Mexican Restaurants near Norwood

“My Freemason lodge chose them to cater our festive board. After ordering 25 tacos, a burrito boat platter, and a few taco salads, there was hardly a crumb left. This is a hidden gem of Cincinnati and has been a favorite of mine since I was a child growing up in the area.“

“We made a reservation for 25 at 6. We arrived at 540 just to be safe all would be ready. They were already ready for us and welcomed us! The service was impeccable and the food was great! I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you for a wonderful time! We will be back!“

“Ok I haven't been to taco bell in a while but in the past I always thought it was hit or miss as far as service and the food. But I went later this evening before close. Only one car in the drive thru. They were very quick to ask me to order when I was ready. I am actually really impressed. There were maybe two workers but they were very attentive, fast, and very professional. I went home, and im not going to lie. ..it was probably the best quality taco bell I had ever had! Everything turned out well beyond what i expected. There were napkins. And the sauce I ordered was well supplied. The food was hot. Tasted like they just made it. I just feel like my experiences at any restaurant have been pretty disappointing and I thought taco bell did amazing tonight. I'd have posted how it looked but it was gone before I got to this ? thanks guys!“

“Excellent food ! The Sope s I had were fantastic. My husband’s burrito was exceptional and sauces we’re great too.“

“Come and enjoy nice people and great food“

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

“My wife and I tried this place while being there for their Tacos, Vatos, Y Lowriders car show and were very happy with the food. The place was absolutely packed because of the show and Mexican independence day but we still got our food pretty quickly and it was delicious. I think the Churro was the best I have ever had.

Vegetarian options: My wife had a vegan taco and loved it.“

“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.“

“Best tacos around! Especially the Birria!“

“The enchiladas are divine!!!“

“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.“

“Just ordered Bubbakoo's today and Chipotle no longer exists to me. This restaurant outdoes them in every way. I would marry this restaurant if I could. I ordered a taco salad with fried cauliflower and I melted as soon as I took my first bite. The crispiness of the cauliflower was perfectly complimented by the perfectly cooked beans, delicious sauce and guacamole. The way my food was packaged made it feel like I was opening a present. I think I'm in love.

Vegetarian options: Fried cauliflower is available and super delicious.“

“Wonderful menu and food was fantastic! Staff was amazing and friendly!“

“Delicious tacos!!!!!!!!!! Tried them outside Bleachers last night. Will definitely look for your truck.“

“Extremely disappointed that you no longer have hour on the weekends. This is my favorite restaurant. Planned on coming for my birthday. I will rethink.“

“bone fragments were in the chicken tacos I gave to my coworker, difficult to hype a restaurant when the food can choke someone.“

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

“Loved this place completely until today. I've been here probably 40-50 times in the last 2 years. It's always been pretty good and good service. Today I met a friend there for dinner and we got Ismaelas a server. He got mad at us because our drinks weren't right. All we did was ask for something different. He did not like that. We got our new drinks after about 10 minutes. We ordered our food and he even repeated back to us what we were ordering as he was writing it down. Once our food came mine had onions and pico. Neither of which I eat. We waited a few minutes for him to come back around and I told him about my issue. He looked mad that I did not want the onions on my food. Literal just gave me a dirty look.I told him to just take it back and I do not need a replacement. My friend did eat his tacos. He didn't come back over to our table for a while. My buddy ran out of his drink for maybe 15-20 minutes. We told the lady at the counter but she didn't seem to care. Hopefully someone does. I've brought a lot of people to this establishment and I myself have spent a ton of money there bringing my family of 5. Ive left good reviews and always spoke highly of this place. I've always bragged about how they have it figured out. Well, today has somewhat ruined it for me. Never once were we rude or out of line. I'm guessing Ismael was having a bad day. Maybe I'll come back later in the future, maybe not. That's sucks because I really like their food.“

“Awesome service, that was the best part. Loved the atmosphere. Food was good, but a little pricey for what you get. Overall pretty good. If I'm going for atmosphere and service, I'll come here. If I'm going just for the food, I'll be at Leon's Grill up the road.“

“great food and super friendly service! we love having Los Potros in the neighborhood!“

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

“Very good and great service“

“Excellent authentic Mexican cuisine. Food truck meets Abuelas kitchen. The only place I go to when I want that authentic fresh taste. Definitely needs another location in Clifton or even on the banks or OTR. More traffic more for great food. ❤️❤️❤️“

“Always good food and drinks. Great service.“

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

“First time eating here and absolutely loved it! The turtle is amazing. Rich flavors. Great menu variety. Nice portions and the staff was friendly and super helpful for first timers. Strongly recommend stopping in and trying this place! We will be back!“

“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.“

“Fresh outstanding delicious flavors every time. Generous portions attractively presented accompanied by homemade outstandingly fresh salsa! Great guacamole and perfect tortilla chips!The barbacoa is tender and high quality with just the right balance of spice & sauce! No better chicken tostada anywhere! The stone bowl is a must try, filled to the top with everything from cactis to chorizo & shrimp and drizzled with a roasted red pepper sauce that’s knockout! Enjoy! I do!“

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

“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..“

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

“First time eating here and absolutely loved it! The turtle is amazing. Rich flavors. Great menu variety. Nice portions and the staff was friendly and super helpful for first timers. Strongly recommend stopping in and trying this place! We will be back!“

“the food here is very amazing“

“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!“

“It’s a quaint mom + pop type style diner. I tried the street tacos + they were absolutely delicious! I tried a variety of the selection offered to get a good feel for the food. It did not disappoint. I would definitely recommend this place!“

“Great fast service quality food and inexpensive“

“The margaritas are so good and reasonably priced. The verde sauce and cheese dip are highlights! The service is always great and the owner is so kind and personable.“

“I see some negative comments. I don't believe the reviewers realize what Zapata is about. Frankly, I find it refreshing that dishes are not smothered in cheese and drowning in sauce. Zapata is about combining flavors, and not marching to the beat of the typical Americanized version of Mexican food to which we have become accustomed. I recommend it to all my friends.“

“I just moved here and I found this restaurant. They made me feel so welcomed. Not to mention they have a happy hour with 3 different size margaritas with different choices of flavors. Everything I've tried so far on the menu has been fresh and good. I've even brought the in-laws. ???? It's a must try“

“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.“
