We sat at the bar and were greeted by the bartender. All of the staff we came in contact with were very friendly. Service was fast, beer was cold and the food was delicious. My wife and I ordered a Chamoy Shrimp Taco, Pork Belly Taco and Ahogado Drunken Taco along with an order of Chips and Queso. It was plenty of food for the two of us. We were in the right side building which has a full bar, plenty of seating and a salsa bar.

If you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine in a casual walk-up, order-and-sit-down setting,…read morethis is a great choice. The food is flavorful, and the extensive selection of salsas and sauces for your nacho chips is a standout feature. Prices are a little on the higher side, but the attentive, friendly staff help make the experience worthwhile. One recommendation: review the menu online before arriving, as ordering at the front can feel a bit rushed or awkward if you are unfamiliar with the options. The venue includes the main restaurant plus an adjoining indoor/outdoor bar with patio seating, located in Lexington, Kentucky's new Distillery District. It's a lively spot for a relaxed meal, drinks, or an evening out with friends.

I came with friends for my birthday dinner and had a great time! We started with the salsa bar,…read morewhich was a fantastic way for our group to split and sample all the fun salsa flavors on the menu, a great touch for a table looking to try a little bit of everything. 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. Overall, the food was outstanding and the service matched it every step of the way. Such a great Mexican restaurant, I highly recommend!

I always tell my wife that most Mexican restaurants taste the same to me. This place is different!…read moreI have been wanting to try this for a while because more than one person has told me that it is the best Mexican around. We were not disappointed!! I had the Midway Burrito and it was delicious. The first thing that you notice is the bacon. I don't think that I have ever had bacon in a Mexican restaurant. The second thing that impressed me was grilled chicken that they put in there. Wow, it is good! Adding the chorizo is just another bonus! The creamy Serrano sauce over the top is perfect! It's spicy but not overpowering or too hot, just hot enough to make your mouth tingle and know that there is a nice kick. We look forward to going back and trying the Fundito next time. On the downside, our server wasn't very attentive and she wasn't busy at all.

6 of us went there last night around 6pm for dinner. As we walked in we noticed a couple open…read moretables outside, and once inside several tables they could accommodate our group open as well. We were told there was a 30-60 minute wait, so we went to the bar for drinks. After 30 minutes we went to check in to see how much longer and were then directed to one of the outdoor tables that had been open the prior 30 minutes when we first got there. After placing our order, two other tables on each side of us with equal numbers were seated. They were served their food in about 20-25 minutes. We asked for the manager and then after another 15-20 minutes it slowly began coming out. The manager said he was going to "make it right," and when the check came only took off 25%. Poor customer service, wait time unnecessary are resolution didn't add up to the inconvenience.

Staff and service is good every time, I get my food pretty quickly. My only complaint is the price which could be a bit better compared to other places that have just as good/better food. Overall I do recommend this restaurant.

First of all, I don't remember their salsa being so amazing! The salsa recipe is the best I have had in a long time. In general I order typical American Mexican dishes and all the Mexican restaurants are pretty similar in my opinion. I typically don't think that there is one that is remarkably different than the others. This one is a solid choice.

I ordered the potatoes with chorizo and egg and the servings were huge. There were a lot of people in there in the AM, I can definitely see why. My husband's order was also huge. We had a lot of leftovers. The food was fresh, the employees were very nice and friendly, the music was not loud so we had good conversations. Their parking can be a little tense but, if you're willing to walk, there's plenty. They really have a good menu for any time of day, and they're VERY affordable... we will certainly be coming back more often.

The only frustration I have is when I place a mobile order for pickup. I write very clear and detailed instructions on the note section and this is the second time in a row the instructions were not read or understood. We spend a lot of money every time we order. Now we live too far to drive back. I trusted to not have to double check my order before leaving, that was my fault.

I also highly recommend the grilled steak burrito it's big enough to make 2 meals out of and has all the good stuff inside. The service is always great when we go and the food arrives fast.
