We’ve been regulars for the last year. Great service. Attentive staff. Food is impeccable. Best margaritas in town.

Super spot. Bartender, Carson, made great smoky spicy margaritas and had tremendous suggestions. Pork belly special and pork taco with beer braised beans were great. I thought the blue corn empanadas were just okay and would pass on those next time. Worth a visit.

OK Mexican joint. Much better around Lexington if you know where to look. Cocktails are small and overpriced. The complementary chips made it worth the trip, but even the meals we ordered were fairly small for the price.

It was really good food. Had the shrimp tacos. Others at our table had the smothered fries. Both were good.

Corto Lima offers great hospitality and lovely drinks/food. Their A/C was down inside and it was hot as heck but everyone on their staff is doing a wonderful job in a tough situation. Will be back again/thanks ?

A fine place and that’s about it. I loved it when I went back in 2017 but it’s been 7 years and things change. Some vegetarian options. Honest review is it’s just not worth the price for what you get. I got chicken tacos with rice and beans on the side and the sides were completely cold. Not worth the cost per plate when you can get better versions of this elsewhere.
