    Nachos
    Scott D.

    We were passing through the area from Texas and thought we would risk trying a local Mexican restaurant. I saw the good reviews and Daniels was close, and they did not dissapoint. While the spice level was not quite as high as what we would expect in our local spors, the foid was very good. My benchmark dish is chicken mole enchiladas and they were very good, with a generous portion of nice shredded chicken and rich mole sauce. The nachos were also first rate, and theyvsrrve a goid margarita too. The server was prompt and friendly. They were quite busy and lively on a Friday night, but the noise level wasnt obnoxious.

    Excellent food and service for large parties! First time dining at Daniel's and with a large group, they excelled in all aspects. The chips and salsa are endless and food portions are massive so you'll have a second round to take home with you. Highly recommend!

    The food was decent but seemed more Americanized than authentic Mexican, but everyone had their preferences. Plenty of booth and tables to sit and plenty of parking outside (it's in a strip mall).

    Great ambiance, great service, and cold beer. Got a lunch special and it was a lot of food. Chicken taco was very good!

    What a gem of a find! Just arrived in Shepherdsville staying for a couple of days to see Fort Knox, and dropped by for lunch. Flavors are a little different from the Tex mix. we're accustomed to in Texas and we loved every bit of it, highly recommend. Wonderful atmosphere, prompt, attentive, and friendly service. The food came out very quickly. It was hot fresh and homemade in my opinion. If you're in the area, definitely worth trying!

    Ok so, Daniels Little Mexico has been on my radar for quite sometime. I suggested to a co-worker that we come here on a weekend but, earlier in the day. If you follow them on Facebook, you will see it is a full house during dinner. We went on a rather chilly December day. It is located in Shepherdsville close to the cluster of many other fast food restaurants that you see from I-65. It is in a shopping center with other stores. Now going in, this place is actually bigger than what I anticipated. It seemed small from their Facebook lives. We did get service in a timely manner. I just ordered a combo that consisted of beef enchilada, refried beans, and a crunchy beef taco. I only had the house Margarita and a water. There were a few of us in the group and what stood out to me was the margarita flight with the patron bottles. I didn't try any of that but, maybe next time. My food was quite delicious. The enchilada had the right amount of beef and red sauce topped with cheese. Refried beans could always use more cheese. The taco well, I devoured that in a few bites, always loaded with more meat and cheese than Taco Bell (no offense). We did not get to see Daniel himself during this visit and what's interesting is that he was a manager at El Nopal on Dixie Hwy close to the Watterson some years ago. I'm happy that he has his own restaurant and will be opening another location in the Shepherdsville area probably this year. This was a rather good experience and this definitely helped my Mexican Food fix. I'm always up for trying New Mexican restaurants and this will be in the books.

    This is an excellent option for Mexican if you are ever in the area. Excellent food, service and atmosphere. We had a party of 5 1/2 (counting the littles) and everyone left happy and with full bellies.

    Simply delish. The service was quick and we were served food 5 mins after our order...el rapido! Cool ambience with colorfully decorated tables and chairs. My burrito was outstanding and was as big as my forearm.

    Daniels little Mexico is a Mexican restaurant located in Conestoga shooing center in Shepherdsville Kentucky . A friend and I stopped in here the other night to check the place out. Pretty large and spacious inside. Very nice and well down decor surrounds the place and outs of a great colorful vibe. The detail in the tables, benches and chairs are amazing. All woodwork and appeared to be hand painted with a lot of them dining the name of the establishment. We were sat down immediately and received very nice and friendly service. You get the customary complimentary chips and salsa to start with. Chips had very good taste as did the salsa. I'm more of a mild sauce guy but my friend enjoys the spicy and said that unlike most Mexican establishments the spicy sauce here actually has a nice kick to it. For our entrees one personally went with Pollo Caribe which is a cheese enchilada with grilled chicken and queso in a bed of rice with shrimp and plantains as well. Everything on my plate had good flavor. Queso nice and thick with a good taste and chicken cooked correctly with nice flavor. My fiend ordered a Torta al pastor which is evidently a traditional Mexican sandwich that he orders at a lot of places. I'm not too familiar with exactly what it is but he said this is one of the better Torta Al Pastor he has tasted. So if you are familiar and like them then evidently you should try little Daniels take on the dish. Overall this is Avery nice establishment with a large menu, good vibe and lovely decor. Vibe seems upbeat and lively. They had a guac cart floating around where workers was among guac at tables which seemed to be a huge success and draw and garner attention. So pretty cool Concept. Nice addition to the Shepherdville area and a good place pr grab some authentic Mexican food.

    El Tara eco is a Mexican establishment located in a shopping center just off the expressway…read moreentrance of Shepherdsville Kentucky. Me and my oldest daughter came in here for a daddy daughter date for lunch on a Sunday around noon. We were seated immediately and greeted with friendly workers. Like most traditional Mexican eateries they start you off with complimentary chips and salsa. Which is always a plus. There chips and salsa were very tasty and the salads had a good flavor. Very similar flavor to another local favorite chain el nopal. For our entrees me and my daughter got something similar. I got the Pollo Feliz and she got the Fiesta Bonita. Whixh both consist of chicken, rice and cheese sauce. Only difference is hers also had shrimp and mine came with tortillas and refried beans. They both cost exactly the same so it's a push on price wise. We both liked our meals quite a bit. I took my tortillas and made 3 burritos and still had chicken cheese and rice left over to eat. So it's good portion size. Chicken had good flavor and unlike some places they do not skimp put on the cheese. My daughter also shared similar sentiments. She liked her meal a lot. So both good plates. Overall we had a nice time. Quick, accurate and tasty service. Indoors was pretty large and had a nice vibe. They had a tasty liking dessert menu but we was in a hurry on this trip as we had a recital to get to soon. So maybe next time we go we will sample the dessert menu.
