Walked in a couple of minutes past noon on a Saturday. Receptionist told us we'd have to wait until noon to be seated since that's when they opened. We said it's already a few minutes past noon. They told us to walk around lol. We left. Felt like an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Will not be going back. read more

When looking for genuine Mexican cuisine and atmosphere with a great atmosphere with a patio and live music occasionally. I say this because most the food there don't have steak chimichangas only hamburger meat for beef chimichanga; That to me is a Mexican Sloppy Joe no bueno so it chowed real beef steak.

Miguel's famous ribs...I was pleasantly surprised. Got a half rack and they was a flavorful. The French fries lacked salt and got cold quickly. Service was excellent. The fried chicken wings were meaty and delicious. Came with hot sauce in the side...maybe Frank's. Highly recommended stop. read more

Typical Americanized Mexican cuisine. I take away nothing from Miguel's. It is you typical Mexican American cuisine. Food came out hot and quick. Margaritas were on point and as far as what I could tell...it was very clean. It was a nice change from the quick in and out places we had been to during our Bourbon tour. The service was good and e eryone was friendly. read more

I ordered fish tacos and there was beef fajitas inside the tortilla with the fish. When I brought it up with the waitress her response was "Don't worry, we won't charge you for the beef". I asked for her to clarify and she said she would only charge me for the fish taco plate and not the beef portion... the beef that I did not order! What a bizarre response. I said I would like the tacos comped from the bill. It was not a flavorful combination and certainly not what I ordered. The manager was called over by the waitress and he said the same thing. "Don't worry we won't charge you for the beef.... But will still charge for the fish tacos. I really thought I was not understanding their response. Why would they charge me for pieces of beef fajita I did not order!?! In the end he, after some back and forth, eventually comped the fish tacos. Beyond that, the food was bland. read more

Great service and loved the communication!! Food was fantastic and delicious!! The ambiance was also amazing!

Tried this place on a Friday evening cos this was probably the only place that was open until like 11pm ! They did have some live music happening around that was funn! Their chips and salsa was really good and fresh. They had even hot sauce option for the sauce that was good ! We ordered enchiladas and I really did not like the black bean and the cheese tortilla but the rice was decent ! Tried the spinach and the veggie quesadilla! That was good and very filling! The salad that came with it did not really feel fresh at all! I was excited for it but was not the best :( My friend loved the vegetarian burrito. If you are not a fan of mushrooms you might have to say in advance. read more

Good food. I had the Burrito Grande. They very kindly subbed steamed frozen veggies for beans and rice. I won't say the veggies were super great, but it was an honest effort, and they were generous with them. Good service. Kind of a grody women's bathroom, though. That's my only complaint. read more

Miguel's Restaurante - the entrance to the restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Frankfort, Kentucky

Very good Mexican restaurant in Jett. If you're not looking for it you'll drive right past it. But don't. This place has really good food and even better service. First of all, they'll let you order lunch at lunch on a weekend. I'm not sure how or why that's going out of fashion at some of these restaurants, but thankfully these guys recognize lunch time even on Saturday and Sunday. And you won't need any more than the lunch entrees. They are more than enough to feed even the hangriest (misspelling intended) of you. The tortilla chips are super thin and tasty...some of the best I've had. The salsa is very good as well. I went with the El Mexicano, which includes Chili Relleno, a tamale, Mexican rice, and refried beans. I would definitely recommend this meal. The chili relleno is excellent. The tamale, while not the best I've ever had, is quite good. And the refried beans are very good, without the aftertaste you get at so many restaurants. My wife ordered the Jamaican Pollo. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the flavor of this dish is super tasty and original. I would recommend this dish as well. As I mentioned above, the service here is incredible. It makes the dining experience here so nice. So, don't jet through Jett. Take it slow and stop here for some delicious and different menu options. read more

An unexpected find on our trip from the east coast to the Midwest. Miguel's is conveniently located off Interstate 64 at Hwy 60. it was a just a couple blocks from our hotel. I am still thinking about the Enchiladas Suizas - the flavor was amazing! I substituted refried beans for the rice (due to a food intolerance) and found this to be a perfect combination. If we weren't 9 hours away, I would be back regularly. read more

Let me preface this by saying I grew up in a Hispanic house, so my standards are pretty high when it comes to Mexican (or Tex-Mex) style food. I want to point out that this is just the Tex-Mex style and not actual Mexican. When I got there, I got seated right away. We had decent service throughout the night. The margaritas are a bit weak for my taste, but I really like tequila. The chips were normal and the salsa was able to have a subtle smoky Chipotle flavor--which I happen to find unpleasant, but that really is just me. I do not enjoy Chipotle flavor in anything, so the salsa is just not my thing. I saw that tortas were on the menu and I had not had a real torta style sandwich in so long. The only one on the dinner menu was the steak torta. It came with a side and they gave me fries. The steak itself was in one big piece and it wasn't fork tender so it really needed to be cut before adding it to the bread. The steak lacked flavor and seasoning. It game with lettuce, tomato and huge onion slices. There was also cheese and maybe mushrooms on it, but the sandwich was still dry. I asked for mayo to put on it. This was not the torta I was used to. The reason for the one star is when I went to the restroom, a server was in there. She went to "wash" her hands and just ran them under water. No soap. I am glad that happened after I ate. FAUX PAS!! read more

Often, we order lunch from this great Mexican restaurant! Today, I wanted to make sure to call out a wonderful deed by Ms. Claudita. Our order was missing a few items from someone's lunch. This never happens, but their restaurant stays fairly busy. When we called we had left a voicemail. We figured we would hear from them later. Within 2 minutes, we had a call back, an apology, and she was on her way with our food. She delivered it to us!!!! Fresh, hot, and outstanding service! Thank you guys!!! read more

I've eaten here several times and it's by far our favorite Mexican restaurant in Frankfort! Love, love the salsa! I could eat it with a spoon :) We've also always had good service. Friendly and helpful! Prices are reasonable, they have your usual Mexican restaurant staples but also some more unique items. The pork is to die for! read more

At best your average Mexican restaurant. Came here for dinner last night and simply put the food was ok. I had a frozen margarita and a create your meal.. I chose two tamales. Food was ok, the tamales were out of the husk which was a little unusual to me. Restaurant is huge, so there's plenty of room for parties. Service was ok as well, at the end of the day as mentioned just an average/below average Mexican restaurant. Better off trying your luck somewhere else. read more

The food at Miguel's is great. If you are tired of typical Mexican restaurant menus then there are several other things to choose from. I recommend the BBQ ribs which are the best around. The Carne Asada is also one of my favorites. There is a good sized patio for warm weather dining which is hard to find in Frankfort. read more

Miguel's is the long-standing BEST Mexican restaurant in Frankfort, Kentucky. Hands down. The negative reviews are mostly left by out of towners that have no clue what to order. The steak fajitas, the Ricki's carne asada, the pollo con arroz y chorizo, even the tacos...you cannot go wrong. Miguel is a top notch guy and he only hires the best staff. My cravings for carne asada can only be quenched by Miguel's. And I've traveled all over the United States and South America. read more

Our first and last time there. Staff was very friendly and it was a very lively place but in the 5 minutes we were there we killed 10 ants on our table, so we left. We aren't planning on ever going back. read more

I took myself on a little date here. Ate on the patio on a beautiful day. I was seated quickly and they start you off with some chips and salsa, which appear to be fresh-made, delicious. I ordered the catfish platter, it came with 4 catfish filets, they were a bit thin, but that made them super crispy. It also had 4 hush puppies and a large amount of French fries. The hush puppies were very tasty, but a bit over cooked. The fries were fried to a light crispness, but were not seasoned. I had to ask for salt and pepper. I finished with the Flan, which is made in-house. It was a perfect portion for one, the caramel was light and sweet, the custard was thick and creamy. I will certainly be going back! read more

The food was OK didn't get our order right took off the extra charge, but the food service and quality was terrible. Employee service was awful. The waiters were unkind. they had no personality. They also overcharged one of us didn't even get food and it was still very expensive. My personal experience was terrible. Both times I went I wouldn't go here ever again because it was overpriced. Employees were rude and then there's terrible service and there's other options that are much better here. Also, they didn't give one of us an ice cream we told him it was our birthday, but they didn't care really they didn't offer a free birthday scream like they said they would really didn't care and it was just a bad experience read more

I mean, we all go to Mexican restaurants for that margaritas and this one doesn't disappoint! Showed up randomly on a Friday night and was excited that they had a live band on the patio! The ambiance is great, music was on point, and margaritas - amazing! Ordered the combo happy plate and it was a winner! Stop I'm if you're in town! Only reason for 4 stars is because when I showed up, the hostess told a waitress that she was bring her a table. And she replied very unprofessionally, with me in ear shot. Granted it was 35 minutes until closing, but she was like, "now way.. I'm closing out my tables." And then, a party 12 showed up AFTER closing and guess who was serving?? I guess party of 2 doesn't pay enough... So we left our gracious waiter a 25% tip, just because. read more

Went here with some friends to hear a band play. The food was your normal Mexican,good but nothing special. How ever at the end of the night I went to settle up my tab and the waiter had put everyone in our large group on the same one. I was able to pick out our food and drinks for the wife and I. But the last couple to leave was stuck with an extra $100. No knowing who owed what or if it was still owed they went ahead an paid it. So if you go make sure the server keeps all tabs separate. read more

Excellent food, excellent service, and the prices aren't too bad either. We took some out of town relatives and they enjoyed it also. We will return often as we eat out a lot. One of the better restaurants in town. I recommend it highly. read more

If I could leave 0 stars I would. Usually I come to Miguel's and they do a great job, but today was the worst. My group and I came to the restaurant at around 5:30pm. We were waiting on two other guests to arrive but decided to get appetizers and order without them after waiting awhile. Whenever the appetizers came out, the quest was cold and had to be reheated and it didn't have any flavor along with the guacamole that was ordered. Once our food came out, my order was wrong and I notified our waiter, Elder. He came out with the boss (older woman) and she asked what my order was so that it could be fixed and told me it would be out within 10 minutes. Eventually the rest of our party arrives (2 guests btw) and I still hadn't received my order. Elder (the waiter) comes to take their order and I asked him about my food and said "I've been waiting for almost about 45 minutes for it to be remade. If it's not ready or being made, then I don't want it anymore." He said "let me go check." Once he comes back to the table he said "They never remade your order and can't make it because they're working on a party of 45 people." I then asked to speak to the boss (woman) and Elder said she can't come because she's cooking. I then asked to speak to the owner and asked if the older man standing at the door was him. He said "that's not the owner. He's a customer." My friend decided to go see if that's the owner and when she told him I'm having a problem with my order the owner replied "that's her problem not yours." I gather my stuff and go to speak to the owner and he says "You sent the guacamole back. What was wrong with it? Your food was being made but you didn't want it and all of our staff are working on the large party, maybe if your guest weren't late this wouldn't have happened. There's nothing I can do." I then said, "My friend sent the guacamole back and that was her order so it has nothing to do with me. The waiter told me my food wasn't made and couldn't be made. If my order was in the process of being remade I would have taken it. I come to this restaurant often and like coming here but today this was poor service." The owner still didn't have anything to say and didn't try to make anything right. Also, while I was waiting on my food to be remade, Elder didn't clear the table of cups or chip but serviced everyone else around us. I'm very disappointed. read more

Just passing through and happened upon Miguel's. Salsa is fresh with a hint of heat. But the enchiladas! I hadn't seen the meat and veggies on top of the tortillas before, but wow! Slow roasted pork, tender and tasty. Veggies grilled with some texture remaining. Best I've had in years, maybe ever!. read more

Fantastic all around. Had a party of 20 on a Saturday evening. Place was packed and they made accommodations for us. The staff was on top of there game and the food was great. read more

Not very busy, super friendly staff. My husband and I took our two little ones (2and3yrs old at the time) and the staff helped entertain and played with them a little which was very heartwarming. I don't remember what my husband got but he always asks the waiter for their favorite dish and so that's what he was served and was not disappointed. I always order steak fajitas at any Mexican restaurant I go to and it ranked among the top 5 I've had...which is really good because I LOVE Mexican food and am kinda picky. read more

Excellent restaurant with great waiters. We had Antonio tonight and he was really on the ball with everything and had a great sense of humor. Would definitely recommend you checking this place out. It's very close to interstate 64 exit 58 read more

Miguel's Restaurante - Inside the restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Frankfort, Kentucky

Service service service.... we arrived at the beginning of a UK game and most everyone had already been served. The server we had kept disappearing out the front doors where everyone that wanted to smoke was standing so that you had to walk through it when you came in. The place is big and maybe too many tables for a server to watch but other servers helped us with a few things because ours could not be found. The food here is always good and a good deal! Just don't expect great table service when you go especially when busy... the details in this review are about one night but there have been similar incidents of not being checked on during our meal to get additional food or drinks... food is a 5 but service a 2 so rounded to a 3 because I can't do a 3.5..... read more

I really don't know why some of the low rated reviews on this restaurant. My girlfriend and I stopped here on our way from Lexington to Louisville a few nights ago. There were only a few tables seated. They had an NBA game on all of the big screen tvs scattered around the place. Our server got to us quickly and was very friendly. My girlfriend got a salad and carnitas, I got a large burrito. Our food reached the table in a matter of minutes and tasted very, very good. We are probably even a bit of Mexican food snobs - we've tried hundreds of places and make sure to try a new one in every city we ever go to. We judge them against each other simply because we love Mexican food and believe we have determined which restaurants make TexMex well, which make authentic Mexican well, and which do neither. And we both came to the conclusion without needing much discussion at all (although after trying each other's meals) that this place is pretty freaking good. Her carnitas were incredibly thick cuts that were very tender and flavored incredibly well. My burritos were spectacular - the beef had virtually no grease, which is rare in a Mexican restaurant. But when there's no grease, you taste the actual flavor of the beef. And theirs was seasoned in a very unique and surprisingly awesome way...almost more like a taco seasoning like you would've gotten on a taco burger at the old Taco Tico. Our server was very friendly and attentive, all of the food was clearly very fresh and very well prepped, cooked, and presented, and service was fast. We will definitely stop here again on our way between the two cities. Don't listen to the bad reviews on here (some of which make some pretty dangerous and suspect claims)...this is a good Mexican restaurant. read more

Excellent lunch! Hubby had Speedy Gonzales lunch and I had chicken fajita lunch. He loved his. Mine was excellect but if you're ordering fajita lunch its crazy enough for 2! Came to the table sizzling with chicken, peppers, onions and tomatoes! Separate huge plate of rice, beans and (lettuce,guacamole and sour cream trio for toppings)! Can't say enough good things!! Service was excellent (Fernando 351). Wish I had taken a pic but just dove in! Enjoy read more

I was recently here to listen to my dad's band play on the patio. I decided to order some food and grub on some chips and salsa while we waited for them to start. I was not overly impressed with the food, however they were super busy and running around like crazy to get orders taken and fulfilled. I LOVE the patio. That space is big, decorated nicely, and provides just the perfect amount of privacy to enjoy your evening without remembering you are right off a main road. They have a nice stage area for the band and even a small dance floor to get down on if you so choose. Trust me, loads of people are out there for the dancing. I am giving this spot 4 stars because of how impressed with the patio I was on my recent visit. And, Frankfort is my hometown and I always have a great time hanging out with my family. read more

Enjoyed this establishment as they were friendly and positive service. My drink never went dry, the salsa had a good flavor and the chips were warm! I ordered the pork thinking that it would have more flavor , so I was a little disappointed, but the guacamole salad made up for the loss of flavor in the pork. I will eat here again! read more
