The food was amazing
Paula A.

Best Mexican restaurant place around, never had better. I love the atmosphere here and the customer service is on point

Brian M.

Probably my new go to Mexican restaurant! Not only is the staff friendly and the food delicious, but it's at a reasonable price! Win-win-win. There is plenty of seating so don't be intimidated if you see that the parking lot seems full. They have televisions throughout the restaurant to show the game if you want to watch or just enjoy the party you came with in a booth.

Ranchero Burrito
Christian M.

The food was great and the service was great too. I'm not from the area and this was a nice treat. Me and my girlfriend came for a nice dinner and it didn't disappoint the prices were great and the menu had everything you needed. Highly recommend and will be coming back!

Menu

Overall the food was very tasty. Chips and salsa were on point. I had the "Chile Colorado" and it was very filling. The service was very prompt and every body's meal was served nice and hot. Despite it being lunch, the servings were plentiful. The ambiance and decor was welcoming and the soft Spanish background music was almost like being on a short vacation.

The best fajitas on earth!

The cleanest and most amazing restaurant in the state in my opinion! The food is incredible, I mean like talk about it for days incredible! The price is amazing too! Like they completely out do themselves! the best Mexican food in Kentucky hands down. Worth the drive! Homemade guacamole, incredible fajitas, the street tacos are SO good. We have never had a single complaint about this place!

Small but quality taqueria away from home. Solid 3.8…read more This spot was a surprise stop, as I thought it was another place with another type of food, but it was a diamond in the rough and it totally worked out. I was in a mood for birria tacos and it was delicious. The birria was seasoned well, had the right balance of cheese and cilantro fried inside, and didn't need much dunking, It was delicious. My boss had a burrito loco, which was huge. I thought it'd be too much , but he munched it down like a champ. They have cervezas gringas and mexicanas. They have limited aguas frescas and Jarritos soda. The owner checked on us regularly, and made sure we were taken care of. There was a big screen playing Vicente Fernandez live concerts and ranchers style tunes going on in the background to set the mood. Taco Tuesday special is $2.99 for any taco. Parking lot available. Glad they have this close to the base proper. It's kinda divey, and even though it wasn't the place we were looking for, it worked out really well. I enjoyed the experience, and it was a good place to catch up with friends.

Shortly after a couple of take outs came in. Before we left a group a 6 arrived. Overall, we had a pleasant experience. I intend to visit again for an alternative experience to my usual. They do have a bit of a tough competition to my usual especially since my favorite item is not on their menu here. I had asked for a small side of guacamole but ended up being served and charged the full sized side, which is 50% more in price. Next time, I'll probably point to the menu to avoid being charged so much more. They do a military discount, but it seemed like it was only about a $1 or the person at the register may struggle with math. Either way we'll likely be back again.

Tequila House unfortunately for me didn't really hit the mark, but definitely has some redeeming qualities. We came here with my husband's family, so we were a rather large group. The table we were sat at was a little tight, but that wasn't a problem, we were happy to be seated together. We started with the choriqueso dip. This was probably the highlight of the meal, but the portion was so small, there were some people at the table that didn't even get to try it. We all got assorted entrees and none of them were anything to write home about. The atmosphere here is was really sets it apart from other places in Etown. It's very in-your-face stroby, loud, and heavily-decorated. To me, it feels a bit contrived, but it definitely is different from other places in town, and could make for a fun night out for those looking for that. There was live music too, which was really loud, but again if that's what you're looking for then this is the place. Overall, this was not my favorite, but I'd be willing to come back if I'm craving a sort of night out.
