    The sauces
    Sally L.

    We were here on a Saturday evening. It was empty when we came in. It is not a big place but it has a few tables for dine in.The washroom was clean. We ordered Taco salad with lengua, sonora dog, and tonto burrito. We also ordered two drinks horchata and agua de Jamaica. The food didn't take too long to be ready. The drinks were huge! The horchata was real good not too sweet like some other places. My taco salad with the beef tongue was really good except it was a little oily. The burrito that my boyfriend got was huge for the size. It could be two meals for me. The staff was nice and friendly. When we were done, she told me that they usually don't put the lengua on the taco salad. Since I ordered it, they just made it for me. I would come back again if we are in the area. Overall the price is pretty good and portion is pretty big.

    The Tonto Burrito was awesome, the size of a premature infant and had a tattoo. Don't fill up on chips! #rookiemove

    With the multiple, large Mexican restaurants nearby, I think this spot is a sleeper that deserves more recognition. The service was friendly and fast and the food was the real deal. It's a small spot. So I'd advise going in off hours if you're dining in. Thank you for making my holiday visit with my dad a little bit cooler.

    "Elote"

    Me and my girlfriend come here at least once a week for elote (it's been a pregnancy craving no judgment) however we went in last the service was absolutely terrible. It was a Sunday afternoon and they weren't busy, so that's not even an excuse. But we went in ordered an elote, and then left. Upon opening the lid we realized there was no cheese in it.... So we turned around. When we let them know hey look there wasn't any cheese on it could you add it. But here's where the real shocker is, they tried to convince us there was in fact cheese on it to begin with (idk what happened to the customer is always right) But this isn't even where the problem lies. Once they added cheese we opened it up again it and it was like they dumped a whole cup in there. I was so shocked because it went from just lacking one ingredient to being barely edible. So I went back in and was like we were just in here, to which they needed me to convince them of when we came in (ALL THE WHILE ITS THE SAME PERSON TAKING CARE OF US) and then once I refreshed their memory again tried to convince me it was on there to begin with. IT WAS NOT. So I was like please remake this it's barely edible. They make another one with no spice, but you know what at this point we are both over it, so she eats it anyways. But the real icing on the cake is that this was the bottom looked like... like thank you for making the most watery under spiced have to beg to be cheesy elote! We will not be returning.

    Had the jaliscience birria, California burrito and steak taco plate. Jaliscience burrito was good but the meat was lacking flavor. California was delicious but steak was on the salty side. Steak tacos were good but just like the steak on the California is was on the salty side too. Staff was super friendly and nice.

    Nachos Supreme & Lemonade.

    I ordered online and got there a little earlier than the expected time. But they made my food right away. Which was super nice of them. I was debating to go back to work and eat there, but they were playing some good music so I decided to stay and eat there. The food was so good and fresh. The steak was nicely seasoned. The nacho cheese was good too differently, not the generic kind. And the limonada tasted it was made from fresh limes! Also, the salsas tasted so good, too, especially the creamy lime one! Differently coming back here to get my nacho fix!

    Was pretty good, this was the definition of Midwest Mexican food, it was ok but the price you pay makes it very not worth it.

Así que, ¿estás cobrando $27 por chips rancios y una soda? Adios huevona There is a reason why this place has only two stars. We're new in town and I would absolutely never order from them again.. it was bad enough that the meals I ordered via Uber eats dropped off and I only ended up with a final order of guacamole and a soda for $27, the chips were stale.

I didn't even take pictures because the presentation was quite basic. The carne Asada was not seasoned well and the chicken had us a bit perplexed as to how it was prepared. It was helpful, adding the salsa, but I can't say I would return here if I was in town. the service was was just OK at one point our waitress left and never came back. The ambience was very casual with plenty of seating in the restaurant for big and small groups. I'm always glad to try new places and it was good to try Mexican food in another state to give some perspective.

    It gets the job done - the Burrito had some excitment, but the rest of the experience left…read moresomething to be desired. I'd ordered a Steak Diablo Burrito and a Margarita. Chips and salsa were complimentary at the start of the meal. Before you come after me for looking a gift horse in the mouth: Chips & Salsa aren't technically free, the cost is baked into the meal on the back-end. That said, the quality of these was subpar. The chips were straight out of a bag, the the salsa resembled a thick tomato juice with stuff added more than something deserving the name "salsa." I also did not love the Margarita, for it was too sweet for my taste. I can't say for sure, but I have the unfounded suspicion that these are pre-made in large quantities. The main event was the Steak Diablo Burrito. True to form, the Diablo sauce brought the heat. If you are one for whom Tabasco sauce is at the upper end of your limits, you might want to skip this one. My heat tolerance is such that I needed a little extra water, not a side-order of sour cream. The filling did not skimp on the meat whatsoever, and the protein was tender to boot. While not 'S' tier, I would put it solidly in 'B' territory, with a pinky toe into 'A'. A good test is that I couldn't finish, and happily devoured it cold the next day. The interior is large, and has mostly amber lighting with splashes of color, and some traditional-looking architectural elements. The service was friendly and reasonably fast. Final verdict: If you're itching for a great burrito, while perhaps not the greatest one in the world, La Mex can deliver. However, This comes at a cost of a too-sweet Margarita and chips and salsa leave something to be desired. Recommended? Yes, as a general-purpose Mexican spot. Would Return? Yes, but would skip chips, salsa, and margs.

    Love that this place is close to home and the food is authentic enough. It has been able to stay…read moretrue to its roots, that it has a great mix of patrons. From workers to celebrating families. They just got a new menu and prices of course have gone up but that's understandable. What I'm taking issue with is that the owners need to embrace that this place is a "mom" restaurant that's got a homey feel. They added another screen advertising drinks, etc that are too big and obtrusive for behind the counter. Bring the tone down. Instead of spending money on electric signs, spend your decorating dollars on making the place cozy so pictures in Yelp look more inviting. We had birria burrito and carne asada with a large guacamole and horchata. Everything was great as always. Normally we get their margaritas which are also very good.

Long story short, our order was repeated back correctly, yet we still ended up with a missing salsa and an incorrectly made burrito. Mistakes happen. Every restaurant gets an order wrong from time to time. The problem wasn't the mistake. It was how such a small issue was handled. Their reaction honestly took me aback. We weren't asking for a free meal or trying to take advantage of the situation. We simply called to ask for a credit for the missing salsa, which was about $2. That should have been the end of the conversation. While I was on the phone, we opened the rest of the order and realized the burrito had also been made incorrectly. Instead of listening, the employee repeatedly insisted it had been made correctly without even seeing it. Then another employee got on the phone and, in a very aggressive tone, told us that if we wanted a refund, we had one hour to bring the food back or we wouldn't receive anything. We didn't want a full refund. We simply wanted the missing salsa and for the burrito to be made correctly. A sincere apology, a $2 credit, and an offer to remake the burrito would have completely changed the experience. Instead, a minor issue was escalated into an unnecessary confrontation. I even spoke to the staff in Spanish, so this wasn't a language barrier or a misunderstanding. The issue was the attitude and the complete lack of professionalism in handling a simple customer service situation. Wanting to understand whether this was just one employee or reflected the culture of the business, I called another location and asked if I could speak with a manager or owner. I was told they don't give out names because they receive death threats. Whether that's true or not, that's an incredibly strange thing to tell a customer. It naturally makes you wonder how previous customer complaints have been handled if that's the response employees are instructed to give. As a fellow Latin American, I genuinely want to support Latino-owned businesses. That's why this experience was so disappointing. Success isn't just about serving great food or opening multiple locations. It's also about treating customers with respect, accepting feedback, and knowing how to resolve small problems without becoming defensive. More than anything, I was embarrassed for them. This entire situation could have been resolved in two minutes. Instead, they chose confrontation over customer service. The food is good, but it isn't good enough to make me overlook how we were treated. Customer service matters just as much as the food, and unfortunately, that's where this restaurant fell short.
