Fresh & delicious! It's worth the wait since you know they make everything at your time of order. 14 for 4 good sized tacos (and i already demolished the 2 not shown in the photo lol...)

One of the best tacos I've had in USA that resemble Mexican tacos. The flavorwas directly on point. The quantity was more than enough. I was full by the time i finished my second taco. They have a side condiment bar, where many options are available to add on to the tacos. I recommend the onions and pickled jalapenos. And if your a spice lover like myself then the "green jalapeno" sauce as well. Fill it- dip it- bite it- repeat! WOW

Taco Tuesday all the way! Visiting Louisville for the first time from Canada -hubby and I shared six tacos with a side order of rice and beans. If you choose to have just one taco you can also have small side orders added as a combo for an additional 275 otherwise the sides were each under 3 for those pictures in the attached. The soft tacos were well presented and most of all delicious. The sidebar of Salsas and condiments- including pickled onions jalapenos carrots multiple types of salsas and jalapenos and onions- allowed each individual to customize their particular taco adding to the overall experience. We tried six different kinds of tacos including steak chicken pork pork and pineapple fried fish and deep fried fish. We both especially enjoyed the fish and fried fish tacos with the green creamy salsa. There is nothing I would change- the service was fast, the food was delicious and based on this being Taco Tuesday it was an amazing economical meal. Just as a side note the tacos that are on sale on Taco Tuesday or the soft tacos but there are a variety of other items on the menu to satisfy any other particular Mexican food craving. The staff were exceptionally helpful - the manager was very kind when we were confused about the options and provided support to make it a wonderful experience. The restaurant and washroom were both very clean. We had beautiful weather and they had the patio doors open which made us feel like we were in Mexico. Presentation of the food itself was exceptional - when you look at the picture you will see how fresh all of the toppings are on each Taco including cilantro and fresh lettuce and guacamole. We highly recommend

We stopped after the Kentucky Derby. It says Mexican food from San Diego. I lived in San Diego for 13 years and I was pleasantly surprised that the food tasted authentic. We ordered a few different burritos, tacos, chips, side of beans & churros. Everything was delicious. We enjoyed the condiment bar with different salsas, spicy carrots, etc... HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Stopped for lunch with my son. Birria Ramen is fantastic. Flavorful without too much excess grease. I’ll probably get some extra cilantro next time but no complaints, it was early on a Sunday so not busy whatsoever and service was great

Bandidos is absolutely delicious and the service is just as great. You can’t go wrong with anything you order here. My favorites are the carne asada street style Tijuana tacos and carne aside super fries. The flavor is spot on and they always make everything fresh!

This is their newest location and was delicious as we expected it to be. There's a nostalgia for me at the original location, but the food is great at any of them. Highly recommended 10/10

My new favorite restaurant!!! Affordable!! Good size portion. I ordered the diablo shrimp quesadilla. The habanero sauce from the condiment bar was soooo good!! Shrimp was a good size!! Diablo sauce was good! Pico was fresh. The strawberry margarita was really good also!! If I could give 10 stars, I would! Really good restaurant and can't wait to go back!
