    Great enchiladas!

    Great food, excellent service. Food is always hot and fresh. Facilities are the cleanest I've ever seen!

    Specials day before Valentine's Day

    Great night before Valentine's Day. We got the pork chops dinner special. Two THICK pork chops w/rice and beans, tomatilla sauce, and tortillas (per person).. buy one for $16, other discounted $7. Roughly $12.50 each. SO worth it!!

    Stopped at El Nopal off the beaten path coming home from a weekend at Lake Rudolph. Typical El Nopal experience- quick and reliable Mexican food.

    El Burro Grande! HUGE!

    Typical Mexican restaurant. Quite busy on a Tuesday night around 7:30. We had a few minute wait. I rated a four because I wasn't too impressed, nor was I unimpressed. Chips and salsa. Lots of queso! Tuesday night special... buy one, get one free Gold margaritas. However - you must have them on the rocks. No frozen!

    It's a typical Mexican restaurant nothing notable to one degree or another. I do like that they offer separate small bowls for salsa and they offer a hot along with mild. The menu is to much typical of Mexican restaurant way to many things. I asked the waiter if there was any dinner sampler platters and he was confused did not speak very good English but was polite and mostly attentive. We had four in the group and no complaints on taste or quality or quantity. It was average Mexican cuisine, the dining room was clean and they had extra napkins on the table. I would eat here again staff was friendly and courteous.

His ground beef burrito was similar. Very little flavor. Very little tomato or lettuce on the burritos . As far as the ambience goes, there is none. The lighting is fluorescent lighting on the ceiling and it's just too bright in there. They should consider pendant lighting with some warm lightbulbs to give it more ambience. I don't think we'll be back..

    Love this place and though that I enter the review previously but apparently I did not. Our first…read moretime here was last summer coming home from Holiday World and needing to stop to get something to eat with the little man. He ate two tacos and I got the pork carnitas dinner and hubby got the carne asada dinner. We were all stuffed full and happy with our meals. Went for lunch this week when they had their Taco special and you could get any taco for 2. 99 each. I ended up getting three tacos but should have stopped it too because I was way over stuffed. Looking back now I have no idea how little man ate two whole tacos these things were huge! I got the birria taco, carne asada, and the al Pastor. The al pastor was my favorite and had fresh diced pineapple and pickled onions. It was delicious! I also love the sauces they give you. There is a red sauce that's a bit spicy and a green sauce which is a little less spicy. They both add a lot of flavor. I travel here a lot now so this will definitely be a regular stop!

    Fairly small taco shop in town. Was very busy Monday at 6:30pm…read more Service was fast. I'd say so so on prices. I expected it to be a little cheaper in Corydon but it was about the same for tacos that I pay in Columbus, OH. The elote however was crazy cheap at -$3 and was fantastic. Chips were so so. Sals was pretty spicy but I like spice and it was good resturaunt thick puree style. Taco al pastor was terrific. Pork was well seasoned and juicy tender. Toppings and corn tortilla were awesome. Beef hard shell taco was so so. The shell was great and you could tell made in house. The beef had no flavor. My two biggest issues: the taco was tiny. They serve in laying on its side. So I had to reassemble it. Beer was cold and reasonable price. Overall would recommend and visit again.

    Best Mexican food we have had in a long time! Service was excellent!…read more Salsa & chips also really good!

    Great Food and Service but Payment and Billing System Needs an Update…read more (3.5 Stars ) Mi Viejo is one of the only good restaurants in the Carrollton area aside from the fast food restaurants in the area, Whenever I'm in the Carrollton area I eat here at least once. So far on my visits, the food has been great and the service has been pretty good too. The only issue I face is when I have to get an itemized receipt for business expenses. On my last visit, I asked for an itemized receipt right when I sat down and the server came over. The server assured me that he could do it as I have had this issue on all of my previous visits. Once I ate my delicious perfectly made meal, I again asked for an itemized receipt. The server disappeared for over ten minutes and I had to go to the counter. At the counter they gave me a tiny receipt to show I paid and tipped but no itemized receipt. Again the person at the counter disappeared for another ten minutes as I guess they thought I would just go away. Finally, a manager came out and redid my whole bill and gave me a printed receipt with separate charges for what I ordered but no item description. I guess this is the best that they can do. I do recommend they modernize their POS as since there are several industries in the area, I can't be the only person who has to submit receipts for business expenses. Aside from these ongoing issues, the food is always on point and servers do the best they can.

    It had been quite a while since our last visit, but we were nearby and decided to stop for lunch…read more La Lupita remains frozen in time, same '60's vibe with laminate tables, wood paneling and paper decorations. 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.
