It had been years since I last visited The Nexmex Thing, and I wasn’t even sure what to expect when I walked in—it’s moved across the street since I was last there. Honestly, I wasn’t even hungry, mostly thanks to a stressful day at work. But I’m really glad I stopped in for lunch.
I ordered the grilled carnitas burrito, and it turned out to be absolutely delicious. From the first bite to the last, every layer of flavor came through—tender, flavorful pork, fresh toppings, and perfectly balanced seasoning. It was one of those meals where you keep eating not out of hunger, but because it’s just that good. And yes, despite not feeling hungry at all, I ate the whole thing.
I’ll definitely be heading back soon. This place is worth rediscovering.
NexMex is good. We got a Birria burrito and a chicken quesadilla. Both were absolutely delicious. We have also gotten nachos, tacos and street corn here. They have a great horchata, too. Four stars because the flavor and/or seasoning of the dishes is inconsistent. Every third visit or so the meat is under-seasoned and the pork is a touch too dry.
Went to eat in person. We all enjoyed our food. Got burritos with beyond meat and grilled veg, nacho fries with no dairy, rice bowls and a passion fruit margaritas. They used to be very inconsistent but hopefully they got it together now. Was quiet when we went, service was decent.
Standard mexican restaurant with plenty of options to choose from. One thing that stood out was their mango salsa!
Best burrito I've had in a while!
Wife almost choked on a bone in her enchiladas... Why would a bone be in her enchiladas? I don't know. They gave us a $3 discount and didn't even sound concerned. Won't be going back. I have pictures but for some reason can't post them on this Google review page

Forget to make our food then blamed it on a door dash driver claiming they “stole it”. When I asked to remake it they told me it wasn’t “their problem”. The manager was the rudest person I’ve ever spoken to in my life (and that’s saying a lot). She hung up on me twice because I couldn’t understand how she expected me to just accept we weren’t getting an $89 order with no refund or explanation. Really unfortunate vibe cause the food is good, but personality and service is subpar and NASTY.
Check your bill carefully. They have tacked on things we didn't order each time we've eaten here. Once might be an accident, three times in a row is policy.
Also, got a burger there and it was the most paper thin patty I have ever gotten anywhere. I wasn't even sure there was a patty at first.
My kid got the greasiest burrito (which had no reason to be greasy).
They make some weird/bad food choices here.

We saw a little mouse running around and we called him ratatouille. The tequila flights were absolutely amazing.

Whenever we want a real taco salad we go to this place. It's always filled with great healthy food.

There are better places for a taco. This was laughable for $10. Kinda ruined the entire experience for me how little these were tbh when if i had known the loaded quesadilla for $5 more would have been triple the portion. At least a third taco for 2-3$ more would have been justified.Other than that everything was fine, not really anything that makes this place stand out over their competition.

Their food is delicious but don't order Uber eats from them. Every single time they forget something in my order and I have to request a refund from them for it. Just go in if you can, never Uber eats them.

Drinks were terrible - just syrup. There were two bartenders and it took 10+ minutes to get our drinks. Food was just okay - ordered a salad with avocado dressing and came plain, quesadilla had no sides such as salsa or sour cream.
