    We had a wonderful meal at MeXo! I ordered the Carne Asada a la Tampiqueña 1939 and it was fabulous. The skirt steak had so much flavor and was cooked perfectly. My dinner partner ordered the Pollo Con Mole Poblano and loved it. If you are in the mood for a delicious meal on a cold winter night, eat at MeXo!

    Hey Kerry, It’s fantastic to hear that you had a wonderful meal at Mexo! The Carne Asada a la Tampiqueña 1939 and Pollo Con Mole Poblano sound absolutely delicious. It’s great to know that the skirt steak was flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Looking forward to serving you again, especially on those cozy winter nights!

    I'm not a restaurant snob for sure, or one to complain for no reason. However, we made a reservation at MeXo after seeing it was named Restaurant of the Year and the brunch menu looked very good and unique. The service was terrible. The food was served cold, my wife waited to return it to the kitchen but our server didn't check on us. The rice was cold and not good. The drinks were good but served very slowly. We mentioned our disappointment in the food to our server and he replied he could get a manager. I didn't feel like dealing with it. The server brought us the bill with zero adjustment of any kind and no apology for our issues.

    First time visit, and was really impressed. Paying attention to the little things like the chips and tortillas being house made and fresh! The roasted corn dip appetizer was sweet and a solid choice! The carne asada was so very good, and my wife got Oscar’s baja tacos and they also were excellent! Such a nice experience that we bought our daughter and son in law a gift card on our way out! Definitely recommend, and will absolutely return!

    Love the decor and having different rooms to keep the noise at an acceptable level. Loved the Huaraches With Morita Falda appetizers and will definitely be back for more! The carne asada melted in the mouth! The flourless chocolate torte was the perfect ending...best I've had - rich taste and not dry like so many tortes I've had. We will be returning soon!

    Service was slow and server never checked on us during meal, took 20 minutes to get a beverage, 4 main menu items were unavailable at 6:30 pm, food we defaulted to was mushy and flavorless. We should've sent the food back but we had a show to get to. The experience was so bad we'll never go back.

    We drove from Cleveland to spend the weekend in Grand Rapids and this restaurant is a big reason why. Absolutely incredible modern Mexican food. This time we had the salsa duo, watermelon salad, an omelette, and bistec ranchero. All excellent, flavorful, fresh, and elevated from typical Mexican food. A+.

    Drinks are good. Service was pleasant. Food is really bland. Got the Wild Boar, gamey (I guess could be expected, however I’ve had it before, there is a way to cook it so that it isn’t this gamey). Poblano stuffed chicken, I think they forgot the Poblano. All sauces needed salt and pepper, just really bland.

    Ordered Baja Tacos which on the menu came with Papaya salsa…kitchen was out of the Papaya salsa and substituted Habanero Salsa instead but did not tell us. One of us was actually crying due to the extreme heat. No apology no compensation. Slow and poor service.
