My family and I were welcomed by Ms. Margarita and she made our whole experience. She was thoughtful and kind with us every step of the way- she made us feel so comfortable! Our food was delicious and she went out of her way to make me feel special for graduating college! It’s a great place for family and friends- its my new favorite spot.

I came here Sunday night for dinner and drinks with my friend, and we thoroughly enjoyed our food and margaritas! The service was fast, and there was plenty of seating when we were there that night. I ordered the burrito bowl and a giant frozen margarita. Their burrito bowl was super good! Highly recommend this spot to whoever is visiting Lexington and wants Mexican food.

Fun atmosphere, great margaritas and super friendly service. The outdoor seating and upstairs deck are great. So much potential for a fun outdoor experience!!!

Booked an igloo here because of the experience and great reviews. Very disappointed! Our table in the igloo was wobbly, but other than that issue, it was fun to be in it. Not worth $20 extra for it though, as we didn’t even get immediately seated even though we had a reservation. You have to wait in line for a table and order right then, so we had to wait behind everyone else, which didn’t leave us much time to eat. The food took a long time to arrive, and when it did it not only didn’t taste good but wasn’t even warm. I got the steak burrito bowl, and the quality of the steak was not very good. The guac and chips arrived after dinner because I had to remind them I’d ordered it. The guac was nearly ice cold and watery. We couldn’t even eat it.

Friday was my 1st time eating there. I had the nachos with a top shelf margarita (which was well worth the money). Everything was so good, fresh and hot food!

Where to begin? Wait staff never brought us a highchair for our 16 month old, my wife had to go get one. Took an exorbitant amount of time to place our drink order and longer for the food order. The Margaritas had zero tequila and was nothing but sweet and sour. I was also not charged correctly for the drinks. The receipt in the picture I had to request AFTER paying because the waitress couldn’t figure out the technology and she was in her 20s. The other picture was the bottom of the Quesa-Pizza. Be aware with this item because it nothing but grease and will become soggy after about 15-20 minutes of being at the table. This place has potential, but failed miserably with my experience with family and friends. I won’t be returning. Once and done. Nothing special to return for.
