The green Holy Mole food truck was one of the first on the scene two or so years ago, and the fact that they are still around isn't really a surprise: Their tacos are so darn good! Let me elaborate. To start, they have excellent tortillas. They appear to almost be double layered, but when you munch into them they are soft and appropriately take second fiddle to the filling. As a friend put it, they're strange voodoo tortillas that keep the meat and veggies adequately encased but are also not too chewy at the same time. So after you get through the tortillas, your taste buds come into contact with the delicious fillings. On my most recent trip to this truck, I got three tacos: fish, chorizo and pork. The nice guy in the truck recommended the pork to me, but I actually preferred the fish and chorizo more. And each have their own distinct taste. You won't find the proteins doused in the same salsa and spices here. I also got plantains on the side with my recent order. I probably shouldn't have gotten them because the tacos left me so full, but the plantains were worth the packed tummy. And at about $10 for the order, the price can't be beat. Holy Mole is also pretty quick with getting orders out, which is definitely a plus. And these guys get around. I love that I can count on finding and eating from this truck regularly.

What a pleasant surprise! Walked over to 1st and Washington to try the sausages at Busta Grill and noticed a bright green food truck around the corner. Immediately I was confronted by the perplexing problem: Holy Mole or Busta Grill? Then the best solution became increasingly clear in my mind: eat at both! On this occasion there were four taco options: bbq beef, pork, fish and falafel. All of the tacos were $3.00 a piece and came on 6-inch tortillas. I opted for the bbq Korean beef and the pork (chorizo). The beef taco was quite tasty and was a perfect example of "fusion" food, 4-stars. The chorizo was good, but not all that special. I could probably get better chorizo tacos from Las Gorditas, 3-stars. Some of the ladies in line recommended the fish tacos, but I needed room in my stomach for an entree from Busta Grill so that will have to wait for next time. The extras included: cheese, sour cream, pickled onions, cilantro, radish, chipotle slaw and of course a lime on the side. I only opted for onions and cilantro with my pork taco, but I wish I had added some of the chipotle slaw. (Since he doesn't charge for the extras, I'll let them bump the rating up to 4-stars.) Overall Holy Mole was good and definitely left me wanting to try their other tacos. If you've had authentic Mexican tacos before, stay away from their pork tacos. They're good, but nothing special. Use your money and your stomach space to try some of their options.

Chicken, chorizo and tofu/kimchi taco NOMS
Stephanie S.

I've never been to the freestanding restaurant, only to the food truck. If you are the owners, please visit close to Watterson Towers anytime/all the time!!! I love tacos, I actually live for them on work days! 2-3 corn tacos filled to the brim with delicious innards gets me PUMPED UP!! And full. I had the "chorizo" taco (which is basically a spiced up beef), chicken taco and a tofu/kimchi taco. I'm not a huge kimchi person because the ones I have had sucked. BUT this tofu/kimchi taco has me thinking that I just hadn't of found the right kimchi! Packed full of flavor, but lighter than, say, a deep fried taco? All mine were gluten free (yasss) and including a bottle water, I paid only $11 for my lunch! I was full for several hours, as these bad buys are crazy filling! If anyone knows a way to keep up with where the truck is at, I would really appreciate it! I want these tacos again sometime!

The Tofu/kimchi taco here = Best taco I've ever had. Seriously. No joke. Just wish I didn't have to find the truck every time I want one. :( I've tried making them at home, but to no avail.

Today the truck was at Gallrein farms in Shelbyville. Service was fast. There were several choices and all were 3 tacos for $12 which seemed slightly on the high side for street tacos. I asked if I could mix and match selection and was told no. Since they all are 3 for $12 I'm not really sure why that isn't an option? I went with beef tacos. The beef was strip variety. Tacos arrived fast but were cold and chewy. Taco shells were corn soft taco variety but were overall dry. My wife ordered the Korean tofu tacos and she thought they were ok but not amazing. So overall I would rate experience 2.5 stars but since mixing and matching tacos was not an option I rounded down.

Chorizo, fried fish, pulled pork
Katie S.

Fantastic chorizo and fried fish and pulled pork tacos. Fresh corn tortillas, quality dressings, and good flavor. I wanted more dressings, I like a messy taco but I guess when your eating it with your hands it's too much, ha. I also wish there was a 2 taco option - oh I ate all three, but I knew 2 would have done the job.

Authentic Cuban food at least it seems like. Cool vibe, great service, and food is terrific…read more Check it out.

Whenever we asked someone to recommend somewhere to eat, they invariably would say La Bodeguita. I…read moream not exaggerating, every single person. We were leaving for the second leg of our trip and were running late, as usual. We decided to run across the street for a sit down lunch, what's another hour? Two smiling faces greeted us at the door. They offered a high top but my hip was absolutely not digging it nor a table up the flight of steep stairs. Once seated, we were greeted promptly and had water in front of us almost immediately. We each ordered soup and then a sandwich to share. I had the Sopa de Pollo . A hot bowl thick with thin noodles and lots of chunks of chicken. The chunks were too big to eat without being cut up which was a challenge in a bowl of broth. It was so hot that I had to wait a while to try it and even then had to blow on it. It was delicious. Unless the soup is your meal, order a cup. I still took nearly a pint of soup back with me. My husband ordered the Frijole Negro - a huge bowl of black beans that was served with a large pile of raw onions on top. Like the chicken soup, it was burn your mouth hot and a very large serving. He said it was good but he'd not order it again. Moving on to the sandwich. We had the Cubano. I'm not even going to describe it - just trust me - order the Cubano. Do not look at the rest of the menu - order the Cubano. Don't even bother looking at the ingredients, just order the Cubano. Have you ordered it yet? Do it already. The Cubano is huge. We split one half and had the other when we arrived at our next stop. Do consider that we had soup first; otherwise, we'd have eaten the whole thing. The accompanying plantain chips were worthy of their own review. They were wonderful. Who knows if and when we'll be back to Louisville but when we are, La Bodeguita will be the first place we stop. BTW, have you ordered the Cubano yet? What are you waiting for? Put your phone done and order it! Enjoy!!

The dinner…read moreconsisted of 5 themed courses to accompany the show, and the food was delicious and presented well. Favorite course was the grilled shrimp followed by the lamb chop. Table conversations and singing were expected during the show and added to the festive atmosphere, but the noise level was oftentimes at a moderate level which impacted our enjoyment at times. It also coincided with the 3rd to 4th glass of paired wine with the courses, so we weren't all that surprised. Haha! An opening cocktail or two and 5 glasses of wine (estimated 4 to 6 ounces) over an approximate 2 to 3-hour period lends itself to a raucous evening. I opted prior to the dinner to skip the wine pairings and was supposed to have my bill adjusted by $20 less, but noticed when I got home that this didn't happen. A 20% gratuity is also automatically added to each bill. Looking forward to September's dinner and a movie, Birdcage! Scheduled over 5 nights, 9/11 to 9/15. Photos attached with menu and contact info for reservations, although we've found it's easier to visit in person to achieve a much faster response (Friday and Saturday already sold out!) We were also told that this might be the final dinner and a movie since the very talented event coordinator is departing soon. We are hopeful she will return to manage the events or that someone else will pick up the baton and continue on with such a wonderful experience.

My son goes to school in Louisville and we've been meaning to try this place for a couple of years…read more Stopping by on a Saturday afternoon and was not disappointed. The chicken was seasoned perfectly and the meat was tender and juicy. The only sad part was there weren't any fries available. Other than that, we will certainly be back.

Sometimes, while visiting towns, you have to ask a local where to eat. Some suggestions work out,…read moreand others don't. Well, my buddy, Karl, had a pretty good suggestion for a recent trip to Louisville. My wife and I stopped by Yummy Polo to give it a try. Yummy Polo is a Peruvian-style charcoal-fired rotisserie chicken, slowly char-broiled and paired with southern-style mouthwatering sides--big flavors, big servings, designed to hit anyone's spot. I had the Half dark chicken with cilantro rice and chickpeas. The rice was cooked well, buttery, and had a hint of salt. I wasn't getting much cilantro flavor, but it was still tasty. The chickpeas were tender but still had a nice chew to them; the sauce they were cooked in had some subtle heat on the back end, and the dish needed a little salt. The chicken was very tender and juicy, and it was a good-sized portion. The skin was the star of the show; it was crispy and popped from the salt and spices. My wife and I both agreed that we could eat just a plate of the skin by itself. My wife tried the Half white chicken with chicken fried rice and green beans. The rice was cooked well and had a good flavor, but this dish tasted as if it had been sitting out for a while. The green beans were cooked perfectly, neither mushy nor overcooked, and they had a mild yet pleasant flavor, with a hint of sweetness on the finish, which was unexpected but not unwelcome. The chicken is where it was--tender, salty, juicy, and packed with flavor. Again, the skin was the star of the show and the money. Each dish was served with a green sauce and a mayo sauce. The green sauce was likely cilantro-based, adding a hint of heat to the dish, while the mayo sauce was creamy and sweet. The real trick was to mix them, which offered the best of both worlds and made a fantastic bite. The flavors, juiciness of the chicken, the crunch of the skin, and those sauces, that is the stuff dreams are made of. Yummy Polo offers their chickens in quarter, half, or whole portions. They have several sides, most of which are in a southern style. They offer a selection of desserts and various bread options. The restaurant is small; if there is a line, it's worth the wait. They also offer several varieties of soda and teas from a cooler or a Pepsi fountain machine. The Fat Man says that Yummy Polo is Fat Man Approved with 2 chins.

Arrived here for a midafternoon meal for a first time visit and kicking myself for not dining here…read moremuch, much sooner. Looking forward to return visits, especially earlier for the brunch menu (available until 3 PM) since I want to try the chilaquiles. I had the cochinita pibil tacos during this visit with a side of rice and beans (selected refried, option of black beans) and food was terrific. The two tacos were doubled corn tortillas generously filled with tender flavorful pork and topped with pickled red onions and a spicy sauce on the side to customize to personal preference. My fellow diners tried burgers, fries, and chicken quesadillas. Everyone was complimentary of their items and each said they would return after this 1st time visit. Service was great -- efficient, attentive, and friendly. Restaurant was bright, clean, and cozy. Free parking available down the street with a 1/2 block walk or can opt for paid parking closer to the restaurant for about $3 per hour (via direct credit card, coins, or use a text app for pay via phone).

The veggie ceviche is truly spectacular - this cylindrical stack of avocado, corn, jicama, jalapeno, pickled red onion, mango, cucumber, red onion, and pico de gallo is marinated in a delicate lime vinaigrette and served with bottomless, crispy, beautifully-seasoned tortilla chips. Big win. The plantains are also glorious - definitely order these. -Pricing: reasonable for the quality/quantity/service. -Goodness: friendly, knowledgeable staff, plenty of seating, festive decor, DELECTABLE food. -Areas to improve: more plant based menu choices, more transparency regarding ingredients in the more obscure dishes (allergens specifically).

!!! NEW FAVORITE RESTAURANT ALERT!!!…read more Wow. This is legitimately the closest I have been to tearing up at a meal. My husband discovered this place when he was perusing on Google Maps looking for something else. This was the happiest accident and I could not be happier we visited. I am from Venezuela and this is place is legit. They have foods that other Venezuelan places in the area don't offer, and varieties that are authentic and far better (the empanadas!!). I got the mandocas (plantain and corn horseshoe-shaped fritters), cheese and potato pastelito (like a cross between a pizza pocket and a pierogi, but better in every way), arepa pabellon, and a beef empanada. Everything was sublime. These empanadas are different than ones you may be used to, since they are corn based instead of wheat based, making them many levels better than you can imagine. It was very nostalgic experience. Even without the nostalgia, the food is that good, and so worthwhile heading over here. There's so much more on the menu I wanted to try. Guess I'll have to come back! The staff was wonderful, and the atmosphere inside was joyful, with beautiful murals. Highly, highly, highly recommend!
