    Food is fine and the ambience feels fun and colorful, but service was slow and disappointing. We made a reservation but still had to wait to get seated when it wasn't full inside. We also asked to sit at the bar while we waited for the table and were told we couldn't, so eventually a bunch of people were waiting in the tiny front vestibule only. Not sure why? When we were finally sat, we were sat in the upstairs section in a corner, but there were tables in the main area. Not a great first impression for a new restaurant that seemed to have promise. Food was fine, not wow'ed but not terribly bad.

    Taco Board

    Meximodo major positives: ambiance, lighting, decor, and vibes The service was lacking BUT I did go on Cinco de Mayo so I'm NOT going to harp on them too much for it. It's a busy day. Though we had long waits, everyone was still kind and helpful. Food wise, Meximodo is truthfully mid. I ordered the enchiladas and the red sauce that came with it was uninspiring. The tacos were better. The pricing at Meximodo is wild for the flavors and portions you get. Yeah the taco board looks a lot, but that's 9 tacos and a side of your choice for $59. You come to Meximodo for a fun pre-game before a night out with your friends or for a first date.

    Mango + Passionfruit Virgin Margarita

    Beautifully done establishment. Perfect venue for events with outdoor and upstairs seating. S/O TO THE KNICKS!!!! We ate here after the parade. The decor was all about soccer for the World Cup and they did their thing with the themed setup! Service was excellent, drinks were great. I had a mango and passionfruit virgin marj. I really liked this combination and the glass presentation was unique. I ate the prime ribeye steakhouse tacos without cheese, very juicy and flavorful.

    Red snapper

    I loved the vibe at this restaurant. The servers were friendly. And the drinks were strong, although I got a double shot. I ordered the red snapper as my entree. I do think the snapper could have been seasoned a bit more but it was enjoyable otherwise. Loved the chips and salsa that they give you once you sit as well. I would return to this restaurant.

    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!

    Coconut Margarita
    Auhilda M.

    This restaurant is absolutely gorgeous. The is very aesthetic and perfect for pictures. The atmosphere is really good I came on a Sunday. The drinks were good and the food was absolutely amazing. I had the steak tacos and flautas as appetizer and I would definitely come back I'm doing 4 stars though because our server was very argumentative and made our experience a little uncomfortable. The drinks took a long time to come and he took very long time to come to our table even for entrees and desserts. I first order El jefe and it was alright didn't impress me but it wasn't bad. My problem and disappointment came when I order a coconut Mezcalita with no agave. The first mezcalita was AMAZING. I ordered another one and just asked the server to switch the black salt for tajin. The server took the drink back 3 times and brought the same drink each time. I'm a bartender, the drink was regular tequila and not mezcal. The third time they pour some mezcal on it but did not even shake it. Also I knew it was the same drink because I licked some of the tajin and you can see it was the same cup. What really made me feel offended is the fact that I told him I know my drinks and he had the audacity to tell me "after too many drinks you won't differentiate the taste" now this was really offensive because I am a bartender and this was only my 3rd drink. I ended up asking a manager and he solved the problem. Other than this experience I would definitely return. I recommend coming I think is worth it and the food was absolutely amazing. El queso fundido was great , the regular guac lacked flavor but it was good and the tortillas felt homemade. Great desserts

    Al pastor tacos
    Adalise M.

    I actually wanted to update my review. The first time I went, I ended up feeling sick afterward. I wasn't sure if it was from Meximodo, so I didn't mention it in my original review. However, I returned yesterday and unfortunately felt sick again shortly after eating. This time we tried the brunch taco tray, which I thought was a really cool concept. We ordered birria and steak tacos, and each order came with 3 tacos. We happened to get two orders of birria, which is why there are 6 in the photo, but you can mix and match however you'd like. I also want to mention that our waitress was amazing -- extremely kind, respectful, and attentive. The vibes and atmosphere are always great. My only complaint is that the food seems to upset my stomach. That said, just because it made me sick does not mean: A) the food wasn't tasty, because it definitely was, or B) that you'll have the same experience. This was simply my personal experience, and I genuinely hope others have a better one. I'll also add that while the food is good, there are many other Mexican restaurants out there that feel more authentic.

    Yuca Fries
    Noor D.

    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!

    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.

    My beautiful husband. A part of the menu. Good vibes.

    Second time coming here with my partner. The service is always great and the music is ON POINT. The menu is a little limited but the food is BOMB!! This time we got chicken asada tacos, ribeye bites and the truffle corn. Last time we got pasta, enchiladas and yuca fries. The drinks are strong but my diet coke was a little watery. They have outdoor and indoor seating. The place is beautiful both inside and out :). Definitely would recommend!!

    Chicken and waffles
    Portia D.

    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.

    Flan

    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.

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

It delivered on both fronts, but I really was blown away by the wine. The sheer quantity of available wines is really impressive, and the sommelier was able to recommend a rare wine that fit our interests (a fantastic, effervescent, creamy Txakoli that had lovely fruit and minerals). Later, I tried amazing ice cider. The food rundown: -Sesame pizza Bianca: complimentary bread! This was very good and quite sizable. The bottom is entirely encrusted with sesame. -Scallop crudo (rhubarb, shiso): very good and the plating was gorgeous. Meaty scallops with tangy and pungent flavors. -Snowdance chicken (spinach, sherry, thyme): Super tender, crispy-skinned chicken in a savory sherry sauce. -Sea bass (asparagus, hollandaise): I was surprised at how remarkably well this dish worked. The asparagus was so good with the rich, buttery sauce. Definitely a smaller portion, but the chicken was huge so it balanced out. -Potatoes with ramps: Yum. Served hashbrown-style and the ramps were added as little sauce dollops. I loved the space, and by that I mean the ambience and also the literal amount of space we had to ourselves. We got to stretch out in a roomy corner booth. The room featured a lot of exposed brick and grey and utilitarian ceilings, but it manages to be cozy all the same.

We came in on a Friday evening and it was pretty quiet inside. After we were sat down upstairs, it took a long time for our waitress to come to take our order. We got the Butterscotch flip, Getaway driver, and Big trouble. These drinks were not it. Although the prices are okay($19 each), they definitely need some improvement. 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. Can't really recommend Split Eights over other cocktail bars around.

My friend really enjoyed her drink as well. At $19 per cocktail, it's not the cheapest in the area, but also not the priciest either. Would absolutely recommend Split Eights to anyone looking for craft cocktails in the area.
