La Mex is a Mexican restaurant that offers a lively dining experience. The food reviews are mixed, with some dishes praised for their flavor while others fall short. The Fajitas are described as flavorful and juicy, featuring "fat little chunks of meat," and the garlic shrimp in the appetizer is noted as one of the best-tasting items. The Carne Tampequeña and Diablo burrito also receive positive feedback. However, some customers have mentioned that the salsa, chips, and tostadas were not crispy and lacked taste.
The service is described as efficient, with an excellent waiter who is quick to refill drinks, although he may not check in on customers as often as they would like. The atmosphere remains lively, filled with loud music and a busy vibe. The women’s bathroom has been noted as needing attention, with a messy appearance.
Overall, La Mex offers a mixed dining experience, featuring standout dishes like the steak fajita and delicious margaritas, alongside a vibrant atmosphere. While there is room for improvement in food quality and restaurant upkeep, many loyal customers appreciate the consistent good food and care from the staff. This is a great spot for an average working man to enjoy a fun meal with family.
