The place had all the markets for a great Mexican place. The decor is awesome! The bar is separate from the dining tables. There is an outside eating area.

Wow that was some delicious food! I was so worried when we first sat down because the chips and salsa were not the best. The chips were hard and over cooked. It was all uphill from there though. We ordered a bowl of cheese dip and they brought us out some fresh chips with it. It was amazing! Probably the most flavorful cheese dip I have had in town. We all ordered the fajitas, and they too were amazing. This place knows how to season their food. With the exception of the salsa and our initial order of chips everything was perfect. I would highly recommend trying this place out.

We got the enchilada with shrimp and crab meat and the fajita. Unfortunately the fajita vegetables were burnt black and smelled of smoke. However, the waiter kindly gave us a refund on the dish. (We tried to ask for a half refund on the dish, but there was a misunderstanding and we ended up with a full refund on the dish.) Unfortunately, we cannot recommend the food, but the waiter was attentive and sincere, and there is nothing that can be criticized about the service.

The food was good. I had the stuffed poblano peppers. Was hoping it would be a little spicier but that’s just me; otherwise very good! Great service, and the food came out quickly. The bathrooms were nice and clean too.

We came with my daughter’s Kindergarten class for a field trip. We unleashed 50 kindergartners plus chaperones on them, and they handled it with efficiency and a great attitude. All the food came out as ordered, and we got it really quickly.

One of the best, if not the best, Mexican restaurants I’ve ever been to. Everything I ate was delicious. Hands down the best guacamole I’ve ever had. Great staff and reasonable prices. Wish I could give it 6 stars!

Most likely the best texmex in Lexington. You simply will not find a restaurant, That will seat you, provide your drinks and appetizers, take your order, and then deliver your food as fast as Jalepenos can do it.
