    Got a steak taco from here and the meat was spoiled, took one bite and it left me throwing up all night. I need at least 85 charachters to post but I have nothing left to say. Taco felt like it killed me. If you're having a bad day, make it worse and get this murder taco

    Place gets better every time and prices stay consistent. Love the shrimp & Masita de puerco tacos (corn tortillas). Service friendly and quick.

    Amazing food. Had the burrito and it was yum yum!! Thank you for welcoming us!! We had a big group and they did great with my crazy kids!

    We came here for Taco Week and I was pleasantly surprised. I started with a margarita as well as chips & queso while waiting on the rest of our group. Our waitress was great at us needing a bigger table and did an amazing job taking care of our party of 8. For tacos - I ordered the al pastor and the tinga. Both were packed with flavor. I really enjoyed the Al Pastor. I also ended up with a margarita to go. The only downside I could see is that the parking lot could be a bit difficult to maneuver when busy. Otherwise, a great dinner and I look forward to going back.

    The first time I came I gave a 5 star review but unfortunately now I have to give them a 1 star review based solely on the service. We got there around noon and it was 10 minutes before someone even acknowledged us. There were 2 servers just standing there so I asked if someone could take care of us. After getting our drinks, we had to wait another 15 minutes to order our food and our server seemed annoyed. 5 minutes later, our food came out which tells me it wasn't fresh at all. After we paid, we sat and spoke for a bit longer and someone who I guess was the manager came to us and said if we needed anything else and I said we were good. He said that other people were needing the table....note that there was absolutely no one waiting for a table either inside or outside. We've never had anyone say something like that to us before. I used to work at a 5-star restaurant and people would sit for hours at a table and you could never tell them something like that. Needless to say I will not be returning or recommending this place.

    Three, very full tacos

    This restaurant and I started off in full agreement because I, too, love tacos. Thankfully, we found no reason to disagree! I was tempted by the burritos and tortas (I haven't had a torta in so long...), but wanted to go with the titular item and try a variety. The tacos here are on 6" corn or flour tortillas and priced around $3.50-$5 each. There's a nice variety and each had a nice flavor mix and was full of fresh ingredients. I was expecting more of a countertop, paper wrapper kind of place, but I Love Tacos is sit down, full service. Speaking of which, service was excellent! I'll be back to try out one of those tortas.

    Once you get here (the parking lot is tight!) it's hard to not love I Love Tacos! They've got very colorful and bright Hispanic decor, TVs in strategic spots that allow game watching on the side, and a huge menu of tasty treats! We had the Chips and guac to start, which come w hearty chips (not light and flaky if that's your thing) and a nice bowl of guac. We're kinda guac snobs, so if we had to change it we'd add a little more lime as it was a little on the bland side. 4/5. The tacos we had were soooo tasty, some of the best we've had in the area (and we frequent taco shacks) for amount of taco and flavoring w plentiful meats, marinades and sauces. We had the cochinita pibil, shrimp (not pictured by us) and tinga tacos. I'd rank them in that order as they were each tasty, and totally different flavors. All were very hearty tacos, and one really would have filled me up, but I wanted to sample....who's gonna invent the mini taco taster?? They also have tofu tacos and cauliflower tacos!! (Didn't try those...I'm a carnivore) Can't wait to come back, this place definitely needs a few visits (and maybe another location??). just to taste some of the many menu options there. After your first visit, you'll already be thinking of what you'll try next time!! Muey bueno!!

    I Love Tacos is one of our go-to spots for delicious food! My usual is the Burrito Love, and of course, I have to have a swirl margarita to wash it down with.... and I can't forget about their chips and queso The burrito is big enough to split in half or just eat half of it and take it home for another meal.

    I hate giving out one stars especially to places trying to stay above water during this covid pandemic. But I was extremely disappointed in this establishment. We came here on a Friday afternoon around 6pm. Parking lot was kinda full. They have very little space in there parking lot. I'd recommend backing into a spot. We literally had to get out and adjust 10 times before leaving because the two rows of parking are so close to each other it makes it very hard to back out there especially as the lot fills up. Outside they had seating and a live band. So that was cool to see as it been a long time since seeing that due to the covid pandemic. Inside had plenty of seating so we got a seat right away. They hand you paper menus and tell you to seat yourself. So we sat down and that began maybe the worst service I've had at any place in my life. The waitress approaches and takes our drink order. the wife and I got a water. My oldest daughter said I'll take a Pepsi or a coke. The waitress said said we only have Mexican sodas and brings her out a bottles coca-a-cola. A few moments later I get up to use the restroom and in the middle of the establishment is fountain sodas with Pepsi products. I asked a nearby worker if it shut down due to covid? He said "no it's open and self serve on refills". I asked him why the waitress would give my daughter a non refillable bottle with fountain sodas available? The guy gave me a cup and told me to go ahead and get a fountain soda. He ensured there wouldn't be a double charge. Although on my bill they did only charge for the bottle. The bottle costs more than fountain sodas. So damage was done. Further more she asked if we wanted mild or hot sauce with our chips and salsa. So like most Mexican establishments I assumed chips and salsa was complimentary. But nope when I checked my bill there was a charge. The chips and salsa arrive literally less than a minute before our entrees. So we didn't get to sample it much. To me the chips were cold and stale. The salsa had solid spice and kick to it with good flavor. Chips not so much. For our entrees the wife and I got the chicken burrito. I got mine with queso and hers without queso. My oldest daughter got the I love burrito taco bowl thing. Basically a taco salad. The food did come super quick. I was not a fan of my burrito. The queso was very creamy and rich tasting. It was ok. The pico in the burrito was loaded with onions that was Overbearing. My daughter taco salad was loaded with them too. It took away a lot of the good taste and flavor of the rest of the entree. Also on our burritos was very sweet sauce on top of the burrito. I did not like it. My wife wasn't a fan either. I personally would never order the burrito again. The rice and chicken In It was good. The rest not for me. The wife and daughter overall was satisfied with there plates. After getting our food super quick. It took over 25 minutes to get our bill. When our waitress came she had a mobile device like a tablet to take payment. She told me price and was ready to take my payment. I asked her if I could see it so I can see the bill. And that's where I recognized I was being swindled for the chips and salsa which we didn't really get to eat and where I verified I only got charged for one cola. I really was hoping to enjoy this place. But everything was a huge let down from the parking lot, to the service, and to the food. I'm usually pretty open Minded but I left this place so disappointed and with great regret. My biggest regret is I still tipped the waitress 18 percent. As bad as she was it hard for me to shaft someone on a tip. So I guess her garbage technique of charging me on two extra things worked tonight. Hopefully it was just a bad experience for me and it was a fluke experience. They won't make it far with service like this.

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!!
