Best Authentic Restaurants in Lakewood / White Rock Lake

Best night EVER celebrating 🩷Valentine’s at The Mexican👏🏻👏🏻 Here were a few of my favorite things about this place:) This atmosphere was BUMPING!! 🥳 Fun, energetic and very well managed! Waitstaff all very kind and helpful, they appeared to really enjoy being here!! Aisha was our AMAZING waitress. Very attentive, absolutely beautiful and treated us like we were family! The shrimp and steak fajitas were so delicious, and the margaritas were OMG next level!! And last but so important to me-bathrooms were very clean! I’d give The Mexican 💯 See you again, soon!

First time dining there. It was a bit crowded and almost overcrowded, but that was to be expected given the day. Ambiance was sexy and the live music was a nice added bonus although by the time I was sat the live music was over. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the ambiance of the environment. The food was amazing and wish I had left room for dessert but, after the appetizers and drinks I was almost done before I started. The place was really nice but could tell the staff and guests both were a bit taken a back at how large the crowd was even later into the evening. My server Erin was amazing. Attentive, personable, and just a pleasure to have her as a server. Erin made sure I was well taken care of and that I had a memorable experience. I can tell she is passionate about her station and even told me she wanted me to come back when it was less busy to gain a better idea of what the service and experience overall is really like and I appreciated that. Erin was great and I truly appreciate her taking care of every need and question that came her way. I would definitely go back and highly recommend if you haven’t been to try it out.

Entire experience was amazing. Every course was great. We will become regular customers here. The best part of the night was our waiter TJ. He provided great service and was clearly passionate about his job and the food.

Celebrating a birthday at this restaurant was an unforgettable experience. The server went above and beyond to make the birthday guest feel special, adding a touch of magic to the evening. The delicious food, coupled with the festive atmosphere, made for a perfect birthday celebration.

We’d heard from a few friends how great MHB is, finally tried it last night. We were blown away by the food and drinks! The rice cake appetizer was savory and interesting with the contrast from the lettuce. Octopus app had some of the most tender octopus we’ve experienced, the prep also gave it a wonderful flavor. For entrees we had the short rib- super tasty, tender, and the potato crusted halibut. The lemongrass sauce with the halibut was so good we were contemplating licking the serving dish! My wife proclaimed her lemon drop the best she’d ever had except for when she makes them herself, and my martini with Roku Gin was great. We’ll be back!
