Good things come in small packages, especially at Tacos El Paisa in downtown Richmond. If you want…read moreauthentic fare, this is the place! The location is tiny, but the food is mighty! The interior is clean and minimal but they squeeze in a full bar and a replica of their first food truck where it all began. They have a few dishes that sell out on the daily. Everything is made fresh to order. They have a salsa bar to accompany your food orders. This establishment is run by folk who love what they are doing and it shows. Also, the price points are awesome, well below any other Mexican restaurant, along with better tasting food. It's a win-win. Service was SUPER fast but they weren't very busy while we were there. It's not a fancy date night place but it's a delicious date night place! Extra points for an extremely clean bathroom.

We stopped in here for the first time Saturday evening. It's very cool inside. Several murals and…read moreneon signs, plenty of TV's and nice bar area. They bring out chips to your table and you choose your own toppings/sauces from the Salsa Bar. I had the Birria Especial and it was delicious. Probably the best I have had in our area. My wife had two Beef Enchiladas. Our daughter had the Arroz Con Pollo and her friend had two Beef Tacos. The service was very slow the entire time we were there. It was not that crowded when we were there so we couldn't figure out if our server was really slow or the kitchen was backed up. We will give it another try but they do need to work on their service times.

I met a friend at Casa Amigos for lunch. Before going, I checked with a few friends who live in…read moreBerea and they said that it was their favorite Mexican restaurant in Berea. I arrived at 11:30 (they open at 11:00) and the restaurant was already busy. As with most Mexican restaurants, the lunch started off with complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were a little disappointing and stale. I was expecting fresh chips (since it was 30 minutes after opening), and I believe that they were left over from the previous evening. The salsa was very good and flavorful. I had the Pollo Casa Amigos ($12.99) from the lunch menu (grilled chicken and California vegetables on a bed of rice with cheese sauce). There was a very generous amount of chicken. The meal was very good. Full of flavor. Vegetables were cooked perfectly. I also ordered a side of fresh jalapeño peppers (fried). The fried fresh jalapeños were very good. As with all jalapeños, some are hot, some are not (which the restaurant has no control over). These were not as hot as I hoped, but again, this is not the fault of the restaurant, just an observation. Whenever I am in the Berea area and wanting Mexican food, I would definitely eat here again, but it's your typical Mexican restaurant. The only reason for the 4 star rating is due to the chips being stale. Other than that, definitely worth a stop!

An adequate, but not exceptional, local Mexican place…read more It's a small-town Mexican place, so you're probably familiar with the style of place. I remember when, 30+ years ago, this building was a Lee's Famous Recipe chicken joint (before they moved across town to be next to McDonalds). The menu is rather minimalist. The food I had was okay, but not particularly remarkable. The menu definitely stayed to the most well-known of Mexican dishes, you aren't going to find anything unusual, uncommon, or particularly daring here. Service was okay, but not exceptional. Here's the table, here's the food. It didn't really stand out. Lincoln County is a wet county, but they didn't serve alcohol. It's the first Mexican place I've been at in a very long time where you couldn't get a Margarita. If it was a dry county, I'd understand. . .but without that, it's a conspicuous absence.

Este es un restaurante increíble! My wife and I visited for the first time on a fairly busy…read moreSaturday night in May. Town was busy. This little gem is situated in the quaint, charming Civil War historical town of Perryville, Kentucky. It is literally just a few miles from the nation's most historically authentic, Civil War battlefield. There is on street parking as well as a small parking lot to the left of the entrance. Upon coming in the front door you are greeted by old fashioned, hardwood floors and a simple, yet amply stocked bar. You might even find yourself daydreaming about an old Civil War general sitting at the bar smoking a cigar and drinking a glass of bourbon. We were taken around the bar by the hostess and seated in the main dining room. The dining room is spacious and seating is comfortably situated. We chose a booth. I am a fairly portly individual and while I like the privacy of a booth, my belly is usually squeezed against the table for the duration of the meal. Such was not the case here. The booths are amply spaced for guys my size. Almost immediately, we were greeted by a genuine Latino waitress sporting a gentle smile. She got our drinks and brought us a basket of warm corn chips and salsa. The salsa had a mild bite and an excellent flavor profile. The first thing that genuinely grabbed my attention was the seven page menu on the table before me. Seven, I said that. The menu is rife with genuine and typical Latino entrees. This establishment also has an extensive pizza menu. I decided to try the pizza, while my wife decided to try a fajita entree. I ordered a three topping medium pizza. It arrived with liberal helpings of pepperoni, sausage and mushrooms, all enrobed in ooey gooey melted cheese. It was a good pizza. I suspect it may have been cooked in a wood fired oven. It had a subtle hint of mild smoke flavoring. It may have been the sausage too. My wife ordered a chicken fajita. It arrived sizzling as is customary with such a dish. It was served with the customary plate of beans and rice. We held the sour cream as my wife has a dairy allergy. She is also gluten intolerant and the waitress made sure that her fajita would be served with corn tortillas, not flour ones. The food was delicious. It was flavorful, served hot and pleasing to the palate. We did not order drinks, but while we sat there, margaritas in goblets the size of small goldfish bowls crisscrossed the dining room. They genuinely looked amazing. After finishing our main course, I observed a plate of decadent something cross the dining room. I stopped the waiter carrying it and asked about it. He told me it was churros and offered to get me some. I was already quite full, but looking across the dining room at that creation now perched on the other table, I had to have one myself. Four perfectly cooked churros, still warm, arrived at the table. Ice cream enthroned them with generous helpings of whipped cream. All drizzled with chocolate syrup. I said a quick prayer that today was not my day to contract diabetes and promptly downed that pile of decadent calories. It was delicious. The dining room itself is nicely decorated in geographically authentic decoration. It was not too hot, nor too cold. The dining room is ADA compliant. I did not need a restroom, so I did forget to check them on the way out. My only complaint, and it is a mild one, was how noisy the dining room got at one point. Being an old brick building, there is a bit of a din when everyone gets talking. Other than that, the dining experience was pleasant. The true "shock value" of the evening came when the receipt landed on my table. We enjoyed that entire meal for $38. The price point on their food is amazing! This is 2026. You'll spend more for the gas to get here than you will crowding your digestive track with these epic offerings! I was impressed to say the least. I checked the receipt and it all appeared to be there. We left as the dinner rush wound down. When we left some old codgers had bellied up to the bar and were engaged in conversation. You feel like you could get to know this town talking to them fellas. This establishment gets a five star review from me. The best part is that it is only nine miles from my home in the Kentucky countryside.

We ordered guacamole appetizer never got it . Salsa is very bland. Just tasted like purée. Tomato sauce. Chips were cold and unsalted waters were crisp and refreshing. Never had them served in plastic cups before ordered the special dinner reasonably prize for the quality of food not something you'd write home about but good for the price. The Liberty burrito was a big letdown very very small had a whole head of lettuce on top it seemed with no filling. The flying was amazing so was the fried ice cream overall would come back to the establishment for some cheap Mexican food, but would not come here for quality food.
