I just wanted to let you guys know the person at the bar don’t know his name but he is a older guy. First his attitude is out of control. Why do you guys have someone doesn’t want to help anyone with the drinks. He gets mad so easy no bUENo and sido want even know how to make the drinks. I don’t might paying whatever my drink cost but be nice when it come to help me out

Some of the best Mexican food we've had! Loved the Chile Rellano (which I only like at certain places.) cheese enchilada was delicious and the best guacamole we've had in a restaurant. Sooo good!! Owner is very attentive. Second generation restaurant. You won't regret checking this place out. If I lived here I'd be a regular.

This was my first time ordering from The Mexican Village and I was pleasantly satisfied with my meal. I was craving some fish tacos and the Fish tacos meal was exactly was I wanted, the tacos were tasty, the fish was nicely grilled and seasoned, and I love the pickled cabbage and sauce that came on it. It came with Mexican rice and refried beans and chips and salsa which isn't too spicy and tasted like it was made in house. I ordered via Uber Eats and my food was also neatly packaged in separate containers in came in large stapled paper bag. The food was delicious and reasonably priced, I

Found this place after another place only had outside dining and I have to say I'm glad I did. Not only was the service great by Adilmer but the food was bomb! I ordered enchiladas combination and my husband had the appetizer platter and no complaints at all. The asada was perfect which is really hard to find I'm so glad I found this place not familiar with the area visiting from 5 hours away and super happy with this place I'll for sure come back when visiting the area.

We came to this establishment to celebrate a friends Birthday .
It's fuera favorite spot and now I know why.
Service- attentive and friendly servers . They kept our drinks coming and checked in on our party to ensure we were okay or if we needed anything else . I never had to flag them down and it was busy .
Food and drinks- the food was delicious not only was it nice and hot which means they didn't let it sit there getting cold. The food was perfectly done and every bite was delicious . Drinks were potent and amazingly extremely consistent which is hard to find with mix drinks

I really wanted to support this place, wanted to like the food. For starters, they messed up the food by not reading the order. WORSE.... when we bit into the chicken that was in both the tostadas and the order of quesadillas, it was like RUBBER. Just gross. We took multiple bites, hoping it was just a couple pieces. NOPE. They don't know how to cook/prepare chicken. And that's so elementary that we have NO INTENTION of taking any chances trying them again.

Average. I'm a huge chops / salsa fan, and their chips and "red" salsa were just o.k. / so so. However, the habenero type salsa was VERY delicious. Taco was o.k., although........hate to say it, meat was luke warm to cold. Chili relleno was pretty good, the cheese, excellent. Beans were very good with the right texture and flavor, as was the rice. Quac was o.k., but...... a little pricey at $8.00 for a small 6 -8 oz serving. Nice vibe to the restaurant and staff was very friendly. I'll be back to sample more menu items.

So desperate for Mexican food last night we decided to order from this place. The only real reason I docked a star was because the food lacked a bit of flavor. I ordered the nachos with pulled chicken and my bf got the green chili enchiladas. I love anything nachos related. Any place that has nachos I will order that over anything else. What can I say I'm a nacho fiend. With that being said I have some standards for nachos. The pulled chicken was cooked in a tomato sauce that didn't have much flavor. Also, there was not much any cheese or beans :( it really broke my heart because that

I had lunch with a coworker overall the meal was cool. The service was suspect. The reason was the omission of a side item on the dish. They were out of plantains and instead of announcing it the server presented the plate and didn't say anything until questioned about the missing item. He offered salsa which comes with chips...it was a main item in a Cuban dish and no major rush to make the dish complete. What sucks is the server didnt allow my coworker to decide if they wanted the dish or make a different selection...
