Soco’s Mexican Restaurant and Bar

Soco's was a dandy local Mexican restaurant located in Fort Mitchell Kentucky. It was a rather small joint but had a rather vast menu of all sorts of Mexican favourites. We started with an appetizer of one of our Mexican staples; that being the Chori-Queso (they named it the "Queso Con Chorizo.") It was a great balance of the cheese and chorizo and made for a dandy dip. For my main course I tried the Chapala Plato which was 2 Chimichitos A Chimichito is a deep fried totortilla filled with choice of protein (I chose chicken), topped with cheddar cheese, and lettuce which I had left off. They were quite tasty as the chicken had tons of great flavour and the cheese was nice as always. The plate also came with refried beans and Mexican rice with the rice being especially delicious. This was a very tasty and also very inexpensive plate of food which is never a bad thing. The service was superb and restaurant was fun, vibrant, and festive. This a real treat to find and we can't wait to come back.

Service was slow. Food was horrible. We both only ate half of our order. First chips were stale, mild salsa was like tomato juice. And they charge for a second basket of stale chips. I got an order of nacho grande. It was all cheese, had to find any chips or anything else. My husband ordered a mucho burrito asada. It was pork and had no seasoning no sauce. Just bland ground pork. I told the waitress there was way too much cheese and she said she would tell them. It looked like canned cheese. Will never go back.

I am just letting everyone know this is formerly Montoyas and the food and service is exactly the same and fabulous

I love this place. Except today. There was no soap in the restroom when I arrived. I let the hostess know, yet when I left 1.5 hours later there was still no soap. She said she forgot, but on a Saturday night, this should be checked on, yet alone not forgotten considering I saw staff use the restroom while I was eating. Absolutely disgusting. We waited 20 minutes to order, so skipped the appetizer we planned on ordering as well as bar drinks. Our salsa was empty while we ordered, but she didn't offer more. We didn't see her til she dropped off our food 20 minutes later, again no offer of salsa. She didn't come back til we were done with empty plates, and dropped the check off with no attempt at real service. Our food was average but bland. She didn't bring the side of chicken we ordered, and having never stopped back, we never received. Flavor on food was not nearly as good as normal- rice and beans were just edible, not desirable.I let the hostess know how disappointed I was with our experience, and not only did she not get anyone/ management to address my concerns, she didn't even apologize or make any attempt to make the situation right. I am extremely disappointed and won't be recommending them as my go to place for friends and visitors till they regain my trust and business.

I enjoyed my trip to Montoya's. The service was a bit slow. It took a long time for anyone to take a drink order and to get our entrees, but the server was very friendly and took time explaining a few things on the menu. Our party of 3 ordered a few different things. I loved the Pirata Plato, which is a mixture of meat (I got chicken), peppers, grilled onions and cheese served with flour tortillas. It was delicious and the only thing that we tried that had any spiciness to it. Others in my party ordered cheese enchilladas (really the same no matter where you get them), shredded beef burrito (good), chicken tortilla soup (very good) and a chicken soft taco (bland). The worst thing was the taco - the chicken had absolutely no seasoning. The salsas were also pretty bland - the mild salsa tasted like canned tomatoes, the "hot" salsa tasted like mild jarred salsa. Rice and refried beans were fine.Overall it was a very average experience, but the delicious Pirata Plato bumped this up for me. I will be back.

And okay ambience restaurant was appointed in Mexican decor. Restaurant seems cleaned as we did a takeout order and was able to sit at one of the tables. Food was good it's what you would have expected from a Mexican restaurant service was on point with several people asking if I had been taking care of. Time that we were quoted on carry out order was spot on! If you looking for some tasty Mexican food I would stop in and try some beef tacos!

The crowd was a definite indicator that this is a local favorite. For more me, it was a pretty neutral experience. Nothing was standout good or bad. There was a packed house in a Tuesday night! Our server was fairly quick with getting drinks and chips to the table and taking our order. But the food to the table time was really long. I am sure the dinner crowd was the cause but it seems like a popular spot could manage that a bit better.The food was fine; average in every way. I would be okay visiting again, but probably wouldn't seek it out again.

Really bad experience as a doordasher they made me confirm order and didn't allow me to check if it was the right stuff so i did as i was asked and turns out to be wrong order and not only the wrong order but now I have to wait even longer after confirming order and make the person that order wait even longer because of there mistakes don't come here

Wow! I had not been here for several months. came in on a Saturday night the place was crazy busy! We sat at the bar and had the best time! Food was excellent, service was fantastic, bartender was outstanding! Going back soon! Everyone who love Mexican needs to give it a try, and ask for the peach margarita!

Staffs are very nice. The food just so so. Portion is smaller compared to other Mexican restaurants, flavor is plain, could use more spices, so does chips and salsa.
