This past weekend after watching a long 2 day wrestling tournament at North Davidson High School,…read moremy parents and I decided to go check out this near by taco place that we kept hearing about all weekend long. As soon as we entered the restaurant you felt the good vibes with the Spanish music being played in the background. We were greeted with a smile and taken right to a table. The restaurant had a couple of tables, but it seems like a lot of people do take out as well. As I looked at the menu there were a lot of different options apart from the tacos. There were tortas, chimichangas, etc. When it came time to order the food I decided to go with the tacos. I ordered 1 taco de asada, 1 taco al pastor, and 1 taco de pollo asado. I also got a agua de jamaica (Hibiscus tea) it was also very good and refreshing. While my family and I waited for our food our server brought us chips and salsa which did not disappoint. Once my food came out I was super excited to try it out. The presentation was amazing. The tortillas were homemade, the taco was loaded with onions and cilantro, they give you a good amount of limes, some radishes on the side, and bring out 2 different salsas for you to add to your taco if you would like too. Each taco was delicious and very flavorful. I would say that my favorite one had to be the taco al pastor. The seasoning was just right and it even had pineapple in there. If you are in the area I would definitely give this a try, the food and service are both so amazing. You wont be disappointed!

Tuesday Taco Night Perfection!…read more Tacos and Beer Paola in Lexington is such a gem. This unique spot sits next to its sister location--an older Stop & Go that's packed with Mexican boots, treats, sodas, and food goods--which already sets the vibe before you even walk in. We stopped in for Tuesday taco night and were immediately impressed. Chips and salsa came out with two fantastic salsas, both full of flavor. There's also a Pepsi cooler stocked with Mexican sodas and beers, which was a fun and authentic touch. The staff was beyond friendly--welcoming, patient, and genuinely happy to have us there. Now the tacos... wow. Finger-licking good. I devoured three tacos: brisket, steak, sausage, and cow head--every single one was incredible. The cheese dip was smooth, rich, and absolutely wonderful. My husband loved his chicken and steak tacos as well. If I had to give one tip: do not skip the roasted jalapeños. Trust me. We'll definitely be back soon--and next time, we're bringing the kiddos.

We discovered it several months ago on a whim (just happened to catch our eye on a drive). We've been many times and have tried several different options.

They also have to-go available, which we have done as well. Highly recommend.

I don't know what I expected, but the restaurant looked entirely different than what I imagined. Nothing bad, it just didn't look like what I thought. I was seated and could not find any nachos on the menu. That's really what I wanted and became slightly worried. When the waitress came over, she assured me they do have nachos. My only issue with that is, they don't have ground beef nachos, only shredded beef nachos.... I'm sorry, I don't want that. I ended up getting shredded chicken nachosb with a margarita. They were pretty good, however next time I would order the nachos with the chips on the side, because the chips became SUPER soggy. I also got a side of guac.. all in all, I'm definitely going back to try something different! There were a few people celebrating birthdays and their celebration of the customers was too cute.

When I was younger, so much younger than today, I traveled internationally for a Fortune 500 company for over 12 years. In those travels I spent over a year in Mexico, because it was a problem place, to do business in any way - to protect inventory (we hired armed guards to patrol behind fenced areas, 24/7), to collect accounts receivable, especially from the Federal and State governments, to operate within the guidelines of the SEC! The good part was to sample food I had no idea existed. I had birria for the first time in 1979 in Guadalajara - stew only, no tacos at the time; carbito; and I had Pozole Verde for the first time, with pork, amazing dish! The version of pozole verde served here is very good, but does not have quite the layers of flavor this dish is famous for, like the ones I've sampled at Taqueria Los Juanes, El Camino Real, and Paisano El Tacos - all in Winston. Still it is a dish worth having a go at! I topped the relatively thin stew with cheese, chopped white onion, chicharrones, and avocado. In addition, I squeezed on lime juice and added hot sauce. All of this added additional flavors as well as a variety of textures. I wish there had been cabbage and cilantro to add as well. I tried the Quesabirria tacos and found them to be very nice - well filled and flavorful. I'm glad I tried the food here, and if in the area I'd stop in, but I would not consider this a destination spot.

I ordered a combo which allowed me to try multiple things on the menu. I tried tacos with carne asada and a sope with carne asada. Not only were both items very delicious, but it was served fresh with your usual toppings. I also tried their tasty Jamaica juice, which is hibiscus, and I've heard many good things about their horchata. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, and it makes you feel as if you're eating at an authentic Mexican restaurant. It's a must try for a casual lunch, or dinner with friends.

Their small cheese dip was also great - next time I think I'll try the Spinach Cheese dip but needed a baseline to taste first. I got the chicken and chorizo which was also great, and the chicken fajitas came out sizzling hot! Our server was such a delight, we let her know it was the middle for us to meet and couldn't believe we had both driven 45+ min but was grateful we did and even made recommendations for when we come back.

The peppers and onions seemed like they weren't cooked all the way and we're still kind of hard. The meat was cut in very small pieces and there wasn't a whole lot.
