    Street tacos

    By far one of the cleanest places I have been. It's right by work so we (about ten of us) order lunch once a week and they are always friendly and fast even though it is always packed. Barbacoa is the best.

    Tripa is on top, two on bottom are Lengua!

    The food was amazing, I got a Tripa and two Lengua tacos. They were all great but the Lengua was super flavorful and was the easy winner! Service was great as well, very friendly staff! The restaurant was very clean inside too.

    As someone from San Diego, where carne asada tacos are practically a way of life, I have pretty high standards. I wasn't sure what to expect when I stopped by Martinez Tacos here in KY, but they absolutely did not disappoint! The carne asada was tender and cooked to perfection--juicy, flavorful, and just the right amount of seasoning. Even the corn tortillas were on point, which is a detail that can make or break a taco experience for me. If you're in the area and craving authentic tacos, I highly recommend stopping by Martinez Tacos. You won't regret it!

    Wow! While waiting on a flight to arrive, I decided to check out the small taco spot nearby. Located next to the only gas station off of the airport exit, I figured I'd try it out while I waited. Soo glad I did! The menu has a selection of things I'm familiar with and some that I wasn't. So I went for the unfamiliar. Beef tongue empanadas! Totally different from the Caribbean style empanadas I was accustomed too. Deep fried deliciousness. The service was great and the ambiance was to be expected, located next to a gas station. Definitely will pay them a visit every time I need to venture in that direction!

    I had an interesting interaction at this restaurant today. I was referred to go there by one of my employees at the airport. I have been there a few times and the food was pretty good. Today I must share my interaction. I came there after work at the airport and ordered a Torta with beef. I was shocked to see how big the bread was for the sandwich and how much steak was going on my sandwich. I was talking to my girlfriend at the time and she wanted to see what I was talking about. As they were making the sandwich I took pictures of them preparing it. The owners were sitting down at a table eating and an older lady walked up to me at the counter and asked me why I was taking pictures. I responded my girlfriend wanted to se the sandwich. The older lady then asked me "Are you sure or do you like young girls???!!!!". I was so shocked she had the audacity to ask me such a question. I showed her the pictures and showed her I was on the phone with my girlfriend and the pictures were sent there. Her family table of women then apologized for the ladies comments but of course the older lady didn't feel like she deserved to give me an apology. I will NEVER step foot in the restaurant again and will tell all of my acquaintances at CVG airport my story. I'm not sure if this was a racist act but they will not recieve another cent from me. I can eat good food anywhere but I will not be made to feel insulted and pay you on top of it. I can just say customer service is something that is missing here. I refuse to eat anywhere that will have owners ask such a pathetic question. She didn't know if I was posting here at YELP to advise others to eat there. Well I am posting for just the opposite. I asked the lady for an apology and she shunned me. Airport Employee that demands better service.

    Solid tasty food. Friendly service. Clean restaurant and bathrooms, broken dryer and no paper towel holder but women's at least had a roll. Seats about 24. Definitely will be back when we are in the area.

    The best! Family is super nice and the food is excellent. Always hit, fresh and tasty. A little pricey but worth it.

    The Barbacoa taco was one of the best tacos I've ever had and Ive lived in San Diego and recently had a layover in Mexico City to give you context of my palate.

    Caught this orange food truck out of the corner of my eye and naturally I whipped a U'y to scope it…read moreout. Aha, taco truck! Score! What I stumbled upon was a one man show taco truck. A lot of menu items were sold out by the time I got there so I kinda had to settle for 2nd choice items. I ended up with a pastor taco and a couple Campechano's. For taking orders and cooking at the same time I was impressed, he didn't leave people standing around but kept food coming out. At first glance, the tacos took me back to my childhood when my mom would take me to Mexico and we would stop at the first taco cart we saw. Yes, cart not truck. Small simple tacos with just cilantro and onion. These were the gone in two or three bite tacos I remember that were so addicting that they're ordered one at a time as if it were a sampling menu. I could imagine this place on a dirt road in Tijuana bustling with groups of people shouting "Otro más!" While small, I do think the price is fair considering what you'd pay anywhere else and these were not skimpy. The pastor tacos were good, not dry as I find at most places. The campechano tacos had chorizo and steak. The steak was noticeably marinated and wasn't just chopped up bits of steak like you find at every Mexican restaurant you find around here. I still can't tell if the tortillas were hand made or bought. Either way, they were really good. They weren't bland and had a fresh masa taste to them. They also held up well and didn't fall apart after the first bite. The tomatillo sauce was great. Not overly salty and added freshness. IMO, tomatillo should complement not steal or ruin the show and this did just that. I may or may not be spoiled from my childhood in LA and ventures to Mexico so I can be a tough critic on tacos, but I also have a soft spot for nostalgia. I think anywhere else I might give this a three, but for this region, four stars easily. The tortillas were so good. The meat wasn't just a filler protein. Shockingly the tomatillo sauce wasn't over salted like most places. Overall, everything I had was good and stood out ingredient wise. I don't think it would crack any of top spots but this is so much better than what I am used to around here. Come hungry, come early, and don't go far. This is taco's but taco cart style, a la carte.

    They have super nice workers and the food is delicious! I would highly recommend this place. The…read moreparking lot is large and it's never too busy. The menu outside the track has both English and Spanish to help customers. ¡Muy bien!

I came only after seeing a coworker scarf down 3 tacos from Maranata last week. Came here with my wife and we had the best lunch.

I recommend this hidden cubby if your in the mood for true Mexican food.

Yet, one day when I drove by I knew I had to get some serious Mexican food - and when I walked in I knew this was the spot. There is the most incredible smell before you even hit the door, and when you get through the entryway you find a grocery store loaded up with everything you could want to cook and include in a meal from south of the border. But what if you just want to eat? What if you don't need some eclectic candies and spices? Or, even better - what if you want some meat to cook yourself? You go on to the left and walk up to the deli counter! Ordering two dinners (one for me and one for my girlfriend), I got grilled chicken and steak, each dish had options for rice and beans, so I just decided to do a full sample of basically everything so we could each try what they offer. So by the end we had white rice with various veggies (which seemed to come from just a random bag of frozen vegetables, there were lima beans, broccoli, cauliflower, corn) and spanish rice, Black and pinto beans, two giant chunks of each type of meat, two halves of a potato, and 6 corn tortillas each dinner.... As you can tell these were GIANT take out containers. I think they would have broken in half if I didn't support them on the bottom, these things were LOADED. I'll be honest... I combined all the sides together, mixed them up, and we ended up getting two meals a piece out of all this food. I wish I had thought to snap a picture of all of it before we started digging in, but I managed to set aside the meat, take a look at that if you want to get hungry. So then how was it? Absolutely delicious! The chicken and potatoes had so much seasoning on them that I honestly thought the potatoes were sweet potatoes because they were so orange. Fortunately the seasoning was INCREDIBLE, there was spice, there was flavor, and it was all harmonious. The meat was cooked about perfectly (I think the steak was a little fatty so it could have been cooked longer to try and drip some of that off), and the tortillas tasted like they might have actually been home-made, not the uniform shapes and thickness of a factory press. I LOVE Mexican food, I could eat it every single day. But it's hard for me to be truly impressed, I mean even bad Mexican is still pretty good, like have you ever had an awful taco? I don't think they exist. This place though, this place reminds you that Mexican food can go beyond "not bad." Don't believe me? Swing by with a $20 and get 4 meals, a ton of starches, and a new addiction.

I saw a few reviews that referenced how good the food was at Boone Kitchen (at Marriott). I was of course quite skeptical, but I hand them five stars for having such an amazing selection like a fusion bowl, boom-boom shrimp, garlic shrimp endive lettuce wrap, an Ahi poké appetizer and they also have favorites like wings (that looked absolutely delicious) and then if you have kids: pizza everybody loves pizza, right? Equally impressive was the martini I had when somebody serves it to me in a glass that looks like it came out of my grandma's cabinet circa 1932. I'm impressed. Sea Bass was my order and they nailed it. Again, you have to remember you are in a lobby of a hotel so I give the Seabass five stars. Probably more impressive than the food was the service! I walked in and the bar was completely empty. I went to my room, took a shower and came back. The bar was packed and there's one bartender she was serving the entire bar and four tables with drink drinks AND food. Shout out to JENNIFER!! She's the amazing ringleader of a circus! Alone.
