Mexta

The whole experience felt a little confusing. I couldn’t quite figure out what vibe they were going for, and unfortunately the food didn’t help. To make matters worse, a “glitch” caused every table seated after us to get their food before we did.

When the food finally arrived, it was a letdown. My boyfriend’s $50 chicken was dry, and my seafood dish looked like an aquarium explosion on top of green mystery paste. The presentation was so confusing I thought the fish was bread.

The drinks were fine, but between the service, atmosphere, and food, this one missed the mark. Michelin Guide 2025? That’s the most surprising thing on the menu.

Service was excellent throughout the night.

Overall: incredible command on flavors. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend, especially the steak + mole, brownie, and Carajillo!

We were absolutely blown away by the food here. We tried the Tetela, Hamachi Tiradito, Shrimp Aguachile, Lobster Roll, Rice Pudding, and Cheesecake. Everything was unique, complex, and delicious, but for us the Hamachi Tiradito and the Cheesecake were our show-stoppers. The Cheesecake does take some extra time to prepare, but it's worth the wait.

We also had a few of their cocktails, which were fabulous. My favorite was the bacon fat-washed margarita. Just trust. And their Carajillo was simply perfect with dessert.

Last but not least, the service was on point here, we felt spoiled during our dining experience at Mexta. By our server, the hostess, and the manager, Haylee. This place is going to be a hit and I'm excited to come again!
