It was our first time here for dinner with our friends. The atmosphere is an average chain dining type experience.
The waitress was friendly and polite.
The food was average. A very small portion of chips and salsa. The fried pickles were good.
We were happy with the vegetarian options on the menu. The vegetarian quesadillas were average but nothing special.
It seemed over priced for the quality of the food.

My husband put it best when we got home and asked for something else to eat to get that 'taste out of my mouth'.
It almost couldn't have been worse...until the owner decided the best solution would be a combative, self-gratifying response instead of looking inward and considering why someone might feel compelled to leave their business a 1 star review, but, at least it was consistent with the rest of our experience.
This is just another tacky, minimal effort for maximum profit SJ restaurant that is not good. It was dead empty when we arrived at dinnertime. The food seems prepackaged and heated and all tastes of salt, old grease or sugar (thanks Sisco for making every low/mid-tier restaurant's food indentical with mass-produced, bland as hospital food, profit-over-quality product. You are truly the Shein of food distribution). Shame on restaurants for taking the easy way out rather than making their stuff in house with quality ingredients. If you are opening packages and heating food you are a lunch counter, not a restaurant. I'm not saying that's the case here but it sure looked and tasted that way.
The portions are small and the prices are very high. Large nachos for almost $30 before tax, meant to share, and you could literally count the chips on the plate. I'd mention the toppings but they were mostly dry and sad looking. The other dishes were similarly unappealing with small portions - heavy on the rice, very light on the meat. All the dishes were in the $25+ range. $25 for one burritto is eye-poppingly expensive unless it's huge, gourmet or memorably good. This was small (our son ate two mains), bland and memorably bad.
All four dishes were, lukewarm, flavourless plates with almost laughably poor presentation (how much raw, unseasoned cabbage can one plate have?).
No salsa or sauces on the table to flavour these bland 'Mexican' dishes and none offered. The one thing a Mexican restaurant should have is a good selection of salsas, limes, peppers. None of that.
Zero atmosophere with a low effort 'latin' Spotify list with that tired, overdone, psuedo-edgy, day of the dead and mall graffitti and sports bar tv screens. If your idea of Mexico is a mix of the worst that Cancun has to offer mixed with dark, dreary, bad Canadian strip-mall sports bar, you might like it. In fact, the only thing that reminded us of Mexico were the take-the-piss, tourist rip off prices.
Add a waitress in her yoga gear who doesn't know the menu and will get your order wrong but re-fill your water every 30 seconds while pushing drinks because she expects a tip for doing nothing and that was our Mexis experience.
There is nothing even remotely Mexican about this place.
Servers in yoga pants is not appropriate for serving food. It's low class, too revealing and akin to showing up for work in your pyjamas.
Worse than our already low expectations from reading other reviews. We wanted it to be good. It wasn't.
There is a bad trend of lazy restaurants around SJ that offer the minimum and expect people to pay premium. It's time to start speaking with our wallets. $20 pre-mix Margaritas? Really? $25 Nachos not big enough to share? $23+ burgers? And a tax and 20% tip expected? It's become ridiculous. Maybe it's why this, and many other low/mid-tier places are empty. Restaurants of this caliber, serving ordinary, ready-to-serve food should not be costing a $120-$150 for a simple night out for four.
Cue the smug and condescending response from an owner who seems more concerned with being argumentative than actually addressing an honest review of their business. Don't take my word for it, scroll through the seemingly endless, unanswered bad reviews.

We drove from Fredericton just to go to Mexis for a friend's birthday. The food did not disappoint! Everything was delicious! However, what made our experience was our waiter Alejandro!! The restaurant was short staffed and very busy but he still provided the best service

So I just left this restaurant. And I made a reservation for 5 to celebrate my friends graduation. We came in and we saw that we had the high chairs which isn't an option for us as my friend is disabled. So we thought hey we are going to ask if we can have any other tables available so it’s easier access. The woman with glasses proceeds to say “Nope thats all we have take it, or leave it” Just so disrespectful and inappropriate I am never coming here again!

We had an amazing experience at Mexi’s Restaurant in Quispamsis! The atmosphere is fantastic—perfect for a date night or even a lively gathering with friends. The vibes are just right, and I loved the cool Spanish music playing in the washrooms; it’s a unique touch!
Brianna provided exceptional service, making sure we were well taken care of. Our food was served quickly and was incredibly fresh and tasty. I appreciated that they’re open late, which makes it a great spot for late-night cravings or celebrations.
Whether you're looking for a romantic evening or a place to host a large, loud party, Mexi’s is definitely the place to be. I can't wait to return!

Came here for the second time and ordered nearly every appetizer off the menu instead of individual meals. While I can say that the price was very expensive for how small the apps were, they were all very tasty. My toddler just really wanted Kraft Dinner and cucumbers off the kids menu, and although it was against my better judgment, I got it for her. Well, It was insanely cheesy lol. Like I don’t know how but it was much better than any KD I ever made at home. At least she ate every bite so it was not a waste of a kids meal. The dessert was the best part though!
I have no idea why this place would have a 3.8 star rating , I have come here twice in the last week , waitress , atmosphere and once again the Gringos Taco are unbelievable good , overflowing with goodness and for $20 you will be stuff , thank god my mom was with me to share ... Try it you will be pleased Marc
