    Chicken fajitas- delicious but sad they don't serve it on the sizzling skillet. Rice is yummy too.
    Natalie W.

    I'm happy I found them and decided to try them when I was in the area. The service is good and good tastes good. I ordered a strawberry margarita and it was very good. The salsa is good and comes with a warmed type of salsa (not my fave, but not horrible, pico and a typical red salsa (this was my fave). I ordered chicken fajitas and got a good amount of chicken and the rice was very good. My mom ordered steak tacos and a shredded chicken tostada and liked all of her food. We will be returning because it's hard to find good authentic Mexican food.

    Picked up from this place few times before and the food was very promising, so decided to step by for a dinner on a weekday night. First, the thing I liked best was the service. It wasn't quite busy there at the moment, but they weren't short handed and could've cover even if all tables get taken. Although we had a dedicated server, others also offered help with refills and other immediate needs. Everyone looked happy and friendly and that's what I like, you guys rock! Again, the food was great as I expected. Complimentary tortillas came with 3 side salsas: tomato, pickled veggies and pico de gallo - all of these were legit. I got my favorite Chiles Rellenos, while my girlfriend went with Tostadas; check both out on the pics below. All of these were freshly made, super flavorful and very tasty. Kitchen 5 stars too, no questions asked. What I will have a question about though, is a Margarita. Using drink mix in a Mexican Place is outrageous! This has to be authentic! This is your national drink guys, you have to fix this! Moreover, we're talking about the place with a full-size bar, not just someone pouring in the back... One more detail, the interior does look a little outdated... Not sure how old this place is, but I think its a right time to implement some small cosmetic changes. Mexico Uno has an authentic spirit and great potential. Investing a little bit of hard work and dedication may improve it and make the best in the area!

    It was never great but our last take out was for lack of a better word - just terrible. Soggy, greasy, the flour torillas? Terrible.

    Amazing food!! The salsa and salmon taco was fabulous!!! I 1,000% recommend!!…read more The server Ruben was top notch!

    While in town for a work seminar, the front desk assistant at my hotel recommended this place with…read morea personal rave review. So, I stopped in during the week, just after lunch time and found this little hole-in-the wall of a restaurant conveniently nestled in a shopping center next to the local Walmart. Even though I walked in and the restaurant was completely empty, the pure vibrancy of the decor and the cheerfulness of the staff encouraged me to stay. Not to mention that the aroma making its way out from the kitchen was absolutely mouth-watering. I took a seat at the bar while I perused the menu and was delighted in the simplicity of it. You know the food is about to be fire when the menu is simple and a restaurant focuses on what it does well. In addition to the excellent service, the food was absolutely phenomenal. I started off with some chips and salsa.... which was delightfully flavorful and perfectly crisp. Then, I had a bowl of the tortilla soup. Each spoonful was like deja vu. Each bite made me feel like I was in my grandmother's kitchen as a little girl all over again. The broth was perfectly seasoned and each bite came with a chunk of chicken and an assortment of veggies... truly perfecto! Once I was done with the appetizers, I made my decision to try two tacos from the menu. The first was a salmon taco--and it didn't TASTE FISHY. It was grilled to perfection and then paired with an unexpected yet delicious topping of crispy potato strings and chipotle aioli. I ate every bite of this. It was the perfect combination of crunch and flavor, I just couldn't get enough. Then I also ordered the carne asada a cabron taco. Simple, yet dynamically flavorful. I was so full at this point but took this one home to eat at a later time. Still as amazing as the day I ordered it i'm sure. While I neglected to have any desserts or margaritas here, I was assured that they are just as remarkable as anything else. I had a wonderful meal, excellent service and I greatly look forward to going back if i'm ever in the area again for work. 10/10 Highly recommend!!
