    Mazunte Centro - Just Not It! I really wanted to give Mazunte Centro another shot, but honestly, I should've trusted my memory. I came back hoping things had improved, but it was just as disappointing as last time. First off, no salsa station anymore--which used to be one of the best parts. Instead, they charge $3 for this tiny little cup of salsa. It just felt stingy. The place seemed super understaffed, so things were kind of chaotic. Tables were dirty, and we had to remind them about parts of our order more than once. I could tell the staff was trying, but they were clearly stretched too thin. The food was... fine. Not terrible, but definitely not on par with their Red Bank location, which is way better in every way. The biggest bummer? They suggest a 25% tip, even though you're basically doing a lot of the work yourself--like cleaning up your own table and chasing down missing items. And the margarita mix? Yikes. It tasted old and off, like it had been sitting around for days. Not the vibe I was going for on date night. Really sad this missed the mark because I was genuinely excited for the food. Safe to say, I won't be back to this location.

    Wish I would have gotten more pictures, but living downtown I passed this spot a million times and never stopped. I was originally down for the taste which was way too busy so I walked here to give it a try. The overall vibe of the spot is super chill, really nice seating as well. The employee taking my order was super helpful. The only negative was that they weren't serving chips and queso which looked amazing, but means I have to come back lol The food was incredible, I'll definitely be back. They run a deal to mix and match for 3 tacos and it was $13.95 well worth every penny.

    Tortillas, salsas and cervezas.. so good. Stumbled upon this place waiting for doors to open at the Taft. Super chill vibe, cheap for downtown (maybe even... anywhere?) and really great food.

    Went here as a stop on a food tour. The street tacos was simply amazing. Tender meat, nicely spiced, and homemade tortillas. Highly recommend! We ended up going back after the tour. Be sure to get the Chile Renello with goat cheese - very flavorful and a nice balance of fresh veggies with the pepper and goat cheese.

    Vegetarian/ vegan tacos

    **Vegetarian review** I am super excited to find a taco place that has vegetarian taco options. Not one, but THREE! I had one of each. Zucchini taco - tasted like grilled zucchini. I'll pass. Beet & Mushroom taco - I liked this! Chille releno taco - this one was the bomb! It was spicy, cheese, delicious!! Three tacos, however, didn't fill me up. I bought some quest and chips since I was still hungry. The queso is SO GOOD!!! Please get this if you want to eat delicious stuff The vibe of the place is chill. The interiors are colorful and the staff is very friendly. This place is right in downtown, parking is how it is in the city.

    Great lunch spot! Not a lot of seating, but you order at the counter and you can get it to go or have it brought to a table if you snagged one in time. Lots of taco options. You can mix and match if you want to try different things or get 3 of your favorite. I really enjoyed my birria tacos this time (only two of those, but they're bigger). I did get the carne asada tacos once and found them kind of dry. My coworkers all recommend the Al pastor tacos! I've also enjoyed their queso in the past! Great for sharing.

    I dropped by for a late lunch on a Monday. The food, like the original Mazunte, is very good. The tacos come on corn tortillas, which is great; however I prefer the double-tortilla tacos I get in other authentic Mexican restaurants. The tacos are small, like what I would expect at a tapas restaurant. The quality is very good, just a bit more limited in quantity and the amount of protein on each is relatively small. The interior has a nice funky vibe, with milk crate chairs and street art on the walls.

    We visited here after a long time and had a great time during cinco de Mayo! It was busy but the staff handled everything really well! Margs were strong and the tostadas were fresh! There were a few uncooked chips with our queso but queso and salsas were delicious! I got the tostadas with zucchini and these tostadas were piled high. I wish it came with the rice that's at the Madisonville Mazunte location though!

    It was slightly overwhelming to come into so many choices for tacos or tostadas (as well as other items on the menu). The service was great and they will help you with any questions that you have regarding the menu. It took a bit of time to get all of the food and each item came out separately with some time in between so don't come here to eat together with your friends. It was around dinner time a slightly busy. The inside was beautiful and had plenty to look at! The tacos themselves were very very good. Everything tasted fresh and well made. The corn tortillas were mild in flavor and delicious! Beware that everything has a very slight kick to it!

    Salad version of hongos y betabeles (mushroom and beet)
    Marie K.

    My experience at Mazunte Centro was ok. The artwork is incredible inside the restaurant and is definitely worth seeing. The dining area was clean, the service was quick, but the food could have been better. I was hoping to get a bowl of the pozole verde, but they were out. Instead, I asked if it were possible to order a salad, just to put some taco fillings over greens. They were able to do that. I appreciated their flexibility. The hongos y betabeles (mushroom and beet) filling was good, but the salad was just ok overall. Although the presentation was nice, the portion was quite small for the cost. I'd certainly be open to going back to Mazunte Centro, but I'd order something different.

    Shredded Chicken Taco w/a side of Guacamole
    Tafashila M.

    NO Additives NEEDED!!!! Stopped by this restaurant while on the Riverside Food Tour (Street car food and city tour). The tacos were moist and juicy!!! The guac was well seasoned, however they were heavy on the lime. There was NO extra seasoning, salsa or condiments needed for the taste of this meal. *** Fun fact, their Al Pastor is infused w/pineapple. As the meat cooks the juices of the pineapple seep into the Al Pastor. ***

    If you're familiar with the Oakley store, take the trip downtown. Different menu and it's off the chain. Spicier and superb.

First, the location is awesome-literally cattycorner from the stadium and the ambiance is great since the owner is from Ireland, the place really looks like an Irish pub (according to my husband, who has been to Ireland many times.) I love the cozy dining nooks dotted around the restaurant. We expected it to be slammed packed and it was busy, but we were able to get right in. We had the best waitress. She was so friendly and really chatted it up with us and made awesome menu recommendations. The food was so freakin' good! Since it was a gameday, they were only doing a limited menu but there was something on there for everyone. We tried the two wings on offer-BFG & Hot Honey, as well as the Big Bag of Fries. The food came out pretty quickly and was piping hot. OMG. The wings were so good. I literally couldn't pick a favorite flavor. I usually don't like thicker cut fries but the waitress assured me that I would like them and she was right! They were so crispy and the Marie Rose and homemade ranch sauces complimented them perfectly. Be aware that the Big Bag of Fries is just that, big! So definitely shareable. I'm obviously not in Cincy often, but the next time I'm there, I will definitely stop in!
