I doubted an app could pick a restaurant, but it found this place by scanning my plate for calories. The tacos were high in protein and tasted great, not like diet food at all. The patio was open and service was fast.
Why are all of the beers short-poured by three ounces now? If you’re charging for a full pint, pour a full pint. Otherwise, charge a reduced price for a reduced pour of beer.
Or get thirteen ounce glasses.

Ohio Tavern is a popular spot in Madison, reminiscent of an old-school dive bar. The restaurant serves mostly Mexican cuisine, with delicious dishes such as nachos, street corn, and tacos, which come in a variety of flavors. Service is generally good, with friendly and quick staff. The atmosphere is lively, with a small size that can get busy, especially during peak hours. The sidewalk patio offers a quiet space with nice shade in the afternoon. The tacos are highly praised, with favorites like the scorcher, the New Guy, and the Old Guy tacos being particularly amazing. The nachos are also a standout, described as so good that they might cause an out-of-body experience. The restaurant's margaritas on tap are still a highlight, and the overall experience is worth trying despite some minor hiccups. Ohio Tavern only accepts cash and doesn't have a phone, so visiting during off-peak times is recommended to ensure a spot. It remains a gem for its tasty tacos, lively atmosphere, and inviting patio.
