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.

    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.

    Good was good but the music felt like we’re in an 80s disco. The fire eater was different. Maybe it’s not for people over 40 going to dinner at 6:00 or 6:30.

    Started out waiting 15 minutes for our drinks to show up after ordering them. Marg and a beer. BYO Marg bar was nothing but candy. Not like the picture on the menu with fresh fruit and such. Food was typical Mexican, nothing special. Mentioned on the reservation that we were celebrating a birthday. Not even a happy birthday from the server. We didn't even get asked if we wanted dessert...Just brought the check when we said we would need to-go boxes. Maybe they don't have dessert since nothing was on the menus we had when we sat down. Service I might expect on a random Wednesday, but this was Saturday evening. Don't expect we will be back.

    My husband and I finally went to Mexicano restaurant today. It is now our favorite restaurant in Arizona. The food is exceptional. We were greeted by a cordial, manager at the restaurant. The waitress was very friendly and very attentive to our requests. If you haven’t been here, then you should definitely check this restaurant out. You will not be disappointed. Please thank the Chef for such amazing food.
