Yum!! The food was exceptional! We ordered Tacos Al Carbon, it came with rice, beans, and guacamole/sour cream salad on the side. Oh, and topped with cheese sauce. I had #4 combination a Chicken Verde Enchilada, chicken taco, and rice. I ordered a side of beans. They were fresh made! Such good and fresh flavors! A hidden gem in Lexington, NE.

We found this restaurant while looking for a late-night spot that could accommodate our service dog during our trip from Texas to New Mexico, and we’re so glad we did! I ordered the menudo, and it was hands down the best I’ve ever had—absolutely amazing! The rich flavor and perfect texture made it truly stand out, and the addition of bread was a great touch. The service was outstanding, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. A top-notch experience all around! Highly recommend!

First time dining in since the rebranding and we were very impressed. The decor vamp is authentic and classy. Very pleased with the amount of the San Pedro vibe that remains. Food was phenomenal. Location inside and out was very clean. We were immediately welcomed in by Brook. She was charming and fun. She has a great pace in between tables, which made the wait time feel non-existent. great place to go.

I can honestly say this is some of the BEST Mexican food I've ever had. I am from San Antonio TX, and the food today outdoes anything I have tasted in San Antonio. The salsa stands alone in taste. Flavorful and just the right amount of twang. I will be back on the next pass through Lexington NE
