I was invited out for the lunch to come here. It wasn't my first time here, but this isn't my favorite Mexican restaurant. It was really good though. Our server was so nice. She continued to provide drink refills as needed. I would come back because their food is really good. read more

I usually like their food. However, I ordered the steak and pork taco. It came with onions. It was the worst tacos I ever tasted. It was Just bland and dry never again. read more

Mexico Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

First of the service was good, Second the salsa tasted like pizza sauce and the food was flat out bland. It's very disappointing to go to a Mexican restaurant and for the salsa to taste like lunchable pizza sauce. But the ambiance was good. read more

Found some perfect matches today. The salsa and green hot salsa, perfect. Green salsa mixed in to the salsa adds heat to a flavorful chunky salsa. The spinach queso dip is a great accompaniment to add on top of fajitas. Also love the way they serve the spinach queso, in a tortilla shell is smart! Service was okay, make sure you order multiple of your drinks in case cause they take a minute. But they were friendly and overall a good experience! read more

We stopped in for a quick drink and a snack, and we're not deterred by the current Yelp rating. I'm glad that we decided to give it a try. It was quiet, and the restaurant was extremely clean, and everyone was very friendly and personable, particularly our bartender. The margarita was the perfect balance of sweet and sour Probably one of the best I've had in a while. I really enjoyed their chips. They were light and crispy and perfectly salty. We did not eat a full meal, but we would definitely return based on this experience. read more

I went here after being disappointed with my time at San Luis II and it was worth it. A toned down place the restaurant has a smaller environment and honestly just feels like XL living room. The tones give it a very homey and relaxed placed. Service was cool no complaints. My waitress came took my order and checked on me periodically, which you always have to appreciate. Lastly food...I ordered the carnitas and choripollo(was feeling basic) and it felt like my portion was larger than it would be elsewhere. The carnitas were tasty and had the salsa to go with, so no complaints. The choripolllo came loaded and even with some enchilada , which made it more appetizing. In the end Mexico Restaurant was an enjoyable choice and worth a second or third visit. It only felt like they were lacking in variety on their menu which isn't the worst thing. I'm not sure how this place compares to traditional Mexican food, but if you eat a lot of traditional American food then it'd be worth giving this place a shot outside your normal palate. read more

This location has ample parking. We were greeted by the nicest hostess. She sat us down right away. As soon as I saw the portrait of Frida Kahlo as we walked to our table, I knew we picked a great spot. Our waitress went above and beyond. She checked on us frequently. She refilled our beverages and offered us extra chips/salsa and dips when she saw us running low. The waitress brought salsa bowls for each person at the table. The salsa's texture is just how I like it...not too thick and not too thin. It is definitely homemade. I could have bought a gallon of it to take home. I really appreciated that the menu was not overwhelming. It was lunch time, but I chose the Supreme beef tacos. They come in three without a side. I asked for a side of rice, because my eyes are always bigger than my stomach, lol. Not this time. It wound up being the right portion for me. The beef is seasoned so well and the toppings with cheese, sour cream and tomatoes really completed this dish. The rice was a nice choice, because it was fluffy and had the right amount of seasonings. I cleared my plate. I may have left a grain of rice, but that is it. My eyes darted over to another table as they were being served margaritas. I was tempted, but I will have to try that another time. I really like the artwork throughout the restaurant. We sat at a booth, but their high back chairs actually looked very appealing if you were to sit at a regular table. They have a nice size bar in the back. I am definitely impressed. Can't wait to come back! read more

Food, service, hospitality all were 1st rate! Always have a good meal and always feel very welcome.

There was such a chill and laid back atmosphere for my Saturday lunch. I was able to get the California burrito for lunch and it was perfect! Just the right portion size, it came with a side of rice or beans. The rice was nice and fluffy and perfectly seasoned. The server paced us perfectly and provided prompt service. She's brought us the most perfect house hot sauce, I absolutely love the house hot sauce at any Hispanic restaurant because it fresh, made in house and varies in heat level. This tomatillo based house hot sauce was amazing, spicy & flavorful, please ask for it if you visit. And with visiting for lunch, dining is a little cheaper which is reflected in the portion sizes. Who walks to be weighed down after lunch when you have things to do! I will definitely be back, I spotted some margaritas on the way out that I have to try next! read more

You kind of forget about this place, what with all the Mexican restaurants that have opened in the area over the last 10 years or so, but it was one of Greensboro first Mexican restaurants, maybe the very first. Salvador Ornelas and Anselmo Arellano opened the original restaurant on West Market Street in late 1988, and had opened 2 more on different ends of Battleground Avenue by 1992. These two men are part of large, extended family from San Jose de la Paz, in the state of Jalisco, who came to the East Coast of the US, and started opening Mexican restaurants, the first in Georgia in the early 1980's. At one point it was estimated that family members operated over 75 Mexican restaurants, including the Mexico Mexican Restaurants here (2 remain open currently), La Carreta in Winston, the Rio Grande restaurants in the Greensboro area, and at one point at least, La Bamba on State Street. Though similar in many ways, these restaurants are operated independently. I was on my own for lunch Friday, and I stopped in here on a whim - Tex-Mex sounded good, and I'd not eaten here in quite awhile. I ordered the Mexican Sampler, which was comprised of a hard shell Beef Taco (still enjoy one from time to time), a Chile Relleno, a Tostada, 2 Beef Enchiladas, Rice, and Beans ( priced at just under $13). The chips and salsa here are solid, if not spectacular. The items on this sampler were much the same, and I'm fine with that. The Chile Relleno and the Beef Enchiladas were probably a bit better than "solid", in fact very tasty. The service was very good, the interior clean and colorful, if a little dimly lit. I ate my first meal at Mexico Mexican Restaurant shortly after it opened IN 1988, and I still find the food good - and it is what it is, primarily Tex-Mex, with a few traditional dishes (Carnitas, for example) available, as well. From some of the reviews there seems to be less than a consensus on the quality of the food or the service, but my visit was very pleasant. read more

Great food, amiable and competent staff and secure parking. Menu is generally at market prices.

And I had such high hopes of starting 2022 on a positive note! The reviews of Mexico were a bit mixed but the good ones raves about this place. I should have listened to the negative. All I wanted was a couple of chile relleno and a side of refried beans and rice. Standard Mexican fare. I knew something was wrong when there was no refried beans and no rice available as a side. I'm not kidding. Let's order anyway just so I can do a review. Sometime I should listen to that little voice that tells me to run... run far.when I opened the styrofoam box and saw what is in the attached picture I was wondering what they sent me. I never had a relleno as small as this. I never had in that was stuffed with an indiscriminate ground meat, if it was meat. Oddly I was halfway through the first thing when I realized there was no pepper! No wonder this "dish" had no shape! I will tell you what it was though and that is salty. A salt bomb to be exact. Also pretty sure that there was no batter associated with this, seemed to be coated in egg wash alone which is a pretty good trick since there was no discernible whole pepper. My son had something called quesabirria... greasy is the only word for it. But the chips were okay although the salsa, and I use the term loosely, had zero flavor. This was a huge disappointment even at the inexpensive price of $25. So yourself a favor and stay away from this poor excuse for a restaurant. In an age where things are going poorly overall (bet you miss Pres. Trump!) establishments should bend over backwards to please. This isn't rocket science, pay attention to what you establishment is putting out there. A complete lack of respect! read more

Mexico Restaurant - Chile relleno... seriously. - Mexican Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

Well I don't know where to begin but I do know where it ended. Long day, went to go get my hair done. After 3 and a half hours, needless to say we were starving. We were going to go to to this lovely tampoon restaurant where they serve the most delicious food. At that split second from turning left to Right my better half Buddy says let's try this Mexican restaurant. No problem we ate Mexican way over a dozen times. We went in very nice hostess and was seated at a very clean table great atmosphere. He left the menu and as I was looking at it, I said to buddy there is nothing special here about anything not even the appetizer were simple. so we ordered a spinach dip appetizer with chips. Like I said very simple menu the other choices were cheese and guacamole. Here comes the spinach dip smh not at all hot. Looks like the took canned spinach and mixed it with cheese and microwaved it. Next was the main meal so quick we didn't even get two chips in the dip. main meals were shrimp with scallops and cheese with Spanish rice served with lettuce and tomatoes and sour cream on the side. Buddy ordered the chicken with Spanish rice and vegetables. Omg one bite of the rice and scallops I was done. Didn't even have to chew the scallops they dissolved along with the mushy rice. Now watching Buddy eat his food was so disappointing because he enjoys good food also. His chicken looked flabby and the so called Spanish rice was just like mine. Not SPANISH. I clearly asked for the check. The only thing that was nice about this place was the waitress. I don't recommend this place. Maybe it was the cook but enter at your own risk. I'm highly disappointed read more

Mexico Restaurant - Shrimp with Spanish rice and vegetables - Mexican Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

The food was great, service was quick and attentive. Really enjoyed our meal there. We will surely go back.

Great food, amazing staff, and nice design. Highly recommend trying this restaurant out

Ok, first of all, let's be honest, when you are reviewing mexican food, you are reviewing the subtle differences, because for the most part all mexican restaurants are very similar to what they serve and how they serve it. Once in a while you come across a gem though, and you have to really pay attention to why you like it so much. With this restaurant, I noticed a few special things: 1. I ordered a vegetarian quesadilla. It came out with a buttery, crispy, perfect tortilla on the outside, and what seemed to be marinated onions, and all sorts of vegetables on the inside. No skimping on good ingredients like many vegetarian items, and the subtle spice flavors made it clear the cook enjoyed his work. 2. The rice - you know how you usually get dry, boring rice at most places? Not here, it was moist, fluffy and nicely spiced, and I was there at the end of the night when it should have been a bit stale. 3. Presentation - Everything was presented nicely and looked appetizing. So, this is a winner in my book. And of course you get nice warm chips and fresh salsa right when you sit down and the price is very reasonable. read more

Mexico Restaurant - Vegetarian quesadilla. - Mexican Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

HORRIBLE experience ordering from Mexico Restaurant. DoorDash was great but the restaurant sent three entrees instead of four. When I called, she kept me on the phone forever denying that we were missing anything. When I reiterated over and over again that we had received three entrees instead of four she demanded "well what are you missing"? I said "I think the nacho supreme" (first alert should probably be that i was even entirely sure WHAT we received)... to which she responded "no you aren't... you're missing the taco salad with shrimp"! Um... I thought I wasn't missing anything! What we did order was horrible. I like to give credit where credit is due but I have nothing positive to say about the experience or the food. read more

I had previously dined here with family based off of a co-workers recommendation and had a great experience. This time, however, was nothing close to the first. There seemed to be an issue with their soda machine that they couldn't get corrected. Once the food arrived, it was lack luster and surprisingly bland. What had previously been a fresh and flavorful dish was barely edible. Our server was extremely distracted by something going on in the kitchen, and I can appreciate that, but there are definitely better ways to handle the stressful situations. We were made to feel like we were an inconvenience by being there, which was certainly not our intention. I absolutely appreciate the struggle of the current climate, and I hope this restaurant is able to work through the difficulties and return to the level of quality that I know they are capable of delivering. read more

Th's Iver had in my entire life in the portion was ginormous! Nacho supreme is definitely for two people. Nachos are my favorite food so I eat them everywhere! These are hands-down the best. The kids quesadilla was outstanding. The food came very quickly and our server was on point read more

I placed my order online with Uber Eats. This was the first time we've ate from here. Never been to the actual place, but I had ordered a chicken quesadilla & an Arroz Texano. My quesadilla was fine, although it had a lot of melted cheese. While my husband food, the arroz texano, had plastic towards the end of his eating and the taste wasn't good. Not to mention the chips tasted old and stale. Wouldn't recommend this place. Poor representation. read more

Mexico Restaurant - This is what my husband found on his Arroz Texano. Plastic! There was plastic on his food. Would never order food from this place again. - Mexican Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

This is my favorite restaurant! Both my son and I love their food; it's usually our go-to. Not a huge fan of their cheese sauce but that's just me. Their tacos are the best!! The enchiladas and taco salad are awesome too :) read more

Ordered from service that originally said 45 min then went to over hrs in minutes. I canceled they kept all my money. They already prepared part of it. THEY REFUSE ME WHEN I CALLED PICKUP AFTER THAT BECAUSE ONLINE SAID IT WAS PREPARED. read more

My husband and I stopped in for lunch on Wednesday and we were pleased with our service and food. He had the ACP, and I had the Shrimp salad. I found my salad to be satisfying. I am currently using Noom. So the shrimp salad with the salsa as dressing worked out great. Our service was fine. All employees had on masks while we were dining. Lunch for two was roughly 20.00. We would come here again. read more

Service so far is horrible. It's not that busy and our server took like 10 minutes to come back to us after bringing our drinks. But the server is making sure this one table isn't running out of tea! Can't say anything about the food because it hasn't came out yet. Just wanted to rant about the service. read more

We've been eating at Mexico since it opened in the late 80's early 90's. The last few times we've been the food hasn't been stellar. We went on a Friday evening and it was delicious. The crunchy beef taco was juicy and had so much flavor. The guacamole was fresh with cilantro and added so much to the meal. My husband's chicken enchiladas were full of flavor. The service was also great and attentive. read more

I liked this place just fine. It was very clean and the staff was very attentive. The tables were fun and very colorful. I really liked their cheese dip. It had a little kick to it but wasn't overwhelming at all. I liked that the chips were warm when they can to the table and not didn't taste like they had been sitting around all day. I had a simple chicken quesadilla. The chicken was grilled and not shredded with I prefer much more to the latter. It was cooked nicely and wasn't dry at all. The outside of the quesadilla was browned perfectly and had a nice crisp outer shell. The prices were comparable to the quality and were around the prices of most other like establishments. I will be back. It's close to work, fast, and tasty. read more

Colorful decor, upbeat festive music and overall clean dining area. Lunch specials are $4.95. Friendly competent staff. Warm chips, spicy salsa. Photos off food on menus actually look really appetizing:) Full bar & decent selection of bottled beer. Dinner entrees range from $7.65-$10.95. La piña salad looks fabulous, served in half of a pineapple! Enchiladas were served piping hot!! Cuisine is traditional Mexican, not Cal-Mex. Overall very good, would come again. read more

Once a Triad favorite, competition and neglect have rendered this restaurant a place to avoid. An unclean dining area greets guests who notice a general lack of maintenance and upkeep. The food is no longer the fresh, well-prepared fare of past memory. Prices seem a good deal higher than most of the many Mexican restaurants in this area. Service is still a bright spot, and the staff are friendly and attentive. On our recent visit we found the food ranged from tasteless to inedible. The tortillas were inedible and all else was disappointing. Due to my nearly thirty-years of dining here I will return but only to see if my recent experiences prove an outlier. read more

I'm normally not a big Mexican cuisine fan but this was one of the better experiences I've had in the US. Complimentary appetizers include a huge dish of chips and bottles of slightly spicy salsa that left a zing. I ordered the shrimp fajitas which came on a large plate. The rice was buttery and seasoned deliciously with bits of tomato. The refried beans had cheese drizzled throughout it so it made for a guilty goopy mess of yumminess. And the shrimp was tossed with a bed of grilles onions and peppers. The dish also came with a side of 4 soft chewy flour tortillas. read more

Groupon visit turned 'we will return again soon'. Finally got a chance to redeem a lunch Groupon on yesterday at Mexico Restaurant. Dined with my hubby and we were both very pleased. We arrived around 230 and the restaurant was not busy. There were a few gentleman gathered at the bar and a few other patrons eating inside booths. This was our first time here so we were taking in the decor as we walked to our seat. Bright yellow is what comes to mind. Nothing overly fancy or impressive, but definitely not ugly or run down. The outside seating and sign needs a little work but I understand this location has been open for a quite a while. We were seated immediately and of course, served a hot basket of chips promptly thereafter. We ordered our meals, the Speedy Gonzales for me and the Burrito California for my husband. My meal came with a taco and a enchilada and I chose beans for my side. In place of red sauce I asked for cheese and omg...this dish was amazing! Both the taco and the enchilada were seasoned to perfection. The beans were great too, albeit a small serving for a Mexican restaurant. I am used to beans taking a plate of there own. Instead, they were served in between my taco and enchilada. For me, no complaints because I never can eat all of my beans anyway. My husband had the same experience with his rice (small serving) and did complain saying it was not enough for a Man. Lol! But, the taste of his burrito made up for that quickly. His chicken was a marinated chicken (red in color) and he really liked it. We also ordered cheese dip for our chip basket which was good. We were a little disappointed that we never got a refill of chips so we ended up taking home a to go cup of our remaining cheese dip. Our server, as polite as he was, was not expedient or observant. I wonder if he is more a Hostess and not a Server and was asked to fill both shoes that day since it was slow. Who knows. Any rate, we ate well and our food was hot and tasty. That is what mattered most for us yesterday. We both agreed that we would return again soon. read more

Was looking forward to eating here but sadly this place simply did not deliver good dinner fare. We ordered the fried shredded chicken chimichanga and guacamole so can only speak to those two entries. The chimichanga had no flavor, the chicken was very dry. There were some very dried-up black beans on the plate, a very stingy portion by the way. No rice accompanied the dinner. At $10 for the meal, I think this was the least the kitchen staff could have done. What Mexican restaurant doesn't serve rice with their meals? We are from northern California and they ALWAYS do!! The beans tasted like they were out of a can. The meal was simply not attractively plated. The guacamole had a funny taste, was runny, nothing to distinguish it. Also flavorless. The accompanying tomato salsa on the table had a metallic taste. We were told the tortilla chips were house-made but frankly I don't believe it. Also not good. Bathroom was dirty. The waiter was nice enough but never returned to our table to ask if we wanted additional water or if dinner was okay. It wasn't. Won't be back here. Also found the place depressing somehow. Not many people having dinner here. Now I know why. read more

By far the best of the chain. The beans and rice are always fresh and good. The service is always attentive and the prices are very reasonable. The decor is a little dated but I've seen much worse elsewhere. Overall the quality is consistent and the food is good. read more

I ate at this restaurant when it first opened down the street back in the late 1980's. There's a reason this restaurant is still in business. Very friendly staff and great food. I don't live in North Carolina anymore but whenever we pass through the area we try to make a stop here. The sauce on the chicken enchiladas is very unique and i can't get enough of it. I also love their crispy chicken tacos. We also really like the fresh salsa that is provided in mini carafe's with excellent crispy chips and they provide individual salsa bowls so you can double-dip all you want! I can't wait for our next trip to or through Greensboro! read more
