Mexican Republic is such an amazing place to grab yourself a bit to eat, drink and share laughter with your friends. This super colorful restaurant draws you in for drinks and keeps you there for the food. The staff does a great job serving the customers and making sure they're satisfied and pleased.
My friend and I came here for brunch on a Sunday afternoon and upon entering we were only one of two tables in this incredibly large place. There's a full bar when you first enter. So in the event you come for the drinks only, there's a spot just for you! Our server made sure my friend and her daughter was comfortable by bringing up coloring sheets, Hugh chairs, waters and juices before we could even ask! That's the definition of customer service.
We are the scorpion drink and the margarita flight. The flight is decently sized and the flavors are popping. Please note, they don't have fresh juices but the juices used are super concentrated. All of the drinks were crafted perfectly and hit the spot.
For food, we ordered a 3 shrimp taco meal, breakfast enchiladas, the steak rancheros, order of the empanadas, ceviche and guacamole.
They brought out all appetizers first before the food and gave us ample time to eat and enjoy before rushing more food to the table. The decently sized pork filled empanadas were delicious; not enough to fill you but you finish wanting more. The ceviche was fresh and had an adequate amount of shrimp in it. The guac was done correctly and was made fresh by the taste of it.
We just knew The entrees were going to be amazing following the appetizers prior and the kitchen did not disappoint us. My steak was cooked perfectly. Tip if you select the steak rancheros dish, they have a tomato onion sauce that comes with. I chose to have it on the side and that was a good choice. The tomato sauce tasted like tomato soup and it was a no for me. I felt like it would've ruined the meal as it didn't mesh well with the other ingredients on the plate.
I've seen others reviews regarding the size of the tacos and the filling. Fortunately for us we didn't experience that. Our tacos were big and filled to perfection. They didn't cheat us with that. I will say the tacos per each is a bit on the pricey side starting at $3.75+ per taco.
I definitely recommend this restaurant for all events and functions and group sizes. This could be an intimate setting or time to catch up with your friends. I'll be returning to try other drinks and food options.
