Mex Avenue

First time and lunch was a big win!Super nice and helpful staff and the food was fast and delicious. 3 vegetarian tacos .Mmmmm

Stopped here for a quick bite. The $2 tacos for taco tuesday really hit the spot. The interior vibe is very trendy and lively.

Relatively authentic Mexican food served up very, very fast. Vegetarian tacos hit the spot but the steak chimichangas were lacking. I'd skip the chips and queso if I were you. Small portion, high price tag. Overall, I thought the prices were steep and there is no soda machine which I was surprised by - made drink options a little limited but a bottle of Jarritos soda is always a good choice (if you ask me). They also had frozen alcoholic drinks including a snowman and Grinch themed Christmas drink which I thought was cute but did not try. The menus are displayed on a big board on the wall right when you walk in. No paper menus. You place your order at a counter and then grab a seat of your choosing. Most patrons did carry out when we ate here (Sunday at around 6pm). The place did fill up pretty fast and by the time we left there were limited tables available. Service was friendly and you tip before sitting down, if you want to. The floor was insanely slippery - honestly it was like someone spilled a vat of grease on the floor. I mention this because I nearly slipped several times while walking to the restroom. Not sure I would eat here again but I am curious about their brunch offerings.

This was the new restaurant of the week to try out. This is in the new concept that is popping up all, the resident mall which I just don't get because I wouldn't want to live in a busy mall. The place is small and colorful with no real table service, Culver's like with place your order at the register and put your plastic number on the table.I ordered the taco dinner to go because it was packed with one steak up charge, pastor and ground beef with cilantro and onions that comes with rice and beans. I tasted a sample of everything and I defiantly didn't care for the the non traditional flavors of the meats, beans, rice and sauces. Everything looked good but the flavors were like this is hipster Mexican and we do it differently here. The tacos were oily and small with dry steak and moist pastor.Overall the flavor profiles of my food were not traditional Mexican flavors so if that's what your looking for than this isn't the place, maybe it's a fusion Mexican thing, I don't know.

Date of visit: December 8, 2023I believe Mex Avenue replaced another Mexican restaurant that didn't make it, so I was a bit wary of trying it but this was a work celebration lunch so I figured that I didn't have much to lose since it wasn't on my dime!It's counter service but staff was very friendly and provided suggestions and options for each of us. When I asked to confirm that the quesadilla didn't have any onions or tomatoes, she confirmed but mentioned that the ground beef was cooked with peas and carrots, which I appreciated. Those veggies aren't an issue for me, but was glad that she verified as some folks would have not taken the time to throw that in!We also went with some chips and salsa; there are two kinds of salsa, one for gringos such as me and another that is seriously hot, so avoid the green salsa if you're a wimp like me! The chips were warm and appeared to be homemade--we did not leave any behind! I really enjoyed my quesadilla and found the rice to be excellent as well. Food arrived quickly and staff came around to clear dishes and bring more water as needed, though I did wish the water cups were a bit larger or a carafe/pitcher was provided as it seemed wasteful to bring me a new plastic cup each time! In terms of ambiance, it's decorated in a way that fits the theme, but also doesn't encourage hanging around, as the chairs and benches are a bit hard, so don't come here for a long strategy or study session, your bum will not appreciate it. Outside of that, it was a great visit!

A great spot for drinks, dinner or dessert. We were headed there specifically for the mini churro cart as I'd seen it online but called some family members to see if they wanted to meet there. They hadn't eaten dinner yet so they grabbed an actual meal and were thrilled with what they got and have even gone back already.But the churro cart was definitely the highlight. It comes out with a giant sparkler and more churros than we could eat alone with two sauces and two ice creams. Just a really fun little treat. They also have a margarita tower that looks fun but we just got one large strawberry margarita to share and it was delicious. The cart took a bit to come out but meals were made very quickly. The restaurant has been newly redo and has a fun and festive atmosphere to go with their fun options. We will definitely be back

I've eaten here 3-4 times. The food is delicious - even the beans and rice are excellent. They provide two squeezable sauces (red and green) plus they provide table service after you walk in and pay. Highly recommend the food. Only thing is price. I got a burrito plus chips and guacamole and tap water which was over $30 with tip.

I was really pleased visiting this location. I had it saved to go visit when I returned back home and I'm glad that I did. The location was really clean. The service was pretty quick. I may not understand that people in front of me don't know how to order and look at the menu before they get up there, but that has no ground for the workers there who tried to work diligently to get customers in and out as quickly as possible, I really enjoy my chimichanga. The steak was flavored. I did not like the sour cream. I do like a thicker sour cream but again that's not here nor there it's not something to mark it down the star for just because of my preference the margaritas tower to me was a little too sweet, but it still got the job done so I still fell asleep with no problem after having about two of those after that tree overall definitely plan on visiting again very soon.

My husband and I decided to stop here for Mexican food. It was a really busy but luckily we found a table. You order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. The ambiance was fun they were playing good Latin music. The service was fast and I was surprised because it was so busy. We ordered quesabirria taco plate and chips and guacamole as an appetizer. The quesabirria tacos were delicious and authentic it came with the consomé, onion and cilantro, and the side of rice and beans. Quesabirria tacos are not super easy to find in Mexican restaurants so I'm glad we tried them. The strawberry margarita on the rocks I ordered was good and it came in a cute little cup you can take home with you. Definitely recommend this place, we will be coming back to try more food.

The rice the refried beans are good. 3 taco plate disappeared quick. For me the steak recipe is very The nature is in the spice. At least I hope that's cumin. Dry. The cooking skills are there. The recipe needs tuning in my opinion. Opinion The burrito The flautas authentic, maybe. For me mine are much more blan. Cooking Skills the flautas rapped golden brown evenly plated with beans and rice in a fair portion . The order taking was okay. The seasoning seems out of proportion. Didn't like the attitude at the pickup area . All together for this visit 2 1/2 stars . Calculating potential 3. A little shot of Patron can relax the appetite if you have a designated driver. Restaurant was clean new nice place
