They were packed with meat and cheese and had a lot of flavor. The consome was delicious too and perfect for dipping. I also got a peach mango margarita mocktail since I couldn't drink that day. It was basically a peach mango juice but really refreshing and tasty. I like that they offer different flavors that you can mix however you want. We were seated at the bar right away and the server was super friendly and helpful. The vibes were great and everyone seemed happy. Parking is street only

I added guac on. The total with a bottled water was $20 (kinda steep for me). When I got my food, it didn't look the most appetizing....I had only taken two bites and noticed a fly was mixed in my taco. I asked for a refund, which was accepted with no hesitation. The staff was nice but when I got closer up the look of the kitchen was concerning. There was grime on most of the surfaces...stainless steel should shine when it's clean but everything just looked sticky. Needless to say, the whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. No pun intended.

It was so substantial that I only made it through half. I enjoyed it with chorizo, but for a modest surcharge, they will make it with brisket! The Al Pastor Hash was the standout. It was beautifully balanced, full of bold, authentic flavors, and expertly prepared. One of my brunch-mates spends much of the year traveling through Latin America, and he was genuinely impressed. Excellent food, generous portions, and a memorable brunch experience. We'll definitely be back and look forward to trying more of the menu! Attentive service and a beautiful location in Downtown Cincinnati's quiet Pendleton neighborhood made the morning perfect.

Surprised I've not heard of this place before my brother suggested we try it (some Bengals player…read morerecommended it on a podcast I guess). This is a solid place! I didn't think I'd find something that could compete with Bakersfield but this does. It has unique flare without being over the top like some places can. Like pairing pickled veggies with my shrimp? Yes please! Ceviche was a little on the smaller side. Its flavor was there but price to size wasn't worth it to me. Recommend the grilled esquites as a side. I can't NOT get the charro beans because they were addicting. I could live on them in the winter. Tacos were so ed how you'd expect with homemade corn tortillas. Delicious, but I'd say Bakersfield pulls ahead just a touch with the tacos. Camerones Saadi's was delicious! I'd get it again, but still want to try some of their other mains. I did try dessert. Mind you I'm not huge on tres leches as it is so it might not be surprising that it wasn't my favorite. It was a tad on the drier side and textured (this was coconut tres leches so probably where the texture came from). I'd skip dessert the next go round maybe, unless they had some other fun seasonal things to try. Everyone enjoyed their cocktails as well! Especially the mezcal-based ones.

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 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.

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.

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!

Still love the short rib taco, but there are some amazing new items on the menu since the last time I was there.

They also now serve a basic crunchy taco, but unfortunately, they only come in orders of 4 so couldn't try those and the empanadas. I guess I'll have to come back. Oh noooo!
