It's not horrible, but its not great either…read more We came in and were initially excited to see a band setting up. Ooh will it be a mariachi band? Mexican folk songs? Nope. It was a group of elders who sang 1960's songs like Roy Orbison and Herman's Hermits. Sadly, they were also...not great. But there were tables full of white people of the same age group who went wild for it, so I guess thats on me. It reminded me of a celebration in a senior living facility but maybe this restaurant has tapped into a secret money making trick? White people rejoice! Anyway, we started off with the Chorizo Queso Fundido appetizer. It came bubbling on a cast iron plate but was so hot the cheese solidified to the pan and really all you could scoop up was the meat. Which is fine but not a cheese dip? My entree was the Chile Colorado (Grilled steak strips on hot salsa. Served with rice, beans and 3 tortillas.). Steak was tough and had a lot of gristle. Sauce was OK, but not spicy (although maybe it is for this area, idk) Honestly the beans and rice were the best part and when have you EVER said that about a dish from a Mexican restaurant? My friend got a steak burrito which he said was very lettuce heavy and not large at all. Service was OK for the amount of people inside and time of day. I dont know if I would come back, maybe if I have to host meemaw's 80th birthday?

I started off with tacos, and I got one of each: lengua, asada, and carnitas. The carnitas was the best, the lengua was the worst. I dont think it was bad, but it was very sharp tasting and unlike any lengua I have had before. That one was left after two bites. Instead of chips and salsa, they brought chips and bean dip, which was OK, I didnt know they were bringing that otherwise we wouldnt have ordered the chorizo dip. The chorizo was barely noticeable but the cheese was decent. They were very nice but the food was very middle of the road which was sad because I would love to see this place succeed especially now that Renshouko is gone.

They start you with these funky fried crisps. No salsa or pico-but on the bright side you don't fill up with chips. Good thing, because the portions are ginormous! It's rare I can't finish a meal, but my shredded beef with mole was more than enough for a takeout box. I ordered the platter, so my meal came with rice and refried beans. We had the leftovers for lunch the following day. My wife ordered two alacart items. Shrimp cerviche and a chicken taco. Both well prepared. And as a side bonus, the tortillas were outstanding. I'm not a fan of corn tortillas, but these home made gems had flavor and didn't fall apart like packaged ones. Same with the crispy corn shells for the tostada. Great crunch and real flavor. Beer was served cold along with a frosted mug and a slice of lime. Everything is made to order. One fella was the chief, cook & bottle washer. And waiter. He speaks English when he sees you struggling with the menu. He made us feel very welcome. This is a down to earth diner that hasn't seen any updating since day one, but the food is excellent, the restrooms are clean and the service was perfectomundo.

OMG, this place is fantastic!…read more I was lucky it wasn't busy when I arrived. I was welcomed in in a family style way. This made it more authentic. I was able to explore the menu but I knew I had walked in for a ceviche. Glad waitress clarified the typo on large shrimp ceviche's price, which immediately translated to honesty. Thei give you a complimentary savory broth with hints of seafood flavor and potatoes which is a welcoming opening. The flavor was excellent the tostadas are like home made non commercial, loved them. Their give you fresh lime or already squeezed natural lime juice. I had a campechano (mixed) taco and a pastor taco. Which they have for .99 on Tuesdays so I will be a regular on Tuesdays too. There is parking on the front and on one of the sides of the place. The team was quick with food, attentive to all needs and very professional and friendly. And the price value is amazing. There are many items I still have to try but it is in my top 3 list for Mexican food in Kentuckiana!

This eatery/store is located a short distance from Kentucky Artisan Distillery, and we stopped in after a morning tasting. It seems to be a typical taqueria - counter ordering/fast casual.

Hubs and I each had 2 tacos and they were plenty filling. I LOVED the carne asada with fresh cilantro, diced onion and a squeeze of lime. They had a ton of super tasty meat.

The chimichanga was covered in 2 "sauces" that were the consistency of water so the whole thing was soggy like a wet burrito. No crunch anywhere. The cheese enchiladas were inedible. Into the garbage. The sauce on top was so salty and the cheese inside was so rich and oddly textured. It tasted like eating a big bite of cream cheese. I've never tasted cheese enchiladas like that. And, of course, they were cool to the touch. No idea what happened here but I won't be back. Also, no chips and salsa with to-go orders apparently.

She was really fantastic! She took care of our group getting orders and drinks. We chatted and ate chips and kept an eye on the World Cup activity on the huge TV screens scattered about. Soon the food was coming and the delicious platters of food were being passed out. Let me tell you that they have HUGE BURRITOS! It was as "Big as my head!" My Especial Burrito was filled with Grilled Chicken, beans and covered with creamy cheese dip. I customized my burrito, no rice, onions or lettuce. I ate about half of it and saved the other half for a small lunch for the two of us. My husband ordered The Deluxe Burritos. It had two burritos, one was Grilled Chicken and the other one was Ground Beef. The sauce over the top of the burritos was beautiful! It was almost more than he could eat! But he did. He loved it! The lady across the table had a Grilled Chicken Chimichanga platter. When her plate came to her, she said, "Oh that's a lot of food!" We all really enjoyed our meals.
