My partner and I reserved a table online with expectations that we’d sit outside on the rooftop. MEX advertises itself as a rooftop bar, so naturally, we assumed when reserving outdoor seating, that we would get to sit on the rooftop. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. We were informed that rooftop dining is only for parties of 4 or more, which was not specified in the reservation. We observed multiple different people leave the restaurant due to the dissatisfaction of not being able to sit on the rooftop. So, this is definitely a reoccurring issue. The food was subpar as well as the service. Overall we weren’t quite satisfied with our experience here although we were extremely excited to spend our anniversary here.

The food portions were very small but still priced high. We sat outside and that meant plastic cups for your drinks which was weird cause they gave us glass side plates. Something about drinking a $14 drink out of a plastic cup just doesn’t feel right. Tacos were good but laughable at how small they were!

We made a reservation and were seated immediately on the second floor. We were eating our dinner and the manager came up to us to let us know that we were seated in the wrong seats, a party of 16 was going to be coming in for dinner, and were asked to move. We were told that we would have part of our bill taken care of for the inconvenience. The server came over after, gave us our bill as we were eating and did not ask if we needed anything else. We also noticed that the bill was for the full amount even though we were told we would not have to pay the full bill.She then came by to see if we paid the bill. It was almost as though she was wanting us to leave as soon as possible. The interesting thing is that the table we were sitting at originally was empty. So I am not sure if it was even necessary to move. When we left, I told the manager that we did not have good service and were charged the full amount. The server was right there and proceeded to argue with us. Luckily, the manager told her to step away and we went outside to talk about what happened. He was very understanding and offered for us to go have a free drink on the roof deck which we declined. He did give us his card and told us to email him when we decided to come back and we will be taken care of. He did mention that the server was having some personal issues but as far as I am concerned, this is business and she was not a good server. I was so disappointed because we have always had the best service when we got to MEX.

It was awful. Our reservation was for 8:30 and the manager said we were good to go on the rooftop. He made it seem like we only had to wait a few minutes to get up there. We didn’t get seated until 9:45. I asked the manager what the disconnect was and he tried to explain that we were unable to reserve the rooftop table (he didn’t tell us this beforehand) and tried to say since he gave us free nachos we shouldn’t be mad. Drinks were missing and many things were forgotten. No silverware for some of us. Overall just really bad for experience. Sad because it was my friends birthday ☹️

Food is yummy yummy yummy! Portion size is small and I had to order seconds because I was famished. So if you’re looking to fill up, might not be the ideal place unless you don’t mind ordering a few rounds of tacos. It is however a nice “let’s have a drink and hangout” place!

The food was super tasty, but the menu was a bit confusing. The tacos were small, and we got two (for $19) without any sort of side. They also came first for one diner, and the rest of us had to wait quite a long time for our food. If you don't mind a longer experience where perhaps you're sharing what comes, as it comes, then this might be the place for you.

We had THE BEST time here!!! I made reservations here for a Saturday night as a birthday dinner. When we arrived, I was told that they were going to seat us outside which wasn't what I had asked for as it was still pretty chilly. We accepted the table but ultimately decided that it was way too cold for us. I made another reservation as we sat there to be inside, and they were great about accommodating us. The hostess was so cool that he sent us a plate of nachos for the misunderstanding with the table, on the house! The atmosphere is a lot of fun, great latin music playing, TONSSSS of tequila and fun decor. The drinks and food were just delicious. We ordered a lobster taco, sushi tacos and shrimp ceviche. Everything was incredibly flavorful and delicious, and the drinks were ON POINT! Towards the end of the evening, the hostess made his way upstairs, I believe his name was Isaac, and he wanted to know how everything was, and we said that it would be even better with dessert (right now Mex doesn't have a dessert menu). He was like, "we can make that happen!" He called their sister restaurant to get us 3 cannoli's to end our meal! He definitely went above and beyond and we had an exceptional time here. Will definitely be returning!

The food is delicious but a bit expensive - $15 for two tiny street tacos is a bit crazy, even if the tacos were great. Some of the appetizers are more reasonable size like the nacho plate and queso dip. The drinks were pretty tasty. The music was SO LOUD, but thankfully I think other folks complained, and they turned it down. It was 3:30p on a Thursday after all, not 9pm on a Friday. I had actually been in a few days before and the music was also pretty loud, though that was a bit later in the evening on a Tuesday. Overall, tasty food, but a little more expensive than I'd like to pay. I'd keep this as a good drinks and appetizers place, but maybe not a full dinner place.

I’ve been here a few times now and the experiences have been great. The margaritas are lovely, I’ve tasted La Flaca, La Piña, Watermelon Basil and The Mangonada, all yummy. The tacos are just as delicious, however, the eggplant tacos could be better like the first day I went. It’s more slices of eggplant now rather than being fully cooked. The carne asada tacos delicious, the agave wings delicious, Baja tacos are yummy. The bartenders are so live, active and attentive. Always a good time and will recommend to all.

The food was pretty good. The ambiance was unexpectedly loud hip hop/club music which made a conversation difficult without raising our voices quite high. The service was friendly but slow and confused. So while our waiter was nice, she wasn’t particularly good and took a long time to bring simple items such as a beer or chips/guacamole.

Food was not good and definitely not worth the price. Super loud with music. The salsa tasted like tomato paste. Very disappointed. The host was super friendly and probably the best part of the restaurant. Cocktail was good, pricey but most drinks are now a days. Never got silverware until half way through dinner.

Beautiful venue. Food is okay but not for the price. You get fancy ish versions of normal tacos. I'd dine here on someone else's money. It not on my own. Cocktails were also mediocre and overpriced. Worst part was the service - we approached the hostess who didn't respond to us at all and only talked with her colleagues. When a waiter came to sit us down, they didn't introduce themselves, so we actually didn't even know we were supposed to follow him. They then seemed possibly irritated with us and the waiter who finally spoke to us after his third visit seemed way too relieved to not have to serve our table. As an Asian person and a psychiatrist, I'm used to terse service and strange people, but I have to say that this was some of the strangest service I've ever had. It was enough to kill the mood (and yes I work in asylums) , and my fiancee and I found ourselves wondering if we had offended the staff or if they disliked how we wore masks / the fact we were Asian.

Went here with friends for my birthday and it was absolutely AMAZING!!!! Without requesting it, they put us upstairs on the third floor in a more private room with a Pac Man and a private bar. Our waiter was so attentive and willing to make recommendations on the food, which was great. They went above and beyond by getting dessert from a place nearby to make my birthday special. Would recommend to anyone looking for a trendy, fun dinner with friends on a special occasion.

The food and drinks were very subpar -- uninventive, overpriced, and nothing that I'd care to have again. The mango fuego margarita was sickeningly sweet, with no hint of the promised mezcal smokiness or spice. I've had better birria tacos at Mexican restaurant chains like Chilacates (in fact, their tacos were far superior). Even the tortilla chips and queso at Mex were disappointing. Mex is a lot of style but not much substance.

Nice place with friendly servers and good food. A bit pricey for what you get. The music, although they have a great playlist, was SUPER loud - beyond just fun and upbeat. It was legitimately tough to have a conversation at 6 pm on a Tuesday night. So if they could turn it down a few notches, it would be much better.
