"Absolutely delicious food. I would happily eat here for lunch or dinner every day… except one big caveat. Their pricing keeps increasing and when my meal is 2/3 rice that costs next to nothing and 1/3 tofu that also is a very cheap ingredient, paying $20+ is just so out of reach. I’ve mostly quit purchasing here and it makes me sad because it is incredibly delicious, but there is better value elsewhere. "

"What we got tonight was nothing short then awesome! The food was so flavorful. The fish was perfect and had amazing seasonings. Plus they give you a bunch of food for the price. Lastly the leche Strawberry Tres Leches Cake It's my absolute favorite! I would literally just do doordash to get one of these cakes. Great job!"
"Everything is ALWAYS so good from the Mexican. The Elote Fries were SO GOOD!! I will def be getting these with EVERY order I get from now on. The Wings are ALWAYS good! I get them everytime I order also ! Ive never seen a Fried Tamal anywhere else....def a treat! The Al Pastor Fajitas were excellent but I def expected more food with it. The Mexican Burritos wasn't for me but my boyfriend absolutely loved it. I always get the Side of Green Onions ( Cebollitas and they are also fantastic! I didnt get as much as I did last time I ordered them but that wasn't really a huge issue. The 3 Trio Dip Special (4oz of each Dip), the dips were great but the chips were too hard to even eat. We just used bagged chips that we already hacat home. The Salsa Roja 8oz (HOT) was SO GOOD but, be aware...VERY hot lol. In all, never had a bad thing from The Mexican so far. One of my very favorite mexican restaurants for sure!"
