“Great place for summer fun! They offer great entertainment and the food is fantastic and who doesn’t love looking at the water! Staff is incredibly helpful for large group events!”

“The owner is super friendly. The food tastes home made not from a freezer and delicious. The portions are huge making me wonder how they make a profit from the low prices.”

“Strong without bitterness. 20oz hot latte with regular sugar and 20oz white chocolate mocha. Loved that they added whipped cream and a chocolate covered coffee bean to the latte. Easy access from interstate!”

“I love going to the Farmers Cafe for breakfast! Manny does a great job and the food is delicious. When he starts singing in the kitchen the place loves it!”

“Our first time in Nebraska and Mac’s spoiled us with great local wine, delicious appetizers and a peaceful vineyard to walk and learn about their winery from information boards around the vineyard. It was a breeze to check in at the tasting room upon arrival. We stayed in one of the 3 cozy cottages and slept great. Each cottage has an A/C unit, bathroom, coffee maker and thoughtful gifts left inside for visitors. We took advantage of the wine tasting when we arrived and ordered 3 delicious appetizers that served as our dinner. If you enjoy root beer I would suggest that as one of your options to taste, we really enjoyed it and bought a 6 pack to take on the road as well as a bottle of wine. The breakfast was absolutely a gourmet surprise delivered by Mac, so don’t leave early and miss a delightful breakfast to complete memorable stay. Thanks for the memories Mac!!”

There is an exceptional menu; the servers are there to personalize your meal if you don't want onions or want more vegetables. There's plenty of parking for cars and trucks and RVs. We enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and very authentic food like never before.”

“We drove out to Lexington for an install, spotted this joint so we stopped in for a bite. We both got tacos el pastor and holy smokes! The best ive ever had. The atmosphere is intriguing and fun to look at. The glass in the windows is so clean it looks like there isnt glass! The bathrooms were clean and had no bad odor aswell! Plenty of menu options, the cook even came out to ask topping preferences which was very considerate! I highly reccomend this place to everyone.”

“Tasty, made right in front of us, authentic salvadorean food. Struck up conversation with the folks waiting with us and had a great time. Very filling, we could've ordered half as much as we did and been well off. We ordered 5 pupusas to share but finished 3 and were full. Delicious!”

“110% Recommended!!! I’m a hotshot always on the road and it’s hard to find a restaurant with good Mexican food. If you’re looking for good authentic Mexican food El Sazon Taquizas is the place. Food, service, atmosphere, drinks, prices, everting is amazing. Next time you’re in Lexington Nebraska, make sure you stop to eat here. You will not be disappointed.”

“It isn't what it used to be but it is still nice to have in town for something different. They have other options if you don't want a Runza too. Kids like the food. Frings are always fun. The service is a bit slow at times.”

“First time knowing that pupusas existed. Goodbye quesadillas, hello pupusas! My husband and I stopped on our way from Kearney to N. Platte and wow, was that a great idea. I had the chicken, frijoles and cheese pupusas and he had zucchini, bean and cheese. We were both very happy. I will seek out El Salvadoran food anywhere I go now!”
