Reviews of Corto Lima (Restaurant)

Marc Levy

It was a short walk from the Hyatt. Glad we went. Service was excellent and accommodating. Food was excellent. Menu divided between small plates salads and entrees. Our table of 6 shared freshly made Chips and several types of dips and Salsa and several small plates. Price was reasonable. Had a great time. We will be back.

Lydia Moore

Hands down, best restaurant in Lexington! Do yourself a favor and go!!!

Lauren Schwartzenberger

Love this place, will always visit when in Lexington!

Brandon Muncy

Had our rehersal dinner here and it was great! Their house Margaritas are amazing and super strong! The food was all very good. Definitely plan to go back again.

Chuck Burton

Service was great. Breakfast burrito was steller!

navyflibertyjibet

Love this place. We had a rehearsal dinner here and the lady who organizes events for Corto Lima (Brie) is super helpful and very responsive to emails. We got so many compliments on the food here! The shrimp ceviche and the prickly pear margarita stole the show!

Charles Ikner

Solid place! Really good cocktails and good brunch as well.

Eladio Bobadilla

The food tastes as amazing as it looks.

Hal Flynt

Really great Peruvian Restaurant.

Andie Killigrew

The staple appetizer and start to a good meal. The plating was more for aesthetics than just function. The guac was enough to balance the amount of chips, which is impressive. I liked the texture of the guac overall, but it might have been a tad bit saltier than I wanted. The chips were warm and crisp. As much as I enjoyed it, I probably would opt to try another appetizer since I didn't think it was as good of a value as it was priced ($12

Oladipo Agoro

Great experience, lovely food and drinks

lynn cole

Excellent! Great menu, great food, great service! It would be my go to if I lived in Lexington!

Aubrey Moore

One of my favorite places in town. Great cocktails, fresh guacamole, and rotating specials so I can't have just one favorite dish.

Steve Stid

My wife and I loved it! The food was deliciousand the service was excellent. If you like good drinks and good Mexican food take your date here.

Natasha Turner

Note that the tacos are street-sized, as the menu says, and you won't be disappointed. Service was great! The place was hopping at 6 on a Saturday night, but we came right after a table cleared. Coffee was good and free refills. I had pollo adobo tacos - yum! The adobo hot sauce was awesome on them. The cauliflower al pastor could have used a little salt and butter to round out the flavor but had plenty of spice. Hubby got the rock salt chicken plate and liked it a lot. We had the delicious homemade ice cream for dessert, and we'll definitely be back.

E.J. Bocan III

Nice atmosphere, but VERY LOUD. Difficult to have conversations in this restaurant. The food was good, but forgettable. I was happy with my meal, but would not return or recommend this restaurant to friends.

J Stroup

(Thursday about 7pm) We are visiting the area for vacation. We actually went to another business for dinner and unfortunately they did not allow kids in their business. However, they recommended we try Corto y Lima for a delicious meal and good atmosphere. Corto y Lima is a Latin style cuisine. We were greeted and seated quickly. During our meal, we realized Fri and Sat. would much more difficult to get a table. Let me preface, this review with “delicious” “amazing” , and “unique.” Our selected menu items: Mojitos, Tommy’s margaritas, guacamole, Blue corn Empanadas, Green chili Mac n Cheese, and Anticuchos. Everything was SO SO delicious. The flavors were layered. By this, I mean as you take a bite or a sip of your drink, you taste the flavors in layers. Flavor warning: Many of the dishes were spicy or a spicy base. I recommend this business and will certainly return to try additional drinks and menu items. Overall, I would give this business 5 of 5 stars and 3 of 5 stars for price. If you are planning to eat and drink expect to pay about $40-50 per person. Again, it was worth the price and unable to find and comment on any negatives.

Jason Carroll

Great local place with good food and craft cocktails. No pre-mixed Margaritas here.

Alex

We were able to get a table for 10 for a bachelorette party with a waiter by the name of Oliver. He was a great server and very friendly, he was even kind enough to participate in one of our games where we were dared to do specific things or were required to buy the bride a drink. My dare was the kiss a bald person's head, and Oliver had a shaved head! He was fun and very attentive to our table. They managed to get all of our meals out within an hour. I ordered the Barrel smoked pork tacos and they were spicy, but really good! The fries were really good too and had a great presentation. The guacamole and queso was passed around the table too. They also had a special margarita on the menu for the evening, strawberry mint. I had it both frozen and on the rocks, I would definitely recommend it! Overall, great atmosphere, service and food!!

Miggedy Frost

Delicious! Tapas options, affordable! Great night out! Clase Azul available! Yum! Be careful!

Jordan Thacker

My wife and I ate here on the day i review this and I felt the need to review ASAP. Corto Lima has the most fantastic staff I've ever had the pleasure to speak to. Super kind, knowledgeable and more than willing to go the extra mile to present good service. It was our first time in and I wanted to try the Adobo Chicken tacos and the Cauliflower Al Pastor. It was the most flavorful food I've had in a very long time! The dessert was out of this world as well. A flan and a cake together is like nothing else I've now found. So basically, it's our new spot here in Lexington! Also the coffee is amazing!

Kasey Dickens

Some killer empanadas! The guacamole is perfection and their pineapple tres leches cake is out of this world!

Jeremiah Beber

One of the most creative and inspiring concepts in Lexington - one of the very few places in Lexington I'd put on par in terms of quality with restaurants in Houston (my home town). With that being said, please ask your bartenders to stop throwing glass plates into the bus tub. It's a real ear sore for those of us sitting at the bar top.

Brittany Ford

Took the boyfriend for his birthday, and this is our new favorite place! The food beats anything like it in town, and even a lot of the 'authentic' food we've had abroad. This place has a great charm to it, and you really feel transported while dining here. I highly recommend this place, and literally everything on the menu.

Bill Phillips

Great food

Michelle Campbell

Tequila was great. We really liked the shrimp ceviche, but all the other food was lacking. The tacos were dry and left something to be desired.

preston moragne

Salted chicken was very good

Claire Wilson

Fantastic food, great ambiance, fast service, and friendly staff. Would definitely go back.

Jessica Rubesch

Came here with some friends for dinner on a rainy Saturday night and got a table for 4 right away. Our server's name was Alex and he was super informative and helpful. I had a delicious margarita and my friend had a caipirinha. We ordered tapas style: tamales, empanadas, tacos, and more! Everything was really terrific and I loved the ambiance.

Ed Torres

First time in Lexington and these people have it right! Great location, good food, decent price point. Ate tamales, corn on the cob, guacamole and chips, pork tacos, and topped it off with churros! It was all good!

Mary Fralix

Excellent food, service and atmosphere.

Laura Hallstrom

Great menu and delicious cocktails. The service was excellent. They do not take reservations but do have a separate room for large parties that you can reserve if you call ahead. Great atmosphere for a date night or a celebration!

Nancy Keim

The tapas were all that we had and they were so tasty. Our service was excellent. Corto Lima is a nice addition to the dining scene in downtown Lexington.

Jan Taylor

Excellent meal. Loved the tamale appetizer. Everything was cooked perfectly. Great service. We will take more with us next time.

Robert Eversole

Cocktails were strong, and really tasted of nothing but tequila (I realize this is probably a positive thing for most, so it does not effect my review in any way). Guacamole and chips were the best I've had in a decade, maybe ever! Arepas, tamales, and papas were all very, very good.The tacos were overfilled for the size of the tortillas, making most of the filling spill out on the plate, and unlike traditional tacos, you only get one tortilla per taco...which quickly gets saturated and rips apart. Its not much fun to order a taco, and then have to eat the filling off of the plate with a fork :-(. The flavor of the fillings were good, and the hot sauces were outstanding.

Camila Gomez

Delicious South American style food at a great price. The place is really nice with lots of sunlight. Great service!

Mary Edinger

The drinks are wonderful, the prickly pear margarita is awesome, on the rocks is much better than the slush. The guacamole is fresh and delicious. Both hot sauces on the table are well flavored. The tacos and rice/beans are amazingly flavorful and filling. The shrimp tasted fresh, large, and tender. The service was attentive and when I made my server aware of my coconut oil allergy she spoke with kitchen staff and made sure that there was a no cross contamination. Excellent experience.

Nicholas Tomko

Great Peruvian, Brazilian and Mexican restaurant! We had a private dining experience via special reservation. Our table overlooked the main floor with a view of downtown Lexington. My wife and I were celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary. Regina, our waitress, was attentive and her food and drink suggestions were delicious! We had the black bean dip, blue corn empanadas, arepas, barrel smoked pork tacos, and Magarita de Casas.

Jim Brooks

Very good food. Was a little loud, but I'm an old man I guess.

Mary Sidney Kelly Harbert

Small bites with tons of flavor Peruvian style. I had chicken chiccaron and it was salty. Lovely little spot with a nice vibe.

Christina McDonagh

Fantastic restaurant. Very high quality ingredients. The blue corn empanadas were outstanding. Great atmosphere and staff too.

GD curttin

Food was some of the best I ever had, loved the rock salt chicken, queso and mac and cheese

Jason Brooks

Great food and great bar atmosphere. Drink up, eat good and be merry.

Austin Howell

A little pricey for the portion sizes of the food but a quality, flavorful experience in a unique environment.

Karl Warner

Best Mexican joint in 4050whatever!

Tyler Korus

One of our favorite Mexican places in town. They make the most of their fairly limited space. The craft drinks are delicious and the service is consistently stellar.

Matthew Taylor

The tamales were very good, but I was not a fan of the cauliflower “al pastor” tacos. Overall, a nice ambiance and I will return.

Olga Marchuk

Cozy place in the heart of downtown Lexington. Great selection of delicious traditional Latin dishes. The crispy smoked jalapeno shrimp tacos are absolutely my favorite. Owner and chef Jonathan Lundy is phenomenal and very attentive to the customers in his restaurant. Tight space, but worth it!

Gussie Heydenreich

This is perfect. The food and the customer service is great.

Philip Pietrowski

Loved the fresh chips and the green salsa. Best I've ever tasted, without a shadow of a doubt. Crispy shrimp tacos were delightful with more than a bit of heat but nothing rediculous. The biggest issue: the service was slow. Really. Really......really....... S.... L.... O.....W. Lunch took almost 75 minutes which is simply too long.

Natalie Moore

Such a great experience! Very low key, fun atmosphere, GREAT staff and service. The food is fantastic! Make sure you try the tres letches.

Front Desk

Awesome place, atmosphere, and food. Highly recommend to all ages. Great place to eat fast or long dates.

JT Moore

A beautiful restaurant, perfect for brunch. I haven't been there later in the day, but I have twice so far had an amazing brunch in their bright and beautiful, Latin-inspired location. Their cocktails are delicious and the food is authentic while having a modern flair. This corner location is a must stop for anyone interested in enjoying the wonderful and varied cuisine Lexington has to offer.

Stephanie Keyes-Cassell

This place was absolutely the best; please try their bowl of Macaroni-n-cheese, it was awesome! The staff was also very nice, and kept your water glasses full! I work downtown, and will defintely return there!

Chris Poore

We love this place. We’ve been here a half dozen times and it NEVER disappoints. Regina, our server this time, was lovely and helpful. One of the best restaurants in Lexington.

Doug Heckman

Never thought I’d have Latin-inspired food in KY, but what a pleasant surprise. Incredible multi-textured flavors in their tacos and tamales. Wish I could have had a drink or two. Special dessert featured in-house coconut ice cream atop bread pudding - a creative, very tasty take on a classic. Mellow, friendly vibe which I’m sure is more lively later in the week. Thoroughly enjoyed this small restaurant.

Brooklyn Curtis

Great atmosphere, food looked & tasted amazing, and awesome service as well!! Will definitely be back!

RC Tilford

Delicious food, great service

Stephanie Cunningham

What a cool place! They accommodated our party of 10 with no problem, and the service was great. The margarita de casa was the best drink I've ever had, and all the food looked incredible. I will definitely be back!

Connie Levy

The food was excellent, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was excellent ... making this the perfect restaurant to enjoy with friends, a date night, or alone! You don't want to miss dining here!

Shadi Qasem

Delicious food and fun atmosphere

Bill Hutchinson

Amazing food and experience. A must for any visitors and locals!

April Petillo

Maybe it was the (UKy GWS) company or the night, but Corto Lima was an exquisite surprise on my first night in Lexington! The food was ridiculously delicious and meet all of my PNW foodie desires. The drinks were excellent as well. Our waitperson one the menu and drink offerings and easily set us up for a yummy taste tour of their small plates to accompany our drinks. Seriously.... If you're loving for a fun night in a smallish and unpretentious restaurant, find yourself here.

Teresa Goss

Consistently great staff. Austin is perfection. Happy hour special can't be beat!

Jc Robinson

Super delicious

Jordan Ryan

This place has some of the most amazing entrees and I cant hardly pronounce any of them which makes it that much more fun. Go have the Chicken Chicharron! Best new thing I've eaten in a while. Awesome staff as well. Our server, Grace, was very helpful and super genuine. Her recommendations definitely hit the spot, from that chicken dish to the Watermelon Margarita. 11/10 go here and eat some stuff that you cant pronounce!

zajedi izaskydive

The lomo sartado was amazing! I would definitely recommend for anybody looking to have delicious food.

Elizabeth Noonan-Thacker

I've been wanting to eat here for soooo long after seeing all the beautiful food on Instagram and finally went the other day... I was BLOW AWAY with how fresh and beautiful this food tasted. It was honestly the best happy food I've had in a long long time! I also got churros for my dessert and oh boy... We're they the best thing ever. I'm so excited to return here it's honestly unbelievably good!!

Cora Sanchez

This was our first time here. It is a very nicely decorated downtown restaurant and bar with a Peruvian flavor. The food was excellent. We shared 3 small plate meals: tamales, steak tacos and shrimp cheviche. But what impressed me the most was how kind they treated a homeless lady who came in to use the restroom. I held my breath hoping they wouldn’t be mean and ask her to leave. No, instead they called her by name and spoke kindly to her. I said something to the waitress about her interaction with the lady and she said, “We owe everyone respect.” The food and their service to all earned a five star rating from me.

Amber Bentine

Our server John was a phenomenal hands-down the best hospitality and customer service any diner could ask for. He recommended food that was delicious and help us decide what we would drink. He explained all of the food and more, helping us feel comfortable and welcome. We will be back and refer all of our friends and family.... he gets it and so does Corta Y Lima ! This place is top notch.

Emily M

This place was heaven. I was so thrilled to find this. I found it because the reviews like this, so I figured I might as well add my own to say just how delicious my food was. I sat in the bar area and the staff was very nice as well. I left feeling more content than I’ve been in months. Yummy. Yummy. Yummy. :-)

Brian Quintana

If you are looking for vibrant and flavorful dishes, look no further. What a true gem! Everything we had there was like nothing we ever had before. The roasted corn (dont remember the name) was a huge surprise! Never new corn of all things, could tats like that. We had a little of everything. And we were not disappointed. Be careful during peak times as seating is limited. We arrived at 5pm and were seated right away. Then it quickly filled up. Even if you have to wait, it's worth it.

Johnny Vicroy

Great food. Great food. Upscale menu in an upscale location with a welcoming feel.

Megan Charles

Every time we go, we enjoy Corto Lima. The food is good; the staff are polite; and the rates are more than reasonable for an afternoon out for two. If you are into Latin/American fusion food, I highly recommend it. Simple ingredients with bold flavor.

Gallifrey Girl

Great atmosphere, helpful & attentive wait staff, stellar food

Stephanie Teichmiiller

The hip place to be! The cocktails were delicious and very different! We loved the tapas menu servings which allowed us to sample a variety of delicious dishes!!! One of the best meals we’ve experienced in a long time! The bartenders and the servers were very attentive!

Kameron Stephens

I don’t generally enjoy Mexican food and I liked this place! Wonderful staff, delicious sides and entrees, and a good variety of both.

Hamed Mirzamani

Stopped here during a drive through town. Nice cozy restaurant. Good food. Margaritas were ok.

Courtney Ware

Visiting from out of state. Great food!!!

Mohini Patel

Very good fusion food and small plates. Cocktails are some of the best I’ve had in Lexington. Great place to eat a little or a lot. Very good atmosphere. Freshness of ingredients is a plus, too. I wish they would mix up the menu options more often, and the wait for a table can be an issue. Otherwise, love this place !

Jerry Coleman

Food was amazing

Suellen Holloway

Absolutely delicious! What a fun, hip place, cozy with a great atmosphere and warm, attentive staff. The guacamole and queso appetizers aim to please, several of the small plates are top-rated. The salmon was delicious with a lovely green salad with horseradish cream atop the sweet glazed salmon...something a little different but very tasty. We Will definitely return. Thank you for a very good experience.

Jane Smith

Great atmosphere, consistently interesting food!

JONO Nguyen

Food was delicious, friendly staff, nice atmosphere

Kyle Shenk

Really amazing food for a great price!

Carol KASPER

Wonderful food. Great margaritas. Staff was very efficient and fun. Very positive experience.

Joey Miniard

The food here is great. The staff are good and the atmosphere and very open and friendly with a nice mix of people. The only negative comment I would have unfortunately is a result of that fun lively atmosphere and that is that the restaurant is very noisy due to all the talking.

Eric Hillman

Had the shrimp tacos and they were great. Never thought black beans and rice could be so tasty either. Was so good.they talked me into their rum flavored ice cream. Wow. Great little place.

David Ciochetty

Corn tortilla chips to die for! We started with the salsa trio, advancing to three "small plates (think tapas), finishing with the churros (chocolate sauce and a goat's milk caramel sauce). Excellent specialty bar drinks. Streetside parking is metered until 5PM.

Lou Larson

Unplanned stop for dinner, turned into a delightful surprise. Food & drinks were excellent. Restaurant was very busy, but our service was still great, and Manager checked in after dinner to make sure we had everything we needed. Highly Recommended!

sasha Gonzalez

I loved this place. Great customer service and the food was amazing!

Flyersgirl H

Tacos are very small but very tasty. The roasted corn on the table quickly becomes something you can't stop eating. Their queso is creamy and delicious. The wait staff is extremely good- knowledgeable, friendly and on top of things.We will be back to try out the rest of their offerings.

Anita Vanmali

Amazing food & awesome margaritas! Service was ok & seemed rushed at times..overall experience was great.

Taylor H

Food was awesome. Tight squeeze as the space always has been. My parents who are a little on the heavy side were asked to postition themselves to provide more room. How exactly should we contort our bodies to fit the space? We had a larger party but call aheads and reservations are not taken. Our server was great though and the drinks were quite tasty.

Ali E. Mohammad

Horrible service. Racist restaurant. Bar staff is great. We were seated at a table but did not get a waiter or waitress to come by for an hour, we ended up leaving. Multiple tables were seated after us and were served. The owner was there and did not car one single bit. Leads me to believe he’s happy with the way things are.

Lee McWhorter

This place was incredible. Started off with a few tapas. We had the tortes which were stuffed with cheese and topped with some creamy guacamole. Next we had the barrel smoked pork tamales with tomatillo sauce, which might have been the greatest tamales I've ever had. Then we had the adobo chicken tacos with cotija cheese. The corn tortillas were caramelized a bit and just the right size which tasted silky with a pinch of lime juice squeezed on them. To finish off the meal, we had tres leches and Peruvian shade grown coffee. I would recommend this place to anyone, the prices are affordable and the atmosph is great.

Carol Ramos

Excellent vegan choices

Will Hanrahan

Authentic small plates of interesting Mexican food + great margaritas

Donna R. Huff

Loved Spending Time With My Daughter

Mark Jackson

Really love this place. Great food, wonderful atmosphere, and the best margaritas in town. Staff is knowledgeable and nice. And hip. Very, very hip.

Tara Ogden

Delicious! Very friendly service!

MJ Bruce

Awesome food! Great flavor! Wonderful service!

Dennis Wagner

Great environment. Excellent food and good service. I recommend.

Thom Pavlik

Excellent plates. I had the pork tacos with jalapeno jelly and they were great.

Erika Larson

What's not to like about Corto Lima? I have visited multiple times with friends and never had a bad meal. The servers are very friendly and helpful. The drink selection is good and the wine choices are not options you would get at another restaurant locally. The small plates are varied and worth sharing in place of an entree. It tends to get busy quickly and they don't take reservations, only call ahead seating. Did I mention the guacamole? That as an appetizer alone is worth a trip.

Bennett Hahmann

Very cool place in downtown Lexington. It was jumping inside but we lucked out and grabbed a spot for two at the bar. The bartender team were on their game and taking great care of everyone. The drinks were really good and the service was five stars. The guacamole was excellent.

Della LaCross

This is one of the most outstanding restaurants in all Kentucky. The Latin cuisine and infusions take me and my husband back to travels we've had. You must check them out now.

Christian Tipton

Solid food with a variety of vegan and vegetarian options throughout the menu

Kevin Clay

Everything was great. The blue corn empanadas were crazy good.

Veronica Daniels

Very good Mexican food and cocktails. Very friendly staff. I would definitely go back.

Charles Houston

Selection of drinks are good, now on to the food. I may get some names of dishes wrong, but I'll do my best. 1. Black Bean Dip with fresh chips - This was great. The chips were just about as perfect as you can get, maybe a few too many broken chips in the bag they were served in. The dip itself was solid, not over powering, top notch starter. 2. Pork Tacos - I do not like soft corn tortillas as a general rule, this is where the exception is. The meat was tender. Very spicy, but to my liking. Just a solid little plate. 3. Tostones - Fried plantains with a chipotle (I believe) dipping sauce. This is a more mild dish and the plantains were a little over cooked. All in all a very pleasant dish. 4. Aperatas - This was a corn cake, filled with queso blanco, and topped with guacamole. It was fantastic. I was hesitant when I ordered it because who knows what the corn cake would be like, but this turned almost into a savory molten lava cake. Just the right amount of crisp. The guacamole was solid as well. Delicious. 5. Chicken Chicherrons - My favorite thing I ate all night. I can't honestly describe this well enough. A flavor packed bite, just the right levels of texture and a subtle heat. I will come back just to have this dish again. 6. Shrimp Tacos - This was ordered at the end because I wanted to taste something from their seafood side. This was a major disappointment. The most important thing here, which was left off the menu, is that this is made with fried shrimp. In a restaurant were everything is such quality, to get served a heavily breaded fried shrimp taco was almost insulting. The flavors of the slaw on it were good, and had this been some kind of sauteed shrimp it probably would have been great. All good listed above with one margarita and one Dos Xs the bill came to about $53. Considering the amount of food i thought it was a very fair price. Could easily be a nice quick lunch place for a light meal of any of their small plates. I will be back. This place is a gem. Our server was Jordan and he did a great job of checking on us at appropriate times. He wasn't invasive, but we also never wanted for anything. He did a fantastic job and all the staff we interacted with were very friendly. Enjoy the food!

David Frost

Mediocre food. Seemed to have potential but lacking love. The Cuban was dry as a bone. Waitress wanted to clean table as I was trying to eat. I was actually afraid she was going to take my plate under my sandwich when I picked it up to take a bite. Slow down there miss.

A Sunah

Wasn’t really impressed overall. Manhattan wasn’t very good, guess I shouldn’t order whiskey where they specialize in Latin food... didn’t care much for the fried plantains, bland and over cooked. And the tacos were nothing to rave about. Not worth the cost in my opinion.

E.Hutchinson Design

Taco week has arrived in Lexington and I'm slightly ashamed that it took me so long to visit this incredible restaurant. The decor and layout reminded me of European restaurants where friends come together to catch up over a long enjoyable meal. We ordered Guacamole as an appetizer which came in a beautiful wooden bowl. It was a perfectly blended composition; not too much flavor of any one ingredient. It, unfortunately, was mostly consumed before the thought to take a picture came to mind. For our main entree, my fiance and I split the cauliflower al pastor and the adobo chicken tacos. These were also well-balanced with bold savory flavors and complimentary acidic notes. The portions seem small, but were the perfect amount for two. In a moment of weakness, one we all face towards the end of each meal, we also decided to try the waiter's favorite dessert - the Tres Leches Cake. It was pure art displayed in a square glass container. Tres Leches, when done improperly can be extremely runny and mushy which is less than appealing. This, however, was an incredible ratio of decadent milks and a light cake topped with fresh mango pieces and toasted coconut shavings. All in all, the service was friendly and light-hearted, yet professional and knowledgeable, the food was mouth-watering and reasonably priced/portioned and the decor and layout was comforting, yet chic. Fantastic experience!

Peter Akpunonu

Flavorful food. Nice downtown location. The space is small and cramped which detracts from the good Latin fusion food that you'll get to enjoy.

Kelly Rhody

We recently moved to Lexington and have been looking for a spot like this to come back to again and again. I could not have asked for a better meal! Everything was fresh, quick and amazing! I loved the pork tacos which had a smoky, sweet and spicy flavor! The guac and chips were fantastic! As many say...save room for dessert because the tres leche cake was to die for!!!! The safe was amazing and the setting was just as awesome. I felt like I was back in NYC!!! We will be back again!!

Jeff Fu

Excellent food great taste and fast service. Will revisit next time we are in town thank you for accommodating our party of large guys on such short notice

Marie Beauchamp

First time there and it was great. Food is good and service is excellent. Cozy environment.

Andrew Loera

Very cool/great food! The service was amazing!

Eric Earhart

Went for lunch. White Queso and tamales were great. Tamale portion is very large. Their house sauces on the table are delicious the darker one with heat and the lighter with a touch of sweetness

Jason Morgan

Stumbled in to this joint on a Sunday afternoon... What a great find! Absolutely a unique, delicious, wonderful place!!

Brandon Stephens

Such a wonderful homage to Peruvian cooking. I might even call it genius work, or through research and dedicated science.

Phillip Chaney

Very good food, a bit pricey for the portion size but overall good.

thebeast656

I think that the food was pretty great. The drinks were tasty and the chips were also great. My only negative is that the food is overpriced for what you get. I do plan on returning but I plan on hitting up some more places before o return.

Von Wides

Enjoyed great friendly service. Food was delicious.

Mike Keller

The food was tasty and interesting, but portions were small. Service was excellent.

Ellen Wilborn

Small plates, restaurant itself on the small side, but love the location! The guacamole was so good but the Tres Leches cake is what keeps me coming back! Absolutely to die for.

Chelsea Tyson

Loved this spot. Such an awesome twist on Tex mex

Cristina Pinheiro

This restaurant is a MUST GO!! Seriously what are you doing still reading this!?

Nickie Guinn

Quaint little place. Great tamales.

Ryan Smith

Tremendous service and food, great atmosphere and a clean environment. Every time, it's a terrific experience and the menu never gets old. One of the best, if not the best, Latin cuisines in town!

Anne V.

Love the cauliflower tacos which happen to be vegan. Shrimp ceviche another favorite. Everything I’ve tried has been wonderful. Great people watching. Get a bunch of small plates and tacos for the table and enjoy.

Jenfolio Wedding and Portrait Photography

This review is prefaced by traveling through Mexico and study abroad in Peru. I'm from Utah and until Corto Lima open in Lexington, I would wander the Yelp pages wondering if anyone even knew what ceviche was. These guys are the best. That is all. Next time I'm coming back with my camera, because food is life and photos prove it.

Alfred Hughes

Excellent experience, the lunch special was awesome.

Rhonda Rounds

I really enjoyed this place. I had a totally vegetarian meal, and to be honest I didn't even miss meat. I almost even thought I'd ordered the wrong thing with the jackfruit empanadas. Very good. If I lived in Lexington, this would become a place I went to.

Adam Zook

Good menu variety and everything was well-presented and delicious

Lindsay Knappenberger

First time here. My friend and I randomly picked a place to eat after just getting into town. We've never been to Lexington, or Kentucky before for that matter. The food was amazing! Multiple vegan and gluten free options. I had jackfruit tacos and plantain empanadas.

Courtney Banschbach

Great food, cool space
