Great spot right on UK campus. Very convienant. My girlfriend i ate there yesterday. Tacos were amazing and the margaritas were awesome. Great service great staff. Very low key atmosphere. I will be there again for taco Tuesday. Check it out. I gave 5 stars because the people were very welcoming and nice. Thats always important for me with any business. Thank you

First time to Bandido. We dined outside on the patio and our meals were great. Now it is a walk-in order process, however, once you order they deliver some of the best Mexicana foods you would desire. The tequila selection was the best I have seen for a small hole in the wall restaurant. The owner, the cooks all take pride in making sure you get what you want and are satisfied with what you order. We saw several people come just for carryout and in our group of 7 we had a blast. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Wonderfulll!! I didn't even like burritos for the last 15yrs of my life until I tried them here. I got the Buffalo chicken burrito and the California burrito. They were amazing. Wonderful service, they greeted us when we walked in and checked on us frequently to make sure all the food was okay. I only ate 2/3 of my burrito and finished the next day, due to work I had to eat it a little cold; still great.The bathroom was nice and clean and had a chalk wall! Well kept.Parking: Depending on the day and time, it will be a bit hard to find parking spaces.

Food was disappointing. Tacos were dry and didn’t have any special kind of sauce or anything really going on. I had the“Maui Wowie” but couldn’t really taste anything Maui or Wowie. Also the taco week special seemed to be falsely advertised. Made it seem like I could try 3 out of 5 of the taco week tacos for a special price but I had to get 3 of the same kind and did not get the deal.Neat location. Seemed clean with decent options. But no flavor! Probably won’t be back just because I was disappointed. And it was overpriced.Especially considering the lack of what was or wasn’t on the tacos.

We were in Lexington visiting our daughter and were craving Mexican. On the corner was Bandido. The gentleman working the front was so nice and willing to make us happy. I got the steak street tacos yummy also veggie burrito buffalo chicken fries and elote corn covered Doritos. That elote was mind blowing. So good. Very happy with our choice of lunch

We showed up on a Saturday around lunchtime. We were met with warm greetings and a review of the menu being our first time here. Very helpful in selecting dishes for the family. Food was quick and perfect. Can’t recommend enough.
