50 Best Mexican Restaurants near St. Matthews

“I gave five stars for atmosphere because the place is wonderfully decorated, so much color, so much of the culture on exhibit, and it's everywhere. It's unfortunate not all El Nopal's are decorated so nice. Some of them look like the cafeteria at the elementary school,....i.e.: HP, Blnknbaker, ...., anyway, the only thing that would have made this six stars would be a mariachi band. The service received four stars - while everyone was professional and attentive the language barrier sometimes interferes with getting the order correct - for instance, vegetables instead of rice as the side... And then giving the change request to someone who never got that communicated to the right people. Other than that, wonderful people and very nice. The food was of generous portions, well prepared, great flavor, HOWEVER, my chicken breast had been flattened to the point that it was very very tough lacked moisture and was difficult to even chew. A chicken breast should be plump juicy full of flavor and easy to cut through. Everything else at our table was prepared well and delicious to all. When shopping at the Mall St. Matthews, definitely consider this place for a margarita cold beer your choice of cocktails and some good to great Mexican food. Good job you guys thank you, we'll be back.“

“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!!“

“This is the BEST Mexican restaurant in the region! Generous portions, fair prices and authentic choices that cater to a wide array of palates. Have gone here for several years now and never disappointed. The staff is always friendly and expeditious. Recently had a carne asada torta and tried their pozole rojo. The torta was massive and properly assembled. The steak was perfectly seasoned and grilled as always. Only regret not having gotten a lengua torta. Found out after ordering they recently put lengua back in rotation. The pozole was rich, flavorful and full of large cuts of tender pork. Enough for at least two meals worth. If you’ve never been, what are you waiting for?? Give this place a try“

“This is by far my favorite Mexican Restaurant in town, for both quality burritos, great meat options, authentic drinks, and at a fair price. They have a lot of choices you don’t commonly see anywhere north of Mexico. Honestly underrated and more people need to discover this restaurant. My recommendation: Chile Relleno burrito with Barbacoa 🌯.“

Oh, and try the huckleberry frozen margarita and their house-made corn tortillas. 1000/10 experience and will definitely be coming back!“

“First time there we celebrated a birthday, and WOW, these folks made it memorable and fun!! Best time ever! This is not a typical Mexican restaurant. The menu is loaded with amazing food from numerous countries in S. America. Huge portions (food AND drink!) at reasonable prices and everything we tried was over-the-top delish! We've returned num times...our new favorite place to eat with consistently great food/drinks!“

“Hungry? Come here! The portions are big and you won't be hungry when you leave. The staff was very kind and attentive. The food was very good and brought to us very quickly. We are from out of town (Missouri) so we found this place on a whim, we are glad we did. The facility is very clean and smelled amazing when walking in. The decor was cute and well done, very relaxing atmosphere.“

“Good food but very upset that the menus are not the same from one restaurant to the next. I need gluten-free and dairy-free. The Omni slays it with the El Chingon but it's not available at Hurstbourne. Ughhhh. What a letdown. Please change this! I would order this meal every week or more.“

“Tienda muy limpia, personal amable y servicial, excelente variedad de comida fresca.“

“Went with a party of 10 originally and ended up having about 15 kids included. Nearly every single order was wrong, cold, or took 40+ minutes HOWEVER the ones that were correct were delicious and our server was fantastic and kept a friendly attitude despite the complaints and issues“

“premade food and they heat it up, the food is rock hard and they put paper on the plates to keep them from being dirty, they could really improve by making it freshly made, your a Mexican restaurant it should be freshly made.“

“Buena comida buen servicio“

“Our favorite place for a casual dinner when in Louisville! The food and margs are delicious and the staff is so friendly!“

“The food is really good, but the prices are kinda insane for what it is. If you have deep pockets and enjoy this kind of food then it's perfect but not good on a budget at all. Overall it's worth it though. This location is a little small and can be hard to find parking as well.“

“La mejor atencion y los sabores mas deliciosos combinados en este confortable lugar. lo memor de lo mejor. 😋😋😋😋😋😋“

“The food was great. The service was fantastic. We had a verity of food at our table. All the food was delicious. I wish we had this in Spokane WA. 10 stars if I could.“

“I cannot say enough Love This restaurant !! Fun with Band and Food is outstanding!!“

“Been going there for years and have never had a problem! ❤️“

“We come here weekly and love it! The food is always served hot and delicious and their Mango Margarita is the best I’ve had. Diego is awesome and our fav, although we’ve never had bad service by any of the servers. Since becoming ‘Dos’ instead of ‘Los’ the menu is expanded and much better.“

“I absolutely love this breakfast spot! Anytime we visit Kentucky, we make a point to stop by for a delicious breakfast with unique options you don’t find everywhere. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, and they also speak Spanish for anyone who may find that helpful! On our last visit, I accidentally left my phone behind, and they kindly held onto it for me until the next day. It really speaks to the kind of people who work here. Between the amazing food and the genuinely wonderful staff, this place will always be on our list of stops whenever we’re in Kentucky. Highly recommend!“
