Lily's Mexican - Mar del plata

There is really nothing good to say about this place. You eat and drink on plastic and styrofoam, the decor is so bad it doesn't even look like a dive eatery in Mexico. Food was overpriced and bland. Margaritas were terrible no flavor whatsoever. So disappointed.

This place is run by such a nice family! It's hard to find properly good Mexican/Tex-Mex in this city, but Lily's is the absolute best in the state!

Came to the place because my wife saw it on some tiktok. It 's not a bad place, but being from So Cal and half Mexican, it 's a bit bland, but that 's to be expected when you go for Mexican food in the midwest.The hot sauce is not hot if you have a taste for spicy foods.I ordered the #15: 1 Tostada, 1 Taco (Hard shell), and 1 Sope with rice and beans.My wife ordered the #1 Carne Asada with rice beans that came with 3 tortillas.Overall, the food was edible. The tostada and the shell of the taco were freshly fired, always a plus, but the sope masa was really thin. Maybe some people just make them that way but not in my family.My wife said the Carne wasn 't juice enough (a bit dry) for her and was over peppered.We also ordered a side of guacamole, which was kind of bland as well but not bad. Lastly, I ordered a Jose Silver margarita (pictured), which was pretty good considering they used a margarita mix.All that being said, the service was amazing! The people are super friendly and accommodating. Even if the prices are a lil high for what they serve in my book.

What a great night! A time was had with my friend. This was my first time here and I will be back. So many things I’d love to try. It was absolutely delicious!!! 5 stars to you all! Seasoned perfectly. I had the chicken burrito bowl, which was one of the specials pictured at the register. I also have to say this is by far the best salsa that I have had ever. I ran it as my number one and everyone else will have to live up to it. I will definitely be back. I told the owner this as I walked away to leave. The service was unmatched. Very kind and friendly from start to finish of my visit. .

I 've been curious about this restaurant after seeing a great review on Tiktok, so I decided to give them a try. First, let me say, this is one of my affectionately referred to lil whole in the walls. This is not an insult by any means. I love finding a small or charming family owned business, coming out of the kitchen with a meal loaded with love and pride. That 's exactly what I got at Lily 's. My ABSOLUTE favorite thing about this restaurant was the 'Welcome ' feeling and the customer service. You feel more like you 're walking into your friends home, and his mom is cooking her a off in the kitchen (you 'll see her cooking when you eat there).They start you off like the typical Mexican restaurant does with nacho 's and salsa. Here 's what 's cool, though : they 've got a salsa bar with fresh, housemade salsa. You go right up and serve yourself. You can try different flavors. I thought that was really cool. Now I 'll be honest, it took a while to get our food. Be patient, because if you look in the kitchen, you 'll see each order is made fresh. Once our food was received, it was definitely worth waiting for. All of the staff were nice and friendly. They were even concerned and checked to see if we liked the food quite often. It was definitely delicious and good old-fashioned service with a smile. I will definitely be back. Give them a try, the food and prices are good.
