Kelci W. "I'm really confused by the people who gave this low stars! The service has always been incredible and the food is to die for. I literally went here two days in a row with my husband. My picture is of the tomato soup because that's my all time favorite part. This soup is out of this world!! The flavors are just *chefs kiss* and it goes great with the honey pecan chicken salad. The chicken salad is just the right amount in the half // half combination meal. I'd definitely recommend this place. I'm a big fan of the homemade food, the delicious deserts (creme brûlée cheesecake is a must), and the service!!"

Danny N. "I visited Pepe's as I was visiting family out of town and the taco truck near their house was not open. I ordered a carne asada torta. The torta was really good. The quality of the cheese was solid. I also ordered tacos and a tamale for the wife which she enjoyed. A solid lunch choice."

Brittany S. "This place is happening on a Saturday morning! At first I was a little overwhelmed by how crowded and tight it is in here but then I just soaked in how excited folks were to make their purchases. They were busy selling everything from tahini and baklava to imported olive oil and cheeses. I ended up going home with some fresh baba ganoush and pita. I fought the urge to pick up some date syrup and a few other items I had my eye on. Despite the space being small, they pack in a lot of inventory and keep it organized. Overall, a fabulous visit paired with your Findlay Market vendors across the walkway."

We met the owner Michelle on a horse ranch vacation. It was a planned destination at that point. The good was fresh & fabulous! It was colorful & delicious! Everything from the salads, the CHEESE spread, soups & desserts!Would we go back???? YES!!!If we lived nearby, it'd be a good habit & a frequent destination.

A little taken back walking I the door. Looks more like a dessert spot than anything else. There are big bold graphics, reminds me of walking into a gyro joint in Greece. Order at the counter and wait. The staff has a since of urgency and pushing though all of the orders. Its truly refreshing to watch. Ordered empanadas (chicken and pork), steak burrito (not on menu), papas a la Francesca (French fries) and Taquitos dorado (Mexican mashed potatoes). Overall good food for the price. Definitely worth the stop. Looking forward to trying a couple of other items and the de

Not in the market hall at Findlay but part of the same stretch, this is a Mediterranean grocer that stuffs a fair amount of food into a small space. It's the sort of place where most things seem to be niche local brands or fancy imports, meaning there's very little redundancy with your big box grocer. They are limited on baked goods, but will happily recommend you to a suburban Greek bakery (which I took down and may review some other time). Here, I got some nice dips and pitas, and found plenty worth considering.

Artisano Foods, what an authentic flavor. It reminds me of my childhood in Venezuela where I grew with so many kinds of fresh cheeses, all delicious. When you walk into the store, Eduardo, the owner and artisan, is quick to make you feel at home and help you choose sampling the many types of cheeses he makes right there in the store. All of his cheeses are freshly made; and when I say fresh, I mean fresh. Just made a few days ago. You can even watch how the cheese is made. Not only fresh cheese, you can also get Harina PAN (corn flour) so you can make delicious fresh cheese-stuffed arepas. It's truly a Latin American flavor made in Cincinnati. I would strongly recommend you visit the store and get a sample of products, and if you're preparing a party or any type of gathering, Eduardo sets you up with a wonderful variety of products to delight your guests.

Michelle D. "Cheese is my favorite food - so when I saw this little shop, located texted door to the brewery in Lockland, I had to check it out. The young man who was in the shop was very knowledgable about the cheeses and enthusiastic when describing the flavors of what they had available. They make most of the cheeses in the shop and he let us peak through the window where it's made to get a look at the equipment. I chose the Brie, Goat and Mozzarella cheeses. All of them are fantastic! They don't have regular hours, we just happened to see them open. But we were told to call to check when they are in the shop. They are also at Montgomery Farmer's Market on Saturdays."
