    My standard chiles rellenos...  4/5
    Valerie W.

    Great service, VERY reasonable prices, and a ton of FINE choices!! We had the place to ourselves on a late Sunday afternoon, along with 2x1 margaritas. My two Chiles Rellenos were ok, not the best I've had, but every else's stuff looked great. Hope to make it back here next time I'm in Lexington, try some of their other especialidades de la casa, and maybe even catch the live music they offer on Friday and Saturday nights!! TONS of choices for good Mexican food here in Lex., and this was a great hidden surprise!!

    This is good Mexican. The menu is a little different but the food is similar to other Mexican restaurants. It's fresh and fast and tasty. The atmosphere here is nice.

    A lovely Mexican restaurant with great prices, friendly service, and great food (the menu has a wide variety of options!). The food was tasty and we also enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa! I came here for the first time with a friend of mine a few weeks ago and we both are excited to come back throughout the summer (they have a lot of great cocktails on their menu including a fun margaritas bucket set up that looks great to share with friends!). We also tried their churro dessert which was delicious as well! The ambiance was lovely and upbeat, perfect for summer nights!

    Covered outdoor bar

    Food was great and service was incredible. Covered outdoor bar and patio is also my new favorite spot in Lexington.

    I got my food via door dash, delivery went good nothing was spilled and everything was packaged good. My food was really good I loved the rice and beans. The rice was made perfectly. I got a fajita I wish it was cooked a little more but I personally like my food kind of charred. But it taste amazing and I would highly recommend it

    Tacos  de carne asada, the margarita with sangria swirl, chips, salsa, and queso

    Restaurant looks cool and chic from outside and inside. Everything was very clean (including bathrooms) and the indoor/outdoor patio situation was giving summer vibes. Staff were attentive, competent, friendly, and we had some great laughs! Food was delicious, margarita selection was top I recommend the margarita with bourbon but we tried them all and loved them all for different reasons. I had the tacos de carne asada and would recommend it to all taco lovers. No weird boingy gristle pieces (y'all know what I mean). Great place to go for a date or with friends and large parties or alone to sit at the bar.

    Food is fresh and delicious. The servers are walking if not running to provide timely, quality service. Salsa is good, add a little hot sauce provided and it's just to my personal liking. Fresh, hot flavorful. This is an upstanding restaurant and the prices reflect that. Very unique tasteful ambiance, great for a first date, family gathering, team meeting, there's room for it all.

    Little disorganized but good food and quick service. I wouldn't recommend doing a carry out order on the phone.

    I've always skipped this spot when at the mall and I'm not sure why... I finally got convinced to…read morego out for girls night with the promise of soft served margaritas. The place is beautiful from the outside and the inside. It is a very modern establishment however, they have some unique qualities I hadn't seen in Lexington. For starters, they sat us right away even though it was busy. Next, we ordered a guacamole appetizer and someone came with a cart and made it fresh in front of us! I thought that was super cool since you also get to pick your toppings. The margaritas tasted amazing... it was truly a good ice cream base; I've had nothing like it. Their food is good, they have so many options and the portions are good but it is pricey. The vibe is super fun, it's like a genuine party. Definitely recommend to anyone who hasn't been. 10/10

    Rating: (3.7/5) We…read moreabsolutely love El Asadero and have been here hundreds of times, which is why this review is tough to write. This is only my second post, and unfortunately this visit was disappointing compared to our usual experiences. Our server was very friendly and attentive, which we appreciated. However, the beer came out warm, which was a rough start. We ordered the lettuce tacos and a cheesesteak quesadilla. It seemed like the food sat in the service window a bit too long -- the lettuce wasn't crispy and we had to ask for new lettuce for the tacos. The quesadilla itself was good, but it could've used some extra flavor. We also ordered hot sauce, but it wasn't spicy at all, which was a letdown. That said, we know what this place is capable of and this visit felt more like an off night than the norm. We'll definitely be back to give it another shot, because El Asadero is usually one of our go-to spots.
