“Sofia’s is ALWAYS fresh. I’ve yet to get something I didn’t enjoy while here. Everything I’ve tried is amazing. Love a good burrito but the fajitas are top notch. Salsa is refreshing. Pico is delicious. Birria and barbacoa are to die for. The staff is absolutely the best. It’s our weekly date spot and I wouldn’t change it for anything.“

“We were in Louisville for just a quick trip and our family was looking for a good authentic Mexican place to eat. We were SO GLAD to have found this place! The ambience is amazing and so beautifully decorated. The service was perfect, but the best part of all was THE FOOD. The specials were Caldo de Camaron, Pozole Verde, and Chiles Rellenos all super authentic and tasted just like one would make it at home. The drinks were fantastic, we had agua de horchata and jamaica and both were sooo fresh and tasty. Overall, we were happy that the one place we chose to eat was here!! If you are hesitant to stop by, don’t be, just go!!“

“I used Ernesto’s catering for rehearsal dinner for our son and daughter in laws wedding. Not only did they quote a couple dollars less per person than other local Mexican restaurants, but they also went out of their way to provide warmer trays and serving utensils. We had to pick up on a Friday night at 6pm, one of their busiest times for sure! The food was hot and delicious! Highly recommend for events as well as for usual, every day dining needs!“

NOT ONLY was the food fantastic, the portions were enormous for the price, they have a wide selection of Hispanic snacks, spices, chilies, masa, and the best variety of drinks I have the hardest time finding!! Absolutely blown away by this restaurant and the woman working was so warm, welcoming and kind.

“Great food, and good service. I'd like to highlight a different experience I had with them. I accidentally left my wallet Friday evening, and someone turned it in. I called and they made it super easy for me to pick up before they even opened, and properly vetted me to make sure it was mine. I really appreciate their effort and kindness.“

“Mexican dishes, full menu, kind and attentive service, full-service bar and patio dining, sidewalk accessibility, smoking area, large indoor tables with flat screen TV's on every major channel, what more can I say! My family loves it, especially my late grand dad; when he was around to enjoy it, my family made the effort to give him; (a retired veteran and leader in not-for-profit business and charity and church/faith) great experiences here and he spoke so highly of it despite his disabilities in old age that would've otherwise made him so wary. Thanks, Fiesta Time! My family is always grateful you are there.“

“Always good food and service.“

“Salsarita’s Fresh Mexican Grill Middletown, KY

On 8/28/20 we had 12 of the Residents from the HOA at Swan Pointe come together at Salsarita’s in Middletown to have dinner. I had encouraged them to join the rewards plan so they could save $5.00 and maybe get some chips and some of your wonderful Queso dip. I knew that I love it!!
The line moved very quickly and it didn’t take long to have our food ready to carry back to the tables. I had the Steak Quesadillas with grated cheddar cheese and Queso dip and a side of Chips and Salsa. I really liked what I got. Phil had the Chicken Bowl with Chicken, pico de gallo, Refried Beans, Lettuce, Tomato, Shredded Cheese and Queso Dip. He really liked his and it and had plenty to eat. Everyone in our group really had a great time and really enjoyed their meals. I took pictures of each person’s plate and everything really looked good. There was a great big Taco Salad in a shell, one person had a Burrito that came wrapped in a foil wrapper and it took both of his hands to hold it.
The restaurant was very clean and so was the beverage area. Your Ice Tea was very good. The ladies’ room was very clean. The
parking was easy to get into and was very handicap accessible. We had a great time.“

“I always love eating at El Nopal, any location. This location is a more modern location than the older ones I started eating at. It's newly renovated and more updated then some of the older El nopal's. But still a solid 4. If you like spice you HAVE GOT TO TRY THE CHILI COLORADO!“

“We love Crestwood El Nopal! The food is consistently good, the drinks are delicious, and the staff is wonderful. Their tortilla soup is the best!“

“First time I ate here and I’m glad I did. I got the Pineapple Express burrito and loved it. The sauce is kinda spicy, but with the sweetness of the pineapples in the pineapple salsa was the perfect balance. Also ordered the chips and queso for my son and I, it was good as well. Queso here is a little runnier than we prefer, but good overall! We ordered it for takeout and it was ready and on the pickup shelf with my name clearly displayed by the estimated time we were given. Love their pickup process because if you’re in a hurry, you don’t even have to speak to anyone and can just be in and out.“

“yum. the sauce is amazing steak tacos were excellent generous portion of cilantro and onions highly recommend“

“My husband and I were visiting from out of town and tried this place on a whim! It was soooo good! I highly recommend the Al Pastor and the guacamole. The sauces were to die for!“

“We had dinner here last night, family of 7. The service was awesome! Our server was Alesha, she took wonderful care of us. Topped off drinks without having to ask. Food was amazing! Hats off to the chef! We all took home leftovers, the portions were huge! The restaurant was very clean. I was very pleased with the cleanliness of the restroom. We all had a wonderful experience at this location. Will be back.“

“Best Peruvian food in town.“

“Great vegetarian options! Sometimes I ask at other restaurants for veggie fajitas, and all I get are peppers and onions....not here! I'm posting a photo of the gorgeous veggies. We were only traveling through because of the April 8, 2024 Eclipse....but if we ever get the chance, we will go back!

Vegetarian options: I got the veggie fajitas - a really nice variety of veggies and deliciously seasoned!“

“Delicious 😋 great service“

“I love QDoba. I have for as long as I've been aware that QDoba exists. I don't know that I've ever had a bad experience at QDdoba. May an experience here or there that wasn't 100%, but never anything bad.

On a recent evening we had an appointment at another business nearby and decided to have dinner at QDoba before that. We'd also never been to this location before.

We walked in around 5:45pm and walked right up to the counter. There were a couple of occupied tables but other than that they weren't that busy (it was a Tuesday evening). After reviewing the menu for a minute the young man behind the counter took our orders and made our food as we went down the line. I opted for a Chicken Bowl, my wife ordered the Cheese Crusted Quesadilla. He was pleasant and fun and had a great sense of humor. I ordered Our food was made quickly and accurately.

My Chicken Bowl as excellent, as always. I always order extra pico de gallo. QDoba has the best pico On Earth! My wife's Cheese Crusted Quesadilla was huge. ENORMOUS, I tell you!

The dining room could have used a little attention (several tables needed to be cleaned up) and the drink station was a bit...drink-y. The service area behind the counter was cluttered and the food assembly line could have been wiped down. During our visit no one came out to look at the dining room, but it was in generally good shape.

We've got another appt nearby in a couple weeks and we're planning to have dinner here again. Once a fan of QDoba, always a fan of QDoba!“

“This is hands-down the best Taco Bell I have been to in my life, and I have been to a lot of different ones in multiple different states. The food is hot and fresh, quick, and the service is exceptional. The morning and evening shift managers stay on their stuff and make you feel welcome! I will continue to be loyal to this location. Thanks for all you do!“
