Mexican Restaurants near Fort Mitchell

“This may be the best Mexican food I've ever had, which feels like an exaggeration, but it really was that good. The chicken was flavorful and not dry in the dishes. The rice was well seasoned. The staff were friendly and down to earth. It was just a cozy place to get Mexican and a drink after work and can tell it will be a spot I return to again and again.“

“I had the pleasure of going to this restaurant earlier this week. The margaritas were fabulous! The food I ordered was simply delicious and I cannot give enough kudos to my server Eber. I asked for his name so I could specifically include him in this review. What a nice server and so professional as well as attentive. I’m certain the other servers are very good, but I certainly will be asking for him at my next visit which may become a weekly routine.“

“I went here on my lunch break. They happened to run out of the honey chicken just as it became my turn to order. I decided to wait. The team worked together very well.. Everyone involved was doing all they could to keep things flowing as best as possible. It wasn't too long before the honey chicken was restocked. My order was completed immediately. The staff were very efficient and friendly.“

“The food is amazing and if you like guacamole try the chunky guacamole. The pastor, carnitas, steak veggie and chicken tacos are so good. The Tijuana steak tacos so good. We have tried the burritos so delicious, fresh and authentic Mexican food.“

“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!“

“Come and enjoy nice people and great food“

“We first stopped in to El Taco Feliz about two months after the location on 42 opened. It quickly became a favorite of ours, we now stop in as much as 4-6 times per week. Food is great, staff is friendly, it’s an awesome place, and I highly recommend it. Not only do I recommend, but it is my overall favorite restaurant in any category.“

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

“HANDS DOWN BEST TACOS IVE EVER HAD!!! CANT WAIT TO GO BACK!“

“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.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Everything was good especially the steak, Al pastor and pirata tacos.“

“The restaurant is beautiful. The food is seasoned really well. It's more authentic than tex mex. It was absolutely delicious though. I'll definitely be back. The only downside is the a/c wasn't working which happens. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.“

“Best tacos around! Especially the Birria!“

“Hands down the most amazing taco truck I have been to. Absolutely love the Birra Tacos with the dipping auju! Do not let the price scare you they are packed full! I purchased 11 tacos on Monday and between 2 of us we have 2 left to fight over. The Birra, chicken and steak tacos we keep going back to for our order can’t stop craving them to try anything else. Fantastic!!!“

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

“I eat here on average of a couple times a month. The food is always fresh and quickly prepared. It's quite authentic in both the dishes offered and the preparation.

Dietary restrictions: The workers recommended foods for diabetic patrons.“

“Ask for Carla, great service and the seafood chimichanga was great #ReneerecommendsYES“

“Called this location inquiring about my absolutely WHACKY dietary needs.
Not ONLY did Brittany give me accurate information, did not judge me. Polite, informative and even told me about other options that would keep me at the right price for my needs.
I was concerned. It's strange. She ASSURED me that her professional, courteous and knowledgeable staff could help even if she wasn't present after our phone call.
Let me tell you.
ACCURATE.
Brittany was on break, I was afraid ro even ask the wonderful young lady at the counter... but HANNAH WAS AWESOME!
I told her my WHACKY stuff, in line, in the store... she stood tall "I got you". I can make whatever you need just like that. What would you like in it?

No judgements. Just help. I wish it were this easy other places.
THANKS, LADIES!
Definitely be back.“

“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“

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

“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.“

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

“Very good and great service“

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

“Chuy's continues to be one of our go to's for awesome Tex-Mex cuisine. The restaurant looks so fun and the people have been so nice to us and that was definitely no different this time. On this occasion I got their Steak Burrito which was stuffed with steak, Jack cheese, and Hatch Green Chile sauce. The steak and cheese was excellent with great flavour cooked into the steak. The Hatch Green Chile sauce however was a bit disappointing with it being advertised as being spicy but lacked both spice or really any flavour at all. Even so the the steak and cheese did make up for the shortcomings of the sauce for me. The Mexican rice was excellent as well. All in all another great visit to Chuy's.“

“Amazing Tacos😋 best in town“

“Great fast service quality food and inexpensive“

“We always have the best experience at Zambrero! They are an extremely generous company that we love to support. Best of all, our picky eaters eat here everytime!“

“So the food and drinks were amazing. Regular margarita was ok but the strawberry was awesome. Had some fajitas and they were straight amazing. Chips and salsa are ok. But the rear was great. We all ordered lots of things and shared. Birria was good as well as the fajitas with everything. Would absolutely return here. Service was decent. Not the best but not the worse. But they were fairly busy.“

“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“

“This restaurant made me feel at home and I'm not even Mexican. The food was delicious and did not take long to be served, the atmosphere is familiar and clean. From the food to the music, I liked everything about the restaurant but what makes the restaurant is the service, the waitresses do not look overworked which makes the service fluid and friendly. I will definitely eat here again when I'm back in Cincinnati.“

“The food was excellent, and they were very accommodating of our last minute seating charge request. That said, the service was friendly but slow and the music was very very loud. We are "older" folks, so perhaps diners who like this kind of music would enjoy it. Again, the food was very very good and the location - right outside the Aronoff Theatre - can't be beat for convenience.“

“Food was good .. but cut back on pine-Sol and sweet tea a little sweeter … clean facilities, and friendly workers … but can use some hygiene products..“

“Great food , not too heavy“

“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..“

“Ate there today and it was amazing! Huge portions for a great price. I had the steak fajitas and it was so flavorful and tasty. Hubs has a chorizo burrito that was huge and very good. We will definitely be back“

“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.“

“Since moving to Florence from Fairfield Ohio we have been looking for our go to Mexican restaurant….we found it!!! The meat is tender and well seasoned as well as the rest of the food. Staff is very attentive, friendly and the environment is clean. Highly recommend!!!“
