Authentic Mexican cooking, right here in Shelbyville
El Mexico has been a fixture of the Shelbyville community since 1991, serving traditional recipes made with fresh, quality ingredients. From sizzling fajitas to hearty combination plates, every dish is prepared to make guests feel like family — and every visit is treated as an important one.
Steak, chicken, and seafood share the menu with the classics: tacos, guacamole, quesadillas, and more. It's the kind of warm, welcoming spot Shelbyville keeps coming back to.
Taste the best of Mexico
A few of the dishes Shelbyville keeps ordering, again and again.
Bold flavors. Authentic Mexico.
Every plate leaving the kitchen carries a little bit of tradition — grilled over open flame, finished with fresh salsas, and served the way it's been done since 1991.

What Shelbyville is saying
"On a first visit, the fish tacos hit the mark, and the table's chicken nachos and beef fajitas went over just as well."
A party of six left full and happy — fresh food, generous portions, and a server who treated the table like family from start to finish. The California burrito and tomatillo sauce were standout picks, and a return visit is already planned.
Passing through Shelbyville for the day, this was the rare spot still open — and the carne asada with grilled onions, plus a side of frijoles, tasted like a home-cooked meal.
