Comforting, flavorful Mexican food that actually feels freshly made and cared for. The portions are generous, the prices are fair for what you get, and the overall vibe makes it easy to relax and linger over a meal.
The menu is huge, but what stands out is how consistently well-seasoned and balanced everything tastes, from the classic burritos and chimichangas to the more authenticy plates with rice and beans. The complimentary warm chips with salsa are a small detail that sets the tone right away, and mains like the carnitas bowls, shrimp enchiladas with salsa verde, and baked chimichangas all come out with generous portions that feel like real value.
One thing I really appreciate is how easy it is to eat the way you want here, whether that’s heavier comfort food or something lighter. There are bowls, salads, brown or yellow rice, quinoa substitutions, and even vegetarian/vegan-friendly options, so it works well whether you’re in 'treat yourself' mode or trying to stay a bit healthier without giving up flavor.
The space itself is casual and cozy, with enough seating for both quick bites and relaxed dinners, and it never feels stressful to dine in. Staff are friendly and efficient, and orders come out on time and exactly as requested.
Overall, Mexico Grill feels like a reliable local favorite type of place: good food, big portions, warm service, and a menu that can handle almost any mood or preference.It’s the kind of spot where you can just show up, not overthink it, and walk out full and happy. With a good doggie bag you will look forward to having the next day too.
A nice little mexican spot, hope they keep good business going. Service and prices were reasonable. Plate was large and food was good. Alittle light on clients for a friday night. Definitely worth checking out though!
Great place for lunch! Food is always delicious and the service is great.
Love the chips and salsa (it’s warm and has a touch of heat to it.)
We got the baked chimichanga, as well as carnitas soft tacos. Both are delish!
Highly recommend, you can be in and out pretty quickly (or not). I also order ahead and pick up if Im pressed for time.
Absolutely delicious. I’m vegetarian and there was a special section just for that food. I was very impressed. My server was very helpful, friendly , and all over it was a great place. I’ll definitely be back.
So-so Mexican spot. The service and overall vibes of the restaurant is very good. They serve complimentary chips and salsa when you sit down.
Unfortunately, the food itself is lackluster. Ordered the steak Fajita and the meat was dry & tough. From a $26 dish , I was expecting better. The rice was good at least.
