Had been so excited to finally make a trip to Mex. Unfortunately, the bartender served two parties who arrived after we'd seated ourselves at the bar and didn't acknowledge our presence. Mex seems to be busy every night of the week and I can only assume the other patrons were "regulars". With it being such proximity to our home we would've been "regulars" as well, however, at this point we're discouraged by the service.. read more

Decent Mexican food. There's much better but the ambience is nice and the chips and guac were very good. The salsa lacks a kick. But the margaritas made up for that. read more

My favorite part of my dining experience was the Ghostbuster cocktail, which I almost missed out on! When we ordered the first round of drinks, the bar didn't have the ingredients to fix this spicy margarita (sad face). Our waitress later told us to our surprise that they were now equipped to make them--very spicy and delicious with the kick I like! My quesadilla was okay, nothing special. I did enjoy the freshly made tortilla chips and two salsas. The Mexican corn was missing the cheese that gives it that kick & i have tasted better elsewhere. I'd go back for happy hour to sip on more Ghostbusters and chip/dip. The menu is very limited, but I'm not sure if this is merely due to limited staff from Covid? read more

I feel so compelled to write a review for this restaurant because it was a rollercoaster of emotions from the second I parked my car. Thoughts: This building looks weird like it used to be an old office building. *Walk inside* OH MY GAWD. It is so effing hot in here...I feel like I'm choking because it was so hot and *steamy* But then..look around. And OH MY GAWD. This place is SOOO CUTE! The decor totally makes up for the insane heat stroke I got. Service: Our waiter was incredibly sweaty...but also incredible. Literally sweat dripping down his face. I wondered why the chips were *extra salty* until I realize our waiter must've dazzled them with a little extra sweat he flung off of his forehead. Anyways, for real though the service was really good. Food: Loved the chips and salsa and the side of queso I got. Like, I legit LOVED IT. I would go back JUST for that combination of deliciousness. The meals we ordered on the other hand...I ordered the "Enchilada Casserole." Guys. Don't be fooled...it was not a casserole- it's LITERALLY just 3 enchiladas with a side of rice and beans...if I would've known that I wouldn't have gotten that...but DEF NOT A CASSEROLE. (But it tasted ok so no big deal- it just wasn't really what the menu made it seem like) Friend got the chicken fajitas- we both agreed mediocre at best. Not too much flavor and just kinda MEH. Either way, I actually loved this place- it just goes to show that good service and beautiful & unique decor can really influence your overall experience! read more

The food is excellent. The chips were very good and the dips were extremely flavorful! I had the steak fajitas and the veggies were seasoned and cooked perfectly. The service was kind and attentive and the restaurant is clean, spacious and reasonably intimate as they have the eating areas broken up. I'll be back. Lunch meal was $25 each plus drinks. read more

Carnitas and service was excellent. Guacamole Was too mild. More cilantro and onion would be good. Waiter - Wig was outstanding. Whenever he delivered something to the table and we would thank him he never once said no problem,it was always "my pleasure" or "your most welcome" read more

Our order was incorrect but our waiter didn't come by to ask how our food was. We asked him to correct the bill to reflect what we received. . He then snickered while we were checking out. Like we took too long to enter his tip. They should do better. We will not be back. read more

Remodel is nice and fresh but it now feels a tad like a high end chain restaurant (to me it lost some of the charm it used to have including the enormous front door which I loved). The service was outstanding and the staff was very attentive! My tacos were quite good but the menu seemed a bit limited and I didn't see that many "Mexican" choices (no burrito or enchilada?), as it seems they'd rather you order branzino or a ribeye. The chips and salsa were tasty, but they're complimentary at most of my favorite Mexican restaurants. read more

Seems like the place is struggling a bit. They no longer offer complimentary chips and salsa, prices were raised and the menu is reduced. $4 for chips and salsa for the table, which isn't too bad but it's a Mexican restaurant and it seems like chips and salsa are a required element. They still have their "Skinny Menu" and I appreciate the lighter entrees but I have an issue with labeling it a "skinny menu". As if ordering off that menu will make you skinnier? Or you can only order off it if you are watching your weight? Honestly I love having low-calorie, healthier options but I really struggle with calling certain foods skinny. Does that mean that the regular menu is the opposite meaning the overweight menu? The type and amount of food consumed often doesn't correlate with a person's weight and it is rather off-putting to see a menu so blatantly promote this "diet culture". The key to a healthy lifestyle is balance. I would have much more positive feelings towards this additional menu if the word skinny were eliminated. I ordered the Blackened Shrimp tacos which were heavily seasoned, as expected. They were spicy and flavorful and served with beans (either black or pinto) and cilantro lime rice. The rice and beans came out warm but not hot, which was disappointing. I also had a margarita which was delicious and they offer a bunch of different marg options. The service was pretty good. We were quoted a 30-45 minute wait but it took about 20. The hostesses were friendly and honest. The waitress was very informative and sweet. It was her first night but she knew the menu really well and checked on our table frequently. I hope they work out whatever problems they are having with raising prices and eliminating the free chips and salsa or I don't know if I'll be back soon. read more

Ambiance is nice and service was good. Food is horrible. Please list that your "beef tacos" are just watery ground beef because your establishment is too lazy and cheap to make actual steak tacos. Literal sloppy Joe tacos. Disgusting, never again. Should have just went to Taco Bell. read more

I'd give this place 5 stars if I could. My friend Meg really hyped this place up. I wanted to be a h8er, but you know what, the shrimp tacos were pretty good. Service was a little slow, and a DJ was setting up right next to our table and we were a little nervous but everything worked out. Rumor has it that Mex had a remodel. Can't speak to the before, but the now is pretty neat. read more

My husband and I have missed this place since they shut down for remodeling. It was nice to finally eat there again! I will say that I preferred the decor before the remodel though. The service was great! The place was packed and you could tell they were busy. Our second round of drinks took awhile to come out, but our server generously offered us a free dessert as an apology for the wait. Chips and salsa were delicious, I could fill up on just that. The tacos were solid. I thought the rice was a bit bland, but the beans were really good. The ghostbuster margarita was amazing. The highlight though was surprisingly the dessert! The sticky toffee pudding made me want to lick the bowl. Seriously good - and we weren't even planning to get it originally! The place is a bit expensive, but the ambiance, drinks, and food are worth it. We're glad it's back! read more

I came here when they first opened and while I liked the old version better this one is very good too. The food tasted more like American Mexican food but would still come here again. It is nice and modern inside but I feel like it lost its flavor that it has before. The waitress seemed very well trained and was very nice. read more

I went here for dinner tonight, and it was my first time at this location - I had been to the Great Lakes Crossing one, but about a year ago, for a Yelp sampling event. I had a MEX gift card too so we decided to try this location out. We were seated kind of in the bar area, at a two-person table, which is not my favorite. I asked if we could switch tables and they said no, because the 4-person tables all had reservations. However, instead of a chair it's almost like a mini booth, seat-wise, which I did like. Waitservice was good for the most part - our waiter was also a bartender, though, so he was pretty busy. I ordered the two taco plate and I got a steak taco and an Al Pastor, which came with pork belly confit and pineapple. I would say their tacos are just as good as Imperial's, and they do give you a lot of food. The plates also come with beans and cilantro lime rice, but because I don't enjoy beans, I ordered a double portion of rice instead. The rice was also very good - it tasted kind of sticky/chewy which I liked. MEX loses a star from me in that prices are high, though for Bloomfield Hills that's to be expected - two tacos, beans, and rice range from $12-14, and you can add a third taco for an upcharge. They do let you "mix and match" tacos - my boyfriend got one steak and one chorizo taco, and I got one steak and the Al Pastor. We also ordered horchata, which was very good but was $5 each for a skinny, tall glass. Their dinner plates that aren't tacos are about $18-20 too. Overall, though, really good food, and I hope to return for happy hour at some point. Their decor is interesting and eclectic, as well. read more

I'm giving this place two stars since it's quite large, well decorated, and the staff were very nice. That's basically all the good comments I have for this place. The food was highly disappointing especially considering the prices. We started off with chips and salsa and the spiciest salsa was extremely mild for our taste. The chips were freshly made which is a huge plus. I had ordered the veggie nachos and I could only eat a few bites before feeling sick. I was surprised there were no fresh jalapeños or guacamole on the nachos. The queso they used had a very Velveeta flavor to it and the nachos were topped off with a heap of lettuce and canned olives. I would not be recommending this place to anyone who is looking for authentic Mexican cuisine. read more

MEX - Veggie Nachos - Mexican Near Me - Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

I enjoyed my tacos today and thought the food was good and server was very nice restaurant is totally open and modern nice renovations work!

Food was good. I had the breakfast burrito and I liked it a lot. The French was really good.

Finally tried out this place for the first time - I absolutely love the interior style. I had a difficult time finding the front door, I actually walked around the entire place once before I could find it. Upon arriving I was greeted and immediately seated, the greeters were very nice, asked the name of my guest and my name and felt very very welcomed. The server was great, she recommended a fantastic starburst margarita (one of the happy hour specials, it was larger than the mini and was awesome!). We got chips - very crunchy, and tried 2 salsas. Those very tasty. I asked for a side of queso - and it kind of resembled cheese whiz and the receipt actually said cheese whiz. I'd love to return to try other things, but for 100 percent certain the biggest hit was by far the ELOTES. Best I've ever had! I cannot return with getting this fabulous dish. Wow I'm a big fan and can't wait to return. read more

First I'd like to say I don't remember our servers name however, she was great! My friend and I had lunch there and it was a sure treat! We shared chips & salsa and chicken nachos. Both were rather tasty in their own right. The two (mild and spicy) salsas we chose to accompany the chips were flavorful and distinctively different. The nachos had a delicious kick from the fresh baked jalapeños. I had the shrimp taco platter and substituted the elote instead of the rice for a $2 up charge. They didn't quite get the elote right the first time; but I let my server know and she relayed the message to the chef who knocked it out the park the 2nd go round! I asked her to give the chef my compliments! Long story short, I danced while eating my food. (So you know it was good!) My friend had the chicken burrito which she said was really good. I didn't taste hers because I tooooo preoccupied with mine! Lol If you're wondering there was no room for dessert!!! But the vibe and atmosphere was really comfortable and chill. First time and I'd definitely go back. read more

I want to love this place. I've tried so many times over the years. I live close, love Mexican food and the remodel is stunning but the food just isn't that good. We had a reservation for 8 people, half the party was late because of the roads and they still sat us quickly. Some of our party had to park in the neighboring lots because the snow and ice in the lot took away a lot of parking. The lot and sidewalks were very slippery. The chips are excellent, made in house daily. My party loved the margaritas as well. The guac lacked flavor and the salsa was watery. I ordered chicken fajitas, they came sizzling and spicy but there wasn't a lot of meat in the mix, it was mostly peppers and onions. The taco trio looked really good but the person who ordered it said it was just spicy, no additional flavor just heat. Even my husband agrees that the food has gone downhill in the last few years. read more

Really good food but very high prices. I've gotten great Mexican food similar to this at Azteca for a fraction of the cost. Must be the area. If you have money to burn and like better than average Mexican food go here! read more

Menu is further paired down. Place looks nice and service is better. Quality and flavor of food is still the same. I wish they would invest in the food as well, not just the building and ambience. read more

So here's the thing, I don't dine in, but order carry out for lunch while at work. We often get lunch for our team of 10-12 people at a time, and we really enjoy getting the fajitas, chips and guacamole, and nachos. A few times items have been missed, or substitutions have been missed, but all in all we always have a good experience. With my birthday coming up on the 31st, I'm sure we'll me ordering for the group again. ;) read more

I've been debating on whether to post a review, but I do feel that my fellow yelpers need to know. Went to Mex a couple of weeks ago for dinner as my wife and I didn't want to drive downtown for "real" Mexican food. We decided to take at shot at Mex. A really cute place full of trendoids but we got a nice window seat. Our server was very prompt and friendly so no complaints about the service. Food and drinks were worth zero stars. Drinks were very weak and expensive. Margarita was made with cheap, acidy sour mix. The beer was warm. The food was nowhere near anything Mexican. If anyone remembers Chi-Chi's restaurant from several years ago then you get the idea. Spent about $70 for a dinner that was very disappointing. They should be ashamed of themselves for trying to pass this off as any sort of Mexican food or derivation thereof. read more

The renovated Mex is beautiful and aesthetic. Food quantities have increased from last time. Chips and salsa were filling, shrimp tacos were okay but the cilantro rice and beans were delicious. Service was good as well. Definitely great place for an instagramable meal with friends read more

I've been coming to Mex for years now, and I've always had such an amazing experience, especially today! My girlfriend and I found that I had a gift card for $100 to Mex, so we thought why not! Mexican food is delicious and one of my favorites We showed up and were immediately greeted by the kindest server I have ever met in my entire life. Bar none, no joke! Michael deserves an award for his attention to detail hospitality and generosity. I would hire this guy in a heartbeat. So warm, so kind and very approachable. We asked about the fajitas, Steak or Shrimp? Michael said "why not both!?" What a good call... it was absolutely delicious, and it came out piping hot on a sizzling plate. We also had the pineapple spicy margaritas. Wow, I'm feeling spicy! I can't wait to come back, not only for the food and vibe, but also for Michaels amazing service and kind heart. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Food was not very good. Like overpriced Taco Bell that had been left in the backseat of a car in July, with the windows rolled up. Not worth wasting money even trying when, you should just go down to Mexican Town for tasty food. read more

MEX - Ghost Pepper Marg - Mexican Near Me - Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

I'm often passing MEX and see their colorful awning and decor from the street and have been wanting to try it for awhile now and finally did on Cinco de Mayo. For Cinco de Mayo, MEX offered a limited smaller menu than usual that didn't include all their offerings like Sunday brunch and certain varieties of tacos like chorizo. They still had most tacos, quesadillas, salads, fajitas, and desserts. Most restaurants were offering drink and food specials for Cinco de Mayo and I expected some sort of drink special on margaritas for the holiday but was surprised to find that there were no specials and everything was full price. The major pro and selling point of MEX is the fun and festive decor and atmosphere, with lots of colorful skulls and a giant colorful sugar skull as tall as a person, when you first enter the restaurant. The restaurant is very decorative and atmospheric throughout with crystal chandeliers, colorful papeles picados, salsa wall, hanging lights, colorful painted tin cans to the ceiling, sunny open roof and patio in spring and summer, and a long table for parties where chairs at the end of the table are almost throne-like. Decor is classsy elegance meets traditional Mexican restaurant. The food was only ok and didn't thrill me, chill me, and fulfill me. Tacos were average and pretty small portions with sparse toppings but the price tag didn't really match. Most tacos are around $14-$15 and you get only two tacos with pretty sparse toppings served with rice and beans. The rice and beans were very tasty and well seasoned though. I had the snapper tacos, which were small and had a small amount of meat and were lightly garnished with pineapple salsa and avocado cream and cost $15. For that price, I would expect a hardier more filling taco loaded with toppings. The tacos were average but really nothing special. You do have the option to mix and match different varieties of tacos and can add a third taco for an additional charge. We also ordered chips and guacamole. The chips were warm and tasty but many chips were kind of chewy and the serving of guacamole was very tiny compared to most competing restaurants. It looked more like a side of guacamole for a taco, not a $10 appetizer to be shared among a few people. I would have thought that salsa was complimentary but that was an additional charge too. Drinks were ok but not phenomenal. They don't have frozen margaritas but had a new limited time menu item, a frose. The frose was good but not amazing. I ordered a Starburst margarita too and I liked it a lot better than the frose. The Starburst margarita had flavors of peach, pineapple, grapefruit, and lemon. It was well balanced and the grapefruit wasn't overwhelming. Margaritas and cocktails are $12 a piece but again they aren't anything special. I might have expected a large margarita in a festive glass but they're served in a plastic cup with no garnishing and no sugar or salt rim and honestly I've had equivalent tasting margaritas in a dive bar for a lot cheaper. Service was just ok. Our server was very warm and friendly but seemed very busy and really didn't check back on us much even though the restaurant wasn't very busy since we came for lunch at noon. Our server had a hard time applying a gift card and separating checks and it took three attempts and help from the manager before it was finally done which made us late to our movie. However, the server and manager were very friendly and helpful throughout the lengthy process. Overall, the food isn't anything I'm dreaming about or rushing back for. There was nothing really special about it that stood out. I don't mind paying for a great meal but the price really exceeds the quality and quantity of product here. The real selling point here is the atmosphere which is so cute, festive, and fun. I might dine here like once a year for the atmosphere but if I have a hankering for tacos and margs, Bakersfield or Imperial has better quality food and drinks for the price and still a very nice fun comparable atmosphere. read more

After the remodel the food and ambience are actually excellent. The ingredients seem to be better quality and no doubt the menu feels more like eating in a nice California Mexican bistro. The price increases were to be expected, but pushing it too far on the upper range. I would frequent more with more realistic prices which means I would actually spend far more over time. But a nice option to have something well designed and good.. read more

I ordered the two taco mahi entree - $13.50 Wife ordered the two taco mahi entree without the rice and beans -$14.00. How? The tortilla chips and salsa were the best part of the meal although they do cost extra. Our server was friendly. Not sure how ordering less food could equate to the same price, let alone be more expensive. Won't be back. read more

MEX - Mexican Near Me - Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

I was excited to hear that MEX had reopened. However, the service was mediocre at best (it felt like we should be grateful they had a table available despite seeing plenty of servers and many open tables). After waiting for a server to even acknowledge us (they seemed unclear who was supposed to take our table) we got our food. Unfortunately, the food itself continued to be unimpressive and bland for the price, which is on the expensive end for Mexican cuisine and not worth the cost tbh. We only went once when we moved to the area before the remodel, and gave it another try after the remodel, but still left disappointed. Full disclosure: I'm originally from the Southwest where amazing Mexican food was aplenty. Therefore, my pallet and expectations are of a different standard. With that said, the remodel was cute. read more

A very pretentious restaurant! The decor doesn't fit to the menu. The staff... the hostess might be trying out for Dumb and Dumber. The bartender acts like he's the owner because he's so afraid of putting the correct amount of alcohol in the drinks. The restaurant owners love money more than good quality Mexican food. The prices are outrageous and a total ripoff. If the food was descent then maybe you can charge $18-25 for tacos, burritos, and enchilada. Mexican food? My dog eats better food than this garbage. The managers walk around like zombies. They are so unaware of their wait staff and their horrible food. How is this eatery busy? The food is disgusting! Managers are in the Twilight Zone. The prices? These guys are crooks. Mexican food? They aren't even close. My advice? Better food at Del taco. read more

Terrible experience. Outdoor tent but told we could not sit there. Rude service people. Decided to take out food. Would not give us chips and salsa ahead of the rest of food until manager intervened. Order very incorrect. Will never go back. What a shame. I can handle bad service but not rudeness. read more

We went for a birthday with a party of 10 and were seated right at our reservation time. Their menu is a little limited if you're comparing to traditional Mexican restaurants. If you're looking for a few more items, ask for the skinny menu. The chips and salsa were pretty good. They brought a nice variety of salsas (spicy [though not too spicy], green, and tomato) though I did have a few chips that were chewy from not being fried correctly. The nachos were flavorful but not super loaded with meat and cheesy goodness like I like. My wet burrito was delicious but a little on the expensive side for its size. In reality every entree is a little on the expensive side but not terribly. One note is that while our waitress was great, the runners just did not care. They would bring food out and just put it anywhere on the table without much regard for which side of the table ordered that additional chips and salsa or who wanted to dive into the nachos appetizer. As for the decor, be prepared for a lot of skull art. Most Americans associate skull art only with the day of the day in Mexico (or el dia de los muertos) and may be wondering why they have Day of the Dead decorations year-round. In actuality, skull art is representative of Mexican culture and a symbol of independence from Spain (Spaniards thought it too primitive and suppressed it during Spanish rule). Also, this place is LOUD. Be aware that conversations may be difficult. read more
