    I come to Mex 1 at least twice a month, and it’s always a great experience. The atmosphere is fun, the food is great, and the service is consistently good. Adam the bartender is awesome—friendly, attentive, and always makes us feel welcome!

    The food is good flavor wise. But the portions are small and the price is astronomical. We got a queso, two tacos, a burrito and one margarita and it was around $80. The tacos are tiny and the queso is also not very much for the price. It’s too bad because the flavor is good, but expect to spend $80+ for two people at a taco joint. Service was good.

    Positives first - the Hostess was very friendly and another employee came to my table when she noticed no one had ever come over to greet or take a drink order. The Mexicali burrito was very, very, good. Great flavor and the steak was tender cooked to perfection. The beans and rice were flavorful - great side. Everything else and unfortunately, negative - I waited a good few minutes to be greeted by the server, who delivered a glass of water to my table and then went back to talk to a male friend/customer at the bar. She came back 10 minutes later and I ordered a margarita. 10-15 minutes passed. The server saw me watching the bar, remembered she had a table, checked the bar where no drink was waiting - maybe it was never entered - and then came over to say "..the bar tender *rolls eyes*, it's going to be another minute." Professional. Five minutes later, delivered to the table. The margarita was overpriced at $15, artificial in taste and watery. I will happily pay $15 for a great margarita. The burrito was slow to come out (again - the place was not busy) small, and served at room temperature. I had to pay cash and the server returned with change that would not break out to a 20% tip. I over tipped for the poor service, bad marg, and cold meal just to avoid having to wait another minute for this person to come back with additional, proper change. I would do take out from here again knowing the food is very good, the expectation that it would be cold by the time it made it to my house, and to avoid the tipping for slow and poor customer service.
