    Lots of seating and open kitchen
    Michael S.

    We were in Lexington and my wife found this eatery (literally) on Yelp. We stopped in to check it out and have dinner. The Yelp entry said it was American food, but it's actually Mexican. I sent a message to Yelp to correct that. The menu is not like a normal Mexican restaurant. They have mostly taco and burrito-type dishes. My wife had quesa birrias and I had a big burrito. Both of our meals were wonderful. Next time I'll do the custom build and not add rice and get an additional helping of meat instead. Here's the big thing - we watched them make our tortillas from scratch! One lady was making balls of the fresh dough she had in a bowl. Another lady was taking them and putting them into a tortilla press, then putting them on the griddle before they were used to wrap our delicious meals. My wife had a Top Chico and I had a bottle of Modelo. Both of our drinks were icy cold. The restaurant was nice, clean, and open. We sat at a bar looking out the front window. The stools and bar were the perfect height. The employees were all super friendly, the prices were reasonable, and the food was delicious. We will be eating again here for sure and I highly recommend going here.

    Found this joint while passing through Lexington. Located on Main St it was the only place open on Labor Day. Lucky for us it was. Super cool Mexican joint that's unlike your typical Mexican restaurant. Smaller menu that focused on more specialized dishes. I had the steak sandwich and it was incredible. Cool layout to the restaurant. Seems like a fun place to grab a drink on a Friday night. Definitely recommend.

    My husband and I were in Lexington when we decided to have dinner in town. It was close to where we were, so we both agreed to dine here. Glad that we're able to park on the street just a few paces from the door. Inside's clean and the decor gives a cool industrial vibe. The tin ceiling caught my attention, too. You order at the counter and sit wherever you want. I ordered quesa birrias. It's my present addiction! Lol The order comes with 4 tacos. In other places, it usually comes with 2 to 3. So, this girl's happy about that. Each taco also has generous amount of flavorful meat and cheese. Oh, they also use fresh farm ingredients and make everything in house including the tortillas. We were able to watch a couple of ladies make them. Everyone of the staff have smiling faces. I recommend to give them a try!

    Stumbled upon this place on none other than.. yelp! Glad we did. It is the most authentic Mexican food we have had since moving back to NC. I got the Birria Tacos and my husband had the carne asada. Both were very delicious! Fast, pleasant service! I really liked the decor, cute neon signs and exposed brick. Listed our food above, but you can also make your own bowl, quesadilla, nachos and more. If you're around and looking for some yummy food, I highly recommend!

    My friend and I ate at The Eatery in Lexington and it was fantastic! You order and pay at the counter, then they bring the food to you. WARNING: it's hard to stay focused on ordering because you can see them cooking everything to order and they were making fresh tortillas - what a yummy difference! The Quesabirria Tacos were out of this world! Crispy shell, stuffed with tender meat, grilled onions, fresh cilantro and lots of mozzarella cheese. You get a side of broth, tomatillo sauce and some kind of spicy sauce that was a great compliment to everything. My friend got the grilled chicken burrito. It was huge and held rice, beans, cheese, lettuce, pico and sour cream. She loved it! We will definitely go back!!

    The food was delicious. Service was fast and employees were friendly. The "vibe" of the place was amazing with relaxing music and nice decor. I will definitely be back!

    My family really wanted to visit this place and I've seen it on tik tok. It's big nice and clean and they were playing good music . They don't have a menu you can look at or prices listed for drinks sides etc. It's very pricey in comparison to other Mexican restaurants but the quesabirrias are worth it. All the salsas were good the meat was great and the shells were really really good as well as the cheese.

    First full day of opening and the crowd was ready for something new and different in little Lexington. The staff handled the hectic crowd perfectly! I came in the middle of lunch rush, as everyone else was just as excited to check out this hot spot, The Eatery. Took a little time getting to the food bar to place my order, but it was understandable. I ordered the white cilantro rice bowl; all sorts of toppings to add. Several different proteins to choose from as well. Toppings were fresh and the salsa had the best flavor. Placing your order has the same concept as a Chipotle or Qdoba restaurant. Southwestern style! Loved it, can't wait to go back!

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.

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.
