Me encanta Durango's!!! This is one of the best Mexican restaurants in town. All the staff have deep rooted connections with the customers, which adds to the dining experience. Service is quick and polite (Lalo es increíble!). Food is delicious. The prices are good. Portions are huge! I started eating before I could get a picture of my fajitas, but you can't go wrong with any of their quesadillas, enchiladas, tacos, etc. I'll be back! read more

Durango's Mexican Restaurant - Chicken fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

I chose this place for lunch when we were in Lexington on our cross-country trip. We hadn't had Mexican food for days. I opened with Tortilla Chips and fresh Guac served on a plate, which was smooth and very mild. Red Salsa was also excellent. Then I addressed a Super Pork Burrito with Refried Beans and rice. The burrito was covered in Red Sauce, where Verde Sauce seemed more appropriate. A Beef Taco with lettuce but no tomato was small and crispy. But other portions were big for a reasonable price. Diane's Fried Shrimps were a little overcooked. Our server was friendly, and the restaurant's ambiance evoked authentic Mexico. XXX-1/2 stars overall! read more

A local favorite with wonderful Mexican foods! Easy and plenty parking at the Richmond Road restaurant. Menu items showing photos . Friendly helpful server (Guerrero) on items we were not familiar with. Not at all crowded on or 7pm midweek visit. Current political actions have cautioned some "regular" patrons to avoid this type of restaurant... according to our server. Cold beer! Lots of drink choices. We have visited here before and will again! read more

Great service and the best Mexican food in Lexington! our family has been enjoying going here for 20 years! read more

Ok seems like the correct level. It is just Ok. Holding off writing the review until after a few visits and it is consistently OK. I would skip the queso , guacamole is fine. The carne asada plate, a few of the combo plates were all fine. Nothing particularly yummy, nothing horrible. The service was fine but the older man who handled my table the last two visits was fairly gruff and inattentive. I saw him to order and to pay. There are far superior local Mexican restaurants in Lexington. read more

Maybe the best chicken flautas I've ever had. Their fajitas are also wonderful and great margaritas, friendly staff you can't go wrong going here. read more

Great service! Excellent fresh salsa and guacamole! Everything we ordered was fresh and hot ! 10/10

This is the best a basic hometown Mexican place can be. The food was awesome and the service was spectacular. Loved it a ton

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! read more

We were visiting from out of town and stopped in. I can see why it is a local favorite! The food was fantastic and the place made you feel like a regular and friend! read more

Always a great place to eat with family and the service is amazing the service is always with a smile

My boyfriend and I were excited to try Durango's because we just moved close to this location. The salsa wasn't all that great, so we decided to give the queso a try. It's the worse queso I've ever had. I can make queso better and that's not saying much. It was so runny...the texture was like a thin watery soup. I'm hoping that this was just an off night for them, unfortunately for us, we probably will not be back to see. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Durango's Mexican Restaurant - Chicken, beef, and shrimp fajitas for two! - Mexican Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

This update has been a long time coming. As my son-in-law's favorite restaurant in Lexington, I probably wouldn't have tried it again after my first experience. Luckily, I love my son-in-law, so here we are! It's still a bit outdated, the salsa is hit or miss sometimes, but the steak is ALWAYS on point. I've gotten everything from steak fajitas, to steak chimichangas, and the steak is always tasty and tender. If you get a large margarita, do be prepared to stay awhile... they are HUGE! Probably the largest margaritas in Lexington. Ask for Jose, he is the best waiter there. read more

OMG ITS AWFUL! And I have been going here for years. It's dirty, dated, food is tasteless and service was sloppy. There are many many other places to eat better. read more

I'm so happy to add another Lexington restaurant to my list of regular gotos! After moving from Los Angeles, I've had to work hard at finding my spots. The food, the service, and the folks who make the magic happen are all fantastic. If you haven't eaten here yet, you're missing out. read more

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..... read more

I love this place. I will drive the 30 mins it takes me just to eat here. It is quality, and the people here are so welcoming and truly care about the food they serve you. I always get the guacamole and Pico. It's so fresh, unlike many other places I've gone. I get the chicken fajita with the Mexican sausage, and it's soooo good. I have never had a bad dish here or bad service. I'm so thankful I stumbled upon this gem! Thankful for the amazing food and amazing people. read more

One of my favorite Mexican places in Lexington! Which says something, because there's a lot of good Mexican food here! It's my go-to for standard Mexican fare. read more

A bit disappointing. Service was good at first and then server disappeared. Ended up walking to cashier to pay. Food was ok

One of the best places to eat at! The staff is always so friendly and so helpful. This place is a must have if you visit the area. All of their food is tasty and fresh. I recommend their beef burritos covered in their yummy queso and of course the rice on the side. Their chips and salsa is one of my personal favorites, they are always fresh and tasty! read more

A family I babysit are regulars at Durangos & I took the kiddos here for dinner tonight while the parents are out of town. The chips and salsa were plentiful, the kids loved their quesadillas & fajitas, and my shrimp ceviche had a great lime zing to it (and had lots of fresh avocado- yum). What really made Durangos great was the service we had. While the kids were eating the chips like it was their last meal on earth, our waitress was quick to bring more out as needed and refill our drinks. She came by to make sure our food was okay and to bring out more tortillas and some extra rice for my picky eater- making it easy on the babysitter! I'm not a huge fan of Mexican food so I'm not the best judge of comparing restaurant to restaurant- but we all had a great Friday dinner at Durangos! read more

Durango's is a consistently good Tex-Mex neighbor restaurant. We have been going there for 30 years. It's a family run operation with friendly service and good food. Don't expect anything fancy, but you will feel relaxed and at home. I know other families that have also gone there and new families where the parents started going there as small children, and now take their own small children there! read more

Wonderful food, amazing service, great place to come with family and friends, or just before an appointment for a glass of wine and some great appetizers. Check it out guys. Such a gem of a place! read more

This visit was not an ideal one. We parked outside during COVID carry out and called our order in and just told them we were hanging outside when it was ready. We placed our order from the menu on their Yelp page. The lady said my order back to me and still messed everything up. I ordered a cheese quesadilla and it said it came with rice and beans and nope. When I called she said I needed to ask for it?! When I repeated back "i am supposed to ask for something it says it comes with?" She said Yes. Austin opens his meal which was supposed to be the pregnant burrito and when he opened the burrito to sauce it there was broccoli and cauliflower in it?! Nothing that was supposed to be in a pregnant burrito. read more

Consitently delicious food at Durango's. I usually go there for takeout on my way home and it is always a very quick turnaround from placing my order to receiving my meal. The waiter I usually see there is so nice! Great overall place. read more

I am a born and raised Arizonan and lived in Texas for 7 years. I know my Mexican food. I have struggled to find something I like here in Lexington. So far, Durangos is the best I have found! I had the Chile relleno and they nailed it. Crave worthy! Chips and salsa is also delicious. We also ordered the fajitas. Although delicious, I prefer more of a sliced fajita steak then flat top grilled pieces of beef. But still good! Really looking forward to going back there! read more

First time was a success!! Delicious Chicken Quesadilla with Rice!! Excellent Customer Service and nice location.

Durango's was my go-to spot for Mexican for a while. It's still good, but no longer at the top. The steak tacos are AMAZING- the best I've had in town. However, they've recently changed their chips (and not for the better) and service is usually less than great. Good margarita specials. read more

They will rob you if you don't pay attention. The lady straight lied to my face saying when I asked her why my bill was so high. The prices she gave me would add to $18 and then she said taxes made it $22. Terrible read more

Visited during prime time on a Friday night and they managed the crowd well. Our server, Karen, was the best! I had the pollo bandito so I could compare one of the standard dishes and it was good. This place seems very authentic and I will definitely return. read more

I really don't yelp much but felt I needed to share how much I enjoyed my food here at Durango's. Chips came out warm and fresh, salsa tasted more fresh than some competitors I've tried. Quest dip was above average. I ordered steak and chicken fajitas they came out sizzling on the plate and were just a bit better than the average Mexican restaurant as well. I really enjoyed my meal at Durango's more so than many other Mexican restaurants I've tried. read more

I am so full and I don't feel comfortable, if that gives you any indication of how much food we got. We started with chips and salsa. We also got queso, which is delicious with salsa. The chips never end and the servers are just happy to keep giving out more chips. By the way, frozen margaritas are $3.75, what a bargain. I had a strawberry one and I thought it was delicious. By the time my entree came, chimichanga with chicken, I was already slipping into a food coma. The chimichanga was large. It was covered in queso. Calories don't count. read more

This is one my favorite Mexican restaurants!! If I desire Mexican, 9 times out of ten this is my go too. Employees are friendly and food is consistently good. Space is not large, so not ideal for large parties. I have had a party of 12 and it was cool. My favorite menu items are: Queso Blanco, Pregnant Burrito (with Queso Blanco instead of red sauce), Grilled Chicken and/or Steak Quesadilla. Prices are affordable as well. My only wish is the checkout system needs improvement. The last time we had to go to register to checkout instead of getting our ticket at table first. Nothing major. read more

I had heard it was a good Mexican Restaurants (from non-Hispanics) and I prefer Mexican Food so I went for a late lunch - after 3pm. When I sat down I asked if they had a happy hour - yes Margaritas and a Mexican beer - I got a weak Margarita Happy Hour price ($8.95). The sausa was horrible and the chips were broken up small pieces. I said I didn't want the salsa and was asked if I wanted queso - it was thin with a skin floating in it. (charged $4.95). I ordered a chili relleno, tamale (both cold, soggy - tasted like the frozen ones in grocery stores) and a beef burrito (cold, over cooked hard meat - rolled in a soft taco shell). The menu was a piece of well used and food stained paper (all were on the pile by the counter) and I never got my water. Everything had no taste - they didn't even use cilantro. The bill was $30.59. I paid and tipped - will never return. NEVER read more

Wonderful food and very reasonable prices. Looking forward to returning soon. Highly recommend led.
