My husband and I had lunch here on Sunday and thought it was delicious! We both ordered 3 tacos each. He had the Lengua (beef tongue) and I ordered the Chorizo. The tacos were very filling and I was stuffed after having three. I also had a Mexican Coke and my husband tried a Guatemalan beer. It is a bit of a 'dive' and the bathroom could use a good cleaning. Also, the smell of sewage, likely from the improper draining of oil into the floor drains that happens in many small restaurants, was unpleasant. But the food was amazing!

An actual hole in the wall I was thrilled to discover. In all honestly this may be the best Mexican food I have had in the area. The exterior isn't extravagant like the other restaurants on the street which is a key indicator that the focus is on the food. Humble interior and you get buy your own choice of drink from the refrigerator.The tacos were phenomenal. House made fresh corn tortillas with your choice of meat with onions & cilantro - Al pastor was incredible. Came out piping hot with hot sauce and salsa verde at the table. We also split a Marrano Mix - grilled shrimp, steak, chicken with chorizo that comes in a molcajete. Also came with refried beans, rice, and fresh tortillas. Already looking forward to coming back!

Frequent visitor to the area staying at the Marriot Rivercenter. Decided to dodge the fusion joints on the street for something authentic. I travel the world and have decided (IMO) the best food is always in the least flashy places, ie back alleys, market stalls and street vendors. Never satisfied with the food at the trendy joints with $30 margaritas. This is an incredibly good and authentic little taqueria. It's easy to miss if you aren't looking for it, specifically. Wasn't quite certain how to navigate after entering the door...I just made my way up to the counter grabbed a soda from the cooler and ordered with the kind woman at the register. The true test (in my opinion) of a good taqueria is how many options are available (let's say, for a taco) and then how well they execute on those lesser ordered options. Ordered the tacos tripas and they were perfect. Nice and crispy on the outside, but not overdone, seasoned to perfection. Everything's fresh, good salsa, good service and cheap prices. Also it's clean and they took pride in their food. What more could anyone ask of a taqueria?Will be back the next time I'm in the neighborhood.

5/5 Stars. This place is the authentic Mexican that mainstrausse needed. Everything we had was so fresh, authentic, and well-priced. I got the tacos, while my boyfriend enjoyed the Torta (which is a Mexican sandwich). When I tell you we have not stopped thinking/talking about the torta since he had it months ago. It was life changing. I ordered the Michelada which I love to see- had all the necessities down to a chamoy straw. Go here if you want some true authentic Mexican.

I am bummed out that it took me longer to get here. it looks a bit nondescript from the street but the experience blew me away. you come in and sit down and someone will come and take your order. I had the Merrano which is one giant plate of protein. It came with cheese, chicken, steak, Peppers and onions. it was so delicious! It also came with tortillas as well as beans and rice. I would definitely get this next time.I bulk at the gym, so this was definitely necessary. I feel like this place offers many opportunities to get lots of protein. My friends had some tacos as well as other Other types of protein and they were very pleased. spices were great and just overall the food was cooked very well. Friendly service and definitely good to the local community. you know what's good when you are eating with people around you very much enjoying their food. can't wait to try it again!

I've had less than stellar luck with more traditional Mexican food in Kentucky. And the ones that have had some level of promise have price tags that don't make sense. Don't expect a never ending pile of chips at San Miguel but you should expect some of the best tacos you've had in a very very long time. If you are craving Traditional style with 2 corn tortillas and a pile on onion and cilantro, this is your place. I took a tour of the tacos with chorizo, langua, carnitas, and al pastor. Hoping to find what they were strongest in if I were to come back. I will be back and I'd be thrilled with any of the above. The gf went with a chorizo quesadilla. I was excited because she rarely finishes a plate and that means I get her scraps! The dilla was pretty large but she said she just couldn't stop eating it. I did get a couple bites and it was perfect. I can't wait to go back

Best Mexican food I've ever tasted! It's a taste explosion and very authentic. You could walk by this place without even knowing it's here but you will be glad you found this place! Wow!

Food was average at best, your typical hike in the wall Mexican restaurant... but cheap store bought chips, salsa has zero flavor and the tacos were super skinny with minimal meat. Don't waste your time, there's much better in the area

DO NOT USE CARD HERE. Food was good, but I recommend paying cash. After visiting, the next day I noticed a few Amazon charges from the previous day. And the food was the only thing I purchased that day. I disputed them and I'm not 100% sure it came form this restaurant, but just something to be cautious of.
