    Went here for taco week. Tacos were delicious. Service could have been slightly better.

    This was my second trip to El Trompo and I will be back. Food is reasonably priced especially for the portions and deliciousness. Every plate comes out looking amazing!

    Place is just amazing! great ambiance and food is plentiful , this is my 2nd year in a row coming after the Cincinnati Open and I can say ... today was even better than last year

    Tacos "Doblados" so good and crunchy!

    Packed with flavor! This place was so good and filling! Plenty of selections on the menu. I ordered the Tacos Doblados and every bite was crisp and delicious. The guac, tomato and sour cream made it even better and the beans were so flavorful and had some kick to them. My husband got the burger "La Matador" and it was huge and filled with shrimp and they put a sparkler on it so it was literally on fire when it came out. Great Mexican restaurant!

    Where to begin here.... The good- service was good and the food was out fast. If you like blander food this is for you. The bad-This is just average at best. Very bland food, little spice and their quesadilla feels like a large taco. Not a place id return to.

    Authentic al pastor tacos, great service! Tacos al pastor are my favorite, super flavorful meat. Fresh ingredients. Get a side of guac so you can put it on top of your tacos - it is yums!!! Wish they would fry the tortilla to make it more sturdy haha, but overall excellent.

    First time here and it was a good experience. It is a nice modern space with a creative menu. We ordered the Baja Seafood Tacos and the Pina Loca Changa a delicious shrimp and lobster burrito (sorry no photo). The prices are competitive and food is delicious.

    This is the chicken Fajitas! Sooooo good! Everything we got was great & the atmosphere is amazing! Great food, service, and ambiance!

    We loved getting to visit this restaurant! There were SO many different options for food that I had never tried or seen before. Our server was super helpful and attentive, and the manager even came over to check on us at one point. I absolutely adored the atmosphere they had going on as well. The place is very well decorated and super comfortable. The margaritas were delicious, and the food was yummy, hot, and fresh! My only negative point is that the chips could've been fresher, but the queso was so good we almost didn't even notice! If we didn't live 4 hours away we would be visiting regularly!!

    Flaming Cheese Fajitas

    we walked in and were immediately sat! the ambiance was very cute and modern mexican decorated. the menu selection was huge and i had such a hard time deciding on one thing to order. i ended up getting the flaming cheese fajitas and they were delicious!!!! they steak was flavored so freaking good and was definitely my favorite. my husband got the quesabirrias and thought they were pretty good except fell apart a little and needed more cheese. overall, for SURE (as in not even close) the best Mexican we have had in cincinnati (coming from a texan and arizonian). we will for sure be back!

    Food is very fresh, waiter was polite and timely. I had a shrimp dish with rice and vegetables. Tasty! E also tried a bereits which was large and had great flavor. The show stopper though was the appetizer called Asada Fries. Steak, cheese, fries, their own sauce and more cheeses, absolutely fantastic! Fair prices for what you get as well, check this place out!

    Always good. Still not happy with the credit card fee however. Good place still. We love to come…read morehere.

    I have never had anything less than a really good meal here. Sometimes great. The people who work…read morehere are a family and they are so friendly. Go on Tuesdays and Thursdays for their taco specials if you want to save a little money. One of these days I'm going to get the mocha. I usually get fajitas. Their shrimp is fantastic, the Carne, the chicken, everything is really good here. My wife and I ate lunch here one time and add a nearby table were Hispanic men speaking Spanish. It looked like their lunchtime from wherever they were working. Several of them had big balls with crab legs sticking out out of them. There is a dish on the menu that describes itself that includes crab legs so I assume it was that. It was very tempting. They also have a decent Mexican beer selection, and a nice selection of tequilas. My son is 32 and every time we bring him here to eat I feel like we have wasted our time. He always orders the chicken quesadilla. He has done this since he was little. I wish he would be a little more adventurous and find a few more things that he really likes. So my review is: go to La Jaiba for lunch and dinner and I think you will be very happy with the results.
