50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Highland Heights

“I got a large bowl of rice for $0.95. That's killer.“

“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.“

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

“Manuel is the best server ever !!!! From outside the facility to inside we had a wonderful experience. We were greeted , seated , and serviced promptly . My cousin experienced a nice birthday celebration, we were encouraged to have a good time. Thanks again to Miguel and his team !!!!! We will be back .“

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

“I haven’t had a meal hit that good in a while and the atmosphere was a vibe and exceeded my expectations! They were jamming Bad Bunny which I enjoyed, perfect warm sunny day patio vibe. The tacos were the best if not the best birria tacos I’ve had! The street corn was really good, I think my personal preference would have been a little more of the sauce on the outside of the cob. No complaints about the strawberry churro with chocolate dipping sauce! Got a birria ramen for the road and it was pretty good, I feel like it would have been better with some shredded cheese in it and I’m unsure if there was supposed to be some that came in it but mine did not. Still good though! I also rock with their values, they stand with immigrants and against ICE“

“As a Mexican I say probably the best“

“Awesome food. Great prices ;)“

“UPDATE: IN ONE WEEK I HAVE EATEN HERE 4 TIMES TRYING 4 DIFFERENT THINGS AND EACH ARE 10/10, S-TIER, A+, 5-STARS WHICHEVER GRADING SYSTEM YOU GO OFF OF!

2ND UPDATE: I've tried the steak, chicken, birria and shrimp as proteins. They are all masterfully done -- highly recommend the shrimp! I'm up to visit 7 in about 14 days.

A hidden gem! Easily the best burrito I have ever eaten. This place has massive portions. I’m a big guy, I love food and this place may have entered my top 5 favorite spots ANYWHERE after one try.

Everything was seasoned perfectly. The ingredients were crisp, fresh and delicious.

I highly recommend this place. The folks running it are welcoming, gracious hosts and master chefs.

Skip the Fast Food giants and give this place a try. You will want it again tomorrow.“

“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.“

“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!!!!!!!“

“Very good and great service“

“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!“

“What a GEM! Food was amazing and the staff was very nice.
If you're in the Eastgate area, its just a few minutes away from the mall.
Blows away 90% of the sit down mexican restraunts I've been to.
You wont be disappointed!“

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

“Love this restaurant! I live half a mile away and this place is such a wonderful addition to the area. The restaurant’s atmosphere is adorable, fun and colorful. Just a happy and festive place to unwind. Employees are always so friendly and attentive, such sweet people. My friends and I love to meet up for dinner and anytime we want Mexican food this is our go to restaurant. It’s a gem!

Great food as well! My boyfriend is obsessed with the Birria Ramen and eats it most visits. I’m a huge fan of the chicken soup, it’s pure comfort food. Tried a few different things… great fajitas, wonderful assortment of authentic Mexican dishes. Really every dish I’ve tried I enjoyed. Our group doesn’t drink and decided to splurge on virgin strawberry daiquiris. Was blown away at how cute the tray of drinks was when it came to the table. So not only do they have a full bar, they can make delicious mocktails! Can’t wait to go back, they always make us feel special. Wonderful people, food and drinks.

Mi Cabana is great for parties and they have lots of outdoor space and a volley ball court. Highly recommend.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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. ?“

“Amazing Tacos😋 best in town“

“Great food , not too heavy“

“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!“

“This experience was unforgettable. We had a large party of all 1st patrons of this establishment. World travelers and foodies would disrobe this group. It was unanimous that Nada had some of the best Latin food we've had! And the service and professionalism of the staff, top tier. This was our first visit but definitely not our last.“

“I am in love with Curritos healthy delicious abundant food all in one bowl! I am a health food freak and im so happy to find them at Currito. I can taste the good health lol. Please open another Currito in Eastgate!! Me and my husband are your biggest fans! Thank you very much! We need more of these please!“

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

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“This place is the real deal for traditional Mexican food. Everything is fresh and made to order. This is a no frills place with dining tables in the front room and kitchen in the back. A small bar and counter suffices for ordering. The menu features their specialties with a good but not extensive selection. After placing your order at the counter you can grab any open table and get a drink if you like. Drinks are self serve from a group of beverage refrigerators lining one wall. They have a good selection of beer and sodas. A bottle opener hangs on a string from the refrigerator handle. Any drinks will be added to your final bill. The food was prepared well and very tasteful. Pricing is reasonable considering the bountiful portions. When we visited they were doing a pretty brisk business. Everyone in our party agreed that it was a good experience and we would go back. Enjoy your visit!“

“Food is one of the best in the world. I have never tried something so delicious and rich. It's really amazing. We tried Gordita and Quesadilla...its soooooo nice. 😍“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Me gustó la comida y me gustó el lugar“

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