Taqueria Cruz — Restaurant in Covington

The food was decent, and probably great if you want authentic Mexican. I'm used to the more cheesy TexMex type of food. We had an $8 burrito, an $8 torta, and a glass bottle of Coke. Total was $21? Pre-tip. That was an expensive bottle of Coke!

When we walked in, the only available seats were covered in dirty dishes. The server cleared the table, but those dishes were just set next to piles more a little off to the side of the dining area. This is a very small place. Don't expect a large party to find seating together.

The server was super nice...

I visited this place twice because my first experience was great but unfortunately, my second visit was a huge letdown. The food I received today was nothing like what I ordered, and the quality was disappointing. My taco looked like scraps rather than ground beef, and it tasted off. I genuinely feel like I wasted both my time and money. I had high hopes after my first visit and thought I found a new go-to spot, but sadly, I won’t be returning. I’m still feeling unwell from the meal and really disappointed in how different the experience...

Yes, it's small. No, its not fancy. But oh man - The food is fantastic! I highly recommend the bistek (beefsteak) tacos. A little queso fresco, onion, cilantro, and some fresh lime juice - MUY DELICIOSO!!

Very authentic, and they even have some original family recipes. The staff is also wonderful, and knowing a little bit of Spanish goes a long way.

Sure the place could look a little nicer, but the food gets 5/5 stars. JUST FYI, THIS IS CASH ONLY (luckily, there is ATM...
