107 E. 12th St., Over-the-Rhine
Gomezs walk-up taco window in OTR has it all: mahi-mahi tacos with slaw and Baja sauce, chips with pineapple salsa, taco salad bowls and owner Andrew Gomezs greatest invention, the Turtle Shell. Take a tortilla, stuff it with rice, beans, sour cream, lettuce, salsa, meat, veggies and cheese, layer in a tostado for crunch, put some cheese on the top and then brown it. Its a fat little crunchy burrito envelope, a walking taco. Perhaps on a different caliber than other listed in the round-up, but customers do, in fact, order tacos through a hole in the wall.
