About Macayo's Mexican Food

Macayo's Mexican Food is a decent spot with good service, featuring an open-air design and TVs showing sports at the bar. The food has been described as just "ok" and lacking strong flavors, but the service stands out, especially for events. Recently, customers have mentioned an improvement in management, praising the friendly and attentive staff. While the restaurant can become overwhelmed during busy times, causing long waits for seating and service, many have noticed the servers, like Jayme and another with pink hair, provide exceptional care, making the experience feel more upscale.

Despite mixed reviews on the taste of dishes like the southwestern Caesar with chicken and shrimp tacos, some customers found the food quality not as good as they remembered. The chips and salsa were considered average, while desserts were disappointing, with a recommendation for chocolate mini-chimi’s that proved too sweet for some. The TVs at the bar, while visible, were criticized for their poor quality, impacting the enjoyment of sports games. Macayo's has been in business for a long time and maintains a loyal customer base, although some recent visitors feel it is not the same as it used to be. Customers have noted that the best items tend to be the appetizers.
