    Literally the best. Love coming here for both food and cocktails. Only downside is they don’t take reservations, but if there’s a wait we just pop over to Georgie’s and it’s honestly never an issue. Worth it every time!

    The Old Guys Pub Crawl had a great meal and good beer at Corto Lima. All was well, the old guys were chipper and everyone had a good day here. We also crawled into a couple more downtown bars. Retirement has been good.

    I had a PHENOMENAL experience today at Corto y Lima. First of all, the happy hour deal was amazing. The happy hour drinks are each $5, which is a great deal for the quality of the beverages. The margarita, especially, was wonderful. I also quite enjoyed my food. I had a crunchwrap that was filling and delicious, as well as the Nachos with queso and black beans. All of this was less than $30 during the happy hour. Definitely a deal to check out! It was also very filling. I ate about 9 hours ago now, and I am still full! The decor and atmosphere of the place is also lovely. Very peaceful and earthy, but bright and open! I spent some time reading and relaxing, and it was perfect! My server, Alex, was wonderful, helpful, kind, and made me feel very welcomed! I really enjoyed Corto y Lima and I can definitely understand why I continue to see it recommended as a great Lexington dining option!
