Apr 12, 2026"Excellent food, Excellent service, and Excellent (open, spacious, and VERY clean) atmosphere! This gem of authentic Mexican food is a must for anyone traveling 1-80 by Lexington, NE! The manager and staff are extremely friendly and just amazing people! My only regret was to not take a picture to share of the food we had to eat!!"

Apr 07, 2026"Been eating there for a few years now, don't always order the same thing. Last ate there 08 feb 2026. Wasnt super hungry so I got 3 tacos al pastor with a side of guacamole. The ladies in the back made my order fresh. Also had two soft drinks, all was under $20. Tacos were small but completely filled and double tortillas. Perfect flavors! Definately recommend!"

Apr 01, 2026"Very family oriented! My coworker and I stopped here during a job fair from the Tyson closure and as soon as we arrived we were greeted like knew the owner for years. The food was amazing. My only complaint was the horchata was too thick but still very tasty. We lost track of time about 2 hrs in. It was a great environment!"

Mar 19, 2026"My husband and I came here a couple of weeks ago while on a road trip from Washington state, we stopped for dinner and it was delicious and such an inviting atmosphere. The family who owns this restaurant are so welcoming and kind. I ended up leaving my purse on the chair by accident, and then only noticed after 3 hours of driving. I messaged the restaurant through facebook right then, even though they had already closed. They responded promptly the next morning and sent my purse to me in the mail! They were life savers and I highly recommend them for not only their kindness, but also delicious food!"
