El Rio Grande Mexican - Newport

The best Mexican restaurant in Cincinnati. I've gone to this place for 15 years and never had a bad experience. Delicious food, generous portions and great service. The Nachos Fajitas and homemade hot salsa are my favorites.

Had lunch here and they were very fast. Carne Asada was delicious. Restaurant was clean. Would go again.

We were in Cincinnati for a vacation when we decided we wanted mexican food so we decided to try this place. Food was the best Mexican food I've ever had. The service was great too. I just wish we didn't live 3 hours away. We will definitely be back again when we make it back to the area.

Quality has actually gone downhill since the last time (about 3 years ago). Burritos were lukewarm when it was served, and most of the plate was iceberg salad and pico to hide the smaller sizes. They also calculate 3.5% for non-payment payments. Apparently there's a sign on the door, but if the door is held for you when you go in, you don't see it. A reasonable approach would be to charge money price credit price, but they seem to prefer the hidden fee.

Taco Salat was so tender that a lot of bowl was unusable, just a dripping mess. The meat in it was delicious. And the vegetables were fresh. Such a better than mediocre experience. Service was good.
