“ This is the best Mexican I have eaten in Lexington so far... The steak and chicken fajitas are great and good size portions. Cheese dip is also great. ”
“ Great food, service was excellent. Wanda liked the tropical margarita! ”
“ This place is a hidden gem that I highly recommend trying. Unless you live in the Chinoe area of Lexington, you have probably never even heard of El Azteca Mexican Grill, but trust me it is well worth trying out. This restaurant is stunningly beautiful and exceptionally clean (check out the pictures that I posted with this review). The family that runs it is friendly and you can tell that they take pride in their business. I ordered the chicken fajitas and they were delicious. My son had a chicken burrito meal covered in their cheese dip and he loved it. The owner stopped by twice and checked on us and our server never let our drinks run out. Take a turn off the beaten path and try one of Lexington’s best Mexican restaurants. I’ll definitely be coming back soon. ”
“ This was our first visit to El Azteca. We had guacamole with our chips. It was chunky and delicious. My husband had the Burrito California. He loved it, full of steak and vegetables with no rice. He hates rice as a filler in burritos. I had Chile Colorado. The menu said spicy chunks of pork. It was so flavorful and delicious but dear Lord, the spicy I could only eat 3 pieces and I paid dearly for 2 days. We also tried a Cheese Enchilada with both available sauces. Outstanding enchilada! We will definitely be back once my digestive system has recovered from the heat... ”
“ Relatively new restaurant, very good service, servers were all very amicable and happy. They seemed to like where they were working. The food was delicious and the presentation was very good. The bathrooms were clean and the ambiance was very pleasant. I love the decor and details around the restaurant. The area is spacious and you don't feel like you are eating with the table next to you. There is a lot of parking spaces, free to park and the area is very comfortable and safe. ”
“ UPDATE 5/12/23. try the Queso Flaming..... You will not regret it! Delicious! Friendly service, delicious food! Especially the guacamole! Margarita was yummy also. Can't wait to come back and try something else! ”
“ The food and service were great tonight! The atmosphere is airy and upbeat. ”
“ We had a lovely lunch on a Tuesday at 2:00 pm. The chili rellenos were perfect! The wait staff are friendly and food came rapidly. Great margaritas! ”
