    Flan and tres leches cake
    3than H.

    Been here twice. Always the best service, best food, and best atmosphere. The carnitas are perfectly seasoned and always juicy. Burritos de puerco always sooooo good. I highly recommend every aspect of Mesquite grill. The perfect place to get dinner before a movie at Tinseltown. I also recommend getting dessert. The flan and tres leches cake are my favorite.

    Baja Tacos
    Brenda O.

    This place is cute. It's decorated with a Mexican theme. Love all the colors. Came here on a Thursday at 5 and got sat right away. It got busy while I was there, which I'm not surprised because the food was really good. They gave us chips and salsa to start. I ordered the Baja tacos, which was my first time trying shrimp in my tacos. I usually get fish. Funny because our server messed up and gave me fish tacos, it looked really good so I wasn't going to say anything and just eat that but the owner came over with my correct dish. It was good, it had so many toppings rice, black beans, cabbage, pico de gallo, cheese and chipotle dressing.. everything on it went so good together, the shrimp were big and the tacos were filled. Yum! The only disappointment was the shrimp wasn't seasoned. This isn't stopping me from going back. I can't wait to try more menu items.

    I was glad that this came with corn tortillas. The yellow rice was flavorful. Service was good and attentive. This is my 2nd visit and enjoyed it much.

    Jalapeño margarita

    Me and my 2 year old daughter came in for dinner on a Monday. It wasn't busy at all. Everyone was very nice and attentive. They have nice Spanish music playing. I ordered a jalapeño margarita (don't worry we had swim classes next door after). The margarita was delicious!! The chips and salsa were complimentary. The salsa appeared to be homemade and it was equally delicious. The staff appeared to be fluent in Spanish which gave it an authentic vibe. The decorations were beautiful inside. The carnitas on the tacos were good. The beans came in this adorable flower tortilla (see pic). Overall we will come back. Service was exceptional.

    Ground Beef Nachos
    Kenya M.

    All the Mexican, all the time. My nachos (making it supreme gets you lettuce and a few extra toppings) were really good. I had asked for half ground beef and half chicken. They put both all over the whole thing. Who's complaining? Not me! The beef was well-seasoned and the chicken was that bland shredded chicken Mexican places love to serve. Hubbo had the enchiladas and a tamale. Kid2 had a chimichanga. We were all pretty happy with our choices! Great service and the refills were timely.

    beef enchilada
    Kelly S.

    Came here for girls night out and some great Mexican food. Started off with a corona light and a frosty cold mug...perfect! Chips and salsa were average. I love enchiladas, so I ordered one beef and one cheese with sour cream. Beef was ok, just not a lot of flavor. Cheese seemed overcooked. A friend ordered the fish tacos and loved them. If I go back,I need to try something else. At lease the beer was good and cold! Our server was friendly and full of recommendations. Very colorful decor throughout the restaurant.

    Chicken Burritos Supremos

    Placed a large order the other night for 5 people. Pick up was smooth and love the drive up window. We usually have a good meals from here, but lately the food has been mediocre. Last nights order consisted of: 1-Carnitas Fajitas 1-Chicken Burritos Supremos 1-Steak Burrito Mesquite 1-Chiles Poblanos (one chicken 1 beef) 1-Flautas 1-churros Blanket agreement across all meals is that all dishes were extremely bland, lacking flavor. Beans were puréed and resembled baby food. The most disappointing was the Chiles Poblanos where the Chiles were large but had minimal filling. Overall extremely disappointing meal and not worth the $90 spent.

    Had lunch in this Mexican restaurant. As soon as you enter the dining section, it feels like you are in Mexico. The decorations, the colors, the music, the smell takes your breath away. The staff was friendly. Our waiter introduced himself was knowledgeable about the menu, the ingredients used, the favorite dishes and was happy to assist and take care of us. They brought tortilla chips and they were crispy and warm. I ordered carnitas/rice/beans/tamal and everything was just delicious and full of flavors that worked and interact perfect with each other. I have to say that the black beans tasted just like Cuban beans (maybe their chef is Cuban ). They lost one star because the tamal was not good at all, it tasted like it was frozen and not fresh, it had lots of cheese on top of it which tells me someone was trying to hide something. I recommend this wonderful authentic Mexican restaurant to everyone. And don't forget to try their Margaritas!

    Taco Tuesday, 5 tacos for $5
    Max K.

    Had a different taco Tuesday experience recently, we were told it's now 5 for 5 and you can't mix hard or soft, chicken or beef. We were a bit disappointed with this. It's fun to mix it up a little. It's possible our waitress gave us wrong information. Not super confident on what the taco Tuesday special is anymore :/ they're technically still only $1 but if you have to buy five of the same that's a little different. They were also out of quite a few beer choices listed on the menu which was a bummer but could be a covid result, just wish the menu had maybe been updated or a note mentioned. The quality of the tacos was the same as before. The food was good and our bellies were extra full since we had ten tacos for two people.

    Sopa de Pollo
    Danielle S.

    This place is amazing! Some of the best Mexican food I've had in Rochester. I'm very excited that Gates has a place like this now. The inside of the restaurant is smaller and the tables are close together, so I can imagine it gets pretty crowded on a busy night. I visited on a Thursday night for dinner and it was busy but not overly crowded. We were seated right away. I loved the bright, colorful decor. The staff was incredibly friendly and our server was the perfect amount of attentive. The chips and salsa that were brought out were great, but I wish there were more chips. I'm sure they would have given us more if we asked, but when we finished them our entrees were already out. I had the Sopa de Pollo (chicken soup) as an appetizer and it was one of the best soups I have ever had. It's pricier at $6.99 for a small-ish bowl, but it is SO worth it. The broth was slightly spicy, there was a ton of chicken, and the pico and avocado were perfect complements. I had the chilequiles for my entree and they were so good. Tons of melted cheese on top of perfectly seasoned pulled chicken. The tortillas got a little soggy, but there's not much you can do about that considering all the cheese and sauce on the chicken. The flavor was so good that I didn't really mind the chips. I had a great dinner here and I can't wait to come back! I really enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and friendliness of the staff.

I come from the central coast in California and grew up with migrant workers from Mexico. It's been hard finding a place that had authentic Mexican food since moving to Rochester but this place can not be more authentic. We had tacos (shrimp, al pastor and carne asada), fried plantains, guacamole, and much more. All fresh ingredients packed with delicious flavor. You must try this place!!!

However, sauces are not automatically included, so be sure to ask for them on the side. Side dishes are often an afterthought at many restaurants, but Chuy's offered several tasty options. *Tacos de Asada y Maduro: featured high quality steak with fried plantains. The plate included three tacos, Mexican beans, and rice. While the meat had a good char, it was slightly dry. Despite the menu listing chipotle crema, the sauce was not included on any of my visits. Its spice and creaminess would have tied the dish together. The plantains were perfectly golden brown and sweet. The beans and rice were both flavorful, though I wished the beans had a more consistent texture, as they varied between watery and refried. *Horchata: top tier cinnamon rice beverage that was nicely sweetened and well spiced. *Flan: was dense and creamy with a sweet, rich caramel sauce. The custard had a beautiful body and was a must order. I have never had a bad meal here, though consistent inclusion of sauces would easily push this spot into five star territory. Chuy's definitely satisfied my Mexican food cravings without leaving me feeling greasy.

We stopped in tonight for my wife's birthday and most of what we got was pretty good. The case it was great enchiladas were fantastic as they always are. The rice and beans leave something to be desired but they always have so that wasn't a particular shock. Our server was okay though it would have been nice if she had been a little bit more on the up and up on getting us refills on our drinks she was still very friendly and got everything correct. When they found out it was my wife's birthday they brought us fried ice cream Sundae that was very good too. There's only one thing that was disappointing tonight and that is their burritos. We have ordered their à la carte burrito a dozen times maybe? It's always been fantastic fairly simple but fantastic. For a couple of extra bucks you could get enchilada sauce and cheese on it and we always really enjoyed it. We noticed when we got there that it was no longer on the menu and instead they had some pre-made burritos to choose from so we did get one of those and it was lower quality than what I would expect or maybe satisfied with then what I'd get at Taco Bell it was that bad. We did tell the waitress who was just kind of like yeah try the one that cost twice as much money lol. Not exactly helpful. Well the crappy short-changed burrito won't stop us from going again we definitely will not be ordering the burritos and I don't recommend you try them either.
