Sadly Made in Mexico did not live up to my expectations at all. My bf and I came in on a Monday night (normally they are not open on Mondays but they were for 2 weeks for the holidays). We were the only other people there, which is fine. Our waitress was very sweet, friendly and funny and she was definitely a highlight of my experience there. The menu looked amazing, great prices and I couldn't choose between all the tasty options available. The drink menu was also great. I decided to mix and match the tacos (carne asada, pork carnitas, shredded chicken, and rajas con crema) which came with 4 and 2 sides for $12.95 and my boyfriend got the enchilada lovers platter, which also came with 2 sides, for $13.95. We both got the refried beans and salad as sides.
Our food came pretty quickly, but I was immediately dissappointed with mine. The presentation was bland, the tacos were soggy, and had a tiny helping of meat in each, without taco sauce or cilantro like the menu said it would come with. The refried beans were, in my opinion, too chunky and dry but that's just my taste. Plus, the food was barely even warm. I would never have brought out food like that to paying customers. The tacos fell apart in my hand trying to eat it, and the meat turned out to be super bland and dry as well. I have to say I really did not enjoy my meal at all. My boyfriends food looked much better in terms of its presentation but I can't say how he felt about the taste. The redeeming part of our meal were the churros which were warm and delicious, with a sticky and sweet caramel sauce.
I will not be coming back to Made in Mexico. I really expected more considering how well known this place is. The only reason I can think of that our meal was such low quality is that we came near the end of kitchen closing, so we may have gotten the bottom of the barrel for the food and the kitchen staff may have half-assed it... either way, sadly not a great experience.
