Taco Bell

One of the three best taquerias that I have ever eaten at in the state of Kentucky. We had a…read moreselection of authentic tacos and burritos. Pastor, asada, tinga, lingua, and barbacoa. Everything was incredible and the service was even better. The place isn't fancy, but it doesn't have to be, it looks like it literally hasn't changed since the mid 90s and usually that is the sign of a great place to eat when it comes to authentic taquerias. Next time we are in Lexington this is where we'll eat, again. PS there are wicked good homemade refrigerated table hot sauces. The Habanero is straight fire.

I'd say barbacoa and lingua were my top 2 because of the immense flavor. I will warn you that after eating this food be prepared to feel a bit sluggish. Got a small cabeza burrito also and was good but would recommend using a different meat than what I chose because it gets lost in the fixings. Also, the tacos had too much cilantro but I just took what I wanted off. This spot reminds me of the taco stands on side of the road in California. I wish they had a few more sauces to choose from

First off, we were greeted by friendly people who welcomed us with open arms. The atmosphere is super cool and interesting. Each room has a different vibe, but with the same underlying eclectic aesthetic. We had chips, queso, guac, and chunky salsa. When I say the salsa was the best I've had in a restaurant, that is saying something because I have ordered massive amounts of chips and salsa in my life. This place is top-notch for sure. I think the food was some of the best eclectic Mexican I've ever had. Our server was super fantastic. It was Taco Tuesday, so I enjoyed a half-price peach bourbon punch that was made in-house and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend! I cannot rave enough about this fabulous restaurant. So much fun, so delicious, so welcoming, and cool!

It was dry and cold, but life is full of disappointments, and I've just added another. Several folks in my party ordered the Combinatiion platters for $12.50, which appeared to be more plentiful and satisfying than my $17.50 burrito and you'd think that my burrito would be more generous with ingredients. Service was good and friendly, and the restrooms were clean, so that's worth two stars. On a final note, I usually pay $9.25 for a Burrito Carne Asada at Supermarket Aguascalientes' little restaurant, so i was expecting more here for the price difference.

The restaurant was busy so I suspect this was not normal and just the result of a busy rush. We will definitely be back!
