    Slice of Chocolate Avocado Cake and Coconut Flan
    Chaitra R.

    First time coming to Mexican sugar for dinner and for the most part it was great! Only caveat was our waiter was very hard to get a hold of during the entirety of service. He was either talking to his friends or no where to be seen, this led to our main entrees taking 30 minutes. The food itself was delicious and the restaurant as always is beautiful inside.

    Went to this place awhile back and was impressed by the quality and service. I really enjoyed the lump crab enchiladas and the sauce on it was amazing and had lots of depth. The pork chop my husband got was really good too. Salsa was tasty! Overall a great place!!

    Combination fajitas !!

    Well I had the chance to come back here again unannounced due to 9 months ago we had less than par service. I am not the person who looks for a free meal or to just complain,so we decided to give them another chance! I believe in my heart everyone needs to be treated the same, with good if not exceptional service. We stopped in for lunch , except this time the visit was above expectation, the service at the front was spot on , and the fajitas were amazing! We chose to sit outside even though it was sunny and hot , under the shade and with a good breeze it was very enjoyable. The wait staff was impeccable and I believe this restaurant has been redeemed at least for me , we will be back again. Thanks for the great service!

    Adobo steak salad

    Mexican sugar has outstanding vibes - great seats, music choice, and they are on point with the theme. My review is slightly biased since I consider this more of a vibe place - great views, patio, electric atmosphere. I'm not crazy about the food but I am interested in it. I've been here many times and this is my first time posting. The chips and salsa that come with are great. I was especially interested in the tequila vinaigrette that came with the salad and I quite enjoyed it. The staff was also friendly and attentive, so points there!

    Overall this place was a wonderful vibe for my and my coworkers. The servers were attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. We got apps for the table that I did it get pictures of but the guac and queso were delightful. The salad was served warm which is not my personal fave but that's just a preference. My entree was the chicken ceasar salad and it was light and refreshing and exactly what I was looking for that night. This seems like a great place to catch up with friends on a weeknight. The design on the inside was breathtaking.

    First timer. This place was hopping! Obviously a place for work events or gatherings. The hostess crew was very friendly and helpful. I'm a solo dinner and they kept watch for me for a bar spot. My bartender was friendly and attentive. I noticed the entire staff was hustling! I ordered the La Citrona cocktail and the lump crab enchiladas. Drink was smooth drinking mezcal. The poblano sauce was so earthy and roasted with some spicy zing. I enjoyed it. I saw some amazing churros coming from the kitchen but I was too full to try.

    Loved my visit to Mexican Sugar! I came in on a Monday evening and there were quite a few patrons, but the service was fast and our waiter was friendly and attentive. We basically came for drinks and to yap, but were tempted to order food after munching on the free chips and salsa the waiter brought out. So, we ended up ordering the arepas and they were warm, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. We also ordered the churros and they were crisp and comforting, and the chocolate avocado cake was rich, moist, and surprisingly light. I opted for a mocktail and was delighted with the watermelon-coconut agua fresca that was super refreshing and delicious. Everything was fresh and tasty -- I'll definitely be back!

    Had to come back to this exceptional Mexican restaurant. We arrived around 5:30 and thought we had a reservation but turns out the reservation date was incorrect. The host at the stand was kind enough to get us seated, though since we were only a party of two. I will say they do have a happy hour here that seems to be very well attended and they have enough space that they were housing several large groups. We watched no less than three busfuls of people drop off and go into the restaurant as we seated outside. Our server was absolutely attentive and just a joy. I tend to drink a lot of water and she was kind enough to just leave a container of it at our table so that I could serve myself. I chose the Adobe steak salad for my entrée. The steak was perfectly cooked and the Adobe sauce/seasoning on it was very good. The salad itself was a little bit smaller than I expected, but overall, I thought the portion size was good since I wasn't terribly hungry. If I would've been more hungry, I definitely would've thought the portion size was too small. My coworker who was with me, got the Seabass, and she said the fish was cooked absolutely perfectly. She was very impressed with the flavor overall.

    I was here for a work event and they booked the private room. There was a set menu. The staff were great, given how packed the restaurant is. The food was great too. I was super full! I loved the cocktails. The steak was perfectly cooked. I loved how tender it was. The only thing I didn't like as much was the dessert - I think the texture reminded me of carrot cake. Other than that, loved everything! Loved it here!

    Classico margarita
    Maria H.

    I came on a Friday afternoon for happy hour appetizers and drinks with friends on the outdoor patio. I ordered a Classico margarita which was nice, I tasted my friends hibiscus margarita which was very good and refreshing. I always hear nice things about the margaritas here so we wanted to try them out and that will probably be the only thing that would bring us back. The warm table salsa is just okay. I ordered queso blanco with added chorizo and it came separate which was a little odd to me but not a problem. The queso did not have chips though so we did have to ask the waiter to refresh the chips for the salsa. Im not sure if he just forgot or what. No big deal though. I do wish the queso was served in something that retains heat better because it got cold SO FAST. It wasn't super flavorful either but not bad either. One friend ordered a fajita quesadilla and she enjoyed it. My other friend took the waiters advice and ordered the marinated shrimp and she said it was just okay but she wouldn't order it again. The waiter was very friendly and attentive otherwise. Again it wasn't terrible but we will come back for drinks over food.

    Mexican Sugar never disappoints! The service is always great--attentive without being overbearing--and the vibe is warm and welcoming. The food and drinks are consistently on point, but the star of the show for me is their chicken enchiladas. So flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and easily some of the best I've had anywhere. Paired with their cocktails, it's the kind of meal that keeps me coming back. Definitely one of my go-to spots when I want good food, good drinks, and good energy all in one place.

    CARNE ASADA TACO
    Donnelly N.

    Really nice looking restaurant with a lively atmosphere. Our server was friendly and attentive. I got the skinny margarita which was really good. One of my colleagues got the r margarita flight which was very colorful! She liked 2 of the 3. We started with chips and salsa and added guacamole. The guac was very fresh and made in house. The salsa was medium but was a little too tomato-y for me. The chips were perfect-thin and crisp. I was able to sub out my rice for green beans that were cooked perfectly. The black beans were cooked well also. The carne asada tacos were very ample. I got the corn shells which were ok. They totally fell apart and they seemed more like half flour half corn. But the steak was delicious!
