During those 12 years, we formed friendships with many working in this family owned restaurant! Our dining experiences were enhanced as they began teaching us Spanish! We have since relocated, but on our next visit, Rey San Jose will undoubtedly be our only choice for lunch, dinner and friendly conversation!

It had guacamole and sour cream on it and was not served in a taco shell bowl it was in a greasy fried tortilla folded in half. The meal was mushy, greasy and not appealing at all. I had a meal that had "tender juicy" chicken breast with a sauce on it. The chicken was dry and tough like it wasn't fresh cooked. The other two meals were similar to mine. I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone nor would I go there again. Hate to say it but Taco Bell is better than this place.

After a day exploring Kentucky Down Under, we hit up El Mazatlan for a late lunch. It was a…read morebeautiful day outside, so we chose to eat on the patio. There was a covered portion, but we stayed in the sun to stay warm in the cool spring air. The server sat us immediately and brought us complimentary fresh chips and salsa. We were starving, so we gobbled them up while flipping through the extensive menu. The servers brought us extra chips and salsa while we waited for our food and drinks. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and two steak tacos off the à la carte lunch menu (until 3pm daily). There was a $0.99 upcharge each for grilled vs shredded chicken and carne asada vs ground beef, and it was totally worth it. My daughter ordered two grilled chicken quesadillas as well. And our friends ordered beef nachos and a fajita platter. All of it was delicious, with large portions. I had a couple of house margaritas, which were tasty and a steal at just $5.50 each. My only complaints were that the queso dip was rather small and not worth the $5, and (like most places) they charge way too much for a soda ($3.25). The service was excellent. Our server Juan was friendly and very attentive, and several others checked in on us throughout our meal to ensure we were taken care. I'll definitely be back the next time I visit Cave City, Hidden River Cave, or Kentucky Down Under.

Our server was friendly and attentive, keeping our drinks refilled and checking on us at the perfect times. Everything we ordered was delicious -- the chips and salsa were fresh and addictive, the enchiladas had just the right amount of spice and cheese, and the fajitas were sizzling hot with perfectly seasoned meat and veggies. The margaritas were strong and flavorful too. Overall, the food quality and portions were excellent, and we left feeling very satisfied. My only tiny complaint is that I wish there was a bit more guacamole with our order -- it was so good that we could have easily eaten double the amount! Definitely recommend El Mazatlan if you're in the Cave City area. We'll be back soon!

Probably some of the best Mexican food we've had north and east of El PasoTX and Costa Mesa CA! Start off with margaritas. I went for the top shelf and my wife for their regular. Must say the top shelf margarita had some terrific flavors! We also ordered the chunky guacamole to go with the chips and salsa. The chunky guacamole is the way to go! For our main courses, my wife decided on the Los Yolanda's (really chicken enchiladas) while I decided on their Carnitas platter. Our dishes came out surprisingly fast and were truly delicious! We were talked into an order of fried ice cream for dessert, again happy that we did as it was very yummy! An unexpected treat of complementary tequila shots and celebration of Cinco de Mayo was also truly appreciated. We did like the decor having a nice flare. We were so happy that many of the wait staff stopped by our table to ensure all was good. If we visit again, I'm sure we'll stop by! Keep up the great work!

We were a group of five and although it was a busy lunch, we were seated immediately. The interior is spartan, no design flourishes. But clean and tidy. Big menu even had chicken wings. salsa was mediocre but chips were great, and warm. My pollo chorizo had the white meat chicken cut into strips, the chorizo was on the medium side but overall it was a tasty filling dish. Everyone else had clean plates so no complaints from the group who mostly ordered different combo plates. One raved over the nachos. About as country Mexican as you can get, and that's fine with me. Skip the chains and patronize these hard working folks!
