The last time I was here was 10 years ago and I am sorry to say that was a huge mistake on my part. Looks like I missed out on ten years of incredible food! We ordered the DATILES RELLENOS (Roasted stuffed dates with Capriole goat cheese wrapped in apple wood bacon topped with smoked honey and piquillo sauce.) Honestly I preferred them without the sauce, they were that good on their own! Beef Empanadas, were very rich and filling. CROQUETAS DE JAMON Ham croquettes served with a Chipotle Aioli sauce for dipping. Again, I thought the sauce was unnecessary but to each their own! Italian Flatbread (grilled chicken, basil, tomato, mozzarella, pesto and garlic infused olive oil). By the time this arrived I was groaning from too much food so I only had a bite. But I can confirm it was just as good the next day as it was when I ordered it. Definitely need to come back again - sooner than 2036! read more

Once again, I had the pleasure of eating at Mojito's. This is a go to for me. Always amazing. I ordered the Pear Salad and some seafood croquettes. Yum! My friend ordered the Empanadas and a Cuban sandwich. I didn't get a picture of the Cuban sandwich but it looked amazing. She said both were great. Our server did an excellent job checking on us regularly but not too much. She kept our water filled when she noticed they were getting empty. The environment is cozy, with festive lights on the window between the main room and the closed in patio. There is always a buzz in the restaurant and if you live in the area, you will likely see someone you know here. read more

I haven't been here in a while. we went on mother's day. we got the pollo tostones which are always good. the calamari was really good with fried olives. I got a Pina colada. it was ok but not too strong. my wife got a mojito and she loved it. my wife ordered the vaca frita which she really enjoyed. I ordered the seafood stew which came with shrimp, calamari, whitefish but substituted for extra shrimp because I don't eat swai. swai is cheap, tasteless, Vietnamese catfish. that came with totones, rice and beans. my son ordered the minature paella. he really liked it. they gave my son a complimentary dessert for his birthday. everything was wonderful!!!! we also got the empanadas and they're always good. read more

Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend coming hungry to try as much as you can. Started with the Guacamole with plantains, moved to empanadas, one chicken one beef. Next was dinner - Short Ribs, Ropa Vieja de Pollo, and tacos - one steak, one chicken. The guac was extremely fresh and outstanding, best I've had in a while. The empanadas are a staple and a must try, delicious. Short Ribs were tender and come with a side of mash potatoes, very good. My Ropa Vieja de Pollo was outstanding and the side of two tacos was on point. The steak taco was better than the chicken, would recommend getting the steak. It was so good I only remembered to take photo of the Short Ribs and Ropa Vieja. You have to check this place out if you are in town or just a regular Louisvillian. Service was great and the restaurant vibe was just what we needed. read more

Mojito Tapas Restaurant - Tabla De Chimichurri - Tapas Bars Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

This is my absolute favorite restaurant in the city. I've been so many times as you can tell from all my photos. The restaurant is pretty small, but they have lots of tables and can usually get you in pretty quickly. Their mojitos are delish, but my favorite drink of theirs is the Cuba Colada. It's the best pina colada I've ever had. You must try it! When people ask them what my favorite dish is in the city, I tell them about table de chimichurri! The steak is always cooked perfectly. The chimichurri has so much flavor, paired with the crunchy potato strips and creamy mashed potatoes--it's one of the best meals you will ever eat. Some other dishes I love: stuffed dates, all sandwiches, manchego, guacamole, queso, sweet potato fries, gratinado de setas. I've never had a bad meal here and everything is reasonably priced. read more

I think I have to describe the food as heavenly. Everything is very flavorful and I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. Our group shared the hummus appetizer and they even offered to bring us extra pita. For dinner I had the short rib flatbread and it was pretty much perfection. Our waiter was quick and helpful. It was storming and we lost power a few minutes but even that didn't seem to slow them down. Great experience. read more

I have been wanting to try Mojito Tapas for some time. It always seemed I/we were headed someplace else as we drove by. So, this Saturday afternoon, I wanted something different. I have my go tos but had a desire to eat at a restaurant that I have never been to before.... Then Mojito Tapas popped up in my Yelp search... I texted my wife and told her to meet me there.... After waiting for her to finish her errands, I met her at 12:30. We walked in, loved the décor, we were seated quickly and we perused the menu... I settled on a Tropical Mojito with coconut, and my wife ordered an Original Cuban Mojito. Both drinks were very favorable and if it had not been lunch, I would have ordered another. For our entrees, my wife ordered the Cubano and I followed up with a Havana Rumba. With both had Congri Rice as our side. Both sandwiches had great taste, except for one thing. My wife and I agreed that they needed more mustard. Not a big deal, just a personal preference. We had a great server, but again, my wife and I felt that they were understaffed. Our server seemed to be covering the entire restaurant as well as making drinks in the bar. They had one young man running out orders, but we did not see any additional servers. Since the young lady was running around trying to take care of all the customers, we did not ask for more mustard. With the size of the sandwiches, neither one of us could finish the whole thing, so we took our leftovers home. Monday for lunch, I fixed myself some black beans and rice, added some mustard to my sandwich and it was perfect. We will be back for sure. read more

What a WONDERFUL find! The service was awesome! The food was Amazing! I had the chorizo cheese dip which was the best I've had and I' e eaten a lot of queso! Divine! Had both the chicken and beef empanadas which were delicious AND the ham croquettes- yummy! My mom had the Cuban and couldn't eat it all but she loved what she ate- Inside was very clean and nice- and I had a great tequila sunrise-I will be back! Thank you! read more

We were trying to decide on where to go that we hadn't been to in a while, and Mojitos was our choice. Im not sure why we waited so long and I definitely won't let that happen again! My tenderloin skewers and mashed potatoes were so so delicious and the strawberry mojito hit the spot. Our server was friendly and quick. We walked in and got seated at the last available table, so if you go on a Saturday evening you should probably make a reservation. We were seated on the front patio, other than the door opening and closing it wasn't too chilly. read more

This place is a fun treat, they didn't offer the great happy hour deals like their sister stores but has a great menu twinning their sister locations. My go to order is their queso, but the tip is to get it with banana chips. I tried their steak n chips for the first time, it was quite good but after queso and Margs I couldn't finish my meal. I'll plan better next time but all the food was great. read more

Forever a great scene with each visit! Service was polite and friendly, even when there is a wait for tables. We were escorted to the bar and had a classic mojito served to us. After being seated shortly after, we ordered the guacamole with banana chips and chicken empanadas as an appetizer. For dinner we shared the short ribs, pollo skewers, salsa, stuffed dates, steak and chimichurri order. Great ambience for solo dining, dates and family gatherings. read more

My boyfriend and I wanted a nice dinner but we weren't too hungry. This place had excellent reviews and had tapas-style dishes so it was perfect. He started out with a mojito. It was really yummy, and we both liked chewing on the sugar cane garnish in it. For our food we got the zarzuela de mariscos and the tabla de chimichurri. These were both good. My boyfriend noted some inconsistency with the quality in the clams and mussels for the zarzuela de mariscos, but everything I tried in it I enjoyed. I wish we would've come more hungry, I wanted to try more things on the menu. Overall it was a really good experience. I want to work my way through the menu next time, and I'd like to sit at their patio outside. I would definitely recommend! read more

Really liked it chicken marsala w/ the mashed potatoes were great I'd order it again.

I have been to this restaurant more times than I can count, and I realized I never left a review. This is probably one of my favorite places to eat in the world. You quite literally cannot go wrong with ANYTHING on their menu. Such a fun place to go and share some food with anyone! Some of my favorites include: their guacamole with plantain chips (seriously the best guacamole in the world), the chicken empanadas, the tostones con pollo, the tenderloin skewers, the gambas al ajillo, and the trio de chocolate dessert. Every time we have gone we have been blown away by flavor and high quality service. Everyone in Louisville should give this place a try. read more

We always take a large party to this restaurant when we are in town once a year. Although they don't take reservations, they are always great about getting us into a table that can accommodate our size. (For reference, we typically bring 10 to 13 people.) The mojitos are excellent, they even include real sugar cane! This time, I ordered a Cuban sandwich and sa a present salad. The salad was beautiful, and just the right size for my appetite. The Cuban sandwich was massive! I was only able to eat half. I didn't eat the fries, but I certainly could have had a smaller entree and probably will choose to try something different next time. read more

Best Cuban in Louisville. Best staff in Louisville. I usually order a cup of delicious Asopado (rice soup with chorizo, chicken and shrimp). They have a lunch pork that you can order for dinner - Masas de puerco (oil fried pork with pickled onion) and substitute the plantains for their amazing house salad which includes pine nuts, figs, cherry tomato and a thick balsamic dressing. Best Cuban pork in town. Way better than La Bodeguita (NuLu) **The lunch fish is delicious. The dry mojito is low cal and refreshing. I love this place. Some other favorites - Mussels, Fried potatoes in spicy red sauce, chicken marsala. Guacamole with fried plantain chips. If you like dessert like my daughter does, order the combination and share! See Mario at the bar! He will take care of you. read more

Came in on a Tuesday night and was seated right away. The server was very nice and she was patient with me as I decided what to order. There was a couple of times where she didn't come check on me and I had to flag another server but that was alright as the food was delicious. I ordered: Rice soup Empanadas, 1 beef and 1 chicken Bacon wrapped dates Cortadito (espresso with steamed milk) I loved my espresso. Great small little cup of coffee. Rice soup was more like a porridge. Filled with a lot of rice, pieces of chicken and chorizo. Very flavorful. It came hot and fresh. Empanadas were so delicious, especially the chicken one! I was full by the time I got to the dates. Dates: they were only okay for me. They cooked it well and has this creamy cheese but it was just too much for my taste. Nothing against how they cook it. Next time I come I'll try other tapas Overall delicious food. read more

Delicious every time and this time wasn't any different. The paella was delicious, we got the seafood and the Valencia. If I had to pick one I would choose the Valencia because it was more diverse and had chorizo, chorizo is never a bad pick. We also ordered the bacon wrapped stuffed dates which is almost like a desert if you use the honey sauce that comes with it. There's also a spicy red sauce included which is the one I prefer. Really the only thing that prevented a 5 star review is that, like everything else, they've cut down on the portions but increased the price. It was over $113 and the paella trays weren't full, as the used to be. Also, the dates used to come four to an order and now there's only three. Like I said delicious and definitely worth a trip every once in a while. read more

I love this place! The food is just soooo good. Flavor, flavor flavor. My favorite is the lamb chops, you can get a lovely plate for an inexpensive price. $11? Best deal in town! The tenderloin also deserves a special mention, it comes on a skewer and it's a lot of food on top of mashed potatoes... So delicious. I also like the bacon wrapped dates for an appetizer. They're sweet and savory with a little bit of a hot sauce and honey. Wow! They also have a hearty soup here that is amazing with shrimp, rice, chorizo and chicken. It's sort of like Paella in a bowl. Sometimes I get some just to take home. I highly recommend coming here, it is one of my favorite places in Louisville. I'm always looking for a bargain and good food-- this place really fits the bill. I must also mention the service, the staff is very friendly and on top of things. Stellar hospitality. Enjoy! read more
