Mexican Restaurants near Cold Spring

“Great food and service! Love going to el nopal!“

“I want to start out by saying the food and service were second to none, we had a party of 3, the food came out very quickly, everything we ordered was amazing. We finished off with the cheesecake chimichanga, we opted to get strawberry syrup instead of chocolate syrup and left off the sprinkles. I highly recommend a visit if you've never been. The only complaint we had was the chips were a little well done, and the refried beans had a distinct taste, I'm thinking it was Goya. Either way you won't be disappointed!“

“I'm giving Taco Bell in Cold Spring 5 stars! Although it's a bit further away, the quality and service make it well worth the trip. My chalupas were perfectly cooked, unlike my previous experience at the Alexandria location. The staff were friendly and attentive, providing excellent service with a smile. My food was hot when I arrived home, and my quesadilla with beef was cooked just right. Thanks for a wonderful experience - I'll definitely be back!“

“Come and enjoy nice people and great food“

“Crown Cantina provided a exceptional dining experience last night. The kitchen is 100% gluten-free, offering a unique and refreshing change of pace. We started with the tostadas and salsa, which were delicious and had a nice kick. We also enjoyed the Hamachi, the Tijuanero (steak taco), and the large plate chicken enchiladas verde, all of which were made to order and full of flavor. The margaritas were also a highlight, with the ghost and guava margarita being a standout. All of their margaritas are crafted in-house, making them a healthier option. If you're looking for a high-end Mexican meal, Crown Cantina is a great choice.“

“Delicious tacos!!!!!!!!!! Tried them outside Bleachers last night. Will definitely look for your truck.“

“Alex was amazing! Great food! Pineapple margaritas are to die for! Def recommend!“

“I love this place the service is super friendly, we asked for chef recommendations and the chef came to our table that was exceptional, the drinks are really big and delicious and the food is good. We ordered an aguachile and it was delicious.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Absolutely loved this place! I came in craving some good Mexican food and left completely satisfied. I had the quesadilla and tacos — both were packed with flavor, fresh ingredients, and just the right amount of spice. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and what really stood out was the service. Our server, Jose, was fantastic — super friendly, attentive, and made great recommendations. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in the mood for delicious food and great service!“

“Awesome food. Great prices ;)“

“1/25/2025 First time here. Wonderful experience. The food was incredible. We had 2 special items for the week..the chicken tortilla soup and Alambre tacos. Food was fresh and extremely flavorful. The taco tortilla was lightly fried and was crispy, not gummy like most. We had the Elote(corn off the cob) topped with a lime Crema maybe that was the best I have ever had. Margarita was delicious and a large glass was only $9.00. The place looks small from the outside but dining room is open and pretty large. This will be on our rotation list of places to eat at least every two weeks! Mark and Tiffany“

“Is the best Mexican food in Cincinnati? Definitely. In Ohio? Probably. In the US? Gotta be top 25. This place is truly a gem and I can’t say enough good things about it. Everything we had, which was a lot, was a 10/10.“

“The enchiladas are divine!!!“

“If you don’t stop here you will never understand how freaking good these tacos are. Do yourself a favor and order one of the cachete tacos because they are so incredibly delicious!

Make sure you bring cash as they are cash only!“

“Very good and great service“

“First time there we celebrated a birthday, and WOW, these folks made it memorable and fun!! Best time ever! This is not a typical Mexican restaurant. The menu is loaded with amazing food from numerous countries in S. America. Huge portions (food AND drink!) at reasonable prices and everything we tried was over-the-top delish! We've returned num times...our new favorite place to eat with consistently great food/drinks!“

“This is the best Mexican food in Cincy and NKY. Drinks are phenomenal too. I highly recommend it.“

“Great food, great service. Loved their nacho trio and 3 taco combo. Great GFDF options available.“

“El Barril is a really awesome Mexican joint we found in Mount Adam's in Cincinnati. It had both indoor and outdoor seating but on this day we decided on the inside. The restaurant looks really super fun with lots of tremendous decor with even the chairs being unique (and comfortable too.) They had a lot of unique takes on Mexican dishes (lots of unique burgers on the menu for one) as well as some classic favourites. We started with an appetizer of Buffalo Chicken Dip which was a straightforward take on it. It had lot's of chicken, a very flavourful but not too spicy Buffalo sauce, and some blue cheese mixed in. It was served with chips. This was as good of take as I've had on a Buffalo Dip that I've had from anyplace. For my main course I tried the Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos which was 3 hard tacos served with grilled shrimp topped with spicy Bang Bang sauce as well as cilantro. This was very unique but very delicious all the same. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and that sauce I would describe as zesty with a slight punch but not too much. Really liked them a lot. My wife enjoyed her Margarita as well as her food (I believe it was a pork dish but I forgot to take a picture). This was a super fantastic lunch and I for one can't wait to come back.“

“Great Food!!! Love the Mexican Pad Thai.“

“Muy buenos precios y ambiente familiar“

“Wow, where do I begin? I was there for lunch, and the garage doors were open which created a great atmosphere. The food was flat out amazing and so flavorful. The wings were also on point. I would not typically order wings from a taco joint, but after being advised they're great, we tried them and I can't disagree! Magnificent. And the sauce they serve is far from a conventional wing sauce, but it's delicious! I highly recommend this place in every aspect. Oh, and the staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and punctual. Ohh, and DEFINITELY try the spicy margarita. Best marg of that type I've ever had. Smoky. Great stuff all around. ?“

“Always good food, big portions and friendly service!“

“We went here for my husbands 34th birthday…The service was great fast and well mannered servers …Food was great hot and Tasty and prices are not that expensive…but I loved sitting on the patio able to see The sunset ….I recommend to anybody looking for good Mexican food..“

“Great place . First time visiting. The decor is beautiful and if the weather were a bit warmer we would have sat outside in the courtyard area. Promptly greeted and I believe we were speaking with the owner. He told us everything is in house made. The tortillas are made in the corner of the restaurant at a mini station. Definitely can taste the difference . Our tacos were so delicious and the presentation was so nice . Love supporting local restaurants and we will definitely be back.“

“We had Gomez cater our wedding & it was a HIT! We booked them immediately at our taste testing! Jen with her communication was top tier & so friendly! Thank you Gomez team for all you did!“

“Amazing Tacos😋 best in town“

“Great food , not too heavy“

“Service was great as well as the authentication Mexican food“

“Love the place, been going for years on occasions and getting the same dishes every time. Had the best server I've had last night (was not paying attention to the name but a man with a mustache and scruff) who asked me the first time if I wanted to add carrot puree in place of the cheese (no dairy) on the cauliflower tacos. I've been served them so many times and nobody had ever recommended that. 10/10 service and food, they were so much better with that puree on them“

“We ordered dinner here. Doordash driver did not pick up the second bag of our order. Upon calling the store, they immediately sent someone to delivery the missed item, as well as including a small treat in the bag. The staff here always go the extra mile.“

“Delicious! Most authentic we’ve had since moving from FL! You MUST try the carne asada!“

“First time eating here and absolutely loved it! The turtle is amazing. Rich flavors. Great menu variety. Nice portions and the staff was friendly and super helpful for first timers. Strongly recommend stopping in and trying this place! We will be back!“

“Best tripa tacos in greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area. Can't go wrong with any of the tacos on the menu, but tripa is my favorite for both the crisp and the chew. Love the menudo and wish it was available every day instead of just the weekend.Super quick service and always delicious salsa.

Parking: This section of Madison Ave usually has plenty of street parking on both sides“

“The food was amazing as always.
I absolutely love the Machaca, and you can only get it here!
My husband got the Bandera Burrito and loved it too. The service is always top notch, and the entire family are some of the best people you'll ever meet. Shonda took care of us and was very nice, helpful, and attentive. We enjoy the cozy atmosphere and the music. If you want authentic Mexican in this area look no further than Soco's!
They are celebrating their 40th anniversary this year. I have been coming here ever since they opened.“

“Great fast service quality food and inexpensive“

“The service was great, very nice and quick to service us. Drinks were there in only a few minutes!.. Margaritas are the best! Manger came out and addressed us asking if all was good. Food was great and our waitress was amazing. She boxed our leftovers and bagged them for us.“

“Service is always good, and I love their Tropicana Quesadillas. Thank you El Jinete.“

“Absolutely heaven! 🌮 Every bite here takes me straight back to Mexico — the flavors are authentic, fresh, and bursting with love. Super Taco Tuesday truly lives up to its name, and I can’t get enough. If you’re craving real, Mexican-style tacos, this is the place to be!“

“It’s a great place to have a happy hour get together with coworkers or a meal with family.“

“Everything was fresh and delicious, but the birria ramen was the star of the show! So good!!“

We had a veggie meals, bean burrito, cheese enchilada with rice and bean.??My husband had 2 enchiladas, refried beans, and rice!! We will be back with friends and give a shout-out to our hungry neighbors.

Vegetarian options: You will not be disappointed with the rice and beans alone! Gauc was the best!!!
