TAHONA Taqueria+Tequila Bar can be found in downtown Loveland, just a short stroll from the bike trail. I was excited to try a newer (to me) restaurant, though I already have a couple of favorites in the area. Orders are placed at the counter, items are quickly prepared, and then brought to your designated table.

Tacos

For lunch, I had the chicken taco and the pork carnitas taco ($3.85 each). For starters, I wouldn’t get the chicken again. It was a really bland mix of chicken, tomatillo-chimichurris sauce, and queso fresco, and the microgreens on top did little to help. The pork carnitas combined barbacoa sauce, corn and poblano pico, cotija cheese, and cilantro. This was a lot better, though still, I have had many better tacos now that the Cincinnati area is full of taco options.

Salsa Bar

They do have a fresh salsa bar, which I appreciated to try to spice up the chicken taco. But with all of that said, there are better meals to have in Loveland. However, if you are in a hurry, there are worse places you could go.

Bluegrass Brewing Company is a staple of Louisville. They helped to pioneer the microbrewery scene, and since 2010 they have occupied a former bank space downtown.

Inside

When in Louisville you have to try a hot brown. The hot brown at BBC features sliced turkey, tomatoes, bacon, mornay sauce, cheddar jack cheese, and smoked paprika served open-faced over sourdough toast ($17.90). This is a great example of this famous Louisville dish and the serving size is large enough that it could be shared.

Hot Brown

Bluegrass Brewing Company is worth a stop for great pub food and while you are there try a dank IPA.
