Papi Jocho's Street Dogs And Cantina

Had to try this place when we were exploring Covington. I mean Mexican street dogs and tacos?!? How could we not! I ordered a elote papi jocho dog and birria taco, along with some hibiscus tea (aka jamaica drink). My hubby ordered the eloti papi jocho dog and elote bacon taco. We ordered the original papas fritas to share. The fries were way undercooked, so the server apologized and took them off the bill. The hot dogs were amazing! Definitely the highlight for both of us. My hubby loved the elote bacon taco. My birria taco was ok. It was surprisingly bland. I was regretting not ordering the elote bacon taco! The hibiscus tea was so good. It was on the sweeter side, and not as tart as some places make it, which I liked. The server was super nice and helpful, and even offered to get us some ice water for our trip home. Now that I'm writing a review about this place, I'm really craving the hot dog and hibiscus tea! Whenever we're in the area, we will definitely make a point to go here.

So.... A taco is not a taco. There's cheap okay tacos and then there's the best taco you've ever had! This place is the best! Get the shrimp ones! ? Staff is the best! Great first date. Great environment. Perfect!

This place is one of my favorites in the Cincinnati area. My wife and I loved it so much we went 2 Fridays in a row and I got the exact same thing both times. The food is phenomenal and the staff is very friendly. The food comes from the same kitchen as Agave Rye so if you like the chips and dip from there you can order it here. We went on a Friday night both times and were seated quickly and our food arrived fairly quick as well.

Man when we walked in I was not sure what to expect but........I have not had a better taco in Cincinnati or Covington. I had the Elote and shrimp tacos. Seasoned and delicious. The Elote was phenomenal. Corn and bacon plus.....OMG. I do not recommend the queso or salsa. It was not for me. Not terrible but don't waste time. I also had a Paloma that was not great. But what you need to come for are definitely the tacos and the Cadillac Margarita. I love Mexican food and I feel bad because I truly don't think I'll go to any of my previous favorites for tacos. They also have street dogs but I haven't had any of those yet. My friend got a carry out for her husband. By the time I let her know I was gone he had eaten his tacos and was ready for the next visit.

It took an hour just to make our food, and still forgot things, even though we were the only people there. The straws had dirt on them. There was WAY too much salt on the chips, about 1.5 teaspoons per chip. The late food was all burnt. A pregnant woman with pink hair who seem to be a regular came in and they automatically serve her before us. And the table that we wanted that was closed due to covid was open for her. It was all rubbery too.
