Mexicano

“Mexicano.” Just that. No subtitle, no context, just the name of an entire people slapped on the menu like it’s a menu item. Imagine a restaurant simply called “Jew.” You’d pause for a moment, right? Exactly. The name alone is a bit… bold. Now, the irony is that this place is a kosher restaurant attempting Mexican food, while also wandering off into Mediterranean territory… shawarma, tahini, baba ganoush, the whole caravan. I’m not opposed to culinary fusion, but this felt less like fusion and more like someone spinning a globe and pointing at random cuisines. But the real offense wasn’t philosophical. It was biological. The meat was so undercooked that I briefly wondered if the cow might still qualify for veterinary care. Calling it “rare” would be generous. Calling it “raw” would be accurate. In fact, it was so raw that I had to take the leftovers home and finish cooking them myself like some sort of involuntary sous-chef. Seriously? Let me be clear: I know Mexicans can cook. Spectacularly well, in fact. Which makes this whole situation even more baffling. If you’re going to name your restaurant after an entire cuisine and culture, the least you could do is cook the meat past the stage where it still remembers the pasture. I’m honestly surprised the local health inspector hasn’t stopped by out of simple curiosity. Look, I’m not asking for perfection. I’m asking for effort. If you’re going to plant the flag of “Mexicano” on your restaurant, at least make an attempt to honor it and preferably with food that doesn’t require customers to go home and finish the cooking themselves. Try harder. Be proud to serve good food … or at least cooked food.

Highly recommend this restaurant! The food is of the highest quality the salads are very fresh and it looks very very clean, I had a meeting with a partner who came from out of town and it was very pleasant to sit with him in the restaurant and talk it was not too noisy plenty of parking we did not wait at all for a table even though there were a lot of people in the restaurant we were seated immediately and the food came relatively quickly thank you very much for the amazing service! Highly recommend

I ordered some food for pickup today for my family. When I got home I realized that one of the items was forgotten. When I reached out to the restaurant the owner apologized and offered to bring it to my home himself. Exceptional service! When he made the delivery he apologized and said that things were a bit hectic as part of the restaurant was under construction. Good was fantastic as well extremely satisfied!
