    I've been dreaming of the food here every day since I ate here. I never thought I'd find some of the best Mexican food I've ever had...in Paris, Kentucky. Let's get to it. Tacos al carbon - some of the best tacos ever. Charred steak with a queso sauce, wrapped up tightly in a tortilla. The flavor is bonkers. The queso dip is amazing - I got it as a starter too. Chip after chip was dipped. The salsa is fresh and delicious. They have a spicy green sauce that's really good with chips as well. And they have another green sauce that they use as a salad dressing that's amazing on everything. Margaritas are huge. And delicious. Nice selection of craft beers as well.

    Chicken burrito $7!!!

    We ordered to go. First two of our four entrees were wrong and my husband was missing his salad. My husband took the food in to be replaced/ fixed. When we got home those two entrees were half the amount of food they should have been. I called and no one there cares.

    Outstanding locals Mexican spot w/ a very cool decor! Hand-carved colorful wooden tables, chairs, excellent menu & service. Honestly, I was shocked being lost in the middle of the beautiful Kentucky farmlands. Now, my all time favorite that I am craving to get back to! I'm hooked on the Steak Burrito Fajita, w/ no onion or bell peppers. Also their green hot sauce is spicy, unique & tasty! My new fav that I get for the rest of the year lol! The night before, I had another super dish called the Camrones Al Mojo De Ajo. Crispy shrimp, lightly fried in garlic olive oil w/ a side of rice & beans w/ two slices of bread. I prefer the refried beans after trying both kinds. Also the Salsa & chips are bland for my taste, but that's a good thing so I don't get full before the main course. Totally worth the drive for me every time I'm in the Lexington area.

    Cameron's chilangos is great

    I was told by coworkers that manger came from jalapeños in Lex? We had a great meal with good flavors. I'm really burnt out on Mexican, But this place has a really good menu that town north of her doesn't have. The refried black beans & Camarones were very good. There in middle of remodeling & it 90 something outside, I was starting to get warm inside before we left. Hoping to remodeling is finished this will be ok.

    Camarones Acapulco, I cant even describe how good these are.  Mix of shrimp, bacon, pablanos.

    Excellent Mexican. The hot sauce is unique but the hubby loved it. If you like seafood, go for the Camarones Acapulco.

    All you can eat Mexican buffet 11am-2pm.

    First visit here, drove an hour an half one way to try it out. $8.99 for lunch buffet, doesn't have a big selection but enough to make it worth the price. Beef and chicken enchiladas, refried beans, taco size quesadillas, flautas, chicken fajitas, mexican soup, queso, mole, and the fixings, sour cream, cheese,lettuce, pico,tomatoes, etc. Would I drive again just to eat here, probably not, but if in the vicinity would stop again.

    I visited Perico's on Wednesday March 29, 2017 around 5pm. The place was clean and there were several customers. There were four of us and we had a side of Guacamole, steak n chicken fajitas for two, steak and fries, cheese quesadillas and soft drinks for four. The bill came to 52.93 and with tip, 63.93. Positives: Excellent food!! The chips and salsa were very good. The guacamole was awesome! The fries were good and the fajitas were also excellent. There was Mexican music playing in the background and all the employees were Hispanic. Negatives: my only complaint was the server. I asked for extra salsa and waited. I had to ask for a refill on my Coke after it sat empty for several minutes. Overall: excellent food for the price!!

    We stopped after being in town for a tournament around the corner. The service was good but the food was very bland and dry.

    Service was fine. Restaurant was clean. Don't order the taco salad from the lunch menu. Not good at all.

    Great food, extremely slow service, but I'm sure that they were understaffed? Homemade guacamole was excellent.

    Food was subpar, esp considering there are several other Mexican restaurants in the area. The margaritas seem to be their only real draw...

    Decent food, but service was very slow and there seemed to be a language barrier. Food wasn't incredible, but I'd eat there again.
