Hand-mashed tortillas, slow-braised meats, and salsas made from scratch every morning. This is the taste your neighborhood has been missing.
What We Serve
Every dish starts with ingredients we source fresh daily. No shortcuts, no frozen shortcuts — just honest Mexican cooking.
Corn tortillas, double-stuffed. Choose from birria, carnitas, al pastor, carne asada, or chorizo — all finished with fresh cilantro, onion, and our house salsa.
Flour tortilla, grilled until blistered and golden. Packed with Oaxaca cheese and your choice of meat — add guacamile or roasted peppers for extra.
Flour tortilla rolled tight with Mexican rice, refried beans, your choice of protein, cheese, and salsa. Built to keep you satisfied for hours.
Roasted tomatillo, habanero-lime, chipotle, and our signature salsa verde. All prepared fresh each morning. Pair with crispy elote or guacamole.
Horchata, jamaica, tamarindo, and agua de chía — all made from concentrate-free recipes. Served ice-cold. Soda and bottled agua mineral also available.
Need more than a snack? Try our combos — tacos or burrito with rice, beans, and a drink. The full experience, built for hungry people.
Menu items subject to seasonal availability. Please ask your server about ingredients and allergens.

Proudly serving New Albany and the greater Louisville area with authentic flavors.
Our Story
Taquería el Cerrito started with a simple belief: the best tacos don't need a fancy setting — they need fresh ingredients, real technique, and the kind of care that comes from generations of cooking.
Every morning, our kitchen begins before dawn. Tortillas are hand-pressed, salsas are roasted, and every ingredient is chosen with the same standard we'd hold at our own table. That's not a marketing line — it's just how we do things.
Located on East Spring Street, we've become a quiet staple in New Albany's food scene. Not because we chase trends, but because we refuse to cut corners. When you sit down at el Cerrito, you're eating food made the way it should be made.
