Wonderful place for brunch or dinner. The drinks and specials were really good. The service is good but the place is a bit too crowded and makes it hard to talk unless you get drunk :

I always try to come here at least once whenever I'm in Lexington. The food is just so fresh and the flavors so good that one wants to keep returning. The fish tacos I've had here were stellar (I don't know if they are always on the menu) and they make some delicious Margaritas.

The real deal in scratch made Latin dishes. Great tequila and mezcal selection, we love the Slushy Prickly Pear Margarita! Best tamale in Lexington.

Food was okay. Nothing wow though. Does have a good vibe might be going back again just for a drink. Maybe....

This was a fantastic experience for my first time! Everything was so flavorful and great quality. We put our name on the list, then went to the neighboring place. Our table was ready in 20minutes for 4 ppl. You are pretty closely packed with tables when its full of people. There is also a long bar in the building. The margaritas were strong and tasty. The salsa trio was so so good!! I actually liked all 3 salsas which sometimes doesn't happen. They bring you little baggies with the chips and I loved that style of chips. Cheese dip was also delish. We got tacos and didn't realize how spicy they would be. I like spice but my friend did not. We were stuffed to the brim.The bathroom was a single door/room for female and single one for males. Please fix the door or door handle to the female restroom as it doesn't really make you feel secure.

We really loved this place. We were in town on a post-football-game Saturday for a concert and wanted a nice, intimate place to get dinner. This place hit all the marks. We got all sorts of food. Our heavy favorites were the queso blanco, anticuchos, shrimp ceviche, and shrimp tacos. We also got a couple kinds of empanadas that were glad we tried but we don't know that we'd get them again. All the flavors were so fun and bright and exactly what we were looking for. We sat at the bar, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was cozy but hustle bustle so it made for a really nice experience. Can't wait to be back!

Great environment and service but for me as a Latina, the food left a lot to be desired - lacked flavor.
