Papi's Mexican Restaurant and Bar

"Unbelievably great food! My wife and I easily have not had Mexican food this good since we left Austin Texas back 2016. I can only speak for the chicken fajitas but holy hell they blew my mind. Absolutely perfect flavor. They came out sizzling like they were cooked by flavor dragon in the back kitchen. I always get fajitas if it’s my first time eating at a Mexican place because it’s typically on every menu. So if they are as good as they were then I’m certain the rest of the menu is amazing. As a gluten free feather gut I have not had churros in 15 years. They have gluten free churros that absolutely blew my mind. Amazing experience at this place. The wait staff are great. Very attentive and easy to work with. Tip them well. The only drawback is this exact restaurant isn’t in our home town back in Iowa. It’s worth making the pilgrimage here without a doubt. Come support these amazing people."

"Don’t waste your time!! Absolutely terrible with customer service! Have cancelled my order 3 times and food is just ok. Spend your money somewhere else. Do not recommend even if you are gluten free better options for Mexican other than this so called restaurant!"

"This is one of my FAVORITE local restaurants. I kid you not, I’m here at least once a week. This is the most welcoming restaurant in town. Marcos and the whole staff make you feel like family from the second you walk in. The food is good, the portions are huge (the large bowl of soup is literally bigger than my head), and the margs are STRONG. I wish I could give this place more than five stars because they really deserve it. And while you can’t find it on the menu, make sure to ask for the churros. They’re the best!"

"We came here on a Saturday for lunch. First it was frightening, we were the only people in the dining area, ONLY people! But we stayed. Chips and salsa and queso pretty basic but salsa was fresh and chips were hot so we were happy. We got the quesadilla, and the fajita tacos plate which luckily came unassembled just as fajita anything should! Quesadilla person was disappointed in the size of the quesadilla but said it tasted pretty good. The fajitas were also good, pretty basic, Americanized Mexican food, no different than every other place in town. The steak was a little dry and and salty but it was good. My only complaint was the vegetables were sparse and tasted so much like the meat you couldn’t tell so that cheapened it a bit. All in al it was okay. I’d eat here again because the service was great and the have a happy hour on margaritas during the week."

"I'm going to give it another shot, because there were some errors with my order. I did end up getting the cauliflower street tacos, those were quite delicious. Also it's really awesome that they have Best Vice Ever vegan ice cream. I got the hot chocolate flavor ice cream, it's so good. The food is amazing, but I'm yet to actually get what I order the first time I order it. If you don't have food restrictions this is THE PLACE to get Mexican in Lexington. If you do, it's still the best choice but check your food closely."
