Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Mexicano offers a vibrant dining experience with "fantastic food," "outstanding service," and a lively atmosphere. Guests rave about its unique build-your-own margarita bar and delectable dishes like the birria tacos. While the ambiance is "fun," some find it "too loud," but the friendly staff and flavorful menu make it a must-visit.

    Arrived at restaurant at 4:30. Took 45 minutes to order drinks, another 30 minutes to receive 4 out of 5. Dinner order taken at 5:45, did not arrive until 6:30. Many items incorrect. There is a management and service problem at this restaurant. Was given free desserts to make up for our problems. Would go back just for the food, but only if I had 2 hours + to eat dinner.

    If you want to walk right in and have a quiet meal here, Sunday night is the way to go. Reservations are unnecessary. Where on a Friday/ Saturday night it’s completely different, Sundays is a lil less crazy but enjoyable all the same.
