It was packed when we arrived, which I took as a good sign. We walked in and were greeted and seated pretty quickly, so no complaints there. Our waitress' first impression was a bit blah. She seemed either overwhelmed or not really interested, so we waited longer than expected for someone to take our order. A manager eventually came over and greeted us after noticing us sitting there with our menus closed and looking around, which I appreciated. As for the food, it was edible but lacked flavor. Nothing bad, just not memorable. Overall, the experience had its ups and downs, but I'd still consider giving it another try on a less busy night. read more

We frequent this place. Good deal on taco Tuesday - delicious chili relleños! Chips are always warm Service is so friendly.

I was first impressed by the cleanliness, even the menus felt clean. Everything our family got was really delicious. Gluten free options, too. read more

Let me start by saying - We had a huge group - over 30 and they placed us in the back area. That part was great, because we had a nice private area. But let's talk about the food and service. I was not impressed with the service nor the food overall. My carne asada (steak alone) was very good BUT the rice seemed like an afterthought and tasted undercooked or day old. It was just hard. The pico de gallo was super fresh so that's a plus too! The white sauce was thicker than I am used to - and not great to me. But I think white sauce is subjective. We had one server for that large of a party when we were told we would have 2. When the food came out, it was totally disorganized and they didn't know who ordered what. FYI we were also told that groups that large cannot have separate checks so we had to go to the front and tell them what we ordered to pay. That created a huge line when it was time to go. I will not rush to go back. I was thankful to celebrate what we did with who we did in a private setting, but it would not be my go-to for Mexican food. Overall, I'm glad we had a private space but they could have done better on the food and the service. read more

I thought it was just fare and more expensive than I expected for a relatively small lunch portion ($22). I had the fajitas Del Mar and thought that it tasted fishy. Not so bad that I didn't eat it but bad enough that I wouldn't recommend it. Server was ok. Didn't offer much outside of bringing what we had ordered. read more

First and last time ordering. The chicken quesadilla was a joke. Barely any chicken but tons of lettuce. My burrito and enchilada contained bland ground beef and were topped with what tasted like spaghetti sauce. Overall a nasty dinner. read more

The atmosphere was family friendly. I had Nachos Supreme. The supreme is to add lettuce, tomato and sour cream. To get it close to o the way I like it, I ordered the guacamole and added it to the nachos. It was very good. My husband had a combo dinner with burritos and enchiladas with a side of Spanish rice which he said was very good. The specialty mixed drink, I had was very balanced and delicious without being too sweet. Kudos to the bartender. The salsa was very tasty and the cheese dip was good. We placed a to go order for my son, a taco dinner. That was well packaged. They included chips and salsa with his taco dinner. The waitress was excellent. She timed his to go order to come out as we were finished with our dinner. This was a great place to eat in or carry out. read more

Mr. Pepe would never!!! I ordered the shrimp and crab dip via UberEats. The food was delivered with 3 tortilla chips in the dip. Not only were they soggy, but when I called the restaurant and requested the situation be mitigated, the owner, Eddy, brushed off my complaint. I had to then drive to the restaurant in order to pick up a new order- without the chips in it! Terrible customer service- I will not take my money there again. Stay away from this place! read more

Terrible service.. took 30 minutes for food after we ordered and the food lacked taste and had no cheese. Used to love this place but I'm done with it read more

We ordered tonight via grub hub and had a little snafu so to speak. Looks like what may have happened is the wrong ticket was stapled to the bag. I called the restaurant to let them know. They were so lovely in correcting the order. We don't live far so we told them we would just run up and get the order. The gentleman who helped me was amazing. He was very apologetic and I really appreciated it. The food was very very good. My husband and I crashed on the couch and have been there for hours . I have never been to Mexico restaurants but I will definitely be going back !! It was really good read more

Mann, this place has gone way downhill. My friend lives next to the Forest Hill location and this place pales in comparison. Service is decent enough but the food is terrible. We ordered the quesabirria tacos today...sloppy wet tacos. How ya gonna have a wet taco?! Salsa from a jar, not fresh. Jalapeños in margs not muddled, just dropped into drink. No bueno, Mexico. read more

Idk what everyone else is on but the food is good every time I went they seasoned it good everytime it's not bland like some other restaurants are with their food and I know how to season food so I know for sure this food from this restaurant ain't bland ‍‍ read more

Way to go on updating the menu! New clean menus and updated. Tonite I ordered the spinach quesadilla filled with sautéed spinach, potato, zucchini, squash, onion and cheese. Incredible I would definitely order it again. Loaded with flavor and not soggy, which was what I expected. The Gen Z's rushing around like arrows need to take note: don't talk about your pay with customers or complain about your side work (that's part Of the job role) . If you never worked as a server, the hourly rate is somewhere between $2.15 and $3 (not sure if it's changed much since I served). But servers make most of their money from tips. If you never knew that, now you know. It took a good 30+ minutes for our food to come out, but again it's $1 a taco Tuesday. I'm giving 5 stars for the new updated menu and the food. read more

I love this place! I have been to several of their locations, but frequent this one the most. They are consistently good with food and service. Perfect, no, but I have never left unsatisfied. Chips and salsa are great and they will bring you free refills. My only wish is that they also served the white sauce (not queso) that's a little in the sweet side, I'm not sure what it's called. I get the chimichangas or some sort of quesadilla and they have always tasted great. read more

Yuck. Nothing is more frustrating than to have a bad meal and then when you actually say something. It made no affect. I waited tables. If someone said to me man, unfortunately this is just not good.. not sure I'd shrug my shoulders and then hand them a bill for the full amount .. especially if I literally ate nothing but a bite or two it was that bad. I'd atleast try to give them a better experience so hopefully they would come back. Nope. Never again. I actually was so mad I wanted to speak to the manager. I've never done that. read more

The food was awful! I love Mexican and this was by far the worst tasting food ever. Not sure how anyone likes the food here. I've been to Short Pump location years ago and it was terrible then not sure why I tried again at another location. The waitress was as very nice and accommodating. read more

The deep fried avocados were really good. Service was excellent. The chills and salsa were good. Everything was good. Don't know why this place didn't have a higher rating. Almost skipped it. read more

Mexico Restaurant - a plate of chicken wings and a salad - Tacos Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

Too expensive and the food is not that good! Our steak was overcooked, the chori pollo had no flavor at all, also we had to keep asking for refills! Not a good service! read more

So I'm reviewing based on food cause I think service was great & glad they're open through this COVID life. Chips & Salsa good. Margaritas tasted weird. I had my share of different types but there was something about these I couldn't put my finger on. I ordered a chimichanga & was a little thrown back it's not a deep fried burrito but more like taquitos. I ordered beef & it was bland. No flavor. My mom ordered a quesadilla & she said it was just floppy. I feel a quesadilla should be toasty on the outside. My wife order taquito sample & she agreed too steak was dried & potatoes were mushy. I can truly say this was not what I expected. Outdoor seating was real nice tho read more

The food is crazy salty. Much more saltier than other Mexican Restaurants. My son normally eats every bite, he ate 1/2 his meal because it was so salty. He didn't even want to take home his left overs. read more

Very disappointed in the food. Burritos were supposee to come with beans and covered in cheese . None of they was the case. When we pointed this out, no one cared to fix it. They said more people have pointed it out. When we mentioned this to the manager he was not really interested and kept making excuses for why it was that way. Really disappointed in the food and Hoosier it was handled. Won't be back. You shouldn't either. read more

Came with a friend, margaritas were okay, my chicken was rubbery, I sent back my whole meal( uneaten) and my friend ate half of his food before feeling ill. They still tried to charge me the $13 for my meal and my friend still paid for his because he had already eaten half and felt he should, even though I told the manager his food made him feel sick. He spent the day at home with food poisoning today. After coming on yelp I see they've had complaints like this in the past. AVOID THIS PLACE!! read more

We haven't been here in like 10 years. We thought we give it a shot since it's the closest Mexican restaurant to her house. We sat down and had the same old chips and boring salsa from years ago. The waiter left for like 10 minutes took our order and proceeded to leave for another what I was another 10 minutes. We sat there with empty chips and water glasses and when he finally came back he didn't even offer to refill them. We just got up and left. there are too many other choices to deal with that. read more

This is my GO-TO Mexican restaurant. I moved to Midlothian about a year ago. I've tried most of the local Mexican restaurants up and down Hull Street. Nothing comes close. To be fair I can't comment on wait staff because due to the pandemic I haven't eaten-in. But that take-out has been absolutely incredible. Huge proportions and delicious food. Kudos to the chef. And the front desk staff have always been warm, inviting and attentive. I look forward to eating-in soon but I will definitely continue to buy here. Try the Carne Asada. It's divine. read more

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, in a period in my life where I didn't think that I liked Mexican food, the chain of Mexico restaurants across RVA initially opened my eyes to the fact that I, actually, DID like Mexican food! For that reason alone, Mexico will always hold a place near and dear to my heart... ...that said, sadly, while my love affair with Mexican food initially stated here, my palate must have evolved a bit over time, because this Mexico is NOT what I remember!!! The family and I visited the Chesterfield location off of Hull St. this past weekend in an attempt for some variety to our normal Mexican routine. As I mentioned in another review, our staple for Mexican these days is The Don (Don Pepe), and we almost exclusively go there in most instances. First thing that concerned me about Mexico was there was no wait for a party of 4 at 7 pm on a Friday night. My spider sense was tingling already, and we weren't even seated yet. We were seated promptly and before I could even crack my menu, the waiter was at our table asking us if we were ready to order. We kindly said that we would need some more time, so he took our drink orders and disappeared into the kitchen. Not possibly more than 120 seconds later, he was back with our drinks, again, asking us if we were ready to order. Sheesh! We told him that we hadn't been in a while and would need some more time. He obliged and, believe it or not, was back less than 2 minutes later AGAIN asking us if we were ready to order. Again, we said no, instead I asked if they had any salsa blanco or queso dip -- to which he said yes, and walked away. Ummmm...ok. I probably should have been more clear that I didn't want both, but was simply asking if they had these items -- regardless, he returned with both a few minutes later and...you guessed it...asked us if we were ready to order. Don't get me wrong, I love attentive service, but this was bordering on bothersome. Thankfully we were ready this time and placed our orders: I ordered the carnitas (my measuring stick for the quality of a Mexican restaurant) with spanish rice and refried beans, the wife ordered a chicken quesadilla and side of spanish rice, and my daughter deviated from her normal order and asked for a beef soft taco. I'd say that my meal was far and away the worst of what we ordered. The carnitas were an incredibly disappointing combination of gummy fat chunks and crispy burnt ends, with maybe 20% of the total meat actually being edible roasted pork (it was barely enough to fill one of the three tortillas that were provided). The rice was bland and undercooked (not sure who likes crunchy rice) and the refried beans both looked -- and tasted -- like gray drywall mud. In a word, gross. Normally I could compensate for a subpar dish at a Mexican restaurant with chips, salsa, and queso -- not the case here. The chips were WAY overcooked and tasted like burnt popcorn. The queso was tasty and had a decent amount of warmth from the chilies, but looked like it had been cooking for too long; it had several lumps and wasn't very creamy. Double fail. On a lighter note, the wife LOVED her chicken quesadilla, going as far to say that it was actually better than The Don's. The chicken was actually seasoned (not typical boiled and shredded), and the quesadilla had not only a good amount of creamy cheese, but also had a flavorful combo of diced and grilled green peppers and onions! On the downside, she agreed with me on the rice...no real flavor to speak of at all. My daughter's simple ground beef soft taco was even better than my carnitas. A little on the greasy side, but at least the meat was moist and had a smoky flavor (cumin?). Perhaps the server knew that we were somewhat dissatisfied when he cleared our plates and just about all of us were opting to discard a portion of our meals without boxes, because after the plates were gone, so was he. For easily 10+ minutes and was no where to be found in the dining room. A very unpleasant way to finish a dinner when you have to chase down your server to pay them for food that you didn't like in the first place. I really wanted to give Mexico 1 Star, but the wife convinced me to go for 2 since her quesadilla was actually better than The Don's. That said, Mexico is more expensive (they even charge you $1 for a 2nd bowl of chips) for worse food and inconsistent service. If anything, this was a good exercise to (re)confirm that Don Pepe is still the best in Chesterfield. We won't be back. read more

Mexico Restaurant - Carnitas with Spanish Rice and Refried Beans - Tacos Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

Service a 1. Hello? Where are you?? Chicken fajitas are super dry. Mole tastes like canned broth. Citrus shrimp salad was skimpy. Kids meals good. No plans to return. read more

I have always loved Mexico-one of my favorite restaurants. However, this one has been a big disappointment last two times we ate here. Apparently queso is rationed -there is a dire shortage similar to that of other highly prized ingredients such as truffle oil and Kobe beef. I might have spotted a drop of the elusive substance on the edge of my plate but it sure wasn't "poured over my chori pollo". If I come again I will bring my own cheese. read more

Read about this chain's rapid expansion around Richmond so thought I'd give 'em a try last night. It was National Margarita Day and went with a group of friends. We arrived @ 6 pm on a Monday and the restaurant wasn't even half full. The service was friendly, but slow and inattentive. Our drinks were empty for quite a while, as were our chips. Some members of our party needed simple things like straws, but our waiter had disappeared into the abyss. After about 15 mins, I complained to the manager about the lack of service. The service improved a bit after that, with the manager pitching in briefly, but as the evening wore on, the service dissipated once again. If service is this inattentive/ inept on a slow Monday night, I hate to experience dining here on a busy weekend. Not surprising, the food took quite a while to arrive as well. When it did, it was marginal in taste... not bad, but uninteresting... "blah" comes to mind. I ordered the shrimp tacos, which I have enjoyed at other Mexican restaurants in the area. I was surprised and disappointed when the tacos arrived with just [empty] tortillas w/ some grilled shrimp dropped inside. There was a very small container of cole slaw (maybe two tablespoons) on the plate, and a small bowl of white rice ... that's it. I asked the waiter for more cole slaw, since the amount given to me barely filled ONE taco (there were three tacos in the order). He said 'okay', then disappeared into the abyss again. After waiting almost 10 mins, I ended up eating my shrimp tacos with just the white rice. My friends had similar impressions of food they had ordered ('not that great') so I think it's fairly safe to assume most will not return... at least not to this location. read more

I am suspicious of Alicia's one star review. There are many lower quality Mexican restaurants in the area, but Mexico is not one of them. This is our favorite Mexican place on the south side, better then Rico's and on par with Plaza Azteca. Their fresh guacamole and mole poblano are both consistently very good. The atmosphere at Plaza Azteca is a bit nicer - I would rather bring my unruly toddler here. read more

The food was tasty, but the portions were rather small. I would have given more stars but the server was inattentive and forgot several items that we ordered. When I mentioned it to her she did not seem to care. I mentioned it to the manager and her did nothing but make excuses for her. We will not be back. read more
