La Cabana Mexican Restaurant

This place is always busy. Now we know why! The food is fresh and large portioned and the cocktails are super good. Try to the top shelf house margarita. Teresa got a KY Mule. Their bourbon selections is pretty great too! Megan took exceptional care of us. Teresa got the grilled chicken salad. It was yooge but very fresh. I chose the mixed fajita quesadilla and added chorizo- because I could. It was substantial too. A full meal for sure. The atmosphere here is super playful and comfortable. There's a good number of TVs if you're a foodie looking for the days games! We loved our time here and plan on returning when we're 'in the gorge' next.

This is one my favorite spots to eat at the Red River Gorge! Tasty Mexican food in the middle of a mountain town - who would've thunk!!The servers are super friendly and start you off with generous portions of FREE chips and salsa!! Yum! The salsa is tasty, too.My favorite orders are the tender pork carnitas. Melt in your mouth. And you'll also get a huge portion of rice and beans to go with it. I also recommend the molcajete options, which are grilled entrees on a hot lava bowl filled to the brim. The other day I ordered a seafood molcajete with a ton of grilled shrimp. (Seafood in Kentucky? Sure, why not!)I would dock some points for their very dry tacos and so-so guacamole, which kind of taste store bought. But I'll overlook those things in case it was an off night (I've come before and the taco was fine).Close your meal with some delectable fried ice cream or churros! The latter is a fine choice, as they're cream filled and come with a bowl of chocolate to dip. My friends love getting their huge margaritas here (Mango and lime are good options). Order a "becky," which is an extra shot of tequila if you're feeling crazy! I also like how they serve dark modello beer with lime. Classic. The food is filling and generous - perfect after a long day of hiking, climbing or other outdoor sports. Share an entree with your dining companion if you have a small stomach. Be prepared for huge portions!!They have the capacity to serve large groups here, and the fun and bright decor is always cheery. Buy t-shirts, toys or other knick knacks at the front desk.

My boyfriend and I went here during our trip to the red river gorge! We went close to close and they were able to serve us with no problem! The staff was very friendly and the manager even checked in with our table, which was super nice. Towards the end when they played the song closing time we did feel a little rushed but we understood! I ordered the la cabaña salad with a side of beans which was delicious and so fresh! The chicken in it was cooked perfectly. Chips and salsa were also good! Would recommend this place to anyone visiting the area & would come again!

The first time we ever went down to the gorge we drove past this restaurant at like 6 PM on a Friday night and there was a line out the door and the entire parking lot was packed so we knew that we would have to try it out. I am so glad we did this place was so cute and they actually had a really good food that was reasonably priced. we got fajitas and burritos and spiced specialty cocktails along with many other things. their server was extremely nice and very helpful considering we had never been there and kind of walked us through what's really good and what's not and then also discuss the specials and stuff like that. we were a little worried because eating Mexican food and then going back to your campground can kind of be worrisome but luckily the portions didn't overstuff us to where it feels like you can't move. it was the perfect amount. they also have this little store inside where you can buy T-shirts and sweatshirts and a bunch of other stuff just if you're in the area and want to collect some memorabilia. this is definitely a place you have a check out if you're in the area and we will definitely be back!!

Ate here and while the atmosphere was kind of cool, the food was inedible. I first ordered a taco salad and it tasted like it had dog food in it, switched out for a quesadilla which looked like they poured cheese on it. Chips and salsa which ate almost always a win for us was not even worth having. Very disappointing.

Ate there last week. Food is very mediocre. Nothing to write home about. Upon entering we weren't greeted by anyone. The hostess was too busy visiting with some other employees. We wondered if we were to seat ourselves and then the hostess finally realized we needed to be seated. C+ restaurant.

Probably some of the best Mexican food I have had in a long time. The restaurant was clean. It was decorated in bright colors and made you feel like you were in a fun place. Our waiter was charming, enthusiastic and patient. I had the Hillbilly Quesadilla. It was gigantic. Couldn't eat it all. I'm telling you it was delicious. Tasty authentic Mexican.

Food portions were HUGE! The HillBilly Quesdilla was so filling and the veggies inside were so yummy. The margs were good too! Our server was so lively and kind! Definitely a good spot for families or to grab a bite after hiking. The food was perfect after a full day on the trails!

Service was good, Taco Carne Asada was fantastic ! A+ in that.Queso came out cold so there is that, but service was good.

I'm not sure what we were expecting for a Mexican restaurant in Eastern KY, but this blew every expectation out of the water! Everything was delicious and the service was great.
