The restaurant is very quaint and cozy, very relaxing. Nut the food is incredible, I cant understand why l never stopped by as l driving by! I've really found a hidden gem in Lexington! I highly recommend eating here!

Love!!! It's a hidden gem in Lexington! The tamales & ceviche are the best!!!! The staff are super friendly!!!!👍🏻
Best mexican I've had outside of Mexico. Truly " The Best Tamale in Town"! Fresh made tortilla's, salsa, guaq.... YUM! You won't be dissapointed! Cute handmade pottery and all things Mexican too!
Just a bunch of awesomeness period.
The shrimp ceviche is great...tamales are fresh and not dry like you find in most places.
Get you some!!!!
By far the best the best tamales I've had. Including some I had in Mexico. Great service too.
These have got to be the best tamales in Lexington. OMG they are soooo good. We ordered some and they were excellent. Then we ordered some to go to eat for lunch tomorrow while we're out and about.
Best tamales in Lex!! The staff is so friendly, food is awesome, always cooked fresh and served hot.
Excellent food & atmosphere. So glad I found this place, and will be back frequently.
It was a gem. Awesome food and great service. The only authentic Mexican Restaurant I have had in Lexington. Others are good but they have been americanized.
Love this place!! I taste of home! I adore the woman that runs this place.... shes a doll!! And her homemade food 🤗🤗 DELICIOUS!!
Great tamales and fresh, delicious guacamole (and I usually don’t really like guacamole)
Lo más delicioso y mega limpio!!! Gracias por hacerlo con tanta pasion nos encanta ������
Holy tamales! This place is absolutely fantastic! I've worked right across the street forever and discovered it last week. These guys are phenomenal!
They have the best guacamole! We go here often and get a little bit of everything!
CHECK THIS PLACE OUT. The food is to die for. They also have a fridge where you can take your favorites home!
We had the beef tacos, cheese and jalapeno, pork and beef tamales. Everything was awesome!! The tamales were the best part in my opinion, I bought 10 frozen jalapeno and cheese tamales to bring home. When ordering make sure to get the cheese on the tamales, they pile it on!!!
Fantastic service, fantastic food, sweet people. This place is a gem. Best tamales in the city.
We had Tomales, Tacos, Rice. All were very good, and so were the sauces.
The staff was very friendly, you can tell the owner takes great pride in her food.
Also, the decor is truly a unique sight to see in Lex.
On our drive from Ohio to Tennessee, I found this #3 highest ranking restaurant on Yelp. We were not dissappointed.
The parking is the only confusing thing. But the staff and the food was great.
The restaurant/store outside is brightly colored, but the inside is a giant splash of color. Found out from the son-in-law, that his mother-in-law makes the food and the pinatas in the store!!!! What??? Not only is her food amazing, full over great Mexican flavors, but she handmakes the pinatas too? What a talented lady.
Anyway, we had tamales: pork, chicken, and jalapeno cheese covered the verde sauce and cheese. Yummmmm. Carnitas torta and black beans. Also had to try the homemade corn tortillas. They were out, light and a little crunch on top.
This is a place I would come to over and over again. This has to be a best kept secret in Lexington.
Really quick and easy tamale lunch -- I got the beef and pork, and my husband said the chicken one was amazing. Next time we'll bring some home to freeze. Can't wait to try more of the menu!
Great little hole-in-the-wall spot. Excellent tamales, refried beans, and guacamole. I would be interested in trying other items on their menu. The jalapeño and bean tamale was rather exceptional.
The people that run the place are very friendly. The service is also quick. The inside magical...so many colors and piñatas abound. Parking is a bit more precarious than most would like, but don’t let that deter you.
Small home like vibe. I really enjoyed the cashier guy .he said he had been there for 6 years. he was very polite and helpful. I really enjoyed the food truly the best Tamales ive had in awhile. I had both the beef and pork tamales. Recommend the pork to any meet lover ❤️
