Taqueria Cruz

A Hidden Gem!! The pollo tacos are seasoned PERFECTLY!! The onions and cilantro are always fresh, and sauce options vibrant. I love that they are packaged in foil instead of styrofoam. I always complement my tacos with sides of beans and rice and they never fail.. at least the food doesn't. I wish they'd figure a way to properly package the beans so half of them don't end up in the bag. Either way, I HIGHLY recommend this place, but they only accept CASH so be prepared, and if you order the beans to go, put something under them for transport.

Good food. Nothing to write home about. But definitely authentic. Service was good and people were nice too.

DO YOU WANT HOME -MADE AUTHENTIC FOOD?If you do, go here! This is not TEXMEX. This is the real deal! The food was awesome and brought out with little wait. Great family-owned business. What to get? Tacos , Tortas and even the Micheladas! We were here for an NFL game and decided to get some food here. Don't hesitate, this place is fire !

This place is my favorite place for tacos. It is not fancy, but I think it is the best place to buy tacos in the Cincinnati area. It is the most authentic tacos you can get. The lunch menu is extremely affordable. $3.99 for 2 tacos. There is not many place you can get 4 tacos for $8, especially with this quality. This place is cash only and parking is easy. My coworkers and I come here for lunch regularly and we always have great experience. I usually get al pastor tacos, and the flavor is just sooooo rich. In fact, their al pastor is actually much better than a lot of al pastor I tried in Mexico. Definitely a place worth to go. It is not a restaurant you may want to go on the first date, but it is a restaurant to test if a person can appreciate the real delicious food.

I've driven by this place 1000x and never thought much of it. I'm glad we finally went today, it's a pretty unassuming location but the food is excellent. I had 3 tacos: chicken, carne and pastor- all were great but the pastor was 10/10. $7 for 3, with sides of green and hot salsa. It felt and tasted like Mexico City. They also have a small grocery store that probably carries more items than what they had out today, but could be an easy place to grab Mexican sodas, beers and other odds and ends. They have a lunch special - 2 tacos w rice and beans for $3.95; will go back to try that next.

As you soon as you walk into this place you feel like you've entered a mom & pop place south of the border. Very informal, you sit yourself, can get your own soft drinks and beers out of the refrigerator and place your order with the server. While the interior is plain, the food is excellent. Tortillas for quesadillas are handmade! The bistec, al pastor, chorizo, and tripa were delicious. The al pastor had a really good adobada taste. Salsas were pretty good as well. Make sure you take cash as they don't accept credit cards yet. Check it out!

It's been on my list forever, and I finally had a chance to stop by on a weeknight for dinner. It's a bit out of the way with nothing else around it and it's located in a strip mall next to an Ameristop. The atmosphere leaves little to be desired. It's part grocer, take-out, bodega, restaurant with four tables lined up next to drink coolers. We went with what everyone was raving about - the tacos and I was really disappointed. The meat was mealy and dry which was the first problem. It tasted like this meat was fished out of a crock pot that had been drying it out for hours. Aside from being dry, they were also extremely bland. There was little to no seasoning, not even salt. Usually out of 3 tacos, you can find one that really stands out - but across the board these were just bland on top of bland. The tortillas were nice enough, and the service was friendly. The only bright side is that it is cheap. P.S. This spot is cash only. Would not reccomend.

5/5 on: flavor, authenticity, portion size, price! CASH ONLY! Dine in, and carry out. Located snuggly between a laundromat and an Ameristop is that "little Mexican place" you've been looking for! Don't think margaritas and queso with frills (because they don't have queso OR guacamole..or frills)Think side of the road in Mexico with traditional drink options, sodas, and a small selection of beers consisting mostly of light lagers, pilsners, and amber lagers, your Mexican go-to beers: Corona, Tecate, Modelo.. you get my point.You order at the counter, menus are located there too.. and then pick a drink from which ever cooler... I suggest Tecate with a lime. Food: I had a chicken quesadilla which comes on a corn tortilla with shredded chicken and cheese on the inside, topped with sour cream lettuce tomato and cheese, with a side of avacado. Tip: there's red and green sauce on the table, go green! The best quesadilla in the area, HANDS DOWN! Also, I ventured into the unknown and had a Goat meat taco served on a corn tortilla with onion and cilantro: the meat was gamey and not my favorite.. but I can see why it made it to the menu.If you're simply looking for great food and a cold beer, this is the place! Total dive, but worth the venture!

Great meal and service!!!Authentic Mexican eatery The meal came quite quickly and we enjoyed it

This is a truly hidden gem I would have never imagined unless I was lost and needed food and googled it located right next-door to a laundromat and an amazing crew of tire service man next-door I could potentially say that I will definitely be back for the food their tacos are the best authentic Mexican style tacos I have ever had! (And I've traveled everywhere)
