    a half eaten plate of food
    Kat B.

    Pretty good little place. Our server seated us (away from yelling children) and took our drink order and answered questions promptly. I had the deluxe nachos and they were great. My husband enjoyed his burrito as well. I'd definitely stop by again if I was in the area.

    Yummy Mexican food!!

    After traveling around Harrodsburg we found this delicious Mexican place recommend by two other travelers we ran into during 127 yard sale. The food was spot on and highly recommend to stop by if your in the area!

    !!!Steak Taquitos!!!

    Fantastic Resturaunt with courteous attentive servers who are absolute pros! From the time you walk in the door they are attentive to providing the best dining experience possible! Food is quick to hit the table but the atmosphere invites you to take your time and enjoy. During Covid social distance dining is available as well as quick curbside pickup and delivery.

    Best Mexican restaurant in town! Great service and even better food! The workers there are so kind and always go above and beyond to serve their community.

    Definitely a staple in Harrodsburg. While I prefer the Chili Verde (chunks of pork shoulder in a green sauce), the Harrodsburg Special (grilled chicken, rice, and melted queso) is popular. Their salsa is different than many other restaurants as it is made without cilantro. If you want to explore something new, try the #26 Special (two chile rellenos filled with pulled pork, shrimp, and mexican sausage cooked in a red sauce and smothered in queso served on a cast iron fajita platter)!!

    $1 frozen margaritas! Very good too!!

    Ineditable. Both dishes were literally dripping with liquid. They were supposed to be burritos, not soup. Gross!

    Our server was spot-on with refills and getting more napkins (chili verde can get kinda sloppy if you use the tortilla eating method).

Salsa and chips quickly arrived. The salsa was so flavorful- chunky and not thin and watery like most places. Like it a lot. Server was attentive. I tried the authentic Mexican tacos that come with charro beans and my husband had Jalisco fajitas. The food came out fast and steaming hot. Large potions. Let me tell you that these were the BEST tacos I've had...and we eat a lot of Mexican food all over this state and other states. The charro beans were sooo dang good, I wish the bowl was bigger!! And these came with hamburger instead of the hotdogs chopped that so many places has. The notion bulbs were a nice added touch and delicious!! Husbands loved the fajitas. He said everything was seasoned and cooked perfectly. My only complaint... is that they do the salsa in one big bowl to share instead of the single bowls and you pour your own salsa from bottle. I hate that so many places have went to doing this and it's always a con for me. We will absolutely be back here when we are in the area!!

    Este es un restaurante increíble! My wife and I visited for the first time on a fairly busy…read moreSaturday night in May. Town was busy. This little gem is situated in the quaint, charming Civil War historical town of Perryville, Kentucky. It is literally just a few miles from the nation's most historically authentic, Civil War battlefield. There is on street parking as well as a small parking lot to the left of the entrance. Upon coming in the front door you are greeted by old fashioned, hardwood floors and a simple, yet amply stocked bar. You might even find yourself daydreaming about an old Civil War general sitting at the bar smoking a cigar and drinking a glass of bourbon. We were taken around the bar by the hostess and seated in the main dining room. The dining room is spacious and seating is comfortably situated. We chose a booth. I am a fairly portly individual and while I like the privacy of a booth, my belly is usually squeezed against the table for the duration of the meal. Such was not the case here. The booths are amply spaced for guys my size. Almost immediately, we were greeted by a genuine Latino waitress sporting a gentle smile. She got our drinks and brought us a basket of warm corn chips and salsa. The salsa had a mild bite and an excellent flavor profile. The first thing that genuinely grabbed my attention was the seven page menu on the table before me. Seven, I said that. The menu is rife with genuine and typical Latino entrees. This establishment also has an extensive pizza menu. I decided to try the pizza, while my wife decided to try a fajita entree. I ordered a three topping medium pizza. It arrived with liberal helpings of pepperoni, sausage and mushrooms, all enrobed in ooey gooey melted cheese. It was a good pizza. I suspect it may have been cooked in a wood fired oven. It had a subtle hint of mild smoke flavoring. It may have been the sausage too. My wife ordered a chicken fajita. It arrived sizzling as is customary with such a dish. It was served with the customary plate of beans and rice. We held the sour cream as my wife has a dairy allergy. She is also gluten intolerant and the waitress made sure that her fajita would be served with corn tortillas, not flour ones. The food was delicious. It was flavorful, served hot and pleasing to the palate. We did not order drinks, but while we sat there, margaritas in goblets the size of small goldfish bowls crisscrossed the dining room. They genuinely looked amazing. After finishing our main course, I observed a plate of decadent something cross the dining room. I stopped the waiter carrying it and asked about it. He told me it was churros and offered to get me some. I was already quite full, but looking across the dining room at that creation now perched on the other table, I had to have one myself. Four perfectly cooked churros, still warm, arrived at the table. Ice cream enthroned them with generous helpings of whipped cream. All drizzled with chocolate syrup. I said a quick prayer that today was not my day to contract diabetes and promptly downed that pile of decadent calories. It was delicious. The dining room itself is nicely decorated in geographically authentic decoration. It was not too hot, nor too cold. The dining room is ADA compliant. I did not need a restroom, so I did forget to check them on the way out. My only complaint, and it is a mild one, was how noisy the dining room got at one point. Being an old brick building, there is a bit of a din when everyone gets talking. Other than that, the dining experience was pleasant. The true "shock value" of the evening came when the receipt landed on my table. We enjoyed that entire meal for $38. The price point on their food is amazing! This is 2026. You'll spend more for the gas to get here than you will crowding your digestive track with these epic offerings! I was impressed to say the least. I checked the receipt and it all appeared to be there. We left as the dinner rush wound down. When we left some old codgers had bellied up to the bar and were engaged in conversation. You feel like you could get to know this town talking to them fellas. This establishment gets a five star review from me. The best part is that it is only nine miles from my home in the Kentucky countryside.

    Best place ever to eat. I especially love the Papa Fajitas meal! The staff is terrific. Hilda…read moreruns a great restaurant!
