Pata Roja Tacos — Restaurant in Cincinnati

They get 3 stars, because I really liked the staff. Great people. Otherwise 1.7.

Order: Chicken Taco, Al Pastor Taco, Carnitas Taco, Chips&Guac

The good: The staff, the vibe, design, inside/outside seating, and over all feel. The Hibiscus 🌺 Tea was quite good as well.

The Bad: People are calling these authentic. And while, I tend to agree in appearance, that’s where it stops. The food was absolutely flavorless. Made me question if I had Covid, I didn’t. The Guac was brown (yes I’m aware it colors) missed all the flavor. To that note, I was just in Nashville where the Guac was so good I was asking about the recipe at a different taco place. The drink selection is limited. While I love the glass bottles, it’s Coke(regular only), Water, the two teas, or a booze. Was not impressed with that limitation, but like I said the Tea was good.

All in all, if you are craving good tacos, this places misses the mark by a wide margin.

If you want to support a local business with great staff(polite, friendly, courteous), and eat flavorless $30 tacos, I would absolutely say to swing by.

I had high hopes based on the reviews. But the reviews miss the mark entirely, or people...

Wow. It surprised me to find a place that I say is worse than hot head burrito but they did it.

More costly and lower quality than Chipotle by far. Just a sad example of Mexican inspired food. The salsas were the only good part of the meal. Over cooked mushy rice. Bland carnitas.

*adding to the review. It got cut off when I posted.

It was all super bland. The carnitas was an under seasoned shredded pork. Carnitas should be refried and have little crispy bits and have some flavor.

I made reference to the two larger chains as your food more resembles those than any of the Mexican places. I could list all of the better places here too but that’s likely not that helpful.

The bowl was bland with some level of help from the salsas. The only parts of real flavor. Again the rice was mushy and flavorless....

10/10 chefs kiss 😽 Especially the sweet potatoe taco. (“shoutout to the beautiful queen with the braids for the lovely introduction and menu suggestions”.)🥰
