Mejico Restaurant

This was my first visit to Mejico. I visited with family on a Monday evening.

The place was full. The music was too loud for my liking, but that could be just my age / generation.

The service was prompt and courteous.

We had several dishes – I would say it was a mixed bag.

The banana chips and guacamole were good.
The 3 salsas (tres salsa) was below par for me.
The corn chips were too hard for me.
The charred corn cob was good.
Jalapeno poppers: some were nice some too hot (not restaurant’s fault though).
The watermelon side dish was the best item of the evening! So nice and refreshing.

Great Food and Cocktails.
Had the Pre-theatre set menu which was really nice.
Recommend the Jalapeno Margaritas as well.
Only reason for 4 stars is the setting doesn’t feel very Mexican.

RATING: 3.5

A very bustling Mexican restaurant located near Wynyard Station. Despite having a reservation, the place seemed open to walk-ins. Opted for the $75 set menu, but the overall experience was mixed. While most dishes were okay, none really left us in awe ; however, the empanadas were a highlight with a warm, flaky crust and melt-in-your-mouth pork. An overall decent experience, would recommend if you’re coming for drinks rather than food.

Wanted to go to Mejico for ages and finally went for lunch today with some girlfriends, we had one of the set menus and the food was delicious, the corn ribs are amazing and the guacamole is made in front of you, it was so good! Great margaritas and our waitress was friendly and very accommodating. Unfortunately our wagyu skirt tacos were tough and fatty, but overall we had a fabulous lunch and would highly recommend, thank you!

Fun atmosphere and tasty food. I loved the table-smashed guacamole with plantain chips, Pork and Oaxaca Empanadas (I would have loved for the exterior to be more crispy but the sauce was incredible), Agave & Arbol Chicken Taco (the best tacos we had at Mejico), and Churros (extra hot and fresh, with a crispy outside and a soft and eggy inside).

The tacos are incredibly filling, which is excellent as they don’t cheap out on portions. My only critique is that it’s hard to taste the lobster taco with the excessively deep-fried breadcrumb exterior. I wish there were milk chocolate options to accompany the churros.
