Review Mexico Restaurant - Honolulu

I've been looking for a good Mexican restaurant and that just so happens to be the name of the restaurant I dropped into the other night and had some old school Mexican food, the south of the border dishes authentic prepared in no time at all. It didn't take long for me to decide - Enchiladas my favorite, but it's been years since I experienced that original robust flavor, accompanied with frijoles and Spanish rice. This Mexican restaurant is located on school street near The Rainbow Restaurant. Inside , authentic Mexican decor, I give it a thumbs up to an culinary joyful experience.

The burritos, and queso skillet were excellent, and the margarita was good. The service was fine (after I asked someone if they could take our order after we were seated and waited 25 minutes). Of course having to ask was embarrassing and was the main reason for the low review. The food was good, so I will go back and hope that the service is better.

$70 total for two people. The restaurant was very busy! Despite this, the service was still friendly and fast. Unfortunately, the server misheard me and I received shredded beef instead of my desired shredded chicken. It was still good, but I prefer to eat chicken. The free salsa was a bit weird. Kinda like spicy ketchup. Everything else we ordered was hot and tasty. Something that surprised me was the rice and beans. Very flavorful. Definitely the star of the plate. The enchiladas are VERY cheesy, lactose intolerants beware! Overall, we had a lovely meal and we would be happy to return.

I definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for good Mexican food in Honolulu, however the salsa is extra and it was not worth it. The enchiladas were delicious and well proportioned. Don’t get the horchata 🌝

Amazing food! Amazing service! Really cool decorations! Definitely recommend

Great Mexican restaurant. Be prepared to spend $30 per person minimum but it is worth it. The salsa has a mesquite smoked flavor that is phenomenal.

This Mexico eatery servers very authentic Mexican food and the staffs are also friendly! The portion is good and a free basket of Taco , great Salsa source. Highly recommended the combo plate! Just one thing to note that this restaurant is located right across from a famous Hawaii food restaurant, few parking lots

Food is ACTUALLY delicious. And I say "actually" because a lot of Mexican places are not authentic in their flavors. This was delicious. We had the Chile Verde and the pork was so tender it was melt in your mouth. Also had the garlic shrimp camarones plate with a side of veggies. The shrimp are huge and extremely juicy. They are literally sitting on fresh garlic. Even the salsa is bursting with flavor. Delicious all around. Highly recommend.

The staff are wonderful and every dish is very delicious and highly recommended. Horchata had the best concentration and taste.

One of the Best Mexican Restaurants on Oahu! I take my guests who come from Cali to Oahu to Mexico!! Lol

The Food here is great. It is one of the few good Mexican restaurants on Oahu. It is fair compared to what you would get everywhere in the Southwest United States, but it's an A+ for the island. The service and the atmosphere are a bit lacking. It is in a fairly seedy area of town. The kind of place you wouldn't leave valuables in the car. There is free parking but the small lot is often full so you have to drive a block or so to find street parking. It's in a parking desert. There are no public spots anywhere close. It's reasonably priced.

I like the place. Though, the salsa chip has changed. I don't know why they are putting ketchup on it. The flavor is noticeable 👎 Also, if you go on Tuesday, the margarita that they offer at $ 5 is the traditional one. Be aware that the flyer doesn't clarify that. If you order something different, you will get charged $10 more.

Excellent margaritas and the food is delicious. Sit at the bar if you can! Eatting shrimp ceviche I feel like I am robbing the place!

Service was excellent 5 stars. My 4 star review was just based on the good service alone. Visited Mexico Restaurant for dinner. They have their own parking lot but if you can't find parking , you can also park on school street during dinnertime hours. The decor outside and inside is cute and "Mexican" themed. As soon as we sat down, the server brought chips and salsa. I had been recommended this place by 2 different friends/parties so went in with high expectations. I wasn't very impressed with the food taste. The chips and salsa (although complimentary) we're not that tasty - chips were not super crispy, salsa was kind of bland. The menu is extensive, lots of options to choose from. My friend ordered fajitas plate and I had a veggie wrap plate. Both portions were generous. However I was not impressed with the food taste. The blandness or lack of flavor was kind of astonishing . I probably will not be back as I prefer more flavors /flavorful Mexican food. But again, the service was excellent and for that alone my rating stands at 4 stars .

If you're looking for a good Mexican restaurant this is it! Delicious food, quality and fresh ingredients, fantastic service and huge portions...just look at the pics. I think that the ground beef was the game changer here. Seasoned to perfection that paired well with everything. Keep it up guys....

Homemade chips and salsa served free for dine in customers. Crab Chimichanga and shrimp and fish burrito was huge with all the sides included. It was delicious with a lychee margarita. We had Deep fried French vanilla cinnamon icecream hit the spot. Service was the best. Lots of art displays to look at. We enjoyed our meal and stay. We're coming again.

Great alternative When my wife and I couldn't decide on what to eat and alot of the vegan alternatives were closed or about to close we opted for Mexican. It was our first time there. There is parking and we were able to get seated and order quickly. Service was fast and our server didn't miss a beat. Food price to portion is a great deal. Food was delicious and ambience was authentic. I really liked the food, we received our appetizers and entree's in order and quickly. Even though there was quite a lot of people our server and waitress didn't miss a beat,
