Small, very small and tucked into a tiny strip mall. Get the food to-go and enjoy it at home. It is always tasty and fresh. Parking is a problem, even in the additional area behind the buildings.
Try the Shrimp Cocktail in tomato sauce, it's a little spicy and very good.

Not the same as before still good food but a bit downhill
This place is chef's kiss. Staff is A+. Food is A++. Wait time for takeout is usually <15 mins. I LOVE Great Mex. <3

I have been eating at this restaurant on and off for the last 10 years. I say on and off because when I have an unpleasant experience, I take a break from them until I forget how bad they are. Last night my wife and I ordered 2 meals for pick up and when we got home realized they only gave us one, they said they only charged us for one. That was annoying but (somewhat) understandable. But when we opened our meal, the lettuce was slimy and rotten and so was their cilantro in their to go containers. The wife and I were surprised we didn’t get sick. The first clue should have been that the place was completely empty at 6pm on a Sunday night. This was the LAST time we are ordering from there. Not sure what else they serve that has gone bad but doesn’t seem like they care about it at all. The girl answering the phone sounded like she wanted to slit her wrists and I felt, I knew what kind of service we would receive. I understand why their other location shut down. I’d give any other restaurant a try before stepping into this one.

Really sad size of the California burrito. $13 dollars for a little bite size burrito and no salsa with poor distribution one side was meat one side was French fries.
The food makes this place. Authentic and fresh
The corner it's on leaves a little bit to be desired getting in and out of the place but it is worth it.

DONT EAT OUT HERE! I’ve came to GreatMex grill multiple times I’ve tried almost everything on the menu and I have came to a conclusion that I honestly do not like or recommend this place AT ALL. The meat is all flavorless, Tamales were flavorless with too much bread, the enchiladas tasted bland like everything else. I got food poisoning from the fajitas. Every time I have gotten their GM slam the bacon is burnt. Even when I asked them to re make it, they still burnt it to a crisp. I really don’t recommend GreatMex. If you are craving Mexican food I recommend you going down the street to Cancun juice and get some REAL Mexican food!

Great food. I'll be back!!!
Legitimately great tacos, burritos and more. Excellent salsa bar, and taco Fridays get you a plate of tacos and a cheap beer. Parking can be tough, but street parking next to the lot is an option.
I liked this place so much that I went 2 days in a row. The staff is super smiley and helpful and the food is delicious!
Friendly. Relaxed atmosphere. Very good breakfast (chicken & waffles and breakfast burrito).
