The luxury of adulting is that all my friends work in different places, so we make it a point to meet once or twice a month. After the last place my friend chose, where we hated the food, we were definitely skeptical about him picking again. But this spot completely redeemed him. The food was amazing, the drinks were hitting, the music was a whole vibe, and the waitstaff was so professional. Catarina was an absolute gem, sweet, friendly, and made the experience even better 💕

With a $150 credit through our Chase Sapphire Reserve, we decided to give Meximodo a shot to end 2025 and let me tell ya, we weren’t disappointment. Before the food review, shout out to our waitress, she was great. My water was filled the entire time, she checked on us plenty of times, and was awesome. On to the food. We ordered guacamole and as an appetizer and it was HUGE. Big enough for 3-4 people. My only gripe would be that it may have needed more salt if I was nitpicking. My wife ordered a burger (not pictured) and it was awesome. Double pattys, bacon was crispy and the fries were delicious. My steak and cheese tacos hit the spot. The corn tortillas were great, and the steak had a ton of flavor. Overall really nice spot and really not that expensive. I look forward to going back and trying some of their margs next time which also looked really good at tables nearby.

I’m Mexican, and I wanted to share my honest take. The tacos were alright at best, but they were very filling because they didn’t hold back on the meat. We tried the al pastor and the quesabirria tacos, and both were decent and definitely filling, just not anything special for me. We also ordered the queso fundido, and that was really good. I would absolutely recommend it. The standout for me was the Mexi smashburger. Honestly, it’s the best burger I’ve ever had. 10/10. I’d come back again for sure, but I probably wouldn’t get the tacos next time. I’d stick with other items on the menu, especially the queso fundido and the smashburger, which I would definitely order again.

Whoahhh .. where do I start ? I must say I am extremely disappointed with this place , I really expected a better experience, so here is how it went : Made reservations because I didn't know how busy they would be since it was a Saturday night . However we usually like to sit at the bar when we go out . When we arrived we were greeted by the hostess and I must say she definitely needs training , not exactly the friendliest person . I explained that I'd like to sit at the bar , she said we still had to wait to be seated ( why ?) I never heard of a place that you need to be seated if you just going to stay at the bar . Once we were seated I asked the bartender Angie if she had a list / menu for tequila and agave since they are know to have the biggest variety, her answer to me was : what do you mean a menu ? So I had to explain and she actually went to ask someone else if there was a menu and then comes back and tells me to scan the QR code on the food menu . Once I chose my tequila she seemed to be a bit confused looking for it , asking other bartenders , so I showed her a picture of the bottle and her response was : yeah I know . ( didn't seem like it ) since she was asking others . So that wasn't a pleasant experience , BUT wait , it doesn't end there :( The menu : pretty much EVERYTHING on it is SPICY !!! I know it's a Mexican restaurant , however not everyone likes or can eat spicy food . Not to mention the menu is very poor and doesn't have a big variety . I asked for the steak and cheese tacos since it was the 1% option on the menu without a little hot pepper () , because I am allergic to spicy food . We also ordered the Baja Fish taco and a side of yucca fries . I had to repeat the order 3 times because Angie said the description on the menu is different from the description on her machine ( also with an attitude ). That makes no sense , the menu needs to be the same . The steak tacos and Baja taco's were served And there was no sign of the yucca fries , after 5 minutes I had to actually ask someone for it . The steak taco was so spicy I could only eat half of it ( remember , this was one of the few items on the menu without a little pepper next to it ) and yet was spicy . The fish on the fish taco and the yucca fries were definitely over fried , so not exactly very good . A gentleman named Marcos came to ask us if everything was ok and we explained our concerns to him with the poor information on the menu etc . He then said he was bringing us a shot of tequila which never happened . So much for customer service . They do have a huge variety of tequila that literally goes all the way up to the ceiling , however there's a ladder for bartenders to climb and it look extremely dangerous , specially if they will be going up and down while holding a bottle . The decor is absolutely stunning and definitely high end . However menu is basic and way too spicy . Hostess and bartender could definitely use a customer service class . Considering the fact my birthday is cinco de mayo I really wished this would become my favorite place , but I guess all I was left with was a wish . Sadly . VERY DISAPPOINTING :(

(2 adults, 1 teen & 3 month old) I took my husband there on a Thursday for his birthday, we had reservation, but had to wait a little. The place was amazing. We were seated up stairs, as you walk up the stairs you get an over view of downstairs the view was beautiful. Once we were seated at our table, our waiter came over he had such a positive energy, explained everything to us. Two waiters work up stairs and with the amount of tables and people, the waiters managed to bring everything out in a timely manner. For drinks we had Cocolada definitely recommend & a Mock tail Jamaica hibiscus, love it ! The food was incredible! I ordered the ribs. I’ve never had ribs like this before, they FELL OFF THE BONE! My husband had the hanger steak, he says the flavor was there but when he asked for medium it came out raw. My son had the cheese burger and says it was really good. I would also recommend street corn. Every Mexican place we go to I always order street corn and this by far was such a tasty dish ! One of my favorites. The only thing I would say, if you’re bringing food home check the bags, my delicious ribs were missing.
