Manny was amazing! We came in for dinner on Thursday and he completely turned our experience around. My girlfriend and I had been here before and honestly the service wasn't great, but this time was totally different. Even though we were with a group, Manny made sure every single one of us was taken care of and happy. Super attentive, friendly, and on top of everything the whole night. He really made the experience for us--definitely coming back because of him! read more

Manny was our server and he was the best hands down! His recommendation was amazing, the atmosphere was great. Definitely coming back

If you're looking for a fun night out in the East Valley, The Mexicano definitely delivers on energy and atmosphere. This is not your traditional authentic Mexican restaurant, and it doesn't really try to be. It feels more like a lively Southwest/Tex-Mex fusion spot with a DJ, upbeat music, a social vibe, and a crowd that's there to have a good time. The food was genuinely enjoyable, flavorful, shareable, and perfect for a fun dinner night with friends or family. The margaritas were decent, though not necessarily the standout of the evening. Where this place really shined for us was the service. Eliana at the host stand was incredibly welcoming and set the tone right away, and Teresa provided excellent service throughout the meal. Friendly, attentive, and professional even with how busy and energetic the restaurant gets. If you want quiet and traditional, this may not be your spot. But if you want a loud, vibrant, trendy dinner experience with good food, good energy, and great service without feeling overly expensive, The Mexicano is absolutely worth visiting. read more

We came in for drinks and ordered nachos at the bar. Unfortunately, the service experience was really disappointing. The bartender was busy making drinks, which I completely understand, but the server who initially took our order never came back to check on us. Our nachos came out with the white cheese not even melted, and we spent the entire time without silverware or napkins. Our drinks were empty for quite a while, and no one checked in. At one point, the bartender/server admitted she had been in the back cleaning and said she would get someone to remove the nachos but no one ever came back. We had to leave so we can eat dinner somewhere else I get in your cut, you wanna go home and honestly we were forgotten about. If your cut and don't want us give us up. So we can pay for good food, and an experience. We just paid almost $40 for the worse food and horrible service. regardless of your section or cut, guests shouldn't feel abandoned. read more

The Mexicano in Chandler wasn't too busy for a Sunday afternoon, and we were seated right away on the outdoor patio. Despite the Arizona heat, they had mist sprays outside that kept the patio feeling nice and cool. The aesthetic of the restaurant is decorated with gorgeous florals and bright colors. Everything looked "picture worthy" from the moment you enter. The service was friendly as well. We were given complimentary chips and salsa for the table to start. We ordered "THE BEST F#*%ING BIRRIA ENCHILADAS" ($23) to share, along with a frozen margarita from the happy hour menu ($5) and a couple of Mexican candy shots. Everything was delicious overall, but my only critique is that the enchiladas could have been packed with a bit more meat. The frozen margarita tasted pretty strong, but I'm not complaining lol. The Mexican candy shots are always one of my favorite drinks to order at a bar if you enjoy tequila, watermelon, and spice. Thank you for serving us. Visited 5/3/26 read more

This is my second review on this restaurant. Once again, another five star experience! The restaurant was pretty busy and there were quite a few people waiting outside. We had a reservation and were seated within about five minutes. The main reason for writing this review was due to the fantastic service that we received from Heidi. She was super sweet, very efficient and gave a great suggestions. We decided to go with all of her suggestions. I wasn't super hungry so I decided to have a margarita for dinner! Heidi recommended the Mangonada. It was very good with a fresh mango taste. I loved the Tajin on the rim. To start Heidi recommended their house made traditional guacamole. Which is made fresh to order. I love the addition of the pomegranate seeds.They give it a bright refreshing flavor. Definitely a must try. For an entrée, my husband and I shared the ENCHILADA DIVORCIADA! It was fantastic! It came with three different enchiladas. The best f#*%ing birria,(yes that's what it's called on the menu),chicken tinga, mexican cheese blend accompanied by crema fresca, cilantro, pico de gallo, queso fresco. And the ambience at this restaurant is top notch not sure I've ever been in a restaurant that's quite like it. Please see my photos below. Heidi and the entire team at The Mexicano thank you once again for a fantastic experience. read more

Been checking out the Mexicano for a couple of months now and finally decided to stop in. It was happy hour time, so I took advantage of their $2.50 tacos. I am not a big margaritas fan, so I skipped their drinks and just went with water. I got three tacos and added a side of their beans. I got a chicken tinga, carne asada, and potato taco. Omg! All three were nothing short of amazing. Every bite, delicious, authentic, and super flavorful. I love that the potato taco came crispy and was topped with this amazing crema and cojita cheese crumbles!! #winning The service was also amazing and attentive as well with Steve checking on me regularly and keeping my water full. Minus one star for the beans that clearly came straight out of a can. No seasoning was added AT ALL. What saved it was their amazing salsa that came with the chips and salsa that they brought out before the meal. If it were not for that salsa nothing would have helped or saved these beans--please do better! Otherwise everything else was great! read more

Talk about a whole vibe. This place is absolutely stunning from the moment you walk in. The décor is vibrant, eye-catching, and beautifully curated--those statement chandeliers, lush floral walls, and pops of color everywhere make it feel upscale yet fun at the same time. It's giving modern Mexican with a touch of glam, and I was here for all of it. We stopped in for happy hour since we had dinner plans later, and honestly... this alone could've been the main event. We ordered the three-meat tacos (chicken, pork, and beef) along with the nachos and a cocktail--and everything was delicious. The flavors were bold, well-seasoned, and completely on point. Every bite hit. I also ordered a cocktail, and it did not disappoint--refreshing and perfectly made. And let me just say--the happy hour nachos are no joke. That portion could easily feed four to six people, which honestly had me wondering how massive the regular nachos must be. Service was friendly, attentive, and smooth from start to finish. The only small downside was that the meat on the tacos came out a little on the cool side instead of hot. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely noticeable. Overall though? This place delivers--on flavor, ambiance, and experience. Whether you're coming for drinks, happy hour, or a full meal, it's 100% worth it. read more

This place is funn! We got a Classico & frozen Mangonada margarita to start & they give you chips and salsa once you are seated. We ordered the Queso Birria Tacos and the Birria Vampiro style tacos and split them. They both had great flavors and came with rice and beans and a corn tamale cake. As we were finishing up the staff started handing out balloons to everyone in the restaurant and then this man came out dressed in a transformer costume on stilts and danced and made balloon animals for everyone. It was funny and interactive, they said on Friday and Saturday nights that's the entertainment. All of the staff is incredibly friendly as are the greeters and people who seat you. We'll definitely come back again! read more

So happy the Mexicano is in Chandler now! One of my favorite Mexican restaurants to go to. My first time here at this location and it did not disappoint! Location wise, it's perfect. Right beside the 101 and the mall. Very easy to get to. The inside is a vibe! From the design, decorations, all the way to the music, just sets the tone for an awesome visit. Stopped in for HH recently. Great menu and prices! Definitely recommend their margaritas. Taste so good and are a great size too! Food wise, the nachos are to die for. Holy cow! Cannot recommend The Mexicano enough. Absolutely need to come back to try more of the menu. The food is delicious and authentic. If you got friends or family in town, the Mexicano should be a place to show them. Noone will be disappointed. read more

We have been to The Mexicano a handful of times. And the food has always been decent. But I've never been super impressed. This time I had The Fuego combo. My favorite thing was the crunchy taco. The chilly Relleno was good but wasn't great. The enchiladas were decent too. The beans and rice are not my favorite and I feel like they both lack seasoning. They had music playing, which I don't mind. But it was much too loud. It was difficult for us to have a conversation. The service was pretty good though. I do like the decor in the restaurant. I think it's modern and cool. read more

We came here after seeing it had a 4.1 rating on Yelp, and honestly--I don't get it. This place deserves a full 5 stars. The food was phenomenal. We started with the Quesa Birria egg rolls, pork empanadas, and guacamole, and everything was incredible. We were already full from the appetizers before our main meal even came. We ended up sharing the chicken enchiladas, and they were just as amazing. The atmosphere is beautiful--we sat out on the patio and it made the whole experience even better. Service was top-notch, and even the manager came over to check on us and chat for a bit, which we really appreciated. Everything from start to finish was just that good. My husband and I will definitely be back! read more

We just went here for mother's day. There was a line to get in (i assume they gave everyone an 11am reservation time and that's when they open). They have an outdoor area with misters but we were glad to sit inside- way too hot outside. The service was friendly, the food was good- good portion sizes. The frozen margaritas were delicious and definitely not "weak". The atmosphere was like any regular restaurant- not too loud or especially "party" like. They gave moms free plastic margarita cups to take home. Had a nice time! One remark: they use lard in their refried beans and in their flour tortillas, so non-pork eaters beware! Would be great if they just did non-lard across the board. read more

Nice atmosphere on the patio and the service was good, which made for a pleasant start. The chips and salsa were tasty, and the mango margarita was a standout. Unfortunately, the food overall was just okay. The refried beans, rice, and corn cake portions were surprisingly small for a Mexican restaurant, and the carne asada was overly fatty, which was disappointing. read more

We came in during the end of the week sometime. They were pretty busy, but bar was open seating and we got really lucky and found two seats open, five minutes in. I was craving a molcajete, so I knew exactly what I wanted. The food was great, the price point was pretty accurate. I do wish that there was a bit more meat given as well as the sides, but we will live. The bartenders were fantastic, they looked like they actually enjoyed being at work. Great energy! The place is beautifully decorated, great fun atmosphere, even a live performer that night handing out balloons and jumping along with the music in a robotic looking outfit, and had a live DJ. We ended the night with a michelada and churros, both were good too! read more

I went to this restaurant earlier this week on a Tuesday, and I'm so glad my friend made a reservation ahead of time. There wasn't any note in reviews that I saw saying a reservation was needed, but the place was absolutely packed. It's a pretty large restaurant, so the wait might not have been too long, but I'd still highly recommend making a reservation before you go. I've seen a few reviews mention that the music is too loud, and while the music was definitely present, I didn't find it overwhelming at all. We could easily hear each other talk, and honestly, the music was great. It really transported you to Mexico: lively, upbeat, and full of energy! The décor is stunning, with vibrant colors and beautiful details everywhere. We came planning to have a full meal but ended up grabbing a beer and a few appetizers, plus dessert (of course). While there were a couple of small things that could technically make this a four-star experience, I truly think this place deserves five stars. From the food and service to the music and overall ambiance, the experience was fantastic. You almost feel out of place when you walk back outside since it's located in a mall plaza, it's such an immersive environment inside. The Tostilocos experience was a lot of fun (on their appetizers menu). Even though they weren't my favorite Tostilocos I've ever had, it was still really cool that they offer it. The churros were average but tasty; however, the sauces served with them were cold, which was a bit disappointing since they would've been much better warm. That said, the absolute star of the night was the green chile empanadas. I'm genuinely sad there were only three because they were to die for!! I could've easily eaten twelve. Overall, I definitely recommend this spot. It also seems like it would be a super cute place to host an event, especially using their patio. read more

I came here with some family for a nice lunch. The building is so cute inside, I loved all the decor. Me and my family were greeted and seated pretty quickly. The menu is a decent size with lots of stuff to choose from. They even have different guacamole options! There is also a fair amount of drinks to choose from. I personally ordered a margarita flight. The margaritas were pretty good. I don't remember all the flavors but I'm sure I had at least a mango, original, and strawberry. The drinks were a little bit on the stronger tasting side but I enjoyed them. For food, I ordered myself some enchiladas. They came with red and green sauce so I got to try both. The green sauce was a bit tastier to me but both were very enjoyable. My enchilada plate also came with sides which were very good too. However, it was a lot of food and I could not finish it. The bathrooms here are also kept very clean. Overall, I would definitely return here for drinks and food again. I can't wait to try something new! read more

I dined on their back patio for a late solo working lunch and the restaurant is BEAUTIFUL. When I say beautiful I mean above and beyond top tier beautiful! The inside was sleek, dim and contemporary. The outdoor bar and patio was huge and open and had stunning wall terraces w flowers on them everywhere. It had a definite garden vibe. The bar menu for happy hour was available and the amount of fabulous food for the price was amazing. I got chicken nachos for $9 w plenty left to take home to go too. Their margaritas were a good size and $5. I also highly recommend the distilled spring water-it was so good. My server was such a gentleman and so helpful w the menu items and on top of things frequently checking in on me. As was the front hostess who may also have been the manager I couldn't tell, but she stopped and talked w me a couple times and apparently they've just recently finished remodeling and have only been there for 6-7 months so she is hoping to spread the news to come check them out and here I am on Yelp doing just that! GO CHECK THEM OUT! You won't be sorry and I will definitely be back. read more

I have heard a lot of hype about this place so we decided to take some out of town guests for dinner. The inside is decorated so fun and lively. Lots of bright and interesting things to look at. We went for dinner at 4 PM and were seated right away. No need for a reservation at that time. We started with the Queso Fundido. I did not care for this. To me it tasted very artificial. The salsa, however, was quite tasty. It had the perfect combination of spice and heat. The chips they paired it with were quite disappointing. Not enough flavor or crunch. I had the "best f***ing burrito". It was a good size, but very bland which was disappointing. I was able to douse it with salsa which made it better. The rest of the table had the carne asada burrito, enchiladas, tacos and the Caesar salad with chicken. The overall consensus was that the dishes needed more flavor. Margaritas were good, but the flan was underwhelming and half the churros were left behind due to underwhelming taste. Warning: At 5 PM the music gets turned up to a ridiculous & obnoxious level. Overall, the vibe and decor is fun, but the food is lacking flavor which makes it meh for me. read more

Chuyito at The Mexicano Chandler is literally the best. From the second we sat down he was super friendly, helpful, and just had the best energy. You can tell he actually enjoys what he does -- he's personable, fun, and makes you feel like you're hanging out with a friend instead of just being served. He gave great recommendations and was on top of everything without being overbearing. The birria tacos were SO good -- crispy, flavorful, perfect. And the Mexican Candy shot?? Trust him and just order it. Overall just amazing vibes, amazing service, and he made the whole experience that much better. 10/10 ask for Chuyito if you go. It's super cute in there too, celebrated my birthday and had a blast. read more

First time here and friend had made a reservation for our small group (6 of us). We were seated out on the enclosed patio, which is nice. The music was very loud, which was a bit distracting but the overall decor was fun and festive. They have a pretty large menu with lots of choices and everything is a bit on the bouche side. Beautifully decorated dishes when served, for sure! Some in our group tried a couple of the cocktails...wife had the Mangonada and loved it. Found it well balanced and she loved the addition of the tajin. A couple of others also had the Saguaro Margarita and Margarita Rosa and both loved their drinks as well. They are served with flowers and just a beautiful presentation. Drinks were $14-$17 so a tad pricey. I ordered their signature 3' Machete Quesadilla, which was beyond words in terms of presentation. I asked for the birria to be added and it was the perfect addition. This thing is huge and obviously I shared it, eating about three pieces myself. It comes with three dipping sauces including a birria, which was tangy and just delicious. Wife had the Tour of Mexicano, which comes with a chicken enchilada, a cheese chili relleno, fried quesadilla, and a beef taco. Again, presentation was beautiful although she was "meh" on the flavors. She did like the relleno but found the other items just "ok". Didn't care for the rice and beans. I was really intrigued by the sweet corn cake mentioned several places on the menu so asked for a taste; got a side ($3) and I loved this! Reminds me of the dish they serve at a place in Tucson. I could make a meal of just this! We ordered the flan for dessert, which is interesting because it has roasted pineapple on top of it. It was good. Got to try the Polvorones Skillet, which is a reddish sugar cookie with fried ice cream on top. This was the bomb! Great service; lots of attention from the servers throughout our meal. Overall an ok experience but it was really expensive and we knew that going into the experience. read more

Once again, the food was great and the service, with Heidi, was so amazing. Her joy was so infectious.

Simone and Manny were AWESOME!!! Warm and friendly faces greeted us and Simone sat us right away during the dinner rush, granted we did have a reservation so i highly recommend booking on ope table ahead of time. Manny was very attentive to us and was surprised how fast the food came out. The tostilocos cart was such a fun experience. We ordered a bunch of appetizers to taste the menu and every single dish was warm and flavorful. The dancing robots were an excellent surprise as they came dancing by the tables. We really had so much fun. Will be back to try the rest of the menu! read more

I had a really awesome dinner here. The decor is beautiful and Mexican themed with lots of fun, pop-y colors. Parking is available, although the lot was pretty full when I arrived for my reservation on Friday evening at 5pm. Definitely recommend reservations. We had a large group of 11, so they sat us outside. There were misters and shades which helped make it a little cooler. Our server was wonderful, very attentive, fun and friendly, especially with such a large group! I immediately ordered the build your own margarita in the souvenir piñata cup, this was such a fun experience. There were lots of sour, fruity candies to top off your drink. For food, I ordered the foot long quesadilla with chicken. It was yummy, and definitely enough for two meals! There were dancers that came out periodically too for some entertainment. An awesome night. Can't wait to come back! read more

The Mexicano is amazing. I am happy they have a location at the east end of the valley. I was a regular at their PV location. The restaurant and bar are perfectly laid out and decorated. The decor is bright and vibrant. They have a great menu and their Happy Hour menu doesn't disappoint. We decided to sit at the bar. Our two bartenders were awesome and very attentive. The birria tacos are amazing with your delicious salsa. The happy hour margaritas are flavorful and refreshing. My daughter enjoyed the fish tacos are tremendous. One thing I truly miss is their guacamole with pomegranate seeds, they took it off their menu awhile ago. I think it needs to be brought back. read more

Beautiful new restaurant in Chandler! It was exciting seeing them make their tortillas. It smells delicious! There is some confusion at the hostess station. I waited for a while before someone seated me. The decor is Mexican chic with all the neon. Complimentary chips and salsa. They have a Michelin star taco made with prime rib eye. Chips are served hot and the salsa is flavorful, not too spicy with layers. For those who say YES to mocktails, they have a few nice looking options. The Michelin star ribeye taco was pretty good. Tasty! Baja chicken taco was okay. The queso Birria was on the salty side. Ride and beans are standard. read more

As a big fan of Chef Joey's other restaurants (Hash Kitchen, The Italiano, The Sicilian Butcher), I was super excited to check out the Chandler location of The Mexicano -- and let me just say, it did not disappoint! My boyfriend and I grabbed seats at the outdoor bar specifically for their all-day happy hour, which was already a win in my book. As someone who works later hours, I rarely get to enjoy traditional happy hour deals, so I really appreciated this setup. The vibes are immaculate -- vibrant, energetic, and culture-rich! A live DJ effortlessly bounced between club hits and mariachi/folk music to complement traditional dance performances. I was so happy to see Afro Latina performers represented -- we love cultural inclusivity and representation! There were also robot dancers, and yes... light-up tubes were passed out so we could get in on the fun. Such a great experience all around. I skipped the build-your-own margarita bar and went with the Classico frozen margarita (blanco tequila + triple sec + agave + lime) Fuego Style which meant it came in an adorable 32oz souvenir Piñata cup. So cute I almost didn't want to drink it... almost Here's what we ordered: * Bar Nachos - cheesy, spicy, crunchy, and layered with flavor. I love a good nacho and these did not disappoint honey! 10/10. * Shrimp Ceviche - I have an avocado allergy so I didn't try it, but my boyfriend absolutely demolished the plate so I think that speaks for itself. * Pastor Chicken Wings - I wasn't sure what to expect but they were saucy, fall-off-the-bone tender, and so flavorful! * Strawberry Tres Leches Cake - Light, moist, and perfectly sweet. Simple but beautiful. I highly recommend making a reservation if you are looking to sit in the dining room here or definitely be prepared for a wait. Since this location is still new, it has a lot of novelty right now and was packed even for us, but due to there being available seats at the bar, we had no issues. Our server was great and attentive, and I definitely made sure to reflect that appreciation in her tip! Chef Joey, keep absolutely rocking the culinary scene and I'll keep showing up every time! Highly recommend for a fun night out, happy hour date, or just good eats with a lively atmosphere. read more

This spot was ok, which to be honest I had a feeling how the food would be. The presentation is beautiful when it comes to the restaurant inside and their food. The vibe here was fun and it was pretty cool to see some people dressed as transformer looking things dancing to the music the DJ was playing. The Paloma I ordered was great and the chips and salsa. But the food here is just not that great. I ordered the taste of mexico , or Mexico sampler ... the fried taco was just too thick for me, I was expecting your typical crunchy fried corn tortilla taco. The chile relleno was not hot enough that the cheese was like a tofu texture. The enchilada would have been a lot better if melted cheese was added inside ... my bf ordered the chile relleno burrito with asada ... it looked great but he was not a fan of how crispy the tortilla was. The sauces on our meals were good though. read more

Very cute restaurant! When we walked in, there was a big crowd of different groups of people waiting to be seated or get their name on the waitlist and the hostess seemed very flustered. Once we got her attention and got on the list, we only had to wait a few minutes but there were tons of open tables so that was a little weird. The service was a little slow once we were seated as well but both the hostess and waitress were very nice. The food was pretty good. I really liked the tacos. I didn't care for the rice or the salsa that came with the chips. The prices were reasonable. I think if you want to go for the fun drinks, it's worth it.

Very nice graduation dinner at the Mexicano with our family of eight. Was happy to find they had a children's menu, but no crayons to go with the handout. Our waiter was attentive and the kitchen was quick to deliver. We began with chips and a wonderfully flavorful salsa. We added quac, which was a nice addition. Was happy to discover they had coronarita's, which obviously I had to order. Delish! Not feeling very hungry, I ordered the Birria Ramen which was meaty and flavorful. We ate on the patio, which was very nice, but the taped music is so loud, it is difficult to hear everyone at a large table. Everyone enjoyed their dinners and cocktails. read more

I wish I could leave three and a half stars because I'm torn. I'd been to the PV location for lunch and enjoyed the low-key vibe. This time I brought the family on a Saturday night: loud music playing so we couldn't really hear each other and at one point two giant robots came out to dance-lol. That's not our family's vibe but I can definitely see the draw for a lot of people and the restaurant does a great job in setting a festive scene. Service was also glacially slow. We waited a long time for everything. I definitely recommend making a reservation if you want to come here - we heard it was a two hour wait without one. We tried a lot of different dishes: birria bao buns, a variety of tacos, and the one foot quesadilla. While we all enjoyed our food for the most part, prices are high and portions are small for the price point. I ordered one chicken tinga taco ($8) and it was compact. We also indulged in the churro cart for dessert. It comes with six churros and three dipping sauces: chocolate, tres leches and caramel. Very cute presentation and the churros tasted good but they would have been much better if they'd been warm. But overall we were satisfied with our dishes. If you want a party atmosphere come at night or on the weekends. I believe it's calmer at lunchtime, or I think I read the patio is more of a respite. They have misters outside to cool you down. read more

I first tried this place about a month after it opened. I was excited because I really love Sicilian Butcher down the street and Chef Joey knows how to run a restaurant! I had some fish tacos and enjoyed them, but felt like the sides of beans and rice were far too small to complement the main entree. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the food and the chips and salsa that the bartender brought out were excellent. Flash forward another month or two and my wife and I finished wine tasting at Cooper's Hawk on a Saturday afternoon and wanted some food to line our tummies. I suggested we head over to The Mexicano, not knowing what was in store (cue the dramatic music!). The Mexicano offers happy hour deals in their bar area every day from 11AM-6PM. We ordered some Modelo drafts and some $6 Flautas and enjoyed the hell out of them, plus the house chips and salsa. And we were hooked. We kept returning after that initial HH trip to try other options. The Nachos with Birria were delicious. The Shrimp Ceviche was too! I noticed that the HH bar menu mentioned all you can eat Taco Tuesday. I had to make a mental note. This was too important! I brought my cousin, who was in town visiting, plus a longtime friend. Then I brought my wife. Then I came by myself a few times. The tacos are D-Licious! I prefer the pork and beef tacos, but the chicken ones are very tasty too. Plus the fantastic chips and house salsa. The corn tortillas are the best I have ever had. Taco Tuesday's at the Mexicano should be a right of passage. They're a revelation! The staff, including the bartenders are top notch. The restaurant is beautiful inside and out. Check Joey has done it again! Make the rice and bean portions bigger and it's a five star experience. *Tip* Their build your own margarita bar is outrageous. Worth a try just for the spectacle. read more
