First time here in New Year's Eve. Staff wasn't amused they were working but the service and food…read morewere excellent anyways and appreciated they were open. Had the first bowl, nice mix of spice and flavor. Chips and salsa were never ending and service was prompt. Wife tried the ACS which is an ACP - good flavor. This place is clean and well run and the manager was out on the floor keeping check on the dining room and customers. We will be back. Price is right here as well - $90 for 6 with tip.

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.

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.

The wait staff was out in the parking lot. The clueless manager up front doing nothing. Took forever to get served.

Year after year of bad service.....ehh food reviews and they are still in business. The Lexington consumers are the fools for going back and i have been one but no more. Ever.

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.

We discovered it several months ago on a whim (just happened to catch our eye on a drive). We've been many times and have tried several different options.

They also have to-go available, which we have done as well. Highly recommend.
