4 editor picks in Cincinnati.
Cincinnati's Mexican dining tilts toward the lively, bar-forward restaurant rather than the taqueria. Bakersfield in Over-the-Rhine pairs tacos and tequila in a loud, late room, while Nada downtown takes the polished modern-Mexican route with a long agave list. Together they anchor the city's Mexican scene in its busiest neighborhoods.
