    Dancing robot
    Aria H.

    Went in around 9pm on a Friday night and it was PACKED. We were sat within minutes and the server was nice. But overall not impressed. The sound levels are insane for a restaurant but other people seemed to be having a great time--even with the dancing robot that required all the lights be turned out for everyone to see. Felt unnecessary and unsafe given the many children and servers running around. Probably a great space for large groups since tables say 10-12 people, but the food was unremarkable. The menu was HUGE but nothing I ordered was memorable. Probably won't return.

    Queso was really good. Chips were really good but could've used some salt and pepper. Salsa was really good but could have also used some salt and pepper. No Tabasco or salt or pepper was present at the tables. Fun environment with the robot, lights and the murals. Guacamole had feta cheese on top of it, which was delicious. The sour cream was also really good. Steak fajitas were cut perfectly and grilled to perfection. Service was sub par- lacked attentiveness. Robot and lights were fun.

    One of the reasons our food came out after two hours. They are more focused on the shows than on the food.

    Terrible service and poor organization, not recommended for a party, maybe suitable for 2 or 3 people, perhaps they'll treat you well then. We arrived and the food wasn't served until two hours later, and a friend asked for a recommendation and they gave him a dish meant for 3-4 people without telling him how many people it was for, even though he was asking for advice. The food is delicious, but they're more focused on birthdays and dancing than on the food and customer service.

    Hawaiian Fajitas... a mix of shrimp, steak, and chicken covered in cheese

    How was I unaware of this gem of a restaurant?! Apparently, I am just finding out what Lexingtonians have known for some time. This place from the aesthetic to the service to the food was a 5 star experience we will not soon forget. My wife and I started with the fried shrimp and calamari app that came with 3 dipping sauces that all complimented the seafood well. The taste was amazing, the temperature of the food might have been the hottest I've ever received... literally from the fryer to the table. I cannot recommend this app enough. Their salsa was also fantastic, but a bit spicer than most other Mexican restaurants in town. We both ordered fajitas and that was a chore to decide because they have so many options! I should have my prefaced my review with the fact their menu is extensive. Lots of options, but thankfully El Asadero also includes lots of pictures and vivid descriptions. My Hawaiian fajitas were amazing... a mix of steak, shrimp, chicken, ham, peppers and pineapple covered in gooey melty cheese. The leftovers were just as tasty if not better. The drink menu is extensive, so many colorful creations to try of all varieties. They remind me of the Sugar Factory in their creativity. If after all this you have room for dessert, the flan was some of the best my wife and I have ever had. The service was phenomenal, the speed of the operation was unbelievable without feeling rushed, and the decor was fun and tasteful inside and out. This place is definitely in our rotation now and will be for the foreseeable future.

    Tasty margarita, sampler

    Read about this restaurant a few months ago in Lexington and said the next time I was there, I need to stop by. And I'm glad I did. The food was wonderful. The drinks were amazing and it had a really cool Mexican vibe all the way around. Lotta folks were there celebrating birthdays or other events and staff really added to the experience. around 6 and 8 every day they had a cool show with costume performers and great music. Everybody seemed to enjoy it. Lotta folks were there for birthdays, which was amazing by itself. Gotta see it. The drink specials were good. I enjoyed the margarita bar sampler, and some beers. the drinks are a little bit expensive, but they were definitely worth it. Definitely gonna go back next time I'm in Lexington and if you get a chance to stop off Nicholasville Road, give it a try -It was really good. FYI ladies night Thursday w 50% off drinks.

    birria tacos and Baja Tacos

    Both of the tacos we got were good but could've definitely gotten the same for cheaper. Service was friendly and they had a costume show (?) mostly for the kids and a shot flight for the adults. Fun environment but more for special occasions and entertainment than food.

    Top Shelf Margarita! I love the garnish and the gummies on a stick are a nice touch!
    Drew G.

    Very interesting! It's a high budget chain with a hook and I like it. The food was good and the service was unremarkable and the ambiance and atmosphere with the dancing characters was different and fun and slightly annoying at the same time. I will go back sometime but no huge rush. Solid choice for high end/expensive Mexican food with a show. I believe the characters come out at 7 and 9 o'clock.
