The atmosphere at MeXo was very warming. Between the art on the walls, the personalities of the staff, and the very Impressive food, I can comfortably say this is my favorite upscale Mexican food in Grand Rapids. We had the dos salsas (consisting of a pastor salsa and a molcajete crushed salsa), the MeXo classic guacamole (the pepitas on top were an amazing crunchy addition), and the deconstructed Al pastor tacos. The Al pastor was the best I've had in the states so far. If you end up in the area, I highly suggest you pop in for a bite or ten. Top notch. Instagram: @funas_eats_it

MeXo is really the only restaurant you need to eat at in GR. Chef Oscar’s fish tacos are to die for. The brunch is amazing. Love sitting at the bar.

Great place for a date night! Our server was so sweet and gave us great recommendations. We ordered the salsa starter, enchiladas Rojas, and Oscar’s Baja tacos. Drinks were super good too, definitely loved the mezcal marg. Sooo yummy definitely going back!

Went to Mexo tonight for only the second time ever. My first trip was it's opening week years ago, and the service was a little rough, and never thought much about going back. However, after seeing so many positive reviews recently, I figured it was worth another shot, and boy was I glad I did. First, the drinks weren't sugar bombs. I enjoy a good cocktail, but so many places make drinks that taste like desserts. These were balanced and tasty. My taste buds weren't dead after the first one. Strong start. After that, everything was, in a word, beautiful. The food is visually stunning. Portion sizes aren't huge, which I'm fine with, but the flavors matched the visuals. Layers of flavor and texture that made every bite interesting. Sad I slept on this place, but I'll definitely be back.

So I can't handle spice and what I ordered was too spicy. So our waiter went above and beyond trying to help me. Nick our waiter brought me 3 different sauces to try and they were going to remake my food with any of the sauces if I could handle them. They were so nice! My boyfriend steak was perfect! And the queso appetizer we got was amazing! I would definitely recommend and plan to go back!

This place is amazing. First and foremost the food is amazing it is pleated perfectly it is presented perfectly. The chef's and the sous chefs are good at the jobs the bartenders are very good at their jobs too. Whether it is food or drinks that you like the do the drinks and food perfectly and it's something you cannot get anywhere else. -A Missourian.

Food was great. Was able to get seated without reservation but definitely recommend getting reservation beforehand as it is a small place. Our service was a little slow. We were seated at our table for over an hour before we got our food. Cocktails from the bar took awhile to be made as well. There was a large party in back that would walk to bar to get drinks which slowed down our service. It took about 20 minutes to get our cocktail and a cola. The only dish I wouldn’t recommend was the seafood soup as it was very salty (and this is coming from someone who loves salt). The fish tacos were very good
