Chips and Queso
Katie B.

Went on a Saturday night and not too crowded. Plenty of parking. Ordered at the counter. We got the 2 for $22 entrees on a Saturday deal which is select entrees with an app (chips and salsa or queso) and 2 fountain drinks. Cost extra for add ons or variations. Queso was decent. The entrees we ordered= steak burrito and tacos were bland and simple. Not much flavor to them with their toppings (lettuce, chips, pico de gallo, & sour cream). Even tried several of the buffet style sauces you can get and they didn't add to the burrito or tacos.

Hot Sauce Bar
Sydney B.

I'm so freaking happy Tijuana Flatts is in Kentucky. I had it for the first time in Florida years ago and became hooked. What makes Tijuana Flatts special is the hot sauce bar which comes with 12 different type of sauces to try. They all have different spice levels so there is something for everyone. The food is fantastic. I went with the Flautas with beef and cheese and my husband had the quesadilla. Both of us enjoyed our food. The portion sizes are massive so come hungry. Tijuana Flatts has the best queso hands down. I can eat it with everything. The prices are fair for how much food you get. Both of our means we're around 12 dollars a piece. It was worth every penny. I'm so happy Tijuana Flatts is back in Louisville. Don't walk, RUN to it as soon as possible

Oh, MY. Tijuana Flats is My Kinda Place!! We paid our first visit on a recent Friday for dinner. And. It. Was. Awesome! Tijuana Flats occupies the space that used to be...(wait...I have absolutely no idea what used to occupy this space)...something else and opened recently. I had never heard of Tijuana Flats before and I love, Love, LOVE Mexican, so this was an easy choice. The inside was very clean and very colorful. From the Louisville-ized mural on the wall to the color coding on the Hot Bar, it's a color feast for the eyes. You order at the counter they bring the food to you when it's ready. Since this is our first visit we had questions, which Justin was able to answer, and he also provided helpful suggestions. The menu isn't enormous, but it's well-suited to the establishment, covering the typical Mexican fare with some sides and a few specialty items. Since I'm a huge fan of Street Tacos, I went with the Green Chile Street Tacos. We also got a Chips and Guac starter. Food delivery took less than ten minutes, and the food was hot and fresh and the tortilla chips we still warm. The guac (freshly made) was 100% awesome! Between the chips that came with our starter and the chips that came with our entrees, we had A LOT of chips! (note: All entrees come with chips) My Green Chile Street Tacos were most excellent! I tried one sauce from each section of the Hot Bar. Oh, man, I gotta tell you about the Hot Bar. The Hot Bar is their sauce/salsa section. There are 3 different sauces on each of 4 sides. The bottom of each section is color coded to go with the heat level of the sauces on that side. Green for mild, then yellow for medium, orange for hot, and red for Holy Hell Hot! It's a completely cool and a completely clever way to provide the sauces. There are paper cups available as well. As we sat there was someone coming out to take care of the dining room every few minutes. There are no trash cans because they clear the tables after you leave. The décor is colorful, that atmosphere is fun, the service was great, and the food was excellent. We will MOST definitely be back!

This was a kind of slow Monday night so it was no waiting for a table. Carson was right there ready to ask us what we needed. We ordered various appetizers and drinks. Service was right on time with our drinks and appetizers. The chicken tortilla soup was hands down the best I've ever had. It came in a very large steaming bowl with chunks of white real chicken and avocado. My friend ordered fajitas which were relish as well. Tricky part was the kids and getting straight what they wanted was no easy task but Carson was perfect in her delivery of all the food. Can't say how much this meant to us as we had previous disappointments in other restaurants. So happy to give a great review where one was due! Thank you Chuys and Carson!

Merle's is one of those restaurants where I didn't expect much from it, but nevertheless, it…read moreexceeded my expectations. It's way better than it needs to be! It could just be mediocre pub food, but the food here is very, very good. I don't know why, but when I'm in the south, I get the hankering for a deviled egg. So we started with the deviled eggs (Los Huevos El Diablo), which, despite the name, were not super spicy. They had just the right amount of spice. One thing to know about me is: If I see a patty melt on the menu, I will order that. So I got the Merle's Melt, which is a burger patty with cheddar and Monterey jack cheese, plus bacon and special sauce on buttered toast. It was sublimely tasty! It comes with house-made chips, which were good. They also offer tacos on the menu. One of my children got one steak taco and one chicken taco. The tacos are topped with tomato, lettuce and cojita cheese. I was told that these were very good! My kid eats like a bird, but ate one and a half tacos, so that must say something, right? The Lip Smack'n Mac & Cheese was also ordered, as well as the fried chicken, because the menu says that the fried chicken is award-winning, so how could we not? The fried chicken was super crispy and tasty, and the mac and cheese was creamy and made with large shells, which is the best kind of pasta to use for mac and cheese (in my opinion). The service was great, the lighting was great, and we were seated quickly, even though they seemed busy. It was a good place to have a family dinner in Louisville.

If I could give six stars, I absolutely would. Merle's Whiskey Kitchen is one of the best dining…read moreexperiences I've had in Louisville. The service was incredible from start to finish--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The staff really know their menu and make great recommendations, especially when it comes to their massive bourbon selection. There are pictures of the original bourbon Gods all around making for an educational ambiance. Speaking of bourbon, this place is a dream if you're a fan. They have over 100 bourbons to choose from, making it the perfect spot to sample some of Kentucky's best while you eat. And the food...wow. Some of the most delicious comfort food you'll find anywhere. The authentic Kentucky fried chicken is a must-order--crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Every dish we tried felt like elevated Southern comfort food done right. Between the amazing service, incredible food, and unbeatable bourbon selection, Merle's is a must-visit when you're in Louisville. Easily a six-star experience.

Overall the food was solid and pretty tasty. We had the flash fried tortillas starter with chicken…read moreand mole. I'm used to a spicier mole but this one wasn't off base. We then moved onto the cochinita and the mushroom based tortilla. The cochinita was a good sized serving topped with an orange sauce. I enjoyed it pretty thoroughly and it was a pleasant surprise. My wife had the mushroom tortilla dish which the mushrooms themselves were good, but we noticed the tortilla felt as if it wasn't cooked all the way through and had a doughy taste to it still. The tortilla may have been too thick but either way it was slightly off putting. To drink we split a Jamaica with mint which was delicious and hydrating. It was mainly a mint leaf that added the slight mint flavor so it didn't over power the hibiscus. Would highly recommend. For a desert we had a Mexican tiramisu which was overall a great end to the overall food. Only negative was the mandarins slice on the top of the dessert was very tart which clashed with the sweetness of the dessert. The ambiance was decent and had low light setting which was nice, we personally did not like how close together the seats were as it made it seem like the just wanted to cram as many people into the area to maximize profits. Would be nice to have a bit more space. Speaking of profit, I do believe the dishes were solid but I truthfully don't think the prices are worth it. I understand the farm fresh is a huge part of it, but when you're selling 3 tacos for 25$ it's clear there's a specific group of people this is geared towards in addition to the part of town. This is the main reason I am giving it a 4/5. The service was exemplary and our server was on time, very polite and was amazing at giving recommendations. She was the one that recommended the starter. Overall would come here sporadically or for special occasions but would not make it a regular occurrence due to pricing.
