Let me just tell you, I love this place! The food is great, the atmosphere is even better, and the service is top-notch. I first came here when I was in town for work and had the fajitas. They were great! The house margarita is amazing and super strong! when I visited again tonight, they had live music (great!). If you come by yourself, the bar is a great place to be in the back. The bartender is super nice. All of the servers are very friendly and want to make sure you have great service. Highly recommend this place for a business traveler, or family, or date night. All of the above! Five stars for sure! Seriously, it’s a hidden gem!!

It had lots of veggies and a side of rice! My husband loved the fajita chicken and steak taco salad! The salsa was the best I’ve ever had!!!! Must try!!!! Not too expensive for what you get! Huge order!!!!

We stopped by while staying in Hillview. The nice lady over at the hotel suggested that we try the restaurant.

Service, atmosphere, n ambiance of the place is great. Their house salsa leaves a lot to be desired it’s very bland. The house margarita was carbonated n weird, one of the worst I’ve had, but the lizard drink was AWESOME, as were our entrees. We will definitely go back.

One of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve ever eaten at. Beautiful and lively atmosphere. Great service, and the food is fantastic. Portions are generous and ingredients are high quality. This is definitely my new go to spot when I have to spend the night at Pilot.

Ate dinner here last night. Although the food was seasoned well it was all served barely warm. The little bowl of black beans were the only thing served hot The chips were cold too. The hair band rock music that was playing was not good. The lighting was dim in our booth which made it difficult to read the menu. The booth we sat in was awful. My knees touched the bottom of the table, so it was like eating out of my own lap. The led rope light in the middle of the dining room was awful.

Great twist on tradition Mexican. Cool atmosphere that sticks with the bourbon, derby, Louisville vibes. Food was portioned well except for the massive drinks. Conveniently you won’t need a refill. It’s a bit loud with all the hard surfaces and open ceiling, so wasn’t exactly an ideal spot for a date. Will be back!
