Why oh why have I never been here before? It has the best vibe and food to match. Super good chips, salsa and guacamole to start, especially at happy hour prices. I had the enchilada with short ribs and it was amazing. And the beans and rice aren't just for decoration. The vegetarian dish, Alambres, was huge, tasty and so well presented. And the icing on the cake was the non-alcoholic beer on tap!!

Came by for happy hour and loved it! Can’t go wrong with chips and salsa but wish I was hungry enough to try the other foods. I liked the mangonanda!

Cafe Mexico is an absolute gem! My dining experience here was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the stage for what would become one of the best meals we've ever had. The Chicken Tinga Burrito was a flavorful explosion; the slow-cooked chicken had the perfect balance of spices and was complemented beautifully by the fresh ingredients wrapped in a soft tortilla. The Chile Relleno Chicken was equally impressive, with its perfectly roasted peppers stuffed with savory chicken and topped with a rich, tangy sauce. The Enchiladas de Pollo were a standout, offering tender chicken wrapped in corn tortillas and bathed in a delectable red sauce. Each bite was a testament to authentic Mexican cooking. The Pollo Asado was grilled to perfection, juicy and full of smoky flavor, paired wonderfully with its side accompaniments. Street Corn was a delightful surprise – charred to perfection and seasoned just right, it was a perfect balance of sweet and spicy. And no Mexican meal would be complete without Chips, Guacamole, and Salsa. The chips were crispy, the guacamole creamy and fresh, and the salsa had just the right amount of kick. To top it all off, we indulged in their amazing Churros for dessert. They were crispy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside, dusted with cinnamon sugar and served with a side of rich chocolate sauce – an absolute must-try! Cafe Mexico not only serves incredible food but also provides exceptional service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure our dining experience was perfect from start to finish. If you're looking for an authentic Mexican culinary adventure, look no further than Cafe Mexico. Highly recommended!

This was my first visit to Cafe Mexico. The location and space itself are absolutely amazing and lots of fun. The bar is gorgeous, looking, and looks very well stocked. The menu is a very nice size, and the food that we did order was excellent and well portioned. Everything tasted very good and was also very well seasoned. Wait, staff was very helpful and attentive. We really didn't have to wait for anything... also the restaurant was very clean. Amazing, and thank you.

Great atmosphere, and the place was packed. Our drinks were well done and reasonably priced. The service was solid and kept us with everything we needed to have a good time. The food was delicious, and there is something for everyone on the menu. It's a really fun place to be on a Saturday night.

This place was very cool! We had a great time and received great service from our server, Isabella. We ordered the chips, salsa and guacamole which were very fresh. I ordered the chicken enchiladas which were very flavorful. My husband ordered the steak quesadilla and really enjoyed it, it was a very good size. As drinks we had the Mango Margarita which was frozen and extremely good and the original margarita which was also very good (a little on the sour side). I recommend this place if you’re in town and want fresh and good quality Mexican food and great service.
