Heard from several people this place was good. Oh boy, it did not disappoint. The taste was excellent, refried beans was good. Chips there was a lot for 1.50. Pico was yummy. I will definitely be back. Nice area to sit down and eat. Price was very reasonable for the portion sides they gave you. Service was fast and friendly.

I ordered a vegetarian bowl. It was listed for $8. Rather than get the sauce that comes with the bowl on the food, I requested it on the side. The cashier manager/ owner charged me $10 rather than $8. I asked why. He said because I got sauce. I asked why I should pay $2 more to get my sauce on the side. He then said, didn't you get extra beans? I said no because I had not requested extra beans, nor anything else extra. He then reopened my container, looked at the food and stated I had a larger bowl. I didn't make the bowl; they made the bowl. I didn't ask for anything extra, so I was confused when he next stated that I had a larger bowl. They only offer one bowl size. He then said, well I at least have to charge you $9 dollars. For what? I should've left the food and walked away, but I decided to be nice and pay the $9 dollars, if it was that important to him to fabricate any excuse to overcharge me. Randomly overcharging customers is a very dishonest business practice. I will never return. That wasn't my first experience being overcharged there, but I decided to give them another chance. Based on other reviews, it seems this restaurant has a history of overcharging customers. There's a saying, fool me once shame on you, but fool me twice shame on me. I have learned my lesson that they don't deserve my business.

I have driven by this restaurant for a while because the sign didn’t draw me in. However, today I wanted to give it a try. Wow, amazing food and service. The quesadilla with chicken was fantastic, and the service was so kind. I’ll be back!

Birria tacos are amazing. They are also very accommodating for someone that is gluten and dairy free, so that my girlfriend could enjoy their delicious food.Dietary restrictions: They are willing to customize orders to fit dietary restrictions.

It's similar to Chipotle, but it's better. Local owners and far better choices. A great local spot.

To much $$ for what you get. I would rather spend $35 at Cancun than the Mexican version of White

Not everyone that lives here is from Cincinnati. I was raised in Texas until I was 22 so I don’t even eat Mexican food up here. I was in the food industry for 30 years so I know it’s hard to find workers that give a care about the food or customers. My son was like you gotta try this place, it’s legit. I was like I don’t want to risk it and he said no you’re going to love it. The first time I got birria tacos and a bowl. I haven’t had Mexican food like that up here ever. The ingredients were good quality, fresh, the cheese was melty and stringy. It was piping hot even after they did a pick up order. They went back today and it’s awful. I only got Birria tacos because they were so good last time I didn’t want nothing else. You can see in the pictures where it looks like they had been sitting there and heated up in the microwave. The cheese was hard and stuck to the shell. The cilantro is mush, the onions are soft from sitting there. The meat tastes old, the sauce is separated and cold. They didn’t stir it before they scooped it. The shell is crusty and like rubber. It literally made my stomach feel sick after the first one. I’m feeding the rest to my dogs. I was craving these tacos all day, I’ll just go back to eating Mexican food in Texas you can’t trust these foos up here. They must be wearing ankle socks.

The service was amazing, I went a little after lunchtime so there were three people ahead of me when I arrived. It was fairly quick before they were able to take my order, and the employees were extremely accommodating. I asked about some ingredients and they even allowed me to try a couple before I went with them. I ordered a chicken quesadilla, along with two tacos. The quesadilla toppings are pretty much set in stone, with bell peppers onions cheese and a side of sour cream along with your choice of meat. However, the tacos are a little different. You are given the option to add whichever toppings you would choose in a chipotle-esque style. You walked down the line with the server and you tell them which ingredients you would like on your taco. My two tacos and quesadilla came to around $16, which isn’t bad considering the food was amazing. The restaurant was pretty clean considering they had just finished with the lunch rush and the employees were warm and kind. Parking was perfect and I will definitely be visiting again. I hope my review helps somebody who is looking to try somewhere new during lunch, I definitely recommend!Parking: Very good parking options

Good food! My daughter and I had lunch here recently while shopping in the area. It has a topping line similar to Chipotle and Bibibop. I ordered 3 Chorizo Tacos with just cilantro, onions and lime. My daughter ordered a Burrito with Chicken. We also ordered the side of Chips & Salsa. While we were in line we could see them roasting tomatoes and someone cutting fresh beef. We both enjoyed our lunch. Everything tasted fresh and had a great flavor. While the chips were fresh - the salsa isn't very good. Neither of us liked it and we didn't finish it. I'd stop in again when in the area.

I would’ve given 4 stars to their service but the cook decided not to make things right with my order and tell me what I ordered when I know what I ordered. I’m a hard worker so when I spend my hard earned money I expect to be treated as a valued customer and they did not do that to me. The food was mid at best and it was fresh but couldn’t enjoy the birria tacos because the cook make them wrong and instead of correcting the issue he ignored my request for my food to be made correctly.
