Tacos are a big deal these days. They’re so popular that an entire day of the week has even been dedicated to them (#tacotuesday) and in Cincinnati, we will gather to celebrate this much-loved meal at the upcoming Cincinnati Taco Festival on July 8th. When narrowing down the best tacos in our city, it takes a lot of determination – and stretchy pants. But if you’re up for the challenge, try these eight taco spots around Cincinnati and your taste buds will go crazy.
- El Camino - 1004 Delta Ave. Cincinnati, OH 45208

They have a fairly diverse menu, so you have plenty of reasons to visit again and again, but the tacos (and chips and guac), are definite fan favorites.
- Mazunte - 5207 Madison Rd. Cincinnati, OH 45227
