Mexi

I came here on a Friday night. Maybe because of the weather there wasn't a need to make reservations. Wherever you sit it is quite drafty so just remember to wear layers here even the bathroom was cold here too. Service wise it could've went better. They either came by when we needed them or they were no where to be seen it was 50/50. Food wise, tried out the steak carne asada and the tres leches and I enjoyed the steak a lot. It was very tender. The tres leches tasted great! It wasn't too sweet. It looked like an ice cream sundae.

Tried this newer (opened for about a year now) Mexican restaurant in Williamsburg last Saturday evening for dinner. We were able to get bar seats without a reservation (they had a few large groups that evening).The place is such a vibe. Really cool décor and a really impressive bar, particularly the mezcal selection.I had the espressito cocktail (basically espresso martini with mezcal)- I'm not usually a fan of mezcal/smoky cocktails but this was very well balanced and delicious. We shared the guac to start which was pretty good. For dinner, I had the pork shoulder al pastor skewers. The meat itself was tender, but surprisingly bland. It also seemed like they tried too hard to make the entrée visually appealing and missed the mark portion-wise. There was a generous portion of meat, but too few accompaniments such as the tortillas, salsa, etc. Also, I think the pineapple was more just for show which was a bummer lol. Service was friendly and warm but they seemed pretty busy so it ended up being very, very slow. Wasn't an issue for us though because we were having a great time chatting and catching up. We were advised by the bartender that the menu is changing next week so I would give the food another shot, and would certainly come back for the drinks and atmosphere.

Came here for a birthday and it was very lovely. The portions, particularly the guac, were a bit smaller than expected. But it was delicious, perfectly spiced. The plating is so impressive. Every dish was yummy and unique. Definitely recommend the ceviche and the octopus for an app. The birria of the birria tacos was a bit too oily for my liking but the meat was terrific. Sadly, I wasn't able to try the drinks but they looked very cute. The wait staff did a great job! Thank you!

My friend and I were craving Mexican last night, and Mexi popped up on our search. Given its proximity to the L, we ended up deciding to try it out!We went at about 7pm on a Tuesday and it was pretty quiet with a few tables occupied outside. Inside was quite large, but not super busy.We ended up ordering the guac, a quesadilla and birria tacos. The guac had a little bit of a kick with chili crisp on top. Service was friendly and we didn't feel rushed - always important for a girls night! Didn't get to try the drinks last night, but they looked pretty good too.

So stoked to have this amazing New Mexican restaurant in the neighborhood now! Popped in for lunch with a friend and had an absolute blast! The food was insanely delicious - so fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can tell they put their heart and soul into every dish.Really great vibe! From the colorful tiles to the awesome artwork on the walls, it feels like a little slice of New Mexico right here. Plus, the full bar is a game-changer - their cocktails are just as tasty as the food!We can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. In fact, we're already planning our next visit... this weekend! Our server was also working the room. Friendly and attentive! Thank you!

I am always excited to see new place to try in the neighborhood so when I saw Mexi was opening up I definitely put it on my list. The drinks were pretty good at the place and the service was very good. We didn't feel rushed to leave. We asked for recommendations from the waiter she was amazing ! I have to say she sure knows the food very well. We first ordered an appetizer ahi tuna tostaditas they were great!! The Quesadillas were amazing but the skewers we were disappointed at the taste. They are missing flavor. Wasn't crazy about them. The dessert was wow!! Very different tres leches we have ever had but we loved it!! I think this place has a-lot of potential! Give this place a try ! They are a little on the pricey side but worth it. Also they close early that's the down side. They have amazing music in the background but it would be even better if they would keep it open a little later at least with the bar section open. The bar they have is beautiful and stocked with amazing drink options. The ambience is amazing considering the fact that we don't really have a-lot of latin places in the neighborhood with latin music.

My girls and I stopped in for food after attending Margarita Rumble. We sat at the bar. The restaurant was not crowded. It definitely has a cozy vibe. Which I like. I got their version of the espresso martini and it was goooood! We shared the plates of food. We got short rib birria tacos, chicken nachos quesadilla and guacamole. The guacamole and quesadilla were a HIT. Service was good. Our bartender was Andres and he was lovely. Definitely a great spot to check out if your in the neighborhood.

Service was friendly although slow in the beginning, atmosphere is cozy but restaurant was not packed on a Saturday night.The food is what is really holding this restaurant back, it was just not that tasty. The guacamole has tomatoes on top which I haven't seen before but the actual guacamole itself was not tasty, there was no chunkiness to the avocados which made me wonder where the guacamole came from.The Birria Tacos are $26 and no where near as good as Birria Landia, the consome paired with it was barely flavorful.The drinks here are very good! But the food needs a lot of improvement, especially for the price.For a total of 3 people, we got 2 apps and 3 mains, 1 drink each and 1 dessert total and it was $85 a person, while normal for NYC, what wasn't normal was the quality of the food, which makes me feel like the $85 per person (after tip) was not worth it.

Mexican restaurant with Italian influences and one of the best mezcal selections that I've come across in the world.Peculiar atmosphere. The crowd at the bar are the typical folks I'd expect to see in Williamsburg. The the tables across the bar were filled with families with children. I had a flight of mezcals. A fellow named Christian was in charge of the mezcals. Dude knew his mezcals. One of the most knowledgeable individuals I've spoken to regarding mezcal. He put together a fantastic flight for me. It was pricey but one of the best mezcal tastings that I've had. Food wise, we stated with the avocado mousse with bruschetta creme brûlée salsa and the tuna Serrano aguachile. The salsa was a particularly interesting dish. More in line with a tuna tartare. For the main courses, we shared the pipian chicken mole verde and the masa gnocchi. I preferred the masa gnocchi of the two. It came in a smokier and richer sauce. Closer to a transitional mole but it didn't pack the richness and viscosity that I typically expect from a hallmark mole.For dessert, we shared a chocolate and flan mixed cake. I'd highly recommend Mexi for their mezcal selection.

Highly recommended I stopped by on a Friday night and the place was very busy but just on point. I sat in the bar area and I got to meet "Kevin Alvarez" he was that bartender that night and this guy was incredible, very friendly, professional, and well-known. He recommended the cocktail "El Soldador" and I have to tell you. That cocktail was Lit . I also ate something because u know after a couple of cocktails you get hungry lolI remember getting a salad with some shrimp and it was just delicious. The music was great, the place is well decorated and the staff is there to make sure you have a great experience So if you want to have a great night in a good Mexican place Mexi is the place you should be visiting.
