  Awesome. Best and freshest Mexican food in town. Definitely try the lengua tacos, really tender and super flavorful even without any added salsa. The onions, lime, cilantro and everything else are literally prepared fresh right before your eyes when you order.

  Good Mexican food at a really good price. This place isn't fancy or upscale at all but the food is very tasty.  If Kentuckiana wants to know what real Mexican food tastes like, come here and forget about the craptastic 'authentic Mexican' restaurants that populate this part of the U.S.

  Authentic food.  Excellent.  We just wish we had known it was just around the corner from our house, sooner.  The place is hidden, we have driven by several times a day and never seen it.  My husband just brought home dinner from this place and I could eat it everyday, authentic, simple, real and delicious.

  So, we're traveling down I-64 headed to the Louisville Airport when we decide to let our GPS guide us to a local restaurant.  i press the buttons and up comes Tenda El'probedor.  ok ... sounds Spanish ... we decide to stop.
  
  Our GPS guides us to a little complex off of the main highway, we can't really see the restaurant! We explore a bit deeper and find it located on the side of the building.  It's really just a small hole in the  wall restaurant, apparently catering to the local Hispanic community.   Fine, we say, let's go in.
  
  It's a mixed mini-restaurant and Mexican grocery store.  They have a small counter up front, in the back (behind food shelves) are picnic tables covered with table cloths - the three tables are full of customers.  It looks as though they do as much carry out as they do inside dining.  The menu is on a white board above the counter - largely is Spanish - mostly tacos, soups, burritos.
  
  And they are very nice!  When we were arrived, two women were running the counter with their children.  They explained all of the items - it's all authentic Mexican.  Don't be afraid to ask questions ~BECAUSE~ the food is great!  We order chicken burritos and (soft) steak tacos.  The food was fresh, warmed, and delicious.  Soft drinks are pulled from s stand-up cooler (my wife had a Peach soda - I had bottled water).  Fresh cilantro - 2 kinds of salsa (green and red).  Honestly ... what's not to like.
  
  If you're used to the standard American version of the Mexican restaurant ... you usually get an entree with a side of beans and rice.  You also expect a basket of chips.  This is ~NOT~ what Tenda El,probedor is about.  They are an authentic Mexican restaurant.  The food is freshly made - and deliver by the family (a young boy appeared at the table with a bottle opener to open Julie's soda).  While (maybe) not for everybody ... I love these little places.  They are a departure from manufactured pre-made food .. they're a joy to those of us lucky enough to appreciate them.
  
  They are now on my list .... my next trip to Southern Indiana will definitely assure a visit to Tenda El'Probedor!
