La Marquesa

I’ve finally found a great Mexican restaurant in Lexington. I had a combo plate with a very good taco and relleno, but what was simply excellent was the beef enchilada topped with some of the best red sauce I’ve ever had. I recently moved here from Texas, so I know what good Mexican food is and I’ve finally found my go-​to place! Very friendly service and a huge menu.

When they say Authentic that is what they mean.
Very robust flavorful food.
You can taste the love in every dish.
Love it.

You really should come check out this family run place you will not regret it.

Wonderful food and service. My wife and I was pleasantly surprised. Not just another authentic Mexican restaurant. IT’S BETTER than the rest.

Good authentic food with an acceptable prep time. Good portions and hot made to order.

The food here is fantastic. I get the enchiladas rancheras which has the most tender pork. I highly recommend this place and would say it’s the best Mexican in Lexington.

Tucked away next to Survivors Karaōke. This place has a lot on their menu and the owners are incredibly nice and friendly. The first time I went I got the enchiladas which were just OK. I went back again last night and tried their mole poblano which was excellent! Their homemade mole sauce has just the perfect balance of flavor. It came with beans, rice, and tortillas and I could barely move after finishing it all for only $ 10. I also had a Tecate, which was pretty steep though at $ 4 for a bottle. If you are in the mood for Mexican and haven’t checked out this place yet then you should definitely give it a try.

How many times I’ve passed La Marquesa while cutting down Reynolds to Nicholasville Rd., glanced at it and never gave it a thought. Craving tacos today, and not wanting to drive downtown to Maria’s, I ventured into this eatery. I ordered three tacos — lengua, chorizo and al pastor. They were absolutely tacorrific! If there hadn’t been two tacos under the very generous portions of meat, I wouldn’t have been able to hold them together. Chopped onions, cilantro on top, and a squeeze of lime. The green tomatillo/​jalapeño and the red habanero sauces were very good, and the heat, to my delight, snuck up on me, then POW. The chips were only vehicles for the sauces. Marco, is an amiable guy who is clearly proud of his homemade food. While the restaurant is a bit kitschy, the tacos are 5-​Star.

This place is really good and a cool car parked out front. Plus, it is way better than Mi Pequena Hacienda.

This Mexican place is really good. It’s never packed with too many people and the owners are one of the best people. We got tacos, chicken soup and a California burrito. Tacos are ok taste. Soup is alright. But the burrito! Is awesome. Pulled pork with perfect smoky taste with melted cheese on top. The bread is soft and fabulous. Definitely recommended.

I’m obsessed with the lengua tacos. They are very authentic and come double wrapped in your choice of either corn or flour tortillas. They are more expensive than other places ($ 3), but that’s because they are huge — double the size of a normal taco truck taco. The meat is so tender and good!

It was our first time there. We met the owner and she was SUPER NICE. I was also impressed with the food and atmosphere. Far exceeded my expectations. We’ll definitely be back!

Service is outstanding, food comes quickly and is a delight to the senses! We are repeat customers and are never disappointed.

Authentic tacos, friendly service. May be our new favorite Mexican restaurant in town.

I wasn’t too impressed. Service was slow. I got the nachos and they were just ok, nothing to write home about.

Very neat place with great customer service. The chips & salsa is delivered to you once you sit down and trust me they have great salsa and my chips were warm.
Health department rated them with a 100 and that is always a good thing.
Lunch menu is until 3 pm
I had the Mexican tacos carna asada and my steak was a little chewy and dry but had a good flavor. The corn tortillas is larger then most places.
Overall I would definitely eat here again

Loved it… before. Ate here dozens of times but last Friday left me sicker than a dog. Ate the taco that came with my wife’s combo dinner and also had a bowl of tortilla soup. By 2am, woke up with chills and barely made it to bathroom before I began a 30 minute yack-​a-​thon. Took most of next day, and lots of soft food, before back to near normal.

During my Mom’s visit, we came here for dinner on a Friday night. It wasnt busy at all, just like before. This time we had the house margaritas 2 for 1. Well worth it, they are big and tasty, oh and only $ 4.50. Deal! The salsa was as good as I remembered from before, the food was even better, and they DO have black beans. Our server was very friendly and fun. This has to be my favorite Mexican joint.

Coming from California, I was always a fan of Mexican food. The first time I had been there I got a burrito and the portions were quite good for the price. Second time around I went for the nachos and again I was stuffed. The reason for a high rate of four stars is mostly because I thought the portions were very good for the price.
Atmosphere looks very casual and immature with Mexican decorations; but I still like it just the same.

Very friendly service with a smile! They are great. The menudo is pretty damn good too. Everything comes out in good portions and on time. And if you request ridiculous amounts of extra chilies and limes, etc. They don’t complain. Very colorful and kinda over the top with the décor but whatever. Parking is never an issue either. Big booths and a back room if u want privacy.

Great honest food.
Still as good as when it was a grocery store.
Try the fish tacos.
