    queso - A fried chip is dipped into a creamy, white sauce held above a cup of similar sauce, with a paper bag nearby.
    Rebecca H.

    I was intrigued by the "turtle" I read about during my Cincy food tour research. I made a point of eating here if I was able to drum up any GI space during our trip. We were able to stop in before leaving for the airport on our last half day. We had already eaten 2 breakfasts and this was lunch so GF and I decided to share one. She also went rogue and ordered not only chips and queso but a LARGE chips and queso. The place was empty upon our arrival and actually looked closed but it was a quite a relief that it wasn't. The person working there was patient with us while we obnoxiously discussed our decision making out loud before placing the order. She recommended the diablo for the spicy-inclined as well as the southwest. I was thrilled to see tofu as a protein option which we chose to go in our southwest turtle. I also chose of the impressive number of beers they have on draught. I noticed after ordering this that they also have margaritas and some other fun concoctions. The food came out pretty quickly. The turtle was bundled like a warm baby in foil and accompanied by one of their sauces. It is quite photogenic when you open it up. It was pretty stuffed with rice, some lettuce, corn salsa, a few jalapeño strips, peppers, and a really deliciously flavored tofu. Last but not least was the cheddar cheese which was not only inside but also crisped on the outside of the turtle to perfection. This was very filling and the texture combo was on point. I do think the refreshing but umami taste of a hot sauce, tomato-based salsa, or diced tomatoes would have elevated the shit out of this. THIS was what was missing for me. The queso was very good as well. It was warm and served a little chameleon with the viscosity, at first dip, it was thicker but with a gentl stir, it became more liquid. The chips tasted like they were homemade, nice and crisp and not too thick. The inside is pretty cool too. I went to use the bathroom before leaving (pineapple cider, you understand) and there was zero paper whatsoever in there. No TP. No paper towels. Sigh. Not sure what that means about the staff washing their hands but I don't want to speculate.

    Located in a lively area of OTR, Gomez is a unique fast casual Mexican joint. The signature item is the Turtle, which is basically a crunch wrap on steroids. The southwestern and baja wraps were flavorful and colorful and the diablo wrap was decent. While it packed a big punch of spice, the spiciness overpowered the other flavors. The chips and queso were good as well. The queso was a bit too thin but had a satisfying flavor. The space can get quite cramped, but that is just a testament to how popular it is!

    I am in love with the food and the flavors here. I love the chips and queso, and their burrito bowls. Sadly I can't have their turtle since I'm gluten free, but I have only heard and seen wonderful things from my friends who have eaten it. Beware - the habanero sauce is truly very spicy!! My partner can handle most habanero sauces, and this one got him good. ;)

    The turtles on the menu are a delicious burrito like item that you can choose to fill the way you like. Sauce is delicious. This location is within walking distance to many things downtown.

    Truthfully, this "turtle" was flat out outstanding. After each bite I wonder where these incredible tastes came from. Incredible late night bite.

    A printed receipt from Gomez Salsa in Cincinnati, OH, dated October 4, 2023, shows a takeout order including a burrito and a taco, with details about the order and server.

    The past few times I've eaten here I order my food vegan and they still add cheese to it despite the receipt saying vegan no dairy. I know mistakes happen but it's been multiple times in a row. As a restaurant owner I feel the staff needs to communicate better. When I get this it's usually after work and by the time I get home and sit down to eat they are closed for the night and I'm not able to get my order replaced. Food is good but vegans double check your order before you leave if you are getting carry out.

    Wow. This is the second year I have gone here while in Cincinnati. Amazing, affordable, Scrumptulecent food with an ample selection of brews and cocktails! Put this on your must taste list for the next time that you Queen City and your palate and gullet will Fank Yees!

    Guacamole

    We had a Friday date night in and wanted to try something new, so we ordered Gomez on DoorDash. W O W!!!!!!!!! This place is seriously so delicious. It both satisfies the want for savory yummy Mexican, while maintaining delicious and fresh ingredients. The guacamole tasted very fresh, bright, and creamy. I am vegan so I got a tofu turtle with no dairy, and my fiancé got a chicken turtle. We will absolutely be ordering again or coming in!

    El Barril Mexican Sports Bar and Grill has a prime location in Mt. Adams at the corner of Pavilion…read moreand St. Gregory. My wife and I were in the mood to try something new to us, so we popped in for a dinner date. The restaurant space is pretty large, especially for Mt. Adams. It's sort of an indoor/outdoor location, with a large covered patio and large garage doors that open the indoor space in all directions. Certainly a nice place to visit when the weather is good, but the food is just as good as the location, and therefore worthy of a visit no matter the season. My wife and I shared a pitcher of margaritas ($26.99 for the gold), and they were very tasty. Even though they were not prepared to order, it did seem that they had been prepared recently and had great fresh ingredients. My typical Mexican restaurant order is the chimichanga. Theirs is a large tortilla, filled with shredded chicken, beans, and cheese, deep-fried, and topped with lettuce, guacamole, tomato, and sour cream. This is served with rice and beans ($15.25). This was very good and the ingredients were fresh! My wife ordered the chile verde, a delicious plate of slow-cooked pork simmered in a savory green chile sauce. Again served with rice and beans, along with tortillas on the side ($18.50). Another really good dish, and one that is not very common in the Cincinnati area. Go give it a try!

    I ate here a year ago for burger week and it was yummy We finally came back for the Mexican food…read moreThe burrito loco is filled with chicken beef grilled onions and topped with guacamole and pico de gallo Delicious My hubby got the steak burrito and ate every bite
