Menu can be confusing. Apparently if you get crunchy tacos, you don't automatically get cilantro or onions. Who knew?! ?Salsa is really mild or too spicy. I'm looking for flavor. So I mixed them. Was ok.Counter guy was super friendly and tried to be helpful.I'll go again. Be more specific in my ordering. Oh! Carnitas super moist ?
First off I am a regular Great Mex customer and have always loved it. This particular location however is awful. Service is slow, tortillas have always been dry and meat overcooked. Service is slow and the salsa is not good. I'd recommend skipping this location all together. The location located off Wilson drive is way better.
Been coming here for lunch pretty regularly for almost seven years. It’s always delicious and the staff are friendly. The shaded patio is a lovely place to eat and relax on our plentiful sunny days.My go-to for family style Mexican food, and I bring clients and family when I can. Great Mex indeed!
Great local Costa mesa mexi restaurantHad a breakfast burritoService was exceptionalFlavor was kinda bland
Food pretty good, affordable and usually great service...Went there this past Saturday and waited an extra 20 minutes for my torta. I ordered over the phone and was told that it would be 10 minutes. I was almost late to work. Torta was good tho.Just tried to go to Great Mex once again and figured Saturday was an off day for the staff. I walked in and the cashier, who saw me and mind you the place was empty at the time, decided to go wipe down patio tables instead. The two cooks in the back made eye contact and carried on with whatever they were doing. Waited a bit and no one bothered to acknowledge me. I did not feel like possibly waiting another half hour as I did on Saturday.I really want to continue to like and patronize Great Mex but meh... sorry GM.Took this visit as a sign to check out Taco Madre around the corner.Changed review to 2 stars from 5.
I had some nachos that were pretty good because this place is convieniently located in my vet's shopping center.
order huevos rancheros the eggs were perfect the rice was very good the beans were terrible they're almost cold not even the warm.the shrimp cocktail was very good except they forgot to put it on a plate to hold the cup so you had to set your crackers on the table. had ask server for plate to set cocktail glass on.
From the years of 2016-2019 i ate here frequently with my old high school buddies! Id always get the california burrito! If your looking for nice mexican food spot this is the place!
Its a really quaint and nice Mexican place. When I went there I did their mega burrito food challenge. It was a fun challenge and the food was good. It wasn't anything super special but it's definitely worth a visit.
We love Taco Tuesday on Fridays!
