    This is a great date spot (make sure the guys have the right attire on btw or they get a blazer jacket) or a place to just go with a few friends. The drinks were spot on, the enchiladas dishes were amazing, and our waiter was super attentive. I guess that's to be expected in a place like this, but either way it was a great experience. 100s across the board, with no notes. I would definitely return here.

    Such a nice place
    Music is at a good, volume to where you can have a conversation.
    Our bartender , Jorge , was very welcoming and his hospitality was on point !
    DRINKS WERE AMAZING!
    I got the “La Nińa fresa” (daddy’s girl) and
    My friend got the “Pepino perfecto” and wow ! It was so amazing ! They use real fruit !
    We had the chips and salsa !
    Everything 10/10 !
    Will be recommending people to come here
    And I will be back myself !

    Beautiful ambience, incredible flavors, priced on the higher side

    I recently dined at The Mexican and it was an overall standout experience. The ambience was beautiful, the vibes were great, and the service was truly top tier… from start to finish I felt well taken care of.

    I ordered the lobster enchiladas, and they were outstanding… stuffed generously with lobster and full of flavor. My lemon drop martini was amazing, and the sleek black martini glass added a classy touch that elevated the experience.

    But the real showstopper was dessert. I had the TARTA DE NUECES, and it was phenomenal… rich, decadent, and bursting with flavor. I’d honestly return just for that dessert (and the martini).

    My only gripe is the price point, it’s a bit on the expensive side. However, the food, service, and overall experience do reflect the upscale cost.

    Would I go back? Absolutely! Especially when I’m in the mood for a refined dining experience with great vibes and unforgettable dessert.

    I had dinner with a couple of friends at The Mexican and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The food was outstanding—flavorful, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. Our server was attentive and anticipated our needs without being intrusive.

    The desserts were the perfect finishing touch to an excellent meal. Overall, it was a wonderful evening with great food, great service, and great company.

    We headed to the Mexican for a romantic date night.
    We started with cocktails. They were delicious and beautully presented. The atmosphere was lively and inviting, but the dim lighting and candlelight created tge perfect environment for romance.
    They bring chips and an array of salsas to try. I particularly enjoyed the creamy green sauce.
    I ordered the American wagyu filet from the A La Roca menu. It was perfectly cooked and absolutely amazing. The presentation on the heated rock was impressive.
    My husband ordered ribeye. Although he enjoyed his meal, he tasted mine and had regrets. I knew he was waiting for me to put my hands up and surrender the rest of my plate (rock actually).
    We will definitely be back. But next time, I'm sure my husband will order the filet A La Roca.
