Gorditas, tacos de carne asada and a dish that looked like a big plate of meat stew (chicken or pork?) today. I don't really care for meat, so I got a giant plate of rice and beans.

At least one of the ladies that works there is bilingual so if you are a non Spanish speaker you can still get fed. There is a giant smoker outside the building. Wonder when they use it? Bet it's good.

If you turn onto St.Charles St., just keep driving. Ignore the industrial buildings until…read moreyou arrive at this small, innocuous-looking building that is this Cuban restaurant & bar. If I were to remove a star, it would be because of the exterior. But I'm not going to remove a star. Once again, I come to an ethnic restaurant that looks questionable on the outside. But as we all know, those are the restaurants that have the BEST food. So I entered the restaurant, bravely and was greeted immediately by a very friendly server, who offered me to sit in either the dining or the bar area. I chose the dining area because it had more light. The bar area was way too dark for my preference, but she explained that the state law required them to keep it dark (because it's a bar area). The bar area has seating along the bar itself, and at a few tables in the area. Plus, (and it's a big plus for me) there is a pool table and and music plays all the time. :-) So I tried the drink soursop (guanabana) which is a tropical fruit that tastes like a combination of strawberries and apples. I really enjoyed it! Try it on ice because it tastes better when it is cold, per the recommendation of my wonderful server. As an appetizer, she brought to me fried onion rings with an amazing creamy garlic sauce for dipping. I am ashamed to say that I inhaled those onion rings! I dipped each one dipped in the flavorful garlic sauce. For dinner I ordered the eight. The pork team sliced with caramelized onions on top it I could not believe how tender and flavorful the pork was. Just amazing scrumptious! It melted my mouth. Eating it along with the congri was just a delightful experience. The dish came with a side salad (chopped red cabbage over sliced tomatoes) that was nothing special , but it looked very pretty. Foolishly, I ordered a side on yucca. It comes with warm queso on the side. I tried the yucca dipped in the queso AND dipped in the creamy garlic sauce (that came with the appetizer onion rings). While I liked both flavors, I preferred the garlic sauce with the yucca (I'm just a sucker for garlic). As I said earlier, the flavors of the pork, caramelized onions and congri were the stars of this dish. The tasty food, efficient service and the friendly owner (who visited my table and talked to me while I waited for my food), almost makes me wish I lived here so that I could partake at my convenience. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. If you are ever close to here, you should try it also.

Food took a little time to come out but I expect that in-between busy times. We were the only ones eating for most of the time we were there.

The owner stopped by asked how everything was and gave us a discount because I was wearing a USAF Veteran hat. I didn't ask for it or expect it but really appreciated that extra touch. We will be back

A love letter to Mexout…read more Not to be dramatic but this would genuinely be my death row meal. I grew up in Arizona and am obsessed with Mexican/authentic tacos. I used to eat here 3+ times a week in college for 3 years. It's my favorite place to eat, genuinely. I moved away but any time I am back it's my first and most the time last stop. The food is incredible, I have had every single thing on the menu and each protein. The Al Pastor is unbeaten. I haven't found anywhere in Tennessee/Kentucky that even comes close. Everything is always fresh, store is clean, and the staff is so nice. My order: Tacos, corn tortillas (they cook them perfectly), Al Pastor, queso, lettuce, shredded cheese, onions, olives, and cilantro. If you like spice get the Jalapeño sauce on the side.

It was one of the best burritos I have ever had. High quality ingredients and they did not skimp on the meat.

I will be back to try other items on their menu. Burrito was filling. Yum!

Bahar Cafe is one of my go-to spots…read more This is where I come to sit down, slow things down, have a cappuccino or Turkish coffee, and read or do Bible study. The atmosphere is calm, never overly busy, and just has a great vibe all around. The coffee is top tier--honestly the best cappuccino in town. And the food is just as good. The gyro is phenomenal, and the goulash is one of our favorites. What really sets this place apart is that it's a small, family-run business. I've been going here for years, and I genuinely love this family and what they've built. You can feel that it's authentic and made with care. If you're looking for a peaceful spot with great coffee, great food, and real people behind it, this is it.

Standard menu for a Mexican establishment with the usual suspects of Burritos, Tacos, Nachos and of course Birria! They also serve the lunch menu all week long so there's a breakfast burrito that my daughter got that looked great. They weren't very busy and didn't have a lot of staff working when we arrived on a Sunday around 12. The server was very quick to get to our table and give us drinks, tortilla chips and salsa while we looked at the menus. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with artwork and flags and you wouldn't think it was so nice from the outside but it is. Our food came out very fast and looked amazing. I ordered the Birria Quesadilla and it was amazing. Tender meat and very cheesy! The consommé is an extra charge so we got a cup to share. My wife had a Chicken dish with queso and rice that was also delicious. My son ordered a huge burrito that looked great but he did mention it not being the hottest. Overall good experience and we will visit again when we're in the area. They do charge gratuity automatically for parties of 6 or more so take that info as you'd like.
