Twig And Leaf

Twig and Leaf is not what it used to be. I hadn't been since it reopened under new ownership, but I've been hearing the buzz about authentic Guatemalan cuisine. Apparently, it's served everyday except Tuesday. You'll have to get your taco Tuesday fix elsewhere and save this place for every other day of the week.I had the Guatemalan taco platter. I've heard it's the most authentic around. I haven't been to Guatemala to be able to confirm those accolades, but I can confirm that these tacos are phenomenal. My husband and children ordered chicken and pork tacos and our experience was both affordable and a crowd pleaser. There were multiple sauces available on the table, but my favorite was the one on my plate. It was spicy, but not so spicy that it overpowered the flavor of the tacos themselves. It was super fresh tasting with cilantro and chunks of avocado. The meat portions were generous. It's hard to imagine the meals I had decades ago were from the same location now serving these tacos. If you're a Louisville native and haven't been back, it's time to give this place another try. The atmosphere has changed. The food has changed. The service has changed. All for the better. We look forward to putting this restaurant in our regular rotation!

Love the service here. This place is amazing, I come at least three times a month. It's just a nice place to come and relax and enjoy great breakfast food.

New ownership and new menu. The authentic tacos are really quite delicious. Tried and assortment - chicken, pastor, chorizo and all were extremely tasty, mixing zesty flavors with fresh veggies. The Tostados and Taquitos made for a lot of food, but were delicious in their own. Queso isn't on the menu yet but they serve it so be sure to ask - it has a kick that adds another layer to an already good app. This is a big step uo from the old menu. The old school vibe is still similar but the new owners are incredibly friendly and warm. Encourage you to try it out!

It's crazy that this place doesn't have more stellar reviews than I see here. My experience was top notch! We had the papusas and empanadas, and I couldn't get enough of it. Perfectly seasoned and authentically prepared. Inexpensive, large potions. Service with a smile! Plus I can't resist a quaint diner setting like this. I can't wait to come back and sample every single thing on their Guatemalan menu.

I have been past this place many times as often as I have been on Bardstown Road and never came here until recently with a friend. They have changed their hours from 7am-3pm as of this review being posted, we basically came here for an early lunch since they close early. Street parking available, we went in at around 1-1:30 in the afternoon. Place was somewhat busy and there were a few empty tables, most of them hadn't been wiped off yet but, I'm giving the benefit of the doubt beings there was a counter/server and only one cook that we could see working. Coming in there is an overwhelming old building smell that I will say is unappealing but, this place is old so it is expected. We did find one table that looked somewhat clean and sat there. It did take a few minutes to be waited on. We both ordered the Single Twig which is a Single patty burger. I got seasoned fries and my friend got the crinkle. Now to the food. I will say the burger was well cooked which that's how we like it. Not the best burger out there but it was decent. Seasoned fries were delicious. We were both satisfied with the food and left full. My understanding they used to be open later but, I assume that there isn't enough help like it is most everywhere. I hope to see them open later at some point in time and hopefully I can come in earlier and try their breakfast that is served from open to close.

Twig and Leaf is the spotttt. They have saved me from every hangover UofL gave me and always have fast, amazing service. Severely underrated place, only sharing the secret because I graduated and moved away so y'all can go pack it now!

Twig and Leaf now has a Mexican/ Guatemalan menu after 4 pm. The food is amazing, portions large and the prices are very low! .We usually try to eat at different places all the time, but the food is so great here we've been back 3 times in 2 weeks. Everything we've had has been wonderfully flavored; their green and red sauces are the bomb. My favorite so far is the campechano gorditos. Highly recommend!

Food is pretty good and portions are also fair, service is great, diner atmosphere, great place for food and coffee in morning

Food was exellent. Highly recommend large potions also vey friendly Will be back Again for sure

Oh boy, where do I begin?First, I'll start with the positives because there were a couple! The breakfast food was hot and pretty yummy. We came in at 9am on a weekday so it was very quiet. Now for the rough stuff:- It took exactly 40 minutes from us walking in, to receiving our food, despite us being the only people seated for most of our visit. We waited probably 20 minutes before even ordering our food which was wild.- One of our forks had food on it. - Our waitress looked and acted like she wanted to be literally anywhere but serving us. We tried hard to be very friendly and bring some sunshine to her day but it seemed like that only made her more annoyed with us (I will say, by the end she had a hint of joy).- When it was time to pay, they used a good, old-fashioned calculator and register to total everything up which I'm all for! Love the ancient systems, when they're used correctly. But a he typed up our order 3x before giving us a total that was at least $10 more than what it should've been but at that point, we just let it go and took the L.Def won't be back here again
