    The carne asada is out of this world - the best dish in all of Cincinnati. Don’t skip the guacamole either.

    We had Daniel as a server for dinner last night! He was incredible. He was attentive & always making sure we were okay! The food was equally amazing. We can’t wait to go back!

    Very small menu. The restaurants smelt burnt walking in and we left with our clothes smelling like burnt food. Food was very fancy Mexican and over priced. I think I’ll just stick with my local Cancun or mi Cozumel

    Great, flavorful dishes and delicious cocktails. Loved the hamachi Gaia hike and lamb barbacoa, even the rice and beans are delicious. Only downside is the size of the space, unfortunately the poor ventilation left me and my guest smelling like fryer oil.

    We enjoyed a fantastic meal at Crown Cantina before attending a show at the Aronoff. The service from Cam was terrific - perfectly paced! And our food and drinks were delicious. Can't wait to come back!

    I wish we lived in Cincy! Totally gluten free kitchen! I have celiac disease and what a fun experience to order anything on the menu and share it with my husband!
