I stopped by MEX in Bloomfield Hills on a Monday night to take advantage of their all-day happy hour margaritas. My first margarita was fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced. But when I ordered a second one, it tasted completely different. I asked about it and was told their margaritas are on draft and they had just switched over. Unfortunately, that means consistency isn’t guaranteed, which was a letdown considering how great the first one was.
I ordered a trio of tacos—shrimp, beef, and chicken—and honestly, they were underwhelming. They weren’t hot, more like room temperature, and gave me the impression they’d been sitting for a bit. Maybe they weren’t, but that’s how they came across.
On the upside, our server was excellent—friendly, attentive, and doing his best—but there’s only so much he can do if the kitchen and bar aren’t on point.
The space is beautiful and unique (it used to be a Big Boy, which is wild), so I’m willing to give it another shot on a different night. Hopefully next time the food and drinks match the vibe.
