It is not very hard to find a Mexican restaurant in most Kentucky towns, but finding mind blowing Mexican food is a little more difficult. We are quite fond of Hispanic cuisine, and really enjoy fresh foods prepared in the authentic tradition. It takes a special touch to hang onto tradition and maintain the perfect taste in your product. When it happens, you experience melt in your mouth food that is more addictive than… whatever you find addictive.
Here are 13 Kentucky restaurants with mind blowing Mexican food:
The décor is colorful and very decorative with festive seating. They have a daily lunch special, including the occasional tacos for $1 each, which are way better than Taco Bell. They also have delicious shredded chicken Chimichangas and a Burrito Grande that is absolutely wonderful. The food is served in generous portions and you will never experience "wilted" lettuce here, which is always good.

From their complimentary chips and salsa to appetizers and combos, this is a great Tex Mex restaurant in the area. You will find friendly service, generous portions and freshly prepared foods. (Plus, the homemade sauce is incredible.)
It has been said you can close your eyes, point to anything on their menu, and you will leave full, satisfied, and with a to-go box for lunch the next day. Their chimichanga is delicious, as are their chips and homemade salsa.

This is not your Tex Mex style food, but it is authentic Mexican. The guacamole is absolutely incredible, as you will find most things are on the menu.

The service is always great here and the food is fresh, hot and delicious. They tend to open the doors even if a foot of snow is on the ground, and still provide quick service with quality food. Las Penas has daily specials like Chili Verde, Polleno, and Burritos, along with a unique green sauce rice that is really tasty. Some residents say this is the best Mexican place within 100 miles.
Service is always done with a smile here and the food is awesome. The Mole sauce really stands out as a tasty, along with the very fresh chili rellano. The pepper is not mushy like some places and they use the perfect amount of cheese. This is a must-visit for the Lancaster area.

This has been deemed the best Mexican food in the northern area via residents. The Chimichito and the shrimp fajitas are both amazing, along with the variety of tacos, burritos and other traditional Mexican fare. The fajitas in general are worth experiencing and the sides are always fresh.
This is a small place that doesn’t look like much outside, but it is well worth the visit. They have every type of taco you can imagine with a variety of different homemade sauces. ETL has the best fish tacos I’ve had in the city, and sweet potato fries with a unique pineapple dipping sauce. Try a few different types, as it will be hard to make up your mind about which taco to eat. Try a few more next time… and there will be a next time. Taco portions are quite generous and very filling. I highly recommend this place.
Each one of these wonderful Hispanic restaurants offer a great selection at a reasonable price. Portions tend to be very generous, and the food is always fresh and delicious. Homemade sauces will have you looking up recipes, as packaged things will never be the same. Have you been to any of these Mexican restaurants?
