    Messy Nachos w/ Picadillo
    Michelle B.

    Stopped in after seeing enough posts online about it. It was early on a Saturday morning. Outside was crazy packed with kids parties. The inside didn't have anyone else other than one at the bar. The nachos were my favorite. My husband had ordered the shredded beef breakfast plate. His plate took at least ten minutes longer it felt like than the rest of us. Honestly overall I wasn't overly impressed with some of the items. The carne didn't have as much flavor as I wanted. The barbacoa was so greasy that it shot at my stepson.

    Wanted margaritas and enchiladas for Labor Day and got a few recos from a FB foodie group. Decided to try La Mex. I have to give the experience a mixed review. Let's start w the good. - Chicken tostados were delicious. Best part of the meal. - I had sangria and my Wife had strawberry frozen margarita. Both delicious - Son #1 ordered veggie fajitas. He gave them a thumbs up - Son #2 ordered beef fajitas quesadillas. Again, thumbs up. Please note...these boys are greedy! Now the not so good. - the food came out oddly from a timing standpoint. I would assume most restaurants bring appetizers as ready and then entrees all together. The tostados and chips & queso came out together, but it was odd for me from there. - my wife ordered fajita quesadillas and they came first. 10 min later my son's fajita quesadillas came out, 5 miniutes late other son's veggie fajitas came out, 10 min after that my beef fajita enchiladas came out over 20 minutes after first entree came to the table. They enchiladas weren't great and the wait didn't help. Not the best family dining experience. Overall the food was decent, but not quite what we expected. I wanted to love La Mex, but it was just an ok experience overall. All things considered 3.5

    I was looking for a Mexican restaurant in the area and La Mex came up. You order at the counter. They had lunch specials and I ordered a cheese quesadilla on corn tortillas with rice and beans. The quesadillas had plenty of cheese. The rice and beans were good too. But the beans were lukewarm. The waiter offered me salsas. I asked for the mildest one. I was given a tangy green salsa to put on my quesadillas. It was still spicy but good. There are no chips and salsa included with your meal. I sat outside and unfortunately there were flies. This restaurant is esthetically pleasing. The outdoor seating looks out to a courtyard. I should have complained about the temperature of the refried beans but I was hungry and wanted to finish up and go. Overall, my plate of quesadillas was good.

    La Mex spicy margarita.

    Was very underwhelmed! The spicy margarita was extremely small & was all ice and seemed quite a long time to prepare even though the bar was not busy! Definitely not worth $12.95! No staff follow-up (even after stating was first time there).

    Excellent addition to the Stomping Grounds. Counter-service style Tex-mex. Indoor/outdoor seating - great if you have kids that want to run around outside on the green - and also has a full bar for the parents. We ordered mixed fajitas for two - lots of beef and chicken and barely finished. Delicious onions under the fajitas. Served with rice, beans, and guacamole . Also had a chips and queso app. Overall the only room for improvement would be chips/salsa being served with each meal as is pretty normal at Mexican restaurants. It was busy but it was hard to tell as most customers were dining outside with their kids. Which made inside a nice retreat. Check it out!

    Sadly - mediocre food. Queso was lumpy and didn't seem fresh. Main meal was only slightly above warm. Taste was just ok.

For the price I did wish it had a little more.

Parking: Tons of parking here surprisingly, both a paved lot and a pebble lot. We had a reservation for 3 at 7PM and were promptly seated at a booth after a small line of people. Order-to-Appetizer: 15 Minutes Order-to-Entrees: 30 MInutes For three people, we ordered: Dairymaid's Cheese Board (4/5): Comes with four cheeses, five small pieces of sourdough, honey-spritzed grapes, green Granny Smith apples, and fava beans. I wish they gave us more bread with the cheeses and preserves. The four cheeses provided were slices of a five-year aged Cheddar, Oveja Anejo, Tomarashi, and Gruyere. I enjoyed the Tomarashi the most. It is a bit pricey for what you get, but very sharable and a great starter. Shady Acres Pizza with prosciutto (3.5/5): I really don't like getting thin crust pizza that isn't crispy, and unfortunately this was a soggy thin crust pizza. The toppings themselves were very flavorful, and the end parts were crispy enough. 5 Cheese Calzone with chicken (3.5/5): Whew, five cheeses makes for a salty calzone. The side marinara sauce provides a good balance. It's very filling. Chicken might have been a good addition because prosciutto might have made it too salty. It was larger than expected which was nice for sharability. Service was kind of iffy. They were pretty rude with not providing us utensils and seeming almost angry that we asked for some for the cheese board. They mixed up our order (we asked for chicken on the pizza and prosciutto on the calzone and they flipped it) and seemed almost apologetically serving us afterwards. Overall, would recommend as a relaxed date spot at a reasonable price. I paid via inKind and applied referral credit with no issues. Would come back with inKind credit, probably not at full price.

The listing for this exact location says "pets welcome," so I felt confident stopping by. However, as soon as I walked in, I was greeted by two customers fawning over my dog. Before any staff member greeted me or even acknowledged me as a customer, someone from behind the far counter told me that dogs were not allowed inside. I mentioned that their Google listing says pets are welcome, and the response was that it applies to a different location. That would be fine if it were clear, but the listing I checked had this location's address directly underneath "pets welcome." That is confusing and misleading. What made it more frustrating was the lack of hospitality. There was no greeting, no attempt to clarify kindly, no "We're sorry for the confusion," and no effort to offer a solution like helping me quickly order to go. It felt dismissive. Clear and accurate information matters. If pets are not welcome at this location, the listing should reflect that. I drove out of my way based on that detail, and it ended up being a waste of time and gas. Because of that experience, I chose not to patronize the this location but may try another location one day.
