"Great local Mexican food. I love the salsa and chips. My favorite go to is the cheese chili rellano. Great service. Couple margaritas are always good way to enjoy the meal."
"QUITE LITERALLY THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD AROUND. Fresh, amazing flavors. Fantastic & friendly service. The pollo tacos & burrito were 10/10 delicious."

"I continued my taco truck trek and ventured to Taco House on Fields-Ertel Road. It's on the south side of the road and there's plenty of parking. Went with my hubby, and we both enjoyed our lunch :). I ordered two shrimp tacos, plus a chicken tamale. Hubby also ordered two tacos, but went with one shrimp and one carne asada (steak), and also got a tamale. They don't have chips, but I ordered a side of frijoles anyway since we were headed home and had chips at home. Total was $22. They have tables and chairs to dine at, and they have a semi-enclosed area with a condiment bar. Our tacos came with the corn tortillas topped with the protein. We used to condiment bar to add sliced radishes, chopped white onion, and cilantro. There also were lime wedges, chopped tomato, jalapeños, shredded cheese, and small containers of red and green salsa. There was also a creamy white taco sauce in a squeeze bottle that my husband used. Maybe mayo based? We both thoroughly enjoyed our tacos and tamales! The tamales' masa had just the right denseness. We both topped ours with the green chile salsa. Perfect together. Overall, a satisfying, delicious lunch."
"Happened upon this small food truck while out running errands. I decided to try the daily special which was a small chicken quesadilla and a drink for $9. While waiting for my food to be prepared, I noticed that the truck was very clean. Looked almost new. I was walking, so it was about 20 minutes before I actually ate my food. It travelled ok, but would likely be better with a shorter gap between ordering and eating. The quesadilla was a nice size. Good amount of chicken filling. I would have preferred a little more kick and maybe some fresh peppers. Maybe there was a hotter salsa option. I did not ask but will when I return. It came with a side of salsa verde and sour cream. Overall I'd say decent value. I'm full but not stuffed after eating this. If I'm in the area, I would go back."
"Consistently great food and service at an excellent price. Chips and salsa are always delivered in a timely manner, as are beverages. Food is prepared quickly and hot. All the employees are friendly and personable. This is my favorite Mexican lunch spot."
"Wish there were more stars to give as we had a GREAT experience here.We got there late one evening and didn't realize they were getting ready to close until we walked in, and we were just assuming that we would not be able to eat. We were greeted and ask how many were in our party and we ask "are we too late" and he told us "absolutely not, we will take care of you!"We ordered drinks and took a minute to look over the menu. We ordered and our food came out very quickly and was really good !The portions were HUGE and everything was excellent!Thanks guys for taking GREAT care of us, we will be back !"
"I had to check our Gomez as it was high on the food list and everyone mentions the turtles. It wasn't too busy when I arrived, so I had time to decide what kind of fillings I wanted. I did order a turtle, of course, with carnitas and once of the spicy sauces. It's a definitely a fast food vibe, where you order at the counter and seat yourself with no frills in between. I found a table while I waited. Once I got my order and dug in, man. It was delicious and very filling. I only ate half of it, so once I was ready to go I did have to go back to the counter to get a to go box."
"Caught this orange food truck out of the corner of my eye and naturally I whipped a U'y to scope it out. 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."
"Fantastic unique Mexican food that's unbelievably cheap! A fantastic sports bar. They even have a giant mural of Joe Burrow! Off the TV is including 120 inch 4 up screen."
"Tucked away behind the Mexican grocery store, the small, very authentic restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. They serve beer. Cantina atmosphere."
"For me, this place was ok. Nothing extraordinary to set it apart from the pack of Mexican restaurants. My party was turned off when we got there and they did not have chips and salsa. Most Mexican restaurants have it for free. They did not even have it for sell. The food was ok, nothing special. The food does come out fast and is reasonably priced. They do have ice cream and cakes that looked pretty good, but we did not get any of those. They also have a drink machine that has three flavors of drink behind the counter. I tried the white one and it was decent. I saw a picture of the Mangolada and I knew I had to have one. I thought it would be a wave of frozen sweet deliciousness. However, it was far from that. I was very salty. It was edible, but definitely not what I expected. Maybe next time I will check out their bakery goods."
"I was traveling from Ohio and wanted yo make a quick stop for a late lunch. I found El Bronco, conveniently located just off the exit. The interior is very nice, with a high ceiling and tasteful decor. The booths and tables are solid and spacious. Everything was spotlessly clean.I was promptly seated and served chips and salsa. The salsa was thinner than I prefer but made up for it with excellent flavor and a bit of heat.I ordered Huevos Rancheros from the lunch menu, and it was delicious. Refried beans has a nice texture and really good flavor. Portion size was very generous, especially for a lunch menu item.Service was friendly and efficient.The dinner menu featured some unique specialties. There were many seafood entrees, including one I would like to try called Wero. It featured grilled tilapia, scallops, shrimp, and pico. I'll try that for sure on my next visit.There are also burritos and enchiladas with unique ingredients. Many vegetarian options too.Prices are very reasonable."

Incredible! It's tough to find a Mexican restaurant using a nice cut of steak for this dish. Rice and beans were spot on. Great corn tortillas too!It's bookmarked!

Been back here several times. The first time I had their stuff it was at an event but they're typically stationed in the Shell gas station lot. They are a reliable spot to get some tasty, authentic tacos. They have a nice variety of options and you can pick and choose to make a nice combination of tacos for $3-$4 per taco. The men in the truck are kind and helpful. I appreciate the picnic tables that you can eat at or hang out at while waiting for the food to cook.

Wow I was very impressed by this food truck. Food was great and fast. Honestly this might be my favorite tacos in Cincinnati. The tacos are reasonably priced and the hot sauce is straight FIRE!

We discovered Jalapeños thirty years ago and at that time it was hands down the best Mexican restaurant in Lexington. Absolutely authentic, amazing food and consistent quality. We moved to the northern part of the state 25 years ago, but were able to enjoy a location there for several years until it closed. We missed it and could never find a suitable replacement. Now, decades later, we're still visiting the remaining location and enjoying the same great food, friendly atmosphere and service, and the same amazing authentic recipes as at the beginning. Jalapeños is a Lexington institution. All the others are just wannabes.

Small little establishment serving Tex Mex style fare including tacos, burritos, and a familiar Taco Bell-esque favorite. What is Gomez's claim to fame, The turtle is everything you wanted in a Crunchwrap supreme dialed up to 11. You can customize it with various meats and heat styles. I went with the Diablo carnitas turtle, and boy was it delicious! So flavorful and so hot! Good choice for spice lords looking for a kick in the butt! We also got a side of chips and salsa verde, and it was fresh and tasty. Ambiance reminded me of an old pub or friendly bar. Service was decent and fast!

Really good tacos!! I'm a fan of the chicken tacos but the steak tacos are good too. They have a really good spicy sauce!

"Can't remember the last time I authored a "First to Review" Yelp review, but it seems warranted here. (I'm sure the Yelp Powers That Be will correct me if I'm wrong.)Stumbling onto this fine taqueria was happenstance for us: We drove from Mt. Lookout one Sunday to get pupusas at the Salvadoran place about a mile south of here, but the restaurant was packed, and it looked like only one harried server was on duty. No thanks. We pulled up Yelp and found the well-reviewed "Taqueria El Monarca" and proceeded north.Finding El Monarca wasn't that easy, mainly because the listed address on Princeton Pike has a sign that spells out "Don Chago" in prominent lettering and depicts a stern-looking hombre. And shockingly, once inside we discovered that the restaurant's menus say "Taqueria Don Chago," too. Further, "Taqueria Don Chago" will appear on your check.As it turns out, this taqueria has been named Taqueria Don Chago for more than a year, but the last several Yelp reviewers were apparently oblivous to this name (and ownership?) change. (Fair mistake, perhaps: A sign over the bar still says "El Monarca.")Went with tacos: al pastor, barbacoa, and lengua. (It's always a plus to see tongue on a menu around here!). The prices seemed a bit high for the location--$4.50 for the lengua--but the kitchen is very generous with the meat. Very good, although the lengua could have been a little more tender.The menu generally appears to be seriously Mexican, with things like menudo, but then it also features some Tex-Mex (fajitas) and Americanized (a Chipotle-like bowl), too. There's something for everyone here, most likely.Staff could not have been more friendly--they were in the top echelon on that score.Decor in this rather large strip-center taqueria is industrial style: concrete floors, exposed ductwork, high ceilings."
"Family owned and operated!! Consistent quality for over a decade in Urbana, many choices from steaks, chicken and curry dishes..have never left unsatisfied!! Recently have had an incredible filet and several fresh fish dishes that were amazing!"
"There is an awful lot to like about Lulu's Tacos (besides tacos). Fast and friendly service, a wide variety of dishes you won't find at many Mexican places, a reasonable cost, etc. Have been here a few times now while in town for work and have always left thinking that I can't wait to come back.Each time I've had the tacos (Pastor) with the green sauce on the side. Just enough punch to the meat and sauce to make for a slightly spicy affair. Many other items on the menu that I haven't tried but would certainly be in here much more often if I was closer. Love this place."
"Delicious lunch specials and not crowded. Staff was attentive and amazing.Started with their awesome chips and queso. Let me tell you these chips never break off like those other places. I started off with the à la cart quesadilla with just chicken and cheese with the chips and salsa. I definitely was full by the time I went back to work no time for margaritas today but let me tell you they have the best margaritas ever especially the jalapeño I highly a recommend the pitchers."
"This was a stop over traveling through on the interstate. What a great great Mexican restaurant. Wish I were local. The decor was fantastic, service was great, and the food was equally as good. The place was very clean, well located, and seem to be run very well."
"This restaurant is located in a very small strip mall and has a small parking lot to go with it, that they share with other businesses in the mall. They have a rather large dining area with televisions placed around it. You will find a little photo op here with their neon lighted wings. The place was really clean and had a hip cafeteria like vibe,They serve burritos, tortas, quesadillas, cemitas, and of course tacos. For the littles they have cheese burgers chicken fingers, hot dogs, and cheese quesadillas. I highly recommend getting one of their fruit waters. I got a Lemon with cucumber and it was so delicious. mmmmm. They also have pineapple, melon, strawberry, and horchata,I ordered a birria taco and a chorizo burrito. It took them about 6 minutes toi have my food ready it was hot it was hot and fresh. It tasted good but I had a couple of issues with it. First, it did not come with any sauces/salsa. There may have been some available but I did not see them. I may have had to purchase them, but I am not sure. Either way, they should be included. My second issue was that even though my burrito was huge, it only had a small amount of chorizo. There was so little chorizo that I thought I had gotten the wrong burrito. As I mentioned, the food was good, but could have been a bit better. This is a decent option for some authentic Mexican food and I recommend checking this place out if you get the chance."
"I have been here a few times. Three of the times just consisted of chips and salsa and beer. Finally I ate some real food. They have a ton of options and all of which seemed great. I took the waiters opinion on what to buy. It was a great choice. The service was spot on and the place was clean. It wasn't overly crowded at the times I stopped in here which made it great for me and my friends. The food came quickly and the drinks kept flowing. I have to give it to the staff on this one for being so on point. If you want quick and friendly service, stop in here. They are great."
"No lie, this is probably the best Mexican food in the eastern suburbs. We've been twice now, and everything has been delicious. Birria tacos and quesadilla, enchiladas, and the TORTA. Amazing torta! I tried the enchiladas dish with one with each sauce, and they were all good, but the green sauce is a standout. Service is excellent and even the chips, salsa, and queso are fresh and top quality. For those who remember the previous eatery in this location, I promise this is nothing like that. Different concept and different owners. Go try this place - you won't regret it!"
"I've had this place a couple times now and I really enjoy it!! The first time we got takeout and were really impressed with how good it was. The second time we went there and tried new stuff and it was just as good, if not better. The people were so kind and attentive. The restaurant is very beautiful and set up very well. This is our favorite Mexican Restaurant in Franklin!"
"Very good meal at El Toro South. I was greeted immediately upon walking in. I was waiting for my fried to arrive and I ordered the pineapple Patron margarita. It was unexpected as it was smoking when he poured it at the table, how fun! My friend arrived and she ordered an alcohol free pina colada. My marg was delicious.They brought chips and salsa out. I placed an order for chicken fajitas and my friend ordered the chimichanga. Everything was hot and fresh. They checked on us several times to ensure we did not need anything. I would recommend trying it!"
"My in-laws live in Urbana and we asked them if they'd like to have an early dinner. There is such a lack of restaurants in this small town. Literally there's this place, another Mexican restaurant down the road and 'The Farmers daughter" are pretty much all this small town has, except there are several fast food places being most of the choices. I think there might be a "sit down restaurant" downtown but parking is difficult there.So... I didn't take pictures but our food was wonderful! The service was great, and our server was pleasant, on task for any needs at the table and food was priced reasonably. 5 adults with full meals was approximately $75. We had huge portions that only my husband and his dad were able to finish. Compared to Mexican restaurants in nearby towns they are mediocre compared to what we had today. Definitely will be back!"
"Plenty of chicken, cheese, lettuce, onions, rice, and sauce were provided to us. Corn tortillas were also provided and couldn't have been tastier. I loved the food here and highly recommend if you're in the area. The employees were kind and helpful throughout our visit. You simply order at the counter. The back was pretty big so feel free to eat there or take it out with you."
"Great service, friendly staff. So many Mexican plates to choose from. This is not Tex Mex. Guacamole was fresh, food was hot. One coworker ordered fish tacos, I had Enchiladas Supremas and I consumed every bite. If you're in the more head area, give this place a try."
"Every time I come it seems to get better. I love the veggie fajitas, they were SO flavourful, there was so much, they felt really clean and healthy. I really enjoyed it. The chorizo quesadilla also just yum!!! I love the salsa and find it to be a little spicy - yum. The service is great, they take care of you, the restaurants feels like you're in a Mexican restaurant in America. I recommend."
"Highly authentic, perfectly spiced food. Large portions, good prices. The ambiance is nice, the restaurant is clean, the service is prompt and friendly. The house salsa isn't great, be sure to ask for their hot salsa of you want the real stuff. They'll bring three varieties of hot salsa to the table.The fajitas and Caldo de res are amazing.Absolutely nothing bad to say, this is one of my favorite places to eat."
"Stopped in Winchester, Kentucky for the night. Staying at Holiday Inn Express, this was across the bypass road. Greeted and seated as we entered and given water, chips and salsa right away. They have a very extensive menu. I chose the seafood nachos. Yummy, lots of shrimp, fish, fake crab and scallops. Lots of grilled onions and peppers. I asked for guacamole on top and it also came with sour cream and lots of cheese. Hubby ordered his usual steak quesadilla There was a sauce on it that he wasn't too keen on but said it was good. Place appeared clean."
"One of my favorite destinations. I'm SUPER picky on my Mexican, especially tacos and burritos. Being raised out west, if a taco doesn't come out of a truck.. it'a crap. From the standards of pork, chicken, and steak they also offer authentic Mexican fare such as tripe, leguena, etc. Also attached is a FANTASTIC little ice cream shop ."
"Super fast service and delicious food. I love all 3 of the bowls they offer. Everything yummy in one bowl. Also love the guacamole salad (see picture)."
"For me it's a meh... had better, had worse... The margaritas are potent though. But the food was simply not memorable. This location simply cannot compare to the other two locations. Service is friendly though and there is a private parking lot."
"Dropped by here late for dinner on a Saturday night. Seated immediately. The server was very polite and attentive. Chips and salsa are provided at no cost. Fast turnaround on all of our orders. Did not experience any kind of issue during our dinner. The food and margarita were delicious. Not too sure why they are 3.5 star average. Maybe new owners? Maybe a new or updated menu?"
"I have ate here twice so far: once carry out and once dine in. The food has been great both times. They are quick to serve you and everything is fresh! Their Mexican rice is the best I've ever had at any Mexican restaurant- it is very flavorful. I have tried the chimichangas and enchiladas, both which were good. Their salsa is pretty tasty too! I will return to this business. My only recommendation is they invest in some sound absorption panels for the restaurant. I am glad they are a "full house" often, but it is way too loud to enjoy a nice conversation with someone. We both had to shout to be heard."
"Love this place. We used to drive from Springboro to the Monroe location, so were very excited to see this one open up. Same food, same attentiveness. Hand made margs (not just dumped out of a bottle of mix) and made to order food (i.e. enchiladas)."
"Maria's kitchen isn't my favorite Mexican in Lexington, but it's a great location for us and fairly inexpensive compared to other options. For basic tacos it's a solid pick!"
