If you’re looking for an exceptional dining experience, look no further than THE Mexican. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a warm, vibrant atmosphere that sets the tone for a truly memorable meal. The food is nothing short of spectacular — each dish is bursting with fresh, authentic flavors that transport you straight to Mexico. Whether you’re enjoying their perfectly tostadas and, or rich, savory enchiladas, every bite is a celebration of taste. The service is equally outstanding. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve, making the entire experience feel personal and special. They’re always ready with recommendations, and you can tell they take pride in ensuring every guest has a fantastic time. THE MEXICAN doesn’t just serve food; they serve an experience. It’s a place where you can enjoy high-quality, flavorful Mexican cuisine while being treated like family.

I loved this place! It is a special occasion kind of place with unique dishes and high-class dining. There is a dress code, so no jeans and reservations are recommended (maybe even required). If you only like traditional Mexican food this is not your place, but if you like a fun and fancy twist to Mexican you will love this place. They have fun cocktail options. We had a margarita with cucumber and spicy margarita. They brought us a special soup because it was our first time there. It was delightful. They provided unique chip strips and an assortment of unique sauces/salsas. We had some “hot shareable” appetizers, one was the crispy pork belly and the other was the barbacoa. These were great, but actually very similar so maybe we should have done some different ones. For my main course I had the Mexican Cobb Salad with salmon on top. It was literally the best salad I have ever had. A perfect blend of greens and avocado and bacon. The salmon was cooked medium and was slightly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with the best seasoning. The atmosphere is dark with dim lighting and trendy but with rich and classy elegance.

Came here for a work dinner with a coworker. The reservation process was seamless and a table was available immediately upon arrival. We were quickly greeted by our server Hannah who was professional, attentive, and hit all the steps of service and more you’d expect at an upscale establishment. We had a house margarita and añejo old fashioned which we both enjoyed. The appetizers and entrees all exceeded expectations. Pacing of the meal was a little fast in the beginning which I think our server noticed and attempted to correct but this led to our entrees being a bit delayed. However, she was very apologetic and the MOD even stopped by to apologize for the delay. Hannah had already set the stage so well that this minor inconvenience didn’t have a negative impact on the experience and the food was great upon arrival. Valet was quick on both arrival and departure and the restaurant was easily accessible. Definitely recommend!

The ambiance was modern wood panel vibe. We arrived early but due to several large parties ahead of us that were not ready to leave we had to wait but the staff was gracious to give us complimentary sparkling wine while we waited. They have a coat check which is wonderful during the winter when you have to check a coat. Our waiter Jorge was the best …and I should have stuck to ALL of his recommendations. Based on my like he had recommend the scallop and prawn and when I saw my friends I wish I had ordered them because the plate and the taste was amazing., my seabass selection was cooked a little more than I preferred to have ( I like my fish flaky …please see pictures) . Everyone enjoyed the cocktails and their food .

Visited with some friends this past weekend to celebrate a few birthdays. We arrived late but were still able to be seated when 75% of our party arrived. The chips and dip were yummy. The drinks were really good. The prawns were large and yummy. My husband enjoyed the enchiladas. The presentation was good and the food wasnt bad. I mistakenly ate one of the peppers on the plate and my mouth burned for 20 min. The server Lindsey was PHENOMENAL and made our experience a beautiful one. The bathroom had some beautiful mirror that you can't help to take a pic in. Unfortunately, the behavior of the manager, pacing around our table, staring, and whispering to the waitress was VERY uncomfortable even though we were still ordering drinks and desserts. For that reason alone I'd never go back. I understand it being busy but there were 4 other empty tables in our area. It would have been better for the manager to come speak with us and inform us that the table was needed versus pacing and staring.

Perfect for date night or just to hang out with friends. Definitely not for kids, no kids menu. Food was good, portion size was very small for the pricing. Reason for 4 stars. Drinks definitely worth the $$, one had me feeling great! Oh also be ready to be there 2 hours if you eat, service is pretty slow pace. DRESS to IMPRESS

We wanted to try The Mexican restaurant and finally got the chance! Our experience was not the best as we expected it to live to the hype of excellent food and drinks- unfortunately it was subpar and nothing spectacular. The only item that stood out was their dessert. What bothered us the most was the behavior of their manager- who told us to vacate our table as they had other reservations- when clearly they had enough open tables. Her attitude towards customers alone was a turn off- thankfully we only encountered her towards the end of our dinner. The atmosphere was great along with well dressed guests- other than that- this place will be just a one time visit.

Beautiful, upscale venue. Loved the presentation of my meal served on a hot lava rock. We had to ask the server more than once for various items, but we were also a large group, so I could see how she might’ve been easily distracted. Definitely a romantic dinner setting and great for a date night. Loved the salsa style flight selection for the chips. Variety and taste bud zing! Loved it!
