Each and every one of our lunch dates are very important to both of us. We decided to try Mexican in the area. I asked people at my work what the best Mexican food is and they said El Jarrito. My wife was researching on Yelp as well and suggested El Jarrito to me via text. I replied that is exactly what I heard. We had a place to go and my wife arrived to pick me up. A few minutes later we were at El Jarrito. They have an adequate parking lot and there is also a large lot next door with free parking. Upon entering, we could tell this place is frequented by locals who all knew it was delicious . We grabbed a table because we saw no "wait to be seated sign" and it's very casual. It is a very small place, they have about 7 booths and 4 tables in the middle. We were quickly brought menus and offered drinks. A short while later our drinks arrived and we were provided complimentary chips and salsa. We continued to peruse the menu. We both decided to get lunch special items. Our server who appeared to be taking care of the entire dining area came back to take our orders. My wife chose the steak fajitas and I decided to get the Pelusa. We chatted about the day as we waited a short time for our entrees to arrive. They looked really good. I was especially impressed with the melted cheese on the Palusa. My wife really enjoyed her fajitas as well and we both commented on the yummy flavor and inexpensive prices. This was a perfect stop for us in Yadkinville and we will definitely be back!

This small spot was a bit of a surprise, though there were some pretty good reviews, mixed in with…read morethe not so good ones - in fact, 19 of the 25 reviews were 5 star! It is a small place, and frankly the inside is more than a little rough, and it is not the cleanest spot I've ever been to. It is located just off of S. State Street in the "downtown" area. But the food is generally decent and the service has been good as well. The salsa is very, very good, though I did get stale chips on one visit. I've been here several and have tried the California Burrito, the Pastor Torta, and the Carnitas. The burrito was well sized, I chose shredded chicken. The well filled flour tortilla was covered with a very tasty cheese sauce with a sprinkling of pico de gallo. The burrito did not contain French Fries as is the norm for this item! The Pastor Torta was also well filled with al pastor, onion, jalapeños and a Mayo spread on a sub like roll - this was a very nice sandwich. The Carnitas were nice done with some nice outside crust. The pork chunks were not plentiful, and there was a very small amount of guacamole salad and a few slices of jalapeño. Though it came with rice and beans, this was one of the smaller Carnita plates I have been served. I might drop in if in the area, but this is not a destination spot for me.

I normally don't place reviews for typical fine-in restaurants if I do a pickup order, but this had…read moreto be an exception for me. Maybe it's not a true/fair rating since my order would probably be considered an appetizer to most, but it was so much better than I expected. I got the chicken fajita nachos which came with house made tortilla chips, chicken, peppers, onions and...carrots?! Was a surprise to me, and I was skeptical at first. Don't think this is the norm because I was told they were out of zucchini so they did carrots instead. It honestly was a really interesting (but good) substitution! The chicken was cooked perfectly and had a great seasoning/marinade to it. The queso was fantastic and it all had just the right amount of peppers, onions, and chips to bring it all together. I'm definitely going to make time to go sit down here and get the full experience soon

And spotted its iconic small red building (absolutely charming). Just one look and you're curious... we walk inside. We had a German Shepherd with us. I walked in and asked if we could sit with our dog in the outdoor seating. Greeted with an enthusiastic, "Hey Amigo!" I was caught off guard but just knew immediately it was going to be a GOATED local spot. Outdoor seating was exceptional! Nice, cozy and simple - nothing more, nothing less. I ordered the Birria Taco dish. Plated perfectly, cooked to order, taste? Phenomenal simply. The beef was so tender, the consomé soaked perfectly and complemented not only the tacos, but the rice and beans served with it. Pure cinema. Service was fast. The guy that greeted me earlier? Yeah, he was serving too and he had everything locked in. What a guy! I imagine the back of house staff are all stellar people too - complements to the chef and team. You guys are awesome. The thing that did it for us was the small free dessert. I don't exactly know the name of it but... FREE? Perfect for the two of us real quick before we left. If you see this little gem on your map. Go there expeditiously and enjoy the little things. Perfect everything.

The wait staff was readily available for us all the time, and friendly too. I ordered the steak nachos supreme, which I have to say were pretty good. The guac was tasty and the steak bits were plentiful. They used the typical queso, white cheese, very liquid on the hot plate. It covers things in a layer and tastes good. My friend ordered tacos al pastor. Tasty, says he. Overall, it is decent food, and I'd come back.

Tuesday Taco Night Perfection!…read more Tacos and Beer Paola in Lexington is such a gem. This unique spot sits next to its sister location--an older Stop & Go that's packed with Mexican boots, treats, sodas, and food goods--which already sets the vibe before you even walk in. We stopped in for Tuesday taco night and were immediately impressed. Chips and salsa came out with two fantastic salsas, both full of flavor. There's also a Pepsi cooler stocked with Mexican sodas and beers, which was a fun and authentic touch. The staff was beyond friendly--welcoming, patient, and genuinely happy to have us there. Now the tacos... wow. Finger-licking good. I devoured three tacos: brisket, steak, sausage, and cow head--every single one was incredible. The cheese dip was smooth, rich, and absolutely wonderful. My husband loved his chicken and steak tacos as well. If I had to give one tip: do not skip the roasted jalapeños. Trust me. We'll definitely be back soon--and next time, we're bringing the kiddos.

The decor is bright and welcoming with colorful garlands and traditional Katrina's ( sugar skulls) eager to greet you. Their menu is impressively extensive and has something for just about everyone...even your vegan friends! . The chips we received at the table as we looked at the menu were fresh and hot and the sauce was mild yet delicious. I was in town visiting a friend who raved about this place and I can see why. She ordered us a grilled pineapple and cactus plate/ appetizer you eat with chips. I guess I now eat cacti! It was really yummy. The salt and the sweet elevate the experience quite nicely. I ended up ordering a steak burrito. It came with steak and rice beans & crema fresca which is actually more authentic than the sour cream substitute. I was impressed with how well the steak was cooked. Often you get steak that's been overcooked and cut up and hidden in a mess of toppings but not here. The flavors were distinct the steak bits were tender and flavorful the rice and sauce was delicious and everything tasted fresh and more importantly Home made! I couldn't stop stuffing my face lol The icing on the cake was the service. The staff is amazing super friendly and attentive. I definitely recommend checking out La Botana if you're in the Greensbor area. You won't be disappointed. Tell em Pedro sent you!! No don't!! lol They have no idea who I am. Lmao ...yet.
