BEST MEXICAN BREAKFAST SPOT This restaurant will have a cult following soon. It's just amazing. The food is incredibly delicious and it feels like you're eating at a Michelin 5 Star. The service is top notch and the atmosphere is cozy. The restaurant is new and has been remolded. Try the Mexican coffee and finish your meal with the churros.

Horchata Aqua Frescas
Jessica K.

The food here, as I said in another review on Google, is incomparable. Portions are generous, and the food is made with love, care, and generous spices. The staff are incredibly warm, excited to see you, and (time and level of traffic allowing) happy to make recommendations and conversation. The decor is charming, very amusing (Cafecito y Chisme light tickles me). The colors are warm and inviting. Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to steal someone my daughter's horchata aqua frescas while I try to make space for dessert.

Biscuits & Chorizo Gravy

Stopped by for Sunday brunch. We were able to get a table pretty quickly despite arriving during peak brunch time. We ordered a the chorizo biscuits and gravy which were a fun twist on a classic. The service was great and the staff was all incredibly friendly. Next time I definitely want to check out one of the sweet offerings. They looked like a great indulgent treat!

The place is very clean and the service was excellent. We had the pancakes and French toast. I also had the hot chocolate. The food was delicious. I didn't care for the hot chocolate. I think it had cinnamon in it. There is plenty of parking in the back.

Be sure to double check what you are being charged when you get your check. When we first dined here, we weren't told they charge an upcharge of 3.99% for using a credit card. I paid it and let it go. However, we returned this past week with CASH so we wouldn't have to pay the upcharge. Our server asked if we would be paying with cash or card. We told her cash. We paid our check and I stuffed the receipt in my pocket. When I got home I pulled the receipt out and looked at it. The 3.99% upcharge had been added eventhough I paid with cash. This whole upcharge scam being employed by more and more restaurants is bad enough. But when you pay cash and it's still added is downright unethical. Once I realized what had happened, I called the phone number on my receipt. The person that answered identified himself as Noe the owner. I explained what had happened and he said he would make it right. I'm supposed to bring the check back in and they will refund the the charge. I did have a fairly large check so it's more than a few cents. Noe blamed Clover, the name of his credit card processor. I thought to myself, I didn't use a credit card??? Noe mentioned he also charges the upcharge at his other restraurant Hoopsters in Jeff. I told him that yes, we had eaten there also and was not told about the upcharge until my card had been charged. I also told him I have a problem with these upcharges when there are no signs stating the upcharge anywhere on the premises and the server doesn't mention it when you hand them your card. Noe said Hoopsters has new menus and it's now stated on the menu. He actually said it's now in small print at the bottom of Hoopster's menu. Unfortunately, we really like the food at El Mananero, but I will not tolerate these 'gotcha' tactics so many of these restaurants now employ. It's their loss as we and our friends eat out numerous times every week. Any restaurant that employs upcharges should make it known either by signage or prominently displayed on the menu. PERIOD!

Stopped in El Mananero to group some breakfast since I was running early. The staff was very friendly and the place was very clean. I ordered the Burrito mananero to go. It was Avery good size and flavorful. Will try the restaurant again.

Great place for breakfast - outstanding service - food nearly as good - Mexican themed with a few American choices - certainly worth a try.

Geraldine's was a brilliant dream that came true in 2018…read more The son of Geraldine and his wife made this happen. This cafe is located on Wall Street in the heart of downtown Jeffersonville, my new home. It's the local cafe where Bob still works and makes his signature dishes just like mom did. Ok, this is a must visit. It's located on Wall Street, and it's on street parking. Sometimes you will have to wait to even eat here. It's worth it. The best of Jeff. And the menu is very simple and easy. All of the best foods all in one place. Now that you know what to eat, the menu sits in front of you. Hopefully you have a table and all yours are gathered together ready for the best of small town fun and deliciousness. Let's get it done.

Met friends here for Sunday 10 AM breakfast and our wait time for a table was less than 10 minutes…read more We admired all of the sunflowers and other plants surrounding the building while we waited. There was also outdoor cafe seating, but we opted for an indoor booth due to the heat and humidity. I had my usual 1/2 veggie omelet (Rosie's Choice with spinach, mushrooms, cheese) with dry wheat toast (Smucker's grape and strawberry jelly are tableside) and a large tomato juice, which were all very good. Price was about $10 plus tip, so a phenomenal price. Our party of 4 was served and on our way in less than an hour. This place is a real gem and highly recommend.

On a recent trip to Louisville, we stayed in Nulu and were looking for a walkable breakfast option…read more Luckily, Biscuit Belly was just a few blocks away. The menu is pretty large for a fast casual restaurant, so there is something to every palate or just about every dietary restriction. I had the delicious Edgy Veggie: Fried green tomatoes with mushroom gravy on a biscuit with an iced coffee. The coffee is lovely and there is a good range of specialty lattes (hot or iced) including milk alternatives for the dairy challenged, such as myself. The staff was delightful and friendly, and equally as cheerful was the decor of the restaurant. No boring gray here! Despite many options our second day in town, we decided to return the next day. I wish we had Biscuit Belly in the Chicago area!

The food was good ... However, it can be REALLY expensive…read morebased on where you park. We came in town for the weekend and were told we had to try Biscuit Belly. Unfortunately our experience was tainted when an additional $30 parking charge was "added" to the cost of the meal. We parked on the side lot where there was a sign stated we would get our parking validated. When we placed our order and tried to validate we were told it was for the back lot not the side lot. My husband spoke with Casey, General Manager, she shared they were frustrated and this happens all the time. This seems to be very predatory and something more customer centric (signage) needs to be put in place. It is apparently a known problem that they continue not to address and it essentially ruined our dining experience.

El Mexicano Restaurant - Fajita Nachos-chicken Wonderful!

El Mexicano Restaurant

4.7(15 reviews)

I wish I could join the chorus of 4 and 5 star reviews. Looking for a restaurant with atmosphere?…read more You won't find it here. My first warning was the decrepit sign over the door in a dilapidated strip center. But, as the saying goes, "don't judge a book by its cover." The food was good. Not great. My usual order is fajitas, this time a chicken, steak, and chicken combo. The plate was served sizzling. Served with 3 small tortillas and the usual fixin's. El Mexicano doesn't serve any beans other than refried, so, no option for black beans, pinto or borracho. The shrimp in the dish were perfect, the chicken was dried out and there were about 6 little strips of steak. The grilled onions and peppers were very good. My wife's shrimp dish was very salty. She prefers the interpretation of Shrimp Mexicana at others Mexican restaurants. And for good measure, because we asked for some lime to squeeze on the shrimp and they tacked on $2 to the bill. But what really resulted in my barely average review was the cleanliness of El Mexicano; or rather, the lack of it. You'll notice a yellow bucket that hangs on the wall in the dining room, yes, in full sight of diners. I witnessed a server drop something on the floor, grab a cloth from the bucket and clean the floor. Then, she returned the cleaning cloth to the bucket. Moments later, another server used the same cloth to clean tables! The health department would have a hissy fit if they saw this. Worse, when I mentioned this to the manager, he was indifferent. I know he understood me, he just didn't care. If the manager is so indifferent to such an obvious health hazard, I can't fathom what goes on in the kitchen. El Mexicano is a "one and done" for us.

Love the food and great service! We have tried several places and this has become our go to!read more
