It's funny how I started noticing this place after moving to the area and kind of wondering what it…read morewas. It's kind of a strip mall but it looks a bit upscale but it's also looking a bit casual. Anyway after we finally went in there, we knew it all! So far this place rocks. It's basically like an indoor food cart pod. Granted there's only one pod but they have such an array of different food. I'm talking tacos to pad Thai to burgers to Pasta to pretty much anything else in between. The bar is in the center and it looks like a pretty full bar for the most part. You order your food and they give you a number and you go sit down and wait to be served! The best part about this place besides the great tasting food is you really get a lot for your money. Enough to take leftovers home for about as much as you would pay for a smaller portion of some other kind of place. Just becoming one of our favorites to go to whenever we just need a good dinner that's going to give us good food but also not take too much effort. We have returned many times!

You can pick metal chairs or picnic table seating. Birria tacos were greasy and I had to remove a decent amount of fat but overall the taste was good. They were also a little harder than I have had in the past. The carne asada quesadilla was packed full and tasted good but also very greasy. The guacamole was a great portion and tasted fresh. Much more than I usually see being served at other restaurants. Bonus points there. The tortilla chips were lightly seasoned and tasted fine. Nothing special. The taquito rolls were very thick and not what I'm used to. We didn't really like them. Strawberry smoothie was very sweet but my bf liked it. The churros were only covered in sugar and tasted more like funnel cake, and they don't come with caramel or anything. We are not in a rush to come back. We were excited about trying this place because the menu was interesting, but overall it was underwhelming.

We were greeted warmly and led to a cozy table in the back. Our waitress was super friendly and bubbly, but also patient as we took a while to determine what we want. This is a place you unfortunately have to pay for your chips and salsa, but it is worth. The chips come fresh and the salsa is so good! We also tried the Rincon dip, which was warm, cheesy, gooey, and had great flavor. They have a really good queso. My friend got one of their burritos and I got the fajita quesadilla with chicken. With your entree you get to pick your sides, so we both got mexican salad and I got refried beans, while she got black beans. Everything was awesome! I should've expected to love that quesadilla as much as I did after enjoyed the queso in the Rincon dip, but I will still blown away. The chicken was well seasoned, the cheese was great and there was a good amount, and the veggies were fresh and really added to the quesadilla. My friend loved the burrito and couldn't finish it because it was so much food. We also both got margaritas, which are a little pricey, but we enjoyed them a lot! I have found my new favorite mexican place in the area. The service was great, the prices are comparable to other places around, and the food is much better! You also get a discount at the register if you pay with cash (so plan in advance). I highly recommend coming here!

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!
