Let's be clear, if all you know is Tex-Mex, this taqueria may disappoint. You won't find nachos,…read moreburritos, fajitas here. This is strictly Mexican food. And darn good at that. They start you with these funky fried crisps. No salsa or pico-but on the bright side you don't fill up with chips. Good thing, because the portions are ginormous! It's rare I can't finish a meal, but my shredded beef with mole was more than enough for a takeout box. I ordered the platter, so my meal came with rice and refried beans. We had the leftovers for lunch the following day. My wife ordered two alacart items. Shrimp cerviche and a chicken taco. Both well prepared. And as a side bonus, the tortillas were outstanding. I'm not a fan of corn tortillas, but these home made gems had flavor and didn't fall apart like packaged ones. Same with the crispy corn shells for the tostada. Great crunch and real flavor. Beer was served cold along with a frosted mug and a slice of lime. Everything is made to order. One fella was the chief, cook & bottle washer. And waiter. He speaks English when he sees you struggling with the menu. He made us feel very welcome. This is a down to earth diner that hasn't seen any updating since day one, but the food is excellent, the restrooms are clean and the service was perfectomundo.

OMG, this place is fantastic!…read more I was lucky it wasn't busy when I arrived. I was welcomed in in a family style way. This made it more authentic. I was able to explore the menu but I knew I had walked in for a ceviche. Glad waitress clarified the typo on large shrimp ceviche's price, which immediately translated to honesty. Thei give you a complimentary savory broth with hints of seafood flavor and potatoes which is a welcoming opening. The flavor was excellent the tostadas are like home made non commercial, loved them. Their give you fresh lime or already squeezed natural lime juice. I had a campechano (mixed) taco and a pastor taco. Which they have for .99 on Tuesdays so I will be a regular on Tuesdays too. There is parking on the front and on one of the sides of the place. The team was quick with food, attentive to all needs and very professional and friendly. And the price value is amazing. There are many items I still have to try but it is in my top 3 list for Mexican food in Kentuckiana!

I ordered Mexican rice for three and a half dozen pork tamales to go, and my friends and I were wowed by our dinner!

Would love to try some other things on the menu as well - this place seems like the real deal for authentic Mexican. Was also excited to see that they offer all kinds of fresh juices as well. Highly recommended.

It had been quite a while since our last visit, but we were nearby and decided to stop for lunch…read more La Lupita remains frozen in time, same '60's vibe with laminate tables, wood paneling and paper decorations. But I felt La Lupita had slipped a bit. Initial service was excellent, we were greeted and seated promptly. Drinks were served and our order was taken. But once the food was brought to the table, our server was nowhere to be found. Refill for ice tea? Nope. We ordered one set of corn and one set of flour tortillas and got two orders of corn. It took us quite a while to find the server to get the error corrected. The complementary chips and salsa were way off. The chips were stale and they switched to a green salsa. Admittedly, a personal preference, but I liked the red better. My wife enjoyed her usual- camarones Mexicano. Served sizzling and perfectly done. I don't recall the mixed fajitas (my usual) as being so greasy. Again, served hot. Lots of peppers, onions, & grilled tomatoes. No jalapeños. I could have asked for some as a side and I'm sure they would accommodate. I also found it odd that La Lupita doesn't offer any beans other than refried. We asked for black beans or pinto or borracho. They're not offered. Yet they were able to serve refried black beans instead of the usual borracho or pinto refried version. Prices, inevitably, were up since our last visit. La Lupita is still a favorite for authentic Mexican food. We just caught them on an off day and it was still way ahead of most Mexican restaurants.

So I pulled in this parking lot to turn around and realized it was a Mexican restaurant, which sounded much better than Cracker Barrel anyway. A very nice discovery! The dining room is bright, clean, and cheerfully decorated. It is also much larger inside than it appears from the outside. The menu is much larger than I had expected. So many choices, ranging from authentic options like tongue to vegetarian options. I ordered a cheese enchilada dinner with sides of guacamole and bean dip. I loved the guacamole, it had a good texture and was a little spicy, definitely some jalapeño. Beans and rice were excellent. The rice had good flavor. My enchiladas were tasty. Servings are very generous. Prices are reasonable. I'll be happy to stop here for lunch or dinner when I am traveling between Indianapolis and Louisville

New to the menu are the tres leches pancakes, topped with fresh fruit and whipped cream. You get three pancakes. They were fluffy and the fruit was delicious. The cinnamon coffee was nice! It was overly sweet and I was excited to have a carafe to enjoy and refill my mug. The Concha Rellena wasn't my favorite. The pastry is thick and dry and a bit overpowering with Nutella. My son's club sandwich looked good, especially the thick bacon. It came with a side of potatoes. My husband ordered the chilaquiles mananero. Overall, a savory dish, but liking the chorizo is key because it's a major part of the dish. For me, it's overpowering which eliminates half of the menu for me. The restaurant offers quite a bit of seating. Our server was friendly and attentive. The private parking lot had plenty of spaces.

We were in New Albany, IN, just over the bridge from Louisville Ky for business. After searching…read moreYelp, we decided to try Agave & Rye Tequila and Bourbon Hall. The decor was fun with painted murals and designs covering every surface. I especially liked all the "climbing men" stationed around at various places. Agave & Rye Tequila and Bourbon Hall is mainly a taco place with a few other menu items. The tacos are not your usual run of the mil tacos and there are many delicious variations to choose from. Being a non-drinker, I can't give you any info on the alcohol, but they seem to be pretty proud of it. We did happy hour, 5$ mocktails, Pick 3 Chips and Dips, 15$, and the Three Taco Flight, 12$. It was plenty of food for the two of us and Eveything was delicious. We left just enough room for the huge piece of Chocolate Cake, $14. We ate the bottom two tiers and took the rest home. Yum. Kyondre (Dre) was our server. What a delightful young man. He was very helpful and pleasant, while checking in on us frequently. IMHO, Agave & Rye is well worth a visit.

Overall this place is good for different types of tacos…read more Fresh made chips - lightly salted and have a good crunch. Roja salsa has a little spicy kick and tang from the tomato chunks. The pick your 3 mini tacos is a good experiment with the different flavor options. Yoda taco- play on kung pao chicken- has the heat from the sauce, while the egg fried rice holds it together with the crunch of the peanuts. For a plain chicken taco - I would suggest the Chipotle Chika - honey comes thru with the chicken while the queso brings the rich and creamy flavors Service is lacking a bit- and hard to get refills on drinks. Overall a solid 3/5 for a small local restaurant.
