Visited 26 July 2023…read more Cafe Atlantico was a short distance from Hilton Royal Palm, so we decided to walk there for breakfast since the sun wasn't fully out, and it was still cool. The walk was less than half a mile and took less than 10 minutes. Upon arrival, we were unsure what the process was, so we asked the lady at the cashier. She informed us that we would order and pay, and then the food would be brought to us. After deciding what we wanted, we ordered our food for dining in, paid - cash only, then seated ourselves. After the food was ready, it was brought out to our table.  My man had the ham, cheese, and eggs, with added bacon and light butter on a baguette. I had bacon, cheese, and eggs, with added avocado and light butter, also on a baguette. For beverages, he had coffee, and I opted for black tea. The beverages were very hot!! The place seems to be popular for their baked goods. While we were there, a few people came in and out for the baked items. Our sandwiches were good except the butter was so melted that it was dripping from the sandwiches all over the plate. That also indicated that it wasn't lightly applied. Maybe next time we'll try something other than the baguette. At first, the two employees didn't seem friendly, but after chatting with them, they were very pleasant. They must have been really busy prior to us arriving. One thing I did not notice was a bathroom on the property. But, since neither of us needed to use the bathroom, we didn't ask. One could very well be there. It is a quaint little business that seems to do good with baked items. They even have free wifi, which seems to be a big trend for most businesses on the island. Breakfast was good, and I'd recommend it.

Since this place opened about eight months ago, my family and I have eaten here at least 20 times every time has been amazing. Not only do they have lots of good Tex-Mex items on the menu. They have a lot of really good genuinely authentic Mexican food that many might not be familiar with. Their selection of authentic street tacos is not to be missed. My favorites are the pastor and barbacoa. Nor is there pork chili verde or their tortas. Their birria is amazing too. They make homemade chili Verde and chili bowl hot sauces that are serve served on every table and they are literally incredible. They also have the best salsa for sure in eastern Kentucky. Their staff are some of the most genuine nicest people I have met. Some of them don't speak, particularly good English, but the service is very attentive and they're always willing to suggest tasty items on the menu. I literally love this restaurant.

My…read moretop-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality and I stopped by here for dinner last Wednesday on a pretty muggy, rainy evening on our way from the SE Appalachia section of KY to Irvine, KY. It was conveniently located right off 15, and despite the meh weather, the place was easy to spot largely because there were a lot of cars in the parking lot - a compliment to the restaurant and its food, or the only game in town? Based on our experience, probably a little bit of both. Definitely does have the roadhouse vibes; it's very spacious and kind of dark in there, with a bar to the right of the entrance and the vast majority of the acreage dedicated to a large dining area on the left. We were seated immediately and after the meal took advantage of the cool map situation by the bathrooms where, if you requested a pushpin from one of the employees, you placed it on the map to show where you came from. Already oodles of NJ representatives on there, which is unsurprising. The random North Dakota pushpin was a bit of a shock, but I guess they travel too. The menu was pretty large but I was immediately drawn to the Fried Catfish w/ Hush Puppies entree, along with the tater skins app, which our waitress went out of her way to compliment. The Catfish was decent; as you can see from the accompanying picture, it was a huge portion and I took a sizeable chunk of it to go (where I think I eventually threw it out because it's not really road trip friendly). Coincidentally (or not, given where we were in the country) I'd had some hush puppies the night before at a hotel in Blacksburg, VA, and these were better. Those others were over-fried but also had mac and cheese stuffed in them, so these basically had better texture but not as much flavor. The mac and cheese was a real low point, unfortunately. Not dissimilar to the hush puppies, they were super tasteless and a bit watery. They had a bit of breading/crumb topping, but it really didn't do anything to improve the situation - definitely something for them to work on. The taters were just okay; usually the issue with them is that they're in the deep fryer for too long (which is not an issue for a lot of people, I suspect), but these I thought actually weren't cooked enough. The interiors were a little tough so the potatoes could have used a little more time in the oven or fryer. Service was solid. Our waitress was very nice and happily contributed her thoughts/opinions on different items of the menu, which my chum loves to seek out when we're in a new, unfamiliar place. I was starting to get a little tired by this point in the day so it was nice to have efficient, quick turnaround times for everything. The prices were decent as well, which probably isn't too surprising given that we were still pretty far away from Lexington and other, more populated areas. This was fine for what it is, and my preference is always to go local when you're traveling through small town USA in lieu of the chains. This wasn't incredible, but we enjoyed our time here and left a literal physical reminder of our time here with the aforementioned pushpin.

The problem my wife and I encountered was that they were out of a lot of their selections. The soft serve icecream machine was broken which was a big disappointment. This place would be a lot better if they were open more hours and maybe scaled back their menu to focus on the basics. When we were last there we enjoyed a car show that had over 50 old cars. The ambiance went well with this 1950s restaurant survivor of a bygone era. I hope they can get the kinks worked out post Covid and rejuvenate this place. I think it has a lot of potential. I look forward to the day I can update my review and give them 5 Stars!
