The food was 10/10 especially the churros/desert and the waiters were super nice, overall the whole vibe of the restaurant deserves way more hype!

My standard chiles rellenos...  4/5
Valerie W.

Great service, VERY reasonable prices, and a ton of FINE choices!! We had the place to ourselves on a late Sunday afternoon, along with 2x1 margaritas. My two Chiles Rellenos were ok, not the best I've had, but every else's stuff looked great. Hope to make it back here next time I'm in Lexington, try some of their other especialidades de la casa, and maybe even catch the live music they offer on Friday and Saturday nights!! TONS of choices for good Mexican food here in Lex., and this was a great hidden surprise!!

This is good Mexican. The menu is a little different but the food is similar to other Mexican restaurants. It's fresh and fast and tasty. The atmosphere here is nice.

Pick three tacos (left to right): Al pastor, carnitas, chorizo

A lovely Mexican restaurant with great prices, friendly service, and great food (the menu has a wide variety of options!). The food was tasty and we also enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa! I came here for the first time with a friend of mine a few weeks ago and we both are excited to come back throughout the summer (they have a lot of great cocktails on their menu including a fun margaritas bucket set up that looks great to share with friends!). We also tried their churro dessert which was delicious as well! The ambiance was lovely and upbeat, perfect for summer nights!

Covered outdoor bar

Food was great and service was incredible. Covered outdoor bar and patio is also my new favorite spot in Lexington.

Rice and beans
Regan E.

I got my food via door dash, delivery went good nothing was spilled and everything was packaged good. My food was really good I loved the rice and beans. The rice was made perfectly. I got a fajita I wish it was cooked a little more but I personally like my food kind of charred. But it taste amazing and I would highly recommend it

Tacos  de carne asada, the margarita with sangria swirl, chips, salsa, and queso
Allie M.

Restaurant looks cool and chic from outside and inside. Everything was very clean (including bathrooms) and the indoor/outdoor patio situation was giving summer vibes. Staff were attentive, competent, friendly, and we had some great laughs! Food was delicious, margarita selection was top I recommend the margarita with bourbon but we tried them all and loved them all for different reasons. I had the tacos de carne asada and would recommend it to all taco lovers. No weird boingy gristle pieces (y'all know what I mean). Great place to go for a date or with friends and large parties or alone to sit at the bar.

Little disorganized but good food and quick service. I wouldn't recommend doing a carry out order on the phone.

The Obstinate Sons - Cannonballs

The Obstinate Sons

We LOVED our time at The Obstinate Sons! This place is a MUST TRY!…read more We were recently on a little getaway for our Anniversary, looking for a good spot to have a nice dinner. We really struck gold finding this gem of a spot!! The atmosphere is perfect! Soft lighting, not a lot of tables, not at all crowded, beautiful decor, we were very impressed from the moment we stepped in the door! Our waiter stopped by our table pretty quickly and did such a great job for our whole dining experience! He was very helpful when we asked for recommendations, and was perfectly attentive throughout our time! Several super friendly people stopped by our table over the course of our evening, the service was remarkable! Obstinate Sons keeps a small menu - I love this!! Not only does it make it easier to choose what to order, it also typically means a place does the things they offer, VERY well! This idea fit accurately with this restaurant! Every single thing we had was top notch and done so very well! We left so impressed! We started cocktails! The bar tender was excellent and had our drinks out quickly! We both ordered various Old Fashioned's, when in Rome, right?! Since we were in town for some local distillery tours, it only felt right to sample some of the local flavors - and they have a LOT of choices! Extensive bourbon list! Everything we had was superb! Next we went in for an appetizer, the deviled eggs! They rotate how they make them, variating flavors and ingredients! I can't remember exactly what flavors they had the night we were in, but they were delicious! Bacon and horseradish were for sure elements! Loved these!! I am a sucker for a good salad so when I saw that they offered a wedge salad with their "own memorable bleu cheese" I knew I had to try one! It was extremely memorable as I'm still thinking about it weeks later! ;) The roasted heirloom tomatoes were exceptional, tiny little guys packed with SO much flavor! I could have used a few more of those, they complimented the salad so perfectly! The toasted onions were also superior! This was a really great salad!! Next up entrees with beers! :) We tried a couple of beers we had never had before, the Bearded Iris Homestyle and the Country Boy Cougar Bait - both amazing and refreshing!! We ordered the Prime Pork Chop which came with the most delectable risotto, wow! So good! We also ordered the Sole Piccata which was quite possibly the best fish entree I've ever tasted! The sauce was perfection and the fish was perfectly prepared with the best panko parmesan crust, HIGHLY recommend!! We also tried a side of the Smashed Roasted Garlic Herb Red Skins Potatoes, very good! The sides serve 3 so they go a long way! We had too much to finish!! ;) Lest you think I'm finished here, I haven't even gotten to the best part! DESSERT!!! We don't often order dessert out - we don't usually save room and it's just not usually our thing. Because we were celebrating our anniversary, I guess we felt extra on this particular evening because we decided to try some dessert. After some great explanation and recommendations by our server we landed on the bread pudding. This dish also varies regularly with the chef's discretion. They have different flavor profiles that rotate, if I understood correctly. On this particular evening the waiter explained the bread pudding feature: I wish I could remember the way he described it, word for word. I'm struggling to remember the details but I believe it was a chocolate bread pudding with a caramel bourbon sauce. Maybe something to do with Kahlua sauce. You'll have to forgive my memory, I just don't know all that he said - however, what I DO know and am QUITE certain of, this was very literally THE BEST dessert I have EVER tasted in my life! EXTREME delight! I literally told my husband I felt like my life was complete after finishing this dessert, it was THAT incredible! My advice on this restaurant - Do not skip a bourbon based cocktail and DO NOT SKIP DESSERT! ;) The entire meal was an honest absolute pleasure, but those two things stand out for me about our meal! If there were a yelp rating higher than 5 stars, The Obstinate Sons would deserve it - EXCEPTIONAL PLACE!!! Make this your next choice!

Cute place, but doesn't take reservations. Our first attempt at this, there were six of us and we…read morewere going on Saturday evening - don't even try it. For two people, ok.. for 4 it's a toss up... anymore than 4 there is no way. The second attempt was a weekday and my husband and I decided to try again and we got right in. Pros: - Good service - Good bar (which included port wine on the dessert menu) - Good food - we had the bread pudding for dessert and it was great! It is good food, I got the shells and it was good, but nothing I would go out of my way to have again. Cons: - Somewhat of a small menu (both food and cocktail); I think (for me) expanding the cocktail menu would be a very feasible upgrade for this place. - It's toss up on prime time weekends how long you'll have to wait for a table since its a pretty small place
