Veggie "fajitas"
Audrey D.

I had heard good things about this restaurant, but what I'd heard didn't match my experience. I always order fajitas; I ordered veggie and my companion ordered chicken & steak. What I got was grilled veggies. There was no fajita spices/flavoring. That was again true for my companion; she got grilled meat, not fajitas. Additionally, her steak was sooooo thin it was like deli meat thickness. Pathetic! Service was also subpar. They were busy, but I'm taking that into consideration. My companion ordered a margarita but was never asked if she wanted another (money lost!). I had to catch someone walking by to get a refill on my water. We wanted an extra dish of salsa, and I think part of the difficulty in getting it was a language barrier with one of the runners, it definitely wasn't with our server. There salsa was really good. I enjoyed it, but it still wasn't enough to make up for everything else. Definitely would not recommend.

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

This is by far my family's favorite Mexican restaurant. We come here everytime we visit Cave City…read more The food is just amazing. I ordered the Joel special which was amazing. I haven't tasted any dish like this before. It had a nice spice to it and pineapples! I love pineapples in dishes. My daughter got the Carne Asada wish she enjoyed but thought it could have been seasoned a bit more. My husband ordered the Burritos Mexicana which he enjoyed but wish it came with rice and beans because they have very delicious rice and beans. We highly recommend the chorizo queso - a great dip with their yummy chips. It was a lovely night so we were able to sit outside on the patio. Our waitress was very attentive as our drinks were always filled. Other servers also came by to make sure we were doing well! I really appreciated the great service. I highly recommend this restaurant for great food and service!

Our server was friendly and attentive, keeping our drinks refilled and checking on us at the perfect times. Everything we ordered was delicious -- the chips and salsa were fresh and addictive, the enchiladas had just the right amount of spice and cheese, and the fajitas were sizzling hot with perfectly seasoned meat and veggies. The margaritas were strong and flavorful too. Overall, the food quality and portions were excellent, and we left feeling very satisfied. My only tiny complaint is that I wish there was a bit more guacamole with our order -- it was so good that we could have easily eaten double the amount! Definitely recommend El Mazatlan if you're in the Cave City area. We'll be back soon!

They make all of the barrels for 90% of Kentucky's bourbon! Huge, impressive operation!)

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.
