“Chicken fajitas were very good! great premium Margarita and prompt, excellent service!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“absolutely best in town...much better“

“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!“

I asked for recommendations and she did not disappoint! If you ever come here, I’d say to request her if you can! Oh, and try the huckleberry frozen margarita and their house-made corn tortillas. 1000/10 experience and will definitely be coming back!“

“Best Mexican restaurant I’ve been to. Moved to area in April 2022 and have been to El Alcapulco at least 8 times. Prompt service, great food, good prices. It’s our “go to”’when we want Mexican.“

“Found this gem by chance on a day trip with my mom, we are AZ natives and just moved to Cincinnati from Brownsville TX and have sincerely missed good food we grew up eating! WOW!!! 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.
We will definitely be making the 1.5 hour trip again specifically to eat here! The al pastor is perfection. We were too excited for our food and I forgot to snap pictures“

“Muy Delicioso, as always…I’ll let you know if something changes!

Kid-friendliness: If you ask nice, your kid can get swooned in a sombrero and take a surprise pie in the face on their birthday:)

Wheelchair accessibility: Very open and accessible“

“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.“

“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.“

“The BEST! Stopped in our way home to Sikeston. 😊 Our server Jr. was very kind. He took the time to go over the menu with us. Great Food, Good People, quick service.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“I have now eaten at both locations in CA and KY and they did not disappoint!!! amazing food with great service on top.“

“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“

“It’s Qdoba. You know what it is. As long as the cooks keep their grip on status quo, they can afford to train young managers on me without a fuss. I thought the guac was ‘causally unlimited’ since they converted to California prices half a decade ago, and since they used to give more guac for free but I guess not anymore. Because the person I spoke to at the Middletown branch would have me believe my reality needs to be reconsidered. So I reconsidered it.

Maybe the company memo had just been sent out: “Don’t admit anything about our previous relationship with Guac. Delete this email.”

And if so, this person deserves the prize. I know they’ve been giving me extra guac upon request for the last few years, because I remember asking twice in one visit just to see if they would do it. They did.

Or maybe they definitely did and I should document this here so it can be referenced as an authority that remembers, like FISA.“

“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!“
