Nomad

225 Fairfield Ave., Bellevue
Bellevue bar and eatery Nomad opened its doors in September. They serve craft cocktails and beer, but the main attraction is their boozy (and virgin) milkshakes, tater tot baskets and tacos. The space is meant to bring together the adventurers in life to relax, connect and reflect on their journeys. Eventually they plan to incorporate a vintage double-decker bus in the courtyard to provide an eclectic seating option, but for now, they will utilize the space for more dreamy, string-lit seating (with heaters during the chilly months).

Montoya’s Mexican Restaurant

Friendly service and fresh, affordable food have kept Montoya’s a neighborhood staple for decades. Patrons rave about their authentic Mexican dishes like chilaquiles, their signature spicy Pirata Plate and anything with mole. Great margaritas are the cherry on top.

Taco Casa

1202 E McMillan St., Walnut Hills; 10798 Montgomery Road, Montgomery
This family-owned taco joint has been serving Cincy taco fans for more than four decades. While the Hyde Park restaurant closed (the building is being sold), there are still two other Taco Casa locations to fulfill your cravings. Menu items range from the house specialty taco salad to a double enchilada pie and flacos (tacos with both a soft flour tortilla and hard taco shell) to classic burritos. On Mondays, meat-lovers can get an extra scoop of ground beef for free.
