Taqueria Mercado - Downtown Cincinnati

The downtown Cincinnati outpost of the beloved Fairfield original, opened by the same family who came from Chicago in 1999. Located in the heart of downtown near the Aronoff Center for the Arts and Fountain Square, this location serves the same authentic, time-honored Mexican family recipes in a vibrant, historic building. The menu features genuine taco fillings like barbacoa, carnitas, tripe, and goat served traditional style on corn tortillas with onions and cilantro. Full bar with imported Mexican and domestic beers, margaritas, and traditional cocktails. Fresh-baked desserts including Three Milk Cake, Flan, Fried Ice Cream, and Sopapilla. Popular for pre-theater dining with accommodating staff who understand time constraints. Catering available for downtown events and business luncheons.
