Their margaritas are very tasty! I would call them slightly sweet, but they have good flavor. My food was tasty, though they did technically mix up my order (I ordered shrimp fajitas and received shrimp and chicken) but I didn't mind and didn't mention it. The server was very friendly and helpful. It was a beautiful day, so we sat outside on their patio, which was perfect. read more

See all

Food was exceptional I chose Chili Rellenos and they didn't disappoint They served $1.00 Margaritas between 5pm and 6pm which we got to enjoy as a nice surprise The ambiance was muted and relaxing We would recommend coming here for the food and relaxing atmosphere We will again read more

Great food fantastic servers Sheila is the best on Fridays. Hector is very nice owner. read more

Super excited that they got up and running after experiencing a fire in the kitchen. Restaurant upgrades look good. Comfortable dining and bar. The Molcajete is the absolute best I've had so far, and I have tried many. The service has also been very nice and friendly. Never had any complaints. Definitely recommend. read more

A "can't miss" on most every menu item!! Good service and comfy atmosphere go hand n hand.

Food is excellent. But way overpriced. I can't afford to eat there that much. It's not like we ordered steaks. You get a small bag of chips and a little container of salsa with 4 meals. But if you pay for a large chips and salsa they don't give you the small one that you should still get. But they don't tell you that until you complain. read more

Great food, the best Margaritas in surrounding towns. Love the servers. Some have been working there as long as I've been going there, 30 years. read more

Wow! Great portion fresh and a wide variety on their menu. Salsa is a killer! Almost like visiting Mexico but it's in Granite City read more

Si Senor Mex Mex Grill - I get this all the time I go in this amazing Mexican restaurant lol - Mexican Near Me - Granite City, Illinois

The prices are decent but the workers are awful. Almost every time I went there I have had an ordering issue. They have 2 different types of liquid cheese one with jalapeños and one without. I would say every other visit I would get the wrong cheese. I'm not into jalapeños cheese and boy was I surprised by my mouth being on fire with my cheese without jalapeños. The last time I was there I had a waitress who couldn't get me a chicken quesdilla with fries. She came back with a taco salad. I had to return my food multiple times until the owner had to come over to get my food order. While waiting an egregious amount of time (there was only 1 other table) we got to watch the owner and our waitress argue in front of us. read more

Great restaurant, very courteous staff, very good food, great prices, overall great place to eat!

Came here for the first time on a Friday night. It was not very busy so could be why, but service was quick! Our food was hot and very good! Margaritas were also great. Big fan of the salsa here as well. I definitely don't understand all the bad reviews. read more

I would give this place zero stars if I could. I placed an online order today for $38 worth of food. I never got a confirmation email, so I called the restaurant to confirm my order. I was told they had turned off online ordering and the order had been cancelled and my card would not be charged. I checked and the charge was on my credit card, so I called to ask for a refund. I spoke to the Manager (didn't give me his name) who proceeded to tell me there is nothing he can do. He then informed me that he was very busy and did not have time to deal with it. I asked him if this meant I was out the $38 and he responded "NO! Can you not understand me or something?!? I told you to call this other guy" he proceeded to give me a phone number to call in order to get my refund then once again reiterated how busy he was and that he did not have time to handle this. Luckily the guy I called after this was very pleasant and was able to easily refund me my money. I will not be returning to this location again due to the way I was spoken to by the Manager and his complete disregard of my concerns. read more

Best name for a Mexican restaurant ever? I think yes. Some friends and I went here on a Sunday night. The decoration is fantastically cheesy. There were both Mardi Gras AND St. Patrick's Day Budweiser posters all over the place ... in mid May. The tables had tablecloths covered in a mish-mash of every stereotypically Mexican image and phrase imaginable (tequila, "Arriba!," sombreros, you get the idea). It's absurd but in a wonderful way. We were informed as soon as we sat down that they have 1$ margaritas on Sunday. Dollar margaritas? Yes please! And good thing too, because I don't think I'd want to spend more that 1$ on these margaritas. They're easily some of the worst margaritas I've had in a restaurant. But at 1$ each, I'm not complaining! As for the food, well, it's hit or miss. I ordered a combination plate (one of the best things about this kind of Mexican restaurant) with a beef burrito, a chicken enchilada, and a pork tamale. The burrito was easily the best of the three and that's not saying much. My friends ordered fajitas and those were much better. You get an impressive amount of food with these, and everything was really tasty. Si Senor Mex Mex Grill may not have the best Mexican food in the world, or the best drinks, or the best service. But it does have a certain charm that I enjoyed. Also 1$ margaritas. Did I mention those? read more

I'm going to go on record and say this is the best Mexican you will eat in GC. Chips and salsa can be mild or spicy. Got a preference? Ask your waiter or waitress. Rice is fluffy and melts in your mouth. Everything on the menu is good, piping hot, and comes out in large portions. I'll be honest, there's been a couple of days were the food hasn't been up to par. However, with the owner being there nearly everyday...speak up if your dish isn't what you expect. He will be glad to make it right. Prices are about right for quality Mexican food. Oh and they have awesome drink specials, even around lunch time! read more

Despite the hillarious gringo name, this place actually isn't too bad. We're pretty sure the restaurant is built in a converted Pizza Hut, but inside the corny Mexican decor gave Si Senor Mex Mex Grill a cozy feel. When we first got there, we were pleasantly surprised by the warm homemade chips, and tasty salsa. Given how many nicer Mexican restaurants can't figure out how to provide good chips and salsa, this was a big plus. On the flip side, the margarita I ordered was pretty bad (much too sweet), but for $4.00 I didn't care too much. Beer was also pretty cheap as well, $1 for Bud Light Lime on the day we were there. The tamales I ordered came slathered in some sort of meat sauce; not authentic by any sense of the word, but still pretty tasty. My friend's meals were similarly good. Honestly I was tempted to give the place a three start rating, but the cheap booze put it over the edge. read more

Beef was very tough. Tomatoes were non existent. Chips were crisp and salsa was good. Don't think I'll be back.

Service was good. I had the Carne Asada and it was tender and had great flavor. They also had a gentleman playing his guitar and singing. He was very entertaining with an awesome voice. Mexican ballads. read more

Si Senor Mex Mex Grill - Patio weather. - Mexican Near Me - Granite City, Illinois

Don't believe everything you read on here about bad food. I've eaten here over 10x's and this place is legit! The food is excellent and the service has always been good. The best chori pollo I've had! I have no idea what some of the others on here are talking about. Take a chance because it's worth it! read more

Ordered Fajitas nachos, she delivered my plate to the wrong table, after sitting my plate on the wrong table for 5 mins she finally delivered it to my table...It was burnt to a crisp, and smelled like dirty feet!!!! Waitress was very rude when I told her that I would not be eating it. She took my plate away then refused to come back to the table to refill drinks..... Would not recommend this place!! #gc4l read more

This was the worst serviceI have ever experienced. The server didn't even care. It looked as if it was his first day and had absolutely no training. We had a party of 7 for a birthday celebration and was sitting on the patio. Took a minute to get some drinks and then even longer to get a menu. Chips and salsa would have been nice if we actually could have some salsa. Such small ramekins and never full. We were there for an hour and 15 minutes before we even got food. Then - it was a 25 minute time span from the time the first person to the last person got their food. Not to mention that two orders were wrong and never got tortillas for the fajitas until it was time to go. I went into talk to the manager and he asked me what I wanted him to do about it?!?!!! Are you kidding me? Finally a nice young lady came over to try to help us. The manager yelled at HER for trying to help. To top it all off - we were there for 2.5 hours for a horrible experience and didn't even bother to apologize or take anything off the bill. Do not go here! We actually tipped the nice young lady (I believe Maria was her name) and not our server. read more

The most absolute worse service and food. Came to have a family and Birthday dinner. Couldn't remember our orders brought wrong food and took 1.5 hours. Will never be back again read more

I've been coming here since they opened, but not anymore. Everytime we come the food tastes different/comes with different things. When I order carry out the kitchen forgets stuff ex. Sauce on enchiladas and the food is cold. Even when the owner is boxing the food up as I'm standing there. read more

The food is great. The service is always great. However, this is the last time we'll ever come here. If you advertise a certain type of special (in this case, draft beer) don't get nit picky about whether it's domestic or not. Your special does not specify that, so you come off real disingenuous when you decide that it's not part of the special, and instead charge over twice the price than what's advertised. It's your loss though, we were regular long time customers. See this: http://i.imgur.com/Njgs5ZR.jpg where does it specify domestic only on Thursday? read more

Si señor is about a once a month stop for us as it is open until 10pm and has decent cheap drink nights. Food isn't bad, much better than the other Mexican place in the town. Go for the shrimp soup, it is always consistent. The spicy shrimp Diablo used to be a favorite, but lately is too hot to eat. Don't go in expecting too much and u won't be disappointed. But still not bad. read more

This is one of the only places in GC I like to go out to eat at. The food is great, and the service is good too. They have several vegetarian options, which I truly appreciate. They usually have a packed house, but manage to seat you quickly and get your food out in a timely manner. My husband and I take friends here all the time and they've all loved it! read more

The food isn't awful but is fairly tasteless. The service was bad every time we went. We were often ignored by wait staff while dining and one time, we were kept waiting an incredibly long time to be seated while several servers avoided eye contact with us so we left. Will not go back. read more

Probably the best Mexican food that I've had in ages. I've gotten the mole from there and it's amazing, flavorful and spicy and my girlfriend has gotten their chicken quesadilla and we were extremely impressed. Their salsa and chips are pretty good too, there are a ton of tequilas offered at their bar and their prices are very good. Their atmosphere does leave a bit to be desired as the place is made from a former Pizza Hut, but I didn't really care. I can't recommend this place enough, very highly recommended! read more

The waiter was the best ever! Today was my first time every coming and I wanted to try something new for my birthday. The waiter offered me either a shot or fried ice-cream for my birthday. The bosses gave him such a hard time that this sweet soul offered to pay for the items out of pocket. I told him that I was full and did not want the ice-cream. My first and last time every coming to this place. Way to treat a new customer. It wasn't about getting anything for free because I have money would have been just as happy if they sang Happy Birthday! I guess my husband and I didn't have the right color skin. I know you're wondering how I knew what was going on behind the scene, the boss was so unprofessional I was able to hear and witness the whole thing. Guess it's good for them that I'm not a food critic or journalist or am I? read more

Bad service - slow is one thing, but our waiter last night was flat out rude when we ordered and then continued to ignore us once the food was brought out. As soon as he laid the check down he took our drink glasses and we never saw him again. I suppose it was a good thing we weren't planning on sitting there any longer enjoying chips and visiting. read more

The head cook left here. Since that the food has no taste. Cheap food, so I guess thats expected.

Visited tonight for dinner, Chimichanga had no taste and was 6 bites with a price of over $10. My refried beans tasted like soap. We have visited this place many times and really have enjoyed the company of some of the servers but the Owner is very unfriendly to us as many times as he has seen us. He is friendly only to those that sit and drink multiple large mugs of beer. My husband's burrito had a few pieces of steak wrapped in a tortilla. We have been very disappointed our last three visits. Sorry but tonight was our last visit. My husband left hungry and the service wasn't good. read more

This is the worst Mexican food I have ever eaten. It had no flavor and so bland. I couldn't believe a Mexican restaurant could serve food like that. I will never go back. read more
