    I was excited to learn that Meximodo opened in Jersey City and was eager to check it out since I loved my experience at the Metuchen location. The restaurant is just as beautiful as the original and has stunning decor. The cocktails tasted fantastic, and I loved that the menu lists choices by flavor profile. The La Chicharrita Spritz was outstanding--the perfect mix of sweet, bubbly, and bold. My friends raved about the Cocolada, another standout cocktail that was rum-based with pineapple juice and lime. I had the al pastor tacos, which were delicious, while my friends had the chicken tinga, barbacoa, and Baja fish tacos. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food, and our sides of yuca fries and plantains were also big hits. For dessert, we ordered churros, which came with dulce de leche and chocolate sauce. The churros were hot and crunchy, and the sauces paired perfectly. Our service was pretty good, though it felt a bit rushed even though the restaurant wasn't overly crowded for a Friday night. All in all, I had a great experience and would recommend it. PS: They are building another location on Route 10 in Parsippany, so I am definitely looking forward to that one opening up!

    Was so excited for this place to open in JC and even more excited to finally come by and check out what they had to offer ! The margarita was amazing -- they give you a choice of tequilas you want and different flavors. Mango was a++++. Really wanted elote but didn't want to to deal with corn in my teeth so we settled on the croquetas which was amazing and different. Had the chicken enchiladas as an entree and whewww. Usually I don't finish my main because I'm already so full but this !! I finished the entire plate. The sweet plantains they had to offer were so different from what I'm used to as it was dressed with crema and cheese and goodness-- the sweet and savoryness of it was such a pleasing experience. Would absolutely come back for a drink and date night!! SAMUEL! Samuel was so sweet and came back to check on us often. I hope you get him as your server if anyone decides to come by!

    Came here on a Sunday evening. Ordered the Yuca fries and they were so crispy and delicious! The staff was so friendly and gave great recommendations. Clean establishment with good music. Also ordered a watermelon margarita which was delicious. Overall amazing service!

    Chicken and waffles

    This place was disappointing from the moment that I stepped in. The host, Leisha ignored me. I was standing there waiting (with a reservation) and she started to help other guests. When I finally was helped-I was seated at a tight table between two other parties. I asked to be moved. I ordered the chicken and waffles. The server did not know how the chicken was prepared (breast, thigh, etc) and had to ask, but outside of that he was very attentive. The chicken was tasty, but the waffles were cold-I didn't bother sending it back because it just would have delayed brunch. The cocktails were good. I wouldn't come here again. It's a beautiful space, but there are a lot of other places in Jersey City with better food and service.

    Visited Meximodo in Jersey City as it seemed to open up fairly recently. I heard of their location in Metuchen, but hadn't had the chance to make it out there before. Got there before 6pm on a Saturday and it was humming. Couldn't even get a table seating, but fortunately got a couple barstools. The place is huge too. There's an entire second floor of seating. In Jersey City, it's hard to find restaurants as big as this. First off, the cocktail menu is quite impressive. More importantly, I was surprised with the number of spicy margaritas available. I went with the Tanteo Chipotle.... and the kick was amazing. More importantly, it came in such a huge glass so I got my money's worth. My fianceé ordered the El Encanto which also tasted pretty good. We noticed the vegetarian menu was quite expansive. We split the Croquetas de Elote as an appetizer and enjoyed it. We then split two main items. The mushroom enchiladas were great. However, we found that the Cauliflower El Pastor missed the mark. The cauliflower was cooked (as it was soft), but it wasn't hot. It was kinda cold/lukewarm. We couldn't really eat it and was disappointed with that. The flan for dessert saved the lackluster cauliflower fortunately. Otherwise, all in all a 4 star review from me. Almost was 3, but the drinks + dessert made up for it.

    They hold the Guinness World Record for the largest agave selection!!!! Their skilled mixologists craft well-balanced cocktails are delish. The menu focuses on high-quality, locally sourced ingredients combined with traditional techniques and bold Mexican flavors. Each dish feels thoughtfully prepared and true to the cuisine. The space is sooo pretty and it's decorated for the holidays, creating a warm and festive atmosphere. A great spot for tequila enthusiasts and anyone looking for a vibrant dining experience in Jersey City.

    Scallop ceviche - 7-10 good serving size but wish it came with more chips and had a stronger scallop taste I.e less sauce!
    Christine H.

    Food and drinks came quickly and all tasted pretty good! Everything was reasonably priced given the location and the restaurant itself being more "upscale". The drinks were strong especially the mangonada! The chips and salsa were also tasty and I wish we asked for a chip refill! Overall, I wouldn't say the staff was super attentive but everyone was nice and the service was good.

    The atmosphere was very nice and I wanted to love it but I was quite disappointed. We asked for water and the waitress asked if we wanted sparkling or still. We said still. We were charged $18!! That's ridiculous! She kept bringing water and charging us for it! All I wanted was the Mexican Smash burger but they ran out of it! Who runs out of ground beef? They should've went to Whole Foods across the street gotten some ground beef to make a burger. I ended up with the Caesar salad, but it was so overloaded with dressing that it was very soggy. My husband, son, and daughter-in-law got tacos. They charged $18 for three tacos and there were no sides! No rice and no beans! They were also very bland. Everything was overpriced and I wouldn't feel bad about the price if the food was good or the portions were bigger. The part that really got me was that I was charged 20% gratuity for a "large party" BUT there were only 5 of us and an infant! I was also charged a $6.50 "convenience fee". This birthday celebration dinner was absolutely not convenient at all! I was scammed!

    Steak tacos , wayyy to spicy

    Whoahhh .. where do I start ? I must say I am extremely disappointed with this place , I really expected a better experience, so here is how it went : Made reservations because I didn't know how busy they would be since it was a Saturday night . However we usually like to sit at the bar when we go out . When we arrived we were greeted by the hostess and I must say she definitely needs training , not exactly the friendliest person . I explained that I'd like to sit at the bar , she said we still had to wait to be seated ( why ?) I never heard of a place that you need to be seated if you just going to stay at the bar . Once we were seated I asked the bartender Angie if she had a list / menu for tequila and agave since they are know to have the biggest variety, her answer to me was : what do you mean a menu ? So I had to explain and she actually went to ask someone else if there was a menu and then comes back and tells me to scan the QR code on the food menu . Once I chose my tequila she seemed to be a bit confused looking for it , asking other bartenders , so I showed her a picture of the bottle and her response was : yeah I know . ( didn't seem like it ) since she was asking others . So that wasn't a pleasant experience , BUT wait , it doesn't end there :( The menu : pretty much EVERYTHING on it is SPICY !!! I know it's a Mexican restaurant , however not everyone likes or can eat spicy food . Not to mention the menu is very poor and doesn't have a big variety . I asked for the steak and cheese tacos since it was the 1% option on the menu without a little hot pepper () , because I am allergic to spicy food . We also ordered the Baja Fish taco and a side of yucca fries . I had to repeat the order 3 times because Angie said the description on the menu is different from the description on her machine ( also with an attitude ). That makes no sense , the menu needs to be the same . The steak tacos and Baja taco's were served And there was no sign of the yucca fries , after 5 minutes I had to actually ask someone for it . The steak taco was so spicy I could only eat half of it ( remember , this was one of the few items on the menu without a little pepper next to it ) and yet was spicy . The fish on the fish taco and the yucca fries were definitely over fried , so not exactly very good . A gentleman named Marcos came to ask us if everything was ok and we explained our concerns to him with the poor information on the menu etc . He then said he was bringing us a shot of tequila which never happened . So much for customer service . They do have a huge variety of tequila that literally goes all the way up to the ceiling , however there's a ladder for bartenders to climb and it look extremely dangerous , specially if they will be going up and down while holding a bottle . The decor is absolutely stunning and definitely high end . However menu is basic and way too spicy . Hostess and bartender could definitely use a customer service class . Considering the fact my birthday is cinco de mayo I really wished this would become my favorite place , but I guess all I was left with was a wish . Sadly . VERY DISAPPOINTING :(

    A true gem arrived to Jersey City! We've visited Meximodo in Jersey City several times with colleagues since it opened in Fall 2025, and each experience has been wonderful. The drinks and food are delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented, and the service is consistently polite and friendly. And what truly puts it all together is the gorgeous décor and thoughtful layout, which create a warm, elegant, and elevated ambiance that feels really awesome. Meximodo is a pleasure to be in and it makes you crave to linger a little longer. Highly recommended and we'll certainly be back! Special thanks to Amanda for her excellent organization of our events.

    Meximodo will become your new Brunch obsession! Featuring their own Meximodo Tequila made by women for women and a record-breaking tequila bar, you will want to make sure this Cocina Mexicana is on your list! Every dish on the menu is a hit and the cocktails are fire... literally! Lola took the best care of us and made some amazing recommendations. The restaurant is very spacious and beautiful, and the perfect spot to meet up with friends or have a romantic meal for two. We can't wait to go back!

    Two of us were sitting here while the table fell off the ledge (food and drinks flying), then it was put back in this same position.

    We were on our last round of drinks when the entirety of our table fell over. Drinks, plates, and one of our phones included. We were in shock, but understood that accidents happen. We were just bummed that drinks were still full when the table went down. Someone came to check on us after the accident, we didn't catch her name but she was professional, courteous and seemed to genuinely care that we were ok. One of us mentioned about how we were bummed about the drinks, and they offered to make new ones. It was supposed to be our last round so we declined but suggested that the last round be taken off our bill, and asked for the bill so we could head out. As we wait for our bill, another manager named Marcos approaches us and starts with a check in to see if we were ok, to which my friend joked "we're just a little shook but we'll be okay." He then proceeded to tell us that we should not have added a third to our table when the reservation was for 2. Keep in mind that when the table flew over there were only 2 of us seated. Confused, one of us challenged him asking why this mattered. After a series of degrading "my loves" and interrupting, this man proceeded to ask "who booked the reservation for 2," refusing to back down from the thought that it was our fault that the table fell over. I've enclosed a picture of the unbolted table halfway off the platform where we were sat. This pic was taken after the table was put back in position (suggesting that it is its standard placement - overhanging from the ledge). Andres (wonderful server!) took our last round of drinks off the bill which was appreciated. If you decide to dine here, I recommend checking the stability of your table and expect managerial cattiness if an issue arises.

    This place is HUGE! They've got some huge Cocktails as well. I'm told that they just opened. So the place looks fresh! They've got a few different areas. I wonder whether or not they put the families with children on one side vs. the areas on the opposite end or top floor. In any case, Meximodo was bustling at 5pm on a Saturday. My friend and I couldn't get a table, but we were content to sit at the bar. Even the bar seating was full within an hour and a half. So beware and make that reservation! We sampled several dishes, including birria tacos, yuca fries (perfect and not too chewy or stringy), croquets de elote and the Baby Back ribs. I felt the sauce on the ribs was a little too sweet, but my friend loved it. We agreed that every thing else was great, though! Meanwhile, they had a lot of design elements that I liked, including floating bar shelves that I now want in my house. The elevated, 2nd floor area looked very trendy. I'd be curious to take a peak up there if I'm ever in the vicinity again. All in all, it was a solid experience. The staff was very kind and very attentive. It seemed like they were everywhere all at once! So it is worth the trip, especially if you like Mexican cuisine. Note: The only reason I pulled a star was because my first cocktail was spilling over as the bartender was making it (not a problem). Unfortunately, he put it down on the counter without a napkin, such that the salt and cocktail mix dripped onto the bar counter. It wasn't wiped away, so subsequently, when waiters arrived with our courses, they were forced to put those plates on top of the cocktail stains. There were no cocktail napkins near us. I didn't want to stand up, walk over to the napkin box at the corner (disturbing other patrons in the process) and make our bartender self-conscious. So, I just left the situation as-is. That kind of stuff tortures the OCD, detail-oriented among us. It's my suggestion that the restaurant adopt the easy fix of putting cocktail napkins under drippy cocktail glasses.

While I can't comment on the wine list personally, I know they are well-known for their extensive selection. After placing our order, we were delivered the sesame pizza bianca, which is a complimentary starter bread with dinner. The bread was a nice size and light and airy with a perfect crust and a delicious, crusty sesame seed bottom. The prawns were our starter and came three to a dish. They were sizable, though since they are served with the head and tail, there isn't a ton of meat on them. That said, they were flavorful and juicy with a nice sauce and just the right amount of spice that didn't overwhelm the fish. The snowdance chicken was the star of the show! It was incredibly juicy and tender with perfectly prepared skin, so I was happy to learn they keep this on the menu year-round. It was topped with some spinach that was solid, though nothing special. We also ordered a side of mushrooms which came with a creamy sauce and fish roe intended to be mixed at the table. The roe wasn't fishy at all but added a great element of umami to the flavorful, well-textured mushrooms. Overall, the service was very professional, though I thought the pacing could have been improved as the dishes came out a bit slowly. I would also recommend ordering at least two dishes per person, as the three plates we shared between two people felt like just a touch too little food. I'm already looking forward to going back--I'd try the winter chicories salad or the veal sweetbreads next time, but I'm open to exploring everything since the quality is so high. I noticed a side dish listed on their online menu that wasn't actually offered in person, so it might be worth double-checking if you have your heart set on a specific item.

All three had very strong flavors that were not balanced with the rest of the drink. After we finished our drinks, we waited an especially long time for the waitress to come back, check on us, and give us our bill. It was especially frustrating because we were the only ones in the bar at this point and we could hear them chatting downstairs. Overall, both service and the drinks need improvement.
