The food is always good here Service w As inattentive and the kitchen was very slow Starter came out quickly there was a long delay for the rest of the food, the side Came out and we finished it before the main dishes came. We requested tortillas, they did not come, then the wrong ones came. What we ordered comes as we were finishing It was disappointing

We loved MXO. Don’t let the fact that it’s surrounded by stripmalls discourage you - the design is cool, music is great, and food is excellent. We loved the fish and steak tacos and salsa. All the cocktails we had were great but their espresso martini was one of my top 5 anywhere. The only thing we felt we could have skipped were the rice and beans. But would definitely go back.

A number of dishes were well-presented but lacked flavor and value. Overall, I would return if I wanted to impress out-of-towners, but it won't be my go-to spot.

Waited over an hour to be seated, considering I had reservations. My food was unfortunately cold when it came out, overall food and drinks were not the greatest. My alcoholic beverage tasted almost as if there was no alcohol in it. Nice ambience and scenery, however the quality of what is served on the table does not match with it.
