Great selection of gourmet "craft" tacos using unique combination. For example, today's special is spicy seared scallops tacos. Other favorites include Korean BBQ tacos, brisket tacos. Their Mexican tater tots are delicious. The Cuban street corn (on the cob) is awesome. Rotating specials have inclu...

Absolutely LOVE the korean beef tacos and buffalo chicken tacos! Sooo much flavor packed into a simple dish, and made with ingredients that taste fresh and real, they are delicious! Their sides are alright, not on the same level as the tacos, but certainly not bad. Very good chips and queso, and the...

Unique taco recipes including a buffalo chicken with blue cheese crumbles and thinly sliced celery. They also have this thing called a Beerita. Half Margarita half either Dos Equis or Corona, try to only have one. Drink responsibly, my friend.

There is something to be said about a jovial bartender on a cold and miserable day. I stumbled into this establishment a few weeks ago. It was Friday night and I just finished a strenuous week of work I was ready for a few drinks. I found a seat at the bar and was still shivering from the cold when ...

Went on a Wednesday for lunch. The atmosphere was perfect. Great weather, not too loud and I could carry on a conversation with my two friends easily.

I ordered a spicy shrimp taco and it was very tasty.
I then tried the Fish Taco and it was very good. Not over done. Light and crisp.
Finally I...

After really falling in love with tacos, everyone I knew recommended I try the Local Taco. They serve fusion-style tacos here with smaller tortillas and topping combinations that pack a real punch. My first time at the restaurant was incredibly crowded because it is so beloved, but the second time w...

A busy little place during lunch hour, go figure. It's well worth the wait. Considering how busy it was our order came fast. You choose from different featured tacos and enchiladas. Basically $3 each and $3.75 enchiladas. This was my first time eating there and everything was very good. I recomm...

Great food and they get it to you quickly. Friendly staff. But the portions are small, especially for the price that you pay. Cute place and fun to try once or twice, but I would not go regularly just because of the price to portion ratio.

Great food and specials. If you follow them on social media they will post their "taco of the day/week" which tends to be something pretty awesome. They struggle with seating because people will come in and take two hours+ because they decide to drink so just plan accordingly to waiting and findin...

I took a large group of folks here for lunch and it was crowded but we were able to find a place to squeeze together (ideal, really). The ambiance was spot on and the tacos were delicious. The helpings are deceptively filling. I recommend the steak taco. I ll be back to try the more and different co...

Went to Lexington for business, and my coworker toured me around. Nice atmosphere, great food. I got the Korean BBQ taco and the southern fried chicken taco - both were really good. Southern fried chicken was better, the Korean BBQ was a little dry but still good. Also got chips and queso and it was...

This place is wonderful. It has a neat location near campus and they have garage doors in the front on nice days they open. The food is good and always has a special taco. It is a little bit more pricey than most places but worth it for the environment and food.

Have been waiting to finally get to try this place. Was very busy but got food quick. Was top notch. When it came out was thinking wow not much to this. Was I ever wrong. Flavor just blew me away. A must try for anyone in Lexington

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Lexington. It has amazing food and a great college town atmosphere. I love how much seating is available, both inside and outside, and it has a decent amount of parking spots on the street available throughout the day.
