    Very runny queso if that's your jam.
    Ross R.

    The food here is always good. However, for some reason every time we order queso and chips it's super runny and watered down. The service has gotten a little slower as well. The food on the other hand is always really good outside of the runny queso. It's got a nice atmosphere with plenty of TVs to watch a ball game. If you're in there during game time check it out.

    Pork carnitas, guacamole, rice and beans, mole chicken enchiladas.

    What a fun location and close to a VRBO we were staying at. Loved the food and servers were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Server suggested Carnitas which I never would have ordered and it was delicious. Horchata was great too. Great play area outside with bags.

    Chips and salsa

    With a wonderful patio, vibrant interior, and welcoming and capable staff, Papi's in Palomar was an enjoyable lunch stop. I ordered cheese enchiladas with rice and beans and my husband got asada and chorizo street tacos with the bean soup. The provided salsa was a non-spicy, but good salsa, and the chips were a thickness that could have stood up to a hearty pico de gallo, but not overly think. A great chip. The tacos were good, my husband said the chorizo wasn't very spicy. He enjoyed the corn tortillas as they had good flavor and didn't fall apart. He scraped the bowl on his bean soup. The rice and beans were middle of the road. Okay, not bad. The enchilada was filled with colby jack cheese, I believe. I am not a fan of that type of cheese in my enchiladas, but it was a tasty dish. Our total, including one soda and a water, was $38.94 before tip. All in all, we will recommend Papi's as an easy meal out in a convenient location. Plenty of choices on the menu. We would go back again.

    My favorite Mexican restaurant in Lexington! Ask for Salima!! She's my favorite server. She's extremely attentive and gets every detail right every time! The food is always delicious and the margaritas are fabulous (the don't skimp on the tequila). There is great outdoor seating with cornhole for the kids on nice days too. This restaurant is in constant rotation for me!!!

    pick 4 tacos, veggie enchiladas made vegan

    My husband and I went to check out Papi's in Palomar on a Saturday this summer after hearing great things about their new location and patio. We waited about 20 minutes for a table outside which wasn't terrible considering how busy it was. Once we were seated our waiter brought us waters, chips, and salsa and took our drink order. My husband got a margarita on the rocks which he reported to be good! For my entree I ordered the veggie fajitas which were delicious and was a generous serving. They came out sizzling hot as you'd expect! The only reason for the 3 star rating was that both of our stomachs hurt the next day...We have eaten at the Papi's in Chevy Chase and the Papi's Rapido and have never had this issue. Because of this, I would be willing to go back to Papi's in Palomar to give it another chance!

    Pollo en Mole
    Brittany W.

    My husband and I decided to give this place a try because we were on this side of town. It was so busy we sat at the bar but the service was amazing and we even had the owner taking our order. It's a little loud in here but I gave 5 stars on the mole all on its own. My husband had the beef chimichanga but no picture happened since all thoughts left my brain after trying that mole. The owner said his mother makes it for him and it's the best I've ever had. It was the perfect balance of sweet and savory with a hint of spice. I also happily downed my surprisingly strong margarita!

    We visited here for the first time..we all agreed that the food was fairly mediocre, service was really slow and it was probably a one and done visit.

    Great local Mexican place to take the family for dinner or a night out with friends. Food is fresh, service is great and they have a full bar with tasty margaritas. They often have live music in the evenings and outdoor patio seating for the Warner months!

    My family and I recently decided to try La Taquiza and we placed a carry out order on our way home…read morefrom an event. I struggled to find a rating for this restaurant and am settling on a three mainly because we had a few issues with our order and it was pretty pricey for a Mexican dinner. For our very hungry family of four, we ordered empanadas, flautas, the dip Trio, a cheese quesadilla, and two chimichangas. The dip trio was great - the guacamole was incredible! The empanadas were delicious, but had to wrong fillings. The flautas were rolled with very little filling and were mostly fried tortilla - but the middle bites with the toppings were quite tasty. The cheese quesadilla came with chicken, so my picky child wouldn't eat it - and after tasting it, I found the chicken to have a burnt smoky taste that almost tasted like cigarette smoke (we don't smoke so it wasn't from our car ride or our home). Both the chimichangas were made with the wrong fillings, and one had the same chicken taste as the quesadilla. The other was ok, but we don't particularly love pork. Had it been beef, it would have been incredible because the sauce and red onions were fabulous toppings. We may try again, but our neighborhood spot is about half the price and always correct. The staff at pickup was very friendly and all smiles, qualities I really appreciate!

    Incredibly delicious food, and the freshest, most authentic Mexican you will find in Lexington.
