    Location/Restaurant; right in downtown Newark, super cute place. It is order at register and food called once done, no servers. Decor is Flamingos meet the Arizona cactus, super cute! Food; On this trip order the smash burger, and it was mighty tasty. Odd, it would appear place is more taco driven, but the smash burgers are yummy and large. Ice cold beverages, and the dole whip adult drink was GREAT. Service; Our order taker with super helpful for first timers, and friendly.

    It's a terrible place. The tacos are terrible. The service ...ugh terrible. The drinks... terrible Kidding *see photos! Such a cute place!! Definitely will cure any winter blues and will be GREAT for summer! Food - ugh sadly it was so tasty!! What a great spot! I was working in Newark for a couple days, googled good restaurants in Newark - I was Pleasantly surprised!! Ample parking Walk up/drive-thru window - but why?! Too cute to not come in! 4-stars because the cashier was also bartending and mixing up drinks! Which took a little while - not a big deal. Don't sleep on this place. Oh my gosh it's terrible. Disclaimer: their motto 'MNCHS' It's a terrible place

    The food is absolutely fantastic. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Plenty of room for seating and everything was absolutely spic and span. We will absolutely be back to try some more of the other concoctions.

    Smash burger (Fatty)

    The first thing that comes to mind when I think of MNCHS is the owner's marketing on social media. I love it, lol. The lady embodies the phrase "I'm rubber, you're glue"--she takes all criticism in stride and doesn't hide it from anybody, even when I mistakenly call her a "guy" while writing this review. The place has a fun vibe when it comes to staffing choices and ambiance. It's small, vibrant, and full of things to catch your eye inside the restaurant. They also help promote and support other local businesses, which is always an additional thumbs up. The menu is full of awesome daily specials, and they're not afraid to step outside the box with their dishes. Now, let's get to the food, which is what everyone really wants to hear about. The smash burger? Elite! Crispy meat lace on the patty from a ripping hot flat top and a proper smash, with a soft and toasted bun and well-seasoned beef. Three things that seem easy to get right, right? Wrong. I've seen a dozen burger spots fall short in at least one of these categories. I do have a bias towards a smash burger, but whatever, sue me. This place does them right! The birria tacos are good, not great. The flavor is banging, the beef texture is awesome, well-seasoned of course, and they don't skimp on the consommé or the cheese. Personally, I don't enjoy cilantro or raw onion very much. Yeah, I know, man-child lol! So don't take my criticism to heart when it comes to the tacos. The consommé has a strong cilantro flavor, so it's not my jam. I do recommend that if you get the tacos, dine in or eat them quickly--don't let them sit in takeout boxes for too long. They're corn tortillas soaked in consommé, so they're bound to get soggy over time. I didn't get a photo for some reason, but the queso fundido and chips are absolutely a hit, and you get a generous portion for the price. I recommend visiting and giving them a fair shake.

    Carnitas taco and shrimp taco. Very tasty.

    Quick and tasty meal. Give order and in a few minutes, your order is ready. When finished just pitch your disposables plates and napkins in the trash. Friendly service.

    Birria Tacos

    I absolutely love street tacos especially birria so I decided to give this place a shot since it had some good reviews for their Birria tacos. This place is more than just Mexican food as they are known especially for their smash burger which I will have to go back and try! Inside you will find a chill atmosphere with a bartender mixing up some of the customer's favorite drinks. Kinda reminds me of a little tiki bar. When I walked in the line was almost to the door. From the time I ordered to the time I received my food it was approximately 15 minutes which I didn't think was bad since they were so busy. Staff were all very friendly. As for me y review of their Birria tacos.....flavor was good but seemed overpowered by what I'm guessing to be a chipotle sauce that the menu stated is on these tacos. For me, the chipotle took away from the authentic taste of a good Birria taco. Even so, they were packed with great flavor and they were gone in no time! Next time I will order them without the chipotle and I would recommend to them that they just put this on the side to let the customer decide if they want that on the tacos. I will certainly be back to try other menu items!

    The food here is delicious and the prices are good. Not only is the food good but the cocktail menu is pretty extensive. I definitely would recommend to people visiting this area.

    I live in Columbus Ohio and have been eyeing this place for months. My birthday was Friday so I finally decided that I'll make the drive out to Newark to give it a try. I am so glad that I did. I gorged myself I ordered the smash burger, two birria tacos, and the potelote. The smash burger was an absolute 10/10, loved the tacos and the potelote was great too. I also ordered a mixed drink called the painkiller which was also very good. I was a big fan of the decor, vibes and overall my only gripe is I don't live closer. This is a phenomenal spot and I really look forward to coming back soon.

    For some of the best #Nachos #Tacos #quesadillas #Burgers Near #centralohio Head out to #Newark #Ohio and go to @mnchskitchen I was blow away but the taste of everything here. Everything that I've had thus far has been seasoned to perfection. I already make this trek to go to @pizzanerdsoh so this place just increased the amount of money I'll be spending on gas to get out here. I did the #chorizo on the nachos and that thang was thanging for real. I've not had nachos in a while that was well balanced in regards of seasoning and heat. The #birriatacos were truly majestic in terms of visuals and taste. The thing that put these tacos over the top was that they werent fatty. The #chickenquesadilla made the whole meal worthy of being the thing I would order if ever put in a last meal situation.

    MNCHS Kitchen is the food staple at one of the best permanent food truck/brewery combos I have visited. Since all I can think about lately is birria tacos, I've made it my mission to know where all the best ones are! Since I live way out east of Columbus, MNCHS Kitchen caught my eye on Yelp. Though I think it only had maybe 1 review, the business photos on the page were enough to get me to visit. I rolled in right before closing on a Sunday, the truck's last open day of the week until Wednesday, grabbed a flight from inside of DankHouse, and was ready for MNCHS to make my birria dreams come true. To my (slight) dismay, they were out of Ramen for the evening, so my hopes of a $10 combo of birria ramen and 2 birria tacos were dashed. Instead we went for 3 birria tacos and a birria quesadilla. As I snapped golden hour photos trying not to salivate on my phone, I couldn't help but relish in the fall patio vibes of the experience.

    The food was okay but the hour wait for the food was unnecessary as there was barely anyone there.

    Pochos is by far one of the best restaurants, let alone Mexican restaurants, in the area! Their…read morefood is always fresh, quick, and delicious! My favorite thing there is the Baja Salad, which comes with ahi tuna and shrimp-the tuna and shrimp are always cooked perfectly and the salad is nice! I also love their margaritas! Service is friendly!

    Service: waiters are friendly, but normally a younger crowd so can give off that "just doing my…read morejob" attitude at first. Sometimes a little slow and can find yourself waiting for water at times. Ambiance/Atmosphere: the inside is very nice and although narrow doesn't feel crowded or stuffy. Lighting is dimly lit enough for a nice date night, but not at all to dark. Food: The pocho burrito was amazing the first time I had it, followed by the second and third time even. Just a delicious burrito with an amazing habanero cream sauce and packed full of all three meats. I'd genuinely argue from my memory that it was the best burrito I'd ever had. That being said, I'd highly recommend skipping to go. The last 2 times I had it which has been over a year because I simple could not return it was just that disgusting. I was disheartened to have wasted my weekly cheat meals on it not once, but twice in arrow of dining here. The shrimp was hard, bland as if nothing was in my mouth, but still disgustingly fishy. The habanero sauce was tasteless and the avacado most definitely was not fresh. The chicken, steak, and peppers along with the tortilla still tasted good, but it was almost impossible to enjoy it pushing past the disgusting shrimp. The enchiladas were ok, but definitely a waste of money and calories. Not at all special. It seems that now this place is doing a bit better and has back to back 4 and even 5 star reviews. I'm giving Pocho's a 3 regardless of how awful my last two experiences were due to the fact the Pocho burrito was truly that delicious the first few times I had it. I raved about it and went back 3 weeks in arrow and even told my friends about it who loved it all the same. I used to even get two dining in and all three times getting it to go. Maybe it was my fault for trusting to go orders to much, but the first time it was just as amazing as dining in. I may give it another try as I truly do miss that delicious burrito, but I've discovered much better Mexican and don't want to risk wasting my time. Only time will tell if I give this place another shot.

    For those of you who follow my reviews, I enjoy finding new Mexican restaurants and food trailers…read moreto put their Birria tacos to the test! This place was an epic fail. Despite other reviews on this place, the staff were actually all friendly and attentive. When I walked in I could tell that this place is no more than a bar with dine-in seating surrounding it. I didn't really find the Birria tacos on their menu however when I inquired about them the waiter stated that they have them. I didn't have to wait long for my food however from the moment my plate arrived it was sheer disappointment. My plate arrived with 3 "Birria" tacos but there was not much about these that said "Birria". They were prepared on flour tortillas that were completely soft with no sign of the classic melted cheese on the tortilla, no limes, and no dipping broth. Of course I asked for limes and broth. The "broth" that was brought to my table appeared to be watered down taco grease and tasted as such! The tacos had a fair amount of meat, onions, and cilantro in the tortilla but these were a far cry from an authentic Birria taco. When I received my check I would discover a charge of $16.08 for a plate of Americanized tacos. Meat was dry and quite tasteless. If you're looking for a place that does not serve authentic Mexican food with higher than a giraffe's nuts pricing then this is your spot!!! I will not be a repeat customer.

This is one of our favorite places for the cozy family feel and great food, making it a great place to take the family when the kids are in town. The fajitas and flautas are two of our favorite dishes there. The vegetables in the fajitas are fresh , the flautist are crisp and never soggy or reheated, and the food is served hot and always flavorful. Very highly recommend. Good selection of beers and drinks, too.
