Carne tacos, Michelada
Shantell P.

5/5 Stars. This place is the authentic Mexican that mainstrausse needed. Everything we had was so fresh, authentic, and well-priced. I got the tacos, while my boyfriend enjoyed the Torta (which is a Mexican sandwich). When I tell you we have not stopped thinking/talking about the torta since he had it months ago. It was life changing. I ordered the Michelada which I love to see- had all the necessities down to a chamoy straw. Go here if you want some true authentic Mexican.

Merrano.... Basically pure protein!

I am bummed out that it took me longer to get here. it looks a bit nondescript from the street but the experience blew me away. you come in and sit down and someone will come and take your order. I had the Merrano which is one giant plate of protein. It came with cheese, chicken, steak, Peppers and onions. it was so delicious! It also came with tortillas as well as beans and rice. I would definitely get this next time. I bulk at the gym, so this was definitely necessary. I feel like this place offers many opportunities to get lots of protein. My friends had some tacos as well as other Other types of protein and they were very pleased. spices were great and just overall the food was cooked very well. Friendly service and definitely good to the local community. you know what's good when you are eating with people around you very much enjoying their food. can't wait to try it again!

Chorizo Huarache

Frequent visitor to the area staying at the Marriot Rivercenter. Decided to dodge the fusion joints on the street for something authentic. I travel the world and have decided (IMO) the best food is always in the least flashy places, ie back alleys, market stalls and street vendors. Never satisfied with the food at the trendy joints with $30 margaritas. This is an incredibly good and authentic little taqueria. It's easy to miss if you aren't looking for it, specifically. Wasn't quite certain how to navigate after entering the door...I just made my way up to the counter grabbed a soda from the cooler and ordered with the kind woman at the register. The true test (in my opinion) of a good taqueria is how many options are available (let's say, for a taco) and then how well they execute on those lesser ordered options. Ordered the tacos tripas and they were perfect. Nice and crispy on the outside, but not overdone, seasoned to perfection. Everything's fresh, good salsa, good service and cheap prices. Also it's clean and they took pride in their food. What more could anyone ask of a taqueria? Will be back the next time I'm in the neighborhood.

The Marrano...so much going on here and all in a very good way!!!

Best Mexican food I've ever tasted! It's a taste explosion and very authentic. You could walk by this place without even knowing it's here but you will be glad you found this place! Wow!

I am staying in downtown Covington for a week and looking to try new things. I found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I wanted tacos but the Huarache and a taco. I ordered a chore taco and chicken huarache. Both were very good and I would go back to try something else next time.

Al Pastor Tacos

Great spot for authentic food! It's been fairly busy the last couple of times we visited and tables are limited but don't let that stop you from checking it out. We'll be back!

Three chicken tacos for carryout, comes with the salsa. Delicious and filling!

Good whole in the wall spot in Covington for authentic Mexican and fast service. I recommend them as a lunch spot during the work week.

YES YES SO MUCH YES This tiny bodega-esque looking storefront is off-putting but don't let that scare you away! Taqueria San Miguel is a full service restaurant. They accept credit cards and have pretty much every kind Mexican beer your little heart could desire. And surprise! Local beer options too? Win. The place is very tacky but I kind of like it. It's different and it's fun. The music is blaring out of a giant black speaker and the whole experience reminded me of when we were in Mexico. The staff hardly spoke any english and we literally pointed to the menu to order what we wanted. We opted for the chorizo, the steak, and the al pastor tacos. The tortillas were house made, thicker than normal but still fresh and delish. Here's how you know tacos are delicious - all you need is the meat and cilantro and onion. I am a purist when it comes to tacos and I sincerely believe this should be the only thing on a taco. The steak was my favorite and the chorizo was super flavorful and crispy (as it should be). The al pastor was also marinated very well, I just happen to prefer the other two. But all three were very, very good. Here's why this place is awesome -- they are one of the only places I know of to serve traditional Paletas! What's a paleta? Essentially a popsicle made from fresh fruit. Not like a sticky, syrupy popsicle but like fresh frozen juice, fruit, seeds and all! We got the guava one and it was so refreshing on a 90+ day. They also had a pineapple chili one that I am currently having FOMO over. I need to go back and get it. Best part of the trip, on our way here we walked past the owner of another restaurant on the sidewalk and he gave us a menu. We told him we were heading here to check it out but we would be back. He said, "Well, that place is good if you like $2 tacos." I wish I had a picture of our faces after he said that, because WHO DOESN'T LIKE TWO DOLLAR TACOS?! This is a bucket list-er folks. Come by, check it out, get the tacos and a paleta and make your belly happy.

I lived out west for a while and moving here has been SO HARD because of the lack of good Mexican food. THIS PLACE IS CHANGING THAT FOR ME. It's hands down the best tacos I've had in the cinci metro area and I'm planning on recommending it to everyone Be sure to try the tacos al pastor
