    Veggie "fajitas"
    Audrey D.

    I had heard good things about this restaurant, but what I'd heard didn't match my experience. I always order fajitas; I ordered veggie and my companion ordered chicken & steak. What I got was grilled veggies. There was no fajita spices/flavoring. That was again true for my companion; she got grilled meat, not fajitas. Additionally, her steak was sooooo thin it was like deli meat thickness. Pathetic! Service was also subpar. They were busy, but I'm taking that into consideration. My companion ordered a margarita but was never asked if she wanted another (money lost!). I had to catch someone walking by to get a refill on my water. We wanted an extra dish of salsa, and I think part of the difficulty in getting it was a language barrier with one of the runners, it definitely wasn't with our server. There salsa was really good. I enjoyed it, but it still wasn't enough to make up for everything else. Definitely would not recommend.

    Combo fajitas. Beef was kind of a mystery. Way to thin and tough. Not like any beef I have ever had. Everything else was pretty good.

    We were given a very limited menu. The people across from us has the full menu. We order the combo fajitas because that was about the best thing on the menu we had to work with . I normally would have ordered Chile Verde or carnitas. portions not huge but ok. The beef ? Was so thin I thought they used Arby's leftovers. It was tough as well . The chicken was good until it cooled off . I loved the rice and beans and salsas . We have been there once before and we're not thrilled . The place we usually go was closed. It filled a hole and somewhat satisfied the Mexican food craving

    Paper thin steak fajitas

    This place has always been my favorite Mexican style restaurant, the best chips and salsa, and absolutely delicious grilled steak fajitas, with friendly service. But this has changed now. As you walk in they hand you a large menu and you stand there while they wait to place your order at the counter, which is awkward, then you're given a number to sit on your table They have runners who come over with chips and salsa, and then eventually bring your food, they didn't converse with us. The drinks are a self-serve station, plus that includes your own refills too. The steak in my fajita was cut paper thin and chewy. They've lost the friendly atmosphere, and sit down experience. Not sure wil be back.

    Not great, honestly. I've had better, but at the same time I've had worse, if you're feeling roguish go for it

    Woah! Pleasant surprise: There are four Mexican…read morerestaurants in Lebanon. This is the one to choose! Delicious food and great prices! I filled up on $6 enchiladas and a yummy frozen margarita! Ask for the salsa Verde! A little extra flavor and heat! Waiter was super friendly and easy on the eyes. (If you're a tourist on the bourbon trail, make your reservation for the 1-hr tour - or at least pop into the welcome center - at the ISC Kentucky Cooperage in the same strip mall! They make all of the barrels for 90% of Kentucky's bourbon! Huge, impressive operation!)

    We did not find many restaurants open in Lebanon on a Sunday night. That was okay as La Villa Rica…read moreturned out to be a good place to grab a meal. Located in a strip mall, it isn't much to look at on the outside. The inside isn't too different; however, we went there to eat, not to critique architecture. We had great service throughout our visit. The complimentary chips and salsa were refilled several times for our party. After we received our orders, the staff was good about checking to see if we needed anything else. Personally, I had the Chili Colorado meal. Of our party of six, I was the only one not entirely satisfied with my order. The beef was cut very thin, was overcooked and the sauce had been poured on the top of the overcooked meat. It didn't taste bad; it was just poorly prepared. Looking at the plates my dining partners had (pork verde, smothered chicken, fajitas) made me wish for a redo on my order. The prices for the meals and drinks were reasonable. Based on how packed it was, many locals obviously enjoy it (another local Mexican restaurant was open but empty). If I were to return to the area, I'd probably give it another shot.
