There are few foods in this world that can generally unite us all, and one of them has to be tacos. The beauty of a taco is you can get it in so many different ways, with different toppings and textures. This tasty food item is so popular, it even has its own designated day of the week, thanks to Taco Tuesdays. If you’re a taco fan and would like to try some of the best and most authentic ones in Kentucky, head to La Rosita in Louisville. These flavorful tacos are out of this world and surprisingly tucked inside this unassuming grocery store.

There are tacos and then there are authentic tacos. Those that are packed with Mexican flavor and unique when compared to the tacos we are used to from most restaurants. These are the type of tacos you will find at La Rosita — a little taco shop tucked inside a strip mall grocery store.
