Yes, the taco truck is gone, replaced by the sit down establishment right there near where the truck used to sit. They Taqueria La Condesa is in the shopping center there by the big orange drive thru. The food is still spectacular and AMAZING! It is one of the places I cannot resist and find myself there at least once a week to chow down on the chicken tacos and quesadillas.

The Taco Patrol and Habenero’s is nothing but Chipotle on wheels. In fact, I’d rather go to Chipotle. Very disappointing. I have no opinion on Azul as they have not started up yet, but they will not be serving the Hispanic community (unless they come to downtown or the college area), so form your own conclusions. We have no authentic Mexican in Cincinnati, trucks or otherwise. You have to go across the river to Covington or Newport, or travel North of the city into the suburbs.

Big Jims is the bomb. The best cheese coneys in ohio loaded with cheese and sauce and onions little mustard and then steamed awsome. Sam also has a Italian steak sub that is off the hook also a 5-way chili that is like none other. Well worth the visit. Say hey to Sam. Open 11 to 4 during the winter, later in the summer.

The La Condesa taco truck has been gone for about 3 or 4 months now, but I just got back from the sit down restaurant that is now open! They have the same menu as the truck had, with a few “higher class” additions. Prices on the original menu are unchanged. Plus you can still get Manzanita Sol, the apple soda!

Cincinnati will soon be getting its third taco truck when Taco Azul starts operating. The other two are Senor Roy’s Taco Patrol and Habenero’s. There is also a taco cart that is operated by Nada.

This taco truck rocks! The chicken quesadillas are the best! They’re great, cheap and fast. It’s my favorite and I’ve been to many taco trucks, in Columbus and in Mexico, this is one of the best.

For Springfielder’s there is also a La Taqueria near downtown on Columbia? Before you get to the Masonic Temple. It’s in the old lunch stand next to what use to be a Howard Johnson’s motor lodge back in the day. The restaurant is located right next to the street on a corner lot. Haven’t tried there yet. The Big Jim’s Coney/Sub front on Mitchell is open. Jimmy and son run it. They seem to know everyone who comes in. Note: if you order the cheese coney’s- get two, one just is not enough. Another great little place is Mic’s on Route 4. On the right hand side as you go out of town. Great lasagna! Reasonably priced. The y use to be where the Big Jim’s storefront is now. Had to move to a bigger location.

The apple soda is called Manzanita Sol. It is good and taste like carbonated apple juice. They don’t have it all the time, but most.

Mi Bandera on 161 has a great selection of different sodas, if your interested. They have lots there that aren’t at any trucks I’ve seen.

That place on the north side is called Taqueria Don Julio’s. It’s in the old Harvester Inn at the end of Lagonda. Much bigger selection than La Condesa, although the food is more expensive. I have ate there a few times and prefer to go on Sundays as they have some non menu food specials. Nice english speaking lady works the counter and is very helpful.

Thanks for the info on the chicken truck, have drove past it a number of times but have yet to stop. Have to make it a point to now.
