Mexican Restaurants near Cold Spring

“First time at this restaurant and was very impressed with the food and service. Waiter arrived at our table immediately after being seated tp take our drink order and returned in just a couple of minutes. He asked if we needed a few minutes to look at the menu. He returned in just a few minutes to take our order. I swear we had our food in less than 10 minutes which was hot and served on a very hot plate. The food, talapia with rice and veggies and the El Burro Grande was delicious! We will definitely go back. Highly recommend it!!“

“this was seriously, the best burger I’ve ever had in my life, It was technically grilled chicken, but whatever. I’ve never taken a picture of my food unless something looks funny, but it was literally so delicious. I had to take a picture. It’s called Hawaiian burger. It’s only 11 bucks with a huge plate of fries not to mention the fact that this burger is literally bigger than my head.“

“Every time I visit this location the staff is friendly and food is great! They don’t skimp on the food and it’s always hot!!

“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.“

“Come and enjoy nice people and great food“

“Best tacos around! Especially the Birria!“

“Good food, great pricing, cool vibe. Can be busy during peak time but the food is always worth it. My bf and I visit almost weekly and there's always a variety of different people. Guti Fries/nachos and queso with a marg is always our order. Can't go wrong for a good date night spot. No parking lot but always a street spot near by“

“best mexican food in cincinnati! you order at the counter, find a spot (there’s plenty of outdoor seating compared to inside), and they’ll bring your food out. tacos, quesadillas, guacamole, queso – all delicious and authentic.

disclaimer: please be patient with the staff. during my recent visits, i’ve noticed some people getting frustrated because many of the employees speak limited english. be kind, speak a little slower, and show some patience. everyone here is wonderful, and we should welcome them to our city.“

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

“barria tacos were off the chain“

“Delicious!! Had a couple of keto tacos. They were absolutely amazing! Thank you for the keto options!!“

“The best tacos I’ve had in this city…..“

“New FB Page- COMAL_at_FortThomas“

“Best restaurant I have been to in a while. The service was top-notch, the food was AMAZING, and the atmosphere made you feel like it was a party for the entire place. We had a party of 30+ people and they accommodated us with no problem and we didn't have a reservation. The only thing was we should have had more waiters. This place is so worth the trip!!!“

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

“Authentic Mexican food right in downtown Cincinnati! I found this gem when staying downtown for business. I had a Carne Asada plate. Plenty of delicious food. The meat, rice and beans were on point. Friendly service. The ambiance is great. A great place to try if you are interested in having some real and authentic Mexican food.“

“Never once had a bad experience. It is cash only but they’re always quick, everything tastes amazing. I mistakenly ordered extra on accident due to miscommunication and they didn’t make me pay for it which I would’ve been fine doing so.
My favorite is the shrimp tacos or quesadillas, it will have you daydreaming about how much you want more“

“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. ?“

“I went for the first time and I give it a 10, the food is very good and they serve you the plate very full, with one they eat two (depends on what you order), but in general it is worth going to eat.

Vegetarian options: Fajita vegetariana“

“Food was great! The service, not so much. The waitress didn’t get my order right, and never was seen once near our table to check on our food until the checks, so I couldn’t get the message out; I did eventually tell the host about the wrong order, and the chef himself came out and apologized and gave me a to go on the house.“

“Good food. Laid back atmosphere!“

“good authentic tacos, would definitely recommend.“

“We dined at Nada for the first time tonight and received exceptional service from our waiter Jordan. We are visiting from out of town and asked for recommendations for bars after our dinner. He let us know he was still new to the area however he came back to our table with a list of bars and areas to check out. It’s the little things like this that make a big difference!!“

“I love this restaurant!! The food is outstanding. My family and I have NEVER had a bad meal there. The waiters are fantastic and we are always shocked at how fast our food arrives. This is by far my favorite Mexican restaurant in Cincinnati!“

“Muy buenos precios y ambiente familiar“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Great fast service quality food and inexpensive“

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

“I see some negative comments. I don't believe the reviewers realize what Zapata is about. Frankly, I find it refreshing that dishes are not smothered in cheese and drowning in sauce. Zapata is about combining flavors, and not marching to the beat of the typical Americanized version of Mexican food to which we have become accustomed. I recommend it to all my friends.“

“Only couple negative reviews but for silly reasons. They say typical mexican food nothing ground breaking..wait..what?? I go to mexican restaurants for authentic mexican food. The tacos are not dry and plain. They're good. Tortilla fresh evrything ive had has been great. But ya know we're in Hyde Park darling...Hahahah whatever.. this is a Great place, nice, friendly staff!! A sleeper for good mexican food. Fresh tortillas. A must. Summertime with patio will be real nice. Get in and check em out. Quit crying be humble“

“I had an amazing experience at this Bubbakoo's location! The place was spotlessly clean, and the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the burritodillo and some jalapeño poppers. The burritodillo was massive; I couldn't finish it all! The poppers were just perfect. I highly recommend this spot. The Staff was very warm and friendly and made the whole experience amazing! Definitely coming back.“

“we would eat at Don Rigos every night if we could there food is fantastic our favorite place.“

“Great food , not too heavy“

“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“

“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..“

“awesome place! great food, great margaritas...Clean and friendly environment“

“Rays the best he made our night“

“The food was amazing! Their rice is better than ANY other. Loved the black beans. We started with chips and guacamole. It was thick and smooth and delicious. 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!!!

Dietary restrictions: They had a page of vegetarian option.

Parking: It is located in the strip mall there is more than enough parking for everyone.

Kid-friendliness: Parents came in with a child while we were there. Bench seats are very big. Small kids have tons of room“

“best Mexican restaurant in Covington. our waitress was so nice and always being helpful. food was spot on. leaving $20 tip was worth every dollar. thanks for a great experience“

“I order the same thing everytime i go a small chichen burrito bowl the portion is really good size for small it is very filling. I have takin food to go and ate inside as well. Very nice atmosphere very friendly service everytime I go.“

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

“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.“
