Yes, you should go here! The tacos were outstanding and they had a great variety. The margaritas were also very well made. We were able to sit outside and it was perfect with the shade covering so we didn't have to worry about the warm sun. Our service was good as well and it was nice to hear a little about the building history from them too. Will definitely go back if we are in town!

I had tried dinner at Liberty so went to lunch at Hamilton to try the newer location. So interesting. Very eclectic. It's really fancy looking walking in, then a mix of Spanish flair, day if the dead, punk... just something different everywhere you look. Washed my hands and found more cool art in the bathroom. Server was great. Food was great. The nacho and queso was under $5 on Tuesday and the chips were huge. You won't leave hungry. A little sad they narrowed the menu down by alot. But still some great choices.

So nice to have this place in Hamilton. Server was great tonight. Patio seating was perfect for this visit. Everyone enjoyed their choices. All the food came out promptly and correct. Parking can be limited so keep that in mind for a weekend visit.

I didn’t buy the hype when hearing my friends talk about this place. I finally tried it myself and my goodness it’s asserted itself into one of my favorite restaurants! Entering, you come across a beautiful interior intricate with unique designs. Staff are very friendly, but they do not take reservations. Waiters are extremely friendly and quirky. They offer great deals, happy hour, rewards etc. Their chips are easily the best I’ve had and their salsa and queso compliments it perfectly. Their margaritas are super cool and aesthetic. They are heavy on their pours so it explains the higher prices of drinks. So good. For food this is where I was blown away. Their tacos are insane, and while I could advocate for every taco on the menu, I have to emphasize the “The crown Jewel”. I didn’t think it was possible to taste lobster this fresh in Ohio. Their Mac on the taco is also creamy but also rich. It’s the best taco I’ve ever had. Honorable mentions are “The Alderman” and the “Gangsta”. I have not had the alligator taco but have heard great things about that. “The Big Thumper” which is kangaroo was very tasty but a little too much maple syrup. I also got an Elote as a start and the presentation was insane. Taste was right up there with it all. The dessert I got was the strawberry mousse with cinnamon sugar churro chips for dipping which was alright. Overall I will be back for the rest of my lifetime because my goodness I love this place.

All the Food was very flavorful! Unique place with some unique ideas for tacos. The gansta hands down my favorite. Sarah was one of the best servers I've ever had anywhere. She was so sweet, super knowledgeable as this was our first time here. Super attentive to our needs. This girl deserves a raise for sure!
