Yummy Botana — Restaurant in Lexington

Stopped by Yummy Botana yesterday evening (for the first time) on a whim because we wanted some esquites to go with dinner. I was pretty blown away with how pleasant the staff were! I wish I would’ve caught the young lady’s name, but she was so nice! I ordered two cups of esquites and a slice of flan. While the esquites were top notch…y’all. THE FLAN. It was so delicious!

I plan to work my way through the entire line up of traditional Mexican snacks if I can stop eating the paletas. Service is fantastic and friendly. If you need explanations of what goes in each snack offering, the employees and owner are super nice and explain...
