I came here with my family, from the service to the food, everything was amazing. When I walked in, I was immediately greeted with kind hospitality and seated promptly. We got the quesabirra tacos, Chicken Fajitas and Burro Grande. I would highly recommend this place to anybody!

Literally amazing. Is it authentic Mexican? No, but for American Mexican it is SOOOO good! Salsa and chips? Yummy. Las Papas Locas? DELICIOUS. Quesabirria tacos? SCRUMPTIOUS. Atmosphere? On point. The vibes are there and the staff is so kind. Price? On the higher end but I'm not complaining for the quality of food we received. The flavors are bursting. I normally don't leave short reviews like this but there are too many good things filling my brain and they simply can't all be written out. Try this restaurant!

I was hopeful after hearing good reviews from friends and being greeted by an exceptional host. That was where the positive experience ended. Half of our order never came, and when I asked the waitress for the rest of it, all I got were tortillas. On top of that, the food that we did get was mediocre at best, was ridiculously expensive, and had very small portions.

Our asked our grandson (he's 8) where he wanted to eat dinner, he immediately responded El Vaquero. We sat outside, the server came to our table and out grandson said "chips and salsa, plus Trio Dip please". The Trio was a great way to start plus our entrees we're excellent. Since we were there on Sunday, he got free ice cream and we shared churros. (Don't miss the churros, they are delicious!) We've already planned to come again with his parents on Tuesday evening. We're used to TexMex, now also love CincyMex.
