“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!!“

“Gustavo’s Mexican Grill in Norton Commons continues to impress, and that includes keeping the place spotlessly clean! The food remains outstanding—fresh, bold flavors, and consistently delicious. Whether it's the sizzling fajitas, birria tacos, or their killer margaritas, everything hits the mark every time. The staff is excellent as always—friendly, attentive, quick, and genuinely welcoming. They make you feel right at home, even during busy times. On top of that, the cleanliness is top-tier. The restaurant is always very clean: floors spotless, tables wiped down promptly, and the whole space feels fresh and well-maintained. Reviewers often call it one of the cleanest Mexican spots around, and it's easy to see why—the vibe is inviting and comfortable from the moment you walk in. With the charming Norton Commons setting and that great patio option, it's perfect for any occasion. Gustavo’s delivers on every front—food, service, and a pristine environment. Easily five stars! 🌮✨“

“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!“

“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.“

“I have visited this restaurant on a number of occasions over several years. I live in England and make trips to La Grange each year if I can and my friends there always take me to Gustavos. I'm particularly partial to the Yucatan Fish. I had it this past Sunday and had every intention of taking some away with me. It didn't happen because I couldn't help myself and left a clean plate. I have never been disappointed with a meal there and have no hesitation in recommending it.“

“This place is amazing! The people are wonderfully friendly and always willing to help. I love the quality of the food and the authentic seasoning! 🇲🇽👏🏽“

“Delicious food! Especially love the burrito bowl!“

“My girlfriend and I just had one of the best experiences here! Our waitress, Paola, was amazing. She made our experience 10x better. She was kind and super friendly. 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!“

“Som of the best tacos I’ve had. We had carnitas, al pastor, asada, and pollo and they were all incredible. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The tienda also has a great selection of Latin foods, snacks, and drinks at a great price. Having lived in Central America, going to Taqueria Crestwood was super authentic.“

“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!“

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

“We dined at the Hurstbourne location for Valentine's Day and was not disappointed!! There were full vases of flowers on every table as well as a Valentine's balloon. The restaurant was so festive, then to add to the ambiance a strolling violinist was playing a beautiful love song. My phone died so there aren't any pictures of the delicious food. The baskets of tortilla chips even had red heart shaped chips in the mix. Gustavo's pulled all the stops to make this holiday special for their customers!“

“Always good food and service.“

“Excellent service, delicious and consistent food, best shredded chicken of any Mexican restaurant I’ve been to in La Grange or East Louisville. I have celiac disease and have not had any reaction to their chips, salsa, or cheese dip (nor anything else I’ve ordered so far - taco salad with shredded chicken no tortilla shell, shredded chicken tacos, refried beans, rice). 10/10 recommend!“

“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.“

“nice restaurant amazing food great service very nice people“

“This place isn't just a restaurant, its a life style. I came in expecting a good meal with a few of my buddies, leaving i got the greatest gift of all. i walk in and am awestruck with the sight of Ada, my serve. She is the sweetest most awesome possum worker I have met. She just knows what to say, took my order with the biggest smile, and even gave me free chips. What I would do for her to be my waiter is unspeakable and unforgivable. I think about her and the place 24/7. My life is truly changed for the better. Shoutout to Ada, my star crossed lover. This place is the best place ive ever seen. This place resembles greatness. Come here and experience greatness.“

“I was in from Chicago. Ordered food before closing and picked up. Ladies at front counter were very nice. Portions were huge. I ordered the 3 carnitas tacos w/ rice & beans and for my family member a steak huarache.
Next time I'm in Kentucky, I'll definitely stop in to dine in.
Gracias“

“Stopped in today and got some of our favorites and tried some new things that now have joined the favorites list! The Tortas, Tamales, the Burritos...the list goes on. All Excellent!“

“What makes me mad, is I ordered a burrito. Chicken, Rice, onions, black beans and cilantro. Why is it stuffed so full I can't eat it without taking it back to work, and getting a bowl. If I wanted a burrito bowl, I would have ordered one. This fell apart bursting out of the burrito shell as soon as I tried to open it. I could not even begin to take a bite. It's a gorgeous day outside and I wanted to eat at the picnic table.
Also, wipe down your nasty drink fridge. It looks like a million nasty hands have opened that door and it has never been wiped off.
Quality of food is decent, but this experience totally is off-putting.“

“This is MY el nopal. I have been to many locations but this is the one. I went to the one of Westport and felt like I was under investigation the whole time. Here, at least 4 servers checked on me! They did not care at all that I was dining alone and plenty happy to offer me a second margarita. Amazing service, fabulous food. I had the fajitas Hawaiian. I will go out of my way to come to this location.“

“Delicious 😋 great service“

“Love this place!! The restaurant itself is a vibe...big beautiful and clean space. Staff were so welcoming and friendly. This menu is EXTENSIVE!! So many options and different choices! Highly recom“

“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!“

“Just finished lunch today. We come to this location often and it’s always good. Today I will say was one of my best experiences. The gentleman that waited on me and my family was excellent. Food was fresh and so good. It was truly nice to see someone who really cared about his job and serving the customer.“
