    Chips, salsa, guacamole and cheese sauce

    Hector was our excellent server. Couldn't have been more courteous and helpful. One of the best servers I ever had. The food was fantastic. Warm chips and salsa was better than most. We had Chimichanga Mexicanos which was wonderful. They are BEST restaurant in Carrolton for a reason.

    Visiting from Florida. We had 4 adults 3 teens and 4 small children. We were sat fast outside and food came out quickly. Salsa and queso was amazing, the mi viejo dip spectacular (must get)! I had the Chori Pollo and it was fabulous. We all enjoyed our food. Service was attentive. Great restaurant in a small town.

    We stopped here on our way out of General Butler State Park and it was a great welcome back to restaurant dining!

    Anyone can see that Carrollton has plenty to offer for Latino cuisine. But this place is where…read moreit's at. The owner of the establishment works in the kitchen along with help and makes the best quesadillas I have eaten. When I stop in I like to eat the picnic tables because it's way too much to eat going down the road and it's too far from my house to wait until I get home. The atmosphere is laid back and just other hungry people getting good food at an economical price. If you haven't tried it, stop by today.

    These just aren't the best tacos I've ever had, this is the best meal I've ever had. Since finding…read morethis place, I've been back 4-5 times now and each time it somehow gets better and better. I travel all over the state and I've been to 20+ taquerias in the last year, and I can confidently say that these are far and away the best tacos in Kentucky and even beating any and all spots in the Cincinnati metro area. The meats, the salsa, the tortillas, everything is better. On my deathbed, I want nothing more than a plate of these tacos. I can't think of a single thing that would make them better. They have such a large menu, but I may never know what all of that tastes like because I will get tacos every single time. They have a brick and mortar restaurant in Ghent worth checking out too. It's 99% as good, but the tacos here just taste slightly better. I'll probably transition to the one in Ghent for the winter. Here it's always nice to sit on the picnic tables and enjoy the fresh air. In summary, try these and you won't want any other tacos in your life.

I tried to justify it because I was hungry, but couldn't take more than a few bites. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. So angry I wasted hard-earned money on this abhorrent filth. Stray away from any of the fajitas (sizzling plates) and the green sauce (pictured). Anyone with functioning taste buds can tell that it is long expired. It will make all your food taste like sour mold. My sister was served what appeared to be a pig heart, aorta arteries and all. What wasn't an organ was nothing but fat and grizzle. Repugnant rubber. I'm praying I don't get food poisoning, otherwise this place will see a lawsuit coming their way. Never ever again. No matter how "in the middle of nowhere" I wind up or how hungry I am. I'd rather starve. (Side note: All the positive reviews have me astonished and utterly baffled. Have 800+ people really never tried good, quality, authentic Mexican cuisine??? Cause THIS AINT IT. Not even close)
