    Chilaquiles
    Katherine D.

    Was around the area and looked up places near by and this place came up. We ordered chilaquiles, alambres and chiles toreados. This was to go, however, the service was great. They were very friendly and offer different kind of salsas. The food was outstanding, both dishes were delicious, loved the chilaquiles. They had beef steak and for the price the portions were great. This is a must try place, I will for sure go back

    Chicken street taco

    The food is always so good. whenever I'm craving street tacos, this is the place! fast and owners are so nice. Online ordering is easy!

    Steak Burrito

    Want to hit up some cheap Tex-mex fast food without going to "The Bell"? This is a locally owned place that does just as well, and you can get booze too. Margs, tequila, and Scotch? Burritos are legit.

    I really enjoyed my meal here. I had never been, and As I walked in I heard the other customers all speaking Spanish. That's a sign it was going to be good. Placed my order and as I waited I also learned that all of the Spanish-speaking clientele had ordered a torta as their orders came up. Note to self: try the torta next time. I had two tacos and a chorizo quesadilla. All were packed with meat. And delicious. I also had the flan which was amazing. Can't wait to come back and try that torta.

    I won't lie I don't know for a fact that this is definitely the best Mexican spot in cincinnati, I've been trying to find the best burrito and I didn't even get a burrito there. The torta sounded way too damn good and the gentleman working there, who turned out to be the owner's son and manager made it pretty clear that anything I ordered was going to be delicious so I just went with what I was craving. he chatted with the woman behind me and myself as we waited for the order to come out, offering us drinks of watermelon aquafresca, which was fantastically light and refreshing, and discussing their closing hours (which is really more like a general suggestion of when they probably start to clean up). Dude was very cool, and when it came time to pay I damn near had to fight him to take a tip period even though he loaded me down with their homemade salsas, a refreshingly cilantro heavy Verde and probably the spiciest of hot sauces that I've had. The gigantic sandwich came out loaded up, and the house chorizo that they make provided a nice thick layer of balanced Smoky flavor across the bottom. The bread was grilled and toasty, layers of flavorful toppings help drive it home. I need to go back, I need to try the burrito, but right now I can tell you for a fact that they are one of the best spots I've had. Made even better by the customer service and the dope patio to get a bit of fresh air while munching on some delicious Mexican food!

    Steak torta

    Ordered steak torta without onions. Very doughy. Mainly tasted breaded. Ordered without onion but they made it with onions. Also ordered chips and mild salsa. The salsa was very spicy. Felt front counter area was a little worn.

    Pretty good tacos over at Chilero, I'll be back to enjoy some more. I appreciate having a no-frills, focus on the tacos, type place in Cincinnati - the idea of spending $5+ on a taco is very confusing for me. At Chilero's, you can order your tacos traditional, with cilantro and onion, or tex-mex, with lettuce, cheese, sour cream, etc. It's mostly a takeout place but they have 4 tables or so so you can sit down to eat, as I did. I ordered one of each of their tacos - carne asada, pollo, pastor, and chorizo. My favorite was the chorizo and I found the carne asada to be a bit dry. I'm glad they give you limes and salsa for your tacos. I'm giving this place high marks because the people there were really friendly and they even gave me a flan to enjoy (yum!). I want to go back to try their tortas and their tamales.

    We tried out this new place for lunch today and it was ok. It's a small place in Kenwood, near Madeira. It only has four small tables and all the food is served in styrofoam containers, so I think it's more of a take-out concept. We were greeted by the owner upon entering, who is very nice, and offered a taste of their fresh Horchata. It had a very good flavor. It is only available in a large size, so we did not order it. I ordered 3 Chorizo tacos. You have the option of 'traditional' or 'tex-mex' for toppings. I chose traditional, which is cilantro and onion. My husband ordered 2 Pastor and 1 Steak tacos, also with traditional toppings. We also ordered some Chips & Salsa. We were asked if we'd like some hot or mild sauce for our tacos. My husband chose hot and I chose mild. All of the food tasted fresh, was a decent portion size and looked delicious. The best part of the tacos were the fresh tortillas. They were soft and had a nice, fresh flavor. Although, we both found the meat in our tacos to be lacking in flavor. I would definitely not order the chips & salsa again. The salsa was just ok. It had a decent amount of heat and tasted fresh but was fairly bland in flavor. The chips were over-cooked and really hard. They also lacked flavor. Over-all this place is ok and has potential. They haven't been open very long and hopefully will work out some of the kinks. We will try them again some time in the future.

    This area was not very good. The tortillas are soggy. It is a disgusting venue too. It is not a great place to get Mexican food.

    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!

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.
