There are two entrances one in the front and the rear entrance where there is an outdoor eating patio area. Way too cold for that. Neat historical building. Seated immediately as they do a great job of getting you in and out. This is a local hangout and just a great place downtown to have a business lunch. Felt like trying something new and this had the "new" label on it. It was enormous. Way more than I could handle. Contains shrimp, scallops, chicken and chopped steak. The cactus leaves were delicious. It was delicious but more of a two serving dish. Good date night meal. The chips were crispy and the salsa is also great. The sweet tea was also amazing.

The music was so loud I could not have a conversation with my partner. To make matters worse, there was a small vacuum being used. They had only been open for 40 minutes! Could the cleaning have been done BEFORE you opened as not to disturb your guests? Please as managers, sit at a booth with this going on and see if you need to adjust the music and stop vacuuming during open hours. Get a broom. Too much. I do enjoy this restaurant and really look forward to going each time. Not anymore.

I said look for the place with a lot of ladder trucks parked out front at lunch time. If you go into a Mexican place a see a bunch of people that look like me you are in the wrong place. Unless you actually see me. This place has great chorizo. Tacos come with cucumber slices and the salsas are excellent. The green is a jalapeño emulsion with a bit of heat. The red is a smoky dried chili salsa. They have changed the chip salsa to a tomato based salsa. It is delicious. I had a pastor sope. It was awesome. Beans, cheese, lettuce, onions, tomato and crema. The pastor was really good. Spicy and a little sweet. They were loading up the smoker for dinner while I was there. This place is definitely a great spot if you happen to be in Shelbyville.

It was one of the main reasons I came here. The chorizo needs to be cooked harder. I like it more when it's cooked crispy. I like the little charred bits. Same with the pork. It needs color. Brown food tastes good. Grey food not as much. The salsas are good. The hot is a salsa verde and it has a little heat. The fire is a red salsa and it's no joke. Seriously hot. If someone wanted to go here I wouldn't complain. If you asked me though I'd pick El Molcajete or La Fogata.

Best chicken I've ever tasted, not to sound dramatic! I suggest trying those and the Marimba Steak Fries. Their margaritas are also amazing. I find the Texas Margarita to be the most refreshing and tasty, so definitely give that one a try. Their prices also aren't insane like all the other restaurants around which is a HUGE plus. Now for the service; these people treat you like FAMILY if you treat them respectfully. They will learn your name and your order in a very short amount of time. I go there often and am always greeted with warm smiles and even a few hugs. It feels so safe there and the ambiance is fun and peaceful. Oh, they also have the best outdoor patio around these parts. It's huge, welcoming, and amazing to sit out there and get some sun on nice days. You definitely won't be disappointed going here, enjoy!

On this day, I was lured by the prospect of some Tacos al Pastor. I was not disappointed. They provide three large tacos with generous fillings. They also gave me a very good tomatillo salsa to top them with. With good rice and frijoles this was way, way more than I needed for lunch. I consider it a bargain when I get two very nice meals out of one platter. I asked for and received well flavored corn tortillas. Ms T broke form and ordered a taco salad. She also liked it very much and since it was also very generous, she had two more meals later. I have to say, looking forward to stopping at some of these places on a "regular" basis when we drive through the area, makes the 1,000-mile trip a little easier. El Nopan in Shelbyville remains on our regular list.

It hurts to hit the three star review but our most recent visit was very sub par…read more We came hungry and ready to unwind with a margarita, it was the cinco de mayo holiday and we wondered if there were any specials. We were told no, but there was a sign on the door showing free queso for the day of May 5. So we ordered two margaritas at $10 a piece, asked about the free queso and was then told oh yes it is free, and then ordered tacos to share. The margarita was served in a hot (fresh out of the dishwasher) glass, the rim was not salted and with five melting ice cubes. The mix concentrated at the bottom and the tequila added on top. It was not a good margarita, and my husband's was the same. The queso came out and it was like warm and still cold around the edges but hot in the core. The tacos were delicious. So it was a conflicting visit, as we were given the check I noted it charged for the queso. As I went to pay I noted the queso price and inquired about it being free for the day. He said oh yes if you mentioned it, then it gets taken off. That didn't sit with me well, because not everyone may question it. All in all we have come here a lot over the years and had some great times but maybe this is not the best place for the cinco de mayo holiday. It may be awhile before we are back again.

Do your best to avoid Chamoy Ricos in Shelbyville. The photos speak for themselves but I'll elaborate. The first photo was my order... the second was what I actually got. I did professionally reach out prior to this review and was told basically she found no error. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed with the cake I picked up on 11/01/25, as it fell far below my expectations. When I placed the order, I confirmed the pickup time would be 11:00 a.m., which was agreed to. An hour before pickup, owner reached out asking to change the time to 11:30 a.m. -- which I completely understood. I even assured her that I could come at 12:00 p.m. instead to give extra time. I am a mom of 3 (15, 5, 1), I completely get it! I arrived at 12:05 after a 45-minute drive, but the cake still wasn't ready. When I arrived, she mentioned that it wasn't finished because of a "rush" at opening -- but there was no one there at the time, and I wasn't sure why the cake hadn't been prepped prior to opening, especially since it was a scheduled order. She kindly offered my two girls (ages 1 and 5) cake pops while we waited, but by the time the cake was finished -- nearly 12:55 p.m. -- they were restless and not feeling well, so we quickly left once it was handed over and didnt take a super good look as I was trying to prevent her helper from destroying the cake trying to box it. What made the delay even more frustrating was that she downplayed the situation by mentioning that my daughter's party wasn't until the next day, which made it feel like my time -- and the importance of her event -- weren't valued. Regardless of when the party was, the agreed-upon pickup time was important and should have been honored, especially considering the long drive and the effort it took to accommodate the schedule changes due her lack of accountability. When I got home about 45 minutes later, I placed the cake in the refrigerator and only took it out the next morning for the party. That's when I noticed it was extremely lopsided, the image was not what I had ordered, and the color was completely different from the example I provided. Mind you SHE sent me the orignal design as one she had done before. I've attached photos showing both the cake I received and the cake design that was requested, so you can clearly see the difference. Initially my quote was $100. I told her i did not need a large cake with fruit or fillings and she changed the price to $50 for a smaller nonfilled cake. Despite being clear that I wanted plain cake with no fillings, the cake was filled with hard sprinkles. Some were large and unchewable, which became a choking hazard for my children and guests at the party. The birthday girl already struggles with certain textures. Even worse than that, there were several red smoothie type straws stuck inside the cake at random spots -- not only unexpected, but they made the cake impossible to cut properly. When I tried to remove them, the cake collapsed and fell apart, making it unservable. The icing was uneven -- almost an inch thick on one side and thin on the other -- and the image decorations were lifting off. They were supposed to be edible but didn't dissolve. The color was supposed to be pale pink but was instead coral. Overall, it looked rushed and unfinished. My daughter didn't even get to enjoy her own birthday cake, which was heartbreaking after how much excitement she had for it. For a $50 order, this was a huge disappointment. I'm normally a big supporter of small businesses, but this experience reflected poor communication, lack of accountability, and a product that simply wasn't what was promised. It felt like the order was rushed together last minute instead of completed with care. I attempted to resolve with owner respectfully but instead she blocked me mid conversation, so here we go. Is it me? Am I the problem? Please share. #chamoyricos #labubu #cake #5yearoldbirthday
