    3 chicken tacos with a side of rice
    Dantez N.

    Food : 10/10 Service : 10/10 Ambiance : N/A I normally steer clear of food trucks but this place is something special! As someone who has literally had tacos in Mexico, this place is the next best thing!! I generally call to place my order ahead of time for pick up as there is no inside to wait. The staff is always pleasant and patient. The portions are large, the prices are not bad, and the food itself is divine. I usually get the chicken tacos with a side of rice which has never missed the mark. 10/10 would recommend if your looking for that authenticate Mexican taste . Not my first visit and most certainly not my last.

    This place popped up a few weeks ago. I decided to check it out today because I wanted a afternoon snack to tide me over til dinner. It was fast and the taco hit the spot! I paid cash so I don't know if they take cards.

    Flawless food, made with care! I've probably been here way too many times since discovering but I'm not sick of it yet. The chicken tacos & steak tacos are my favorite. Ask for cheese sprinkled on top - you won't regret

    This guy is my guy. Tacos forever. Best forever. Give me the lime. Nothing more to say

    Always have driven past and finally stopped in. Made to order so always fresh. Service was quick and friendly. Got pastor and pollo, pastor was perfectly juicy and pollo was decent. They serve with limes cucumbers and radishes and a green and hot salsa! So good, trying my hardest to stay away but I'll be back my next off day! May want extra limes, as two tiny wedges was not enough for me but the salsa and meat were so good that I wasn't even mad!

    Outstanding authentic street tacos. Not sure if I've had better in Cincinnati. Generous portions too.

    The most amazing tacos Cincinnati has to offer. Made me feel like I was in Mexico blacked out with prostitutes in every bite of my taco.

    Cantina - Queso with chorizo

    Crown Cantina exceeded our expectations for brunch. The Breakfast Burrito was packed with flavor,…read moregenerously portioned, and wrapped in a perfectly crisp tortilla that gave every bite great texture. It was so substantial that I only made it through half. I enjoyed it with chorizo, but for a modest surcharge, they will make it with brisket! The Al Pastor Hash was the standout. It was beautifully balanced, full of bold, authentic flavors, and expertly prepared. One of my brunch-mates spends much of the year traveling through Latin America, and he was genuinely impressed. Excellent food, generous portions, and a memorable brunch experience. We'll definitely be back and look forward to trying more of the menu! Attentive service and a beautiful location in Downtown Cincinnati's quiet Pendleton neighborhood made the morning perfect.

    Surprised I've not heard of this place before my brother suggested we try it (some Bengals player…read morerecommended it on a podcast I guess). This is a solid place! I didn't think I'd find something that could compete with Bakersfield but this does. It has unique flare without being over the top like some places can. Like pairing pickled veggies with my shrimp? Yes please! Ceviche was a little on the smaller side. Its flavor was there but price to size wasn't worth it to me. Recommend the grilled esquites as a side. I can't NOT get the charro beans because they were addicting. I could live on them in the winter. Tacos were so ed how you'd expect with homemade corn tortillas. Delicious, but I'd say Bakersfield pulls ahead just a touch with the tacos. Camerones Saadi's was delicious! I'd get it again, but still want to try some of their other mains. I did try dessert. Mind you I'm not huge on tres leches as it is so it might not be surprising that it wasn't my favorite. It was a tad on the drier side and textured (this was coconut tres leches so probably where the texture came from). I'd skip dessert the next go round maybe, unless they had some other fun seasonal things to try. Everyone enjoyed their cocktails as well! Especially the mezcal-based ones.

We sat at the bar and was greeted right away - they changed the way you order - the last time I was here I ordered what I wanted with a pen and paper this time I listed what I wanted to the waitress - I think I like the other way better as there is less room for error. I ordered the 1/2 order of chips with garden salsa (just a fancy way to say verde salsa) it was delicious and the chips were perfectly crisp and salty. I also got a build your own taco with the ranch seasoned shell and the chicken ( I wasn't a huge fan of the chickens texture). The price is realtivley cheap and I like how this location on the weekend has specials that cater to the crowd of the banks like 2 for 20$ margarita flights. The inside was clean enough and the bathroom wasn't the worst I have seen.

Our server was friendly and attentive to our ordering needs and the drinks & food arrived promptly. Unfortunately, multiple people had issues with their food requests not being properly prepared. Thankfully, the server easily split our checks amongst all eleven of us and everyone received the proper bills. I am not a fan of Condado's food. The menu has so many different ingredients yet most of the food ends up lacking in flavor. They do make good margaritas and that's my only reason for returning!
