“I highly recommend que taco, they are amazing. The staff is amazing, food is out of this world, and if I lived in Lexington I'd go broke because they'd get all my money because I'd eat there every single day. That is how good they are. Today we got our usual. I got my Quesabirria Tacos with consome broth and my boyfriend got the chicken burrito, then we got something new we never had which was the chips and choriqueso and it was absolutely amazing. I absolutely highly recommend getting that. The last time I posted a Google review which was a month ago one picture alone I posted got 33, 390 views on it so far which is so crazy to me. This place is absolutely amazing and I will not stop with the reviews on how great the food is and how amazing the staff is and how friendly they are. They even bring out your food to you when you order and go to your car. Like how amazing is that.“

“OMG!!! This truck needs a brick and mortar BAD!! We knew it was going to be good because the parking lot was over run. We had to park about a block away on the side of the street and walk to the truck. They had a few tables for sitting, and a couple of ladies that were providing full service. We ordered our tacos (carne asada and birria) and was told it would be about 15 minutes. It was more like 25 but with the amount of people there, I wasn't surprised. When we got home and dug in I swear I went to heaven! This was the best birria I've ever had! The tacos were huge! Loaded with beef! The broth was so robust and hot. I'm getting hungry thinking about it now. It was truly delicious“

I walked in at about 8:45 and I was the only customer but I think that's just because it was late. It's a big clean restaurant, bathrooms are clean. It feels like a nice family owned joint. I ordered Birria Tacos and a carne asada Burrito with fries, I also got a Horchata. The food was very good especially the tacos. Very good meat and very cheap also. They also brought out chips and salsa which is always a plus at Mexican restaurants. $30 dollars for all the food“
