    The restaurant is beautiful and goes to great lengths to make sure you understand their dress code. They are quite clear about how long a meal will take and how they will deny entry to anyone who doesn’t adhere. Unfortunately they don’t enforce it. Lots of guests in athletic jerseys and t shirts. If you’re going to have rules, enforce them. Service was painfully slow. Food was good. Price point was too high for the serving sizes.

    Reservation set, seated quickly but waiter service was delayed. Continued to be delayed throughout the service and it didn’t seem like a packed house. Order for our main dishes came out incorrect but since the waiter never checked back in after the entrees, we decided to just deal with it. Mole Chilaquiles lacked flavor. I didn’t get the rich mold flavor I was expecting.

    This was our first time to visit The Mexican. Without a doubt, it was great, from start to finish. The Hamachi appetizer was amazing, the Prawns and Ahi Tuna to follow were nothing less, amazing. Drinks were great. Service could not be better. Jamie was spot on with his recommendations and besides that he was wonderful. Overall we absolutely enjoyed our experience! We will be back!

    It was wonderful, as always. But we had to ask for chips and salsa three times before we actually got them. They brought our appetizers, including guacamole, without chips. But other than that the food, service and setting was great.

    Unbelievably good. The appetizers (cold rib eye and lobster elote) were fabulous. We both had enchiladas for dinner— lobster and vegetarian. Sooo good. The sauces were rich in flavor. Terrific margaritas too! (El Rey— spicy, layered in flavor). Very professional service as you would expect in a fine restaurant. Can’t wait to return!

    The courtyard / patio was a social media influencer gathering of bright lights, fake guest experiences, and lavish disappointments! Guests should not be inflicted to this experience and the restaurant which has a vast amount of empty space should position the influencers in a specified area. The influencer appearance isn’t about anyone but themselves so why torture your guests with such nonsense. Two people, $300.00 dollars later we received poor service, bland food and staff catering to the destruction of the dining experience: influencers. If the social operation wants to fill the venue with influencers, great, let the rest of us sit far away from the concocted lavish dining experience. The best experience was the valet, why? Excited to arrive and more excited to leave much like getting off an airplane after a bad flight complete with bad food!
