“Excellent and legit mexican food. I'm mexican and grew up in Mexico, so I can tell the difference between "Americanized Mexican restaurants" and actual mexican restaurants. Don't be fool by the looks of this place. It's not fancy, but it sure is the best food I've had since I came to the US.“

La Costeñita Tacos King Mexican • $

“Decided to stop here instead of the usual burrito places. I'm glad I did. Food was made to order, took less than 10 minutes to get my meal. Came out hot off the grill, generous burrito, fresh ingredients, good ratio of meat, cilantro, onion, rice, and cheese. Served with 2 sauces to experiment with. Will definitely be stopping here again. There is no seating, but you can put a blanket in the grass. Or take away.“

Tacos El Lobo Mexican • $

“Stopped by Tacos El Lobo in Lexington today and tried the chicken gordita and tacos de birria—both were legit. The gordita was packed with flavor and had a great texture, and the birria tacos were rich and tender with just the right amount of kick. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area and looking for something solid and authentic.“

“A bit of a mixed bag. First of all, they do not serve beer or margaritas or wine! It is a dry restaurant!

Also, it felt a bit brightly lit to dine in. Coupled with no beer and wine, this makes it a takeout place in my eyes.
With the idea of a takeout place in mind, this becomes a different review entirely. Because they have a drive-through window!

So if this was a sit-down place I would rate it at three, due to no beer and wine and being too brightly lit. But since this is a takeout place and it has a drive-through window, my rating will be a four.

Let’s talk about the food.
It seems the thing to get here are the burritos. The tacos didn’t have much going on. They were just blah. Not a lot of the toppings, maybe some tomatoes and onions. Plus, when I ordered it with a rice and beans (and they put it in the same container) the tacos disintegrated having touched the rice and beans. (Series photo).
But the burritos looked huge, and my husband and son said they tasted very good. I’ve included the burritos with a picture of my hand so you can get a sense of scale.
Bottom line: we live somewhat nearby, and this will be our takeout place for burritos, with the understanding that we can call in and just pick it up in the drive-through. But I would not order the tacos again, nor would I go for a dine-in experience with a brightly lit Dining room and no beer and wine.

Parking: Parking is easy and there is a big lot.

Kid-friendliness: Seems totally fine for kids!“

“Order from the menu price tonight but charged more when received our bill. I was told the new menu with price increase had not been put out yet. After discussing this with management, I was charged .50 cents more than the new menu price was suppose to be. Management seemed to not care that I had been over charged at all. Once was a great place but, I am done with this type of customer service!!“
