Our Story

A Hidden Gem

Crown Cantina is the hidden gem of Cincinnati’s Mexican dining scene. It’s a place where authenticity and intention converge to provide diners with an evening infused with adventure and a touch of luxury, always ready to surprise with something new. It’s unapologetically bold, offering a high-energy environment for those who love to mix great food with a great time.

Elevating Mexican tradition, the menu harmonizes regional nuances with mezcal and tequila cocktails crafted as liquid art. From the cocktails to gluten-free dishes, Cantina is for the adventurous spirit who appreciates both flavor and fun.

“We are excited to bring some Spanish influence, to what has become ‘Crown’s Corner.’”

Nixtamal

Masa, From Scratch

We specialize in nixtamalization — taking corn from dry to hydrated, grinding it into masa, and pressing our own tortillas in-house, every day. It is the reason the whole kitchen can be gluten-free without a single asterisk.
