50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Highland Heights

“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.“

“Oh!!!! Such great food. My hubby and I lived in Mexico and needed authentic tacos and salsa. Michael and his wife are amazing chefs!!! We had a trio of tacos plus fish tacos and the best hibiscus margarita EVER. You can find us at Comal every Tuesday. Yes, I eat the Salsa with a spoon. Yummy!!!!!!!“

“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.“

“Very good and great service“

“This Taqueria is the bomb 💣!! They have a lot of authentic food. BOGO tacos on Tuesday and Tamales on Friday & Saturday!! Prices are reasonable & they are really nice too! Make sure you don’t park in front of the gas pumps.

It was like a flavor bomb 💣 went off in my mouth 😋!!! I got the tacos pastor (pork) served with pineapple and a lime and cucumber slice on the side and a verde salsa. They also have spicy pickled onions and a couple of hotter, (habanero pineapple or mango) flavored fruit sauces to go on your food. They also have REAL Birria tacos and quesadillas they look SO delicious. I’m going to try those next!!

NOTE: THEY ONLY TAKE CASH- so bring a lot cuz it’s hard to decide what to get!

“The enchiladas are divine!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“We hosted a birthday/Baptism at Bandito’s for our children and it was perfect! Excellent food, reasonable price, fun atmosphere, easy to book! Highly recommend!!!“

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

“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. ?“

Our server was so organized and professional I was highly impressed. The food was phenomenal. You have a special celebration this is the spot to be. Everything was 100. And I'm not exaggerating not one complaint from my mother and that right there says everything...😂“

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

“I love this place!!! I normally get chicken tacos or a beef huarache and both never disappoint. There are definitely times someone in the kitchen is lacking, but I feel most times I’m there I get the most perfect chicken or beef. I love the salsas they bring to the table as well, they’re an essential when trying the tacos, my personal favorite is the green one. Sometimes the music can be too loud or there are children running around, but it adds to the vibe and never annoys me. Such a delicious local taqueria, this is my place for a taco fix!“

“Absolutely incredible. I had a steak burrito for lunch today and it was hot fresh and got the food fast, I live about an hour away from this place and I would drive that hour just for lunch here. Eat here. You're going to thank me. Fast friendly service reasonable prices absolutely amazing food. Thank you for lunch!“

“Soco's was a dandy local Mexican restaurant located in Fort Mitchell Kentucky. It was a rather small joint but had a rather vast menu of all sorts of Mexican favourites. We started with an appetizer of one of our Mexican staples; that being the Chori-Queso (they named it the "Queso Con Chorizo.") It was a great balance of the cheese and chorizo and made for a dandy dip. For my main course I tried the Chapala Plato which was 2 Chimichitos A Chimichito is a deep fried totortilla filled with choice of protein (I chose chicken), topped with cheddar cheese, and lettuce which I had left off. They were quite tasty as the chicken had tons of great flavour and the cheese was nice as always. The plate also came with refried beans and Mexican rice with the rice being especially delicious. This was a very tasty and also very inexpensive plate of food which is never a bad thing. The service was superb and restaurant was fun, vibrant, and festive. This a real treat to find and we can't wait to come back.“

“Servers were awesome, friendly and you could tell they enjoy making your experience great. . Margaritas were great and food was fresh.“

“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!“

“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“
