La Taquiza Taqueria Centro

Still one of my favorite Mexican Restaurants. Meatless Friday, so I had the Beer Battered Fish Tacos, hot and crispy. 3 in an order. They had Mexican Slaw, Avocado Cream, Pineapple Habanero, Pico de Gallo and Red Onion. A squeeze of lime, and you're good to go. So good.

Went back 4/22/24 for dinner-food was still very good.

Service really needs to improve. Server was not over worked, just slow, non communicative and forgot several items, several times.

They were waiting on a table of 4, all of who have worked in food services for at least 2 years each, so we were patient, but management needs to work on the front end...it will cost them customers and business.

The food here is excellent!!

We started out with some chips and guacamole- the portion was plenty for our group of 5. I also noticed there is a "salsa bar" that I'd like to try next time!

For an entree I ordered a veggie taco and the huitlacoche taco- they were bigger sized street tacos and packed with fillings.

I saw a few reviews mentioning bad service - that was not our experience here- our server was very attentive and checked in on our group frequently.

The parking situation is not great- mostly street parking which can make it difficult to find a space during the busier times.

What DIDN'T go wrong? Our server was rude, walking away mid-sentence when I inquired about when we could expect our missing basket of chips, 15 minutes after all the others arrived; you have to pay for your chips, FYI. Not uncommon these days, but worth noting in context. One of our friends got her tacos - TACOS! - 45 minutes after the rest of us received our food, mostly also tacos. Another friend canceled her strawberry daiquiri after waiting an hour. The rest of our drinks were dry for the last hour we were there, no refills or fresh drinks were offered. The cocktails menu is outdated (BOGO margs no longer offered on Mondays and Fridays) and the whole "post and tag a picture and get your margarita free" is a total scam; they tell you AFTER the fact (as you're paying the tab) that you can redeem a mini lime margarita, right then. Ok, can I get it to go?!

Let's see, what else? Oh, roughly 20-25 minutes for sour cream. Did I mention the place was half full? So they can't blame a packed house! The real crux is: The food is good, like really good. Well, not the chips, but everything else, including the salsa bar, super good. But the service was so abominable I don't feel the need to EVER spend money there again. A real shame. Did I mention they HOVER over you while you check out? That makes not wanting to tip a terrible server very awkward. Smart play by them, but no less infuriating.

And what's worse? No one cares. This review won't get responded to and subpar service will be allowed to continue. So buyers beware!

Everything I've had here is good. Their homemade salsas and beans are outstanding. Street tacos, birrillas, queso burritos...all good.

One of the most amazing places for brunch . The food is authentic and delicious. The Sopa Bennys and chilaquiles are simply to die for. Best kept secret in Lexington.

Amazing food, service and friendly staff that served gracious portions to our guests, menu suggested was perfect for our event and our guests love all the delicious food, especially the Cochinita Pibil. Thank you for our delightful evening.

Went with a group; had excellent, friendly service. Food was authentic Mexican; several pages of choices of drinks and food both. Had live music that really fit the scene. Salsa bar has about 5 different choices. Even has good choices for vegetarians. We were all happy.

A few kinks to still be worked out at this location but overall excellent. Bright, welcoming space. Fish tacos and shrimp tacos were excellent - crispy, colorful presentation. All very fresh. Great options on the salsa bar. A little pricey for a few items but what isn't right now? Extensive menu. Will definitely be back!

Been wanting to try this place out for sometime. And now I'm mad at myself for not going sooner. We got chips and salsa,I ordered the Tijuana burrito with asada polo. The chips came out they give them to you in a full tortilla, they were good & you get your salsa at the salsa
Bar. My Burrito was prob the best one I've ever had! Can't say enough about it
My wife got the Quesabirrias they were
Excellent as well we will definitely be back
