Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

MXO by Wes Avila offers a vibrant atmosphere with "amazing food and service." Standout dishes include the sweet potato taquitos, beef rib, and "incredible" chicharrones. While praised for its "authentic Mexican flavors" and inventive cocktails, service can be inconsistent. The restaurant's chic design and attentive staff make it a "10/10" experience for many, though some note it can be pricey.

Second time dining there in the past month and both times I was amazed by the food and had great service. The sweet potato taquitos and Cesar salad were outstanding. The tender beef rib was perfect. And I appreciated the server bringing me a choco taco for dessert even though it’s only offered on Tuesday apparently. 10/10 restaurant. Will definitely be back soon.

I was excited to try this restaurant for my birthday dinner but unfortunately I didn’t have the best experience. We had a later reservation and it seemed like we were being rushed out. Our server seemed like she was over it and was ready to clock out from the moment she came to our table. The food was good but based on the service I wouldn’t go back or recommend this place.

I dined here once before and thought this would become a regular dinner spot but unfortunately this restaurant decided to cancel my second reservation within a couple of hours of when I was supposed to dine in and caused my family and I major inconveniences. No notice whatsoever. I will not be returning to this unprofessional restaurant.

We had an incredible experience at MXO! The food and drinks were absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was just as impressive. Our server was incredibly sweet and attentive—she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. We truly felt taken care of. Can’t wait to come back!
