| - Been meaning to try this place out as it looks really bz at happy hour. My friend was taking me to phx and we decided to grab a quick early dinner on the way.
We were the first people seated as they opened at 5 as it was a Saturday. They serve lunch and happy hour during the week. They just did a nice renovation and I hear they added some windows and changed the seating in the dining room. It's a nice bright room I. The late afternoon and facing east is not at all hot.
Our server Logan was a nice guy. I got the impression that he was a relatively new server. Not because he wasn't great, because he was, it was that he still had that "I actually care and am listening to you, and I am into the food we serve here" phase of most newish floor staff life. Hopefully he is able to hang onto that and not drift into fake-nice-busy-robot that many servers end up. I doubt he will. Likely he will be a graphic designer or chiropractor or maybe rock star.
We had chips and salsa which was really good as both are made in house and are unique and flavorful without being too spicy or too salty, a path oft taken in salsas. Their salsa is neither red nor green but both together in that it pleased both the red and green salsa parts of my salsa palate. Bravo!
My pal had chicken enchiladas which looked great: smothered in white cheese with a nice sauce served with tasty fluffy seasoned rice and some great looking pinto beans which were served in a small bowl on the side: a nice touch that keeps the plate clean and pretty. He loved every bite!
I opted for fish tacos of the day which were talapia. Also very fresh and tasty served with cabbage, fresh lime, cilantro and avocado, and I had the same great rice but opted for the black beans which were perfect and topped lightly with Mexican cheese also on the side in a bowl Yum! I gobbled my food it was that good.
The beers we had were served with chilled glasses, another nice touch.
I couldn't help but notice that an older lady came in solo and sat next to our table. She was a little confused at the Spanish titles on the dishes but Logan very patiently explained everything to her and ended up deducing that what she really wanted was a beef taco salad, which isn't on the menu. However between Logan and the obviously expert chef, they produced a perfect crispy taco bowl filled with tasty salad with beef. I love it when establishments find a way to say yes and make something happen rather than just say sorry just what you see on the menu. When the place is slammed I could see that not happening, but kudos to Mejico staff for bringing customer service to that next level of awesome! She dug right in and was happily munching when we left.
They recently added a lovely patio and once the temp drops back to double digits, I don't doubt they will do a brisk business out there. They have amazing 3-6pm m-f happy hour specials with cheap drinks and tasty priced appies so check that out too.
I will definitely make this one of my go to places as it is quite near my place and I know my wife will love it as we like Mexican food and love having it at an actual restaurant. I will be back with her pronto!
Ps: When you leave go back out the driveway you came in on as the pass through on the east side is now the new patio.
