I came to eat here the other day with my bf and baby and to start off the waitress's would come by and touch my baby's face like who does that! The only good thing we're the drinks, and the drinks only. The food was trash, my bf ordered shrimp empanadas and they were the size of my finger lol and like I ordered a coctel con chile crudo picado and they put Chile toreado inside, couldn't even tell the waitress cuz she was nowhere to be found, by the time she did come around Id already rated some and didn't bother to complain. the waitress tried putting extra food we hadn't ordered on the tab and when she brought us the receipt she told us the total and just stood there and after an awkward stair we asked for the receipt. She handed it and that's when we seen the extra food she'd added, the tip (15%) was added as well. We only pointed out the extra food (she took it out and brought us a new receipt), we payed & it took her about 10 mins to bring us our change back (it was only a $1 and change but it's the principle) we asked for our receipt back as well and she brought us a clearly trash dugged out one lol (it was crumbled and had trash still on it) we just laughed and left.

Food was horrible, margarita was nasty-not sure what it even was, then switch margarita for a Paloma which was even worst. The music was too loud and we were the only ones in the restaurant to just be waiting around for the waitress. The owner was rude when we told him the empanadas were rotten tasting and said he’s not adjusting the bill. DO NOT RECOMMEND

I’m just not impressed by this restaurant, honestly I expect a little more considering the pricing. The service isn’t great either.I’d choose another place, I’ve been here several times before, an it just isn’t anything but low average.

The service was great. The food was mostly good, but, I have to say the filling for the chicken chimichanga tasted disconcertingly like hibachi chicken. Not what I was expecting.

First time here and it was excellent. Not your traditional taco, burrito, chimichanga joint. Their seafood dishes are legit and tasty. I have no clue what we ordered, just pointed to the picture. It came out hot and looked better than it did on the menu. Juan was our waiter and he was fabulous!Only note is you are going to want to bring some wet wipes with you because it is a little messy eating with your hands. They also add gratuity to the bill, which is fine by me.

This place is great! The guacamole tasted super fresh. Queso was better than the average cheese dip you get at other Mexican restaurants. I ordered the enchiladas suizas with chicken and they did not disappoint. They do karaoke nights and had cute little rose vases at the tables for Valentines Day. Would recommend!

This place was really great!! It's Christmas Eve, and we came in for a bite to eat. The servings were huge and the taste was very good. I will return whenever I come to this area.

Shrimp soup was delicious. Not expected this taste. Nice server. She let me know the main dishes and she got me a sample of the shrimp soup. Great service

Robert Ashmore

Good food, clean. Server was distracted and not easy to find or rating would have been higher.

Name means The Boardwalk ( or The Pier )We arrived shortly before 12pm to grab some lunch before catching our bus home. Beautifully decorated, strong beach vibes( LOVE the beach.)Our server quickly seated us. Our food arrived quickly after our server took our orders. We had Taco salads ( my friend also had a steak street taco. ) Good variety of choices on the menu from which to choose ( Some items were pricey - understandable because they contained seafood.) Good variety of drinks ( I don't hardly drink anymore due to allergies). Overall enjoyable meal & fun atmosphere.

Food was great but cashier kept my change and receipt when asked for the change because it was someone else order he still didn't give me all of the change! Shorted me! I understand times are hard and inflation is through the roof but never cheat the customer out their money! Would go back if they get a calculator and someone who could count!

That area of town can be very hit or miss crime-wise, but this was absolutely one of my favorite Mexican food places that I've tried in Lexington.
