    I love Meximodo! I think the price point is great for the food you get. Drinks are made very well. The pork belly and steak & cheese tacos are a staple in my group when we dine here. So is the guac and street style corn! The inside is so chic and honestly, just a VIBE! I love that I don't have to travel to NY to get that NY restaurant/night out feel. Don't think twice, make the reservation.

    *Unforgettable Night Out!* I recently had the pleasure of dining at Meximodo with my family, and I must say, it was an evening to remember! From the moment we walked in, we were enveloped in a warm and inviting ambiance that set the tone for a fantastic night. *Ambiance: 5/5* The restaurant's décor was stylish and sophisticated, with dim lighting, comfortable seating, and a lively atmosphere that made us feel like we were in for a treat. The background music was perfectly curated, adding to the overall ambiance without overpowering our conversation. *Cocktails: 5/5* We started the evening with a round of expertly crafted cocktails, each one more delicious than the last. The bartender was knowledgeable and happy to make recommendations, and we were impressed by the creativity and attention to detail that went into each drink. *Appetizers: 5/5* The appetizers were out of this world! We shared a few dishes, including the street style corn, which was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The portion sizes were generous, and we were all impressed by the quality and presentation of each dish. *Entrees: 5/5* The portion size was generous, and I loved the combination of flavors and textures. My family was equally impressed with their choices. *Dessert: 5/5* Dessert was a highlight of the evening, that was almost too beautiful to eat. Almost. We devoured it in seconds, and it was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. *Amazing Company: 5/5* But what really made the evening special was the company. We had a blast chatting, laughing, and enjoying each other's company. The restaurant's atmosphere and service only added to the experience, making it a truly unforgettable night out.

    Went for a birthday lunch, it was 6 of us. I had chilaquiles and they forgot my eggs, when I asked the server he brought me one egg yolk. Sweet potato side was forgotten, we reminded him and he never brought it to us. Sang happy bday with no cake slice just the streamer candles. Service was overall slow and not friendly.

    Always a great experience! Love the ambiance. It’s especially festive around the holidays. Attentive staff and excellent service. Food is plentiful and never disappoints. Artisanal cocktails are delicious! They do a great job celebrating birthdays. Wish the front vestibule was set up a little better to accommodate guests waiting to be seated but the hostess staff does a good job managing the up front experience. We love coming here and will always return.

    Meximodo definitely lived up to its reputation! The food was delicious. The service was excellent and the tequila was exquisite! I especially loved the way they do not allow people to crowd the bar. They have crowd control. This restaurant is a whole good vibe. Make a reservation and Give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.

    the food and vibe at meximodo was awesome. yummy drinks , the enchilada i had was great , and our waiter was really nice my issue was with my reservation. i made a reservation for 6, and wasn’t seated until 6:30. we had to wait in this tiny crammed room with a bunch of people. there was even someone who was waiting an hour for a table with a reservation. the food was truly great, and made up for it though. i will still be coming back. they just need to fix that!
