Mexican Restaurants near Norwood

“Great food I had the nachos, great service!!! We had an extra server stop and say, “He’s your server but please don’t hesitate” the margarita was excellent!!!!! I definitely will be back and the people I was with felt the same way! Good job Cancun“

“Once again I'd like to compliment this place for their consistency - like fifty years of it! It's not just the Taco Salad, which Taco Salad originated (yes, they did), but all the menu items have a stand-alone personality, a draw established by the original owner back in the fair-play hippie days. Always a fun spot, always a fair deal (not the skimpy factory food of Taco Bell and such neighborhood parasites, robbing local businesses of patronage). The Norwood location is the most laid-back Taco Casa. The new manager is tops, dedicated as they come. Grab a carry-out and hit the little park across Mtgmy road. Taco Casa is as much a Cincinnati tradition now as the chili spots. And a much better deal if you've ever seen Gold Star's "double decker," overpriced, sad, threadbare cafeteria fare. Yuk. Just finished a TC taco salad and I'll say it again: the much-imitated but never duplicated buttermilk dressing is a secret recipe I'd give anything to learn. If you know, you know :-) it's the best.“

“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!“

“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 .“

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

“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“

“This place is awesome. Never had an order get messed up and portion sizes are generous. Food itself is always great and pricing is fair. Never gone inside but it looks similar in atmosphere to Chipolte. Staff at the pick up window are always quick and friendly. Fully recommend it.“

“As a Mexican I say probably the best“

“Awesome food. Great prices ;)“

“Amazing food! Amazing owner, and hands down the best authentic Mexican food around! Chefs kiss!“

“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!!!!!!!“

“Decent restaurant nearby. Decent size parking lot. Complimentary Chips & Salsa (didn’t ask if they have spicy salsa). We came in on a Friday evening and got the last table for 8. Friendly server and decent foods. Our grandkids like it, thus we will probably come back. I had the special “Cubed Steak with White Rice, and Corn”, quite good.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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. ❤️❤️❤️“

“Very good and great service“

“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.“

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

“The food is delicious, generous portions and great service. One of my favorite places to eat in Cincinnati.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“Amazing food! Amazing owner, and hands down the best authentic Mexican food around! Chefs kiss!“

“Broooo!! Homeboy knows how to make a burrito 🤤❤️ I just started working in the area and im a huge taco truck snob, so I decided to try all the ones around a 3ish mile radius of Reading and Galbraith. This one is by far my favorite!! Will definitely be coming back....no red sauce for me though, I think I singed my taste buds off, in the best way possible 😂😂 his menu is well priced, food was super fresh and seasoned well!! Im intrigued about the sandwiches thats my next try!!“

“The best!!! Such good service and drinks are cheap!!“

“Excellent service every time, food is always delicious.“

“We went today after seeing them on Mullet Review last week. GLAD WE DID!! They have a family style buffet 11-4 Saturday and Sunday, and it’s awesome! We got there at open and they were still finishing setup, no worries cause the chips were warm and the salsa was flavorful with a little heat. All the typical favs were on the buffet and some stuff I’ve never tried before. The soups are delicious and flavorful. There’s a variety of meats as well as veggies, rice, beans, cheese and salsa. Dessert bar has some of the freshest fruits we’ve ever had. There’s also fried and corn dogs, I assume for the kids or people who have a preference away from the Mexican choices. My favs were of course the beans and rice, chicken fajita mix and the seafood/crab soup. Def going to make this a regular stop!!“

“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..“

“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.“

“Excellent food,service and price. Very friendly service! I will definitely go back again.“

“My favorite Friday night Mexican! Good food and reasonable prices! They are also so so friendly and my kids love the staff! They are always so sweet to them!“

“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!“

“Wonderful experience. Conner, our server, could not have been more friendly and attentive. Truly 10/10 service-wise. Food was also very good, came out hot and I especially enjoyed my chicken enchiladas stuffed with chicken, couscous, and cheese. If in downtown Cincinnati, I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“I am a couple weeks late to writing this - I got the mediterranean bowl and it was PERFECT literally so good didn’t ask for anything to be changed and this was the most yummy food I have ordered out in forever, amazing taste and portions were generous, they gave me a ton of everything! it was just delicious, either this location or tylersville - we can’t remember right now but they gave us the most delicious food and service! the ladies working the front were so amazing to my husband and I when we came in with our baby, they gave us something special for our next visit too and that meant so much we just lost our dad unexpectedly two weeks ago right before christmas so these ladies don’t understand what their random act of kindness meant after we paid for our food! thank you for such a great experience we look forward to coming back seriously craving the mediterranean bowl right now!! currito needs to come to the west side of town“
