Service was awesome! Congrats to a woman owned business that has expanded! It's been great to watch to grow.

We have eat at the Liberty way restaurant. And it was really good. But the new Hamilton,ohio location beats it all. I eat there at least 2 times a week. The place is staying clean. Service is 100% + fast and friendly. Management is real friendly as well. We just had dinner there last night. Our server (Tim) done a great job. read more

I had never dined at this location, though Ive been to the liberty location a few times. This place was no less impressive! Sarah, our server was top-shelf friendly and helpful. I would say "actually impressed" by a server. The decor isn't something I'd copy at home, but it's suits things well enough. I could see a rather large outdoor dining space and I'm eager to return in warmer weather. A Personal pet peeve is music volume. And here, it was perfect. My friend and I could carry in a comfortable conversation, yet still feel the vibe of the tune selection. Of course the food is great! I appreciate the menu, which is taco-heavy! There are options for simple or traditional palates. And there are options for adventurous foodie types. The new taco flight was excellent--smaller portions of more options so you can sample many. All in all, an excellent afternoon Ps - the desserts are huge! Two of us couldn't finish a shared plate. Honestly, for that "just a bit of something sweet" after a meal, I think four could easily split one. read more

the tacos were amazing and cocktails and service Kim provided were top notch. Thr ambiance wasn't anything to slouch on either.

Evidently somebody decided to change the menu and remove the best tacos. The "Becky" taco is gone! The "naughty Nola" gone, just to name a few. The appetizer " crab rangoons" have been changed to NO RICE, and they were overcooked to the point that the inside had melted outside and gone! I will give the manager credit though, when she noticed the issue with the appetizer, she had it remade the way it used to be and didn't charge us for them. Epic flight price went up. Please consider temporary additions in the spring, not take this off and this on. I will say this though, the server was great and the facility is real nice! read more

The food,service and ambiance was awesome. The server was great. Can not wait to go back again

Great food, awesome atmosphere and incredible artwork! Had a party of 8 - despite only being open a week, great service and depth of menu knowledge, incredible drink menu. Only giving 4 stars due to new restaurant kinks that will work out over time. Ordered the chips/guac/queso/salsa - superb and had to order extra chips. Brussel sprouts and shrimp rangoon. Huge portions - big enough for 4+ Most of the party had the flight of tacos - definitely their stong suite and hard to finish 3. Had the chicken sandwich with fries - bread was a bit soggy due to table timing, but flavor was great. read more

Parking was easily accessible and plenty of parking spaces. The entrance was outrageous with decorations, along with quick service at desk. We sat in bar area, where there was plenty of seating. Waitress was named Alex and was very knowledgeable about each item on the menu. I ordered the sticky cauliflower bites (sesame & ginger sauce, along with crispy wonton strips) as an appetizer. The main course was The Saucy Sis ( lmpossible burger meatballs with tangy red dipping sauce). The Sticky cauliflower had excellent favor and portions were tremendous. I just couldn't believe the size of my taco (like a child getting a gift on Christmas). The meatballs were very tender and sauce was delicious. I cannot express how well our waitress attended to us and was so polite. This was a great experience in Hamilton, Ohio. read more

Fantastic place for dates/drinks. Good food. Server was epic. Hope he stays. Drinks were amazing. Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and it was worth it(weekends & nights are packed, difficult to get a table) definitely going back to try more new things. Especially the house made tortilla chips. Drinks- Sweet tea-pictured & New Old Fashioned-pictured; it was outstanding, ask for extra cherries bite & chew the cherry with each drink, thank me later. Appetizer-Shrimp Rangoon's-(sorry no picture) but Yummy & eat the rice too, it's not just decorative it's delicious, server let us in on this secret & helped pick out our meal . Main course-Pick three tacos, I ate the swipe right(Chicken, w/sweet & savory sauce), mafia(Chicken w/spicy sauce), plain jane(Beef taco, s/c), all were good. Hubs had swipe right, Porky pig(pork taco) & sweet & sour(chicken taco w/ a s&s sauce). The only thing I would bring next time is a bottle of Chohula hot sauce, they didn't have any and it would have made the plain Jane even better. Take home-Burger w/American cheese, & fries; heads up comes on regular bread- yum! Dessert-Oreo Fridge Cake-fantastic, best eaten @ restaurant but we took it to go, still delicious. Overall it was a good meal, atmosphere, fair pricing, if they keep up their standards, we will be back . **Parking can be an issue. Use their lot in the back if possible. read more

I just don't get it. I feel like I'm being pranked. i was so excited for this place to open because I love good Mexican food. I tried a variety of their tacos and none of them were interesting, and frankly disappointing. It tastes like a white person's bastardized version of Mexican food but in the worst way possible. I took a bite of the lobster taco and I did not expect a clam chowder in a shell. Terrible Mac and cheese shoved onto every meal. The cheese flavor is so overpowering and ruined any dish it touches. Their "spicy" taco was very bland and unseasoned even. I just don't get it. What am I missing here? How is the parking lot always full? Do people really enjoy this? The service was fine and the atmosphere is in stark contrast to the flavor of the food. Most of the budget for this restaurant went into architecture and theming and pennies went to the kitchen. Just such a shame. I was so disappointed. I'm not giving a one star because it's still a fine restaurant, not a disaster, and still somehow pulls customers, but it's not for me. read more

The ambiance was so interesting and the food was terrific. Loved that I had gluten free choices! Service, Kendall, was friendly, energetic and attentive! read more

Elotes were so bland that it tasted like eating plain corn. I asked to have my entree removed from my bill because It was cold/soggy and by the time it came out my entire party was 95% done with their plates. One of the party members asked to cancel their appetizer because it had not arrived by the time they finished their entree. The server still brought it out anyway. 5 out of the 7 people in the party did not enjoy their food. Our server seemed overall disinterested in our party.Nothing about any of the meals tasted like actual Mexican food. I would give 0 stars if possible and definitely would not recommend. read more

I was a little uncertain about this place when I went there, but that uncertainty has been totally replaced with happiness and gratitude for a wonderful dinner. I got the "Taco flight" and every taco was fantastic. I got the "Plain Jane", "The Alderman" and the "Happy Pappy". My final favorite was the Happy Pappy...not sure what all is in that thing, but it was delicious. The Plain Jane was good too, but a trifle boring in comparison to the others. The Alderman was a close second...word to the wise...the Spicy Chile de Arbol Salsa is really good, but in my view, really hot. I got it on the side and put a little on each bite. That gave me better control. It was hot but really good. And by the way...Shout out to Lindsey! You did great and we felt well taken care of. Thank you so much. My only (very slight) negative was on the noise level. This place is really popular and definitely not a place for quiet conversation. But that is not surprising since it was soooooooooo goooooood! read more

Erica was excellent! Friendly and helpful with the menu. First time having the flight of tacos. Great value.

Do recommend?Absolutely,gotta try everything once BUT .With that being said ,they have some things to work on .First of all the atmosphere is nothing short of a masterpiece.Your eyes will never get bored or tired of seeing every detail .Now for the service ?The greeter was great ,and the guy who brought out our food was great .The waitress needs some improvement.I asked her about the specials that day and she stated that it was a few different drinks on sale .I had seen the menu and fb posts about daily specials .She seemed really surprised ,well we ended up getting 2 of the happy hour discounted starters .I felt like i knew the menu better than she did ,and ive never been there before .I had my heart set on the birria tacos .My daughter got the birria burrito ,her bf got the swipe right with a side of mac n cheese and my bf got a taco flight .My tacos were very nice size and flavorful .The consume was very salty .So i used it sparingly .I feel like it's missing a HOT spicy salsa on the side for sure .I think the biggest fail was the icebox cake !!!it was Oreos stacked ,with hot fudge and whipped cream .You could see it crumbling .its like they had been packed together with water .It was just dry Oreos.Very disappointing.For a place this creative .Id love to see desserts with way more thought ,flavor and creativity put into them .And online there were sweet dessert tacos ? when we got there we were pointed to 3 options .This thing being one .Over all it was an experience,Something new .we might try it again . Also i forgot to mention ,those chips ,are just broken up very THICK tostadas!!If you prefer a light crispy chip .Stay away from the chips .My mouth is tore up today . read more
