    What a wonderful meal. Been here 2x now and will return. Service was amazing. Chips and salsa were excellent. Main courses, which were ceviche and the steak and shrimp were unbelievable. Drinks are a little pricey, but the restaurant was worth it. We will be back

    12 nacho chips for $14! Unarmed robbery!!!!

    Over priced garbage! I ordered a nacho, they gave me 12 chips with unmelted cheese, stale guacamole and sour cream‼ All for $13.81! That means I paid $1.15 a chip!!!!! I didn't realize the foolishness until I was back at work for my lunch break! Biggest disappointment ever‼

    Just what Joliet needs! I found it to be a fun and good vibes. Our server Daniella was very attentive and helpful. The girl who dropped off the chips and salsa was great as well. I never felt forgotten about. We had the pineapple jalapeño mezcal which was good, it was a bit Smokey flavor for us, the primavera was very good! For dinner we had the la Catrina and bistec de lomo I thought the steak had a perfect flavor and cooked just right. My wife enjoyed de lomo. The only thing we went crazy about was the beans. But beans are always a subjective choice. Well done staff and owners. Keep up the good work! Maybe have some more menus, the website is hard to read.

    Ceviche

    We're visiting from Anaheim, California, and our family lives here in Joliet. We kind of just picked this place on the spot because the original spot we were thinking of was closing when we were on our way. Honestly, I'm glad we chose this one instead. We started with the queso fundido and las coloraditas quesadillas, and they were both really good! Out of the two, I liked the las coloraditas quesadillas more, but the queso fundido was tasty too. My son had the kids mac and cheese, and he obviously really liked it because he finished it. I had the Ceviche Primavera, and it was good, but I probably wouldn't order it again because it was a bit on the sweet side, which isn't really my thing. Still, I finished it. We also shared the Toro with six shots of our choice. We definitely want to come back to try more stuff. The staff was super friendly and professional--no complaints there. I loved the vibe and how everything looked.

Fue tan malo que las comidas que pedí a través de Uber Eats se dejaron caer y solo terminé con un pedido final de guacamole y una soda por $27; los chips estaban rancios. Así que, ¿estás cobrando $27 por chips rancios y una soda? Adios huevona There is a reason why this place has only two stars. We're new in town and I would absolutely never order from them again.. it was bad enough that the meals I ordered via Uber eats dropped off and I only ended up with a final order of guacamole and a soda for $27, the chips were stale. So you're charging somebody $27 for stale chips and one soda.

I didn't even take pictures because the presentation was quite basic. The carne Asada was not seasoned well and the chicken had us a bit perplexed as to how it was prepared. It was helpful, adding the salsa, but I can't say I would return here if I was in town. the service was was just OK at one point our waitress left and never came back. The ambience was very casual with plenty of seating in the restaurant for big and small groups. I'm always glad to try new places and it was good to try Mexican food in another state to give some perspective.

    It gets the job done - the Burrito had some excitment, but the rest of the experience left…read moresomething to be desired. I'd ordered a Steak Diablo Burrito and a Margarita. Chips and salsa were complimentary at the start of the meal. Before you come after me for looking a gift horse in the mouth: Chips & Salsa aren't technically free, the cost is baked into the meal on the back-end. That said, the quality of these was subpar. The chips were straight out of a bag, the the salsa resembled a thick tomato juice with stuff added more than something deserving the name "salsa." I also did not love the Margarita, for it was too sweet for my taste. I can't say for sure, but I have the unfounded suspicion that these are pre-made in large quantities. The main event was the Steak Diablo Burrito. True to form, the Diablo sauce brought the heat. If you are one for whom Tabasco sauce is at the upper end of your limits, you might want to skip this one. My heat tolerance is such that I needed a little extra water, not a side-order of sour cream. The filling did not skimp on the meat whatsoever, and the protein was tender to boot. While not 'S' tier, I would put it solidly in 'B' territory, with a pinky toe into 'A'. A good test is that I couldn't finish, and happily devoured it cold the next day. The interior is large, and has mostly amber lighting with splashes of color, and some traditional-looking architectural elements. The service was friendly and reasonably fast. Final verdict: If you're itching for a great burrito, while perhaps not the greatest one in the world, La Mex can deliver. However, This comes at a cost of a too-sweet Margarita and chips and salsa leave something to be desired. Recommended? Yes, as a general-purpose Mexican spot. Would Return? Yes, but would skip chips, salsa, and margs.

Vegetarian plate and chile relleno ordered by our table. All tasty food. Glad the salsa verde was a few notches higher on the heat chart. Just what I needed. Dimly lit dining room, colorful light splashes the room corners. We'll be back.
