Hello I visited your restaurant on 08/13/2025 and ordered a frozen margarita. I took a lick of my sugar rim when my tongue felt like a mosquito bite , Luckily i didn’t bleed. However I had already finished the drink before I noticed that the glass was cracked. This raises a serious concern that I may have swallowed small glass fragments without realizing it. While I have not yet developed symptoms, I am monitoring for any issues and may seek medical attention. If medical evaluation becomes necessary, I will provide documentation and may request reimbursement for any related expenses. I spoke to the waitress who seemed bothered that i mentioned it. I paid our bill and left. This needs to be addressed to prevent potential harm to other guests. Please let me know how you plan to handle this situation and ensure that drink-ware is safe for future customers.

*Atmosphere was great. *Very clean restaurant. *Super friendly staff. *Chips and salsa were delicious. *Some of the best tasting refined beans I’ve had and loved the veggies in the rice. *Price and portion sizes were good. *There is limited parking so if it’s busy, I could imagine there being an issue finding a parking space. -Only downside was the temperature of the food. Our rice and chicken chimichanga were hot but the beans, chicken fajita and cheese dip enchilada were warm at best. The flavors were there but wished the temperature of the food was better (which is the only reason for the dropped star). *Still very much worth a visit if you’re looking for some really good Mexican food and friendly staff.

Food is always incredible! The best Mexican restaurant in Lexington. A great experience for lunch dates, family meals or even a date night. Had the pleasure of Lalo serving us and he was more than a gentleman. Fast service, and hot food! Will always recommend to my family and friends for a memorable meal.

Staffs were very friendly. The atmosphere was nice as well. I was in this restaurant once before my last visit. In the second time the quality was a little bit below than I expected. The veggies with fajitas were uncooked to me. It seemed rushing preparing them.

Found this warm and inviting restaurant while in Frankfort for a appointment. Tacos always call my name, but as soon as I saw Calamari on the menu, somehow my car tires stopped right in front of the doors! A wise choice and a HUGE menu to choose from. The horchata is fantastic as well as food and the service. Highly recommend!

Me and my boyfriend’s family went expecting what the reviews said, “best fajitas ever”. Wrong. It was mediocre, bland, no real flavor. The salsa was the best part of the meal and it costs money to refill it. We also ordered some drinks: a piña colada and a strawberry daiquiri. The piña colada was definitely made with rum lol. The strawberry daiquiri tasted delicious, but I’m not convinced there was alcohol in it. With four people, three alcoholic drinks, and a lemonade. We paid 90+
