I'm a huge fan of Mexican food. Therefore I've tried many different Mexican restaurants in the…read morearea, as well as in other cities and states. That being said, El Mazatlan remains my number one choice, hands down. Their staff are always well-dressed, professional and friendly. their food is always fresh and hot. And their prices have always been consistent and fair for the 10+ years I've been a customer. The restaurant itself has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and is always kept in good order with clean tables. There's an extensive menu that has something to offer everyone (even the pickiest of eaters). Once you're seated, you'll never wait longer than a couple of minutes to get your drinks, chips and salsa. The staff will usually take your order within five minutes of when you're seated and the wait for your order is usually no longer than 10 minutes (unless they're busy or you have a large party). If you're passing through on I-65, go where the locals go! El Mazatlan is sure to have something to satisfy your appetite for Mexican cuisine!

We stopped in at El Mazatlan for lunch over the weekend. The restaurant has plenty of seating and…read morewas not crowded at all. The menu is large with some good lunch options. Service was fast, and they brought chips and salsa quickly. I had the veggie fajitas, which had a ton of vegetables beyond the normal heavy carrots, peppers, and onions you get at most Mexican places. The rest of the family liked the burritos they ordered, and the beans and rice were good as well. Overall, this was a good value and way better than getting fast food if you are driving on the highway.

After a day exploring Kentucky Down Under, we hit up El Mazatlan for a late lunch. It was a…read morebeautiful day outside, so we chose to eat on the patio. There was a covered portion, but we stayed in the sun to stay warm in the cool spring air. The server sat us immediately and brought us complimentary fresh chips and salsa. We were starving, so we gobbled them up while flipping through the extensive menu. The servers brought us extra chips and salsa while we waited for our food and drinks. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and two steak tacos off the à la carte lunch menu (until 3pm daily). There was a $0.99 upcharge each for grilled vs shredded chicken and carne asada vs ground beef, and it was totally worth it. My daughter ordered two grilled chicken quesadillas as well. And our friends ordered beef nachos and a fajita platter. All of it was delicious, with large portions. I had a couple of house margaritas, which were tasty and a steal at just $5.50 each. My only complaints were that the queso dip was rather small and not worth the $5, and (like most places) they charge way too much for a soda ($3.25). The service was excellent. Our server Juan was friendly and very attentive, and several others checked in on us throughout our meal to ensure we were taken care. I'll definitely be back the next time I visit Cave City, Hidden River Cave, or Kentucky Down Under.

I'm on the fence between 3* and 4* here. If it were in a region of the country were the food is…read moregenerally edible, I'd give 3*, but they do better by comparison, and the vegetables are fresh... Anyhow, it's white people taco night food. Steak fajitas were fine--steak was underseasoned and a bit chewy, but peppers, guac, and pico were relatively fresh. Tortillas were soft, rice and beans were lukewarm and nothing special. Food came out extremely fast, and I appreciated the big portions after a long day of hiking. Deep fried ice cream wasn't my favorite but maybe it's just not my thing.

We ordered the Nacho Locos & shared them between the 2 of us and they were scrumptious & the perfect portion for both of us. It's been said that seeing the bathroom of a restaurant might be a window into the kitchen cleanliness. The women's restroom was spotless & smelled good! As was the dining area...clean & tidy. The only suggestion I could offer to increase potential traffic is not proper outdoor road signage that we saw. We almost passed it, but gratefully we did find it & loved our dining experience! Don't walk, RUN & try it!! BTW...a couple came in & obviously are weekly regulars & the staff recognized them & asked if they wanted their "regulars." They said as they paid out, "See you next week!"
