vegetable fajitas vegan style

I don't normally write reviews but I have hardly ever enjoyed a restaurant as much as I enjoy Garcia's! My partner and I go to school in Campbellsville; neither of us eat meat and I myself am fully vegan. We share an order of vegetable fajitas with cream and cheese removed-- this portion is large enough for two! Service is exceptionally quick and we usually get our meal within ten minutes no matter how busy. We like to take our meat-eating friends and family here too and they enjoy their meals as well. ps. They have a house made spicy salsa that is great if you love spice!

Combo fajitas. Beef was kind of a mystery. Way to thin and tough. Not like any beef I have ever had. Everything else was pretty good.

We were given a very limited menu. The people across from us has the full menu. We order the combo fajitas because that was about the best thing on the menu we had to work with . I normally would have ordered Chile Verde or carnitas. portions not huge but ok. The beef ? Was so thin I thought they used Arby's leftovers. It was tough as well . The chicken was good until it cooled off . I loved the rice and beans and salsas . We have been there once before and we're not thrilled . The place we usually go was closed. It filled a hole and somewhat satisfied the Mexican food craving

Paper thin steak fajitas

This place has always been my favorite Mexican style restaurant, the best chips and salsa, and absolutely delicious grilled steak fajitas, with friendly service. But this has changed now. As you walk in they hand you a large menu and you stand there while they wait to place your order at the counter, which is awkward, then you're given a number to sit on your table They have runners who come over with chips and salsa, and then eventually bring your food, they didn't converse with us. The drinks are a self-serve station, plus that includes your own refills too. The steak in my fajita was cut paper thin and chewy. They've lost the friendly atmosphere, and sit down experience. Not sure wil be back.

Not great, honestly. I've had better, but at the same time I've had worse, if you're feeling roguish go for it

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.

Woah! Pleasant surprise: There are four Mexican…read morerestaurants in Lebanon. This is the one to choose! Delicious food and great prices! I filled up on $6 enchiladas and a yummy frozen margarita! Ask for the salsa Verde! A little extra flavor and heat! Waiter was super friendly and easy on the eyes. (If you're a tourist on the bourbon trail, make your reservation for the 1-hr tour - or at least pop into the welcome center - at the ISC Kentucky Cooperage in the same strip mall! They make all of the barrels for 90% of Kentucky's bourbon! Huge, impressive operation!)

We did not find many restaurants open in Lebanon on a Sunday night. That was okay as La Villa Rica…read moreturned out to be a good place to grab a meal. Located in a strip mall, it isn't much to look at on the outside. The inside isn't too different; however, we went there to eat, not to critique architecture. We had great service throughout our visit. The complimentary chips and salsa were refilled several times for our party. After we received our orders, the staff was good about checking to see if we needed anything else. Personally, I had the Chili Colorado meal. Of our party of six, I was the only one not entirely satisfied with my order. The beef was cut very thin, was overcooked and the sauce had been poured on the top of the overcooked meat. It didn't taste bad; it was just poorly prepared. Looking at the plates my dining partners had (pork verde, smothered chicken, fajitas) made me wish for a redo on my order. The prices for the meals and drinks were reasonable. Based on how packed it was, many locals obviously enjoy it (another local Mexican restaurant was open but empty). If I were to return to the area, I'd probably give it another shot.
