Fried Chicken Tacos
Lynette R.

We chose to sit in the bar area which was a good move. The dining area was a bit noisy as we heard the conversation coming from the other area. The bar area is quiet and lighting is dimmer so a bit more relaxing. Chris the bartender had a nice laid back demeanor and provided many refills of our drinks. I had the Fried Chicken Tacos which were delicious! My boyfriend had the Curry Vegetable Tacos. Not too overpowering in flavor and nice change from standard tacos. It is a bit expensive for tacos but was a nice evening out nonetheless.

First time trying this restaurant while visiting Michigan, and overall it was a good experience. The ambience and atmosphere were amazing ,especially since we went during Valentine's Day week with a group of four, which made it feel extra special. The food was mostly good. The starter chips with three different dips were tasty and a great way to begin the meal. The elote corn was fresh and flavorful. My friend ordered the enchiladas, which tasted good, though the sauce was a bit too thick. I ordered the curried taco, but it was lacking sauce and ended up tasting bland. My husband tried the meat taco and shrimp taco and really enjoyed both -- he said they tasted fresh and had great flavor. For drinks, I ordered an espresso martini and asked for a shot of Baileys, but it came with a mix of everything and even had salt on the rim, which was a bit off-putting and not what I expected. Drumroll....... The highlight of the night was definitely the sticky toffee pudding -- it was THE BEST and absolutely worth it! Overall, I was a little hesitant since it had fewer Yelp reviews, but it didn't disappoint. While a couple of dishes could use some improvement, the ambience and the vibe is worth experiencing.

It's been years since we left a review but last week's dinner deserved another. We had the chicken burrito and crispy shrimp tacos. Very plentiful entrees and their appropriate sides. We'll be back for dinner again soon ... maybe taco Tuesday as the tacos were awesome.

Why does this place have three stars??? The food here is delicious! I got the steak fajitas. And the reason why I am not leaving a five star review, is because I felt like they were stingy with the steak. I had enough to make three VERY slender tacos. Just a tad bit more would have made it perfect. But again, the flavor was great. The salsa was delicious. I really liked their take on black beans. Everything was just super flavorful! Had a mock-a-rita and that was great! My server Sydney and the rest of the staff were so kind to me too! The vibe of this place is great. I was here on a Thursday night. It was very chill. As a California Mexican, I say, bravo. If I'm ever in this area I am coming back.

3 out of 5 stars I stopped by MEX in Bloomfield Hills on a Monday night to take advantage of their all-day happy hour margaritas. My first margarita was fantastic--fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced. But when I ordered a second one, it tasted completely different. I asked about it and was told their margaritas are on draft and they had just switched over. Unfortunately, that means consistency isn't guaranteed, which was a letdown considering how great the first one was. I ordered a trio of tacos--shrimp, beef, and chicken--and honestly, they were underwhelming. They weren't hot, more like room temperature, and gave me the impression they'd been sitting for a bit. Maybe they weren't, but that's how they came across. On the upside, our server was excellent--friendly, attentive, and doing his best--but there's only so much he can do if the kitchen and bar aren't on point. The space is beautiful and unique (it used to be a Big Boy, which is wild), so I'm willing to give it another shot on a different night. Hopefully next time the food and drinks match the vibe.

I like the remodeling of this place so much more than what it used to be to look like. The staff are always friendly and smiling. We got the queso and salsa duo. The guacamole appetizers to start the quest was had great flavor the salsa and the chips were very salty but other than that tasted great. I had the shrimp fajitas which were disappointing it only had onions and shrimp and were not very hot. Usually there are at least 3 shrimps per tortilla. I only had 7 pieces of shrimp I was only able make 2 of 3 tortillas. The burrito was huge tasted good but was a bit spicy according to my daughter. My Paloma was one of the best I have tasted. It tasted like fresh pink grapefruit.

Shrimp Taco and Americano Tacos
hunter c.

Mex was an okay restaurant. We ordered the Birria tacos, shrimp tacos, the americano, elote, and a margarita. Starting off with the Birria Tacos, they were very cumin and cinnamon heavy. That flavor was very overpowering and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that doesn't like those flavors. Other than that the Birria tacos were flavorful and good. My mom tasted the rice and beans and she said that they were mediocre. She also said that the classic margarita was sour and could've used more agave. It tasted like a skinny margarita. She also said that the Americano taco was good and flavorful and the shrimp tacos were a bit fishy. 3/5 for mex, if i could 2.5. Only go if you're in the area, wouldn't go out of my way.

Duck Carnitas Tacos (2)

Went here for lunch today and it was great. We sat outside and I liked the covered patio. While I am a little sad they no longer have brunch the lunch was great. We both ordered the Pretty in Pink cocktail and it was delicious. We started off with queso, it was good. It's not on the actual menu but they do have it. My friend ordered the duck tacos and she really liked jt. I got the chicken fajitas and it was delicious. The chicken had a very good flavor. I loved it. We ended with the Mex Brownie sundae that was also very good. We will definitely be back

Food and service were both good - BUT - charging $2 for ice in each mixed drink is tacky.

We were seated at a booth next to the window where you can see into the back kitchen. Our server was super nice and brought out bread for us. We ordered a spicy margarita and the lychee guava martini. The margarita was way too spicy for me but my friend tolerated it. I loved the martini!! It was so good I actually ended up having 3 of them. We originally planned on entrees but ended up just ordering all kinds of apps and got full off of those. It was really satisfying and we had fun trying all the different things they had. I don't think there was anything we didn't like. We got oysters, beef carpaccio, whipped ricotta, and beef tips. Towards the end of our meal the DJ started setting up and the restaurant was rearranging the furniture to make room. We were told our booth was sold but were welcome to continue in another booth until anything changes. The atmosphere transitioned really smoothly and we enjoyed ourselves. It was fun mingling and dancing and ended up staying until close. I would definitely come here again!

We got a salted maple iced latte and a salted maple hot latte. Somehow both of them just tasted like simple syrup. The almond milk in my hot latte had separated, so there was a layer of water on top of my coffee. As far as the bagel goes, it is cute and aesthetic, but the taste is terrible. It tasted like rubber and somehow had pieces of lint within it.
