★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Catherine Patino-Celedon · Sep 2025

Trying a new spot for lunch. Maybe I got the worst possible combination (southwest chicken bowl) or maybe the food is just that bad. The chicken literally tastes worse than a Costco rotisserie chicken and that’s super bland. Had the chicken been better I would have enjoyed it a lot more. I think this has potential with a different protein. Super kind man super great service.

Waited 30 minutes for my order, other customers got their orders before me even though I placed mine first. Staff gave me a card claiming it was for a free turtle, but it really just said buy 9 and get the 10th turtle free. Weird atmosphere and energy

★★★★☆ 4.0 Jojhan German · Apr 2025

Vibrant flavor at a reasonable price with a disappointing hygiene. Came in on the reds opening day after this place was recommended by a close friend. Apparently their very own “Turtles” were the item in the menu to order so we ordered two. One in baja style and one in Diablo style which is one of their items with the most heat 🔥 When i walked in, i was a bit confused due to the fact that no one is at the front door to greet or direct you and for a first timer like me— it was baffling. The concept is like a fast food restaurant in which you order off a standardized menu on a board behind the counter and can make requests to add or remove a specific element off each style. The food did take a while to come out. I assume it was because of the time closer to closing time. I was told by

We came here after I found it online and read the reviews. Most all of them suggested the Turtle. It did not disappoint! We had the turtle with chicken, Gomez style. It was delicious! It has this crispy cheese crusted exterior and really good Baja sauce. I definitely recommend coming here and getting the turtle and any style you get I’m sure will be good. The guy that waited on us Saturday afternoon was super friendly too! We will definitely be coming back next time we’re in Cincinnati.

There were a lot of good flavors here. It wasn't too expensive and had an okay atmosphere. It was like a mix of sit down and eat in. It wasn't that cozy but it was welcoming. Good food overall
