    Steak torta
    Sunny S.

    Absolutely amazing service, staff and most importantly food!! Everyone was fantastic, everything we ate was delicious and we ATE!! Our friends had the Wet Burrito and the Enchiladas Verdes, they raved about it!! I had the steak torta and let me tell you it was the best one I've ever had and I've had quite a few. My guy had the carnitas tacos and devoured every last bite! Get the Cantarito drink, it is so refreshing and fantastic! I cannot say enough great stuff about this place! It was very clean and the staff was fun!! When in the area, we will be back!! Thank you for such a great experience!

    Delicious, authentic, fast, and attentive. From the oven-hot chips and salsas to the extensive menu, we were impressed from start to finish! We will travel the 45 minutes to experience here again!

    Tasty food, homemade corn tortillas, friendly service, very cheerful and colorful interior. Wish they were in Lexington!!

    Menudo and seasonings.

    Superb, authentic Mexican food with generous portions and friendly service. The best menudo that I've ever had.

    When looking for this location just look for the church next to it. The sign doesn't stand out and you might just miss this hot spot. I am a huge fan of my mothers cooking. Growing up I had, Mole, barbacoa and menudo. I've tried them all at so many places, but they just don't seem to get it right. I'm guessing because they make them in a hurry or cut corners abs just all in all don't care. But when I sunk my teeth into the barbacoa tacos I was taken back in time to when my mom would cook them for me when I was a child and what trip it was! It's like I was back home eating freshly made tortillas with barbacoa. It's the kind of feeling that make your whole body do a happy shake. You know the kind. When you have just hit that spot in your belly , mouth and mind. The mole was soo on point that I ate it all! I licked the plate clean. Yes I licked it clean. That's how good it was! If you have never had mole then you are missing out. Then again it is an acquired taste. If you want to make the drive out to this little divine place where the food taste like it was made with a little love, the. This is your place. Now if your wanting to visit on a Sunday be prepared to wait over an hour. It's small little destination restaurant. But it's so well worth the wait. You could always go during the week where it's not so busy and you can be in and out. This place may be small but the taste of the food packs a punch in your mouth so good it will leave you wanting more. I mean I did. I've been back 3 times already and having it for dinner tonight. If your looking for authentic food, then this is your place! If your still not sure based on Thai review then just go and try it out for yourself. Your mouth will thank me! Also take care of the servers as they work so hard to take care of you.

    Chicken mole and pozole.

    We had the most authentic chicken mole and pozole. The tortillas are hand made and excellent tasting thick tortillas. The carne asada is tasty and the salsa is really good. Great place to eat. Friendly atmosphere and great service!! We are from California and my wife is Mexican and we love this place!

    The BEST Mexican Cuisine I've ever had! Far and away the others aren't even close! We will be back several times. We went again last Tuesday and this time I asked for a large Chimichanga and asked for cheese sauce over the top and red sauce over one end and green sauce over the other end, she said no problem. Best Chimichanga I've EVER had! Going back today and every Tuesday.

    What a wonderful meal and experience!…read more My husband and I were in town on vacation and stopped in for some Mexican. Although they were busy, we were greeted and seated immediately. Our waiter took our orders and immediately brought chips and salsa. Our food came out quickly. It was delicious and everything was hot and flavorful.

The service is on top of everything and extremely quick which I appreciate.

It felt like since our main dish was finished they were finished serving.

    It hurts to hit the three star review but our most recent visit was very sub par…read more We came hungry and ready to unwind with a margarita, it was the cinco de mayo holiday and we wondered if there were any specials. We were told no, but there was a sign on the door showing free queso for the day of May 5. So we ordered two margaritas at $10 a piece, asked about the free queso and was then told oh yes it is free, and then ordered tacos to share. The margarita was served in a hot (fresh out of the dishwasher) glass, the rim was not salted and with five melting ice cubes. The mix concentrated at the bottom and the tequila added on top. It was not a good margarita, and my husband's was the same. The queso came out and it was like warm and still cold around the edges but hot in the core. The tacos were delicious. So it was a conflicting visit, as we were given the check I noted it charged for the queso. As I went to pay I noted the queso price and inquired about it being free for the day. He said oh yes if you mentioned it, then it gets taken off. That didn't sit with me well, because not everyone may question it. All in all we have come here a lot over the years and had some great times but maybe this is not the best place for the cinco de mayo holiday. It may be awhile before we are back again.

Do your best to avoid Chamoy Ricos in Shelbyville. The photos speak for themselves but I'll elaborate. The first photo was my order... the second was what I actually got. I did professionally reach out prior to this review and was told basically she found no error. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed with the cake I picked up on 11/01/25, as it fell far below my expectations. When I placed the order, I confirmed the pickup time would be 11:00 a.m., which was agreed to. An hour before pickup, owner reached out asking to change the time to 11:30 a.m. -- which I completely understood. I even assured her that I could come at 12:00 p.m. instead to give extra time. I am a mom of 3 (15, 5, 1), I completely get it! I arrived at 12:05 after a 45-minute drive, but the cake still wasn't ready. When I arrived, she mentioned that it wasn't finished because of a "rush" at opening -- but there was no one there at the time, and I wasn't sure why the cake hadn't been prepped prior to opening, especially since it was a scheduled order. She kindly offered my two girls (ages 1 and 5) cake pops while we waited, but by the time the cake was finished -- nearly 12:55 p.m. -- they were restless and not feeling well, so we quickly left once it was handed over and didnt take a super good look as I was trying to prevent her helper from destroying the cake trying to box it. What made the delay even more frustrating was that she downplayed the situation by mentioning that my daughter's party wasn't until the next day, which made it feel like my time -- and the importance of her event -- weren't valued. Regardless of when the party was, the agreed-upon pickup time was important and should have been honored, especially considering the long drive and the effort it took to accommodate the schedule changes due her lack of accountability. When I got home about 45 minutes later, I placed the cake in the refrigerator and only took it out the next morning for the party. That's when I noticed it was extremely lopsided, the image was not what I had ordered, and the color was completely different from the example I provided. Mind you SHE sent me the orignal design as one she had done before. I've attached photos showing both the cake I received and the cake design that was requested, so you can clearly see the difference. Initially my quote was $100. I told her i did not need a large cake with fruit or fillings and she changed the price to $50 for a smaller nonfilled cake. Despite being clear that I wanted plain cake with no fillings, the cake was filled with hard sprinkles. Some were large and unchewable, which became a choking hazard for my children and guests at the party. The birthday girl already struggles with certain textures. Even worse than that, there were several red smoothie type straws stuck inside the cake at random spots -- not only unexpected, but they made the cake impossible to cut properly. When I tried to remove them, the cake collapsed and fell apart, making it unservable. The icing was uneven -- almost an inch thick on one side and thin on the other -- and the image decorations were lifting off. They were supposed to be edible but didn't dissolve. The color was supposed to be pale pink but was instead coral. Overall, it looked rushed and unfinished. My daughter didn't even get to enjoy her own birthday cake, which was heartbreaking after how much excitement she had for it. For a $50 order, this was a huge disappointment. I'm normally a big supporter of small businesses, but this experience reflected poor communication, lack of accountability, and a product that simply wasn't what was promised. It felt like the order was rushed together last minute instead of completed with care. I attempted to resolve with owner respectfully but instead she blocked me mid conversation, so here we go. Is it me? Am I the problem? Please share. #chamoyricos #labubu #cake #5yearoldbirthday
