M Grill is your typical Brazilian bbq joint. It's certainly top notch but if you're looking for something more local, Texas de Brazil in Irvine is comparable in my opinionTHAT A5 DOE!! It was literally everything. I would come back just for that. We were served this first so everything paled in comparison

This spot knows how to satisfy their customers. Constantly with a super friendly demeanor. The food is fairly priced, constantly delicious and clean.

I love this little pub! Great food, great drinks (their mules and old fashioneds are on point) and great atmosphere! The only thing I don't like about this place is that it doesn't open until three or it would definitely be my go to lunch spot. If you make it in early, they have a lot of good snacks on the happy hour menu. The potato tacos are my fav.

First-rate ambience and super welcoming service. The menu was crisp and yummy. Will clearly recommend this spot to anyone. Fair prices and generous portions. Great work.

Pretty good food, great service. We got there late about 20 minutes before closing and they were totally cool with it.

The meals and service were ahead of my expectations. I surely enjoyed the vibes of this place. Fantastic restaurant to take my family out for dinner.

The people were very nice, chips and salsa were good, speedy food but it felt dirty (not clean) and the food was not very good

The restaurant is closing and was there on the last day. Service was good and I spoke to the owner who was kind of a j**** The food is OK. Nothing to go back to so it closeing makes sense. They served soda in cans at $4 a pop with no refills so 2 cans of coke would be $8 etc etc. I had the over priced combo plate of enchilada and flauta was just OK. Way over priced for a very small flauta and enchilada. Best thing on the plate was rice. The gaucamole for the flauta was watery. Portion of rice and beans were very small as well, maybe a quarter cup each? Even if they werent closing I wouldnt go back. The building was labled with another restaurants name as were the chairs. They say they are moving to another location and I'd expect it to be mislabled as well. Too expensive with below mediocre food in very small portions and you have the recipe for a closing restaurant.

Just don't. Keep driving. Food was awful and small portions. Tasted like everything came from a can or was previously frozen. Food came out within 3 mins so you know everything wasn't prepared fresh.

This is a pretty good Mexican restaurant. The service was good, food tasted great, bit pricey if ur new to the area. It's not Tex Mex, rather more Cal Mex. The meat is more dry, less sauces. I would recommend a visit.

$20 for a couple skimpy enchiladas and no chips. Service was good, but the price to food ratio is way out of line.

4 stars for the entertainment, maybe adjust the speakers, but not bad at all. The food on the other hand was a miss, therefore the 3 stars, burp, excuse me. Great presentation, but maybe we didn't order their specialty which is unknown to us, although if it's on a menu then it should be good enough to be sold, right? We ordered flautas and pozole. The flautas looked delicious but they were over powered by the taste of oil they were fried in, no bueno. The pozole was, meh. Too much oil residue floating on top. Micheladas on the other hand were A OK. Thumbs up for that. Will we come back? Probably, let's give it another chance. For today 3 stars. PROS: *Good Entertainment *very friendly staff *Attentive staff *Clean bathrooms!!! *You can see the kitchen *Good for family gatherings CONS: *Food was off (at least that evening) *A bit loud (don't sit under the speakers) *Heartburn (take your anti acid before you go)

I like it, the place is very mexican and the food is good. I ate enchiladas de mole with rice and beans. The staff is nice.

been here only for breakfast, i got the chilaquiles the first time and they were very very good so i came back again after six months and got the same thing, this time was not that great. I was told they had music and the bar are is open later in the day, i think i will try to visit again besides breakfast and see if the food is good. The place decoration is nice, i wish i could tell you more about the food but once i tried more i will
