Mi Preferida Supermercado — Attraction in Louisville

I'd like to start 2020 off with a review of a restaurant I knew existed, had been near countless times, but had never taken the opportunity to eat at. And I am now kicking myself in the pants for taking so long.

Mi Preferida Restuarante is tucked away in the back of the Mi Preferida Supermercado. We've been into the store countless time because it's relatively close to home and they have some items we can only find there (Jalapeño Tostada shells!) I'd noticed the taqueria in the back but never really gave it much thought because sometimes Jim can be pretty narrowly focused and I didn't walk in to eat, I walked in to buy.

On a recent Friday we stopped in to get a couple things (you guessed it, Jalapeño Tostada shells) and we hadn't decided where we were going to have dinner yet. When we walked in the door I noticed the arched doorway in the back and said to wifey "Wifey. What do you think about eating dinner here?". She said "Why not! We haven't eaten here before")

Why we waited so long I don't know, but now I'm kicking myself for it.

Mi Preferida isn't big on decor, being nestled in the back of a grocery store, but it's all about the food, and the food is amazingly authentic and amazingly awesome. And they have glass bottle beverages. Pepsi in a glass bottle is FAR superior to the stuff you get in cans and plastic bottles these days.

I love the complete transparency of this restaurant. You can see the entirety of the operation when you walk up to the counter. The food prep area, the grills, the steam tables. It's all there in plain site, so there's no mystery about what you're getting and how it's being prepared. And the food is AB-so-lutely genuine and delicious.

So it's not the fanciest Mexican restaurant in town, but it is some of the most authentic, genuine Mexican you'll...

Went to the restaurant in the back and got the burrito. Seems like they always try to short you on something. First it was no beans or guac. Second time no guac but I ate inside and they said they didn't have any guacamole so I said what about those avocado pieces. He gave me some and just as I was about to leave the guy wants to charge me an extra$4 for the avocado. The burrito is already $10 and it says it comes with guacamole. Idk why they didn't have any made or why they didn't want to make some...

I love this store!!!!!!! They have a meat market in the back, a restaurant, in case you want a bite to eat (and it's delicious). Everyone here is always friendly, the store is always clean. As a Puerto Rican it wasn't always easy to find the things I needed when I moved here until I came this store. Although it is a Mexican store they have a variety of things for everyone. Stop in!!!! I know 100% for sure you won't leave empty handed, you might even...
