A photo of The Lexington restaurant

Exceptional(3029)
Price: Expensive
• American • Saint Paul
Booked 41 times today
The Lexington is more than a restaurant, it’s an institution. Located on the corner of Lexington Parkway and Grand Avenue, this St. Paul community was the most fashionable at the turn of the 19th century. The St. Paul elite lived just blocks away and the first electric trolley brought visitors up and down Grand Avenue. The Lexington opened in 1935, after the end of prohibition, and was a popular neighborhood bar to gather and socialize. Previously operating as a speakeasy, the expansive wood panels were perfect for hiding a little booze and one can only imagine the shenanigans going on beyond the hidden staircase behind the coat check. For decades following, The Lex, as it’s called by locals and enthusiasts alike, was the place to be seen; business dealings, cocktail hours, and milestone celebrations were a regular occurrence for St. Paul socialites.

• Mexican • Saint Paul

Boca Chica Mexican Restaurant has served the flavorful, authentic cuisine of Mexico since 1964. It was then that Guillermo and Gloria Frias opened the doors to their new restaurant that seated only 28 patrons. Today, Boca Chica has grown substantially and is rated "one of the best Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities," according to the Minneapolis-St. Paul Magazine’s March 2018 issue.The authenticity of the food is maintained by making everything from scratch, the old-fashioned way, with fresh ingredients. Even the fiery salsa is still made with fresh tomatoes, chiles, and that special Frias family touch. Our menu includes some of the more traditional foods such as guisados, sopes, carne asada, chile rellenos, and tamales. Taste is never compromised. We also have a full bar featuring the city’s best selection of Mexican beers and premium tequilas. Voted "Best Margarita" by City Pages.

    Service was excellent. The staff were very prompt and friendly. The food was filling and delicious. The mariachi band was a delightful touch for our evening. The only negative was that I would have preferred more spice in their salsa.

    Our server was phenomenal! We had a large party, most of which had never been to a Buca before. We chose the appetizers, salad and meals right away to keep the food coming at a pace so we didn't fill up and have to wait! They sang Happy Birthday to my mother in law and made her feel very important. She was so excited, felt so special. The whole crew did an amazing job. We had a soda spill, and no one got upset... This was very important to me. The whole experience was delightful! The bruschetta is to die for, per usual... The pizza and alfredo were scrumptious. The salad stole the show, which really surprised me. Thank you, Buca!!! We will be back!
