This place was so good! We went to Scheels and saw this restaurant on the way. Decided to try it because we had eaten at The Delicatessen by Chef Joey and that was really good so we figured The Mexicano had to be also. The staff was friendly. Eddie made sure we were comfortable and got us water. Cassidy was our waitress and she was awesome. The food was the best we’ve had from any Mexican restaurant. The sauce over our burrito was delicious. The pork empanadas were light and flaky and full of yumminess. The churros were the best we’ve ever had. Light and soft inside with a little crunch outside. The sauces were really good (chocolate, tres leches & caramel). Eddie came by a few times to make sure everything was ok. Cassie checked on us to make sure we didn’t need anything. A delightful experience. It wasn’t crowded, but we went after the lunch crowd. The interior is wheelchair friendly. We will be back. I want to try the tacos and the cookie dessert next. Update: Came back today 1/31/26 yo celebrate a friend’s birthday. Everything was great, especially the Sonoran Molcajete. We all got tacos and they were delicious. Our waitress, Maitland K, was amazing.
Monday lunch at happy hour was amazing! Juliet is the best server! We love it here and can’t wait to come back!!! The food was incredible - great vibes and the decor just makes you feel alive and colorful!!!!
First time visiting and the atmosphere was absolutely amazing! We had Erica as our server, and she was fantastic. She recommended the Ferris wheel of salsas, queso, and guacamole, and everything was delicious. We only stopped in for drinks and chips this time, so we didn’t get to try any of the entrées, but Erica took the time to explain the menu and gave us great recommendations. She also mentioned there’s a DJ on Fridays and Saturdays, which sounds like a lot of fun. My family and I will definitely be back—and we’ll be asking for Erica again. 10/10 experience!
If I could give The Mexican more than five stars, I would—because honestly, they’ve cracked the code on how to turn “going out to dinner” into “unexpectedly joining the best party of your life.” First off: make-your-own margaritas. Yes, you read that right. They hand you the tools of happiness and trust you to do the rest. It’s like being a kid again—only this time with tequila and better decision-making (mostly). The atmosphere is electric. Picture vibrant décor, a live DJ spinning beats that make even your fajitas sizzle, and—wait for it—dancing robots. Yes, actual robots grooving between tables like they just clocked out of a Daft Punk concert. The food? Unreal. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The fresh-made tortillas alone deserve their own fan club. Each bite feels like it was handcrafted with love and maybe a little bit of salsa magic. And let’s talk service—friendly, fast, and full of personality. You can tell the staff genuinely enjoy what they do (and who wouldn’t, with robots as co-workers?). Bottom line: The Mexican isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. Come hungry, come thirsty, and come ready to dance.
Came by recommendation and so glad. The whole restaurant is decorated beautifully. Lots of seating, we didn't have to wait for lunch. Loved the margaritas flight, delicious! Everything we ordered was very good for our picky eaters. Customer service was great from hosts and server.
