tacos.The hostess definitely could have put a smile on her face, but our server was very friendly and attentive.We live in NKY and this will be our new go-to for Mexican food!“
“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“
“Best Mexican food I've had since being in Mexico. The family that runs the place are amazing. Very friendly and prompt service. The drinks are so fun and super tasty! Desserts are out of this world! Try the churros, you wont be disappointed! I recommend this place to everyone!“
“This is legitimately one of the best tacos I’ve ever had. The flavors were just so good and not overly done, and the chips and salsa were equally good. The inside is a bit of a pigsty and I think they’re missing out on a lot of indoor potential.Don’t walk, run to this place.“
“. 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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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“
“Food is almost always excellent! My biggest beef is the reward program. I could come in every day for lunch and spend 7-10 $ and get a stamp each day for 35-50 dollars of food. I rarely eat there at lunch and most frequently take out dinner. Normally I take 3-4 entrees home consistently totaling 40-55 $ but only get ONE stamp on the card. Lets say I come in once a week and end up averaging 45$ each visit. that's 4 stamps for $180 of business in a month The lunch person spends 150-200$ and gets 20 stamps. Just doesn't make any sense.Vegetarian options: Most all dishes can be tweaked as meatless if desiredParking: Plaza parking always sufficient even on weekends“
“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!“
“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 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!“
“Amazing simple tacos at a modest looking (CASH ONLY) food truck! | Price $3 per taco | Rating 10/10There is not much to say about this taco and more truck. Stop by when we couldn't find food we wanted and will be back soon. Its a simple truck with a small parking lot and a little covering to avoid rain. Their menu is simple with tacos, quesadillas, burritos and a few other foods. Tacos are what we got for $3 each and we tried all their flavors.Everything was good but the lengua (beef tongue) tacos were the clear winner! They were juicy, lightly seasoned and like the other tacos they came on two corn tortillas with green and red sauce, onion, cilantro and the usually toppings. If you want a small meal I would go 3 tacos, if you are hungry or bigger 5 or 6. Me and my Gf split 7 for dinner.I have no complaints but things to know before you go. Cash only, outdoor, no seating, wait for your order, english spoken as second language.This is now my primary taco truck! Hope you enjoy!“
“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!“
“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.“
“No words for how good these tacos. We also tried the chicken chimichanga and that was delicious well. What really took the cake (or took the taco) was their guacamole. Clearly had just been made and was so good. The vibes inside are very fun, we sat at the counter. The spinning chairs slayed. We were in and out in less than an hour. Very quick and nice people.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Great little place for quick Mex. The guac, salsa, and queso were all really good. Small place, impressed they have both Modelo and Dos Equis Amber on draft. Plus lots of bottled beer. Some Mex joints struggle to carry good Mex beer. Recommend for a quick bite. Order at counter, food is delivered to table.“
“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!!!

“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.“
“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!“
“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“
“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.“

“One of my top taco trucks in the area is tacos locosIt’s hard finding a good taco in the TristateTacos locos definitely deliversMy go to is their chicken tacos with extra salsa verdeTheir chicken is so succulent and juicyI don’t even need to put lime on it it’s good the way it isThe salsa verde ( green salsa) is hot just the way I like itI only have 3 top taco spots that I love in the area and tacos locos is my go toThey also deliver via DoorDash!Love this truck!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“We stopped here to grab lunch one day and it was lovely! It was a beautiful day and a lovely patio outside to sit. The inside decor is really fun and very themed. The margaritas are strong!! Which was great for us! The food was delicious - chicken was cooked really well and had a lot of flavor. I'd absolutely recommend!“
“Cool ppl good food ?Be nice get nice be nasty get nasty sorry to all the haters for there horrible experienceSIKE y'all need to get a life each one of you complainers are a bunch of scammers and ppl who don't have a life so they try to mess someone else's up ?Parking: Dope“
