Generous portions and pretty tasty and ! It doesn't hurt that it's only a 5 minute drive to satiate our hunger

I ordered through Yelp and got a veggie fajita burrito and a soda. The burrito was delicious, and the chips and salsa that came with it were fantastic! I loved all 3 of their salsas.
I also loved that they had fountain soda and not just a can of soda. Does anyone think the taste of a soda at a restaurant is better than from a can?! One thing I miss about dining in.
Ordered it a second time and it wasn't as good, but I'm only reviewing for my initial visit. Definitely will try them a third time!Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - George B.Huntington Beach, United States425810Nov 24, 2023Updated review
This place is FABULOUS. Tiny yes, but they operate like total professionals. Can I nominate them for a Michelin star? Yes!

Today, I picked up catering for 25 people. Great Mex is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants, so I wanted to see how they would do with catering an event.
Everything was delicious! The order was well packed for easy transport which made it super easy to pick up and set up for serving.
The pricing is very fair for large groups.
I will definitely use them again for large group catering!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Jul 27, 2019Previous reviewI eat at Great Mex Grill, usually on Taco Tuesday's. I love their crunchy chicken taco and their mexican rice.
I used them this week to cater a 30 person event - a variety of tacos (including mushroom for the vegetarians), beans, rice, salsa and chips. The food was packaged very well for transport.
Everyone loved their tacos, especially the vegetarians!
Thank you so much, Great Mex! - Denise T.Long Beach, United States0131Nov 28, 2023Updated review
The BEST. Eat there almost every week at least. The salsa and chips are enough alone.

Jun 9, 2023Previous reviewI had a late night and needed food desperately. I know this place has delicious Mexican food and opens early. So I ordered my favorite breakfast, lluevos rancheros, and decided to get pancakes too. OMG!! The pancakes were so delicious and fluffy. I've been so disappointed with the pancakes at the other breakfast cafes. I've decided to make this my go to breakfast place!!

My order arrived super fast. I've ordered 25 burritos and it only takes 45 mins to be readyHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - HELLEN C.Los Angeles, United States015Feb 23, 2023
I really like this place. It is one of those blink, and you'll miss, type of hole in the wall. I love their Taco Tuesday and Friday specials. I live for those grilled shrimp, soft tortilla tacos with their roasted salsa. Unpretentious, and small location. I have ordered catering breakfast burritos for some meetings, and I so appreciate their morning staff for packaging them and adding the additional salsas. Our staff love it and their slim which are egg whites, with mushroom and spinach are so delicious. A shout out to Andrea working the morning shift, for always being so patient with my orders.

Excellent fast service and good food vegetarian tamale, they are a tamale factory, it's small but if you order to go or seat outside it's all worth it.

Usually love this place for their great food. Such a disappointment to see that they hardly gave us any chips for two orders.
It will be a while before we go again as there are many Mexican places near us who are not as skimpy with their chips.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1 - Adam S.San Carlos, United States134Sep 6, 2022
This should be a 5 star review. This place has great salsa, really delicious enchiladas, and amazing breaded fish tacos. Their chicken burritos are great, too.
But the reason it's just 4 stars is because they used to have this amazing spicy ground beef and my boys loved to get the spicy ground beef tacos. But they recently changed the recipe so that now the "spicy" ground beef is not spicy at all, in fact it's bland. We still go here but not as much, because that spicy ground beef was the reason we kept coming back regularly. When I ask them why they changed the recipe, they don't really give me a straight answer. It's a mystery, and it makes me sad.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
