Uh yeah, this place is amazing, legit and no joke. Its just a small hole in the wall in a tiny strip mall but they are putting out some of the greatest Mexican food around. I had a lengua and chorizo taco, which were just huge and stuffed full of meat. I also had a pupusa with frijol and queso which was off the charts good. It comes with salsa but pro tip, use the provided hot sauces instead, so good! Service is lightning fast and the people working there couldnt have been nicer, there is a slight language barrier but the woman who took our order knew enough english to make it effortless. You are in for a treat, go and enjoy!! read more

Very decent Gordita, had better but its a little hole in the wall in louisville kentucky

Best.Torta.Ever. This is the epitome of hole-in-the-wall dive that you find that becomes the standard bearer of what amazing asada tacos, tortas, and gorditas are supposed to be. I got two meals out of the torta I ordered and my son also had to take home half his humongous burrito. AND AND AND the prices here are soooooooo good. read more

Amazing food. The tortas are filling and ive never been disappointed. I recommend 100%. Simple food with great flavor.

I was there for my first time. The place has excellent friendly service. Two ladies are prompt without being overwhelming. If need anything just ask, otherwise they let you enjoy your meal. The food taste was amazing. I tried tacos and a torta with hibiscus flavored water (jamaica). The place is very cleaned, social distancing in place and mask required to get in. Easy small plaza parking. I'll be coming back often. The value, service and experience are excellent. read more

I am a little hesitant to share because this is hands down my absolute favorite spot to order authentic tacos in Louisville. Please don't go flooding all at once. If you have been looking for tacos as authentic as the ones sold at Mexico City, this is your new spot. Amazing Asada tacos, Carnita, Chicharron, Chorizo, chicken. Also, many other delicious items in their menu like Pupusas, Sopes, and Huaraches! Get there with an empty stomach and try new things! Everything in the restaurant hits the spot. read more

This place doesn't look like much, but DEAR GOD, the food! Go when the Honduran ladies are cooking. The pollo con tajadas, baleadas, and pupusas are the best in town. And don't miss the tres leches cake! We tried caramel and pineapple and both were so good! They are made in house. I have also tried the gorditas (similar to arepas), and they are also wonderful - for everything you get, choose the asada (steak) which is both tender and crispy. The place is very busy on the weekends, but we often go Monday or Tuesday night when Nahely is working. She's a great server and will help you decide what to get if you are overwhelmed. read more

Because a good friend highly recommend this restaurant and since we were in the neighborhood, we decided to give a try. We ordered 3 carne asada tacos and ordered of 2 cheese and loroco (a type of eatable green flower) pupusas. (These are a El Salvador dish entree-a type of stuff tortilla) My husband had the tacos and he said that they were good. Plenty of meat and cilantro. My pupusas were a good size and very cheesy. Yum!! We also ordered a Medium Hibiscus drink. (This was a homemade drink.) Delicious!! They offered two other mexican drinks: Horchata and Pineapple flavor. These last two type were not homemade- the waitress admitted. The restaurant was small but clean and very friendly. Plenty of desserts, cakes and others options beside tacos. Totally recommend this small, unassuming but delicious restaurant if you are in the Preston HWY area. (KY) read more

Ok, again in Louisville looking for authentic Mexican food and BOOM found a good mix, now to be honest, seems to have a Salvadoran flair but it was very, very GOOD. Went at lunch time before the rush, because they got busy but not crowded. My wife ordered the Flautas and I had a Carné burrito, we both enjoyed some rice and beans in the side and each had a glass bottle of Mexican coke. The food presented well and tasted as good as they looked. Fresh made practically in front of you at the bar side open grill. My burrito had a white queso (cheese) sauce over it that just killed! The wife's Flautas were Crispy and full of flavor. I totally recommend you give this spot a try! read more

We ended up at this place almost by accident. Our family was going to eat at the nearby Koreana restaurant but they were still closed for renovations (the sign said closed till mid-September but it was already October). Rather than drive around town to find another Korean restaurant, we decided to check out what was in the neighborhood. A quick search on Google maps showed this place with some pretty good reviews. This is one of the rare occasions where it was probably a good thing I didn't look at the Yelp rating first (it was only 3 stars). This small eatery is in a nondescript strip mall. You walk up to the counter, order from the menu on the wall and find yourself a table. The place isn't much to look at but it was clean and the service was friendly and quick. "Torta loca" I think means "crazy sandwich", so I figured that might be their specialty. This is indeed one crazy sandwich! They are like paninis (toasted and slightly crunchy) but huge and have a filling that can contain various meats, melted cheese, tomato, lettuce, sauteed onions, refried pinto beans, etc. We ended ordering a number of different sandwiches including turkey, grilled chicken, and Hawaiian which had some pineapple in it. Despite some initial doubt on my part, these big sandwiches looked and tasted very good. Mind you, they were so big it was almost enough for two people but they were so tasty I finished mine completely anyway. My daughter had the enchiladas which she thought were good also. I also couldn't help but notice the tasty desserts in the glass case and despite being rather full from just finishing my sandwich, I just had to order a piece of tres leches cake. I just didn't want to deprive my kids of dessert of course :). We shared that piece of cake and boy was it good. One of the best tres leches I have had in a while. I broke my own rule of trying to cut down on sugar and dairy in my diet - it was worth it though. Despite it being a rainy Sunday evening, a steady stream of latin customers coming and leaving, while we were eating, confirmed the fact that this place serves some excellent food. I will definitely come by again in the future to get me some more torta loca and tres leches cake! read more

Breaks my heart to write this update. This used to be on of my favorite taquerias on Preston highway. If you have explored some of the taquerias on Preston you will know that is saying something. I drive by la torta Loca daily. I had not stopped in for a while until today. It became one of those places that was just there for me. I was busy indulging at el molcajete or taqueria mexicana or the new guy super mercado Guanajuato. La torta Loca just kind of got squeezed out of the rotation. Today I decided to stop in. 12:38 on a Thursday afternoon. I wasn't sure they were open. I went in and the space looks like it's going through a transition and not a good one. The wall menu has been pulled from the wall and rehung upfront. The menu seems to have changed a bit towards taco salads and (gasp) crunchy tacos. Also, I was the only customer. I ordered a burrito al pastor with everything. The first time I had al pastor here it was a game changer. Marinated pork layered on a vertical spit shawarma style with an onion and a pineapple on top. They don't seem to be doing that anymore. My al pastor was scooped off the flat top, mixed with rice beans and lettuce,topped with mozzarella and thrown into a styrofoam clam and placed into the microwave. I was a little apprehensive to say the least. My fears were realized. Hot spots here cold spots there. The worst part was the salsa rojo. It wasn't bad but it used to be one of the hottest sauces I've ever received from a restaurant. Not anymore. Hopefully some new management will get in here and save this place but I'm afraid their days are numbered. read more

If you want greasy Mexican food and bad service, this is your kind of place. You have to walk up to the lady at the register to place your order if you want fast service, if not you can sit at a table and hope for the best. I've been here a couple of times and they are usually nicer during the day but if you come at night there is this little girl who looks really annoyed when you walk up to the register to place your order. And the cook is nosy enough to rudely tell you they don't have or can't accommodate the food to your taste while the girl at the cash stand just stares at you. She's also rude and doesn't wash her hands when she scratches her head or butt... Eww... read more

THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST MANAGEMENT EVER! please don't go here if you have very low tolerance with lack of service, rudeness, etc. The BOSS needs to get a different license/job. Kicking customer out because they request a straw??? Because they request a plate TO EAT ON! There's this young girl, who works there and is very very rude. She will complain about you if you're asking "too much" And will get the owner to throw you out of their restaurant. We had order dessert "flan" that they had there, when we had ask for it, she came to our table, threw down the dessert and throw the spoon in our dirty plate, try to tell her boss were asking too much and was very rude. If I was the inspector I will have this place shut down and send them to waitressing class & management class. So they can learn how to treat their own customer nicely, instead of very rude and unprofessionall. My husband and I come there PLENTY OF TIMES, and tonight we're on edge. If I could rate this place with no stars I would've. Please be warn. read more

Their tortas are huge and the tres leches cake is awesome! The place is easy to miss because it's right next to two stores but if you're on Preston check it out. read more

I didn't encounter any bad service. The cubana torta is good, the tacos are authentic but average.

These guys make the best authentic Mexican food that I've ever had. A friend brought me here a few months ago and I was blown away by their Taco Al Pastor. Cilantro, onions, seasoned pork, and a double corn tortilla. Simple, not too greasy, the sauces are fairly hot (not for the average Whitey McGringopants), and the meat is extremely well seasoned. Since I have tried several other offerings and brought a ton of other people (I am evangelistic about this place at my work), and everyone has loved it (coworker- "It was a spiritual experience"). Now a note on the restaurant/order experience: this is not Chili's or Taco Bell, nor any other American chain-restaurant. If you want that experience, I suggest you go to one of the more decent Tex-Mex place like Chuy's. You usually order at the desk, it is advantageous to know a few Spanish words or be patient when ordering, and you might have to pick up your own tray from the counter. The wait on the food is usually around 8-10 minutes. I think the staff is friendly, and I have had great experiences dining in and taking out. All in all, this place is a gem, and I would highly recommend! And try the agua de jermaica! read more
