we have been here twice -- we had a pretty good experience the first time (despite the mixed reviews) and couldn't wait to go again. after the second time, we most likely won't be back again which is unfortunate since we live 2 minutes away. both times we got the same food, 3 pork tamales and 3 shrimp flour tacos.
1st time - chips and salsa are great! food was well seasoned and actually felt like it was fresh. waitress was nice and checked on us a few times however offered no refills on drinks. restaurant had a couple open tables inside and half the patio was open so they weren't crazy busy.
2nd time - again, chips and salsa, great! tacos seemed like it was premade and sitting under a warmer. the plate was the only hot thing, tortillas were soggy, no seasoning on the shrimp, lettuce was slightly browning and beans seemed like they were just sitting out, they were super dry. waitress did not come out once, we had no utensils for the rice and beans and no napkins. the tamales were pretty bland this time around as well compared to the last time. no taste in any food.
i love supporting local but the thing that makes me not want to come back is the owner (i'm assuming he's the owner or manager) came out to the patio and literally went up to the 5 tables (not including ours) that had customers sitting and eating and asked how everything was and tried to make small talk with them. he sat and talked with 2 out 5 tables for at least 5-10 minutes then went back inside. mind you, after talking to the 1st table (which was right next to us) he looked at us didn't say anything then proceeded to address the other tables. i find that to be rude especially when it's not a big patio so he can't play it off as if he didn't see us.
the 11 year old boy working there brought out our check and said, "you can go inside and pay it" and walked away, he's 11 so don't expect much from a kid that age. i went in to pay and the older lady standing at the register going through receipts barely said hi, took my receipt and cash, i told her she could keep the change and she very shortly said, "okay" as if i was bothering her by paying my bill.
i'm very big on mannerisms and friendly personalities especially in a restaurant setting, if you lack that and good customer service/attentiveness to your customers then it's hard to...
Read moreThis is going to be a gem of a place, just a few edges that need to be refined, which is to be expected opening just a month ago.
Stopped in for a late lunch, very attentive service, immediately greeted and given menus. It took a bit to get silverware and napkins, but server corrected it without us mentioning it. The booths are spaced a bit too far, I felt like I had to sit on the edge of the booth to reach the table...easy enough changes to make and provide room for more tables. My other "complaint" was the water served, it's the not so tasty Louisville municipal water supply. Not the restaurant's fault, just plan on ordering a drink of some sort.
The food and drinks are exceptional quality and at an easy price point. We did margaritas, lime and strawberry, with strawberry far superior and tasting like fresh made strawberry puree!
We came just for tacos, but the the server recommended the "Sol dip" (queso fundido..esque). It was the highlight, SO GOOD! Great chorizo and blanco queso with hearty warm chips. We ordered tacos a la carte and we're quite tasty with the shrimp, barbacoa, and chorizo being our favorite. We ordered them with flour tortillas, but I would probably switch to corn next time, flour tortillas were a bit bland, but the flavor on the meats made up for it.
Overall a fantastic experience and a great addition to this town, looking forward...
Read moreClean this filthy place up!!!! We tried the Carne Azada, the 3-combo plate, and the chimichanga. Not very authentic at all. All portions were small. They were okay but not great. They serve salsa and tiny bits of broken chips before dinner. The salsa was good. The Carne Azada was decent and the most authentic of all, but way over cooked meat.. burnt and tough!!! We had to excavate deeply the tamale to find any meat. The Chimichanga was tiny. The service was terrible. Each time we needed service, we had to stand up and wave someone over. This is a very small place so it shouldn't have been that difficult to serve us. I believe there are 4 or 5 booths and two tables. There was no owner or manager on site. The place was filthy. Note the dead fly (I hope it was a fly) in the window next to our booth. We were going to order dessert because none of us got full, but (that alone should tell you about the portion sizes). They were out of each thing we all wanted. The people in the booth across from us wanted dessert, too, but got none. The Margarita was green and was weird tasting but strong. We drove from Omaha to go there. NOT...
