Nachos Taquiza (GF)
Drew G.

This is my new favorite Mexican place. They really stand out from the competition. My first visit I got the Nachos Taquiza with chorizo and it was enormous! All of the ingredients were just on a higher level than other places. From the pickled onions to the guacamole, they are different and better and everything is very fresh! The true highlight of the visit was their salsa bar. I couldn't decide which of their salsas was my favorite because they were all so good. I look forward to trying more of their menu.

Let's just start with the fact that this place is amazing in general. Nobody is perfect. I am a huge fan of offal cuts, and they have them. They ( usually ) do them right. I've only been let down a couple of times out of the 10-ish times I've been. Sometimes the Tripas are not perfect, but that goes for other places too. Still good though. There's all sorts of crazy good things coming out of this TINY place. The staff is definitely overwhelmed at times. I get it. It's busy for a reason and there's not much room to fill the online orders on top of the small line to get in. Basically everything is solid. The salsa ( self serve ) is LEGIT. Bright colors and balanced flavors. Expect to pay up for things you'd normally get for free like chips and salsa. That's ok. It's all really good and I'd rather pay a few bucks to have something that's tastier than your regular, huge sit down joint. If you're not a super demanding person and don't mind getting up and grabbing your own salsa etc, definitely come here. Not the place to be lazy. Just go up and ask for things. No problem. Great location! Could not be more perfect .

Wow! This place is amazing and such a hidden gem in Lexington. The food, service, and value was phenomenal, which is hard to find the trifecta these days. I was immediately greeted when I walked in and helped to a menu and recommendations. Ooh and the smells made me drool! The menu is extensive which is perfect for finding something for everyone. The food was / is probably the top 2 Mexican places I've been to in Lexington, maybe top but I'll have to go visit Ramirez to be able to really confirm it's been a while. The guacamole was large and full of flavor and I loved the chicharron that came with to dip in as well as a different take on chips. The cheese dip was the perfect consistency not too runny and not too thick, the three little bears would have loved it. I got the chilakiles and it was to die for, perfectly runny eggs, crunchy and soggy chips, with very flavorful carnitas. I ate the whole thing and then too the bread to dip up all the extra sauce! I'll be back for sure, so many other amazing things to try.

The local Mexican joint inhabits an unexciting strip mall, but has a nice clean atmosphere inside and some picnic tables set up outside as well. A robust salsa bar is prominently displayed, and I wondered if getting takeout meant I was missing out, but all five salsas were ultimately included in my neatly packed bag (and they were excellent). In addition to the garden variety veggie option, they had huitlacoche available for some of their items. For the uninitiated, it is a fungus that grows on corn and has a mild mushroom flavor (and is better nutritionally than the corn was). My taco arrived with grilled cactus as well, and flavors abounded. I could have been fine without the salsa. The churros I added were of course unnecessary, but really marvelously coated in cinnamon and with a mild sweet cream to dip them in. As with a lot of Mexican, the vegetarian options were pretty good but heavy on dairy. Overall, it's probably about as good as you could hope to find in Lexington.

Good first: Service excellent family owned and operated with their recipes. The street corn and queso was awesome. Our tacos were great (the woman didn't like the tortilla shells but she's like white white and they're corn and not flour - which I what I prefer but I grew up around Mexicans). Only thing that threw me off about the Taco De Pescado was the fact the menu said shrimp but I got fish? Which wasn't an option but still super good. The reason why this isn't 5 stars is because the sides kinda sucked. Fries were too hard and the rice was super mushy. Both seemed to be premade and not fresh. Also there wasn't a lot of seating. It's a really small joint but that's the only complaints I have.

Al pastor & Carnitas taco

I'm from Cali and these tacos tasted just like home: authentic and so delicious! I got the Al pastor taco which had small chunks of pineapple and the carnitas taco (just wish it was more crispy but it was extremely juicy and yummy) .Both were so flavorful. I also enjoyed the salsa bar. It complimented the tacos greatly. Will be returning to try the other items.

I've always skipped this spot when at the mall and I'm not sure why... I finally got convinced to…read morego out for girls night with the promise of soft served margaritas. The place is beautiful from the outside and the inside. It is a very modern establishment however, they have some unique qualities I hadn't seen in Lexington. For starters, they sat us right away even though it was busy. Next, we ordered a guacamole appetizer and someone came with a cart and made it fresh in front of us! I thought that was super cool since you also get to pick your toppings. The margaritas tasted amazing... it was truly a good ice cream base; I've had nothing like it. Their food is good, they have so many options and the portions are good but it is pricey. The vibe is super fun, it's like a genuine party. Definitely recommend to anyone who hasn't been. 10/10

Rating: (3.7/5) We…read moreabsolutely love El Asadero and have been here hundreds of times, which is why this review is tough to write. This is only my second post, and unfortunately this visit was disappointing compared to our usual experiences. Our server was very friendly and attentive, which we appreciated. However, the beer came out warm, which was a rough start. We ordered the lettuce tacos and a cheesesteak quesadilla. It seemed like the food sat in the service window a bit too long -- the lettuce wasn't crispy and we had to ask for new lettuce for the tacos. The quesadilla itself was good, but it could've used some extra flavor. We also ordered hot sauce, but it wasn't spicy at all, which was a letdown. That said, we know what this place is capable of and this visit felt more like an off night than the norm. We'll definitely be back to give it another shot, because El Asadero is usually one of our go-to spots.
