Blink and you'll miss this place. Even after you pull into this tiny strip mall of three shops from the 1960's, you may miss it. Don't. This hidden little ten table restaurant is pretty darn good. For the typical Mexican restaurant fare, they excel with many things on the menu you won't find in most of the other Louisville establishments. Portions are significant, but that is typically the case in Mexican fare. Service is great and friendly. One other review mentioned they only sell can sodas. They do have fountain drinks now, Pepsi products. Standouts for me were the margarita, the guacamole and the homemade verde sauce. Don't let the outside fool you, go in and have a wonderful Mexican meal! read more

I recently stopped by Taquero Mucho and had a really good experience. The tacos were tasty and had a lot of flavor, and the salsa was especially good it had a nice kick and paired perfectly with the food. The place has a casual, laid back vibe that makes it a nice quick stop if you're craving tacos. Everything tasted fresh and the portions were solid. Overall it was a really enjoyable meal and a spot I'd definitely come back to when I'm in the Okolona area. read more

Customer service was on point! I'm new to the area and I've been looking for a good mexican restaurant and saw this place pop up on my maps because it had higher ratings. I decided to call and the gentleman who answered the phone was so patient and kind, I had quite a few questions and he took his time to explain the menu and find out what I like so that they could accommodate me. I really appreciated that! Now, I'll be honest I'm not a huge fan of authentic Mexican food, I've been to Mexico and I've had the "real deal" but unfortunately being from America, most of the Mexican food is Americanized so enchiladas are usually my go to! Unfortunately they don't make them the Tex Mex way but he suggested he could make them for me. Quite pricey and I will give an A for effort but they lacked so much flavor! The chicken was bland and there wasn't any cheese on top, I was really sad because I spent $17 + 20% tip and I wasn't satisfied. But although I wasn't satisfied with the food, the customer service blew me away! He even let me sample some of the drinks they had up front, the fermented pineapple juice was super tasty and not something I'd expect to find there but definitely good. I'd recommend you give them a shot if you're in the area, it's a cute little place with awesome service and the food is authentic(if you like the "real deal") they don't even serve chips and salsa lol only chips and beans he mentioned. I probably won't be back because let's face it, I'm a Tex Mex kind of girl but I'm happy they tried to satisfy my taste buds! read more

Taquero Mucho - Mexican Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Everything we tried was incredible. Only reason this is not 5 stars is the AC does not work, and it's not kid friendly, they don't supply kids cups with lids which led to a few spills. Also, soda is served by the can / water by the bottle with no free refills. Take the food and go home, or eat in your car and you won't be disappointed. Great food! read more

The service was amazing! The shrimp taco, delicious. The margarita Wednesday was a great deal. All together would come back any day anytime. read more

Let me start by saying i love Mexican food. Upon arriving there they greeted us and told us to sit wherever we wanted. Which was okay because they're was not another soul there besides the workers. I asked her if it was taco Tuesday and she replied yes. On line I had read they were 1.99 on Tuesday. So I mentioned that. First off, they do not have just regular seasoned beef. Which i questioned. So I ordered chicken tacos. She asked with everything and I answered yes, lettuce tomato. She says o no, only cilantro and onions are on there. I. Well we're already here now. So what to drink? I asked, do you have fresh sweet tea. O yes. She brings me a bottle of gold peak sweet tea. I, once again we're already there. I asked about salsa and chips and she started o yes and brought us refried beans and chips. No salsa. We ate, went to pay and it was 3.00 per taco. I asked about the special and she said no, 3$. I questioned that to which the response i could not understand. We ordered 7 tacos, 1 large beer and a tea. It was 33.90. Wow. Okay. So i go to pay and it was a total of 34.92. They charge if you use a card. I do not recommend this place. The food was okay, not something i would eat a second time. said with everything i said read more

Taquero Mucho - Receipts of order - Mexican Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Cool little spot, a young fellow and lady were running the restaurant on a Sunday afternoon when I visited. We were the only patrons. Instantly greeted and we chose our seats. The gave us the menu explained there is no option for water only bottled beverages or in house made drinks. They brought over a small ornate bowl of bean dip and some fresh tortilla chips. We ordered two entrees to share. The "machete "quesadilla which seemed to be a signature dish and a carnitas burrito. Two bottles of sauce arrived at the table spicy green guacamole sauce and a red standard sauce .. no typical Americanized style salsa available. For drinks I chose the passion fruit soft drink, wife got the in house rice water both were tasty. The carnitas burrito was good the pork was cooked well, beans, rice and cheese inside, verde sauce covered the flour tortilla it was quite mushy.. but overall it's a decent dish. The chicken machete was a unique experience with a "homemade" corn tortilla that had a thick layer of masa the texture not unlike a tamale. The chicken was chopped up into little chunks and cooked with cheese and lots of red onions and cilantro. Truth is it was a bit of a mess and a bear to eat, it was huge, Tasted okay. In the end Taquero Mucho was a unique experience with the food to match. Our two items with a drink each plus tip brought the bill to around fifty dollars. Definitely a bit pricey. oh and there's a dollar fiftyish charge for credit cards . All in all pretty cool place to try but probably won't be a regular haunt for us. read more

Excellent Mexican restaurant very authentic menu very affordable. Service is great and the margaritas are the best in the city. Tucked out of way in a strip mall but worth it. read more

If you're an OG from Okolona or Highview, then you know this to be the same location of Villa Romano from way back. This is is a small and nice Mexican restaurant with a great menu variety. The menu is in Spanish but understandable with basic information. We had great and friendly service. Like in many countries, they don't serve tap water. They do serve complimentary warm chips and a tasty bean dip. We ordered the guacamole and it was very fresh and chunky. It was gone before I could snap a photo. My husband got the huarache - big enough to share. My poblano relleno was fantastic. It came with rice and beans and the batter was eggy and good. It also was served with HANDMADE tortillas. Such an unexpected treat! There is a very spicy green salsa and a medium smoky red salsa that they also bring to the table. I can't wait to go back and try something else. read more

Every thing great servers and food is amazing. Best Mexican restaurant in our area................

Taquero Mucho is a Mexican eatery located in a small shopping center just off outer loop right near the okolona/highview borderline of Louisville Kentucky. Very small and tiny space but they do have some limited indoor seating here. I stopped in here for lunch with my 14 year old and 2 year old after grabbing the oldest from her school. We wanted Mexican and was heading to our usual spot across the street from this place when we noticed a new place and decided to give it a shot. Our service here was very good. Our waitress was very nice and Accommodating and kept our glasses full. Like most Mexican establishments you do receive complementary chips and salsa. However instead of a salsa you get a bean dip type dish here. The establishment did have bottled salsa as well but the main dish/bowl was a bean dip. The chips and bean dip were actually really good. I was mildly skeptical as I'm a big salsa guy but it was a cool and unique take on a normal Mexican eatery staple. For our entrees I personally went with the Chicken burrito covered with queso. My oldest went with a couple steak tacos and the two year old got a kids cheese sticks. My burrito was solid. Pretty standard tasting burrito. The queso wasn't the greatest. Nice and thick but kinda had a plain Jane flavor to it. My oldest enjoyed her steak tacos and said they were good. The kids cheese sticks was actually quite a bit of substance and the two year old happily devoured them. So not complaints from her. Overall cool little eatery. I'm always down to try and explore New Mexican restaurant. So it is nice to see one pop up on the nearby area. The bean dip and chips is a unique touch and makes them stand out and memorable. Food is solid to average from our experience. Worth checking out if you are in the area and enjoy Mexican food. read more

Delicious street tacos. Come on Tuesday, dine-in for $1.99 tacos. This applies to all meats (even lengua)! Honestly, this was a steal! We got 9 tacos for $18 (before taxes and tip, of course). Much better than the taco trucks and about the same quality as the best of them. Although, I will say the suadero was not as crispy as we've had at another place. I wish the chiles toreados was spicier -- but, this seems to be hit or miss anywhere. So, not a big deal. Also, the service here is wonderful!! Looking forward to coming back for my taco cravings. read more

Authentic and great food. Tortilla are obviously made in house. Owner was present and appreciative of guests. Would definitely go back

Great, small dining room. Fantastic pottery and plates. Food was authentic and delicious! Make sure you grab a horchata to go!

The food was amazing and flavorful! My kids loved the quesabirrias!! Service was great! He was very attentive and polite. Went above and beyond to make everyone happy. Ambiance was nice too. Perfect family dining read more

Absolutely fabulous and fresh Mexican fare. Better than we have had in quite some time and we consider ourselves foodies. The manager even took his time to explain every dish and his personal recommendations. My girlfriend had the carnitas Machete and I had the most amazing beef tongue dish (lengua huarache). 10 out of 10 for both. The black bean empanadas and fresh guacamole were on point as well!! Please support this small business and give it a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Excellent food and wonderful staff. Great simple atmosphere. Highly recommended... Fast service hot and fresh.

What a hidden gem. We love visiting authentic Mexican joints and we stopped by this place on a whim. The staff were super friendly and quick. The portions were great. I was excited to see that they had items that I can't find any where else such as Tlayuda which is similar in my opinion to a Navajo Taco which I cannot find anywhere in Kentucky until this place. I love that instead of giving you complimentary chips and salsa, they give you chips and bean dip. The chips were warm and fresh, as was the black bean dip. We ordered the chorizo queso which was perfection. My husband ordered the Tinos Torta and my God this was massive. It was literally a loaf of bread with every meat under the sun on it (see pictures). He was in heaven. I ordered the Quesabirria and I will have to say that the consome was the second best that I've had. First being this little Taco joint in Williams, Arizona. We both had leftovers for dinner which did not disappoint. I'm actually nervous to brag about how great this place is because I want to keep it to myself. But alas, they deserve the business. We will be back. read more

We started with queso chorizo and guacamole culichi, and these were excellent! I got chile relleno and my wife had carnitas. That pillowy corn tortillas, roasted jalapeño salsa, and spicy red salsa were absolutely essential accompaniments and elevated our entrees to a level we have trouble finding so far north. We will be back to try dessert and everything else on the menu. read more

As my husband will tell you I am very hard to please when it comes to good authentic Mexican food. He would even say I am a food snob. So not many restaurants will get 5 stars from me. This place is AMAZING!!! The food is delicious, well seasoned and prepared to perfection. I was soooo highly impressed by how good it was being that is is in Kentucky. Portion size are huge! We had their pineapple agua fresca and it was so delicious. It did take a little long to get our food to us because it is made to order and not preheated like other places. We are about 2 1/2 hour away from it and I would gladly drive again to eat here again. read more

Wonderful dinner tonight. The owner was very hospitable welcoming us and assisting in navigating the extensive menu. We gave him our preferences- mine seafood and recommended the ceviche w shrimp & squid. Fresh, flavorful and plentiful. We even added shrimp & squid to the guacamole. Hubby had a huge chorizo & Mexican sausage burrito. Says it's the best he's had! Please give this place a try they have wonderful specials throughout the week including $ 1.99 Tuesday tacos offering up shrimp, fish, brisket, etc at least 7 varieties of tacos for this price. They have an "A" rating and offer sit down dining the very clean dining room. read more

My wife and I stopped in for dinner tonight and had a fantastic experience. We love finding Mexican restaurants to try out, but there isn't much locally that really impress us. This place is the exception! Taquero Mucho is an absolute gem. My wife ordered a carnitas taco and a fish taco. She loved both of them, but she said the carnitas was one of the best she has ever had. I had bìrria tacos that came out on a cast iron plate with cooked onions and chiles toreados. I also had a small sample size of the Menudo that was made in-house. Everything was amazing. I can't say enough about the food, and the service was even better. We were met by Luis (who runs the place) and he was so nice and accommodating the entirety of our stay. If you are in the area, stop by and give them a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

If you are looking for authentic Mexican in Louisville then this is the spot. From burritos to tacos to tortas and sopes this place is excellent. Choose your dish and your protein or pick from the things that they have created. I am not a fan of the El Nopal type Mexican food that dominates Louisville so this is right up my alley. Great menu and very friendly service. This will be where I go for Mexican from now on. read more

Excellent menu with authentic dishes. Very fresh. Super friendly service. Try the chicken enchilada Oaxaca style and there HUGE burritos. We will be back! read more

I have passed by this place many times since they opened and have thought about trying it but I didn't stop by till last night. I originally was going to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings but the service was so awful I went somewhere else- and I'm really glad I did! This place is family owned and operated and the service is fantastic. Everyone is super kind and welcoming. The food- next level. I will admit that the menu was a little intimidating to me because I didn't know what a lot of it was, but the owner made me feel very comfortable to ask questions. I was trying to decide between the birria and the quesabirria and she told me without skipping a beat to go with the quesabirria. I also ordered elote and horchata (they have two other aguas frescas- tamarindo and another flavor I can't recall at the moment). The tacos were SO. GOOD. I hate using adjectives like this but they're fitting in this case- they were meaty, juicy, and crunchy (the tortillas held up really well) and the flavor was great! I put some lime juice over the insides of my birria which was delicious. I also stupidly took a large bite of the grilled jalapeño on the side of my plate- very good but very spicy! The elote was very good- heavy on the lime, which I enjoyed. The horchata was creamy and cinnamony which definitely helped me cool off from that bite I took of the jalapeño. Another thing I'd like to mention is they served us bean and cheese dip upon sitting down. And they used black beans instead of pinto. It was AMAZING. Listen, if you're thinking of coming here, just do it. You won't regret it. Thanks for an awesome first meal, Taquero Mucho family! We hope you see this and know how much we enjoyed it. read more

Always very satisfied with whatever I ordered. Birria dishes are delicious. Friendly staff.

Taco Tuesday takes it to another level, Great friendly service and very clean location, relative new business, seems small family owned. You can taste the freshness of the tacos, on Wednesday the special is margarita, I've brought my coworkers and they have enjoyed the food. We have returned a few times and the consistency on the great food is there. Found a new small favorite Mexican restaurant. Try the Al pastor and pork rind and steak tacos, highly recommended read more

Oh my gosh! This place is so delicious! Great service and by far the most authentic Mexican restaurant I've found in Louisville!

This is the best Mexican food I've had in a long time. If you don't live close, it's worth the drive!

Everything was excellent and I can't wait to come back. read more
