The food was amazing. My husband had the shirt steak and I had the enchiladas both wonderful, great flavor. Margarita was amazing! The customer service was top notch! Give this place a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Love this Cantina that is just a short walk from Hotel Covington! Our visit was excellent and the service was great. The team working gave some great recommendations for cocktails and margs and they were quick to check on each of their tables to ensure every customer felt welcomed. Highly recommend coming here if you’re a small group - quick seating, quick service, and great food and drink!

The ceviche was excellent!

A gem of Northern KY. Awesome Mexican restaurant. This isn’t your typical Tex-Mex. Much more upscale, but still reasonable prices. It’s super clean and extremely friendly staff. Guacamole is really good (I don’t say that often). Yuca Fritas were amazing. Mix and match taco menu. They were so accommodative and welcoming that we felt as if they opened the doors tonight just to host our party of four. Had great options for vegetarian/gluten free. Typically we upgrade on the Margs, but tonight went with the house and they were really good with quality ingredients. It was a pleasant bonus that they have Montucky tall boys at the bar, too.

Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and also gluten-free (tell me about it). They’ll take care of it.

Really surprised this place is still open. My tacos were nearly $30 and they were absolutely gross, you can tell everything was frozen, soggy, and my meat was cold. The last time I went in, im pretty sure they gave me an old messed up order, the entire thing was cold- mustve been out for hours. Dirty. Zero stars.

Would give 0 stars if possible. Service was nonexistent and when a server finally came they seemed so incredibly overworked, probably the only server that even works there. Owner was yelling at employees and very clearly drunk. Good came out and was pretty solid but was cold. Was told by my server that he had held it to be “tested for the goo” which was concerning. I didn’t eat any of it. Mad respect to the server but I will never be coming back and I recommend no one come within a mile of this biohazard.

Poor marketing. They were closed well before midnight on a Friday when they advertise that they’re open 24 hours.
