Such a fun spot! The atmosphere was colorful and really unique — you could tell a lot of thought went into the vibe. Our waiter was super insightful and helped us narrow down what to order because there were honestly so many great options to choose from. The food was really good, but the drink… killer. Definitely one of the highlights. We’ll for sure be back!

Came here for lunch after wedding dress shopping with bridesmaids. Food was good, sat at the long table. Service was pretty good, our only note here of that you DO NOT need 2 chips and queso for a table of 8 people as suggested by the waitress. We had over 1/2 of each one leftover. The chips and queso is HUGE, honestly it could be a meal on its own.

As a group of three colleagues, we had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The lady staff member taking our order was very attentive, accommodating our preferences and suggesting delicious dishes tailored to our tastes. The service was exceptional, and the food was absolutely delightful. Portions were incredibly generous compared to typical European servings. I couldn’t even finish my dish! The cheese-topped potato chips were a standout. The ambience is also very funky. I absolutely and highly recommend this place and would gladly return if I’m back in Cincinnati.

Amazing tacos, so amazing my heifer of a husband ate two of my tacos from the flight and I had to basically push him out of the door. He was so full and satisfied lol! Truly a great atmosphere and service along with the most bomb flavor profile in each item on the menu ! 10 out of 10 ! If I had $100 gift card to agave and Rye, I would still spend $100 and smile about it.

The food is amazing. Lindsy was the manager on shift and she was truly amazing as well. I definitely appreciate the great customer service and the beautiful embracing atmosphere. The host was fast to greet me. Make sure I was accommodated. The experience was excellent. I will return.

Visiting from out of town for work, came here to pick up food for takeout, I arrived early and sat at the bar to have an old fashioned, the bartender told me of their “new fashioned” and I agreed to it. It was delicious. They brought my food out, I finished my drink and headed back to my hotel. And with all THREE items that I ordered everything was just incredible. Interesting things I had found to online order on the menu that completely exceeded expectations. The place has a great atmosphere, the drink was great, and even after 10 minutes in a to-go container, the food was delicious.

Cincinnati must be absolutely spoiled for tacos, because this place somehow earned high ratings while serving what might be the worst tacos in the Midwest. They don’t even bother warming the Kroger-brand tortilla—just slap it cold around a hard shell like a confused carb burrito, then stuff it with fillings that have clearly never met seasoning. I’m still trying to figure out what those glowing reviews were tasting, because it definitely wasn’t flavor.

Service was nice, ambience was good too, food wasnt as good, expected better based on ratings. Got combination of vegetarian tacos, hard shell tacos were extremely oily and soft shell tacos tasted like store bought taken out of fridge, not made inhouse. The crispy carrots was the only thing that was interesting, never seen anywhere before. Beer battered cauliflower was also too oily, not good in taste. Balsamic mushrooms were overly tart.

Great food and modern choice of music set a good vibe. Ordered a pair of tacos and the house Margherita, which was on special. Tacos were great and the Margherita was above average for house.

We had great service, in a cool atmosphere, eating tasty tacos. They recently revamped the menu and I like this new one. My son had the tacos flight and the 3 tacos were good-sized and a great deal. The OG Marg (frozen) is the best marg North of Margaritaville. The arcade games are a nice treat, but several didn’t work right (or at all). Taco Tuesday discounts a few of the full-sized tacos, and don’t miss happy hour until 6p. Love A&R!
