We traveled from Chicago to Louisville and were craving some authentic Mexican food and this place was AMAZING. The micheladas were 10/10, the seafood was very fresh, and the roasted chickens were 🤤 better than I imagined.

Found this place on a whim and so glad we did. The food was the most Authentic Mexican I’ve ever had. It’s a very small down to earth restaurant nothing fancy but the food definitely beats the fancy restaurants. The chipotle salsa was killer n the food was unbelievably good. Try it … you won’t be disappointed!!!!!

Ordered some food from here for the first time, and it was SO GOOD 😩 Really good tacos and chiles rellenos. Their spicy red salsa is probably my favorite that I've ever had.
