    This Mexican restaurant is new, it's next to chocolate holler downtown and is pretty good with great lunch specials and happy hour. Definitely a spot to check out. The birria tacos had to be my favorite! Crispy on the outside and cooked to perfection meat on the inside.

    Chimichanga with fries? lol

    I love Mexican Cuisine and I love this place. Good Margaritas, Classic Mexican Beer and great food. I always get two fried jalapeños to start my evening here. Perfection. Usually get Tacos de Birria as my meal. Can't go wrong. Something different about going to a Mexican restaurant where waiters are dressed in white button ups with ties. Come check it out. Leave happy.

    This is one of my favorite spots for authentic Mexican food. The food and service are always top-notch, and the restaurant is spotless with a welcoming atmosphere. I had the fajitas, and they were absolutely delicious. I'll definitely be coming back regularly.

    Expanding menu to include seafood.  Tonight was oysters on the half shell with ceviche  .... Everything is so good!!!

    Consistently excellent. Unpretentious and full of delight. Nothing flashy, yet still exquisite.

    I started doing my reviews in this order: The Appeal…read moreThe Bad (?) The Good I consider myself some what of a seafood boil "snob" being that I lived in Las Vegas around some of the best restaurants in the world and have had seafood all over the country. There isn't any seafood in the small town I live in so every time I go out of town for work I stop to get seafood. The appeal of the Storming Crab: this place is located just down from the Fayette Mall which use to be a booming shopping center. The restaurant has a HUGE Fiberglass Crab on the outside of the building and hip graffiti painting outside. Inside the restaurant reminds you of being on a ship if it was autographed by everyone you know. The host was nice and so was my server who was super sweet. The Bad (?): I had been here a few times before and remember being disappointed because of the butter reminded me of the jug of melted popcorn butter instead of real melted butter. - However this time it didn't taste that way so I'm not sure if they changed it but it really won me back as a customer. The Good: Something I did find today that I have never found before is their seafood bread! I don't know what kind of witchcraft it is but it is one of the best things I've had. Think cheddar bay biscuits x100! Overall the Storming Crab is a solid choice. As someone who is a seafood person, if you get a boil, and know how to peel seafood, get the head ON shrimp vs. the head off- it should be fresher and more meat.

    Upon walking in we were greeted and seated by a shoeless host. . The dinner crowd was in full…read moreeffect. The place was dark and moody. The waitress was very friendly and familiar with the menu. She explained everything and was very helpful. We ordered and the food was amazing. The spices were on point. Crab legs, shrimp and crawfish were delicious.

    I think I've found my newest favorite restaurant in Lexington! Old Bourbon Country (OBC) Kitchen,…read moreis a showstopper! This place is a must for anyone local if you haven't been, and if you're not local, it's seriously worth the trip! There are so many great things I can say about OBC, the service is phenomenal; professional, amazing recommendations, and they go out of their way to give you an unforgettable experience! Their bourbon selection is fantastic; they're guaranteed to have everything you'd want and even some things you haven't tried or been able to find anywhere else. The food is on another level! Starting with with bacon in the glass for the table is a must! This gives you a taste of the quality to come and the peanut butter accompaniment that comes with it works so well! The depth of flavor in the Cola-Braised Short Rib Tacos is unreal & even their rolls are amazing! The Ribeye is cooked to your exact liking; is a very high quality cut, and has a delicious seasoning which is the differentiator for me that makes this one of my favorite steaks I've had in a very long time! I could go on & on, but you need to experience it for yourself!

    I was truly stunned by the incredible bourbon/whiskey selection at OBC. They have over 800 unique…read moreoptions and the talented/educated staff to match in order to guide you through the selection process. The shear number of bottles on the bar will keep your eyes moving about and hard to focus on anything else. For food, I had the wagyu meatballs and couscous salad. Both were well sized and utterly delicious. I'll be back here again for sure
