Overall, it was excellent. The drinks, which is not what I expected, were the stars kf the show. The presentation of the food was fantastic. The food has a cost but the portions are large. I think they cut down on the spices to accommodate a larger audience. We just asked for some spices and kicked the flavor up to excellent. Will definitely come back when I come back for conference again.

This is a very nice place for large groups to meet. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Large menu choices. Good place to meet for drinks. It’s a fancier version of the other locations. I really wanted to build a bowl but server wasn’t aware if that was an option. So I prefer the drive-in location on South Broadway. It’s more of a low key vibe.

First was the cheese dip that was barely warm. We had to ask the server, when she finally came back, to warm it up. Second was the food. Fajitas were $17 and had approximately 12 small strips of chicken. The only highlight was the beans were delicious. My wife had tacos that tasted as though the main ingredient was cinnamon..awful. We also had a child’s steak burrito and fries. Fingers were barely warm and the fries were cold and soggy. Finally the meal was over and it was time to pay. I asked for the paper receipt only to discover the “large” margarita was $24 dollars. It barely had any tequila in it! Are you kidding me? Also a Michelob Ultra was $9 that had a weird taste.
Needless to say we will not ever go back.
There are too many good Mexican restaurants in the area that are worth your time.

Great atmosphere and delicious food. The service was fast, and the staff was friendly. I highly recommend the street tacos—they’re flavorful. Don’t miss the fried ice cream for dessert—it’s a must-try!

No place better than Papi’s Palomar! Great Food, Service and Atmosphere every trip. The patio is delightful with ample seating and entertainment throughout the week. Highly recommend the Chicken Fajitas paired with a Frozen beverage.

Interesting experience to say the least.
Our server was stretched thin running tables all over the restaurant, inside and out. We saw him at the beginning and that was it. He was way to busy for us. We waved the bar tender down. We had a short laundry list of things we needed. She caught a attitude. I explained, we hadn’t seen our sever hes to busy running in and out. Manager came by and asked how things was. We explained the frustrations with him. He was very understanding. He spoke w the bar tender she came back by being very nice. Server never came back till it was time for the check. I ordered a steak and asked the server about A1 sauce he said he eas 80% sure he had it if not it was a different kind. I never got any however the steak was super tender and tasted fantastic! My cheese enchilada that came with it was disgusting to be honest. Raw corn tortilla hardly heated hard to cut. No count. Beans and rice fantastic. My roomates 2 tamales meal she was was very good. However they were cold in the center and she was hungry and didnt wanna send them back. Kids seemed to enjoy their meals. Guacamole was fresh and great. Salsa had zero flavor. No hot sauce con table to kick it up. Mr Pibb flat. Manager was super nice. Gave us a discount.

Came in during the rush and sat at the bar, the bartender, Alex, was very courteous and delivered prompt service as well. I ordered the Pescado a la Veracuzano which is a lightly breaded white fish smothered in peppers and onions with a tomato based sauce. I was told that it usually comes with rice and a salad, but subbed out the salad for the refried black beans and they were amazing. I ordered a Papi’s Margarita to drink and it was very good and I could definitely taste the extra liquor in it, probably the best deal on the drink menu.

I ordered to go and didn’t get silverware, when I asked she said most people take the food home.I ordered a burrito as well smothered and it wasn’t when I took it back they gave me a cup of queso. I asked for another salsa and she said they dont do that. But this was the order sigh it’s a no for me. I’m surprisingly disappointed!

I fell for the many 5 star reviews. I think this place is overrated. It’s clean and bright, but the food is borderline bad.
This is Midwest Mexican. Big portions, no flavor.

Our food was delicious! I had the chicken fajitas and my son had a chicken burrito. The restaurant was spotless and the service was fast, and friendly. Their Queso Cheese dip was some of the best that I have had in Lexington. We will definitely be back soon.
