Don Señor Mexican Grill - Morehead
Don Señor Mexican Grill
Description
Tucked in Morehead, Kentucky, this bustling Mexican spot is beloved for bold, well-executed dishes—fajitas, chips and salsa and a California burrito earn frequent praise—and a warm, community-minded staff. Evenings are lively and affordably priced ($10–30), with a cozy, casual atmosphere that draws regulars. Criticisms include occasional cold plates, staggered service for groups and rare curt interactions, though management has addressed complaints. Expect a regional Kentucky take on Mexican cuisine rather than authentic SoCal/Mexican flavors.

I absolutely love every experience I've had at this restaurant. It's the best local eatery in Morehead. My wife and I dine here regularly, and the staff really gets to know you. They enjoy interacting with the regulars in the community. Once again, the service is always excellent, and the Mexican food is the best around.
To start, this is not the type of Mexican food you would find in Southern California, Arizona, or Mexico. However, for Kentucky, it outshines many of the other Mexican restaurants in the region. The salsa has a flavor similar to marinara, and like many Mexican eateries in Kentucky, there's cheese sauce featured in the dishes. It would be fantastic to uncover some authentic Mexican cuisine here in Kentucky, but so far, I haven't come across it.
I ordered chicken nachos, and they were quite disappointing. The chicken was in large chunks instead of being shredded properly, and it wasn't served hot. After mustering the courage to let my server know about my dissatisfaction, she responded curtly, saying it wasn't her problem and that I should talk to management if I had complaints. I did contact management, and they kindly took the item off my bill. Overall, it was a very unpleasant experience, and I cannot recommend this restaurant.
