    Food was good. Service was very slow and it wasn’t particularly busy. Maybe understaffed? Either way, would still go back and try again. =)

    We had a wonderful meal at MeXo! I ordered the Carne Asada a la Tampiqueña 1939 and it was fabulous. The skirt steak had so much flavor and was cooked perfectly. My dinner partner ordered the Pollo Con Mole Poblano and loved it. If you are in the mood for a delicious meal on a cold winter night, eat at MeXo!

    I'm not a restaurant snob for sure, or one to complain for no reason. However, we made a reservation at MeXo after seeing it was named Restaurant of the Year and the brunch menu looked very good and unique. The service was terrible. The food was served cold, my wife waited to return it to the kitchen but our server didn't check on us. The rice was cold and not good. The drinks were good but served very slowly. We mentioned our disappointment in the food to our server and he replied he could get a manager. I didn't feel like dealing with it. The server brought us the bill with zero adjustment of any kind and no apology for our issues.

    First time visit, and was really impressed. Paying attention to the little things like the chips and tortillas being house made and fresh! The roasted corn dip appetizer was sweet and a solid choice! The carne asada was so very good, and my wife got Oscar’s baja tacos and they also were excellent! Such a nice experience that we bought our daughter and son in law a gift card on our way out! Definitely recommend, and will absolutely return!
