Mexta offers a dynamic dining experience with "amazing atmosphere" and "excellent service." The ceviche is consistently praised, and the mole dishes are a standout. While some guests find the menu pricing high, the "unique cocktails" and "beautiful ambiance" make it a "great date night" spot. Service can be inconsistent.

    Granted it's downtown AND on Old Dirty 6th I should have tempered my expectations but given the price point you'd think they'd try harder. The service is all over the place and wildly inconsistent. The food, when delivered actually warm, is quite delicious but man is it a gamble on how things are going to come out of their kitchen. The host stand really isn't all that gracious either. They seem more interested in what is going on with their tablet than actually making eye contact with you while checking in. You feel like they're doing you some huge favor to get the privilege to exchange a couple hundred bucks for the most mid meal of your life. I would keep looking elsewhere. There is better food in the same style literally just a couple blocks away.

    Great ambience. Food was OK. Margaritas were over-done. Not the Michelin rated experience I was hoping for.

    Chicken was overcooked and really dry. Guacamole just okay. Certainly not what I was looking forward to. Disappointing.

    The food took over an hour to come out. We had a reservation time and weren’t seated till way after. I don’t recommend.

    I don’t usually leave reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience at Mexta. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning. The food was overpriced and, honestly, it didn’t taste good at all. It just didn’t live up to the cost.
    MextaResponded on April 14, 2025
    Hi Analiza, We're sorry to hear that your experience at Mexta didn't meet your expectations. We strive to provide our guests with exceptional food and service, and it seems we fell short this time. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve. We hope you'll give us another chance in the future to show you the true Mexta experience. Best, Mexta Management Team
