Food was good and fast Guac was fire service was fast and accurate small place sound regular authentic music. I like very good

We were searching for a place to eat. Another restaurant in the area had a 30-40 minute wait so we looked on Yelp for restaurants in the area and found this place which had great reviews. The inside is somewhat small, but clean. The server was very friendly and service was prompt. The painted art on the furniture and walls was excellent. I ordered a chicken bowl with rice, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream and on the side was red enchilada sauce. The chicken was wonderfully seasoned and I only was able to eat half of it. My husband ordered the Texana fajitas, which was a trio of meats (steak, shrimp and chicken). My daughter ordered a Grand burrito. We all left satisfied. I did not get a photo of the hub's or daughter's food before they started devouring them, but I did get a picture of my bowl. read more

Mexico City Restaurant - Chicken bowl (without lettuce) - Mexican Near Me - Jeffersonville, Indiana

First, this establishment is no longer called Mexico City Restaurant. It's now El Mexicano. Each of our group of 4 tried something different. My wife had chicken with shrimp, grilled vegetables and smothered in cheese. I went with Chicken Monterrey. Same deal. Chicken with grilled veggies smothered in cheese. Our friends went with El Tres-3 enchiladas. Cheese, chicken & pork. Smothered in cheese. Are we beginning to see a pattern? Throw in a steak burrito and we've got a full table. The meal started with a good margarita, fairly thick, not greasy chips and a mild salsa. Thankfully, there was some habanero hot sauce to give the salsa some kick. Tortillas served with dinner were probably from a bag and served cold. They were wrapped in foil, but I doubt they ever saw the inside of an oven. Both chicken dishes came with the thinnest chicken breast I'd ever seen. Pounded to the thickness of a piece of tilapia. So thin, it was difficult to find the chicken once it was buried in cheese. The rice and refried beans were standard fair. They don't offer charro or borracho or black beans. And the lack of any noticeable seasoning made for a very bland dinner. Service was very good. The food was served piping hot. Prices were reasonable. I just wish it had some flavor beyond cheese. read more

Definitely NOT fancy, but very tasty, probably the best Mexican food we've had here in southern Indiana since eating at Mi Jalisco in Jasper, 90 minutes northwest of Jeffersonville. Delicious salsa seasoned well with a good amount of cilantro to give it a nice flavor and just enough heat to keep in interesting. Chips were served warm, fresh and crispy-crunchy. They have a very wide menu featuring a great array of Mexican specialties along with the more traditional Mexican-American fare that most people are used to. Since this was our first visit, we played it safe and each tried a good old reliable quesadilla; one grilled chicken, one grilled steak. Both were HUGE and delicious. The steak was seasoned nicely and was still juicy despite being cut small. The chicken I had was flavorful and juicy, as well, made even better with the addition of some the the house salsa. I had rice as a side item and it was probably the best I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant. I'm not sure what they season it with, but I could eat a whole bowl of it by itself. My wife had a Coke; I stuck with water. As an added bonus, when it came time to pay the bill, we were told the older couple behind us had picked up our check. To whomever you are---thank you. We'll definitely be back. P.S. One caveat; the place CAN get noisy when filled with....millennials...who have no idea what an "inside voice" is. read more

This has been our go to place for Mexican food for some time. The owners have always been super friendly and take time to speak with others when they come in and get to know the people there. They added a patio outside that we love when it's not too hot or too cold. I love how the food is fresh always!! You can hear it going on the grill as you walk in the door and the smells walk you to your seats! Today I had the arroz texano but it was big enough to split for two! Portion sizes are huge here. Tacos are another favorite of ours here. Give em a chance and enjoy a new favorite. read more

Mexico City Restaurant - Arroz Texano - Mexican Near Me - Jeffersonville, Indiana

Even with there being no shortage of family-style Mexican restaurants in Louisville proper, it's worth crossing the bridge for this gem of a place. The vibe is clean, bright, and colorful, the service quick and friendly, the menu extensive, and the prices very reasonable (a dollar or so less than average for most items). The food itself is solid, beginning with the excellent salsa (and decent chips). I tried a couple of enchiladas (one beef, one chicken), a fish taco, and a side of beans, and nothing disappointed, though the fish was so-so, and I likely wouldn't get it again. In fact, next time I'll likely just get a chicken tinga enchilada combo (w/ rice and beans), with a mix of green and red sauce. For under $9, that seems to be the way to go. read more

I heard of Mexico City because it is one of the few places around here where you can get carne guisada. The guisada is very good. A bit spicy, but it tastes very authentic. From the outside, the restaurant does not look like much, but it is very nice inside. The tables and chairs are hand painted in bright colors. The walls are decorated in a similar fashion. The service is very attentive. I has returned a few times. They never seem crowded but do a good business at all times. The takeout orders seem to be popular. The salsa has a little too much cilantro, but it is good. They also bring out some bottled sauces which a very spicy. I'm not sure what they are, but one was a tomatillo sauce. They have sandwiches they call tortas, which means turtles. These are Big sandwiches that do look like turtles made out of bread. I had the Cubano, which had ham, cheese, avocado, pickles and a hot dog. Yes, it had a hot dog on it as well as a fried egg. Delicious. Messy but very delicious. Different. I tried their legua taco (beef tongue). Moist and tasty. Soaked through the two corn tortillas it was on. Take a chance and try something different. You'll be glad you did. read more

Mexico City Restaurant - a margarita with ice and a straw - Mexican Near Me - Jeffersonville, Indiana

The last time i went back here i was very upset at how bad it was. We brought our family and couple friends to try the food after we bragged about it over and over. We felt like fools after. The people working this day were extremely rude and short When there was a questioned asked. They acted like they just didn't want to bother with us and we were the only ones eating in at the time. Part of the order that was brought out was wrong. Plates were sloppy and not put together well. My food had a lot of grease and grisel. To top off what was already a bad experience some really upset customers came in and got in a big argument with the people behind the counter. It was not handled well and we thought a fight was going to break out right beside us. Sadly we haven't been back since and won't be back . read more

WORST PLACE TO GO!!! You'll sit for a good 45 min before someone takes you're order! The only white waitress they had quit and she was the only one that could understand you! The Mexican ladies that work their don't hardly speak English at all! Always messing up food orders! read more

Mexico City is a really bright, cute, but no-fuss little Mexican joint in a strip mall. Their menu is huge, but they cover all the basics and are SUPER affordable. The burritos are absolutely gigantic, you won't get through a whole one unless you're actively starving to death and even then, I'd take it easy. Eat some of their delicious, warm tortilla chips, get a taco and eat that, then take a few bites of your burrito and you've got lunch for tomorrow. I especially recommend the steak burrito and the chicken taco. Plus they're understanding and accommodating of my issues- I can't STAND raw onion or cilantro- and I'll get a deluxe taco without those and they're super good about leaving them off. Plus, they don't make me feel like the douchebag I obviously am for going to, say, a Mexican or Thai joint when I don't like onions or cilantro. OH! Their horchata is pretty banging too. You should definitely get one of those. read more

Wonderful family owned restaurant. Delicious fresh food and large portions. Fast service. Overall great experience

This was a great little gem of a restaurant! On a bitterly cold day we were looking for a place to warm up and enjoy some Mexican fare. It was clean and bright and our server greeted us with a smile, our poblanos were piping hot and delicious! A lot of selections on the menu and reasonably priced. If you go there you won't be disappointed. read more

First time at Mexico City and the food was good . Service was excellent . Looks like old Mexico inside . Chiliqules was delicious

Wow . Where to start . The place is cute ! Just a little hole in the wall Mexican restaurant with reasonable prices and good service . We came in for dinner at about 730 and we were seated immediately. We were brought chips and salsa and our drinks right away ! We were then ready to order . I ordered a steak fajita burrito ,queso style with rice on the side . The burrito was bigger than my head (&& that's pretty darn big) My son ordered chicken strips and fries , he really enjoyed them . They were real chicken strips and hot and crispy . Not processed . And my mom ordered chicken chimis . She enjoyed them also ! We all ended up needing a box because there was so much food !! The service was great and friendly. I plan on returning in the near future ! read more

Two chicken and one steak taco later and I am truly impressed. Simply prepared but served to perfection. The right amount of onion and cilantro rounded these tacos out. Mexico City also has their house made sauses- avocado, tomitilo and the 3rd sauce escapes me. Very clean on the inside and staff super friendly. Go with confidence. read more

We were camping at Charlestown state park and got camp set up a little later than planned. We headed into Charlestown but most restaurants were closing or had already closed. Searching yelp led us to this hidden gem! This place is an amazing authentic Mexican taqueria. They offer sit down or carry out with outstanding prices, large portions and friendly service. The menu offers a variety to choose: tortas, tacos, enchiladas, tamales (special that night), fajitas, entrees, and much much more. read more

Mexico City Restaurant - Pollo tinga enchilada con salsa verde - Mexican Near Me - Jeffersonville, Indiana

Just had the corn enchiladas with red sauce, pretty good. The corn chips are a little thick and the salsa is good but has the consistency of tomato paste, I prefer salsa that resembles tomatoes versus ketchup. I would recommend this quaint joint to my friends as well as you. Brings the feeling of being in the home of a Latino friends mom who is taking care of us. Worth the visit. read more

I wanted chinese food today but can not find a carry out or delivery of chinese food. I went to my other favorite food...mexican. I walked in and they are doing alot of renovating. They still don't have tinga but they said they are going to bring it back. I ordered the fish tacos. Not alot of fish on them. The corn tortillas are better than the flour. Ordered the steak, chicken and shrimp fajitas. They look good. I will save that for dinner. Also ordered the barbecoa soup but she explained the the meat was going to be on the side, it wasn't. It is in the soup. I asked for sauces. She gave me one red and one green. That is not enough for all this food. I asked for more. She finally gave me a total of 3 green and one red. Still not enough for all this food. They did not have the avacado/jalapeno sauce that love. Spent $40. For everything. And it all came with rice and beans. I will try mexico city 2 next time. I have some gift certificates from restaurants.com read more

Perfect little restaurant, as authentic as it comes. Not cheap, not expensive, get what you pay for.

This place doesn't look like much on the outside. Once you walk in you know from the look of the decor and the waitresses and the cooks that this is going to be authentic. The cooks were extremely busy, but the place was not packed. To-go orders were coming in and out left and right while we were sitting at our table waiting for our food. I've never seen so many to-go orders in such a small restaurant. I ordered one steak taco and two chicken gorditas and got a Fanta out of the beverage case in my order was $11 and some change. You can't go wrong with these prices. The food is really good and well cooked. The chips were just okay and the salsa had the consistency of tomato paste but the flavor was good. I didn't see any beer selection at all, nor did I see any Margaritas or tequila of any kind, so I don't think they do alcohol. I would recommend this place to anyone who's looking for authentic Mexican food. read more

Mexico City Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Jeffersonville, Indiana

If your travels take you north of Louisville this is a must stop if you like Mexican food. The restaurant was clean and well lit and we were told we could sit anywhere. We were served chips and salsa promptly and shortly after the server took our order. The chips seemed to be little stale and the salsa was different, not bad but more pepper than I am used to. My wife got a quesadilla and I got the Puerto Vallarta and asked for chicken for the meat. We received our orders in a respectful time and were delighted with the first bite. The chicken was tender and flavorful and the rest of the ingredients were very tasty. Our server kept our glasses filled and paid attention to us. Getting the bill was a bit slow but they have take out orders at the same desk as the register. This place is a must if I am in the area and will visit again. read more

I loved this new little eatery in Jeffersonville. They have food truck style food. I had the carnitas and chicken tacos. The tacos may have been the best I've ever had. I absolutely love the taste of food truck tacos compared to restaurant tacos. The restaurant is an old quiznos, and its kept nice and clean. They just opened a few weeks ago, I'm hoping they make it, they are great. read more

My wife and I love this place! Tacos are great and the people are extremely friendly.

Don't be fooled by it's somewhat sketchy exterior. Try the Chicken tacos - absolutely delicious. We tried the carnitas, steak and chicken and the chicken tacos were by far the most flavorful. The chips and salsa were also very good. Definitely worth a shot and for $2 a taco - you can try many different types! read more

First visit, thought it was great! Good service, fair prices.

This is a wonderful place to eat if you want really good more authentic styled mexican food. They have 3 varieties of homemade salsa. Red, hot Red and Green and all are good. Lots of variety of meats and foods also to choose from. Most mexican restaurants are cookie cutter with their selections but this place some unusual ones that are very good. The atmosphere is nice if the TV's arent blaring. The decor and cleaniliness are top notch. Give it a try, you will like it. read more

Went there last week and have been meaning to write a review. I loved it as well as my wife and youngest daughters. My oldest was not with us at the time. We definitely will be back. I find myself more willing to eat at these smaller places because the food seem to be more authentic. The best Mexican is of course in Mexico, but this is close! read more

Very authentic food with friendly service. Highly recommend it. Best value for your buck

Everything about this place deserves 5 stars. Felt like family the moment I walked in and ate as if I was sitting in grandmas house.
