Service: our waiter was fine. There was a manager (I think) that I had a problem with. We ordered guacamole and the salsa trio. These are appetizers that you pay for. While we were still working on them, she came and asked if we wanted to order more apps or wait for our entrees. We told her we’d wait for the entrees. Then without saying a word, she just started taking the apps we were eating. We had to ask her twice to leave the food on the table, because we were still eating. Someone should never clear plates with food on them without asking. Especially for what they charged for that little plate of guacamole. It just sent a message that they thought we weren’t spending enough, and they wanted to rush us out.
Food: I personally ordered the guacamole and the carne asada tacos (pictured). The guacamole was fabulous. Very flavorful and very fresh tasting. The tacos were seasoned well, but the beef was tough. Very tough. I’ve had better carne asada at Chipotle. Everyone else at my table said their food was wonderful.
Overall, I’d try it again, but I’m not going to go out of my way to. There are several other places in downtown Cincinnati I’d rather try first. But the food I had that was good was exceptionally good. I wouldn’t ever recommend the carne asada tacos though.

Good place, nice atmosphere with good music. Food was good tacos and fajitas were deli. The rice and beans I didn’t like the taste but I think is a personal opinion.
The price was a little expensive but I don’t know the prices around there because it was the first time we visit the downtown.
My tacos like $24 and fajitas $25
Chips you have to pay if you want it.

Make a reservation, sitting upstairs gave a nice view of the street to people watch. i would suggest getting 1 salsa instead of the trio skip the verde (its not bad just not as good as the other 2). we shared the chicken and the seafood enchiladas. the chicken very good and the seafood one while good i mostly tasted just the sauce and cheese. the drinks are made well with normal pours.
while everything is great at the end of the day its $25 for 3 small enchiladas, its fancy Mexican food.
Benjamin was a top notch server

In Downtown Cincinnati and this is a must visit. It gets busy here so make sure to make reservations.

The quesadillas were perfect. They are not too cheesy as lot of places do. The tortilla crispness with the filling is full of flavors.

Street tacos are the way to go here. They have a lot of choices for tacos. But what tells a good place for tacos to a great place for tacos is the what appeases the palette. And I must say it will not disappoint.

Great evening here. Will return again.

We came here from a suggestion of a local. We walked here from Paycor Stadium. We waited 45 minutes for a table (which is what they estimated). We didn’t have reservations and weren’t surprised we had to wait. Love that they text your phone when your table is ready so you don’t have to stay right there. Our table was in a cozy corner. I loved it! Our server was excellent. Food was amazing, wish we had this in CT. The cornbread was the best cornbread I’ve ever had. Chicken Tortilla Soup was really good. We ordered the shrimp taco and Carne Asada taco, and they were great! We left so full and happy. Very glad we found this place!

Been here on multiple occasions with different people and no one ever came back disappointed. This place has a fancy vibe while also offering good food. Great selection of sides especially the crispy potatoes. I wish they would bring back their fried avocado tacos and add a few more vegan/vegetarian options.
