Even though they're working in a small space, you won't feel like it because they don't rush you and everyone has been so patient to answer questions about dishes on the menu. This menu has the most unique tres leches cake slices because they have more than one flavor but they often sell out! :-) So get there early if you want to try their pistachio tres leches cake or their café (coffee) flavor, they're both very good! Their homemade drinks like their cold horchata and cold Jamaica are worth the trip too

My dad got the barbocoa burrito and I got the Mar y Tierra-skirt steak and shrimp wrapped in bacon. It's funny bc I ordered well done steak and it looked burnt but it wasn't! It was really tasty as was the shrimp. A little too much salt and they forgot my tortillas. The guacamole and salsa were really really good as were the chips.

We arrived around 4 pm and there was about a 25 minute wait. It is cozy so there were people waiting outside. The decor is more modern than traditional. They have a bar and TVs. Staff are warm and friendly and our server was Dulce. It was a busy day yet she would periodically check in to see how we were doing. We ordered the table side guacamole. It was made fresh at our table and hubby added a little more salt to it. We were also served a small bowl of salsa.The chips are warm and fresh. Hubby ordered the combo fajitas and a strawberry margarita. I ordered the steak enchiladas rojas and a pina colada. Everything was seasoned well and we enjoyed our meals.

Not the best we've had but they were pretty satisfactory for the time we went. The service was okay. Some waitresses seemed nice but the one we had didn't seem to smile as often when she came to us. One small thing was that we received the salsa but didn't receive chips until about 15/20 mins after we sat down even though she was immediately bringing out (table) chips/salsa for customers that came in after us. The vibe felt a bit off with that since it's a smaller place and there weren't many people dining so there wasn't many distractions.. but the overall experience was fine

They prepare a ton of fresh tamales daily from their menu but when they run out they update their board and they run out. My son wanted a different tamale we saw on the yelp site but upon arrival it was already sold out. We ordered the pollo verde tamale and the jalapeño tamales. They were both very fresh and tasty. I was impressed as I am very judgemental about tamales. The young. lady spoke upon walking in and explained all of the options as I had questions. She even separate the tamales so to know which ones without opening the package. The place also sit in eating and it appears very clean and lots of tables. The place was very busy for a Sunday. They serve you at the table and seemed everyone was happy with their food. Prices are reasonable and I will definitely go back.

I agree with the previous reviews that the food is just okay and overpriced.

The taco itself felt like it was just rushed and not put together with care. Very thick pieces of tomato and the tortilla was very soggy. The place itself looked very clean and colorful, perhaps I would try this place again but get something different then fish tacos. I think if your charging around $4.00 per taco then it should be something good or at least enjoyable. There's a of great places that make really good tacos and as of right now I do not think this is the place.

For drinks, my partner ordered the Mexican Coke and I ordered Joe's Peach tea. I was happy to find out Joe's tea is made with sugar not High Fructos Corn Syrup. I wanted to try a shrimp taco, fish taco, and enchilada, while my partner wanted to try the birria and al pastor. So, I ordered the combo which comes with 1 taco (shrimp), 1 enchilada (cheese, verde, suiza), and 1 quesadilla (beef) and he ordered the 3 taco (tilapia, al pastor, and birria) dinner. He ate my quesadilla and I ate his fish taco. He absolutely loved the birria taco. He said it was different and had more spice in the consume than at other places. He also over the beef quesadilla. Unfortunately, he didn't taste any pineapple on the Al pastor, so that was his least favorite. I loved the shrimp taco. It had 4 large, well seasoned shrimp and three slices of avocado along with chipotle mayo, slaw, and ai squeezed lime over the top. I will definitely get this again. The tilapia was blackened, but didn't have as much flavor as the shrimp. The enchilada was okay. I want to try their red sauce next time. We also ordered the churro bite which were delicious. They come with chocolate, cajeta, and vanilla sauces in the side, and the individual churros are coated in cinnamon sugar. They were fresh and hot. Our waitress was very helpful and on top of things. She had perfect timing as well. The interior is well lit and beautifully decorated for Christmas. And don't miss the coat/purse hangers on the side of the booths. When I first saw the name Meshico, I didn't know it was more historically accurate for the Nahuatl pronunciation of Mexihco. But I appreciate that this place is named this, because it made me look it up, and ai learned something.

This isn't just plant-based food -- it's thoughtful, balanced, and crafted with real love. I had the fish tacos (yes, vegan -- and absolutely convincing), the corn ribs, mushroom sandwich, truffle fries, mushroom quesadilla, horchata, and Jamaica. Not one miss. Every single item was a hit. The flavors are layered without being heavy. Comforting without being greasy. Satisfying without the crash. You leave feeling full but light -- the kind of meal where your mouth, your stomach, and your health all say "thank you." If you go, honestly? Do yourself a favor: order a sandwich and a drink. Sit with it. Taste it. Let it speak for itself. This is the kind of place we need not just to survive, but to thrive. You can feel the family behind it. The mom. The owner. The care. The pride. The love is truly in the food. Oak Lawn is lucky to have them. Go hungry. Leave grateful.

We dove in so quick, forgot to take a picture before we violated it! Coffee.... We both had lattes that were crafted w care, so wonderful. Apps.... Corn in cup: Nice big bowl of crispy corn with plenty of ingredients to complement it. Just so good, ya don't want it to end. Corn "Ribs": Yeah more corn, just one look and you're hooked before ya try them. The crema and Coco Salsa are a perfect addition to this delicious and beautiful dish. "Calamari": What? Huh? Coconut meat? Okay, I'll try it. What in the world is going on in this place?!! My mind is blown, what just happened?!! Crispy on the outside, so tender in the middle.The cocktail sauce was great too. I swing both ways, I mean my son calls me vegan fluid, lol. This makes makes me rethink real Calamari, this may actually be better. I'm Italian, those words don't come easy. Dinner.... Yeah, we were so full already, but had to keep pushing Pozole: Smokey red chili broth, I could sip on all day! Jackfruit was so tender and chickpeas were done right. They nailed it again. "Fish" Tacos: Yeah, more coconut meat. Had to give it another go in a different version. Nice big crispy and tender pieces, cold creamy coleslaw on top w chipotle mayo. The taco itself was also delicious. Flavorful rice and guac nicely complement this dish. It's a must have. Dessert, lol, just had to squeeze more food in..... Wife had a Chocolate Concha. Usually concha's come up short for me, but not at this place. I took a bite :) They just don't miss. It was delicious. It was finally time to waddle out of there. In closing..... The owner is always amazing and there all the time, super friendly. Actually remembered us and what we ordered last time! Food is always consistent, the quality is top notch, portions are big, food is beautifully presented and you can tell they care about it. Just look at all the photos on yelp, the meals are always presented the same. You can see what your gonna get and actually get it! You need to realize you're at a real special place, you are NOT going to get this food anywhere else. So treat yourself, splurge a little, you're not gonna regret it. Thank you Abuelita Coco for NOT making miss meat or dairy when I go there. So much love for this place, just wish it was closer to the city. Maybe someday, one can only wish.
