    My friends and I absolutely loved Mexican Sugar. We were a bit skeptical at first since this location had just opened, but we were pleasantly surprised. Tony was our server and he was amazing! He really made us feel welcomed and cared for. His passion for service definitely made our whole experience exceptional and made us future reoccurring guests. He absolutely sold the whole ambiance of this place through his recommendations and positive service. We could not rave about him enough. He also made us feel like honored guests as we were celebrating a birthday. His recommendations of the Latin Paella and Ceviche were absolutely spot on and incredible. We were also able to split these dishes between 3 adults and left fully satisfied. There was so much flavor in everything we ate. The churros are also a must to try. It’s the perfect texture with a crispy out layer and a perfect bouncy fluff on the inside! Definitely recommend this place and would dine here again! The price point was also exceptional especially for the area it is located in.
