I love they have different sizes of cheese dip, sometimes I feel other places bowls are so small and here it is a small!

We first tried this place to get out of the rut of our usual Mexican spots, and it has now become…read moreour favorite, by far. It's always busy but never crowded - I think the longest we've had to wait for a table was 10 minutes. Everything we've tried on the menu has ranged from "solidly good" to "holy @#$! that was amazing." (Special shout out to the birria and the carnitas). All of the wait staff are friendly and the right amount of attentive, but Carlos and Jorge are our favorites - they know our drink and salsa/queso orders by heart.

I've eaten here 3 times over the last 10 years and each time I tell myself never again. This time…read moreI'm freezing it in my brain: Never Again! The first two times the food was just ok. This time about, 3 months ago , it was the worst ever food experience I have ever had over the decades of eating at Mexican restaurants across the USA. I ordered a steak and chicken fajita. My girlfriend ordered Soup Acteca. My order came out suspiciously too quick. It was a mixed up blob of vegetables mixed with the meat. Not sizzling. Vegetables and meat not separated.. I definitely should have sent it back but I did not. My girlfriend's soup came out 5 plus minutes later. The soup was cold. I definitely sent it back. And on top of that it was no where being close to what it should taste like. I never write reviews, good or bad. But 3 months later this experience stills gnaws at me. Poor service. Worst food ever. Hopefully this review will get their act together and consistently serve food consistently with the high yelp reviews it receives. Hopefully this was just rare off day for this restaurant!

This used to be one of the top 3 Mexican restaurants in the city decades ago. Now with the competition and poor management this place will wither, with shrinking profits and unless they sell and get new management they'll go into the dustbin of dead restaurants. Nice people and workers. Just bad management.

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!
