About El Gran Tako

A Journey from Mexico City’s Streets to Lexington’s Heart

An independently owned and family-run Mexican restaurant, with the first restaurant in New Circle Rd opening in 2009 and the second one in Alexandria Dr. opening in 2012. Our dishes are inspired by the street food we grew up eating in our home country, Mexico, with the purpose of transporting our customer’s to the central area of Mexico City.

We are proud to have created a friendly and welcoming space where Lexington locals can regularly enjoy authentic Mexican flavors and warm service without having to leave Lexington! We love it even more when they bring their guests!

Don’t Just Take Our Word For It!

Suddenly remembered this place from years ago. They took our tour bus of +27 in when a racist restaurant nearby suddenly “forgot” our reservations and sent us away. They immediately brought up our moods with their warm personalities, good food and service.

Tons of flavor!!! Everything is prepared and cooked spot-on. Staff is very friendly and enthusiastic. They offer many authentic dishes that you don’t see in more cookie-cutter restaurants. A new favorite!

This was our first time eating here. I had Birria and my husband had carnitas. The highlight for both of us was the homemade corn tortillas. Fabulous. Great place for food and very friendly staff who even helped me with my attempts to order in Spanish. We are going back!

Best authentic Mexican food in Lexington! My favorite is burrito bravo which is a huge spicy beef burrito. I always get onions and avocado on it. I order it multiple times a week! The service is great here too. Highly recommend.

They have the most amazing real-deal tacos! I have traveled all over Mexico and I have never had better tacos than the ones they serve. The waitresses are very nice and helpful and the prices are great. Others say “Authentic Mexican Food” and serve Tex-Mex, but El Gran Tako serves truly “Authentic Mexican Food”
