    Carne Asada street tacos
    Betty C.

    Nice place. Good decor. Decent food, normally the street tacos are in corn tortillas, but these are in flour. So they are bigger, which is a plus. However, I do love the traditional corn tortillas for street tacos!! They also didn't have el pastor tacos. So I got carne Asada instead. Good price though. The rice is amazing. Tasted great otherwise and the staff was super super friendly!

    Lexington is a small town, so the answer to the age old question, "Where do you want to go for dinner?" is normally fairly easy to answer. Las Carretas is the only Mexican place in town and the food here is pretty yummy. It has standard "Mexican restaurant" fare, but a few stand out (to me). The "Top 5" dishes that I think are really good here are: 1. Gordo Special- Grilled shrimp served with avocado, sour cream, chili peppers, shredded lettuce and Spanish style rice 2. Shrimp Nachos- Grilled shrimp served with roasted peppers and onions, smothered with queso cheese. Served over tortilla chips 3. Chili Relleno- Served with rice or beans, Mexican salad 4. Shrimp Enchilada Verdes- 2 enchilada's covered in a green chili sauce, served with a side salad 4. Any of their fajitas

    This was our first time coming to this Mexican restaurant, and we consider ourselves to be Mexican…read morefood snobs! Ha! We love our Mexican food! The inside of the restaurant is classic industrial, cozy, super casual, and has a fun upbeat vibe. Everyone serving in the restaurant at all different levels is very kind and friendly. When we sat down, we were brought the typical basket of tortilla chips, along with their homemade salsa... And an extra surprise was there Mini bowl of queso dip. It was creamy and yummy. The salsa wasn't as spicy as we prefer, but it was decent. Our sever took our drink rider which were margaritas. They have a very long list of all types of flavors of margaritas... Are you in the mood, this is a place to go! They also offer three different sizes in the margaritas, plus a ton of other drinks as they have a very large bar. It was a Saturday night, so It was pretty crowded, but there was not a wait for a table. Our waitress brought back our margaritas, but it took her over 35 minutes to get to our table to even take our dinner order. At least they brought us three baskets of chips to hold us over! After a little over a half hour, she came back to our table and asked us if we were still waiting for our food... We explained to her that she never actually took our dinner order to begin with. We ordered street tacos and jalepeno cream cheese ans chicken enchiladas... black beans and rice. Everything was tasty. We were starving at this point because it was almost an hour when our food arrived. She apologized for forgetting about us in between the tables served before us... It was worth it... however, we will order for take out next time. Waiting at our table and having 30 min between a margarita and a meal was too long for our liking.

    Short and Sweet!! We come here at least twice a week!!…read more It is the Best Mexican food in Liberty... hands down! Poblano Burrito is my Favorite!! It usually comes with a white sauce but I like to replace with the Queso Blanco cheese!! Rancho Grande! Is greasy and flavorless! Bar atmosphere... Mi Hacienda is about the same! Staff seems aloof! Honestly, no comparison to any other! The Staff and management are Muy Beuno!!
