We ordered the Gordita de Asada (I'm a little particular about the fat texture from meats and this one had some chewy pieces), the Sope de Chorizo, Tacos de Birria, and Flan for dessert (just okay).

You order when you walk in and then find your table. We went to the bar first and looked over the menu while have an adult beverage. The spicy margarita is outstanding!! You also get to speak with the staff and ask their suggestions on what to eat. Staff is amazing and offered plenty of suggestions. Nice little vibe in this hidden gem! We had loaded nachos as an appetizer and had everything from asada burritos to quesadillas between the 6 of us. Prices are as expected and affordable for what you get. Entrees are large and you leave full!! Definitely going back!!

It came out open-facing (and the bottom was slightly soggy), and I wish the menu had specified that cheese sauce would be used instead of an actual and more traditional cheese (I was expecting something like mozzarella). I really liked the idea of pineapple here, but it came straight from a can and wasn't cut into bite-sized pieces to match the other ingredients; I think this would be better if the pineapple was grilled alongside the meat! The margaritas were strong and tasty, and the flan was good, but probably doesn't need all the chocolate and whipped cream.

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!
