El Molcajete

Best authentic Mexican food I’ve had in a while. We ordered the fish tacos, tacos de pastor and carne asada tacos… all were excellent. The waitress brought two bottles of sauce with the meal… a guacamole sauce and some seriously hot hot sauce. Don’t let the outside fool you… this place is worth the stop!

Yum yum yum
Amazing food simple but quality at great prices.
Ceviche was amazing, homemade guacamole perfect roasted pork. Only issue was i could not stop eating and left feeling overstuffed. Great portions brought home 2 big boxes of left overs.

Got a to go lunch order. The food is awesome. The whole tilapia looks awesome. Had chimi and quesodilla lunch specials. Both delish. Sauces all good. Chorizo cheese great. Did take a bit (40 minutes) get order but worth the wait

You know that saying, «don’t judge a book by the cover?» keep that in mind when you pull into this place. I literally made us leave the place because I thought it was too sketch looking for me, but it was Nick’s turn to pick dinner. I am THRILLED I listened and gave it a chance.
There are not enough things I can say about this place to make you go to it. This has been by far the most authentic Latino food I have had since visiting Mexico last year. The menu is in both English and Spanish. There are options for everyone: seafood, pork and steak. There are several different options for taco meat including tongue, intestines and brain.
I was not as adventurous as I could have been, but it was my first time so I kept it safe with BBQ pork, pork and steak tacos. I had my tacos deluxe (for $ 0.25 they add lettuce, tomato and sour cream). The tacos were massive and fantastic. In the future, I would only order 2 of them due to the size. The tacos are priced well at only 2 $ a pop unless you deluxe them.
We also tried their salsa and chips along with cheese dip with chorizo. Holy cow. The cheese dip must have had 2 – 3 different types of cheese melted together. The salsa was not what you will be use to at a typically Latino place in Louisville. It is not chunky or thick. It was served a little hot in temperature. Although it was not something I am use to, it was the best salsa I have ever had.
Go here. Now.

Holy cow, I feel like I just went to Mexico and back. This place was crazy, crazy good. Absolutely delicious, authentic Mexican food and beverages. It is not the most compelling location or building in any way, shape, or form, but the food is incredible. You have to try it. If you want real Mexican food, this is the place to go. I hope the owners do really well and can expand their business one day. They deserve it. DELICIOUS!

I have lived in Louisville for 5 years and can’t believe it took me so long to find this place! It is a hidden gem, and a favorite amongst my friends. It is definitely easy to miss, but should absolutely be experienced. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious. Just go.

I came here to research ceviche for my blog but discovered a whole menu of flavors and dishes. The mixed seafood ceviche was large and a bargain at $ 12, it wasn’t my favorite since they used catfish (which didn’t work well) but thoroughly enjoyed the spiciness and flavors of the camerones de diablo.
The portions here are huge and the prices very reasonable. The menu has a lot of seafood options and authentic dishes that I can’t wait to try. The atmosphere is very casual and laid back. I can do without the super loud background music though. For dessert, walk over to Pinchitos next door for Mexican ice cream.

The most authentic Mexican food around. Drive by those chain Mexican restaurants and head right to this little joint right here! It will not disappoint. Menus are in both English and Spanish. My husband and I have been reading the menu daily since our first visit trying to decide what we want to dive into next. Yes, it’s that good.

This place is the real deal. I haven’t had fantastic Mexican food like this since I moved from California. The prices are good, the food is great… wow! I cant speak highly enough for how my Carne Asada burrito tasted. I am definitely going back, hopefully it’s as good as my first time going there. Seriously Ive been dieing for a good Mexican place that is not the new mexico green chile style or tex mex… its just like California style Mexican food.

The first AUTHENTIC Mexican place I’ve been able to find since moving to Louisville. Really good food and super fresh. The service was a little slow, and the music was really really loud. My husband and I were literally yelling to talk to one another across the table. I finally asked if it could be turned down a little bit, but it was still loud. The music was from a jukebox, so once the song that was chosen was done, it was fine. Other than that, it was a great experience and we will definitely be going back for the amazing food.

I’ve not eaten at the restaurant, but I’ve gotten take-​out. They have some of the best casual ceviche in the city (nothing beats the digs at Seviche, but that’s a whole other level). They offer both fish and shrimp. I prefer the fish, but both are good. Also, both are generous amounts with tostadas, and both are under $ 5 a piece. I will definitely be back for more!

This Mexican restaurant might become my new favorite on Preston Highway. How can one stretch of road in Louisville ky have so many great Mexican eateries when so many cities have none.
This is a bar and grill. The bar is prominent in the dining room. Posters of bikini girls advertising I have no idea what and I don’t care.
This place has tacos. I almost got the ribeye with chili de Arbol but I went with tacos to try some different meats.
The tripa was fantastic. Probably not for everyone. It’s like pork fat that’s been deep fried.
The chorizo was spicy and salty and awesome.
The al pastor was perfectly cooked pork, spicy and slightly sweet. Then there’s the green sauce. Oh my gawd! Avacado crema with chilies! Fan Effin tastic! They give you a whole squeeze bottle so try not to hurt yourself.
I got to see a lot of different dishes going to the construction crew next to me. Huge tortas, biggest empanadas I’ve ever seen, and ceviche.
I will definitely be back. Probably tomorrow.
