    I took my parents for the first time & everything was phenomenal. I would’ve given 5 stars however when we ordered the pulpo chicharones they were out, I ordered the niña fresa & they were also out, finally I ordered a bottle of wine & they were also out of the kind we wanted. Nevertheless we had a great time & ordered alternatives that were delicious.

    We have decided to make The Mexican our go-to for our Christmas celebration with one of our best friends from now on. We started at the bar for a cocktail before we were seated in the beautiful main dining room. Our server, Josa (sp?) was friendly, knowledgeable and fun. He pointed out the customer favorites for all parts of the menu. We started with ceviche and queso fundido for our starters, and we had the trio of enchiladas, the ribeye steak, and tacos for the main. We wanted to share everything and Josa did the honors of separating the starters and the mains onto three dishes. As we were finishing our first course, a tequila sommelier came to our table who gave us a mini course on the correct way to taste tequila. Free, interesting, and fun! We finished with the Quatro Leche cake for dessert which was delicious. All in all, one of the best dining experiences for me in the last three years. It’s not cheap, however. All in, dinner and cocktails were north of $700 for the three of us. But, we said we’d definitely do it again. Thanks all for a memorable evening!

    I have been to the Mexican several times and the service has always been top notch. Yesterday was not as good. Waters were not filled in a timely manner. Salsas were not presented and explained. Instead they were put on the table and nothing else. I had to wave the server several times to approach the table to take our order. I hope next time the service will be back to normal.

    I had yet another fantastic experience! The service and food both rated a perfect 10. The staff here are incredibly attentive and friendly. I brought my co-workers for an early Christmas dinner, and the service was outstanding.
