Full disclosure, takeout. And I get it--in this area, I'm not expecting anything other than Americanized Mexican food. But this is the worst Mexican food I've had maybe ever. We usually go with Las Fuentes, which is owned and run by a Mexican family (they also have a Mexican grocery store next door). We decided to try something different, Senor Lopez. Big mistake. I had a soggy fajita quesadilla, with the tortilla not even grilled. Chicken practically sanitized without any spice or char or flavor. It was dripping tomato juice (the tomatoes were also the cruddy, tasteless kind). Refried beans were bland too. They forgot our order of rice. My husband's burrito wasn't much better. He described it as, "bland wrapped in a cold tortilla." His tortilla also hadn't seen a grill. My husband said it was busy, but this is the kind of bad that's developed over time; this wasn't just because of busyness. They quoted us 10-15 minutes and delivered on that time--I would rather wait longer and have better food. Hopkinsville is limited, but if you want some form of Mexican eats, go with Las Fuentes or Tacos El Papi. read more

My family had reserved space at this establishment for my grandson's 8th birthday. We were enjoying our meal until the end. My daughter-in-law had asked the manager if he would be willing to have a few of the workers sing "Happy Birthday" to my grandson to honor his special occasion. My daughter-in-law was denied. A small minute of time could not be spared to make a young boy feel special. We sang him "Happy Birthday" and purchased his dessert. This should not have been. The establishment of Senor Lopez sucks. Don't go if you want a birthday party because they are of "no class" when it comes to special treatment for birthday patrons. read more

Friendly staff! Best street tacos around!! I've never had anything I didn't like here! Quick service!

We took her car in for an estimate of the repair shop next-door. Because it was time for lunch we decided to stop in for a quick bite to eat. The place was fairly busy, but we were seated right away. We were brought complementary chips.OMG! Salsa was out of this world chips were Fresh and homemade. When the steak quesadilla arrived l, it was steaming hot! Took a bit of the steak and once again OMG! It was cooked to perfection. Tender, bite size strips with the best seasoning I have ever had. The eggs and chorizo were also cooked to perfection. I can't wait to go back and try everything on their menu ! read more

Food is tasty & proportions are really adequate! Wait staff is friendly and polite. If you're like me from California, and have tasted Mexican food like they serve, you won't be disappointed! read more

Went there for lunch and had a Taco Salad with rice and beans. The service was great, food was tasty and the decor was uber Mexican. The margarita wasn't bad either. read more

I have had the pleasure of eating at Senor Lopez several times since I have moved to Hopkinsville. The first time I ordered Juavos Rancheros and they were very good. The last two times I got their Carnitas and I just loved them. Not only was the pork excellent but the rice and beans were delicious. I am looking forward to going back. read more

I downloaded this app just to give señor Lopez I ordered the seafood fajitas and a steak burrito...they both blew my mind! read more

I'm from Southern California, I'm part Mexican and I grew up eating homemade Mexican food. I have had the hardest time finding what I know as true authentic Mexican food ever since I moved to the south. Unfortunately, this place wasn't much different than the others I've tried. The service wasn't the best either. I ordered a combination plate and asked if they had pork tamales, the waiter seemed annoyed by my question and told me they only have beef and chicken. The masa was undercooked and still doughy. I asked for extra salsa and it took me asking 3 people before I got it. The salsa tasted like tomato sauce. I had to add salt and Valentina just for it to have flavor. Whatever cheese they use in the chile relleno was gross. It tasted like white America cheese. The rice and beans were actually pretty decent. The taco was an American taco, it was OK. My daughter had the kids grilled chicken and rice. That was actually good. They normally serve it with some type of "queso" but I asked for no cheese. I don't know why everywhere out here wants to smother food in "cheese sauce". It's just weird. We did get a side of grilled shrimp and that was the best thing we ordered. I'm giving them 3 stars because the prices were great, however, we did get that we paid for. I might try it again, but go with something a little more difficult to botch, like fajitas. Also the lighting was really awkward. The lighting was bright in the middle and super dark at the edges. Our table very little light. It was just a weird experience lol read more

Wonderful food and service! The steak was unbelievably tender and shrimp was cooked perfect. The black beans were the best I've had. Margarita and salsa were perfect with the warm chips. I'd come here every time I come into town! read more

Food is good. Service is quick one of the better, Mexican restaurants in town, on average it takes 30 to 45 minutes to get in and out. If you go on the weekends may be a little bit longer, considering they are busier read more

We usually order takeout at least once a week the last several times my order has been messed up in one way or another. Three strikes I'm done with this place read more

This place is honestly one of the BEST mexican restaurants I've ever been to! The food is so delicious and so flavorful and never disappoints. It's so affordable like under $35 for both my husband and I. The ambiance could be a little better but the service and food makes up for it. We will continue to be regulars! read more

Senior Lopez is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Hopkinsville. The decor is pretty generic (the building was not originally a Mexican restaurant) but the food and service is solid. It is stereotypical "gringo Mexican," not heavily spiced/flavored but with plenty of delicious queso and cheese. read more

They had outdoor seating, so it's a good idea we had thought to ask. Since our friends were travelling with their dog, it was perfect for us. The waiter was the sweetest and most accommodating and helped us find vegetarian options. The amount of food was very, very adequate and large! It was also super delicious. We weren't very hungry to begin with, yet we managed to finish everything on the order! Sitting outside might not be a very good idea if you can avoid it, as you get plagued by flies and horse flies, but it was still very wonderful service. And the waiter came out frequently to check on us as we were the only ones sitting out. And he made sure that we were served. So thank you. You definitely deserve better ratings! read more

This place is somewhat new....its in the old Dots building and even incorporate a few of the old Dots menu items along with new "Mexican" items on the menu. Ahhhhh.....Its bad. Even the free chips were bad.....horrible salsa which resembled canned crushed tomatoes with no cilantro. Dishes were cold and tasteless.....and uninspired. Wait staff is 50/50 on friendliness and correctness. They will need to improve.......or in a few months this place will close. I hate that I wasted my Saturday lunch time and money here. Huge disappointment. I just don't understand how food that bad could make it to opening week? read more

Great staff, fast service! We used to frequent a different Mexican restaurant every Friday but we have switched to Senor Lopez!

Placed a pick up order at 9:32 on a Saturday which I admit super late but they are supposed to be open till 10 according to their times posted, I asked the lady taking my order if it was okay if I placed an order for pick up she said "yes of course" she took my order told me to give them 10 to 15 minutes, I left my house and headed in that direction got there at 18 minutes and the doors were locked I called about 4 times and they wouldn't pick up they turned off their open sign. So I decide to cut my losses and leave after about 10 minutes of being outside, they call me and asked about the pick up order pretty much down to the T of me leaving a review, about the order. Best part is when I walk in there is still people sitting an eating inside and pretty much most of the people just look at me sideways. He gave me a cheese dip on the house which I appreciate and he apologized can't really ask for much more. read more

Don't get me wrong the food is the best mexican in town! However, I order the same exact thing EVERY time & the price is somehow different EVERY time!!! I always order on either a Friday or the weekend & the price is literally always different by 6-10 dollars!! Am I missing something here? I can't be the only one this happens to? It's not a huge difference, but kinda annoying & it always depends on who takes my order. & I'm a regular there. read more

If you want a taste of Mexico, Mariachi music, sombrarros and the like, you will be disappointed. However, if you want some very tasty food, this is your spot. It was my first time here. They have a large menu with lots to choose from. Fast service, clean place too. read more

Senor Lopez - a restaurant with tables and chairs - Mexican Near Me - Hopkinsville, Kentucky

Ok, this place is gross! The restaurant itself had no ambience whatsoever, no Latino music, nothing about the decorations even suggested Mexican. And it was dirty, too. A lot of the tables weren't cleaned off and it wasn't for lack of staff! There was garbage all over the floor, yuk! The only thing Mexican about that place was the wait staff, and not very professional. The fella who waited on us had an accent so thick (I'm not sure it was even Mexican), you could hardly tell what he was saying and he wasn't very forthcoming with information. You had to play 20 questions with him. Me: "What kind of cheese is in these enchiladas?" Him: "Melted cheese." Me, incredulous: "*What* kind of cheese?" Him: "Shredded cheese." Me: "Shredded cheese?" Him: "Yes." Me: "What *kind* of shredded cheese?" Him: "Got cheese." Me: "Goat cheese?" Him: "Yes." The rice is even too bland for me, in other words, tasteless! The beans were disgusting, no taste and they had put some runny white liquid on them that was, well, who knows? I couldn't tell! I asked for cheese enchiladas and got goat cheese enchiladas! Some of you out there may like goat cheese, not me! It was disgusting! Overall, I'd give this place a 1/2 star if it were possible! Yuk, yuk, yuk!!! My recommendation: Don't even go there, don't waste your money. It might be barely passable if you were starving, but otherwise, bleecccccchhhhhh!!!!! read more

Slim pickings for Mexican restaurants in Hopkinsville. Especially when one owner runs the other two. -Why Senor Lopez does it for me?- 1. Prompt service when you walk in the door. No waiting 5 minutes to be seated (when they're vacant) and another 15 to get your drink order in. 2. It may be on the small side, but it's nice on the interior. No nasty, sticky walls or booths with rips in the seams. 3. Chips are perfect, but I admit the salsa could use some work. Cheese dip made up for the salsa, however. 4. The usual large portions and my taco salad was not soggy. Thank goodness. 5. They give you time to relax and enjoy your meal..unlike others that want to push out the door when part of your plate is finished. Keep calm and let me order another margarita. Do you want a decent tip or not? 6. Cheaper than El bracero. Tastes better too. One minor gripe I have is, I wasn't sure what was with the black pepper in my beef. It was still good, but it's presence was unnecessary. I'm glad I finally discovered this place, and wish I had been giving them my service a long time ago. I'll be back! read more

The food is good but if you have a big party and are looking to have it here. Goes elsewhere, we went through 2 servers just in getting our drinks ordered because the first server was overwhelmed that we all got margaritas. He was very annoyed that we were a large group and trying to have a good time. The second server was better but she had a attitude the whole time. read more

The service here is great and the food is very good. I stopped going to Elbra bc they are being stingy with the cheese sauce and their margaritas have very little tequila not to mention the waiters just throw your food on the table as they are walking by. Senior Lopez is also a bit cheaper than Elbra. read more

Was going to stop there last night (15 Feb, 2020) as it had become our favorite restaurant in the area. Food was good and staff was friendly and efficient. Unfortunatley, it appears that they have closed down this location. Will have to find someplace else to go. It's a shame, but what can you do. read more

This place is ok, the food was good but the service not so much. Overall it's ok for a quick bite, but I would not do date night here .

I would disagree with the other two reviews it is very good and they are very friendly!! The food is very good and they mix american classics like steak with everyone's favorite Mexican dishes flawlessly. Overall Senor Lopez is comparable if not better than El Bracero. read more

Was not impressed. Food was tasteless! Mexican food has a lot of flavor, this placed lacked. But the atmosphere is inviting and staff is helpful! read more

Wish I had read the review before dining. They have a smoking area and were clean. The service and food were nothing to get excited over.

The very best Mexican restaurant in the area. The.chunky guacamole is wonderful. Staff is very helpful and we get take out too. Highly recommend. read more

Fabulous chicken taco salad served in a taco bowl. The salsa was fresh with hints of sweet tomatoes and cilantro. Highly recommend the food as a take out was a. Unexpected treat. read more

I spent almost 7 years in Mexico. If you are looking for TexMex - i.e. very spicy - you will be disappointed. This is authentic Mexican food. I go very often. The food is good to excellent. The service has been very good every time I've gone. There are no "gringo" amenities - that is, sombreros, pictures of bullfights or piñata's. It is very much a typical Mexican restaurant and the prices reflect what you get: authentic Mexican food, properly cooked, good service, and reasonable prices. If you are looking for all the " ambience and Mexican stuff" as some Americans think of them, try a "fancier", more expensive restaurant. read more

I love this place! The food is pretty standard mexicna food, but the service is always great!

We have been to Senor Lopez many, many times. None of us have ever complained about their food. We have always had great experienes. Friendly staff, great food and nice atmosphere. We eat here on a regular basis. read more

The 2 times I've been to this place at lunch, the waiters act like it's a real nuisance to have to work or serve anyone. They didn't smile or make me feel welcomed. I had to wave people down to get our waiter for us. Terrible serve. Food is good, but terrible service during the lunch hours. read more

The facility is great, atmosphere lacking maybe because the food is really unMexican. The salsa is horrible, service could use a serious facelift. read more

Usually this is good food done well, but my last to go order was all screwed up. Beef Chimmys were actually chicken, shorted me an order of beef and cheese Nachos. The biggest issue was my wife cannot eat the chicken because she is having issues with her teeth, and cannot chew the chicken, so I had to go out and get her something else to eat. I will think twice before ordering here again, and if you do, might I suggest you check your food before you leave. I usually do this, but didn't think I had to. I know better now. read more

This is our 3rd time here. Food was great as usual. Service was great, too. Would have liked some Spanish music playing in the background though....thanks for a grest supper! read more

My Husband and I are fairly new to Hoptown. This is the 2nd Mexican Restaurant that we have visited. We both really enjoy the many different dishes and totally enjoy chips and salsa. While the chips were okay (totally cold), the salsa was good. However, they bring you ,1, small bowl, half full. When we ask for more Salsa, the Waiter mumbled a rude response and walked off. When taking out order, he acted as through he could barely understand my husband and was rather rude. My husband finally picked up our small bowl and approached the hostess and a different waiter to ask again for more salsa. Again, they were very rude and put out. We did finally receive! Our plates arrived. The portion's was good. The food was good. We were never ask if things were alright, if we needed anything else.The check was laid on the table without a Thank You, Come Again, Don't Come Again. When paying our bill, neither the hostess nor the man at the register EVER uttered a single word! Simply completed the transaction as if he were mute and again attended rude school. We will not go back to this particular establishment again. There is absolutely NO Atmosphere, has little to no decor. The other Restaurant, though smaller, was extremely friendly, and you never ask for anything. They anticipated and made sure you wanted for nothing. At this point I should clarify, Senor Lopez was not busy. And thinking back, not one waiter was friendly to a single customer. WOULD definitely not recommend SENIOR LOPEZ! read more
