Fantastic gluten free menu items that are safely prepared and delicious highlight Mexo’s menu for us. Ambience and service are excellent. Food quality is top notch. We ordered multiple appetizers to share and soup and had plenty of food. We would highly recommend Mexo!!

We like Mexo a couple times a year because of its imaginative and well prepared food. Unfortunately, this visit did not meet the usual standard of excellence we have learned to expect. We enjoyed the mole bites for starters. The guacamole was excellent, although the price on the very small serving (somewhat hidden by the vast amount of arugula) is excessive. The Carne astada was excellent. We asked for our shrimp to be 'mild plus'. recognizing that this is an ambiguous measurement, what we got was plus plus plus...seriously over seasoned. Have all of that said, the restaurant appeared to be seriously under-staffed. Our server was moving around the whole time, but we felt neglected. We didn't get a chance to re-order drink refills until we were nearly done, which meant the second round did not arrive until we were DONE eating.,, Everything took more time thabn it should have. The restaurant was full when we left (we were part of the first seating) dond an evening they would have know it would be full...valentines and all,

Everything was amazing. We had a reservation for 7:30 PM on Valentine’s Day for 4 of us and although the restaurant never quite seemed full, we felt they were understaffed. Drinks took quite a while to be delivered and we could see our server had tables all over the restaurant. Overall, great experience and will return.
