This small, very small taqueria serves up some nice, well filled tacos, and has for over 10 years…read more They also serve an excellent Pozole Verde on Thursdays - the thing that really got my attention. When I was younger, so much younger than today, I traveled internationally for a Fortune 500 company for over 12 years. In those travels I spent over a year in Mexico, because it was a problem place, to do business in any way - to protect inventory (we hired armed guards to patrol behind fenced areas, 24/7), to collect accounts receivable, especially from the Federal and State governments, to operate within the guidelines of the SEC! The good part was to sample food I had no idea existed. I had birria for the first time in 1979 in Guadalajara - stew only, no tacos at the time; carbito; and I had Pozole Verde for the first time, with pork, amazing dish! The version of pozole verde served here is very good, but does not have quite the layers of flavor this dish is famous for, like the ones I've sampled at Taqueria Los Juanes, El Camino Real, and Paisano El Tacos - all in Winston. Still it is a dish worth having a go at! I topped the relatively thin stew with cheese, chopped white onion, chicharrones, and avocado. In addition, I squeezed on lime juice and added hot sauce. All of this added additional flavors as well as a variety of textures. I wish there had been cabbage and cilantro to add as well. I tried the Quesabirria tacos and found them to be very nice - well filled and flavorful. I'm glad I tried the food here, and if in the area I'd stop in, but I would not consider this a destination spot.

The 3 1/2 star average rating didn't give me high hopes but it turned out to be a good choice. This is your average Mexican restaurant. You will find about the same things on the menu here as other similar locations. There is bar seating in the back. They have margaritas and other adult drinks both frozen and on the rocks. The Blue Margarita was pretty damn good. Now on to the food. The complimentary chips and salsa were very good. Chicken soup and Polo Poblano are both excellent. I left very impressed with the food.

A communication error left the restaurant unprepared for the volume of guest that decended upon them all at once. With that in consideration, the staff was very accommodating, organized and efficient. Unfortunately the food was not as good. The chips and salsa taste fresh from the shelf. Open and serve. The rice was nearly flavorless and I suspect that the refried beans come in bags of powdered bean flakes. The ACP chicken had the over dried texture meat that's been precooked or held too long on the hot line. Even worse...the frozen food fish patties with barely dressed tri- colored bag slaw. Acceptable for a busy mom fish taco family dinner. But I expect so much more from every restaurant. The Chipotle Shrimp was the better of the entrees that I tried. The cream sauce was too thick, almost like a country gravy. However the shrimp were nicely cooked and the grilled onions were the best thing on the plate. Overall the experience was at best mediocre and at worst sad.

I'm going to start this review by saying this, the taco salad made my mother sick. Within minutes…read moreof eating she was getting sick. Also, the prices have increased tremendously. I get the prices of things are increasing but, a small side of sour cream should not cost a customer $3. I work for a food distribution company, so I am well aware of the cost restaurants are paying. But more to the point not only are prices increased but the quality and portion sizes are decreasing. I always order the same dish. Normally it is really good and plenty of chipotle sauce. This time they looked like they came from Taco Bell and barely any sauce. My husband ordered a pina colada and let's just say it was a premixed slushy and I would be surprised if there was alcohol in it at all, reminded me of a 711 slurpee. And the large margaritas have shrank. Don't your customers deserve better?

The bar and wait staff do that little extra that that really elivates and delivers on the experience. I prefer my salsa thicker, however I could taste the made in house freshness. My Cocktail was thick and loaded with shrimp and vegetables. A little spice would have been nice but that's what hot sauce is for. After finding this place, l went back two days in a row. Once for just drinks and once for drinks and a small bite. I'm looking forward to returning for dinner.

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.
