Louisville, KY

MexA Steak Tacos

In Monterrey, MexA's founder grew up with tacos made with steak (carne asada). After traveling throughout Mexico, she saw that steak tacos were being prepared in different ways in every city and region and liked them all. Each locale and each taco had a unique twist, different ingredients, and various types of tortillas. It was fascinating how one protein could offer so much variety and excitement, due to the combination of ingredients, flavors, textures, colors, and sizes of each steak taco. When she came to Louisville in 2008, she started having friends over for regular taco nights. Every time featured different steak tacos that shared a unique experience from Mexico. This evolved into MexA. They offer a unique and simple experience, the very best steak tacos, and showcase flavors from around Mexico.
