Martinez Tacos

As someone from San Diego, where carne asada tacos are practically a way of life, I have pretty high standards. I wasn't sure what to expect when I stopped by Martinez Tacos here in KY, but they absolutely did not disappoint!The carne asada was tender and cooked to perfection--juicy, flavorful, and just the right amount of seasoning. Even the corn tortillas were on point, which is a detail that can make or break a taco experience for me.If you're in the area and craving authentic tacos, I highly recommend stopping by Martinez Tacos. You won't regret it!

The asado and cabeza tacos that I had were good. The staff were friendly and the place fairly clean. But everything is very expensive for a taqueria. I assume that due to the close proximity to the airport many of their customers may be on business trips with expense accounts and therefore not concerned about the high prices?

I had an interesting interaction at this restaurant today. I was referred to go there by one of my employees at the airport. I have been there a few times and the food was pretty good. Today I must share my interaction. I came there after work at the airport and ordered a Torta with beef. I was shocked to see how big the bread was for the sandwich and how much steak was going on my sandwich. I was talking to my girlfriend at the time and she wanted to see what I was talking about. As they were making the sandwich I took pictures of them preparing it. The owners were sitting down at a table eating and an older lady walked up to me at the counter and asked me why I was taking pictures. I responded my girlfriend wanted to se the sandwich. The older lady then asked me "Are you sure or do you like young girls???!!!!". I was so shocked she had the audacity to ask me such a question. I showed her the pictures and showed her I was on the phone with my girlfriend and the pictures were sent there. Her family table of women then apologized for the ladies comments but of course the older lady didn't feel like she deserved to give me an apology. I will NEVER step foot in the restaurant again and will tell all of my acquaintances at CVG airport my story. I'm not sure if this was a racist act but they will not recieve another cent from me. I can eat good food anywhere but I will not be made to feel insulted and pay you on top of it. I can just say customer service is something that is missing here. I refuse to eat anywhere that will have owners ask such a pathetic question. She didn't know if I was posting here at YELP to advise others to eat there. Well I am posting for just the opposite. I asked the lady for an apology and she shunned me. Airport Employee that demands better service.

Wow! While waiting on a flight to arrive, I decided to check out the small taco spot nearby. Located next to the only gas station off of the airport exit, I figured I'd try it out while I waited. Soo glad I did! The menu has a selection of things I'm familiar with and some that I wasn't. So I went for the unfamiliar. Beef tongue empanadas! Totally different from the Caribbean style empanadas I was accustomed too. Deep fried deliciousness. The service was great and the ambiance was to be expected, located next to a gas station. Definitely will pay them a visit every time I need to venture in that direction!

It doesn't look like much from the outside but the food is top-notch. Simple counter ordering system with no frills. Grab a Jarritos and wait for your food. I got the Pastor and Pollo tacos. I would ask for extra lime and Verde next time. Great place.

Solid tasty food. Friendly service. Clean restaurant and bathrooms, broken dryer and no paper towel holder but women's at least had a roll. Seats about 24. Definitely will be back when we are in the area.

The food and the service are good. Restaurant is kept clean but in my opinion the food is way overpriced for the small portions they give you.

Service good, food terrible!Quesadillas with no cheese. Barely toasted.Burrito stuffed w/ rice, paid for beef

I had a chicken burrito. Burrito was good, dipping sauce made it pretty tasty. However, the amount of chicken is about 1/3 or what you get at Chipotle. A much higher percentage of rice and other and other ingredients at Martinez. So for me, the value is not great when the burrito is $14 vs $9 at Chipotle for a lot more protein.

I was blown out of the water with the beef tongue tacos . The meat was super tender and juicy the way is supposed to be. I will definitely recommend Martinez tacos anyone that is looking to satisfy a craving for good tacos . Stop by and check the rest of the menu items. I am from Texas but these tacos were supreme
