The interior decor looks great, very eye catching, and the food isn't bad (though it seemed nothing was outstanding either that we ordered). The complementary chips and a variety of salsas and dips served with are very tasty though. We (four of us) had a 4 pm reservation, seated quickly, and our orders were taken promptly, and served quickly, Each time a server passed by our table, we were asked if we wanted a plate with remaining food removed. This quickly became super irritating. Clearing the table while not yet finished does not make for a pleasant experience. Ultimately it felt like we were rushed during our meal, making for a return visit anytime soon doubtful. The red snapper ordered at $37 seemed a bit overpriced, and the food menu seems basic and limited. The menu's front page lists food, and the back page lists drinks. Seems both drinks and food get equal menu space. One more thing..When presented with the bill, there is listed an added charge, with a vague description I now can't even recall, When we questioned this, our server told us it is the added on fee for paying by credit card (which is NOT identified as such), and it is included in the bill's total amount due. (no indication of 2 charges for cash/credit on the bill) I was under the impression that if businesses chose to charge for credit, it must be clearly stated, and not snuck into the total amount due. After writing this review, I realized I was being overly generous with the 2 stars rating. read more

Very loud & club-like energy... not a complaint, just not a place to go if you're planning on conversation. Food is fresh & flavorful.

We had a great time. Marlyn was our server and was absolutely fantastic. The cocktails (el jefe and el Rey) were well balanced. The food was very good with options for everyone. Get the chocolate cake for dessert! read more

Have been here a few times and it's great. Great margaritas, incredible Mexican street corn, steak and cheese tacos are my favorite. This last visit on 6/17 was a bit over salted but still not a deal breaker . read more

This popular new restaurant is pricey. The food is good and not run of the mill Mexican and the ambiance and service are above average. It was $18 for 3 tacos (good but not amazing for the price). My husband's Mole Chicken was moist (a first for chicken breast!) and delicious. My mocktail was tasty though it was a small glass. Service was attentive but not overly fussy. The restaurant's dark interior with neon lights is very New York-ish. Overall, it was a good experience and worth a second visit for a special occasion. read more

The 2 stars are for the ambiance and decor. We arrived on time for our reservation (7:00) and had to still wait OUTSIDE in the freezing windy weather. I was not prepared to be standing outside in that type of weather. We asked if we could go inside and get a drink at the bar while we wait and we're told no it's for reservations only. Don't plan to get there early and wait at the bar, it ain't happening. After 15 mins we were brought into a lobby area and still waited another 10 mins. We were sat at a table of 3 for a party of 4. 2 girls had to squeeze on one end made for 1 person. We had to ask 3 times for our drinks and the appetizers came out before we got our drinks. Service is everything and this place was definitely lacking. It was super loud like a cafeteria chatter making it hard to hear each other talking. The Mexican street corn had to be canned, typically it is an ear of corn this was in a bowl and not what I was expecting although it made it easier to share it didn't seem fresh. I ordered the red snapper which was pretty good. If you like fajitas, they don't have them. The entrees on the menu could use a little help, it seemed limited with a small selection. After dinner it felt pretty early to end the night (9:30) so we asked if we could grab drinks at the bar. Again we were told no you had to reserve a spot. 3 big turn offs, waiting outside with no shelter for our table, drinks were taking forever, no chance of ever getting a drink at the bar either while you wait or after. It's a shame because the bar is beautiful and a big draw for guests but you can't get near it. Not worth all the hype. read more

The appetizers and drinks were amazing! And the service was great. The restaurant itself is also so beautifully decorated. My friends and I had a great meal here. read more

Went to Metuchen for Sunday brunch at 11:30am. We headed to Hatch 44 but the 90 min wait sent us happily to Meximodo. I'd heard about it from their heavy social media presence, and was very excited to try it. Because we didn't have a reservation we agreed to sit at the bar after a short wait. But after a short 10 min. wait, we were seated at a table. That was a very nice surprise! Our waitress was very sweet and took our order. The restaurant is beautiful (very instagrammable), and clearly very busy. We ordered a plain guacamole appetizer, huevos rancheros, chocolate pancakes and coffee. For dessert we had the churros. Unfortunately from this point, I don't have anything nice to say. Sadly, the food was not great. I really did have high hopes for this place. I was truly looking forward to my meal. The coffee tasted like Sanka. The chocolate pancakes were basic, and the huevos rancheros were questionable. The eggs were supposed to be over easy...but the eggs looked like they never hit the griddle. They looked RAW. I barely ate. I should have sent it back, but we waited so long for our entree, I didn't bother. The restaurant was beautiful, the staff was great (they got the stars) but the food was mediocre. Do yourself a favor, go to Mariachi's on Main Street. Less crowded, better quality, authentic Mexican food and just as equally instagrammable. read more

I was dying to try this place and was unable to for lack of a reservation! Some of the hype has died down so I was finally able to try it. I was impressed and pleased with the ambiance and the service. As far as the menu goes I was left wanting more.... The menu is limited and the prices are high. I had two drink, a steak / cheese sandwich, coffee and shared a dessert. It all came to $80 and change. It was good to try and see what all the hype is about but won't be going back any time soon. read more

Service was bad. The table was not ready 30 minutes post our reservation time. Staff were rude especially the ones at the front and we had to escalate to the manager to be seated. Food was okay,except the nachos which was soggy. read more

Solid place but MASSIVELY overpriced. As far as variety of tequila, they have a great collection. I'm strictly a tequila drinker, collect bottles and have been to many farms. I know my tequila & the prices, and this where this place is disappointing to me. They are the definition of price gauging. I ordered a couple of some of my favorites (Fortaleza, G4, Cazcanes, El Tesoro) & it was between $27-60 per each. Those prices are criminal. I'm glad they have great variety but I definitely won't be returning with those prices. read more

I placed a to go order and got the barbacoa tacos but then instead of sending barbacoa i received chicken tacos. From these i got a really bad food poisoning because of it. I believe the chicken was undercooked. read more

Beautiful place however menu was limited and food was good. Basically a kick ass bar with Mexican food.

Food was good, ambiance is great. Music is little too loud but overall it was good first time visit for us. Great for celebration, a little too much on $$$ side. Service was prompt and helpful. read more

Food was really good, try the guacamole with pork belly, amazing ambiance, service was top notch. Highly recommend.

The place is very beautiful. It can get very crowded on a busy night, but I love the ambiance of the place. Also nice that they validate the parking for the garage behind the restaurant. For my entree I ordered their birria tacos and I'm sad to say they were oddly dry. Even after I dipped them in the consommé the meat was still very dry and their consommé was watery and kind of lacking flavor. I did, however, enjoy my drink. I would give this place another try and order something different, but I left feeling so-so. read more

The service was sluggish. After finishing our water, my wife and I asked for more, but our glasses were only filled a quarter of the way. Throughout the meal, that was all we received. The guacamole lacked flavor, aside for a few fruit pieces on top. Similarly, the tacos were bland; the shrimp ones tasted solely of sauce, while the pork belly was so tough it was impossible to chew. The highlight was the underwhelming chips and salsa at the start. Despite a cool ambiance, the food was disappointing and overpriced, not to mention the 3% card fee. read more

Four of us went recently to meximodo for a gastronomic experience. Three out of four entrees where sent back due to food been cold like from a refrigerator. They redid them and still not hot. Rice seemed to be a day old and dry. Waitress didn't tell manager to approach our table knowing we weren't happy with food. Very disappointed. read more

This is my second time to meximodo! We have come once for brunch and once for dinner! Dinner was by far our favorite. Let's start with our waitress, Karys. She was extremely sweet, attentive, and provided excellent recommendations from drinks to food. Will definitely be back again. read more

Really solid food and great drinks. Everything was delicious and will def be back. Beautiful decor.

Everything was perfect from ambience to food to service! We came late for a reservation and called to let them know. The servers were very accommodating especially with a baby! She loved the ice cream. We got the Mexi Sangria, birria tacos, chicken enchiladas (these 2 were smaller portions but great). The chicken mole was amazing and we loved the sauces with the chips. A new favorite restaurant! read more

I'm very disappointed if you are a young minority I warn you do not go unless you like being mistreated. As soon as I walked in I noticed it was almost half empty and they they told us we have to sit at the bar because they don't have room. And the was food okay at best, we expected the food to be amazing considering how expensive it was. And they continue'd sitting all minorities at the bar while seating older folk at the nicely organized tables. read more

Great decor and service from Duey! Send me anywhere with a skillet of cheese and I'll be happy!

Food, drinks, ambiance, and service were great. Eli was especially attentive! Enchiladas and el jefe are highly recommended.

Gustavo, Demi, Jose, Johnny, and Diego. Made my experience at Meximodo impeccable. From the service to the amazing cocktails and dishes. Meximodo is a really the epitome of an authentic Mexican restaurant. If you want to take a step outside of reality, embrace the ambience, and have a great time out. Meximodo is the place to be! read more

The ambiance is fun and exciting. The drinks are delicious and the food is spectacular. The customer service is great for a new location. A great addition to the Metuchen restaurant area. Looking forward to coming back with more family and friends! read more

Take the reviews on here with a grain of salt - they offered my group free dessert if we all left a positive review mentioning our server Michaela. The place isn't bad. Go if you're interested - the food's decent, the drinks are good, and it's Instagrammy if that's your thing. I just don't want the volume of reviews for this location to win your dinner vote, vs. somewhere else in the neighborhood that doesn't solicit them. read more

Food tastes great. Portions are large. Service is good too. The restaurant is next to a parking lot so it is convenient.

They don't open until 4 and seem to require reservations. Decor looks great should be a fun place

Beautiful atmosphere. Great food! Amazing drinks! And our service was beyond amazing with Michaela!!!

Service was impeccable. The place was gorgeous. I feel like the concept of the food was good. I think they tried a little too hard so the flavor lacked in many dishes everything kind of tasted the same. I guess I just had higher expectations because of all the buzz with this place. I'd go again, but it's not high on my priority. read more

ambience is great but food is overpriced and lacks flavor unfortunately. Hope they figure it out very soon because it has potential. My husband's chicken & waffles dish was dry and my corn pancake was ok at best. read more

Took forever to get a reservation, but finally got one. That must mean the place is awesome right? Not really. As everyone has already stated, the restaurant is aesthetically beautiful, but the music is very loud. The acoustics are also bad in the restaurant which causes everyone to have to yell to hear each other, but you cannot hear the waiter when they are speaking. We had 3 people in our party and everyone ordered something different. The meat in each dish was very bland, so adding the salsa from the table is necessary. The only thing that was tasty was the street corn. Anyone who's ever been to Mexico will realize that this place does not serve authentic Mexican food. So disappointed! If you're wondering where all the great reviews come from, we saw the manager walking around, asking people to leave reviews in exchange for a discount off the bill. Unfortunately this restaurant is all show & no go. read more

Apps are scarce and not worth the hype. Entrees are just ok. There is no vibe , but the decor is nice. Overpriced, and not worth the hype. I would not return read more

Jc was a great server, the food was incredible and service was extremely fast. The seating was almost instant and we waited almost no time until we were greeted with water and utensils. Will definitely be coming back read more

Tried this place because it looked beautiful. When we got in there it was a very limited menu with very expensive prices. The food was not anything that looked like a familiar Mexican Restaurant at all. The waiter had to explain what everything was because we never heard of anything like that before. We wound up splitting a salad and it wasn't even good.Not worth the money. Sorry read more

Meximodo is unfitting to the small town Metuchen vibe. They are completely inconsiderate of the people who live in the apartment complex next door with loud music nightly. There are those people who do not like to make waves and complain but are very upset nonetheless. Kids cannot sleep, adults can't watch tv. There are cigarette butts outside. Empty vapes. This is not unlike our small town. What will happen in the summer when families come? Do their kids have to deal with the groups of drunks leaving after all of those shots of tequila? The food is less than average. The people who go are not from town. They are strangers who don't care about our lovely little town. Meximodo, you brought bad vibes... read more

Came here 11/24 Black Friday with my husband and our baby. First off the restaurant is beautiful and the ambiance is amazing. We were seated and ordered our drinks, I ordered the La Catrina and the drink was super small about 3 oz with a huge ice cube. We ordered street corn as an appetizer which came out as soon as the waiter took our order , all the food items came out extremely fast which tells me everything is pre made. For my next drink I orders the meximodo margarita which was a cup of ice literally. For entrees we ordered tacos steak and chicken they were good but the corn tortilla quality was horrible they didn't with stand the filling. My biggest complaint here was that this restaurant isn't family friendly no changing table in the bathroom. Also they offer tequila tasting on the menu when ordered I was told it was only for VIP customers, which the table beside me was able to order but not my table. Why advertise a menu item which is not available to all customers ? I do think it had something to do with race because the table on the opposite side of me (black) where not able to order the tequila flights either. There were more cons then pros I will not be back read more

Food was flavorless, not authentic and over priced. Service was bad but no one was rude. Young inexperienced staff.

the atmosphere and quality of food was great. Shout out to our waiter JC, was extremely personable and got us everything we needed, thank you! read more
