El Barco Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Springdale

I have no clue why this place has such low rating! As a Mexican who was lucky to be raised by an amazing cook I criticize "Mexican" restaurants quite harsh. I am always looking for the authentic flavor, something close to home and after trying so many restaurants including "La Piñata," "Los Pericos," "El Rancho Grande" among many others around Ohio and California MI FAMILIA RESTAURANT is by far the BEST place!!! As soon as I had my first bite of their Camarones a la diabla I was beyond satisfied. My second visit I tried their red enchiladas and I couldnt believe how delicious they were. But def have to give their green enchiladas the best rating! Those green enchiladas have the exact same taste of those my mother used to cook. (SIDE NOTE: My mom is a native of Michoacan Mexican - some of the best cooks out there!) Yes ofc the food is spicy, ITS AUTHENTIC for a reason but if you ask the waiter for it to not be so spicy they will fix your dish! JUST ASK. And if you do not want it to be loud i would suggest to stay at home and cook, i have yet to go to a restaurant thats "quiet." Last go during the week when they do not have the karaoke event.

As for the waiters, all of our waiters have been rather polite and always make sure our orders as exactly what we expected. They are have an amazing sense of humor and can be quite funny. I love this place and cannot wait to dine out again. I am looking forward to trying their flan next time im...

If I could leave negative stars I would! Waiter didn't know english.....I mean get it's a Mexican restaurant but this is still America! Food took forever all came out at different times! Asked for chicken Quesadillas for the kids got only cheese. My food finally came out after well over an hour wait. And it was the wrong thing so I told them. I'm not waiting any longer for them to make what I ordered. So I ate my wife's food what was leftover. It was less than impressive and I'm not picky at all. I wasn't going to leave a tip after all of this having to chase the waiter down never asked for refills on drink felt completely ignored! But I noticed they adding a 15% tip on my bill without any approval. Bc they knew they weren't about to get a tip with the horrible service! I also noticed we were the only white ppl in there I hate to make things about race but I was very aware of the service everyone else that was there got! Stay...

Just go to Mi Tierra... here’s the address 11625 Chester Rd Cincinnati Oh (you’ll thank me later)

Honestly I do not like the service here. I waited 40min to get my food, the tables smelled like they were cleaned with a dirty cloth, and they were out of tortilla chips, which was not a big deal but they could’ve at least give us free refills on our water. They were not short staffed and they were not busy at all, plus the guy singing although he sang well he sang some song with a lot of curse words and there were kids around.

On top of this the waitress took my order and after the 40min she came and told me they were out of tortas as well instead of telling me right away, so here I am 40min later trying to choose another menu item.

Definitely not kid friendly, awful service, and I’ll be thinking twice before coming here again, very unpleased.

Again Just go to Mi Tierra where It tastes better and the...
