    Margaritas

    if I could give 10 stars I would. Amazing service, ambiance and the best margs in town. I don't know what they do to make them taste so good but amen 10/10

    Chicken Burrito
    Kymisha M.

    Inside of a bowling alley! Yup and it was good! Servers were attentive and quick with my order and I couldn't appreciate it more because I was so hungry. I chose the burrito with beans and rice. I should have gotten the margarita but maybe next time.

    What a neat place. Very good food and quick and friendly service. The restaurant is also attached to a bowling alley. Western Bowl, and it is huge. Me and my better half shared the Pollo Chicken and brought enough home for another meal. I really don't think you can go wrong ordering anything off the menu.

    I've been here a ton of times but it's been a while. Not the authentic Mexican food I am used to but the food was good. The margaritas were even better. I ordered a pitcher to be shared between two people. I didn't realize how lit I was until the next morning. They have an outdoor patio with seating and redesigned the interior so that you can see into the bowling alley the restaurant is attached to. There is more light and custom made chairs made out of tequila barrels. Over all its on of my favorite brick and mortar Mexican spots. Not so humbly submitted, Michael C.

    Quesadilla
    Chris R.

    Drinks were strong, customer service was good. But the good was so bland, it needed seasoning very badly. They didnt season anything and it makes me sad, had soo much potential. Add some sazon or salt or something lol. Might come back for the happy hour (half off margs). The live band was coo too

    Wonderful delicious and recommended it to anyway who's on the west coast of Cincinnati.

    Nachos el carbon
    Veronica V.

    I've been here a couple times and I always get the same or similar thing. But its fantastic. This last time we went was happy hour. I believe happy hour is 2p to 4p or something close... a craft of frozen pina colada was $6. And they were strong af! I got nachos al carbon that's my fav. This place is not stingy on portions!! Similar prices to most authentic Mexican restaurants.

    Steak fajitas and side plate

    I have been here several times and every time it is great! This Mexican restaurant is by far my favorite in the Midwest. Over the years I have eaten at this restaurant dozens of times and not once have I had an issue that I can recall. I am reposting this review partly because in my opinion this is the best Mexican restaurant out there and I think you all should try it out but also because I found a new favorite item on their menu!! **Pina Colada Marg** holy cow it's amazing both on the rocks and frozen. Not too sweet and just absolutely perfect. I can't believe this has been sitting under my nose all these years and I've never ordered it. So good!! Also - they have recently opened 3 new locations, one is in Newport on the Levy in the old Don Pablo's on the river and overlooks downtown Cincy. The other two locations are in Forest Park and Crescent Springs. If you go to the Glenway location (which I believe is one of their first locations) you can sit in the dining room that has a western theme or the bar area which is more contemporary. The restaurant is connected to the bowling alley but don't let that stop you from checking out this gem. Once you're in the restaurant you will forget the bowling alley is even there. Great spot for a date night or family night out with kids. Dinner and bowling or vice versus. The menu is HUGE with lots of combination and margarita flavors at fair prices. They also have a kids menu with standard American items as well. Tip: go during the week between 3-6 to catch their happy hour to score half price margaritas and all other drinks! I typically order the pollo a la Cancun which is a specialty item specific to Cancun Mexican Restaurants. It's similar to the classic arroz con pollo dish most Mexican restaurants have but with Cancun's own creative twist. They add grilled onions, zucchini and chorizo to the dish which makes this dish an absolute star! My husband almost always gets the chicken or steak fajitas and has never left disappointed or with an empty stomach. The portion size of both these meals is huge!

    The most awesome Barzon!
    Melissa O.

    It's hard to find the famous Barzone on the menu these days at Mexican restaurants so my husband and I were pretty excited when we saw it. We closed our menus right away and the decision was mutual and final. It's so huge you must split it. It's a burrito filled with chicken and steak, beans and rice, topped with chorizo, pineapple, and shrimp. Amazing is nothing short of IT for this must try burrito. The flavors really mesh. We ordered a side of guacamole and the accompanying tortillas were piping hot. Soo good! It was nice to have such good quality food from a Mexican restaurant. We may have found a new favorite place! The ambience was good and the placed was packed. It helps that on the inside wall of the restaurant are windows that look out on to the fully active bowling alley lanes. Nice set up! Seems to work well.

    Dining out alone is a new experience for me. I started to get carry out, but decided to dine in. My family use to come here twice a month years ago and we loved our servers. They knew that we were interested in learning Spanish and each time we dined.. they served us using English and Spanish. The food was always amazing... very consistent. But over time we became more diet conscious and our trips to Cancun decreased. Today I decided to visit alone, in hopes that the smiles we'd come to enjoy would enhance my dining experience. I was more observant today. Taking in all of the improvements that have been made in the building since we were regulars. I was greeted by a very warm smile and felt good to be 'home'. I always ordered the chicken fajita quesadilla... And it was ALWAYS amazing. But today, I wanted to try something different. I asked my server for a recommendation and he didn't disappoint. I ordered his favorite dish and I really enjoyed it. My food was delivered by another server. He left it, but didn't seem to be happy to do so. I figured I'd wait for my server to ask for extra napkins. Ten minutes passed and no one came to check on me. I realized that I had headphones on so I removed them immediately. I kinda wanted a little bit of conversation. Ten minutes more pass... Now I'm disappointed. No one cares if my drink needs to be refilled. Nobody cares if I like my food. I wanted some pico di gallo but didn't want to bother the grumpy server. Five more minutes pass and up pops my server. He was the nicest guy... why did he disappear? Is everything okay, can I get you anything? I requested a box and a check. He brought them immediately and proclaimed that he'd drawn me a flower. It was nice.. But is that what he was doing instead of serving me? I boxed my delicious food up and went on my way. The hostess/cashier asked how my food was and I shared my disappointment with her. She said she'd talk to him. All in all, the food was amazing (as usual). I'll come back with others... but not alone. This is usually a 5 star experience, but not today. I hope to give the 5 star review later.

    long story short: a lot of potential but too empty to deliver on the fun club energy…read more We went on Saturday night around midnight & the place was pretty empty. There was a DJ & a dance floor, but very few people were dancing, which was disappointing. The place itself was cool with colorful lights & fun graffiti-like walls, but the aesthetic was let down by the lack of people. We enjoyed the free popcorn & I really liked my drink, the downside up, although I realize it's probably too sweet for most. Unfortunately, the cocktail & popcorn didn't make up for the dead atmosphere & we left pretty quickly. I would be interested in going again & seeing what it would be like when it's lively; I imagine it would be a fun spot when the dance floor is full!

    This is the coolest bar, I was visiting my cousins in Cincy and they said that I needed to visit,…read morewe popped over here after dinner. It was a nice night so we took advantage of being able to sit outside. I love all the random art and set up of the back. To drink I had the chunker, which was gin in a San Pelegríno it was a very refreshing drink! Deceptively doesn't taste like alcohol. I noticed some people with white claws and little airplane bottles so naturally I have to have a strong claw as well. We also had some very tasty shots, all around we had a good time, just hanging out and enjoying drinks, can't wait to come back here and visit again!

Food: 5/5 Dishes are explained as slightly larger plates than tapas style. My favorites: Wood Grilled Octopus, Crispy Falafel, Bouillabaisse. Love the Moroccan Mint Tea as well! Service: 4.7/5 Very friendly! They course out your plates for you which I always love. They were able to accommodate my pescatarian diet (I.e., meats on the side to give to others at the table). On a less busy night, they offered a free toast for my birthday. I've been for other celebratory dinners here on busier nights where that hasn't happened, so it was a lovely surprise! Ambiance: 4/5 A little busy and can get loud on the weekends with table chatter, cutlery clinks, and the brick walls echoing noise around. Tables are also close together, so you can definitely hear the conversation next to you. The decor is pleasant and the lighting is soft and romantic enough that it is still a perfect date night spot! There are also a couple larger crescent booths for larger parties.
