MeXo - Grand Rapids

Mexo never disappoints! Chef Oscar and Cathy are fabulous!!

I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. I thought the concept was great. And I do think the food is a cut above your average Mexican restaurant. I thought the menu was varied and had some interesting dishes that you, again, won’t find at the average restaurant. I’m basing my opinion on having a very limited sampling of the food. The chips and salsa duo was very good and one of them was very hot, which I loved. The guacamole was tasty but, for $12, was not a good value. Four of us shared it and we barely got a tablespoon each. The watermelon salad was delicious but difficult to serve when sharing it. I understand the presentation, but maybe better to cut the watermelon into cubes. The snapper was presented with a real flourish-under a dome of smoke! But the fish was overcooked. The salsa that covered it was delicious. I tasted my husband’s cochinita pibil which was also very good. The service was a bit off, and it felt like they didn’t quite know what they were doing. But everyone was friendly. Overall, I do like this place and will return for a taste of other dishes.

Definitely wouldn’t bring kids who aren’t Terribly adventurous. Kids menu was for little kids and regular menu didn’t have many offerings for older kids.

This is the best restaurant in town. The food was delicious with layers of flavors. Drinks were well prepared. It’s a place you must experience.

Overall the service was good. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and attentive. Surely subjective but the medium camarrones disabla was extremely hot Great dish but but should have ordered mild. Perhaps some advice on that when I asked would have been helpful
