This place has very yummy burritos, and the horchata is the best I have had. The lady that served me let me try a sample and that convinced me to get a large. When you get a large, refills are only 0.70. I was in and out in five minutes.

This has long been one of my favorite places to stop whatever I’m in Louisville. I was driving from corner to Indiana today and had to make a stop just to have my favorite, steak and chorizo burrito.

Cactus and cow tongue? Nowhere else would I have imagined trying either in a spot, but I did just that on my vacation. The lengua tacos and baked cactus were straight-up delicacies which I still can’t believe I had first turned my nose up at. My loaded quesadilla was actually bigger than my head, and had to be saved for lunch the next day to complete. The horchata was the best I have had to date, and to feed four people a full feast we all had leftovers for was under 70. I wish we weren’t so tired and had taken more photos. The service was awesome and I now can honestly say I’ve had some incredible authentic food
