Great experience! My husband and I have wanted to try this place out. We have been to the OTR location a few times but this place is closer to home. We put a reservation in for a weeknight evening and easily showed up and got seated at our time. Probably didn't need the reservation but who knows? We both shared the meal for two. I can't remember exactly what it's called but it was totally worth it. The money spent was well worth it and the food was just amazingly delicious! From all of the meats to the empanadas, we were happy! The ambience here was pretty nice. Very eclectic but also very rancho in South America kind of vibe that you get at Argentine places. Definitely would return! We learned that brunch has come back so we definitely want to come back for brunch someday since we haven't had brunch at the OTR location in a few years since they got rid of it. Glad to have this place nearby!

Step into Argentina at Ché!! From the cozy intimate atmosphere & top tier service to the incredible food, everything feels like an authentic experience! Starting as a food truck 2014, Juan Imeroni teamed up with Alfio Gulisano have now grown an empanada empire with 2 restaurant locations & catering as well! They're known for their delicious empanadas, but their whole menu is filled with authentic cuisine that will have you coming back for more. My Server, Gabby, was so kind & extremely knowledgeable. She helped me navigate my way through the menu with ease! I got the Yuca Fries, Triple Dip, De Carne, Jerk Chicken & Cubano Empanadas, Spiced Pork Rinds, Ché Hamburguesa & Ché Fries, 1 of each sauce, and a Blueberry Cheesecake Empanada for dessert. Each bite was bursting with bold flavors & had me craving more! My favorite was the De Carne Empanada with the Jalapeño Crema, phenomenal!! This is the perfect place for a romantic date night, so grab your boo & take a trip to Ché! You will not be disappointed!! 2038 Madison Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45208 https://checincinnati.com/ Instagram & TikTok: @biteswithmissb #biteswithmissb #che #foodiereview #smallbusinesssupporter #cincinnati

long story short: decent food, decent service We went as a big group (7 people) & they were very accommodating to our size. The restaurant itself is eclectically decorated, which I thought added a lot of fun character to the place. Our waiter was good, but maybe not the most knowledgeable; one person in our group asked his preference between two wines and he said, "they're both malbecs, so they both taste the same to me." He was attentive and quick, though, so the service was good overall. We got a wide variety of food an everyone enjoyed. I got three empanadas- jerk chicken, cubano, and chicken salsa verde. They were all a bit mild in flavor, but the green salsa helped with that. The empanada shell was wonderfully crispy and flakey and the fillings varied; the salsa verde was my favorite while the cubano was disappointing because it was a bit bland. I heard both the wings and the tater tots were a bit overly crispy but still good. Overall, the food was good but I'm not rushing to go back.

Food was amazing!! Short ribs and meats were amazing! Chris our server was the best, friendly and informative. Place is a good vibe, 10/10, would go back.

Came to Ché for the first time for an early Sunday dinner! We arrived a bit earlier than our reservation but it was no issue! I absolutely love the atmosphere here- super cozy, comfortable, it was great. I absolutely recommend the queso and guacamole- coming from someone who is not the biggest guac lover, this was my favorite guacamole I've ever had! The queso was amazing as well- there was not a drop left. We've all never had empanadas before, and they blew us away. The short rib, jerk chicken, and spinach ones are my absolute favorites! The sauce options are so necessary too. Love Ché, I want to come back to try the tacos and in the summer to sit on the patio!

This was another restaurant on our bucket list. We went to the Che' at the Over The Rhine location years ago and really enjoyed it. This restaurant is very close to us and I like this location better. The inside is very rustic with an eclectic Spanish style decor. Loved it! Very inviting and cozy. We went on an early Saturday dinner and got lucky to be seated right away. Reservations are recommended because they get super busy. The main reason why we came here is mainly for their specialty empanadas and the wing special (wing week). So we get two in one visit! Even better! Their menu has so much to offer but so hard to choose from. Entrees, salads, tacos, appetizers and of course their empanadas. Drink menu of course has a great selection. We ordered: Drinks: -Humberto Canale Malbec -Quilmes lager Dinner: -House-smoked wings tossed in a sriracha picante red chili sauce -Empanadas: four cheese, mushroom and feta, short rib, chicken salsa verde, Korean BBQ, De Espinaca -Side of Roasted Brussels sprouts We didn't have to wait long. Our empanadas were amazing. Their chimchurri sauce that came with it paired well! I especially love the Gorgonzola sauce as well, included with our wings! The wings were very tender and had great flavor. Their Brussels Sprouts is a must get if you want an extra side. It's hard to choose a favorite. They were all good. We had such a great experience and I can't wait to go back. The service was great! I may have to grab their empanadas to go in the refrigerated section next time I come back.

Ché has been on my list for restaurants I wanted to check out for quite a while now so I was excited to finally get to eat here! We got there a little after 8 on a weeknight, so the only other customers there were on their way out. We got seated right away, then they brought us waters without us having to ask, which was nice. I stuck with water, but hubby ordered the Kick In The Face Cocktail with habanero, which was tasty but very spicy! We ordered 4 different empanadas between the two of us so we could try a variety and they were all very good. I think I liked the Cuban the best, but it really was difficult to choose a favorite because they were all really that good. Service was very quick and very attentive and even though it was getting close to closing time, we didn't feel rushed. We will absolutely be back!

My lady and I went to the Che downtown a while back so we knew we had to try this location sometime too. Their empanadas were so good the first time so we knew they were gonna be good this time too. Even better was the fact that they were participating in Cincinnati Wing Week. We went on a Saturday for dinner and they were just starting to get busy. Reservations are definitely recommended because they do get a lot of business. We were sat at a table in the bar area that was very cool and had a retro/upscale divy feel. Their menu is just like the one downtown, loaded with Argentinian-inspired dishes of all kinds. Plus they have a full bar with plenty of options for libations (including Quilmes, my favorite Argentinian lager). We ordered the wings of course which were tossed in a sriracha picante red chimi sauce and served with gorgonzola dressing. We also got six empanadas (short rib, de espinaca, four cheese, chicken salsa verde, Korean BBQ, and mushroom & feta) and a side of roasted brussel sprouts. For drinks, my lady had a glass of the Humberto Canale malbec and I had a Quilmes. Even though they were getting busy, we didn't wait long at all before everything came out. The wings were super tasty and had just the right amount of spicy kick. The sprouts were some of the best I've had in a while. And the empanadas were as epic as always. Speaking of said empanadas, you can get them to go in take-and-bake packages now too, so you can enjoy them fresh at home. So glad to know we have a great empanada spot with minutes of where we live. I have no doubt we'll be stopping by here again for more and more wings. Though I bet those aren't the only tasty options on theie menu and I'd like to find out.

If you haven't had an empanada from Ché, stop what you're doing and go! These delightfully fried pastries are Argentina's favorite street food. Ché started as a food truck, then they opened in Over-the-Rhine in 2016, and a couple of years ago expanded close to my home in O'Bryonville. My wife and I have visited multiple times recently. Each time at least one of us had the mushroom and feta, the chicken salsa verde, and the jerk chicken. These are good ones to start with. I've also heard great things about the short rib. They also have more interesting flavor combinations such as buffalo chicken or even a Cuban. They cost $4.75 each, and I think two or three make for a good meal. The menu at Ché also features tacos, sandwiches, salads, and more. Plus a full bar with some awesome cocktails and a great draft beer selection.

It is on the pricier side. Empanadas should not be that small and pricy. The staff are real nice on the plus side.

Are the empanadas baked or deep fried?

Deep fried in Canola Oil. However, there are frozen "Take & Bakes" you can purchase to bake at home. Those come in packs of 6, of the same flavor of empanada. However…

First, I have not been to Abigail street in two years, because I now live in Maine. Every time I…read morereturn to Cincinnati I go to Abigail street, EVERY TIME. Heck, my wife was there in June and had the nerve to send me pictures of each course, but I digress. So why write this review now, well let me tell you. I just got back from a trip to Scotland and we went to what was supposedly the best Tapas place in Edinburgh, and it was not even close to Abigail street. So, rather than write a scathing review for that place, I figured I would come on and write this review instead. Food: 7/5 (I know, more than 100%). The reason, the food is beyond exceptional, but the pacing of the meal is great. We usually order 6-7 dishes (always finish with the ricotta and honey) and they will come out one or two at a time. You get to savor each dish, and then laugh and talk with your party about how good that course was and then BOOM, more amazing food arrives. Service: 5/5 - never had a bad thing at all. Watched them handle some very difficult circumstances with some very entitled people with such grace and professionalism. Also, they are so knowledgable, but more than that, they are not afraid to not know something. They work as a team. If one of the staff knows the wines better, they will answer wine questions. It is a rarity to find a staff at a restaurant that truly works as a team like that. Atmosphere: 5/5 - from the second you walk in, relaxed, calm, comfortable. The whole establishment welcomes you in, exuding confidence in the culinary adventure you are about to experience. Drinks: 5/5 - the cocktails may be a 6/5. The wines are delicious. Consistency: 5/5 - every time I go it is an incredible experience. Value: 5/5 - be ready to drop some money, but also know that that it will be so worth it.

We…read moretypically like small plates, bar seating and a lively scene where we can interact with others. This place hit all the boxes. We were able to score bar seats without a reservation and had a nice time here. Parking - we ubered here, it looks like they had street parking but that might have been more tricky. We tried: Octopus - great, a tad salty Gambas - my husband enjoyed this Salmon - I especially liked the crunchy chickpeas Chenin Blanc Normandia White Blend Neon Lights (cocktail) - not my favorite Rosé - amazing, a great porch pounder.

We were welcomed warmly and seated at what I think is the very best table in the restaurant. It's the booth that feels like you're almost in your own private room. It kind of hugged us into our own little world and was perfect for a birthday dinner. Then there was Joel, the loveliest of servers. Fun, funny, knowledgeable about the food and just delightful. Joel gets five stars all by himself. We all started with the El Luchador cocktails. They were SPICY. Probably a touch too spicy for some people, but we loved them. Now, I'll be honest. When I first looked at the menu, I was concerned. I don't like goat cheese. I know, I know. I like ALL the other cheeses, just not goat cheese. And this is a goat cheese heavy menu. But I jumped to conclusions because there turned out to be plenty for me to eat. We started with the PAN CON TOMATE. Get this. It's amazing. It seems like it should be simple, but they've somehow elevated it to another level. SANDÍA CON MACHA. This is one of those dishes where you imagine someone in the kitchen putting these flavors together and asking, "Is this good?" And the answer is YES. ACEITUNAS ALIÑADAS Y QUESO MURCIA AL' VINO. They were kind enough to keep my olives from mingling with the goat cheese. The olives I had were meaty and delicious. MEJILLONES CON VINO. My FAVORITE. The mussels were fantastic, but the fennel and that dreamy broth were what really did it for me. PULPO. I tried it. It was delicious. Eating octopus just freaks me out because they're so smart. This is not Mita's fault. This is between me and the octopus. TOSTADA DE CANGREJO. My second favorite thing of the night. A party-in-your-mouth situation. YUM. TACOS DE CORDERO. I didn't eat these, but the others in our party were very happy. BROCHETAS DE POLLO. By this point we were FULL, but these were still very good. Tender, nutty and just the right amount of kick. Overall, the flavors here are unexpected in the best possible way and clearly created by someone who really knows their stuff. If you're up for a culinary adventure, this is absolutely the place. And even if you're not particularly adventurous, there are plenty of delicious things here that can make a special night feel even more special. Fantastic food, fantastic service and a fantastic birthday dinner. And Joel, five stars. Sorry about the lack of photos.

The waitstaff was friendly and helpful with the menu. We ordered a variety of items, including the empanadas, the plantains, 2 ceviches, cheese plate, chicken skewers, and mussels. The empanadas, standard ceviche, and skewers were good. The rest were pretty meh. See my pictures for more but it was a very uneven meal. I got the cheesecake for dessert and it was slightly frozen in the middle. All in all, it's a good restaurant but not great as the food was inconsistent. But if you want to come on a date or for a group dinner, it's worth the visit. Just be selective of what you get.

When I say weird, it's not because it's different, it's because it's just ... both not good and really unusual combinations. The prices are high too paired with the fact that I think much of the ingredients were canned goods (literally the fish is canned, but I also suspect that for example, our peppers stuffed with cheese came out of a can and the fig topped on our goat cheese bruschetta also out of a can).

The place it turns out reflects the fact that they bought what was a refined saloon (where the Brat Boyz might have met in the 50s), along with a decidedly modern vibe in the back. I could ramble on about the food, but the salad makes the point. Everything they have is familiar .. with a twist. The salad is extra fresh because it is a head of romaine artfully sauced with a test for herbivores to practice turkey carving skills. The other dishes mirror that sort of familiar-meets -twist take. Devilled eggs (something I decidedly avoid at buffets) was quite good, with a homemade chili oils and black salt. The staff was quite chill, engaging but not talking your ear off. Much of the staff were childhood buddies who decided (I guess successfully) to test their friendship by going into business to together. The only part I'd quibble is the '1937' thing (it's when the Gold Star owner was born, not 2020 when the restaurant opened). But you know, quibbles get muffled when uttered with a mouth full of Biscoff 'meatloaf' (thick cut) and home made OrangeCello.
