    I've ordered the Texas Parilla for two a couple of times now and it never disappoints!! The service is so quick and polite, it's always Wham Bam ready. This meal serves two adults and a hungry young son for a very economically priced cost. It comes with a platter of shrimp, steak and chicken with veggies (think mixed fajitas) and tortillas. Then you're also gifted chips and salsa hopefully this is the only Mexican restaurant in the area I've been to yet since moving here because it's so good!

    Very cute place, the interior is decorated well. Our server was very pleasant and nice…read more We started off with the queso and chips, which were good, but how can you make queso and chips bad, right? My entree was Shrimp a la Diabla (rice, corn tortilla). The tortilla completely fell apart while trying to eat them which was a bummer, but the shrimp were a decent size and had good flavor. I would come back to try other things, the menu is big and has a ton of options!

I'm sitting here scratching my head as why because at best, this is a 3-star place and barely at that. The food was okay but nothing to write home about. I've had much better Mexican food at other places. I ordered the Chori Pollo which is chorizo on top of grilled chicken with cheese and white rice. My order was taken down wrong and I ended being given something entirely different. They did end up making it correct for me. The horchata I ordered was really good and one of the better ones I've had from a place. My server was nice despite taking down my order entirely wrong. The interior is nice. It the music is absolutely too loud and constantly playing so you may need to talk a bit louder than usual if you want to have a conversation with anyone dining with you. I can't see myself returning to this establishment and one that I wouldn't recommend. I had to fight with flies the entire time I was dining which added to the rather displeasing time I was here. The prices for the food isn't too terrible and pretty standard if you've been to most other Mexican restaurants that have a similar menu. Do yourself a favor and find another, much better place for Mexican food than here.

But I felt La Lupita had slipped a bit. Initial service was excellent, we were greeted and seated promptly. Drinks were served and our order was taken. But once the food was brought to the table, our server was nowhere to be found. Refill for ice tea? Nope. We ordered one set of corn and one set of flour tortillas and got two orders of corn. It took us quite a while to find the server to get the error corrected. The complementary chips and salsa were way off. The chips were stale and they switched to a green salsa. Admittedly, a personal preference, but I liked the red better. My wife enjoyed her usual- camarones Mexicano. Served sizzling and perfectly done. I don't recall the mixed fajitas (my usual) as being so greasy. Again, served hot. Lots of peppers, onions, & grilled tomatoes. No jalapeños. I could have asked for some as a side and I'm sure they would accommodate. I also found it odd that La Lupita doesn't offer any beans other than refried. We asked for black beans or pinto or borracho. They're not offered. Yet they were able to serve refried black beans instead of the usual borracho or pinto refried version. Prices, inevitably, were up since our last visit. La Lupita is still a favorite for authentic Mexican food. We just caught them on an off day and it was still way ahead of most Mexican restaurants.

    Let's be clear, if all you know is Tex-Mex, this taqueria may disappoint. You won't find nachos,…read moreburritos, fajitas here. This is strictly Mexican food. And darn good at that. They start you with these funky fried crisps. No salsa or pico-but on the bright side you don't fill up with chips. Good thing, because the portions are ginormous! It's rare I can't finish a meal, but my shredded beef with mole was more than enough for a takeout box. I ordered the platter, so my meal came with rice and refried beans. We had the leftovers for lunch the following day. My wife ordered two alacart items. Shrimp cerviche and a chicken taco. Both well prepared. And as a side bonus, the tortillas were outstanding. I'm not a fan of corn tortillas, but these home made gems had flavor and didn't fall apart like packaged ones. Same with the crispy corn shells for the tostada. Great crunch and real flavor. Beer was served cold along with a frosted mug and a slice of lime. Everything is made to order. One fella was the chief, cook & bottle washer. And waiter. He speaks English when he sees you struggling with the menu. He made us feel very welcome. This is a down to earth diner that hasn't seen any updating since day one, but the food is excellent, the restrooms are clean and the service was perfectomundo.

    OMG, this place is fantastic!…read more I was lucky it wasn't busy when I arrived. I was welcomed in in a family style way. This made it more authentic. I was able to explore the menu but I knew I had walked in for a ceviche. Glad waitress clarified the typo on large shrimp ceviche's price, which immediately translated to honesty. Thei give you a complimentary savory broth with hints of seafood flavor and potatoes which is a welcoming opening. The flavor was excellent the tostadas are like home made non commercial, loved them. Their give you fresh lime or already squeezed natural lime juice. I had a campechano (mixed) taco and a pastor taco. Which they have for .99 on Tuesdays so I will be a regular on Tuesdays too. There is parking on the front and on one of the sides of the place. The team was quick with food, attentive to all needs and very professional and friendly. And the price value is amazing. There are many items I still have to try but it is in my top 3 list for Mexican food in Kentuckiana!

While Ramiro's may be new to Indiana, they have been around in Louisville for quite some time and decided to make the move here to Indiana in hopes of providing some Mexican food to the Downtown Jeffersonville area. The decor in Ramiro's provides a very relaxing vibe from traditional tables and chair to some very chic couches and chairs that allow you to come, grab some food and read a book or finish up whatever project you may be working on via your laptop. The food here is the real star of the show because every day is a special such as Tuesday's being $3 non-premium tacos such as chicken, steak or ground beef but for $2 more you can get a premium taco such as brisket and more. The tacos are all on a flour tortilla and I'm not sure if corn tortillas are an option (I didn't ask) but they have a lot to offer when it comes to the various toppings you can choose from. Ramiro's also offers quest and chips, elotes and also various alcoholic beverages from margaritas and more. I absolutely recommend stopping by here as they are spot on when it comes to the food and the service is very quick and easy. The owner is super friendly and has plans for a patio so that guests can enjoy their meal on a beautiful day. If you're ever in Southern Indiana or happen to be across the way in Louisville do yourself a favor and be sure to stop by for some very filling Mexican food.

I had told my grandson about the mole I had on our first visit, and he wanted to try it. My wife and I ordered tamales and my grandson ordered the Mole Oaxaqueno. I ordered a Michalada ($10.00). Not long after ordering the manager returned to our table and informed us they were out of tamales. That being the case, my wife ordered the Lunch Chicken Fajita which we were told was on special today. It's normally ($10.99). I ordered Tlayuda, which is basically a Mexican Pizza ($17.00). My wife had asked for a side of the mole sauce. My grandson was served his meal AND an extra plate of Chicken Mole. We all looked at each other like why did he get extra chicken mole. My wife received her Fajita, but no side of the mole sauce. Do you see where this is going? My grandson loved the Chicken Mole. My wife said the Chicken Fajita was bland with no seasonings. She did not like the Fajita. My Tlayuda was huge. However the base was a huge flour tortilla and it was grilled to the point it was like a piece of leather. You couldn't cut it nor chew it. It was terrible. IMO the Tlayuda is not worth $17. I would not order it again. My Michalada was good. So I get my check. My wife's Fajita was not on special we were charged the regular $10.99. The extra plate of Chicken Mole, which was supposed to be a small side bowl of mole sauce was charged as another meal. I did not challenge their misunderstanding of what we wanted because my grandson ate all of it. All in all, we would not reorder most of our meal. This restaurant charges a 4% surcharge for using a credit card, so I took cash to avoid the 4%. When I got my change it was a $5 bill with 14 one dollar bills. The server apologized and said that's all they had. If they're going to charge for using credit cards, they should have cash on hand to make change. Our love affair with this restaurant is quickly waning.

    I first saw a post on Facebook saying how great the food was. Then I went to the Yelp reviews and…read morepics. Ended up taking my mom there. I always determine if a Mexican restaurant is good by the taste of the rice and the rice blew me away. I want a gallon bucket of that rice! We ordered the chorizo taco and the Tlayuda which is the size of a medium pizza! Would be great for an appetizer for about 4-6 people. I ordered the chicken Verde enchilada meal and mom ordered the beef Verde enchilada meal. Also shared the chili relleno. You get 2 on the platter and even after it sat for a little while, the cheese still oozed out when I cut into it. Breading was excellent and once I got to the seeds inside, you got that little bit of heat. Mom is a chicken Mole fan so she got that and said it tasted like Grandma's. Drinks were strong. They do have a limited bar. Food is the best authentic Mexican around this area that I have had. This is our new go-to spot for authentic Mexican food. Our bill for everything was just at $100 and we left a nice tip. We will be back soon!
