Tacos have always been a popular dish, but they seem to have stepped into the spotlight of popular food trends lately. They have their own day of the week, can be found on t-shirts and hats, and have been added to the menus of countless restaurants around the Cincinnati area. There are multiple spots in the Queen City where you can grab an authentic Mexican meal, but one eatery that recently opened a new location is certainly worthy of all the hype it’s received. Tortilleria Garcia serves what many consider the best tacos in town, and the handmade tortillas at this Cincinnati restaurant take them to a whole new level.
Tortilleria Garcia is a favorite taco destination in Cincinnati that now has two locations. The original on Springfield Pike has gained a loyal following, mostly because once you try the authentic food here, you can’t help but visit again and again.

The Springdale location expanded not long ago to add a dining area so that even more guests can sit and enjoy their tacos. The College Hill restaurant also has a dining room, or you can choose to take your meal to go from either location.

While tacos tend to steal the spotlight - especially on Taco Tuesday when they are only $1 each - don’t ignore the rest of the menu. Tamales, burritos, quesadillas, and even whole chickens are prepared with just as much care and flavor as the tacos.
