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!

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!

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.

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.....

I've always skipped this spot when at the mall and I'm not sure why... I finally got convinced to…read morego out for girls night with the promise of soft served margaritas. The place is beautiful from the outside and the inside. It is a very modern establishment however, they have some unique qualities I hadn't seen in Lexington. For starters, they sat us right away even though it was busy. Next, we ordered a guacamole appetizer and someone came with a cart and made it fresh in front of us! I thought that was super cool since you also get to pick your toppings. The margaritas tasted amazing... it was truly a good ice cream base; I've had nothing like it. Their food is good, they have so many options and the portions are good but it is pricey. The vibe is super fun, it's like a genuine party. Definitely recommend to anyone who hasn't been. 10/10

Rating: (3.7/5) We…read moreabsolutely love El Asadero and have been here hundreds of times, which is why this review is tough to write. This is only my second post, and unfortunately this visit was disappointing compared to our usual experiences. Our server was very friendly and attentive, which we appreciated. However, the beer came out warm, which was a rough start. We ordered the lettuce tacos and a cheesesteak quesadilla. It seemed like the food sat in the service window a bit too long -- the lettuce wasn't crispy and we had to ask for new lettuce for the tacos. The quesadilla itself was good, but it could've used some extra flavor. We also ordered hot sauce, but it wasn't spicy at all, which was a letdown. That said, we know what this place is capable of and this visit felt more like an off night than the norm. We'll definitely be back to give it another shot, because El Asadero is usually one of our go-to spots.
