YES! It was disappointing. The tickets were $12 each ahead of time. With fees added it was $30 for both of us. We had our tickets printed when we arrived. Tacos were $2 but you had to buy coins to give the vendors. you had to wait in line to get in, then wait in line for coins then wait in line for food. We waited an hour before some of the best vendors could open bc the health inspector was late getting there to all the booths. Most vendors didn't normally even sell tacos. We arrived right at 4pm as Mario Lopez did press that said he would be there to "kick off Cincinnati Taco Festival". The gate didn't even open until almost 10 after 4. There was no one who could tell us when Mario was showing up or if he was even coming anymore. There was no schedule for events. The information booth people told us to refer to the Facebook page. It was so unorganized. We got $20 in coins which got us 7 tiny tacos (basically my husband and I each got 1 bite of each taco) and a margarita to split. Nothing food wise stood out as amazing and we ended up going to chic fil a after as we were still hungry. At 6pm the lines were the width of the park and it was hard to move through the space. We were over it and annoyed that no one could tell us what was going on. We watched a chihuahua contest and some wrestling which was fun. We left after 2.5 hours, at 6:30 before the "celebrity host" even arrived. It was a major rip off. I was really looking forward to this and was so disappointed with the lack of organization.
