Simply the best Mexican to be had in Lexington. There are so many choices but this place has stood the test of time. The carne asada is off the chain here. The owner is super nice and there is never a wait. Come get you some Durangos today!

While looking for a new place for Mexican food we decided to give Durango's a shot. I've not been here in probably 15 years but remember them being fine. The biggest standout from our visit was how friendly everyone was. From the person who seated us to the server and the cashier everyone greeted us warmly and smiled. The menu was what you'd expect from a local Mexican place and everything we ordered tasted good. The one downside were the chips. They were pretty much just thick, corn Tostitos. I'd prefer to see something a little closer to homemade. Otherwise it was a good visit.

Chicken, beef, and shrimp fajitas for two!

We each got our own side of rice, beans, and toppings and it was so yummy. It was more than enough for two people. There were only a few people working and they were very nice. It looked like only one woman was serving all the tables and she was doing a great job!

This is their deep fried ice cream!

Ordered 2 deep-fried ice creams. I live right behind the restaurant, and it's 17° outside. I can't even imagine what happened to it in the kitchen except it got dropped and they gave it to us anyway. Shame on you.....

Well I usually think that most Mexican restaurants are the same and the food is always the same but…read morefrom time to time I am surprised by a standout. This is one of those places. I have been to dozens of Mexican restaurants in the Lexington area and there are two that stand out. This one and the me in Midway, KY. This place is like the Cheesecake Factory of Mexican -it's a big menu. If you talk to Latin American people or the employees of the restaurant, they will tell you that this place is exceptional. I had the Camarones A La Diabla and it was spicy!! Great flavor! Most Mexican restaurants don't show any heat or spice in most all of their dishes, but this is fire! Not only do they have a large menu but also have a lot seating. There are so many tables and they open another room on the weekends. They have a great patio when the weather is right and it is covered! We were there on a Tuesday night and the place was packed. They also had margaritas two for one and I don't know when they offer that but they had it when we were there. I look forward to going back and trying more dishes!

This is probably my favorite Mexican restaurant in Lexington because of its authenticity and the…read morefood and service is always amazing. Ordered a lingua and barbacoa taco and the steak tacos with cheese sauce. Plenty of meat on the tacos and the lingua was very tender. The steak tacos are always great mostly because of the cheese sauce and good amount of steak. The chips and salsa always hit the spot also
