This place was incredibly impressive. Dropped in on a random whim and although the menu was lengthy I decided to try the appetizer platter. Everything was delicious. I will be back to try the brunch items! *I'm not sure if I didn't read any signage but they enforce extra grat for parties of 6 or more so if you plan to drop in with a large group, heads up read more

I loved the lemonades here. So fun that they have so many different flavors. I got either passion fruit or mango and my friend got blue raspberry. So refreshing. So good. The rice and beans were like your average Mexican restaurant mind. I enjoyed my chorizo tacos. The green salsa was very delicious too. Provided the spice my tacos needed. Our server was kind and brought us more limes too. They have booths and tables for you to dine in. read more

Stopped on a Tuesday noonish, about 1/3 of the tables were occupied at the time. This is a walk up to the counter and order restaurant from a decent but not large menu. They serve typical Mexican/American foods like tacos, burritos, enchiladas, etc. The restaurant is not large but is clean and nicely decorated. Service was friendly and efficient, the food was brought to the table after just a short wait. It was fresh and hot. I ordered the ground beef enchiladas with green sauce. The order comes with 3 enchiladas topped with pickled red onions and avocado slices (sour cream as well but I'm not a fan so asked for it to be left off), Mexican rice and refried beans. I'm partial to a spicy green sauce. This one did not disappoint, it was creamy, rich and full of the spicy flavors I enjoy. The ground beef in the enchiladas was also nicely spiced, something that isn't always the case elsewhere. The rice and refried beans were standard fare and good. I was pleasantly surprised by the service and food and would definitely recommend this place. They do have a bar and serve alcoholic drinks as well. My bill came to about $20 , for the meal and a canned soda, not including tax and tip. I was full when I left, enjoyed the meal so I thought it was worth the cost. read more

We ordered takeout from work yesterday. I see it has some mixer reviews. I love atmosphere in a restaurant so I definitely would not ever go and eat in at this place, but it was perfectly fine for takeout. I had steak tacos, pico style. I had the meal so it came with rice and beans. The rice was really good. The refried beans had some melted queso on top and they were decent as well. This is not a five star establishment so you can't go expecting that but it was some pretty good food and I probably wouldn't mind having it again. read more

I ordered through DoorDash but returned to dine in person this time. I ordered the taco trio with shrimp, chicken, and steak. It came with a side of rice and beans. It was all flavorful. I got them the classic way with onions and cilantro. I also got a side of Mexican street corn because it's one of my favorite dishes, and this was top-tier, too. For the table, we ordered the queso, which was good. I also got a Jarritos fruit punch. Service was quick. read more

Second time here I brought back my cup for the $6 Paloma and had the build your own bowl. I just put in ALLLLL the free stuff plus jalapeños and guacamole. The guac portion was small, but the bowl was GIANT. It was delicious, great the second day as leftovers and I'd get it to share next time. The servers were able to get us a second round at the table instead of getting back in line. read more

I've been here four times and it's been excellent every time. Great burritos and tacos.

This was the new restaurant of the week to try out. This is in the new concept that is popping up all, the resident mall which I just don't get because I wouldn't want to live in a busy mall. The place is small and colorful with no real table service, Culver's like with place your order at the register and put your plastic number on the table. I ordered the taco dinner to go because it was packed with one steak up charge, pastor and ground beef with cilantro and onions that comes with rice and beans. I tasted a sample of everything and I defiantly didn't care for the the non traditional flavors of the meats, beans, rice and sauces. Everything looked good but the flavors were like this is hipster Mexican and we do it differently here. The tacos were oily and small with dry steak and moist pastor. Overall the flavor profiles of my food were not traditional Mexican flavors so if that's what your looking for than this isn't the place, maybe it's a fusion Mexican thing, I don't know. read more

Date of visit: December 8, 2023 I believe Mex Avenue replaced another Mexican restaurant that didn't make it, so I was a bit wary of trying it but this was a work celebration lunch so I figured that I didn't have much to lose since it wasn't on my dime! It's counter service but staff was very friendly and provided suggestions and options for each of us. When I asked to confirm that the quesadilla didn't have any onions or tomatoes, she confirmed but mentioned that the ground beef was cooked with peas and carrots, which I appreciated. Those veggies aren't an issue for me, but was glad that she verified as some folks would have not taken the time to throw that in! We also went with some chips and salsa; there are two kinds of salsa, one for gringos such as me and another that is seriously hot, so avoid the green salsa if you're a wimp like me! The chips were warm and appeared to be homemade--we did not leave any behind! I really enjoyed my quesadilla and found the rice to be excellent as well. Food arrived quickly and staff came around to clear dishes and bring more water as needed, though I did wish the water cups were a bit larger or a carafe/pitcher was provided as it seemed wasteful to bring me a new plastic cup each time! In terms of ambiance, it's decorated in a way that fits the theme, but also doesn't encourage hanging around, as the chairs and benches are a bit hard, so don't come here for a long strategy or study session, your bum will not appreciate it. Outside of that, it was a great visit! read more

My husband and I decided to stop here for Mexican food. It was a really busy but luckily we found a table. You order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. The ambiance was fun they were playing good Latin music. The service was fast and I was surprised because it was so busy. We ordered quesabirria taco plate and chips and guacamole as an appetizer. The quesabirria tacos were delicious and authentic it came with the consomé, onion and cilantro, and the side of rice and beans. Quesabirria tacos are not super easy to find in Mexican restaurants so I'm glad we tried them. The strawberry margarita on the rocks I ordered was good and it came in a cute little cup you can take home with you. Definitely recommend this place, we will be coming back to try more food. read more

A great spot for drinks, dinner or dessert. We were headed there specifically for the mini churro cart as I'd seen it online but called some family members to see if they wanted to meet there. They hadn't eaten dinner yet so they grabbed an actual meal and were thrilled with what they got and have even gone back already. But the churro cart was definitely the highlight. It comes out with a giant sparkler and more churros than we could eat alone with two sauces and two ice creams. Just a really fun little treat. They also have a margarita tower that looks fun but we just got one large strawberry margarita to share and it was delicious. The cart took a bit to come out but meals were made very quickly. The restaurant has been newly redo and has a fun and festive atmosphere to go with their fun options. We will definitely be back read more

I've eaten here 3-4 times. The food is delicious - even the beans and rice are excellent. They provide two squeezable sauces (red and green) plus they provide table service after you walk in and pay. Highly recommend the food. Only thing is price. I got a burrito plus chips and guacamole and tap water which was over $30 with tip. read more

I was really pleased visiting this location. I had it saved to go visit when I returned back home and I'm glad that I did. The location was really clean. The service was pretty quick. I may not understand that people in front of me don't know how to order and look at the menu before they get up there, but that has no ground for the workers there who tried to work diligently to get customers in and out as quickly as possible, I really enjoy my chimichanga. The steak was flavored. I did not like the sour cream. I do like a thicker sour cream but again that's not here nor there it's not something to mark it down the star for just because of my preference the margaritas tower to me was a little too sweet, but it still got the job done so I still fell asleep with no problem after having about two of those after that tree overall definitely plan on visiting again very soon. read more

Relatively authentic Mexican food served up very, very fast. Vegetarian tacos hit the spot but the steak chimichangas were lacking. I'd skip the chips and queso if I were you. Small portion, high price tag. Overall, I thought the prices were steep and there is no soda machine which I was surprised by - made drink options a little limited but a bottle of Jarritos soda is always a good choice (if you ask me). They also had frozen alcoholic drinks including a snowman and Grinch themed Christmas drink which I thought was cute but did not try. The menus are displayed on a big board on the wall right when you walk in. No paper menus. You place your order at a counter and then grab a seat of your choosing. Most patrons did carry out when we ate here (Sunday at around 6pm). The place did fill up pretty fast and by the time we left there were limited tables available. Service was friendly and you tip before sitting down, if you want to. The floor was insanely slippery - honestly it was like someone spilled a vat of grease on the floor. I mention this because I nearly slipped several times while walking to the restroom. Not sure I would eat here again but I am curious about their brunch offerings. read more

Solid -probably a 3.5 overall. Mex Avenue is located in the Mayfair collection. It's pretty new so we decided to give them a shot for lunch. The interior is bright and colorful, with a long open kitchen. You'll place your order at the register and your items will be brought out. Or you can grab a table and order via QR code - very efficient. If you want chips & salsa you have to order them ($5) - we didn't on this visit. I went for the taco plate ($13) which netted me 3 very full double shelled tacos. I thought the chicken was pretty good - nice flavor. The beans were nothing exciting but I really liked their rice. The mister had a Mexi burrito which is covered in queso ($16). He really liked the queso but the burrito was smaller than I expected for the price. The people working were really nice & our food came out fast. There is a bar, with a 32oz margarita available if that's your jam. read more

Great lunch here today. The space is bright and welcoming. They have a small dining space since they converted a portion of it to a bar but that allows a larger beverage selection! I'm slightly bummed by the small charges for things like cheese ($.15) and a cup for water ($.20) which aren't on their menu when you order at the register. However, the service was great, the food came out fairly fast and it was delicious. I would definitely come back and try the tacos again (and other items). The ground beef was surprisingly my favorite followed by the pastor then finally the chicken. Their pico had great flavor and they serve small salsas on the side. The green one was great! The refried beans were pretty salty but still good. read more

The rice the refried beans are good. 3 taco plate disappeared quick. For me the steak recipe is very The nature is in the spice. At least I hope that's cumin. Dry. The cooking skills are there. The recipe needs tuning in my opinion. Opinion The burrito The flautas authentic, maybe. For me mine are much more blan. Cooking Skills the flautas rapped golden brown evenly plated with beans and rice in a fair portion . The order taking was okay. The seasoning seems out of proportion. Didn't like the attitude at the pickup area . All together for this visit 2 1/2 stars . Calculating potential 3. A little shot of Patron can relax the appetite if you have a designated driver.

This last Friday I ate at this business. The restaurant was clean and the staff was all very friendly. You place your order at the counter and then pay and find a table they bring the food to your table. The food was very fresh and the food tasted good. The guacamole was delicious.

We started with the guacamole, and it was pretty decent, which gave me high hopes for the tacos, and other items we ordered. However, guacamole was the High Point, and it was all downhill from there. The flavoring wasn't great, quality of the ingredients was poor, and there was a lot of oil dripping out. Won't be back. read more

A new favorite spot! I find myself doing a little happy dance every time I'm here. A fun, vibrant , laid back fast-casual Mexican restaurant in the Mayfair Collection. The food and drinks are fantastic and decently priced. They have $2 tacos on Tuesdays and BOGO margaritas on Thursdays. I especially enjoy the breakfast burritos and 32oz horchata! I also really enjoy that they play upbeat and fun Mexican music. It is very noticeable to me how good/happy I feel every time I stop in. If you look at my other restaurant reviews, you will see this is not a typical review for me. I love this place! read more

The ambiance is not what I was expecting but not bad either. It's more like a fast food restaurant but with authentic Mexican food. You order right away at the counter and they bring your food out to your table. I really enjoyed my beef flautas. They were crunchy, and stuffed with juicy shredded beef. The toppings and side of sour cream were perfect. I wish there was more sour cream and a side of guac too. The margarita I had was great and they have a few flavors to pick from. The rice and beans were ok, they could have more flavor. read more

Stopped by after a day of shopping around the area for lunch. They have a large menu on the board when you walk in and I'm not sure if they had smaller ones - but I think it would be helpful if they did so we could read it more closely. I got the quesabirria taco plate that had juicy meat with beans and rice on the side. It tasted great! My husband got the chicken tacos (you can either get them more traditional style with cilantro and onion or with lettuce/pico/cheese) and he got both. He really liked them and said the chicken was well made and was flavorful. My mom got the nachos and said the chips were fresh. The meat was well cooked and tender. They had TONS of toppings on the nachos and I love the addition of marinated onions. The weird thing is they asked if we wanted lettuce then charged extra for lettuce. It wasn't much so it was fine. The vegetables were all fresh. Once you order at the counter they bring your food to you - the vibe is more chill than a restaurant but still just as clean and nice/nicer than fast food. They also bring the food out quickly which is a plus. Highly recommend! read more

For a Monday night this establishment was packed with only a few spots left for single patrons. The taco plate ($13) and a can of soda ($2) was overpriced in my opinion. If the taco plate was priced at about $10-11 I wouldn't complain as much. Service was great with people coming around getting your empty plates/trays as you finish in hopes to quickly get people in and out to enjoy sit down dining on busy nights. read more

Food and drinks were good but the customer service just wasn't there. I ordered the chimichanga plate and asked if it was just meat and cheese inside, the lady at the register told me yes just meat and cheese. Our table's food comes out and there appears to be peas and tomatoes in the chimichangas. As I bring it back to let the cashier know about their mistake, her and the cook began arguing with me saying that the food was fine and there was no veggies in the chimichanga. Like how are you a cook and don't even know what's in the food? The manager with the botched glute implants then told us to calm down, and said that their ground beef does come with veggies mixed within. They offered something else from the menu instead but overall don't need to come back. $63 for chimichangas and drinks I'm good love. read more
