“The Ohio Tavern is as close as you can get to an old school dive bar in Madison. They food is cooked right in the bar area, and is mostly Mexican food. The nachos were delicious and the street corn was sublime. Service was good as well. It can get quite busy, and is louder than most establishments due to the small size. They only take cash and do not have a phone. If you want to maximize your chance of getting a spot - hit it up at an off time. We were there at 3:30 pm on a Saturday (non game day) and there were plenty of seats. At least try it once!“

“Without exaggerating, the brisket taco and carnitas taco are some of the best food I've ever had. 11 out of 10. I can't recommendthem enough.Vegetarian options: They have a section of the menu that is just vegetarian tacosDietary restrictions: I don't know what, if any, practices they use to prevent cross contamination but they have clearly marked gluten friendly options and my mom who has celiac is planning on trying some of them so I'll update this review with the feedback.Parking: There is a side lot to park in but spaces are pretty limited. If they are busy, parking will likely be full. Also, the parking spaces aren't very wide so if you have a truck or larger tires on a Jeep it might be a squeeze.Kid-friendliness: This restaurant is kid friendly. I saw a few young kids (maybe around 5 years old) but there is a bar and most people are probably drinking so take that into consideration.“

“Stopped by at the end of happy hour to check out dinner and drinks. Sat by the window and had a view of King St festivities and the capital. Had the shrimp fajitas and birra tacos. The fajitas were a good portion size and flavorful. The tacos were good as well. Would recommend for Mexican food in downtown Madison.“

“5 star bartenders. Lovely time at the bar. Never got seated because the owners are idiots. EDIT: OK I got seated right as I was leaving, BUT the food was really good just stick to whatever looks authentic because the only thing that made my stomach do 360s was the falafel taco and I love falafel.“

“I stopped by while in town celebrating my birthday solo; I was feeling a bit lonely but thought it might be weird to ask for attention while out on my own, so I wasn't going to say anything. The extremely welcoming and kind server chatted with me and made recommendations; I had a huge, delicious sandwich and greens with the best strawberry vinaigrette I've ever had. I felt comfortable enough to mention why I was there, and he brought me a slice of heavenly lemon curd cheesecake as a birthday treat. I stopped feeling lame and just enjoyed being celebrated. I so appreciated the kind reception and will happily visit this spot again next time I'm in Madison!“
