Where Kentucky Met Mexico and Stayed

El Mariachi started with a single kitchen and a commitment to cooking Mexican food the real way — no shortcuts, no compromises. Louisville tasted it, came back for more, and made it family.

Fast, courteous service with a very extensive menu and drink options. The atmosphere was authentic, with plenty of seating in a spacious, comfortable setting—incredible food and drinks.
