Ordered pickup. Food was ok. I specifically asked if the 2 meals I ordered included chips & salsa. The chips were stale and lacking in abundance to say the least. Look at the pictures...Ridiculous!! read more

Love this spot. Ordered the Monterey burrito which was A+. The chips and salsa were so fresh! The vibe is very chill and colorful. The kind of place that makes you feel at home. Excellent and friendly service. It's clear why this spot had been around for a long time. read more

My husband and I had not been there since before the pandemic. We would always order shrimp or chicken fajitas. They were always on point, well seasoned and sizzling. However, last night we ordered shrimp fajitas and they were soggy. There was literally no seasoning. They were very bland. The salsa was runny and bland. The chips were tough and not salted. The reason I'm giving it a three instead of one is because the margarita was very very good. I had a top shelf. Margarita and I cannot begin to explain how really good it was. The staff was very pleasant and attentive. The ambience was good. I think next time I go if I go again, I'm going to bring some of my own seasoning to spice it up a bit. read more

Sonia was an awesome server!!! Excellent service, outstanding food, great atmosphere and a butt-kicking mango margarita! I'm not supposed to drink but couldn't help it! Wow! It was so nice sitting outside in the sum and conversing with family and sipping margaritas. Sonia was so patient and gracious. The tacos and guacamole were fresh and tasty. I'll be back read more

The food was very delicious that my boyfriend and I finished it all! Plus the service is very friendly and they are quick, too! Inside the restaurant the atmosphere is like going into a Mexican festival. It's a little pricey, but it's worth it! read more

All I can say is yummy and excellent service!!! Margaritas are to be enjoyed! Do you want to swim in it or drink it! The food is delicious, love the chimichanga!! read more

Was with a big group for dinner. Not once did the waiter ask if I need anything all he cared about was the customers that had alcoholic beverages! Was given wrong food but did not know it because it was similar to mine. Staff did not seem to care and did nothing to rectify the situation. Once I received what I ordered and started eating it I did not care for it at all! Mine had chicken and the chicken was horrible! If I didn't split the bill with 3 other people then they would not received a tip from me! read more

Had dinner at La Mex with my family. We started by ordering 3 regular margaritas (12 oz, medium size). The service was very good. Our waitress was cordial and attentive. The salsa is very bland and watery. The food was very average for an authentic Mexican restaurant. We were shocked when we got the bill. We were charged $60 for the 3 margaritas. When asked about the high price, we were told prices are going up. My local Mexican restaurant in St. Louis charges $7.95 for a medium size margarita. La Mex is highway robbery. Won't ever be going there again. read more

Went to LA mex last night for nachos. That was a big mistake they were horrible. It looked like somebody threw up in the box and tasted even worse. It was bland and nachos were soggy. Won't go there again. read more

Love going to La Mex, this was our second visit to the Morris location, but we ordinarily do go to the LaMex in Joliet. The main think i like about La Mex ( besides the Margaritas obviously and food lol) is that it is a laid back restaurant nice and quiet. A nice place to go for a date in my opinion . Keep in mind that I'm married but We like it for the privacy and it's a bit romantic with the lighting. I can't stand when places have bright lights! They really have good food and great salsa! I love the Chili rellenos! My husband loves the Tampiquena. Give it a try !! Have a Margarita!!! read more

All of the food was good although it seems they used a lot of canned ingredients like the cheese on the Nachos Supreme and the complementary salsa. The carne asada dinner came with a nice size cut of steak and rice and beans. The server was attentive and came back often to make sure everything was good. There aren't too many Mexican restaurants in this area so if you're looking for Mexican, this is a good option. read more

We went to La Mex on a Saturday night. It was busy but we got seated pretty much right away. They have a large menu which includes some smaller sized plates. The chips and salsa were good. The salsa had just enough heat to it. I ordered an enchilada dish which came with rice and beans. I asked for extra salsa because that's what I always do. The chicken in the enchiladas was good. It was all white meat. But I have to agree with some of the other posters...the rice was bland as was the red sauce on my enchiladas. Even with the extra salsa, it just seemed to be missing something . I have not tried any of the other Mexican restaurants in the area, but I know sometimes in rural areas in some parts of the country, you won't get authentic ethnic cuisine. This was okay for what it is. read more

Been going to LaMex Morris for about 5 years, usually food is decent, today, I found quality is gone. Ordered the"Fabulouso" dinner which is supposed to have skirt steak "carne asada". I can't describe what kind of meat it is( look and taste like marinaded thin cut sirloin. Margarita was ok, bean and rice were bland. I will not return, go to Joliet location. Better tasting food read more

This is home of the best margaritas I have ever had in my life. The food is authentic and absolutely fantastic.

After many attempts, they have failed me. I gave them like 5 chances and only 1 they came through. Each time my order was cooked incorrectly and once addressed (I ordered out) they offered to fix it next time. I finally gave up. The service (over the phone was great). Going into the restaurant is very dark. Much darker then the Joliet location which IMO is a lot bigger. The chips and salsa are ok, if you are really hungry. read more

Arrived at this restaurant in more of a "Hangry Mood" I was greeted by a warm receptionist great ambiance and delicious food! Great restaurant that hasn't let me down yet! Big THUMBS UP! read more

Great good. Awesome fresh guacamole! Love the queso dip. Never had bad food once Will order again and again

Had never been to the Morris location and always been a fan of Joliet. Disappointed in the Margarita. Very very salty. We told the server and she said they would make a new mix. Got a second and it was the same. Food was decent. read more

We have been comming here for at least 20 years some times twice a month. I dont know if they have changed owners but last night every plate my family received was very bland and had no flavor. I usally get the Diablo dinner which is very spicy but tonight it was so HOT!!! It was inedible. Dont know what you have changed but put it back or we won't be. read more

I had camarones ranchero-fantastic (asked for extra lime and cilantro) service was great. The rest of my family had a taco salad, burrito and a burger ( gringo, lol) Salsa was hot, to my pleasant surprise. The lighting is fun, does not compliment the food!!!!!! Mexican food is bright, festive full of contrast and not only delicious but alive!!!!!!! Their lighting makes everything, including Heinz ketchup, brownish in color :( Friday 5/15 was are first time back to Morris in over a year ( visited Joliet location several times, loved it) discovered Tobby's,( when Morris location was under construction) so good and was like visiting a good friend! (I lived near 47th and Ashland often enjoyed food from Atotonilco. La Mex has great atmosphere read more

i order my dinner lunch dinner was 898 plus drink it was over 14 buck so i left and eat somewhereelse cheaper quit going back i got sick on there food read more

If your a big fan of microwave food this is the place for you. Runny gas station salsa is top of the list. About the only thing right was the beer was cold. My friends liked there mixed drinks. The microwaved steak Diablo was absolutely terrible. Cold to the touch, the chess wasn't even melted. Cold rice and beans. Just down right terrible. The waitress was to busy talking in the drink room so I couldn't even send it back. If your in morris and looking for good mexican food go to taco bell it's probably better. (P.s. I don't even like taco bell) read more

We walked through the front door and had no question what type of ethnic restaurant we chose. This place is nicely decorated with beautiful murals, plants, and red, orange, and green lighting. This is our second visit there and I would have to say the food and drinks are great! Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday are 1/2 price margaritas! The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because on both occasions we had waitresses that weren't the greatest. They either spoke very seldom like they were extremely shy or did not visit the table until we made eye contact and called them over. read more

La Mex - Taco salad and steak combination meal at La Mex in Morris - Mexican Near Me - Morris, Illinois

Hubby likes their steak. Their chicken dishes are good, white meat. 1/2 price margarita nights are a big draw for us. ALL of their margaritas are included, even pitchers. They definitely do not water them down. We like the chips and salsa, although I don't like scorchingly hot food either. Everything is fresh and flavorful. I guess if I wanted very authentic ethnic food, I wouldn't be looking for it in Morris. read more

It is what it is. A wanna-be Lalo's in Morris. Not that Lalo's is the best in Mexican food but La Mex doesn't even meet or exceed them. The service at La Mex iffy. It depends on which teenager is working as hostess. As far as the waitresses go, I've had an amazing one and a horrid one. The food is ok depending on what you order. The salsa is watered down as much as possible while still resembling salsa. I've been there a few times because my companions love it. Go figure. I much prefer Tobby's on Liberty. Maybe not the elegant Mexican atmosphere that La Mex provides but the food is a whole hell of a lot better. read more

Pretty good - mostly standard mexican food. Had some enchiladas - they were good. Rice is a little plain. Service was good. Prices are in line with other "standard" mexican restaurants. read more

Liked the food a lot. Service was fairly good. Nice atmosphere. Wasn't very crowded for a Saturday night, but we were there a little early.

Very tasty! Great value for lunch! It is rather dark inside!!! Thursday is cheap burrito day read more

La Mex - Yummy pork verde burrito !!! Yum!! - Mexican Near Me - Morris, Illinois

Sara P nailed it. Large portion of piping hot food served by a gracious and friendly staff, but... Something is missing and it's "flavor". This might be the most bland Mexican food I've ever had. It has a following and was quite crowded when I wrote this, but I won't be joining them again. read more

Like Brian F's wife, I hate the red lighting. Just plain creepy atmosphere, and ate in total silence. No music, t.v., a bright and cheery plant. Nothing. Lukewarm food, the 1/2 price drinks were $4.00 even then!!! On a non- special day, paying the normal $8.00 !!! for mostly ice, and sweet sour syrup, you have GOT to be kidding! Luke warm food, order was wrong, and I could not tell what the heck I was even eating. We have not been there in a while, and thought we would try a lunch, but NO NO never again. Coal City, Diamond,and just up Liberty Street is much better. Wish I had my $32.00 back. read more

I love the food here. House margaritas are very good. The staff have always been attentive, and the food is very good. The carne Asada....Yumm and their enchiladas are among the best I have had in mid America. read more

Service is always fast and good but the food is just okay Mexican. It is always warm and well presented but on the bland side. The place gets busy on their 1/2 price Margarita nights. When it is busy it gets loud and echoes. read more

The food is good, service excellent. Prices very fair. I took a motorcycle ride with my daughter few years ago, after long ride we went to La Mex for dinner. To our disappointment there was a wedding going on. as we discussed where to go to eat the father of bride, and I think owner approached us and invited us in for dinner. I explained my attire sleeveless t, with tattoos showing would be inappropriate for occasion but we were very pleased with the offer. It's been several years but this gesture make me enjoy La Mex every time I go there. highly recommended in Morris. read more

Went for lunch. Sat right away , host was very friendly. Yummy chips n salsa. I ordered enchiladas and my daughter ordered chicken chimi. We both shared fried icecream. We will be regulars for sure read more

Our favorite restaurant! They welcome you like family and the service is great. Best Margaritas ever and the food is delicious.

Food was hot but I asked for queso cheese and got some melted yellow cheese that looked like it came out of a can...not impressed for my first time and probably won't be back...as an otr truck driver I've had some amazing mexican food and some not so amazing as well...this ranks with some of the worst...I'm sorry but it's more like American mexican food than real mexican food and doesn't have much flavor...want a real mexican experience try Los 3 burritos in coal city read more

Once again, yes, you're in Morris. Don't compare it to City places. And yes, the family that owns and runs and cooks in it are actually Mexican from Mexico. However, this is TEXICAN food. It's supposed to have some american aspects, and it's not going to be caked with spiciness. The salsa is an old family recipe that is made with the same ingredients as it always has been, Texican salsa is watery by nature, so don't complain. It's not going to blow your mind, but the booze is fabulous, and the ambiance is cute. Reasonably priced and very big portions. read more
