Service... ambiance is beautiful Service is trash Some of the brunch dishes could've better Margaritas have too much damn ice for $15! Why do u have chicken tenders that are spicy on a children's menu?? The burger didn't have any lettuce or tomato The chicken on the meximodo bowl was salty ! The guac is great but why give a table of 5 , 3 tostadas! Makes no sense Will not be coming back read more

The luxury of adulting is that all my friends work in different places, so we make it a point to meet once or twice a month. After the last place my friend chose, where we hated the food, we were definitely skeptical about him picking again. But this spot completely redeemed him. The food was amazing, the drinks were hitting, the music was a whole vibe, and the waitstaff was so professional. Catarina was an absolute gem, sweet, friendly, and made the experience even better read more

Hmmm. The restaurant is really nice. The food was ok. The aquachille is was really yummy. The frozen margaritas not bad. Fajitas were presented nicely but the steak was ok. Cut in small pieces should have been strips. The rice and beans no depth. read more

Ambiance is great. The service not so much. The food is okay but not amazing for the price they charge. I went here for my anniversary dinner and was disappointed. I also ordered the churros and they tasted like they were fried in the same oil as they fry the fish. Probably never going back. read more

Fantastic ambiance, service was fine. Food was mediocre, prices too high. I really really wanted to like this place, despite the high price (everything starts at $25). We ordered a Mexican street corn which was fine, but I think was missing a standard ingredient - we spent quite of time pondering it, until our other dishes came out. We ordered a red sauce mushroom enchiladas and cauliflower el pastor. The presentation was fine but there was something a miss with the flavor on both. Part of it was a texture issue - the cauliflower seemed boiled instead of baked, and the mushrooms in the enchiladas were also mushy. It was flavorless (but not bland, it had more than enough salt) - so again something was off. Anyway I hope they figure it out soon. read more

Good sized portions and the food was great. I did also appreciate the decor and the way that they have set up the restaurant. That being said, we were there for lunch on a fairly empty day and the service was a bit slow. Overall, worth a visit if you're in the area read more

Meximodo - Mexican Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Booked a reservation for 2 on a Saturday. The venue is pretty spacious and well decorated. They have 2 floors but we got a booth on the first behind the bar. We tried the Baja Fish Tacos and the street corn, guacamole, and pork tacos. The portion sizes were pretty large so would recommend just getting 1 app but they were really delicious. I loved the street corn and fish tacos - great flavored and well prepared. Be sure to also try their margs. The waiter was also friendly! read more

I stopped into this restaurant to get dinner. When I arrived I walked in and was greeted and sat at the bar. I was served by Milton and he was nice! I ordered some red wine and also the Pollo con mole. It took about 15 minutes. When it came it looked tasty and it was tasty. I liked the flavors. All in all a good experience! read more

Loved Meximodo! The service was great, our bartender was friendly and attentive. He made sure our drinks were always full and always stopped to check on us. The place is nicely decorated and very clean. The queso fundido appetizer was so good, must try! The salsas were also good and definitely have a spicy kick. Will be back here for sure. read more

The ambience is really good. The place is absolutely beautiful the holiday decorations 10 out of 10. the girls at the front door definitely are in training. Our server was super sweet, super friendly. She was really nice. The food did take quite a while to come out even after we ordered drinks and appetizers. The guacamole was 10 out of 10. The food itself is definitely not authentic Mexican but it's good quality. everything that is stated to be a Mexican dish is clearly not Mexican. It's good quality food but more of a gentrified dish and that's for all the dishes. The only complaint I have is the black beans that came with my meximodo bowl were burnt to where they were not edible and if you know about burnt beans you know that they taste very smoky. It's an okay place. The almond horchata is a must try read more

As someone who has been to their Metuchen location I was looking forward to seeing their JC location. The ambiance and interior is beautiful, well decorated and it is massive with 2 levels! Service was good too! While I loved their beverages - they have a huge selection of cocktails and mocktails, the food was a little underwhelming. We went for brunch and they started off with popcorn which was nicely seasoned. The chilaquiles were good (you can get without eggs or eggs on side), the Mexi fries were good too, but their "best seller" street corn was not good in my opinion. It was so sweet and barely had any flavor. The server was kind and took it off my bill as I barely touched it. I am hoping they improve the flavors and making it more palatable. Plenty of veg options. read more

This place is a vibe. It is so beautiful inside, the decor is just fabulous. The music is also great but a tad bit loud. It is nice and spacious inside and clean. The service is top tier. The waiters ensure they are attentive. The waiters come back and refill the water before it's even finished and take the plates right away when you're done and come to check multiple times. The food is absolutely out of this world and flavorful. Their chimichurri sauce has to be one of the best ! Their appetizers too are to die for. They are a hit on the pricy side but for food and service that good it's worth it! read more

The new space is really vibrant and filled with interesting decor. We sat in the upstairs dining area which has another small bar. The staff were all friendly and attentive throughout our meal. I believe our waiter's name was Dewey; he was patient and gave us some recommendations. We loved the drinks and appetizers we had. The tacos were good, but not our favorite in JC. Would definitely come back for the ambiance and overall dining experience. read more

Meximodo - Classic margarita - Mexican Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

We came here as a group of 13 with 7 kids. So it was quite an experience at a rather upscale restaurant. The cool 2 story bar is the first thing you notice when you walk in. People loved the Margaritas and they were big! I got smoking agave old fashioned. It was a smoky mezcal interpretation to the original. Strong but mostly a large block of ice filled up most of the cup. Appetizers were shared. The ladies loved the street style corn and most of us enjoyed the croquetas. They could have used a little more queso and spice though. The quesadilla de hiitlacoche was fine. The shishito peppers were a miss. Not as spicy as I thought and just charred up with sauces on top. The mushroom enchiladas come as 3 and are tasty. The cauliflower al pastor looks like a lasagna but lacks flavor. The kids enjoyed the cheese quesidillas and loved the cheese pull! The margarita sundae was good. But they adorn the cup with unedible sprinkles and coat the bottom with tons of Marie cookies. The icecream is amazing and the kids enjoyed the lollipop. The service was quick but no one ever came to fill up waters often enough. read more

Great location and lovely aesthetic inside and outside; we sat on the terrace. Our server was friendly and attentive. We had an assortment of street tacos, all were very good, the carne assado stands out. The sweet plantains were great but in my opinion the salsa drizzle takes away from the dish. read more

SUCH a chill vibe! beautiful decoration and amazing margaritas with a generous amount of tajin just like we asked for. The mexican ceaser salad was delicious along with the carne asada and the mango guacamole. Everything we got was fresh and amazing! A special thanks to Jay for showing us the jaja tequila. Will becoming back! read more

Went for dinner on a Sunday night and had a fantastic experience. The restaurant is huge -- two floors with a stunning bar and colorful art everywhere, giving it a lively, upscale vibe. The cocktail menu is impressive, featuring over 600 agaves (tequilas and mezcals) -- which, believe it or not, is actually fewer than their Metuchen location that boasts over 1,000! I tried the Smokey Old Fashioned made with mezcal and tequila -- it's served in a smoke box that releases a cloud of aroma when opened. If you're a fan of bourbon Old Fashioneds, you'll love this creative twist. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable, and I really appreciated that they have a separate vegetarian menu with several dishes that can be made vegan -- definitely a great spot for plant-based eaters. We started with three fried tortillas served with different salsas and sauces (a fun touch), plus the guacamole with cherry tomato, which was fresh and flavorful. The shishito peppers were excellent, and my friend raved about the skirt steak, which came with yucca fries that were crispy and delicious -- almost like savory French toast sticks. I ordered the cauliflower al pastor, which was outstanding -- flavorful, satisfying, and beautifully plated. I'll definitely be back to try the maitake tacos, some of their salads, and maybe one of their tequila flights next time. A perfect mix of ambiance, creativity, and hospitality. read more

Came here to celebrate my daughter's birthday with my wife and three kids. The place itself is really nice -- great vibe, nice atmosphere, and overall we were excited to be there. Unfortunately, the experience was disrupted by what seemed to be a restaurant-organized food review happening right next to our table. There was a full setup with tripods and a bright light that was repeatedly flashing directly toward us for most of our meal. It made it very difficult to enjoy what was supposed to be a special family moment. At one point, the setup even blocked access around our table, so every time someone needed to get up (like to use the restroom), our entire table had to stand. That shouldn't be happening in a dining environment. I did speak with the manager during the visit, and she was very understanding and apologetic, which I appreciated. She mentioned someone would follow up with me, so I'm hoping to hear back. I completely understand restaurants wanting to promote themselves, and there were other guests taking photos/videos respectfully -- no issue there. But having a full production setup right next to diners shows a lack of awareness and consideration. Hoping management can tighten this up moving forward, because the place really does have a lot of potential. read more

Meximodo - light flashing on our table the entire dinner - Mexican Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Very disappointed in this place but I guess when you have all this corporate money to make inside super beautiful and expensive you start saving on the food quality. Good thing there is still other real Mexican places in town. If this was a mom and pops place with this food it wouldn't last a year but having big bank I give it 5-6 years before they close. Nice inside and friendly staff. Got the steak was very chewy. The scallop ceviche seemed like was put into blender and thrown up in the plate. No texture as it's tiny cut and mashed potato consistency. Steak tacos you would think they give steak pieces but was beef stew shredded and put into taco. read more

Ordered a virgin pina colada, def was not virgin - because I turned purple. I have bad reactions to alcohol. I asked the waitress about it, she showed me on her handheld that she put it in as virgin; but did not check with the bartender. She decided to blame it on the "spice", Meximodo "spice" is at best a 3/10. Won't be returning. read more

Great ambience - interior is luxurious and stunning. We had a reservation but had to 20 minutes. People came after us without reservation were seated prior to us. One of the hosts was not able to manage simple tasks. Service is slow (cheese quesadilla took 40 minutes!). Food was decent but some might find it subpar given what you pay. We did not order any drinks. read more

1. We arrived 5 min before our 6pm reservation and the hostess told us to wait. Two minutes later a couple walked in and were seated right away for their 6pm reservation. We had to ask the hostess "what about us?" before she silently grabbed the menu and took us to our table. 2. Decor is exceptional (which is the only positive thing about this place). 3. Service was VERY slow. No water until 15 min after we sat down. Our drinks came 30 min after we sat and ordered. Then food (appertizer and main) came TOGETHER 50 min after we ordered. 4. Margarita looked pretty but tasted average. Steak taco was good. Steak had zero flavor - we took the salt from the margarita rim and put it on the steak to make it taste better. 5. Another table was asking the waitress a lot of questions about the menu. After taking their order, the waitress turned to us and complained to us about that table. Very unprofessional. We will not be back. read more

Fun environment with pretty good sound proofing so you can actually hear each other while having a conversation over dinner. Didn't get to try the drinks, so was just here for food. Got the shrimp and watermelon salad, shrimp tacos, a side of yucca fries, and the corn dish. Getting seated was a little slow despite having a reservation. But food came out pretty fast. I thought the shrimp and watermelon salad was very generously portioned and the shrimp was tender. The yucca fries were a bit of a disappointment, it tasted a little more processed than I would've liked. Overall friendly service, nice ambiance and a good place to hang out. read more

(2 adults, 1 teen & 3 month old) I took my husband there on a Thursday for his birthday, we had reservation, but had to wait a little. The place was amazing. We were seated up stairs, as you walk up the stairs you get an over view of downstairs the view was beautiful. Once we were seated at our table, our waiter came over he had such a positive energy, explained everything to us. Two waiters work up stairs and with the amount of tables and people, the waiters managed to bring everything out in a timely manner. For drinks we had Cocolada definitely recommend & a Mock tail Jamaica hibiscus, love it ! The food was incredible! I ordered the ribs. I've never had ribs like this before, they FELL OFF THE BONE! My husband had the hanger steak, he says the flavor was there but when he asked for medium it came out raw. My son had the cheese burger and says it was really good. I would also recommend street corn. Every Mexican place we go to I always order street corn and this by far was such a tasty dish ! One of my favorites. The only thing I would say, if you're bringing food home check the bags, my delicious ribs were missing. Music was loud but able to talk, baby was able to sleep still. Paid approx $30-50 per person. read more

Great for my birthday. Fantastic selection of tequilas, amazing guacamole. Skyler was the best!

The music was extremely loud , over 98 dB according to my Apple Watch. At that level it's actually painful, and conversation is impossible. No one at the surrounding tables was talking ,everyone was just enduring the noise. The staff even told us they know it's a problem, but nothing is done. It must be terrible for them to work hours in those conditions. This is not really a restaurant, it's a nightclub where you happen to sit down to eat. Maybe an avant-garde concept, but we came to enjoy a good meal and time with friends and that was simply impossible read more

Positive: Food and Server for the table were good. Negative: We have a bad experience with the front host. The girl with long pony tail, straight hair was not friendly or welcoming. Her rudeness and straight face is a turn off for the great ambience and makes us not wanting coming back. We had 2 adults and 2 little kids. She sat us at table that doesn't fit high chair. She was annoyed when we ask for booster or high chair as this is adding extra work for her. Left us there when she was finding another table. She came back a few min later. I asked where she will move us because we could make this current table work by sitting the 3yrs old in the bench and 8yrs old in lower chair and lean over. She wouldn't tell just repeating you asked for high chair right so you will move. I insist to know where before moving. She was unwilling but finally pointed to the other side of the bar. We said no thanks we will stay here and make this table work. She was annoyed and walked away mouthing some words. We sat for 15 min with no one attending us. Until manager come over and asked in surprise if we were attended for. We said no and a server was sent right away. I can only speculate the front host never told our table server that customer were sat down at the table. We also put in reservations it was for celebration, same host never asked what is the occasion and any special desert or cake or any arrangement. We weren't in the mood to do anything at that point anyway but just want to mention. read more

This restaurant is beautiful, the food sounds delicious... but it simply is not. I paid $18 for 3 small tacos that contained meat that tasted like it was made a week ago. The drinks are delicious but that's about it. :( I wanted to like this place read more

I rarely write reviews unless the food or service is either outstanding or truly disappointing. Unfortunately, Meximodo fell short. The service wasn't great, especially considering the restaurant wasn't very busy. I had to flag someone down just to clear empty dishes from the table, which took away from the experience. We ordered the queso fundido with chorizo, scallop ceviche, steak tacos and flan. The queso fundido with chorizo appetizer was the best dish--rich and flavorful. The scallop ceviche, however, was bland and lacked texture, and the steak tacos were disappointing as the meat was shredded rough beef rather than steak chunks, which wasn't what we expected. My virgin piña colada was $13 filled with entirely with ice, leaving very little actual drink. For dessert, we ordered the flan, but the custard wasn't smooth at all. Honestly, even the flan from Whole Foods is smoother and more flavorful. Furthermore, the restaurant charges a 2.90% convenience fee, passing on credit card processing costs to customers as a fee. This fee was already in my bill before it was determined on whether i would pay credit card or cash. Overall, the food and service are not worth the price. Both Taqueria and Mariscos El Submarino SIGNIFICANTLY stands out in BOTH food quality, value and service (the kids agreed). read more
