Tacoooo
Gissell M.

Music, food and fun. Love stopping in whether on a date night or with a crowd. Fundido is a must everytime. Cocktails are great and the tequila options feel overwhelming. Overall I look forward to coming back and trying a new Antojitos.

The vibe at Meximodo is unmatched so is the food and service . The parking garage next door is complimentary for guests who dine at the restaurant. Park n walk into a high energy restaurant that rocks upbeat music , a grand colorful bar with their tequila collection, the unmatched decor and a classy meal . Raymond waited at our table and he lknew the menu and made some good suggestions Cantarita and Mocktail passion fruit margarita were great picks . House chips and salsa with fresh pico offered a great start to our meal . Followed by Truffle street corn which was a creamy crushed corn with truffle flavor with 2 crisp tortilla to scoop the corn . Chicken poppers with a Ranch harissa dipping sauce had a little kick to it but offered the creamy texture to dip the saucy fried chicken The Baja fish tacos had Alaskan fried cod with a cabbage slaw and the the kicked up ranch making it a mouthful goodness I loved everything about this place and would highly recommend it .

Shrimp & Watermelon Aguachile

Hip date night spot! I've tried to visit this establishment in the past (about six months ago) and there was a very long wait, even with a reservation. Due to the long wait (1 hr+) in the fall, we ended up leaving and not trying out this restaurant. This time, I was pleasantly surprised that we were seated within a few minutes in the outside dining area, even without a reservation this go around. The drinks are the focal point! There are so many options, all of which are unique and delicious, and they come out looking so fun. I had the Tamarindo and my husband opted for El Jefe. The Tamarindo had a delicious, sour tajin rim. I was sold from that point on! Before any food came out, we were provided with complementary chips, pico de gallo, and hot sauce. A nice way to ease into the food. Our appetizer was a citrusy shrimp dish, with the seafood plated on avocado mouse. I've never tried avocado in this format and it was so delightful- soft and creamy! The sauce was perfectly citrusy and the presentation made it look like art. My main dish was the spicy shrimp tacos. They were sufficiently packed, not overfilled, which I appreciated. I was full after one taco and had two more to take home. Overall, this is a good energy, lively spot with loud Latin music and good eats. Slightly on the pricier side, but well worth the energetic atmosphere. Staff were so friendly and helpful- couldn't ask for more in this department. Great way to spend a summer evening!

Complimentary popcorn

Came here at random after trying to find a place to go for lunch together. Not bad. A large venue with metered street parking & a parking garage around the corner. They validate parking at the restaurant when you leave if you ask. Bright "Mexican" themed interior. Modern & clean approach, friendly staff. They give complimentary Popcorn. Kettle style so slightly sweet & seasoned with salt & tajin. We ordered the Mi Amor Margarita & Mockarita (Margarita Mocktail)[not pictured]. They have a small mocktail menu, FYI. For food we had Truffle Street Corn, Salsa Flight, & Chef Taco Board. The Chef Taco Board feeds 3 people, we used it for 4. It comes with 9 Tacos & 1 side. You can choose from the list of Tacos that they have, so you get 3 of each taco you choose. We chose the Jalisco Birria Melt Tacos, Slow Braised Carnita Tacos, & Pineapple Fire Shrimp Tacos, our chosen side was the Yuca fries. A nice an experience & a place I'd recommend if someone were in the area looking for Mexican. Note: They add a 2.90% convenience fee to your check for card usage. Not a fan of that, but whatever.

Shrimp and guacamole appetizer

This restaurant is so great! We went for lunch today with a big group and the food was delicious. The portions are a very good size and the restaurant is super beautiful with these grand lights and a really nice bar mural. The only thing is it can be seriously noisy in here as it's a really large space- and if they're showing an event like fifa's World Cup you will absolutely not be able to hear the people you're with. Also sometimes when I go there's been people randomly recording (from the business) and they are just walking around on their phones taking video of the patrons - it feels very weird and has happened twice when I was there.

Enchiladas with Verde Sauce and veg trio
Ina S.

We went to Meximodo, Metuchen, NJ for my birthday on May 5th. It was a great experience. We had a lovely afternoon with great food and ambiance. Ordered corn and roasted tomatoes Guacamole, El Jefe bowl, and Enchiladas with Verde sauce with veggie trio and in drinks ordered Margarita. Everything was really good but enchiladas hit the spot. Loved the vibe of the place. It's a beautiful space. Service was great too.

I had a great experience at Meximodo. The atmosphere is beautiful, modern, vibrant, and perfect for a night out.The food was excellent. The chips came with several different salsas, each with its own flavor and spice level, which was a really nice touch. Everything we ordered was fresh and well seasoned. The tacos were delicious, and the elote style dish was rich and flavorful. The drinks were also impressive. The cocktail presentation was beautiful and tasted just as good as it looked. Our waiter Miguel was fantastic.very attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. His service definitely added to the overall experience. Great food, great drinks, great service. I'll definitely be coming back.

Drinks 5 stars (for the area). Food 3.5 stars. Ambience/decor 5 stars. I am a frequent visitor to Meximodo Metuchen because 1) I'm always in Metuchen, 2) They have excellent drinks, 3) they have food my kids will eat, and 4) the ambience is great! With that being said, the food can be just OK sometimes, depending what you get. I do LOVE the chorizo queso fundido and pumpkin queso, yuca fries, and some other random apps and dishes. Shrimp tacos aren't bad too. However, we've gotten the fish tacos and other meat tacos like barbacoa which can be underwhelming or dry (meat). Fish tacos had too much batter and I could barely taste the fish. Was also not impressed by the mole, although the mole sauce itself wasn't bad. The shrimp & watermelon aquachile was plated and presented excellently with smoke and everything, but I'm not sure I would pay $22 for some watermelon again. Would love it if you brought maybe an oxtail or bone marrow taco or surtida tacos, or maybe even some good brisket tacos. Am I also asking for too much to see if you can house make your own tortillas? LOL My fave drink is the cocolada, but they are ALL amazing cocktails. Oh, and they have the largest tequila selection at a bar in the US. My husband is into that though, I'm more of a cocktail person. Service is usually good too and some of them really know their tequilas! I hope they bring back the happy hour specials though, because we always end up spending quite a bit! Also, I ABSOLUTELY love the decor all the time. They change it up with each season and various holidays, and even gave my daughter a legit meximodo teddy bear on valentine's day for brunch!

Guava margarita
Carissa C.

We came here for an earlier dinner and were sat right away. The decor in here is so amazing, colors vibrant, definitely makes you instantly happy. Our waiter was very kind taking time to explain the menu and discuss what choices would be best for us. I had the guava margarita with a tajin rim absolutely amazing drink. The roasted corn and tomato guacamole had a ln authentic rustic flavor. The chicken enchiladas were delectable, entire plate done. Family friendly and decent pricing.

chicken poppers
Kimberlie C.

Presentation was good, but the flavors didn't exactly wow us. Look, this place is good for drinks and a hang. But wouldn't necessarily go out of my way for the tacos. Standout was their chocolate mole salsa

Mitzi T.

Food and atmosphere were good & cute for a girls night. Loved their margarita. They have a parking deck behind the restaurant & they are able to comp the parking! Service could have been a little better, at the end we just felt rushed by the waitress but all in all it was a good spot.

Bar

Meximoto was a pretty average experience overall. The ambiance was actually one of the best parts -- the decor was beautiful, and the wall and bar area were especially impressive. It created a really nice atmosphere and gave the restaurant a lot of character. The sangria was good, and the street corn was one of the highlights -- it had a nice kick and great flavor. The guacamole was okay, but nothing that really stood out. The biggest issue was the service. Our server barely checked on us, and we never even caught her name. The food took a very long time to come out, and we kept noticing other tables looking around and waiting too, so it didn't seem like it was just our table. What was frustrating was that our server never stopped by to give us an update, acknowledge the delay, or apologize. When the food finally arrived, the tacos were presented nicely, and my boyfriend enjoyed them. However, after such a long wait and lack of communication, I'm not sure the food was worth the experience. Overall, the space itself is beautiful and there were a few good items, but the lack of service really took away from the visit.

The service is good and the tacos are good and the drinks the place is very classy and they have out door dinning as well

Great irish pub. Traditional dark pub ambience. Plenty of seating. Nice food and drink menu…read more Service was good- we were there around bit early for dinner so it wasn't busy. We had the fried pickles which were so good - the batter was light and not greasy. Also got the soda bread which was good but a tad dry (almost like a scone more than bread). The Jameson marmalade that came with it was more of a dipping sauce than a spreadable marmalade but it was tasty. We got a side salad and the potato leek soup which was good. We shared the Guinness chicken for our entree and the kitchen kindly split the entree before bringing it to the table which we really appreciated. It was excellent. Ran out of room so no dessert. We'll be back if we are in the area again. Parking can be tough depending on timing.

I noticed AFTER we ordered that there was a cocktail special that night. Our waitress never mentioned any specials, so I tried to flag her down after I had already ordered a different one not on the list. I mentioned to the hostess what I needed, and I hung out waiting for our waitress at the front. After waiting at least 15 min for her to show up from the back, I was able to ask her to change my drink order. The food here is FABULOUS. We got the housemade Irish soda bread and it was amazing. Hubby got the shepherd's pie and it was delicious. I got the lamb chops over asparagus and mashed potatoes and it was FANTASTIC ! I don't know if our waitress was new or what, but our meals were delivered without silverware. We waited several minutes, then finally flagged down another waitress so that we could eat ! If it wasn't for the poor service, this place could easily be 5 stars due to the fabulous food. Thankfully we got out of there before the live music started, loud music is not our vibe. At the very end of the meal, somehow my original drink order made an appearance (that's what I was afraid of, that she didn't cancel the order). The folks at the table next to us ordered the exact same cocktail, so when the bar tried to give it to us, the waitress told them to give it to the table next to us instead. Geez, we were already paying for our meal at the time. Lol The manager did come out and the end of the meal to ask how things were. I did mention I thought our waitress might be new. I didn't get an answer as to if she was, but I posed it more as a statement than a question.

I literally said to myself as I drove around Somerville that I wish there was a wine or cocktail bar for...mature people like myself to chill at. So I looked up wine bars and boom - VintEdge was right down the street. I came in around 9pm, picked a comfy seat by the window, and ordered. Can you believe I had never had an espresso martini until that evening?? So my first was a pumpkin espresso martini. Well I may have had 2. And another drink. Ahem. The service was great, not fussy, and I wasn't rushed even as we approached last call. Visit 2: having heard about my great experience there alone, my cousin arranged to meet me there last week. Or so she thought. Through a series of mutual miscommunications, I was here at the crib waiting for her, while she was at the wine bar waiting for me. Once we figured that out, she got us some food to go and we ate here at home. Verdict: -excellent seating options - stools, couches, chairs -food is so so good. Tartare, truffle fries. Fig jam pizza -drinks include awesome bottles and seasonal takes on old favorites This could be my new spot.

The bi-level bar and lounge was dark, swanky, and seductive. It would make an excellent spot for dates or groups of friends, like mine. We started off sitting at the bar, as there were no large tables available upon our arrival. However, after about 15 minutes, the host approached to tell us that he could actually seat us. I picked up my glass, which was wet with condensation, and it slipped out of my hands. I was able to collect it with only a minor spill, but the host insisted that the bar staff make me a new cocktail in case the glass had chipped at all. It was a considerate gesture that I greatly appreciated. Plus, since I had already taken a few sips, I was thrilled to get those back in a new glass! In terms of my cocktail of choice, I had opted for the Hot Tijuana Tease, a fiery blend of mezcal, blanco tequila, chile poblano liqueur, and lime juice. So, it was essentially a spicy margarita, and it was excellent. There were clean, crisp notes of peppery heat balanced with layers of robust smoke. My only complaint about the lounge was that the bathrooms were beyond tiny. There were two unisex stalls in a very tight alcove that also included a cramped sink counter. It was awkward and uncomfortable to share that space with another patron. Aside from that, the Hide Rooftop was a beautiful place with a friendly staff and interesting drinks.
