    Great food and staff is very friendly! The price for the amount of food you get is worth it.

    Decent enough Mexican fair. Lower prices, tastes ok, service is good. Shrimp Chimichanga is delicious, chips and salsa are blah. Not a bad place to eat in this small town.

    Try La Favorita for a little lighter option. Great food and service and good drink specials. It's also the only non-chain place open all day it seems. Great place to eat.

    I don't know if they have a different cook, almost all the staff has changed and so has the food. The only half way decent thing they have are the tacos and I can make just as good or better at home. Margarita's are nothing but mixer. Do not want to go back

    Lexington is a small town, so the answer to the age old question, "Where do you want to go for dinner?" is normally fairly easy to answer. Las Carretas is the only Mexican place in down and the food here is pretty yummy. It has pretty standard "Mexican restaurant" fare, but a few stand out (to me). The "Top 5" dishes that I think are really good here are: 1. Gordo Special- Grilled shrimp served with avocado, sour cream, chili peppers, shredded lettuce and Spanish style rice 2. Shrimp Nachos- Grilled shrimp served with roasted peppers and onions, smothered with queso cheese. Served over tortilla chips 3. Chili Relleno- Served with rice or beans, Mexican salad 4. Shrimp Enchilada Verdes- 2 enchilada's covered in a green chili sauce, served with a side salad 4. Any of their fajitas

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
