The most beautiful thing in this place is staff. One lady gave us a short tips on what places to visit in Louisville (in a photo). Great tacos and margarita

I had the hot chicken and the mac n cheese. Both were fantastic. Jessica was a great server. She constantly made sure that our drinks were full and even brought to-go cups without us asking.

The Sangratini is their awesome version of a tequila Bloody Mary! Respectable craft beer selection. Check out their Shot of the Day menu. My favorite watering hole right now.

The mac&cheese side was a meal - creamy and delish. Nice partner with the whiskey. Great bartenders.

Grab a shot of the day and try the Chorizo and Shrimp Torta! Or if you're in the mood for a taco, get the Arrachera and the Crispy Fish!

Ben, you all did a great job. Will stop in next time I am in town. Maybe the street light will be repaired from the old guy that hit it last night.

The Queso Fundido burger was amazing. Definitely loved the menu & specialty cocktails. Great service too.

Great tortilla soup & carne asada. Don't forget your Humana discount.

Get their cracklin' chicken wings for appetizer, so delicious!

The food was tasty (especially the bacon appetizer), even if the music was a little too loud (and not to my taste) and the service could have been better.

Queso with Chorizo is crack. Green Chili Pork taco is ridiculously good.

Fun bar and great drinks!

AVOID. Though they encourage people to eat here before Yum Center events, you'll just be told all of the tables are reserved for the owner (but they'll also tell you they don't accept reservations)

Try a Good Old' Manny if you are in the mood for some Tequila.

Our bartender made a great margarita but was the worst at service. Ordered an app but when we tried to order more food we were told the kitchen was closed. Our empty drinks were ignored as well.

El Jafe Nachos are delish!

Hamburgers are processed and only mediocre at best. Tacos are fair; but too expensive for what you get. Nachos app is the best item on the menu.

Skip it! Better places for food. Know THIS IS A BAR! Food/service is 2nd. Slow. Ordered a salad to start and tacos. Salad came after, tacos were COLD! Server had not a clue.
