Tercer Dia Restaurant Y Tortilleria

With the beginning of Latino Heritage Month, I wanted to support local places and try somewhere j haven't been before. Thanks to the reviews here, I decided that this would be the place to give a shot. The place is not glamorous. I didn't see a sign with the name of the place outside, and the inside is minimal. Just some tables and chairs. The menu is a QR code and it's also on a chalkboard. Regardless of all of that, the food is truly a journey into a phenom homemade meal. I had the pepian and my friend had the pollo dorado. The wait wasn't bad at all, as we got there about 45 min before they closed, and we dug in immediately. The meat of my dish just fell off the bone in the most beautiful way imaginable and the fried chicken had the most flavorful and light crunch in just a bite. The tortillas are house made and really add to the experience of it all. I also got a Jamaica agua fresca, and it is one of the best I've had in the area. Just sweet enough without the overwhelming flavor of the hibiscus. Simply put, if you want a perfectly cooked homemade meal with excellent flavors, you have to visit this place!!

This little restaurant is family owned and operated. Everything is made from scratch. Fresh. And very authentic. The interior in nothing fancy with a few tables donned with plastic table clothes and one tv that had a soccer game on while we were there. Everything on the menu looked delicious. And it all had meat in it but my husband improvised and asked to leave the meat out of a burrito. I went for a dish that is only served on the weekends. The fried fish. My meal was perfect. Crispy skin and flaky and tender meat. If you're picky about what your food looks like, this isn't going to be your jam. My fish was bone in, skin on and head still attached kinda fried fish. It was filling and delicious. My husband finished his vegetarian burrito and stared at my food while I ate. I offered a bite and he broke his diet to try some. And he obviously enjoyed it as he helped himself to more. I have a confession to make, I hate sharing my food but this is too good not to share. The service was a little slow but friendly. Cash only. ATMs are down the road, there isn't one at the restaurant.

First!So the first thing you have to know about this place is it's quite no frills. The interior is an aqua blue with little wall art, the tables are sparse, and a family runs it.Now, on to the food!I had the Pepian de Gallina. It was stewed chicken in a. Brown sauce. It fell off the bone and the taste was quite savory. It came with rice, black beans (refried) and handmade corn tortillas.I will say I would definitely make a return trip to this place!

Covington's little secret! This place is very authentic. The food and the service was excellent! Now you can only get a tamale on the weekends, but they are well worth the drive down to try them.

Pollo Dorado and tacos were fantastic. The wifey and I loved it. Very authentic and no frills.

This place has grown over the years. It started off with just a few plates and struggled sometimes to keep food in stock. They've expanded the weekend menu to include tamales and chuchito . I got the tamales a few weeks ago and they were super flavorful and good! The main menu of pepian and pollo dorado is still there and still delicious! It's great to see this little family owned business grow! One word of warning, this is NOT a Mexican restaurant! You will not find chimichungas and queso dip (which aren't authentic anyways). I'm so excited the Cincinnati area is getting more Hispanic food options, were finally able to exploring new and more authentic menus.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while. We were not dissapointed. The tamales are phenomenal. Really everything we had was was amazing. Eat here!!!!!

I've been going to Tercer Dia in Covington for 4+ years and it's consistently been my favorite meal in the area. The food is made with love, perfectly seasoned and served without pretense. Their tortillas are made fresh and their salsa picante. If you think you know anything about food and hospitality, go to Tercer Dia and you'll realize you've had it wrong the whole time. I think if there's any restaurant in the Cincinnati area who deserves a James Beard award or Michelin star, it's this place.

Man! food was incredible ! definitely recommend this place for sure
