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

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 one of my friends that this place started as a take out restaurant only in which people would order through the small window on the side of the building which is still there!
It started as a late night meal take out and eventually they rented the rest of the space and were finally able to open a dine in area.
The ambiance was the unpleasant part of the experience and was definitely concerning.
All the tables were dirty and had crumbs from the previous customers, there was no safe place. On a very slow night like this one, i would expect a more hygienic environment or at least an attempt to accommodate new customers to sit and enjoy their meal on a clean space.
Also, one of the cooks came out of the kitchen with no gloves nor hair knit to take the trash.
Huge red flag for me.
The sanitation was the biggest downfall; nonetheless, the food was delightful, vibrant, and unique to their style.
The turtles were crunchy packed with flavor and the tortilla which felt more like a pita or gyro was a great portion size considering it was 12$—-not a bad deal.
The real kick was brought by the diablo style turtle which had me breathing heavily and making several trips to the self serve water station.
It was vibrant, flavor packed, fresh and bold which is very characteristic of a mexican style restaurant.
So spicy that it made me reconsider using their restroom. I know it must be a real concern for the maintenance guy there!
I recommend getting their spicy crema sauce which settles down the heat and also adds a little kick to your meal. 2 in one which is like magic.
All in all, i would come back to order take out but due to their unsanitary conditions, i wouldn’t eat at the restaurant again.
Would recommend with caution.

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

Gomez turtles are a must if you’re in Cincinnati. Like Taco Bell on flavor steroids. So delicious and a Cincinnati staple.

Nice small hidden joint with delicious food. The Barbacoa was super tender and the portions were on point. First time trying the famous Turtle and it hit home. The cheese crust on the top of the shell was awesome! Great draft selection and will be visiting again.

Some of the best tacos I have had along with very reasonable pricing. Stopped here on a whim with a group of 8 and we were able to grab a table and have a delicious dinner for under $20! Plus they have some good beers on tap too! Unfortunately the tacos were so good I forgot to take pictures of the food, but still I highly recommend checking this place out!

Gomez is a must visit whenever we’re in town. Card carrying members of the turtle club. The tofu Baja turtle is my main squeeze, pair it with a cider and you’ve got yourself the platonic ideal of a lunch with leftovers.
