Wow we were so impressed with this restaurant. Amazing menue of items to choose from. We had the Fahitas and we must say there the best we ever had. A wonderful western atmosphere & fantastic service. We will be back! We've back 2 more times since the first review. It was just as good as the first. All the service is helpful & friendly. Ducy our last waitress was amazing. Dec 30th,2024 We placed a large fajita order to feed our service techs and office staff at Olstrom Custom Coach, who service Ms. Coach to keep us on the road safe. We wanted to provide them with a great meal, and Little Mexico Steakhouse didn't disappoint. Everyone enjoyed everything. TY

First time visit. Had the steak stuffed with pepper/cheese. Did not care for the flavor- off taste, like lighter fluid...just didn't care for it. The others in my party had various Mexican food items and, as always, little Mexico did not disappoint! Those items were great and the fruit chimichanga was delicious. Staff was good. Mixed drinks were good- large glasses! Steak prices were higher than expected - but inflation hits the restaurant biz hard, so understandable. Would definitely go back for drinks and Mexican dishes!

Super cool place one side is a family restaurant. The other side is a Raider bar. Food is excellent the Red Chili is on fire. 🔥 this place should get an extra star just for being a Raider bar.

Friday night dinner, included an excellent band called Xplosion. Waitress provided good service and the food was good.

The services don’t match the food. Food is delicious! Customers services on the other hand. I called in my lunch order for my staff, my boss and I today. The lady taking my order was very rude and had an attitude which my receptionist heard. I was not rude back and continued giving my order in the end I asked for a total and in the most rudest voice I got “I don’t have the total, I just wrote the order down” I just said ok and thank you. I told my receptionist “that’s a perfect example of how not to be on the phone to customers” Thank you for the unfriendly customer service Alyssa.

The atmosphere is very much a steakhouse atmosphere (smells like mesquite and is a bit dark), when you walk in, to the left is the restaurant and to the right is the bar. We were seated immediately (5pm on a Saturday), it was busy but not overly busy. The staff was nice and helpful, our waitress Dulce was so nice and attentive. I had the chicken fajitas with rice and beans, it was delicious. The rice and beans were SO good. I wish the tortilla was different for myself, it's one large thin tortilla that you have to tear pieces off of and it dries out pretty quickly when left open to the air, I'm more a fan of smaller multiple tortillas. My husband had the Queen ribeye with salad and baked potato and it was delicious as well. They make their ranch homemade (so good!). We preferred their creamy guacamole over their regular guac, the creamy has a much better flavor and it's spicier as everything is blended together. Our kids split an order of chicken tenders and fries and those were good as well. Definitely plan on going again!

Food is alright. They can accommodate large parties so it's our go to breakfast restaurant. Haven't tried the dinner items. Service is good. Food comes out quick.

Family friendly restaurant. Taste was average. Not so bad, not so good. Normal Mexican restaurant. Chips were also over average, but not so great. Price and volume were great. Really reasonable. Staffs seemed so busy, but they were friendly and comfortable to stay. Atmosphere was casual and lively. So there were a lot of big family and group. You would feel at ease even if you have small children.
