Pozole Verde
Andrea C.

Mazunte was a lovely addition to the distillery district area. I really enjoyed coming in and enjoying a green chicken pozole especially with the colder weather amongst us. The service is always quick, which makes it a great spot to get lunch. They have a very aesthetic venue, curated with a small and bigger parties.

Quesa Birria. -awesome!!
Drew G.

We came here before a concert next door. We sat at the bar and the atmosphere and food were great! I love the Birria Tacos!

Mezcal
Michael F.

First time dining at the Bodega. Excellent food. Black beans were outstanding. Mezcal cocktail was wonderful. Tinga chicken tacos had plentiful seasoned pollo, onions, and cilantro. Our waitress was attentive and welcoming. Restaurant is comfortable and inviting. Nice dining experience.

Veggie torta
Diala A.

I came here the other day with my lab group for an end of school year lunch - it was all of our first time! We came at a good time since it wasn't busy at all and so service was pretty standard and friendly. The ambiance is more of a modern vibe with nice wooden and plant touches all around. We all enjoyed our meals and drinks, the portion sizes for the main entrees were huge! The tacos were served on corn tortillas which was nice, but I wish the tortillas were less chewy and warmer when served. The fillings were fabulous though! I had an ague de jamaica and my advisor had the horchata - we both enjoyed our drinks and since they were served in bottles I took some back home with me. Overall, a fun spot!

Taco trio, chicken , carnitas & the veggie!  Yummy  !

After discovering the location in Cincinnati I had to try the new place in Lexington! Although the margarita didn't come out of a bucket in a plastic cup like I had hoped it was satisfactory .. but the taco trio I had was fantastic ! I arrived after the lunch crowd and the place was pretty empty.. sometimes the staff mentally clocks out after the lunch rush :-/ which was the case here. But I'm old school and I've had to accept that finding good help isn't easy .. I'm just grateful that I found it and the food was great!

Pork, Grilled Fish & Shrimp
Lori R.

These might be the best tacos we've ever had. Husband said it was definitely the best Carne Asada he's ever had. Love love love that you can get a variety. ! We both got shrimp and grilled fish ones, while his third was beef and mine was pork. All were drip down your arm good! We also shared the "Salsa Bar". I think the name is confusing as it sounds like you would pay to go up to like a salad bar kinda thing for salsa, but it's not. It's four salsas that are brought to you with giant tostadas that you break up and dip. All four were so very fresh and so full of flavor. Yum! We sat at the bar for full service, but otherwise order at the counter. We had a terrific lunch here and came back later for just drinks, which was a less expensive option than the Manchester Hotel bar next door.

Al Pastor Tacos
Mallory R.

Mazunte was my favorite spot in Cincinnati so I am so excited they opened a location in Lexington. We tried the Al pastor tacos and quesa birria tacos. Both were superb and had a nice amount of heat while still being flavorful. For both entrees and two beers our bill was under $40 which I don't think is too bad. The space itself has plenty of seating. It looked like they have a garage door type of window that would open up to outside bar access from the front side walk. The only reason for the 4 and not 5 star review is the service. We walked in and weren't sure what to do, no one was there to greet us, no sign saying to seat yourself or wait to be seated. There's a counter with a grab and go type of set up and a cash register so we walked up there and grabbed two menus. Eventually someone walked up to the register and we asked if we seat ourselves or order at the counter and they told us to seat ourselves but didn't bother to look at us or say hello. The server offered good and quick service so no complaints there.

Recent went to try Mazunte and was disappointed with the experience; we went in during an unbusy time (8pm on a Friday night) and asked if we could sit outside. The bartender told us to have a seat outside, which we did. We waited 15 minutes and no one came to take out our order. We then moved to the bar inside where we were given water but then not waited on again. We ended up leaving. There was a carry out counter and the restaurant was very clean, so we may try again the next time we're in the area. We understand businesses having an off night and while it didn't look busy, maybe there were shorthanded.

Mixed Tacos
Jon H.

I went Sunday for brunch with some friends. I didn't take many photos partly because I try to stay off my phone with friends but also when the food arrived it was so good I didn't think twice about snapping anymore photos. The place has a good vibe to it and the very few staff there were super friendly. I ordered the mixed tacos and picked the Al pastor, fish, carne asada and breakfast taco. All of they were great. The chips and queso are excellent and my entire group were very satisfied with their choices. There wasn't a single complaint about the food BUT the service was subpar. While they were super friendly, it was slow. With that said, I'd take slow service over poor service and poor food any day so I'm not going to deduct anything for being on the slow side. This is a must try place if you like tacos and I'll be returning!

Kelly A.

Super cute and tasty spot! I went on a weekday during lunchtime so, the crowd was very chill. Our server was super friendly and helped us to understand a couple of menu items. I opted for the "pick 3" tacos, and they did not disappoint! I got carne asada, camarones, and Al pastor. All three were seasoned well and loaded with protein, pickled veggies, and sauce, but the Al pastor was the winner...it was super flavorful yet not too sweet. My only little gripe is that the restaurant does not carry flour tortillas. It's just preference, but to me, toasty flour tortillas wouldve taken these tacos to the next level. But, they're going for authenticy lol, I get it. I'd drfirnili return!

If you're in Lexington and you don't stop here, you're doing Kentucky wrong. I walked in expecting…read morea solid pour, but I walked out feeling like I'd just left a family reunion--the kind where everyone actually likes each other. The selection is top-tier (easily one of the best I've seen in the Bluegrass State), but the hospitality is what sets this place apart. We ended up chatting with the owner, and he treated us like old friends who had been coming there for twenty years. It's rare to find a spot that has both a world-class whiskey list and zero pretension. It's the perfect atmosphere--historic building, great energy, and people who truly know their bourbon. Pro Tip: Pull up a stool, ask for a recommendation, and be prepared to stay a while. You're among friends here.

I recently went to Bourbon on Rye while visiting Lexington and I was amazed. I got the bourbon…read morebarbecue Gouda chicken sliders and the barbecue sauce was amazing. The chicken was fresh and the fries were really good as well. They also have a really nice cocktail list and they make all of their syrups and shrubs in house which I think is awesome. It sets them apart from other bars in the area. I got the union cocktail and it was the perfect mix of bitter and sweet. My friend had the bourbon sour and it was really good as well. Will definitely be back here next time I'm in Lex.
