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.

    The food and service were outstanding. The noise level was more suitable for a dance club or a rave. The ambience was far from pleasant or soothing. I'd love to go back, but I'm not sure I could without earplugs. I would have given five stars if not for the excessively loud music.

    Excellent food and service was awesome. We went to celebrate my husband’s birthday and had a wonderful time. The Sonoran molcajete was delicious.

    We like the pop better than the original. The music still tends to be slightly too loud to hear conversation but much better than the original location. There was a great fire dancer and the fajitas were great.

    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.
