She answered all our questions and kept checking on us. We started off with the queso and I have to say it is now my favorite queso I've had in the Tristate area It's not your typical queso that comes out runny. Frida's queso comes out in a mini skillet and is thick reminding me of when we lived in El Paso and had authentic Mexican food. The chips were amaziiiing too I got a shrimp taco and fish taco as my main and loved the combo of Chimichurri and pineapple salsa on the shrimp one. The fish taco was loaded with aioli which was a bit much so I couldn't really taste the fish or other toppings. I will definitely be back to try more tacos and eat my weight in queso!

Thanks to Yelp for pointing me to this place I never would have found otherwise! This isn't a…read morestandard restaurant. It's a cute, well-stocked grocery store, and you place your order at the check-in counter just inside the door. Just a few options - which makes it easy! The staff were very nice, the prices were very reasonable, and my tacos were delicious! Authentic, so flavorful, and packed with toppings (no tiny sprinkle of cheese on top like you get at many places). And I didn't end up with heartburn - which is my general barometer of how "real" food is. I will be back. And will order the quesadillas next time!

Delicious tacos - the chicken was melt-in-your-mouth tender and seasoned perfectly, with just the…read moreright proportion of chicken/onion/cilantro. I was a little skeptical when I saw the cabbage, but it was a great addition - it added just al the right crunch. The beef torta and chicken tamale were also very good. There are only a couple of picnic tables out front, and we were the only people who stayed to eat -- most orders here are to-go. But the weather was lovely and the picnic tables were full of flowers, and it was very pleasant.

A Hidden Gem!! The…read morepollo tacos are seasoned PERFECTLY!! The onions and cilantro are always fresh, and sauce options vibrant. I love that they are packaged in foil instead of styrofoam. I always complement my tacos with sides of beans and rice and they never fail.. at least the food doesn't. I wish they'd figure a way to properly package the beans so half of them don't end up in the bag. Either way, I HIGHLY recommend this place, but they only accept CASH so be prepared, and if you order the beans to go, put something under them for transport.

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.

I ordered this chicken burrito that's supposed to be their big item to go. When I cut into the…read moreburrito, the entire thing exploded they did not seal it properly. There was absolutely no queso inside the burrito. There was cheese that wasn't even melted. I don't know how that's possible when you make a burrito unless it's stuff that's been sitting around forever, which would be my guess I've ordered in Columbus and in Cleveland from this restaurant never been impressed. I hope Barrio comes to Cincinnati in the banks someday. The shredded chicken tasted great! But I didn't ask for a half pound of shredded chicken with some tomatoes and lettuce. You guys gotta figure this kitchen stuff out.

What a great choice that ended up being! I love this kind of food and the menu was creative without being overwhelming. My brother and I each got three items from the Vegetarian pick-three menu and my nephew ordered from the kids' menu. Everyone was happy with their food, and the draft beers tasted excellent as well. Our server, Maya, was really helpful with the menus and checked in on us often. Her friendliness and fun conversation added to an already great time. Our stop into Covington Friday evening was a highlight of my trip to Kentucky. And I like that Agave allows dogs; there was a really cute beagle-and-husky at the table next ours.

We loved the slow cooked corn and classic Cuban so much that I told him we are going to pay him a visit very soon. Here we are 4 days later. They are located at the Covington Yard. There are two other food vendors on the property. We ordered: -Classic Cuban (8") -3 Tacos Caribbean style w/ chicken -Large order of tots We got our meals less than 15 minutes. Wow! The Cuban sandwich is everything I've expected it to be! Super delish! You don't need hot sauce in my opinion, it's packed with great flavor. Btw, they have mass hot sauces to choose from. We tried 3 different kinds for our tots. My Mr really enjoyed his tacos. The seasoned tots were so good! Not greasy and tasted great with their signature sauce (tasted like a yum yum sauce). All hit the spot!!!! What a great experience and I can't wait to come back again and try other items on the menu, but my fave is hands down their Cuban sandwich!
