    Chicken Quesadilla
    Sarah H.

    We stopped here to grab lunch one day and it was lovely! It was a beautiful day and a lovely patio outside to sit. The inside decor is really fun and very themed. The margaritas are strong!! Which was great for us! The food was delicious - chicken was cooked really well and had a lot of flavor. I'd absolutely recommend!

    Second time having El Jinete and I'm a fan! Service is exceptional and always gets whatever you need. Ambiance is great as well with both indoor and outdoor seating. On to the food, as someone from Texas this is probably one of the best Mexican places I've had in Cincinnati. So many food options with huge portions and cheap prices. Would highly recommend for some mexican food!

    Super cheesy quesadilla
    Alyssa M.

    Visited this location for the first time after loving the Redbank one.. absolutely amazing! First thing I noticed was the beautiful dining area with such a great atmosphere. My fiancé and I received our chips and salsa right after sitting down (I was super hungry so I was very happy ) our server got our drinks asap as well, I got a house marg and he got a Pepsi. Our server, wish I knew his name, had slicked back hair and so attentive. I got a pollo poblano salad with the sauces on the side.. my fiancé got a pick 2 combo with the chimichanga and quesadilla. He loved the rice and beans, along with the cheese sauce for my salad. I 100% recommend visiting this place, not one bad part of my night .. thank you El Jinete!!

    Burnt bits from the grill all throughout my chicken fajitas.

    I've ordered El Jinete a few times through DoorDash, the first time routed to the Montgomery Road location and the next two to this location. With the Montgomery location, everything came out great. This location, not so much. Every time I got the chicken fajitas there was always a lot of chicken, which is great, but from this location, oddly, there were just a few onion strips. (I'd also requested no peppers, so I basically just had chicken with a little tomato.) Both times I went ahead and sautéed an onion so I'd have enough. My last meal, all the chicken/onion came with a ton of black burnt grill bits I had to pick off as they gave everything a burnt, bitter taste. I'm hoping if I order next time I can request the other location.

    Always good, every time! Workers are welcoming and the food comes out fast. Burrito El Barzon was a certified gasser.

    Visited here several years ago with a few friends and ordered probably four tacos ala carte. I can…read moreonly remember that I got the lengua taco and it was tender and tasty. Decided to visit again with my parents in town. Chips and salsa were complementary immediately, and the salsa had a nice kick. We ordered a couple bowls of guacamole as well, and it was just a really good, smooth, and well-seasoned guac. I was feeling a bit famished, so I ordered the Taco Loco: Deep-fried tortilla with grilled chicken, beef, shrimp, mushrooms, and tomatoes over rice topped with cheese. If that doesn't make your mouth water, I don't know what will. It was absolutely delicious. Flavorful meats, sauteed mushrooms, and the cheese was out of this world. Everyone else enjoyed their food too. Definitely my go-to Mexican restaurant in the area.

    I've been wanting to try this spot and wow it definitely lived up to the hype. The steak tacos were…read moredelicious and my favorite had to have been the chicken adobado tacos. They were tacos with marinated chicken that was juicy and had great flavor. They also give complimentary chips and salsa while waiting for the food which added to the experience. It's a pretty small space inside with a few booths and plenty of space at the counter to sit.
