    Great Mex Grill has one of best breakfasts around and it’s very reasonably priced for what you get. I can’t recommend them enough.

    The food is very good and the prices are great! It's about 10.00 for whatever your ordering per meal. I would totally recommend this place. It's a super small location, so it's better to order ahead and pick it up!

    This is such a lovely breakfast, lunch or dinner choice. Everyone working there is incredibly kind and efficient and all of the food I have had has always been delicious. They have daily specials with my favorites being Tuesday's (taco tuesday) and Wednesday's (enchiladas verdes). Parking for dine in is hard sometimes, with their shared lot, but street parking is an option too. I highly recommend this place if you want some yummy food!

    Very friendly staff. Food was okay. I had the carne asada nachos (generous portion). Meat was diced into pieces smaller than I've had it served at other Mexican "taco shops". People I was with had the daily special and felt it was a good value.

    The only reason why I go here is because the foods pretty good and it's close to my home the service could be a little bit better The girl didn't speak English at the register so she couldn't take our order which makes no sense to get someone whos not bi Language And then another time I went there and I tried to order and the guy was on the phone for about 8 minutes which was really rude so i had to waite for his Conversation to be over with his personal friend but like I said I'll go back there food's good But service could be better

    Visited the Great Mex / Mesa verde location for Taco Tuesday. Tacos were great, service outstanding from all workers and definitely a cozy spot to enjoy drinks.

    We came here about a year and a half ago while we were down here partying and loved it so since we were back in town had to check it out again.yummmmy

    Great Mex had the California burritos I was looking for with my fiancé! The service was amazing, fast, and the menu looked very expensive. I want to go back soon!

    Look, I just wandered in here for a measly little breakfast burrito. Little did I know I had stumbled upon the best restaurant in all of California. The food, absolutely scrumptious. The service, of the gods. This place is just chefs kiss.

    The food is GREAT! We love Taco Tuesday and Friday! Their Taquitos (Beef). Are just like my Grandma used to make!

  • 3/5 Mr.E 1 year ago on Google
    This is some of the most mediocre Mexican food that I've had in the area. It's been several years since the last time I visited, at which point I thought it was pretty good. So I brought someone about 45 minutes before they close so that we could both eat dinner. Here. The food was pretty gross and I can't see a reason why I would return. I had the California burrito. Not sure how that goes so poorly and a flautas. The flautas were poor quality and extremely dry and flavorless. I couldn't finish it it was so bad and it wasn't that cheap. My friend also had a dish they weren't impressed with and we left there feeling disappointed. We got the sense. They weren't pleased that we were there so close to their closing. Although we left after only about 20 minutes so there was still roughly a half hour before they were even supposed to close. So maybe that was the reason for the poor food. Maybe they were taking their frustration out on our meal? I don't know either way. Can't see a reason to go back.

    It was my first time here, definitely coming back, excellent service, clean establishment, professional staff. Betty was the highlight of my day 🫶🏻 Andres & bidal for absolutely hustling in the back it was very busy today

  • 5/5 Rick “Dj R.E.N” Rigor J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great quality and flavor mexican food. And not sure on the spelling but the bunuelito's chip are the bomb! The best! ESPECIALLY when normally you can only get "bunuelo's" at Christmas time. Did I mention ONLY AT X-MAS. NOW you can have them all year round!! I go for the chips only sometimes. Don't tell anybody that I do, please. LOL...

    Carne asada quesadilla plus free chips and salsa bar on the side, how could you go wrong? Even the French fries were good. Everything came fresh and hot!!

  • 4/5 Jay M. 6 years ago on Google
    Awesome Mexican food and very friendly staff. Love all of the salsa and sauces that they have available. I usually get 3 Mexican tacos and I’ll get free tortilla chips.

  • 5/5 David C. 1 year ago on Google
    This place rocks. The staff is great and the food is better. I recommend the fish tacos.

  • 5/5 Joe L. 2 years ago on Google
    I love Great Mex. The food is definitely above average and the service is always exceptional. The people there are always seem to enjoy their job and are always very nice. Plus they always give you free chips. Definitely one of my go-to's

    Been eating here since their first location and the original owners! Great food, affordable, and helpful staff. Taco Tuesday is the best day.
