It was a really amazing meal. Food, atmosphere, and service was amazing but there were a few things that rubbed my group the wrong way. It was my birthday and they brought me over a cake that I did not order so I figured it would be on the house. It wasn’t they charged me $13. They also rushed us out because they wanted to give our table away and wouldn’t let us wait at our table for our Ubers so we waited outside. Mind you we had 8 people and we were only there for 1:45 mins which their website says a party of 8 individuals would take 2 hours and 30 mins so to rush us out as soon as our bill was paid made me a bit angry after the insane amount of money we spent. Not sure if I’ll be coming back for those reasons.

It took a very long time to get our appetizer after we ordered. We asked for a second round of drinks after the appetizer came, and still had not received them after we were done with the main course. I eventually cancelled the drink order. I got several reminders before our reservation time that we only had a 90 minute window in which to complete the meal. It was unfortunate that the restaurant was unable to deliver two rounds of drinks and a two course meal within that timeframe.

Went to The Mexican for the first time last night. Great take on upscale Mexican cuisine. We enjoyed the speciality cocktails, had an appetizer, salad, 2 entrees, side dish and dessert. Zero complaints with any of it. Service was top notch as well. It was a loud environment due to the popularity of the restaurant I believe, but we will absolutely look forward to going again soon.

Food was great! Love the different varieties of salsa. I also loved that they had a mock tail menu due to the fact that I’m pregnant and can’t drink. I had the lobster enchiladas and they were AMAZING! My husband had the bone marrow tacos and he said they were good. Will come back.

Beautiful location and delicious food as always. Service was SO SLOW though and we ran out of chips right after guacamole was delivered. Didn't see server for 15 minutes and no one else stopped by to check so it was disappointing to wait so long to enjoy our appetizer.

The decor and ambience are outstanding. Such attention to detail -- of colors, light, textures, and patterns. Beautiful. The food was hit or miss. The roasted cauliflower was very good (four stars), but the giant scallops and shrimp were overcooked (and tough) and overwhelmed by the sauce (one star). The asparagus side was just so so (two stars). Beef definitely seems to be The Mexican's strong suit. The steak and beef tacos were outstanding. Cocktails are excellent, too. We were expecting a better dressed and bahaved clientele given the numerous communications from the Mexican about the dress code. Yet, there were loud businessmen in their everyday polo shirts speaking loudly (and cursing) at the next table. Other -- quieter tables -- businessmen (not women) in casual clothing. Only couples and families seemed to abide by the dress code and behavior expected of fine dining. The staff is top notch! Service was excellent.

The best service I have ever experienced in a very long time. The servers were very friendly and professional. They worked as a team and constantly checked on us. My food was great except the shrimp were a little overcooked. I was not wild about the sauces that were served with the chips. It would be nice if they served a fresh mild Pico de Gallo with the chips.

I get y’all want to turn tables and get people in and out, but feeling pushed to get out is very annoying. It’s a Sunday night that’s not busy and the waiter was good, but clearly was told or wanted us to be done in less than an hour. Specially for a special occasion it’s annoying. We were scheduled to come back Wednesday night with others, but we don’t want to do an hour and half dinner. Everything else those was over the top, perfection!!!

Thank you for the kind words. We really appreciate the feedback and we will talk about it with the team. Bottom line though, they should not be rushing you out on a slow night. It does not make any sense to me and I apologize! Again, thank you for your time and feedback.

The Mexican was more than food - it was a whole experience! The vibe of the restaurant was great from the decor, to the staff, to the music. It is definitely a must do when in Dallas. The manager Ashley stopped by to check on our meal and made some great recommendations. She was friendly, warm, and engaging. It’s easy to see why the staff is so great with someone like her in charge. I cannot wait to return. Simply put excellent in every way!

First time experiencing The Mexican. Although service seemed a little slow at times, Andre was a fantastic waiter, and very personable which made up for it. The food was good and the El Rey Margarita was even better. There are other things on the menu that peaked our curiosity, so no doubt we will be back.

The food was ok, but little things messed it up,. Too much lime in the guacamole, oyster fork was noticeably absent and they were heavy on the soy sauce on them too. Who knows where they were from since nobody explained what was what, but oh yeas, they took the time to call and remind me of the dress code. Wine was meh, the bone marrow tacos were not remarkable and could not be differentiated from the chicharrón. Desserts uninspired. Cocktails chips and salsas were great though!
