Mexico Restaurant is easily one of my go-to spots when I'm craving Mexican food on island. Let's be real--we don't always have the best selection here, but this place is definitely one of the above-average standouts. The portions are HUGE (you'll see in my photos), and everything comes out super satisfying. The guac is made fresh and the chips are always perfectly crunchy and just the right amount of salty--honestly hard to stop eating. Service is always a highlight. The staff is incredibly friendly, and our server was especially bubbly and sweet, which made the whole experience even better. Also, the horchata--while definitely on the sweeter side--is packed with cinnamon flavor and comes in a full-sized pitcher, which is kind of iconic. Not to mention ther full sized bar and Hispanic decor and music - a total vibe! Only thing to keep in mind: the parking lot is pretty tight, especially during peak times or weekend dinners. But once you're inside, it's 100% worth it. Solid, reliable spot for good Mexican food on island--I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a satisfying meal. read more

The food is PLENTIFUL and flavor immensely better than average Mexican food restaurants. Take it from someone who lived in Tucson AZ for four years. Jacky was our server! She was awesome! She was happy go lucky and made our family birthday celebration special. The ambiance is great here but you need to come here to see for yourself. Parking is first come first serve but when full, there is also street parking when full. I was happily surprised how good the food was. And please try their churro fried ice cream cuz that is "SLAP YA MAMMA" good! read more

Always wondered about this place as we always visit a restaurant across the road and I'm glad we did today. A guava and a mango margarita for libations and a chile relleno plate, plus a birria plate for me! Consommé was delicious, not overly salty or oily, and the perfect amount of food. Rice and beans were delicious as well. Smaller parking lot and this place was pumping for a Sunday morning. Chill servers, cumbia music on, and not that long of a wait. Plates were 20-35 dollars, 4 dollars for chips and salsa, 14 bucks for keiki menu items. read more

We stopped by on Cinco de Mayo, so it was incredibly busy, but we were still able to get a table without too much of a wait. The host greeted us warmly, took our names down, and got us seated quickly despite the crowd. Our server, I believe his name was Jose, was fantastic -- fast, efficient, and very knowledgeable about the menu. We've been here before, but it had been quite a while, and this visit definitely reminded us why people love this place. The ambiance was lively and high-energy, which made the experience even more fun and festive. We ordered the trio fajitas, flautas, mushroom skillet, chips and salsa, churros with ice cream, and horchata. Everything was delicious and came out hot and fresh. In my opinion, they have the best horchata and churros on the island. The churros were perfectly crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and paired so well with the ice cream. One thing to note: chips and salsa used to be complimentary, but now there's a charge for them. That said, the salsa was excellent during this visit, so we didn't mind too much. Overall, the entire staff was friendly, attentive, and handled the Cinco de Mayo rush really well. Even with how packed it was, the service never felt rushed or chaotic. Looking forward to coming back again soon! read more

Driven by this restaurant many times and always wanted to try it since I'm always looking for legit Mexican food. Food was good and the portions are huge! I got the beef fajita burrito while my friend got the grande burrito with chicken only. Both burritos were well prepared and full of flavor. We ordered chips and salsa as well. Had to add some salt to the chips. I also got a passion fruit margarita with Ling hi mui topping. That was good! Service was great. Inside of the restaurant is a bit tight just like it's parking lot outside. Be back again to try more of their food. read more

Review is for party of 2 walk in on a weekday. Family friendly restaurant with casual vibes. Wait time: none but it wasn't very busy on a Thursday night. Parking: small lot next to restaurant holds about 15 cars but is very tight. Service: service was quick & friendly. Drinks: Drinks are served in a larger bowl but surprisingly the sour mix did not overtake the flavor of alcohol. Well worth the money. Food: The carne asada fries were good but on the soggy/soft side so next time I'd ask for them to be fried crispier. Mexico burrito was delicious! Pro tip: ask for the burrito sauces on the side instead of topped. What's not worth it: El Patron plate. The charbroiled marinated steak was waaaay overcooked and tough to eat. We asked for MR and came out well done. The actual piece of meat was also pretty bland for being "marinated". read more

The menu changed since the last time we've been here but the food tastes so much better than I remember! So yummy! However I recall that chips and salsa used to be free. This time it wasnt. We ordered guacamole with chips. Yummy. But it needed salsa because it got dry and needed salt. So we asked for salsa, because we thought we would still get free chips and salsa. We were billed $2 for the salsa - came in a small little dish. Unfortunately it tasted like marinara sauce so we didnt eat it. The frozen li hi mui margaritas was incredibly yummy! The papaya taco salad (cant recall the exact menu name) with white fish was yummy too. $22 + $5 Lots of fish. So tasty that we didnt need the ranch dressing. Taquitos (chicken) is always tasy, well seasoned. Add $4 to make it a meal. Refried beans good. But their rice is stellar! Excellent flavor! Finished off the beef burrito plate. Can't go wrong. read more

It's been years since we've been here. Having just returned from San Diego, I was still wanting Mexican food and what better place than Mexico. We came on a Sunday, late afternoon. I usually order chille relleno's but opted for a vegetarian burrito. It came with black beans and a salad. I was not disappointed. It was flavorful and filling. I saved half for later. The mr had a Mexico burrito and also saved half of his plate for dinner. Parking is hit or miss and not a traditional parking structure. Service was prompt and friendly. read more

05/05/25 happy Cinco de Mayo! Why the fourth star? Well it's because they changed and upgraded the establishment. It's cleaner, more organized, more of Guadalajara than you can expect. I haven't been here in a while, so definitely a difference is obvious. The food is still is great as you can expect it to be It's more expensive than what it used to be. But, that's expected considering it's been years since my last review and also, cost-of-living has gone up. Cost of food has gone up and the list goes on. They have new staffing, all wearing uniform T-shirts, which is pretty cute. I went there today because today is Cinco de Mayo. I also visited after the lunch, rush, and before the dinner rush. Like I said food is good, hasn't changed in fact it's pretty neat the way they present it. So if you're looking for a good Mexican meal with recipes that come from the mother country and the mother land, Guadalajara this is the place to go. read more

The service at the restaurant was very slow, and it took forever to get the check at the end of the meal. My family and I waited a long time just to place our order, and the food also took much longer than expected to arrive. Even after we finished eating, no one came to clear the table or ask if we needed anything else. We tried to get the waiter's attention several times, but it still took a while before they finally brought the check. Although the food tasted good, the slow service made the experience frustrating and less enjoyable for everyone at the table that evening. read more

Cinco de Mayo was the day to have lunch at Mexico, located on School Street in Kalihi. Arrived around 11:30 to avoid the lunch crowd, which had already beat us. The staff was running around at a pretty fast clip but managed to find us a table for the four of us. Right off I ordered my favorite home made lemonade in a mini pitcher. Two of us ordered our favorites, and two of my friends had vegetarian dishes, which looked (and tasted) so good that we actually finished our meals without needing a to-go box! That is rare, and a testimony to how good their food is. Personally, I highly recommend their Huevos Rancheros even after the breakfast hour. Yummy!! Check our mouth-watering plates below. read more

If you're craving bold flavors and comforting Mexican classics, Mexico Restaurant absolutely delivers! The shredded barbacoa tacos were the highlight -- perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with that slow-cooked richness you can only get from real-deal barbacoa. The tortillas were soft and warm, making each bite melt in your mouth. We also tried the mini quesadillas and don't let the size fool you -- these were little pockets of cheesy goodness with just the right amount of crisp on the outside and gooey filling inside. Perfect for sharing... or not! To finish it all off, the **churros with ice cream** were a dream. Golden and crispy on the outside, soft and cinnamon-sugar coated on the inside, served with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream that melted just enough to become the perfect dipping sauce. Friendly staff, quick service, and a menu full of crowd-pleasers -- this spot is definitely worth a visit read more

Been a very long time since we been...mainly cuz parking is tight and hard to find along School Street. But there was a stall for a truck...not big enough for ours...and luckily someone else was going out so we snagged theirs. Got in okay since was early...got crowded when we were leaving. I'm a sucker for queso skillets. This was tasty but use regular shredded kinda cheese instead of the melty cheese that's all nice and creamy. So this one hardens junk, isn't as easily scoopable, and you can see/taste the oil. But it's still cheese...so we happily ate it. Baby was eating the cheese and giving us back her chip. That kid... Hubs got Menudo and a couple crunchy tacos. Menudo was pretty tasty. I got the combo with quesadilla, enchilada and chalupa. Enchilada seemed like the kind of homemade burritos I make at home...no enchilada sauce or much of anything other than cheese on top. I guess I didn't know what a chalupa was b/c it was just a taco shell bowl filled with taco stuff in it. Came with refried beans and rice...baby liked the beans, but would have preferred black beans. Not sure if that's an option there. Margs were tasty but pretty weak. Could use an extra shot at least. Waitress super nice and helpful. Cook in the kitchen looked angry, but he smiled and waved at my baby when she waved at him...my baby is my soft spot, so that just made me so happy. Was a fun dinner even if the food was just okay...mariachi would have kicked it up a notch tho! read more

Wanted to try this place since I had a craving for Mexican food. The inside is pretty and has nice decoration. Got to try the grande burrito which is pretty big with chicken and beef in it, and also comes with a side salad. It was pretty good, wish it had more seasoning on it because unfortunately it was a bit bland. It is a bit expensive but it is also a bit burrito, I had leftovers for another night. The chips also are an extra charge for $3 but I wanted to try so we got some for the table. They seemed to be baked chips, or they just taste like they are. I believe they fry the chips in big batches every morning and leave it out until ordered, so it didn't seem fresh to me. I was a bit disappointed in the chips since it was an extra charge, I wish it were fresh or at least warm. I would return again if I want a quick place for Mexican food. read more

Called the restaurant on NYE to confirm what time they are closing and they said 3pm, last take out order will be at 2:30. So my family and I drove 45 minutes and got to the restaurant at 1:00pm. I asked for a table and the staff rudely said we're closed. I explained to the hostess that I called this morning to confirm, and was told I was wrong and sorry they are closed. They completely refused to offer any help, show any empathy, or offer take out. Not even a tortilla chip. This was the second time I had an issue there. I'll never go back there again. Did I mention how horrible the parking is there too? read more

My friends and I got seated rather immediately which was already a green flag. Friday night, 8PM. They did not have any booth or table seating available, but they offered to seat us at the bar instead. The server/waiter came around several times asking us if we were ready to order and made sure we settled in just fine. They never rushed us to order or made us feel like we had to hurry and get fed and leave. The food came out rather quick, no more than 15 minutes after the drinks and chips arrived. Food was spectacular. I'm normally not a refried beans and rice fan, but HOLY. They do it pretty damn well. The birria tacos were tasty, and served with some well complementing consome. The only thing for me was the pricing of the food. It was a few dollars more than that of what I'd anticipate, but for the most part I got my bang for buck. The lighting was nice, no super loud parties. No extremely bright lights overbearing me or the TVs at the bar. Just a nice cozy spot where I could have a couple of drinks and enjoy my food. All in all, would come here again! And would suggest to others. A meal for three of us (including drinks and tip) came out to about $175. read more

We've been going to Mexico for years. Food has been the same. Satisfactory, but never amazing. It got the Mexican food craving out of the way that we've needed. In recent years tho, the service has gone down hill a little. I've had a lot of orders with mistakes, missing stuff from take out, sometimes food coming out more than half an hour after we've ordered. There's an old aunty that begs for food from the customers and the employees just kinda ignore her until she's overly harassing. In the most recent event, my mom and cousin just went and felts something biting at them. After they checked their seats, they found bed bugs in the cushions. They alerted the employees and they took the seats away. Not sure if they will be doing more. Really sad because I loved going there when I was kid. In recent years, had not been to my liking. Hope they can change and do better. read more

Great food, fast service, huge huge portions small parking lot though would recommend this place definitely will return!

CAUTION!!!! FOOD POISONING! I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience deserves to be shared. After eating a burrito from this restaurant, I developed food poisoning and was violently ill for hours. I spent the entire day in bed, unable to eat or drink, and had to take medication just to manage the symptoms. This raises serious concerns about food handling and safety. I would strongly caution others before ordering from here. Unfortunately, this was a very unpleasant and avoidable experience. read more

What better place to replenish calories burnt during a work voluteership than a trip to Mexico! Came here once before many years ago and ambiance has remained consistent. Atmosphere is fun. Service was amazing. Our server accommodated our large group with a friendly demeanor and enthusiasm. I was surprised how fast our appetizers and food came. They did not disappoint. Chili relleno is my favorite whenever I crave Mexican cuisine. It was lightly battered, seasoned to perfection and all the sides rounded out the dish perfectly. Although Mexican food can be quite heavy, my meal hit just right! I want more just writing about it. Check this place out if you're craving a fun, delicious, and out-of-Hawaii dining experience. read more
