Everything was incredible and the service was even better. The place isn't fancy, but it doesn't have to be, it looks like it literally hasn't changed since the mid 90s and usually that is the sign of a great place to eat when it comes to authentic taquerias. Next time we are in Lexington this is where we'll eat, again. PS there are wicked good homemade refrigerated table hot sauces. The Habanero is straight fire.

I'd say barbacoa and lingua were my top 2 because of the immense flavor. I will warn you that after eating this food be prepared to feel a bit sluggish. Got a small cabeza burrito also and was good but would recommend using a different meat than what I chose because it gets lost in the fixings. Also, the tacos had too much cilantro but I just took what I wanted off. This spot reminds me of the taco stands on side of the road in California. I wish they had a few more sauces to choose from

I will warn you that the dining area is quite small, so if you plan on going during a typically busy time, you may want to join the waitlist.

We had to park about a block away on the side of the street and walk to the truck. They had a few tables for sitting, and a couple of ladies that were providing full service. We ordered our tacos (carne asada and birria) and was told it would be about 15 minutes. It was more like 25 but with the amount of people there, I wasn't surprised. When we got home and dug in I swear I went to heaven! This was the best birria I've ever had! The tacos were huge! Loaded with beef! The broth was so robust and hot. I'm getting hungry thinking about it now. It was truly delicious

You don't have to be over the top but you should at least be polite. The quality and presentation of the food seems to vary from visit to visit so unsure if that is the product of different cooks but for the price and given how long they have been in business it should be far more consistent. Hearing these same complaints from a number of neighbors; such a shame since we live in walking distance and would love to have continued this as a regular spot.

The guacamole was also top notch; fresh, creamy, and full of flavor. The coconut margarita was absolutely fire with such a unique and refreshing flavor that the whole table loved. For my entrée, I tried the house specialty blue corn quesadilla and it was beyond amazing. It comes with two large quesadillas, and I chose to do one with chicken and the other with mushrooms and zucchini. Everything about it was fresh and flavorful, from the perfectly seasoned fillings to the blue corn tortilla , iit truly made for an authentic and satisfying Mexican meal.

After receiving it and taking two bites, I decided to open it up and view the contents -please see photo. I found out there were more fries than steak, barely any guacamole, and Pico de gallo. It was dry and cold, but life is full of disappointments, and I've just added another. Several folks in my party ordered the Combinatiion platters for $12.50, which appeared to be more plentiful and satisfying than my $17.50 burrito and you'd think that my burrito would be more generous with ingredients. Service was good and friendly, and the restrooms were clean, so that's worth two stars. On a final note, I usually pay $9.25 for a Burrito Carne Asada at Supermarket Aguascalientes' little restaurant, so i was expecting more here for the price difference.

We sat down and were brought chips and salsa; then we ordered two tortas and our drinks.

We really enjoyed the food we had and how quickly everything was done since we were on a time crunch. The price was very reasonable for the food we had; we spent less than $25 after tip for 2 entrees and 2 drinks and even took a bit home for our pet. The portions are also reasonable. Their parking was good. Their restaurant was clean and I was happy with the music choice. Overall, 10/10! We will definitely be back
