Delicious lunch portion of Chicken Fajitas.
Kurt F.

Mi Mexico has been in Clive for a looong time now. I hadn't been there in years, since there are much more convenient options for me where I live. My favorite dining companion though, had never been. We visited for lunch. My dining companion settled on the Camarones a la Diabla, and I went with the lunch portion of chicken fajitas. You of course also get the customary chips and salsa. We always ask for the spicier salsa. Typically this is a roasted Salsa Rojo at most Mexican restaurants. In the case of MI Mexico, it was a roasted Salsa Verde...and boy was it good! Normally Verdes are a bit milder in heat, but not this one. It had a delightful level of heat. We ended up buying a to go portion of it because it was just that good! Back to the entrees. The fajitas were great despite being the smaller lunch portion, it was still a pretty sizable plate of food. The flavor was good, the tortillas were hot and fresh. My favorite dining companion loved her shrimp dish, and took all the leftovers from both our entrees home. We also both got margaritas. I opted for the classic: lime margarita on the rocks. My dining companion opted for a blended peach margarita. Both were very good. I had to get a refill because it just went so well with the meal. Overall I was very happy with Mi Mexico, as was my dining companion. I will have to stop in again soon. I need to try their carnitas, which is another favorite Mexican dish of mine. Highly recommended overall.

The service was decent and the place was clean. Wonderful patio seating! But... the food. It seemed like really cheap quality and so, so basic. The price was a little high for the lack of quality, but not outrageous. A good place to sip drinks and munch on nachos on the patio, but don't expect too much from the food.

The service was amazing, waiters were helpful and managed a big group very well. The food was super fresh and brought to the table with the pans steaming hot. Even with many meat-based options, they had vegetarian options which accommodated for our large group. The restaurant itself was aesthetic with a homey atmosphere and a bustling crowd. Overall, would recommend for the waiters and the many options.

Run, don't walk to this delicious Mexican restaurant! I had the pollo poblano and it was so delicious. The mole sauce on this is one of the best things I have had the pleasure to consume. The margaritas are pretty delicious too. Definitely check this joint out if you're in the area looking for some amazing Mexican food.

House margarita tasted like chemicals and served in a warm glass. To go nachos were over cooked, queso was grainy and chips tasted of old oil. I picked off some cheese and sour cream and enjoyed the pico (the only tasty thing)--I would have been better off going to Chili's next door.

Food was excellent and very large portions. Good and friendly service. Highly recommend!

Best margaritas in the Des Moines metro area. We stopped in for an early Cinco De Mayo lunch with our kids. We are on the patio. The decorations were festive. We sat near a blooming tree with the breeze lightly moving the flowers and the ribbons on the patio. Mi Mexico did not disappoint. We were promptly served chips and salsa. I ordered a small thing of guacamole to supplement. Kids menu is perfectly priced and the selection is perfect size for easy decision making. Husband ordered two tacos and a tamale. Served with beans, rice and coleslaw. I ordered enchiladas ranchera and also served with beans, rice and coleslaw. Food was served promptly and hot. Waitress was attentive and checked on a perfect amount of time. She refilled drinks before we were out and had great timing of delivering the bill. As always a great experience. If you want great Mexican food and outstanding margaritas, Mi Mexico is the place to go!

I've been to Mi Mexico dozens of time. Their chips and salsa great. I love thin and salty chips. I would prefer a good hot sauce, but most folks in the Midwest aren't partial to heat. This past time I was there was with a wedding party, so we had about 30 people. They were organized and prepared and they managed the process well in a side room. In my opinion, the part would have been serve a lot better with two additional servers rather than one guys butt off and service being a bit slow. I have been other time with a friend and family and the services has been spot on. I enjoyed the fajitas - enough for three people! I'm not sure what they call the blue margarita, but it is definitely worth enjoying.
