AVOID AT ALL COSTS – Honestly, this has got to be a prison cafeteria disguised as a Southwestern cuisine restaurant. At first, I thought the meal might be good in part to the roasted tomato salsa and the pleasing decor, but it went all downhill from there! Even the salsa, the best part of the meal, was mediocre compared to other restaurants'; such as Don Pablo's in Norwood and Newport, El Pueblo in Blue Ash or Chili's in Montgomery; they even served it with what seemed as store-bought tortilla chips instead of the fresh, hom... read more
One of my favorite restaurants in Cincinnati – The salsa is better than any other Mexican restaurant anywhere. I've never ordered anything disappointing. The owner is very pleasant and remembers us. The food is always delicious and pretty. Service is great. It always seems very reasonably priced to me, but I'm not a student anymore. The restaurant is not brightly lit as it also has a bar. I personally really enjoy that for a relaxed meal.
Great latin fair – What a great place to visit. I went with a group of people and the waitress, although shorthanded, did great... I have to mention that they must have their Margaritas on a great work out plan because boy were they STRONG, if you order one keep it to a small cause they will knock your socks off!!!
Best Margaritas in town – I took my gf here over the weekend and got a pitcher of frozen margaritas for the 2 of us. After 2, i could deff tell i was getting a buzz. Although you have to pay for your chips and salsa, the salsa is made fresh daily and is only 1.95. Not a bad price for an appitizer. I highly recommend the wraps. They are huge and a great price for as much as you get. Hope this helps. I have only eat at the clifton spot but have heard the other one is good as well.
Too expensive for what you get – I took my two adult children out for a nice meal. Can't believe that we had to pay for chips and salsa. Also, we had marquiritas and there was NO ALCOHOL in them; well, practically none. I could've had a glass of water and gotten more of a buzz. Six dollars for a drink that has no discernable alcohol in it is beyond ridiculous. My bill was $82 w/o the tip. Unbelievable. All we had were enchiladas. Nothing extraordinary although they were good. Definitely not an $82 meal. I may go back but I w... read more
Mediocre – The food was good, though not spectacular. Most items were overpriced. The margaritas and black bean salsa were great, though.
Best black bean salsa – The black bean salsa can't be beat. Great food -- everything I've tried was spectacular. My favorite is the chicken wrap.
Creative Mexican cuisine in a cozy setting, complete with multiple vegetarian alternatives – In Short The original paintings by local artists combined with customary music enhance the southwestern theme inside this restaurant. Large tables and booths fill the room, setting up an intimate atmosphere for dates, mid-sized parties or families. The menu includes traditional Mexican, as well as spicy pastas and seafood dishes and creative twists like the signature Cactus Pear fajitas, available with tofu, eggplant, portabella or p... read more
One of my favorite places in Clifton, period – The owner is a gentleman, the main bartender is a great guy and the waitstaff is extremely professional and competent. I suggest this establishment for everyone, even those who don't like Margaritas or Mexican quisine. Good selection of drinks, great food, just great all-round.
