    he entrance to mitchell's mex
    Missi R.

    I had been waiting months for Mitchell's Mex to open, and after my first visit today I can say that it definitely exceeded my expectations. The building is unique, both inside and out. The menu is unique, and it is only the soft opening menu. The extremely friendly explained that the real menu will be twice as big. I ordered a Grilled Frito Burrito with queso and dang sauce, and a side of queso and chips. The burrito was huge, and stuffed with tasty ingredients. Queso was smooth and just a little spicy, and the texture was just right- not too thin or too thick. Every item on the menu can be prepared vegetarian or vegan. The interior was very attractive, with bright colors and interesting decor. There were several tvs with sports on some and cartoons on the other. Large floor-to-ceiling windows provided natural light. The employees were all extremely friendly and helpful. How refreshing to find employees who truly care about their customers and ensure that they provide a good experience. The restaurant was very busy at 3 pm, so I am guessing it is packed at lunch and dinner time. There will be a drive thru but it doesn't appear to be open yet. Planning to return soon. It will take some time to work my way through even the temporary "soft open " menu.

    Interesting exterior design includes cacti!

    I've never posted a third update but this most recent visit demands this one star upgrade. Finally I have found a menu item to get excited about. The Queso Frito Crunch Salad. Shredded lettuce topped with diced tomatoes, corn, black beans, queso, and Chili Fritos. I choose the house made avocado ranch dressing that is creamy and flavorful. I ordered mine with chicken and it was somewhat lost in the salad. There should have been more for the price. Besides that misstep the salad is delicious and left me wanting more.

    Mugs burrito - A burrito wrapped in a light-colored tortilla is positioned on aluminum foil within a metal tray. The tray is lined with paper decorated with illustrations of food items and the Mitchell's Mex logo. The setting appears to be a casual dining or takeout environment, with part of a table and some background items visible.

    Initial reaction - do not love the menu/the design/the options/the fonts. It's messy and and we'll organized. We ordered kids meals, nachos, one burrito, guac and drinks. And it was pretty expensive. The burrito was small but had good flavors. The guac was good but also very small. Kids meals are a good deal and kids enjoyed it. The wraps looked pretty good. I'm interested in trying that next time. I would have recommended them to include chips and salsa with all their meals.

    Bowl with sauces on side. Dang sauce is a must! - A food tray from Mitchell's Mex in Lafayette, IN, features several small containers of sauces, a foil-wrapped item, and a large salad with corn, black beans, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese. The tray is lined with branded paper, and black plastic utensils are placed on the side. The background shows part of a table and a person's arm, indicating a casual dining setting.

    I'm a big fan of Mitchell's. It's not cheap, but the food is always fresh and good quality. Check out the menu before you go, as it can be very overwhelming. Ate inside today and it was very clean, cute, and they even checked on us. Overall, give this place a shot. Expect good Tex Mex with an Indiana flair.

    Medium salsa - A black plastic container is filled with medium salsa that has a thick, chunky consistency. The salsa contains visible ingredients such as corn, herbs, and small vegetable pieces, with a reddish-brown color and a slightly oily surface.

    The Grilled Frito burrito is HUGE. I ordered a medium salsa and chips. Went through the drive thru, it's open now and set up kind of like chick fil a drive thru. Checked my order and they charged me for a queso instead of salsa. And gave me queso. I let them know at the window that I ordered salsa, not queso. And they gave me a refund for the queso. The manager Josh gave me free ice cream for the inconvenience and they gave me the salsa I ordered. Food was great. Couldn't finish it all. But my favorite thing was the customer service. Can't wait to keep coming back.

    Quesadilla - A quesadilla with melted cheese inside, cut into three triangular pieces, wrapped in crinkled aluminum foil. A hand with a manicured fingernail is holding one piece. The foil is shiny and reflective, and the background is neutral and out of focus.

    Absolutely not. My first visit and they mess up my order. I was given chicken instead of cheese for my quesadilla, and chicken instead of beef for my burrito. Went back to get the order fixed. Upon receiving my order for the 2nd time, they did not give me the sour cream that's supposed to come with my quesadilla. The chips I got were stale as well. The beef had way too much seasoning in my opinion. Saying they can replace anything to make it gluten free is a bit of a stretch. I ordered a gluten free burrito which turned into 3 corn tortilla tacos. My gluten free quesadilla was 3 tiny corn tortilla quesadillas (which that was ok.) The only thing that tasted good was the queso, but my stomach hurt very quickly after eating. The only reason I'm giving a second star is because the manager was kind and understanding with my husband when he did the food swap. If I try this place again, I hope they do much better.

    The image shows a partially eaten burrito wrapped in aluminum foil, resting on a plate. The burrito contains visible ingredients such as meat and vegetables. A quesadilla with a browned, crispy surface is also on the plate nearby. The setting appears to be a casual dining environment, possibly at a Mexican or Tex-Mex restaurant.

    Huge let down. Food was barely warm had no flavor. I'm from Texas and this is not Tex Mex. We shared a quesadilla and I had a chicken burrito while my wife had the quesso burrito and she said it was decent. That's the only reason it's not a 1 out of 5.

    Two quesadillas with browned, crispy surfaces are positioned on branded paper featuring illustrations of sombreros, skulls, and food items, inside a vehicle. The paper displays the name 'Mitchell's Mex' and related graphics, indicating Mexican cuisine. The image captures part of the vehicle's interior, including a steering wheel and dashboard area.

    I had a wrap and it was good but the inside was cold. It's supposed to be a hot wrap.

    The dips were all 20/10. Loved them all! My favorites were the queso, salsa, and guac. All of them…read morewere delicious though. I then got the pollo too taco and the carnita taco. Both were good but I wish there was a little less meat so that I could get a mix of toppings and meat in each bite. The taco is so filling that they make a mess every time you take a bite. The atmosphere is cute as it is basically just a house inside. Loved it.

    We have gone to the salty cowboy a lot over the years but we stopped by on Friday night and we were…read morea bit disappointed. We ordered the house margaritas which were fine but nothing great. Apparently chips and salsa are no longer free. I had the short rib taco which was full of meat and quite tasty. The pickled onions on it though weren't really very pickled. They were okay but not great. I also had the mahi mahi taco and it was great and I loved the pineapple salsa.I opted for grilled shrimp but you could get them fried if you want. The big disappointment was the pollo con arroz that my husband ordered. It was luke warm. The waitress said no problem and she could get him a new dish quickly. She came back with that she claimed was a whole new dish in less than 5 minutes! I am sorry you can't make a whole new dish in 5 minutes. The rice was steaming hot. The chicken looked like chunks of boiled white chicken that had a cold crema under them so chicken was not hot. Not a lot of flavor. Very disappointing. Service was excellent.
