Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Are you kidding me? My daughter & I went here on our 'date night' bc we're new to the area & wanted to check out something local. Saw the 4/5 ratings & decides to give it a shot. Everything on our combination platter looked & tasted the same. Soooo bland & yuck, to include a long, white unidentified object in the chicken enchilada. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is bc the chips & salsa were great as well as friendly service. We'll be going back to El Caporal on Bardstown Rd.

Fantastic Mexican food. Went right after lunch rush time and the place still had a few people! As soon as we came in they had chips and salsa for us. We we're serve super quickly, within 8 minutes of ordering! The food was delicious. I ordered the Carnitas and they where very moist and tender. Very cheap prices to, I only paid $10 with tip for the food. Another great find, thanks to Yelp!

Great food. OK deco. Pretty good priceing. We chose to go here over the El Nopal when craving Mexican Food. Queso = happy tummy.

I'm not sure when all these people giving rave reviews went here but our service and food was some of the worst I've had to date. Their strawberry and raspberry margaritas taste like cough syrup. The only good thing about the dinner we had was the chorizo cheese dip. Which had to be re-ordered because he brought out the wrong thing the first time. Downfalls were the wait staff's failure to listen when ordering, runny burritos, in recognizable meat, and in attentiveness. Yep, I think that about sums it up.

Consistently good food and service. I mostly go during lunch, and the quick service is greatly appreciated. Building Is nothing fancy, but the place is nice and clean, and decorated well.

Delicious food. Tasty carne asada and reasonable prices. Will come again if in town.

I have been here several times and I have always received the best service. In fact, I rate this restaurant # 1 when it comes to service. While I may have had service elsewhere that was a better (over-the-top, sugary-good service), I rank this one so high because the service is consistently, sincerely, good. They have a large menu of affordable combinations, entrees, etc. I spend, on average, $10-$15, including tip. UPDATE: As a recent-turned-vegetarian, I am pleased to see a good handful of meatless items on the menu. I've loved this place for so long and I was afraid that would change with the new diet.... but it has not. While a several items will cheese and bean you to death, they still have a few options beyond that. I love the Vegetarian Fajita. The restaurant has mostly booth seating, which I love. This restaurant, which is in an old Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken, is just the right size. It is well lit and decorated with flag streamers, neon, and other Mexican decor. Though the place appears to have been around the block a few times, it is clean (again, it's a "hole-in-the-wall"). The exterior was completely repainted in the summer of 2008. I can't rate the restrooms because, I have somehow managed to never use them. UPDATE: The interior has been updated as well (2011). The dining area has been repainted and expanded (the side of the kitchen must've been reduced a little). It looks good and it's nice to see the owner's investing in their restaurant. This place will not make you say "Wow!!," but I think anyone (who likes Mexican food) will enjoy his/her visit... and want to return). This place is good for singles, friends, couples, families... everyone.

Why are you so delicious? Seriously? What are you putting in your food because there is no logical explanation for this madness. The mushroom quesadilla is so tasty I would honestly order it as my last meal before death. No joke. The food amount is obscene, like, to the point I feel almost naughty eating as much as I do. Seriously, someone needs to investigate this. The staff is friendly as hell, too. Something smells fishy... maybe its the fish tacos.

Excellent chips & salsa and menu. The food was very good tonight! I have been going to this location approx once every couple of months for the past 3 years. We always have good service and food!

Love El Tarasco!! The chicken flautas are amazing. Great service, super fast and always friendly. Have to admit I tried El Nopal across the street and will never eat there again. They don't compare to El Tarasco :)

My Husband and I LOVE El Tarasco! We first started out going to the one on New Cut, but after moving to the East End of the city, we started going to the one in St. Matthews. Both are DELICIOUS! The chips are always warm and we can never get enough of the salsa. The food is always correct and doesn't take that long to come out to you. The servers are always very nice to us and make sure we have everything we need. Also, My husband usually orders a beer when we eat there, and I usually get a Peach daiquiri. When I order the smaller size, they always bring me the extra left over from making it as well, so you actually get more than what you order/pay for. If you order the larger size IT IS HUGE!!! We recommend any couple stopping for a nice dinner together to try the fajitas for two. We order it often, you get A LOT of food, more than enough for 2 people, and the price can not be beat!

Good Mexican food. Had a chile relleno, with taco and enchilada and sides of beans and rice. The entire dish was flavorful and tasty. Would come back again if i lived in the area.

After reading everyone's comments, being from out of town, I selected this place to experience some fajitas. Steak, of course. The chips and salsa were good (not spectacular, I'm more a fan of a thinner chip than the thicker ones here, they lacked salt, so had to salt them up a lot, but that isn't a big deal). The salsa itself was really good (the hot, didn't try the mild). The steak fajitas hit the spot, I had the dinner portion and it was well piled on with meat, onions and peppers. I certainly didn't leave hungry. The reason for the knock off of a star was the service. While adequate, it wasn't what I expected (I came in middle of afternoon, three other parties there, not exactly a heavy load). Never asked if the meal was OK and I had to flag him down to get another set of shells. And ... slightly worse ... his cologne was overpowering (so, sort of a blessing he didn't come around a lot...). If I had to pick between here and my home town Jose Peppers, well, Jose Peppers would win. Locally, though, I'd probably return here as the salsa is great and the portion size is good too.

Went there this weekend for my birthday. I really wanted to give more stars., But the food was generally not what I wanted. The salsa is INCREDIBLE though and you must always ask for extra. The guacamole is awesome as well., Service was good though.

My family & friends go here often, and though it may not look it at first glance, this place is excellent. Try the chicken nachos if in doubt!
(5)Rob R.
