Desperados Cantina is a true gem in Lexington! 🌟 The atmosphere is lively and trendy, perfect for a casual night out or a fun brunch.

I tried the guava frozen margarita - refreshing without being too sweet - and sampled a variety of tacos: the al pastor was a standout! The elote transported me straight to the streets of Mexico. 🌽

Only minor note: the tortillas could be a bit warmer. Overall, the service was fantastic, and I can’t wait to return for happy hour or to dive into their brunch menu! 🍹🍴.
