We had the most wonderful 96th Birthday lunch for our mother, grandmother and great-grandmother at Mexique Cafe. The staff were amazingly accommodating and went beyond our expectations. The food was delicious and all 10 dishes arrived at the same time. It was quite a feat when all 10 dishes were different! We will definitely return before her 97th Birthday!

Wonderful non pretentious neighborhood French restaurant offering good food at reasonable prices with Mexican decor and a very hospitable host. Loved the mussels and frites and the wine at happy hour prices.

Had an amazing time, great food, hospitality, cozy and comfortable, authentic French fair. Will be back.
Absolutely perfect high-quality French food, in a lovely classic cafe atmosphere. The prices are very reasonable for the quality. We had coq au vin and mussels and some very good wines, including a Bordeaux from the Medoc -- something I rarely see on a wine list. I live nearby and walk past here nearly every day but did not even realize it was a French restaurant. There's no obvious sign with the name, just some hard-to-see lettering on the window. They rarely post on Instagram. I worry that no one knows what's here -- just as we didn't! I hope neighbors will support this -- it's literally a hidden gem.

Went for dinner early on a weekday, didn't need a reservation. Atmosphere was great; they have nice chalk art on the wall and put candles on each table. Service was also great, our waiter was very attentive!
The steak frites with the peppercorn sauce was great, and it went well with a side of mashed potatoes! Salmon with ratatouille was ok, though I wish the ratatouille was a little less sour. Escargot and seafood pasta were ok. Creme brulee was much larger than I expected and tasted good, but a little lemon-y?
Overall, food was good and worth the price!

Love this spot! My sister introduced us to one of her favorite South Slope eats and thankfully, it did not disappoint! French cuisine, American fare. Woo Hoo!
After our trip to IKEA, we were starving… so met up with sister & her fam for brunch. What a cute and hidden gem! Cozy space, a few tables outside and an outdoor patio. Love the team and staff here, really nice people, kind and welcoming. The food, wow… they impressed my picky kids… lol
Steak & eggs w/ home fries for the 15 yr old, he loved it! Tender and well seasoned. College kid, husband and me all got their classic burger with caramelized onions but sautéed mushrooms for me; perfect medium, juicy and savory - with crispy fries. What’s not to love?!? Great burger. I had a bite of the French toast my sister got and it was fluffy & delish. She & her husband had mimosas (brunch on weekends); it had a foamy cappuccino. We cleaned our plates! And can’t wait to come back and try their dinner menu.
Second time here, second time ordering the salmon with ratatouille — and once again, I ate every bite. The salmon is perfectly cooked, and the ratatouille is packed with rich, comforting flavor. Cozy atmosphere, excellent service, and consistently delicious food. Absolutely delicious — highly recommend!

Mexique Cafe is a wonderfully conceived neighborhood french bistro. The food is excellent and the service is excellent. These are the classics, coq a vin and steak frites for dinner, omelettes and quiche for brunch. Both times I have been, the service has been warm and generous and welcoming. The wine is excellent. French tunes play and you are encouraged to lounge.
Go there. Eat their food. Drink their wine. Enjoy this neighborhood gem.
Update: I have been at least another half dozen more times, and each time it is wonderful.

Amazing food— the quality is top notch, the vibes are easy, and the service is attentive. I’ve been here for brunch and dinner, and every time I come, I feel amazing about supporting this restaurant. They’re making incredible food, and everyone should know it. This last trip, we enjoyed sitting in their backyard. The bleu cheese burger was absolutely fantastic— cooked to our request, and so flavorful. We always leave here feeling taken care of. Not a place to overlook— it’s not instagrammy, it’s just good.
