“Our family was in Lexington and looking for a new dining experience. Our server Amanda was awesome, seriously! She offered me the house hot sauce and cheerfully explained the ingredients. For me, it provided the next level of flavor.”
“Stopped by for a quick bite — the tamales were outstanding! I don’t typically expect a lot from a side salad but this one had a really good dressing. The vibe of the place and the service were pretty cool as well.”
“I got pisco sour and anticucho. I'm Peruvian so I know those very very well and this place was amazing! My food was so delicious! And my drink just perfect. If I would live in Lexington, I would go this place constantly. 10 of 10.”
