This is a locals place as the food is THAT good! If you are visiting AC, don't miss out. This food is authentic and is better than the food I've had on the many many times I've been to Mexico. Owners are wonderful people and the staff is top notch! Friendly, fun atmosphere. This is the REAL deal! We had a blast! Watermelon margaritas were great. Salsa is spicy which is much welcomed by our crowd! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! Airi is a wonderful server and bartender!!! I always order the Mole enchilada/taco/tamale combo. Delish. Others in our group love the fajitas! You can't go wrong here. Happy hour from 4-6 with great drink specials. read more

Mexico Restaurant - Fun at Mexico AC on 7/2/25! - Mexican Near Me - Atlantic City, New Jersey

Really great hidden gem! I had a cup of the rich, creamy totally delicious and quite filling crab soup. Tasted like she crab soup from Maryland. It was amazing. My husbands are a cup of frijoles bean soup that he loved. The veggie fajitas were good with corn tortillas. My shrimp tacos were world class a little spicy and filling. Great old world charm of this hidden gem is definitely on our our repeat list. read more

My favorite Mexican spot in AC. Food is always outstanding. My go to is the chimichangas.

Great breakfast and brunch! Huevo Rancheros are excellent! Very clean and comfortable. Service was great too!

Used to dine in at Mexico, don't remember why we stopped. Started going again for takeout during the pandemic. We love the nachos, the half serving is a great starter. Everything we have sampled has been delicious. Tonight the Burrito Feliz, was excellent and the aide salad was a welcome addition. Glad to be back supporting a restaurant close to North Beach Ventnor. read more

Recently made an uber eats order. Asked to sun beans for lettuce and cheese for the fajitas. threw in a $5 tip for the kitchen. got beans, no lettuce or cheese. Beyond this, the food is absolutely amazing every time we order! read more

What a disaster this so-called Mexican restaurant came out to be. I don't understand the five star reviews. We came there because of the good reviews! I've eaten better Mexican street food! My biggest regret was not getting up to leave after the drinks and guacamole were served. Really the worst I've guacamole I've ever had. Not made at the table and visually you could see it was gonna be bad and it truly was.. Our drinks had no fruit in them whatsoever and didn't taste good at all.. To finish off the food was served cold. I had a Sope and it was flat and like no Sope I've ever seen before! Not appetizing in the lease.. LOL Not a happy eating experience.. All the food was left untouched As I don't trust sending food back to the kitchen.. I spoke to the manager and he had no defense only stating that it would cost more to add fruit to the drinks.. I paid in full and left. My good money taken for service's not rendered We left very unhappy and hungry.. The manager knows this place messed up and he would not dare say I'm wrong. This place needs a complete overhaul don't go do yourself a favor . read more

Haven't been there in many years. Used to be amazing so made a reservation for my husband's birthday, what a mistake I am sad to say this, but everything was awful. From the guacamole to the main course. Would definitely recommend looking somewhere else if you're looking for a good meal. read more

After many nice experiences tonight was a disappointment. The food was good as always but the service was subpar. Our waitress was very disappointing and had an attitude. Unlikely we would return. read more

The food was good, the service was good, the margaritas were amazing!! I ordered the skinny marg and it was one of the best I've had in a while. My friend had the jalapeño marg and she really liked it. They start out by giving you complimentary chips and salsa. If you're not a spicy person, avoid the salsa. I tried a little and it was instant heartburn. I ordered the combo fajitas. It was good. Not knock your socks off food, but it was good. My friend got beef tacos and a salad. She said both were good. Food: 3/5 Drinks: 5/5 Service: 4/5 So all in all, it was worth the visit. read more

God awful food was ok, but servers are atrocious, and so is the options of food. AND NO QUESOOO

I loved this Mexican Restaurant it was delicious I ate the shrimp and salad. The Margarita was delicious the resteraunt was very clean.

I'm used to Sonoran style Mexican food. The food here is more like Oaxaca or Vera Cruz. Not a bad thing, just different. Salsa's are awesome, pico is a delight and chips are NOT free. I ordered fresh, fried jalapenos and got a lecture on how hot they are. I explained how I was suckled from the teet of a large jalapeno as a newborn, so back the frick off. They WERE pretty hot. Weird since nowadays most jalapenos have been farmed down to little more than a green bell pepper. Anyways, he was right. read more

This is one of the most underrated Mexican restaurants in NJ. I've been dining here for nearly 10 years and haven't been disappointed. Brought my husband here for the first time and he loved it too. We had the chimichanga and beef nachos. The beef they use is shredded steak, not ground beef, and it's seasoned perfectly. Happy Hour is Sunday through Friday 5-7pm. Looking forward to visiting for that! read more

My mom and I have been coming here for years now. I LOVE THEIR SOPES!!! They always start you off with chips and salsa. The salsa that they give you is what I use for the sopes and boy is it GOOD. Last time I was here it was also happy hour. I ordered a guava margarita with a sugar rim instead of salt. I ended up getting a second round it was so tasty and let me just add that I usually hate margs. The service is always friendly and quick. I've never been there after 5pm so I'm not sure what the service is like after that time. Either way, if you want good authentic Mexican food and with a smile, stop by this spot and I can assure you that you won't be disappointed. read more

Great atmosphere. Restaurant area tucked around a corner out of view from where you walk in. Once you are seated, you are taken away to Mexico. Music and decorations are great. The chicken mole enchiladas was actually one of the best I have ever had. read more

Can't post a picture because we ate it too fast. Portions were perfect. Prices as good as they can be these days. Fast and delicious. Couldn't ask for a better place. read more

Delicious authentic Mexican food. I tried this place during restaurant week and they had the BEST mole sauce I've ever had!!! Mexican food is my favorite cuisine so to say the best is saying a-lot. Delicious chipotle passion fruit margarita!! Yummy, will be back again! read more

"The best of ANYTHING I've had in years!"Devoured my meal in the parking lot,couldn't wait.

Best sit down Mexican restaurant I have ever been to, and I've lived in California for years. Absolutely amazing sauces, tacos, fajitas, enchiladas, and tamales. Very nice ambiance and friendly staff too! Perfect place for a post-beach meal. read more

Come with caution.. The food here is terrible and the service slow. I ordered combo fajita and chicken soup and both dishes were flavorless and did not look appetizing. Don't know how other people are giving it 5 stars because I was shocked by how bad the food was. Alcohol is also watered down, felt like was drinking sugar water. This is not authentic Mexican food, it's an imitation of it. read more

Bad hostess. Completely unorganized and says that OpenTable makes mistakes. Very strange when every other OpenTable reservation we make is just fine at other restaurants. read more

Excellent Authentic Mexican food! Service is great and friendly! So authentic you'll think your in Mexico.

MUST MUST MUST TRY! This is about fifteen mins away from the casino strips. The setup is super nice inside very casual and the decorations are colorful! Prices are reasonable we had about 12 people and our bill came out to $300. The food was amazing! Super authentic tasting and loved how they give you free chips and salsa. If your looking to eat Mexican food this is def a place I would recommend! read more

I am working reaaallyy hard to get that Mexi-can badge. So much so, that the list I texted boyfriend of potential dinner options for last night was comprised almost entirely of Mexican restaurants. Mexico was his choice. I realize one day I'm going to have to give in and take him somewhere decidedly American. There is a parking lot on the corner of Ventnor Ave for patrons of Mexico, but it was full so we ended up parking around the block and subsequently praying that all 4 tires would still be attached the car when we came back. Mexico is adorable, inside and out. It was cozy with tons of decorations and bright colors. The space is also deceiving from the outside: there are actually 2 separate dining areas and a bar area with tables. We were greeted, seated, and had our drink orders taken. I haven't had a margarita since boyfriend and I were in Mexico (the actual country) so I was really excited to have one here. I was also happy they didn't default to a frozen margarita, and actually asked if I'd prefer it on the rocks (I do, by the way.) Drinks came out pretty quickly and the margarita was kickin'! Well made, not overly sweet, and quite nicely priced might I add. I was a little disappointed looking at the menu. No al pastor, no goat. They did have lengua, which I was happy to see. I loved that next to each Spanish word, there was an English description...except for the lengua. We decided to start with the Veulve a la Vida: shrimp, calamari, and crabmeat mixed with onions, tomato sauce, avocado, and cilantro. It's a cold dish, which both of us had magically managed to skip over in the description. Boyfriend chose chicken tacos for his main, and I ordered the flautas. The tacos don't come with rice and refrieds automatically, so boyfriend ordered them as a side. We were also served warm tortilla chips with warm (?) salsa. I've never had warm salsa, so that was kind of a surprise. It was really tasty and the spiciness was great. It was a little runny and watery, as other reviewers have noted. If they could keep the exact taste of the salsa, and just make it chunkier, they'd definitely have the best salsa in south Jersey. The Veulve was delicious, probably my favorite of the night. The sea creatures were so fresh, and there was an abundance of all of them in the glass. It was slightly spicy and cilantro-y and just a little sweet at the same time. The calamari was taut and snappy, the crab and the shrimp were so succulent and sweet. It was served with crackers, but I didn't use any. Boyfriend stated that he was tasting the calamari too much and felt like it was overpowering the dish. I love calamari, and I thought it was spectacular. We couldn't finish it, but trust and believe we were picking at it right up until our waitress took it away. I'll get right to the point: I found our entrees to be very bland. A bite of my flauta and all I could taste was....well, really nothing. The chicken inside desperately needed some seasoning. This chicken needed seasoning like Snooki needs an adoption agency. I got pretty heavy-handed with the hot sauce here in an attempt to extract some semblance of flavor. The rice was very good, as were the refried beans. Boyfriend's chicken was bland and unseasoned as well, but he reported that he likes it that way. Okay then! The service was a little slow, but that's par for the course in a Mexican restaurant. It wasn't painfully slow, and we never waited too long for anything. I'm not really sure how "authentic" this place is. It COULD be authentic, if they wanted it to be, for sure. To me it just seemed like typical Americanized Mexican. Also, there were way more caucasians dining here than any other ethnicity. Typically not really a sign of cultural authenticity. The bill was about $60, before tip, which is reasonable considering it included drinks, an appetizer, two mains, and a side. But the side of rice and beans was $7! For two dollars more, we could have gotten a whole 'nother dinner. Seems a little steep for some rice and beans. I think their appetizers are a little overpriced as well. $14 for nachos? I'm pretty sure the Siberian Nachos at Red Square in Tropicana are $14 as well. I would definitely come back to Mexico, after we try a few other places first. I think this would be a really fun place to come grab a couple drinks at the bar and order up some Mexican plates to share. They are also co-owners of La Hacienda in Galloway. read more

This place was a little disappointing to be honest. We stopped in during happy hour and ordered a margarita, which tasted like watered down mango juice. My boyfriend ordered the chorizo quest, which was very liquid-y and lacked any chorizo in my option. And then I just opted for a steak quesadilla, which to my surprise, it did not come with any sour cream, pico, or guacamole, so it was quite bland to say the least. The meat didn't taste seasoned, so it was a basic quesadilla. We were the only ones in the restaurant and still had to wait like 10 minutes so the girl to come back. Probably wouldn't come back, but the quesadilla was only $6, so I might. ‍ read more

Can't believe my last review was 2012. Where the hell have I been. Another Friday night out and we wanted Mexican. We love Mexican food and this is the place for great Mexican food in Atlantic City. When people around you are speaking Spanish you know the food must be good. Kind of a laid back place that has not changed much since our first visit. Very nice wait staff. Ordered Margarita and boy was it good. Side of Guacamole and chips outstanding along with chips and salsa. Would rather have chunky salsa but theres is good. Burrito, Quesadillas y Sope combination is more than you can eat and excellent. Burrito Mexicano was also excellent and again more than you can eat. Refried beans and rice are very good. Another Margarita and we were out of there with our to go box. I'm eating leftovers as I write this. Yum..... read more

Absolutely authentic Mexican food! Love the food here. Their salsa? I personally think is the BEST I have tasted. I used to go to Los Amigos prior to discovering this gem. In last 12 months, I made 0 trips to Los Amigos and probably 20+ to here. The price is very reasonable, courteous waiter/waitresses, very authentic atmosphere (though it's in a residential area kinda), good authentic food - what more can I ask for. If you're in a mood for some Mexican food and you're in Atlantic City, skip the other places and stop by here read more

We used to go to a restaurant in Galloway called La Hacienda that closed 7 years ago. Everytime we got Mexican (often) we'd say how much we missed it. Did some research and found the Mexico Restaurant is the sister restaurant. BOY OH BOY did it live up to the memory of La Hacienda. Everything is soooo fresh, homemade, and so so tasty. So excited to have our go to favorite Mexican spot back. read more

Everything we ordered was delicious and fresh! We enjoyed chicken fajitas, a chicken burrito and guacamole. Excellent service as well!
