    Great service, great atmosphere, great drinks! We ordered the ceviche, guacamole, mole Filet, and Salmon. All the food was good and cooked to the right temperature. I really liked the ceviche. I feel like it was a little over priced, but it was a great experience. The staff was really attentive and that is hard to find at restaurants these days. I would go back.

    The food was very delicious, but somewhat overpriced and under-salted. The service could have been better - we asked for the red snapper ceviche, but our waiter brought us the red snapper entrée and charged us for it without correcting the mistake. Overall the experience was good, but disappointing service.

    Went to Mexta for happy hour and ordered mezcalrita clasicas, all the antojitos, and finished off with the carajillo cocktail. The red snapper ceviche and salmon tostada were delicious, and the porcelet taco was awesome. There wasn’t a single miss.

    The food and service were fabulous. It was a bit loud and difficult to hear my companion at during dinner.

    Beautiful design, great cocktails and absolutely delicious food - the snapper was very good and the mole on the steak is killer!

    I had a really disappointing experience at Mexta. I made a reservation two weeks in advance for 3:00 PM because that was the only available time. Three days before, they changed it to 2:45 without asking me—fine, not a big deal. But when we arrived, they told us we had to order by 3:00 because the kitchen was closing. By 3:45, I tried to order another drink, and they said the bar was closed. Then, they told us we had to leave because they were closing to prepare for dinner service. At no point during booking did anyone mention that we’d have a limited time to eat or that they’d be shutting everything down so quickly. When I spoke to the waitress and the manager about feeling rushed, the manager just shrugged and said, “That’s our policy.” No apology, no attempt to make it right. On top of that, the food was mediocre—not worth the hassle. Definitely won’t be coming back
