This place is a great place to stop on a drive eat toward Raleigh. Barely off the highway yet on Main Street in Lexington. They play relaxing Hispanic music. It's kept very clean and is very welcoming. This place checks all the boxes for service, setting and food. One of my favorite NC discoveries. This is my second time stopping for lunch. I ordered the Quesabirria with refried beans with a Jarritos this trip. Waiting patiently on the couch by the door. Looking forward to devouring this plate of food..... Outstanding meal! Meal looked exactly like the picture on the menu board. 3 sauces for dipping and recommend the refried beans as an add on for flavor and to balance out the meal. Off to Raleigh with a full and satisfied belly! 5 stars well earned Thanks! read more

Drove a good distance to try this place out, we arrive at noon and they're closed where their hours show 8am-9pm. People were inside signaling us that they're closed. read more

The Eatery at the Blend is a welcome edition to downtown Lexington! The menu had a lot of items you wouldn't find at a typical Mexican restaurant. I ordered the Quesabirria and a Mexican Coke. Man was it delicious! I loved broth it came with to dip it in as well as the sauce. It was full of flavor without being too salty. Definitely recommended! The restaurant itself was nicely decorated and had a modern feel to it. I think it would make a great lunch date. The hostess who took my order was very nice and friendly. The Eatery is must try while in Lexington! read more

We were in Lexington and my wife found this eatery (literally) on Yelp. We stopped in to check it out and have dinner. The Yelp entry said it was American food, but it's actually Mexican. I sent a message to Yelp to correct that. The menu is not like a normal Mexican restaurant. They have mostly taco and burrito-type dishes. My wife had quesa birrias and I had a big burrito. Both of our meals were wonderful. Next time I'll do the custom build and not add rice and get an additional helping of meat instead. Here's the big thing - we watched them make our tortillas from scratch! One lady was making balls of the fresh dough she had in a bowl. Another lady was taking them and putting them into a tortilla press, then putting them on the griddle before they were used to wrap our delicious meals. My wife had a Top Chico and I had a bottle of Modelo. Both of our drinks were icy cold. The restaurant was nice, clean, and open. We sat at a bar looking out the front window. The stools and bar were the perfect height. The employees were all super friendly, the prices were reasonable, and the food was delicious. We will be eating again here for sure and I highly recommend going here. read more

Found this joint while passing through Lexington. Located on Main St it was the only place open on Labor Day. Lucky for us it was. Super cool Mexican joint that's unlike your typical Mexican restaurant. Smaller menu that focused on more specialized dishes. I had the steak sandwich and it was incredible. Cool layout to the restaurant. Seems like a fun place to grab a drink on a Friday night. Definitely recommend. read more

Don't get scared off by the simplistic entry into the establishment because the food is primo! I had the grilled chicken with pinto beans and rice And salad. Was tender and very tasty. Husband had some sort of shredded beef deep fried with a dipping sauce and he wouldn't share because it was so good (snuck a bite anyway)! Try it! You'll like it! read more

My husband and I were in Lexington when we decided to have dinner in town. It was close to where we were, so we both agreed to dine here. Glad that we're able to park on the street just a few paces from the door. Inside's clean and the decor gives a cool industrial vibe. The tin ceiling caught my attention, too. You order at the counter and sit wherever you want. I ordered quesa birrias. It's my present addiction! Lol The order comes with 4 tacos. In other places, it usually comes with 2 to 3. So, this girl's happy about that. Each taco also has generous amount of flavorful meat and cheese. Oh, they also use fresh farm ingredients and make everything in house including the tortillas. We were able to watch a couple of ladies make them. Everyone of the staff have smiling faces. I recommend to give them a try! read more

Stumbled upon this place on none other than.. yelp! Glad we did. It is the most authentic Mexican food we have had since moving back to NC. I got the Birria Tacos and my husband had the carne asada. Both were very delicious! Fast, pleasant service! I really liked the decor, cute neon signs and exposed brick. Listed our food above, but you can also make your own bowl, quesadilla, nachos and more. If you're around and looking for some yummy food, I highly recommend! read more

My friend and I ate at The Eatery in Lexington and it was fantastic! You order and pay at the counter, then they bring the food to you. WARNING: it's hard to stay focused on ordering because you can see them cooking everything to order and they were making fresh tortillas - what a yummy difference! The Quesabirria Tacos were out of this world! Crispy shell, stuffed with tender meat, grilled onions, fresh cilantro and lots of mozzarella cheese. You get a side of broth, tomatillo sauce and some kind of spicy sauce that was a great compliment to everything. My friend got the grilled chicken burrito. It was huge and held rice, beans, cheese, lettuce, pico and sour cream. She loved it! We will definitely go back!! read more

Unexpected Gem in Lexington, NC I've lived in several major cities, traveled through nearly every U.S. state, and explored much of Europe--and yet The Eatery in Lexington, NC, ranks among the best Mexican restaurants I've ever experienced. The Birria is rich and flavorful, the tacos are perfectly balanced, and the steak is cooked to perfection. Every dish I've tried here has been a standout. If you're anywhere near Lexington, do yourself a favor and visit The Eatery. You won't regret it. Thank you to the team for consistently delivering amazing food and unforgettable experiences! read more

Our go-to place for Mexican food when we're in Lexington. Every bit as good as the Mexican food here in Mexico's second city, Chicago!. I had the Quesoburria last time I was there. Excellent! The staff was attentive and answered all our questions about several items. Great ambiance in a turn of the (20th) century building. read more

The food was delicious. Service was fast and employees were friendly. The "vibe" of the place was amazing with relaxing music and nice decor. I will definitely be back! read more

I've been here 3 times so far only because I live in King BUT the food (burritos especially) are sooo good, I drove 45 minutes there and back today to get them for me and my boyfriend. It's the type of place you crave all the time, and the man who runs the front desk is always so nice, today he threw in chips with salsa and queso just out of kindness for us. I will ALWAYS recommend this place. read more

Great looking spot. Friendly people. Food ok. Our bowls were pretty sparse. One was ordered with chips as the base with queso. The chips were buried under lettuce, and they forgot the queso. When it was provided, it was kinda thin and not very warm. The Quesabirria was ok, needed more flavor and less grease on the outside. They make their own tortillas, which are good. I would say stick with street tacos. We'll try again. read more

My family really wanted to visit this place and I've seen it on tik tok. It's big nice and clean and they were playing good music . They don't have a menu you can look at or prices listed for drinks sides etc. It's very pricey in comparison to other Mexican restaurants but the quesabirrias are worth it. All the salsas were good the meat was great and the shells were really really good as well as the cheese. read more

A little surprised and ashamed at myself for not reviewing The Eatery The Blend yet. Located right on Main Street, it is super convenient and one of my favorite places to grab lunch in Lexington. Certainly similar to a Moe's/Barberitos type concept, but with their slight variations on things. I have always had great experiences with the staff over a long period of time and when I am ready to get out of my work from home office, there are many times I run over to The Eatery The Blend to grab a burrito and take a seat in the front window with a view of Main Street! Love having them in downtown Lexington! read more

First full day of opening and the crowd was ready for something new and different in little Lexington. The staff handled the hectic crowd perfectly! I came in the middle of lunch rush, as everyone else was just as excited to check out this hot spot, The Eatery. Took a little time getting to the food bar to place my order, but it was understandable. I ordered the white cilantro rice bowl; all sorts of toppings to add. Several different proteins to choose from as well. Toppings were fresh and the salsa had the best flavor. Placing your order has the same concept as a Chipotle or Qdoba restaurant. Southwestern style! Loved it, can't wait to go back! read more

We were looking for something different and thought we'd try this place. The food is fresh and has a good flavor. We both got the "made to order" chicken quesadillas. They were quite thin and the ingredients, especially the meat, was sparse. They charge extra for chips and salsa so we weren't used to that especially in the south. It was kinda pricey but comparable to today's prices. Salsarita's is just as good and a better value, in our opinion. It's pretty loud as well, more like a bar feel. read more

I'm at a loss for words. The birria tacos absolutely sent me to another planet. I popped in here to check it out and was thinking I'd probably order a bowl or something, but once I saw that quesabirria was on the menu, my mind sent me in that direction. And my oh my, they did not disappoint. So much flavor in the birria broth and the corn tortillas dipped into it as well UGHHHH! !,!,!|£|£,+~!~€|*|! Sorry for the random letter and symbols. But I am just trying to stress the level of deliciousness I experienced. Please go ahead and give this place a try !! Can't wait to return and try more stuff on the menu :) read more

I highly recommend it!! The food OMG! It's soooooo delicious. You won't be disappointed at all and the service is excellent.

The food was fresh. Tasted delicious! But honestly who runs out of chips at lunch time?! The prices were actually higher. We were looking forward to the chips and salsa. Not happy. The Mexican Cola they had on the shelf not cold they would not sell to us. The service was poor. Atmosphere nice. Not sure I will be back after this. Disappointed!! read more

The Birria Tacos are Top Notch... do not even look at the menu, just order the Birria, you will not be disappointed

Fantastic local Chipotle style fast casual Mexican place. A majority of the ingredients are locally sourced. All of the proteins we're well prepared and flavorfully seasoned. Portions we're very generous for the price. All of the toppings appeared to be freshly made in house and complemented the protein choices very well. This place is basically Chipotle taken up a notch and improved with the obvious attention to everything that comes with a local joint. Will be back any time I'm around Lexington! read more

Not only was the food top tier-the customer service is great. The workers felt more like friends than workers. AND the place is beautiful. I would recommend this place to anybody wanting Mexican food. There aren't too many options-which is great because it's not overwhelming. And pictures of all of the food. Plus it's customizable. It's not cheap-but it's not expensive. It's 100% worth the $14 I spent just for my food. 10/10 food/service/vibesBirria Ta read more

Better than chipotle. the food was quick, we did have an issue but it wasn't anything the staff couldn't fix. (we ordered steak and they gave us chicken) they swapped it out in minutes. the ambiance was relaxing. i LOVED the horchata. read more

Great spot! Super clean and bright inside. The owner is friendly and helpful with recommendations. Try the birria tacos!! Delicious!!

The food is amazing got to come get you a build your own bowl I get it every other day after work the workers are great!!!! Keep up the good work!!!! Will continue to eat here!!! read more

The food is amazing. The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly. They have the absolute best quesadillas I've ever had. The owner is so very nice and remembers the loyal customers. I would recommend trying this place. Also if you like hot sauce (which I use to dip my quesadillas in) you won't find anything like it. The hot sauce is made fresh and explodes with heat and flavor. read more

El Comedor has moved in here but searching for them still brings up the Eatery. Similar idea, MUCH better food! Will definitely be back

This place is going down hill. When it first opened I thought it was great, exciting, something Lexington needed badly. Fast forward to now. Everything looks lazily prepared, flavor is not there, and way overpriced for what you get. A chicken bowl with no extras add a drink almost $14. Last two times I've been in the protein is dry. Didn't have their beef besides ground beef. Overall it just looks like some effort has been lost somewhere. I hope it changes because I loved this place before but now I don't really want to come back read more

There Combo #1 is to die for! You have to get this when you go there! Love the environment and the staff was very friendly! we will definitely be back! read more

I went to the Eatery with my mom and 3 kids ages 10, 12, and 16. Amazingly we all agreed that the food was awesome !! The staff was very friendly too. I wish we lived closer or that they could open a location I'm Clayton NC. read more

I came here for lunch and had a chicken bowl and a ultra beer, good atmosphere, quality food, a little pricey although if I lived in Lexington I'd definitely go here before I drove all the way to Salisbury for the closest chipotle. Very friendly staff, and they are open for dine-in with mask and 6 ft restrictions. (There cheese dip is more of a nacho cheese than a Mexican Queso) read more
