Los Volcanes Mexican Restaurant
About This Spot
Stepping into Los Volcanes Mexican Restaurant in Bowling Green feels like entering a welcoming corner of authentic, slowed-down joy. The space is larger than you might expect from the unassuming exterior, offering plenty of room to settle in and soak up the blend of familiar warmth and subtle surprises. Whether you catch the gentle pulse of 80s rock mingling with Mexican pop or the quiet hum of neighbors sharing a meal, there’s an unhurried rhythm here that invites you to linger.
This is a place where the staff’s kindness quietly shapes the experience, making each guest feel seen without fuss. The atmosphere leans into comfortable familiarity rather than spectacle, a spot where locals come not only for the food but for the feeling of true hospitality and peaceful connection.
The kitchen keeps things genuine and approachable, crafting dishes that echo the vibrant street-food culture of Mexico with a touch of homey care. Expect small, thoughtfully prepared tacos that are more about tasting several flavors in one sitting than piling a plate high—a casual invitation to explore seasoning, texture, and tradition. From crisp tortillas layered with seasoned cheese to brothy soups and savory cocktails, the food gently encourages you to slow down and appreciate each bite. The best part is how everything—from the salsa to the sauces to the unexpected touches in classic recipes—feels well loved and purposefully crafted without trying too hard.
Los Volcanes isn’t just about filling your appetite; it’s a place where the quiet moments between bites—the clink of glasses, the friendly nod from your server, the salty tang of salsa—add to the texture of an evening that’s both easy and quietly satisfying. It’s the kind of low-key spot that might surprise you by how much comfort and delight it quietly offers, wrapped in authenticity and that rare sense of ease.

I absolutely love this place. I'm always surprised it isn't busy all the time.. but I also enjoy the peace and quiet. The staff is super sweet. Anything with the al pastor is amazing. I have a strong preference for the sopas. They are like carnival tacos. They're always hot and crispy, and the Pico is seasoned! They use a special cheese in their quesadilla that my husband loves. The margaritas are cheap and and strong and tasty. They have the big glass bottles of Mexican Coke too. I would highly recommend this place for date night. Honestly it's the only Mexican place in Bowling Green I'll go to anymore.

Waitress was welcoming and attentive. Music was 80s rock at first, then Mexican pop. Tacos are quite small - more a tasting plate than a proper meal - but extremely tasty. Chimichanga, likewise, was textbook. My dish, the name of which I cannot recall, included unpeeled shrimp smothered in a savory red sauce, beans and rice, French fries, and a small assortment of veg. Delicious, if somewhat hard to eat without the sauce getting everywhere (unless I was supposed to eat it without removing the heads first?). Atmosphere is warm, an excellent little hole in the wall. Not the best Mexican in the area, but not bad by half. Recommended.

Great food, exceptional service, and quality cuisine. It's a lot bigger than you think as well, if you have only seen it from the outside. Plenty of seating, live entertainment area, and ambient scenery. Highly recommend!

4.5 stars Stopped into Los Volcanes on the strength of the reviews, and I agree it's a pretty darn good taco. They opened promptly at 11 am and were sitting folks with music pumping. Water and chips came out quickly. Menu is fairly straightforward, but feel free to ask what something is. The taco chicas are small street tacos with onions and cilantro. I had almost all of them just to try the flavors, and they all were good. I removed some on the onions, though. Rice was flavorful, and the salsa for the chips was good. Overall, a good lunch!

The best and most reasonable priced street tacos in Bowling Green Ky! This place offers taco specials throughout the week with some tacos being like 1.25 and they are great; however even when full priced the tacos are amazing and tasty. I highly recommend eating here and getting some authentic tacos. This taco tray below is $30 for 15 tacos with all the sides and you can’t beat this deal!

Had a really good experience here. Good service and the food was great. I recommend the #10 combo.

Los Volcanes has hands down some of the, if not the best tacos in Bowling Green. They are so flavorful and the sauces they have make them even better. Very authentic street style tacos. Would highly recommend this place to anyone.
