    Steak Tacos
    John D.

    Ever since I heard about this place and checked it out, I've been going back incredibly frequently (sometimes even 2-3 times a week). They are so close to home and the BEST restaurant near me for sure. I love the art on the walls and how friendly the staff is by always greeting me with "how ya doing buddy!" lol. I'd always recommend my usuals to my friends: their chicken quesadillas and corn tortillas steak tacos are mouthwatering and made at the best quality every time I go. Thank you guys!

    I decided to try this place today while I was in the area. I have been wanting to come here for awhile so I rolled on it. It was not busy I looked at the menu and decided on the steak quesadilla. It was $7.99 and came with chips hot sauce and sour cream for no additional cost. The tell guys they made the food we're awesome very friendly and polite. The steak quesadilla was very tasty and flavorful as well. The hot sauce was hot and spicy too! Excellent overall experience. Definitely go give them a shot

    Chilitos Mexican Grill is one of the best places to get Mexican food in Louisville. The food is fresh and full of flavor. The staff is friendly, and the prices are reasonable. I first tried Chilitos Mexican Grill while working down on Dixie Hwy. I was not familiar with the area, and I was looking for a place to eat lunch. I saw the sign for Chilitos Mexican Grill, and I decided to give it a try. I am so glad that I did! The food at Chilitos Mexican Grill is fantastic. I had the chicken nachos, and they were some of the best nachos I have ever had. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the flavors were incredible. I also had the opportunity to try the queso, which was delicious. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with a smile by the friendly staff. The decor is colorful and vibrant. It's the perfect place to come for a night out with friends or family. But what makes Chilitos so unique is the people. Everyone who works there is so passionate about the food and the culture. If you're ever in Louisville, make sure to swing by Chilitos Mexican Grill. You won't be disappointed!

    I think it's really important to understand what type of restaurant this is- there isn't table service. You walk up to the counter and order- think of qdoba. I will now lay out why I'll choose Chilitos over qdoba any day of the week. This isn't a qdoba bashing but just a rundown of why I'll choose Chilitos over qdoba. Chilitos & Qdoba - both have good food with options based on personal preferences Qdoba- long line that runs out the door with overflowing garbage cans and very dirty drink/sauce station Chilitos - friendly people that seem invested in the success of the business, clean stations, samples offered Call me crazy but I'm willing to spend $1-2 extra dollars for a better experience.

    I visited Veronica's for the first time last Wednesday night and now I know what the hype is all…read moreabout! I had been wanting to go for quite some time to try the Birria because I heard it is so amazing, and it really lived up to the Hype! Oh, did I mention they have the viral soft serve margaritas!?!?! I got the strawberry, it was so pretty, excellent presentation and absolutely delicious! I will say it was more like a dessert to me and I would have preferred to have it after my meal instead if before but that's just me. We got there between 6:30 and 7:00 and it was really busy, luckily our friends got there first and grabbed a table. They had already had a round of drinks while waiting on us but it took a while for anyone to come over to greet us or refill their drinks but again it was busy and everyone was helping everyone. We ended up splitting the birria platter and still had plenty of food to take home which we just ate last night as leftovers and were still absolutely fire!! I think the egg roll and quesadillas were my favorite over the tacos bc I love the melty cheese. I also ordered a small side of queso which was surprisingly a little spicy which I really enjoyed. They even surprised us when my BIL ordered a small margarita and it came out in a fish glass (see photo). It was so unexpected but also so cute at the same time ... it's really the little things like this that bring joy, okay? LOL This place was absolutely amazing and I can't wait to try it again.

    After my 3rd visit to Veronica's I figured it was time to do my review so here it is... after…read morebecoming a big fan of all things birria it became clear Veronica's was a place I needed to visit. It's nestled in an area known to have a lot of flavor already so just be aware of that. Firstly I will say the folks running this establishment are friendly, kind, humorous and above all attentive. The service has never failed me. The birria is exactly as you'd expect very very well done and consistent. I've had the quesabirria tacos, birria eggrolls and "pizza" also recently the steak quesadilla. All perfectly executed and tasty AF. The environment in the restaurant is vibrant and the decor is elaborate. The prices are maybe a few dollars more than say your average Mexican eatery. $15 for three Quesabirria tacos, quesadilla 18 bucks (too much). In my opinion the birria platter is the best value for first time visitors. Chips and salsa are free and very good. Overall I would definitely recommend Veronica's I've never left feeling like I didn't get my moneys worth or the food wasn't great and this means a lot.

There seems to have been quite a bit of turnover in the last year or so and many of the amazing servers who used to work here are gone. And, the new ones seem to provide the bare minimum of attentiveness. It used to be the case that I came frequently enough that they basically had my order down pat (including my special requests for extra hot sauce). That has been replaced with literally not even getting basic service like a timely water refill. Or, not getting silverware until I asked for it. They tried the buffet for a while (which I never partook in), but around that time the food quality seemed to get worse. They got rid of the buffet, but the food still suffers. On my recent trip, the chips were even gross. The seasoning was bland and the lettuce looked old. ¿Qué te pasó, Mi Casita? Solías ser mi lugar favorito. Me temo que ahora ya ni siquiera te tomo en cuenta para el almuerzo. En fin, lamentaré tu pérdida. Perhaps in a couple years will return to see if anything has changed, but for now, you have lost a one-time weekly or twice a week customer.

So I was told I had to wait 20 minutes. When they came to get me, guess where they sat me...in the bar!! WTAF?? Yes it was on a table, a broken table, unclean and sticky, but still in the bar in a crowded spot. As expected, zero service! I had to wait to even be greeted and when finally greeted...all I got was "what do you want to order?"! No help, no introduction, no hello or welcome!
