Mex Coke...the best option
Kent M.

Really good again. Mex Coke here which is usually good indicator of good Mex foods. Chili Releno and Taco Salad. All real good. And quick to our table.

Wow. Seriously WOW. Probably the best Mexican food that I have had in 15 years. Completely authentic in every sense. I had the enchilada, rellano, beans & rice combo. Cleaned my plate which rarely happens. Do not miss this spot!!

Good quick Mexican food, as one local put it. Best place in town for a fast bite to eat without hitting a fast food joint. He was on par. I love Mexican food and this place didn't disappoint especially for such a small town. So many options off of the menu. Food portions weren't oversized, but then again I ordered from the lunch menu. My one beef with the menu is that a lot of the dishes are rice OR beans. Honestly I want both! That's ok though. They allowed me to sub beef for beans in my taco when I got a combo plate. The cheese is a little heavy though. But still good. Chips and salsa are standard. Salsa isn't amazing, but still hits the spot. I did appreciate we got a small 1/4 litter size vase full of Salas and our own individual salsa dish. I can finally double dip without having to worry about everyone else. Service was fine. Apparently they are super fast when it's busy. So don't be shy on a busy day. Parking is ample with street parking outside the restaurant. Bathroom is small, but it's clean. I couldn't partake in the margaritas, but they seem to have a fine selection of drinks. Check out the menu picture I posted. If I'm in Minden, I will go again.

Burgos Queen mexican food - Steak Wet Burrito

Burgos Queen mexican food

(11 reviews)

Driving cross country recently, I was made to pitstop in Kearney due to a snowstorm & interstate…read moreclosures. It was already after 9 pm and few food options were available. Searching the web via smartphone, Burgos Queen popped up as an option open late. I'm thankful that this suggestion was recommended over fast food. Driving the roadways, fast food is the most convenient and available option. However, not as tummy friendly as most other foods. Kearney has many options in the FF category and many were still open despite the weather conditions. (By the following morning and with snow, many of the same locations did not open for the day.) While viewing food photos of Burgos on the web, I made a gut choice to try them out based on one specific photo. Their preparation of al pastor (pork) is what caught my eyes. Traditional Mexican street food style on the "trompo." For Americans, this means that the pork is piled onto a "spit" grill. Marinated with a heavy hand and a rind of pineapple sits atop. The sweetness of the fruit blends into the marinade and when meat is sliced, so with it are bits of fruit. Unfortunately due to Covid however, many taquerias (taco joints) have opted to removing the spit/grill and frying the mixture on the grill top. When doing this they often remove the pineapple too. (bah!) Another surprising discovery was their offering of birria! Attention locals.. you are lucky to have a taco joint in town that offers birria. Birria is commonly made from lamb or goat but in the US it is often made with beef, because, Americans..smh. Locals, get you some! Foodies that know about birria are reluctant to find it between our coasts. It was first offered in Chicago but didn't grow in popularity till it hit the food trucks of LA and then NYC. Queen doesn't do the all out preparation/presentation including fried tortillas with cheese, but their consomme that's placed into the taco has an enticing smell followed by flavorful explosion in mouth. It was near closing and I placed a phone order for two birria and two al pastor tacos. Had hoped to try their lengua or shrimp too but they were out or unavailable. For four tacos and a mandarin Jarritos soda, I think I paid about $11 dollars and change before tip. Food was plated onto a styrofoam, rectangular plate and covered with aluminum foil. Once back at the hotel I placed the plate down on the table and got to my wind down routine. Before I could sit down to enjoy my eats, my family had ripped into the carryout. One birria and al pastor was already devoured and red salsa nearly gone! Our room filled with pleasant smells and everyone was asking what, where, why didn't I bring more. I scratched my head about it also.. I cannot believe I found such a tasty taqueria in the middle of Nebraska.. Seriously, stop going to fast food joints and get some tasty tacos! By the next morning we were ready to leave but still wanting a repeat of the tacos so I placed a call to see what time they would open. Unfortunately due to the weather Burgos Queen was closed. However, the nice lady from the night before was there. I complimented them on the delicious food we enjoyed and shared my disappointment not being able to order food for the day. She went on to say, had she more time to prepare, she may have created a carryout for us. If they are still around the next time I'm in these parts, I'm definitely grabbing a bag of tacos! *Details. Despite not having pineapple in the al pastor, the flavors were present and tacos tasty. Many taquerias are careless to overcook pork which in my opinion kills the meat. People are still fearful of undercooking pork. I think they could prepare it low and slow and still turn out a tasty product. If you enjoy beef, the birria is a must. Trying this version first and then having the real deal elsewhere will only expand your enjoyment.

There are several places to fulfill your Mexican food cravings in Lexington, NE. Most are very…read moreaccessible and easy to get to, right on the main drag into and out of town. I have been to them all, several times in fact and I am here to tell you that none of them compare to Lo Mejor De Michoacan. None of them come close in fact. Do not let the outside fool you, do not let the tiny awkward parking lot fool you. It is what's inside that sets this small "Mom & Pop shop" apart. The first thing that I notice each time is how good it smells as soon as the door opens. It smells good, it smells like pork, and steak and fresh tortillas too. It is also very clean. It seems to me that this is a small family ran business, the same people greet me each time and are always super warm and welcoming. It is obvious they care and want to give you good service along with delicious food. I have taken my food to go and I have also sat down and I will say that there isn't any difference in the portion or the quality of the food. I have a hard time getting past the Carnitas each time I have been. The pork is tender and it tastes delicious consistently. The beans aren't from a can, I am willing to bet that the food here is all homemade. It tastes far too good to be from a can or a package. The tortillas are not warm, they are HOT when they get to your table, they taste so good. In my opinion they are the very best in town. The service is great too, the folks here keep the food coming and the drinks are always full, they are very polite and make your you want to come back again. If you are on the interstate looking for a place to eat, do yourself a favor, cruise into town go past the fast food and the other restaurants. It will be worth it. I can not wait to eat here again.
