"The H-1 Musubi is always a nice addition to whatever I get, the nori wrap really adding that nice extra bit atop the spam and sauce, with a goodly portion of rice to spread the flavor of the spam. The Wagyu Teriyaki Beef Plate has a very nice teriyaki sauce, and the tomatoes add a nice pop with it. I got the papaya salad as the side item, which was a good contrast to the beef."
"Wagyu Teriyaki Beef Plate is absolutely delicious. Just enough rice to meat ratio and the mac salad goes well as a side. The Pineapple Ice Tea is something new I've tried and would def buy again it's so good. First time ordering from here and it has now become a favorite ! "

"This location on mall rd seems to be the only one thats made stuff right since visiting regularly for the last 30 years. If u want it made the way its supposed to be then visit here!! Tastes great and good portions."
"feels a little expensive, especially for how spotty the quality is. But man, sometimes I just get a craving for that Mexican Pizza - and at least that is usually good. Feels like I roll the dice on everything else I try, and the odds aren't in my favor. And though nothing else felt particularly well made or fresh this time either, the Chalupa Supreme was especially bad- chewy, almost gummy shell with chicken jerky inside... Diablo Sauce Packets pretty well save the day there though. that Diablo sauce is fire 😂"

"The presentation of my food was on point. I ordered the cole slaw instead of fries and got both which was a welcome surprise. The slaw was creamy not dry which I like and the taste was good. The fish was fried just right with a crunchy exterior and no old grease taste. Spicy garlic wings were perfect. My only complaint is that I live that lemon pepper in EVERYTHING and even though that option was in my receipt & got NONE at all ( no utensils no napkins). I gave them the benefit of the doubt with the grade since everything else was great."

"First of all, the food is always outstanding. We are obsessed with their creamy jalapeño sauce. But also, the customer service is amazing. My daughter is autistic and obsessed with their steak fajita. But if a pepper or tomato would touch it, she wouldn't eat it. Not just do they accommodate this and just let us order the meat, they also nicely pack the sides seperately so the vegetables don't touch anything. This is so much appreciated."
"We door dashed Peppers for dinner, we don't do this often because food can be a little questionable but we weren't able to get out. We were pleasantly surprised. Food was fresh! Tamale A LA CARTE, Chimichanga and burrito was so good! Their food is always consistent. Portions were huge. We will definitely door dash them again! Food is great delivered or in restaurant!!"

"STEAK nachos chips were delicious, there were a lot of toppings. 10 pc fried mushrooms were also great, and I was surprised they gave me more than 10. Overall, I'm impressed. Great deal during lunch specials! "
"My wife and I absolutely love this place. We consistently get some combination of Chicken BURRITO or bowl, but have tried many other items as well, and always been satisfied. There are VERY few places where you can get a decent meal at basically any time of day, and Mexican Grill is as reliable as they come. Especially with our late-night work schedules. We have even ordered pickup, and gone inside so we could say thank you to the people working there. We will continue to order again and again. The food is good and fresh, the portions are large, and on the rare occasion I have asked for an unusual change, they have given me what I asked for without batting an eye. Cannot recommend them enough."

"The best thing we ordered were the onion rings -- hot and crispy! The rest of it wasn't worth the price. The "steak" in both items was a lot of chewy pieces with a couple of good ones mixed in. The veggies were fresh. The rice bowl had less than one-third cup of rice, and the noodles in the ramen bowl had a greasy mouth feel. "

"I am so happy to find a place that does a Texas Dip the way I got used to. I really enjoy having that dip for dinner with some extra Pico De Gallo. I'm impressed that the serving of Pico De Gallo was a reasonable size/value. Pico De Gallo is my favorite condiment and this one tastes fresh - but, not made today! Perfect pico needs at least one overnight to be made with love. I would gladly have this again. ❤️ I decided to try the Tamales (1 Piece) also, since there was a photo credit. It's huge and flavorful. This tastes a lot like the tamales that a little old woman from Mexico sold door-to-door. This will reheat so well and I have no regrets. 🤤"
"LOVE the Texas Twinkles- (3)! Everything was really tasty, Chori Cheese Dip was so good. Burrito was solid. Only thing I'd say is the Pico De Mango was pretty small for the price and the Mexican Corn could've done with more hot Cheeto dust. All in all, really good food!"
