Super Mex — Restaurant in Irvine

EXCELLENT FOOD! Excellent SERVICE! The first time I ordered was with Grub Hub—I got cocido—delicious! Quickly, that became my “go-to” meal, working long hours, getting food delivered. Well, finally came to the restaurant! I forgot my first service name, but he was really great. Now, the last several times I have been to the restaurant Juan Prado has serviced me. WOW, he treats me like VIP, refills on salsa, fresh chips—even without asking—he just sees empty salsa and no more chips: “refill” hot chips, salsa. Really adds that special touch of customer service. The food promptly served and it’s always good. Even when I’m finished eating and ask for to-go container, he always reminds me: no rush. Truly, this restaurant has become one of my favs when I want good comfort food and don’t want to be rushed! Thank you for top notch service! Juan Prodo is an asset to your restaurant. When people come to eat, they are not just wanting good food—the excellent service, the ambiance, it’s the experience—and Juan definitely creates that...

I read the reviews before we went and they were pretty good. We were meeting me niece and her family that I had not seen in years. We got there at 5:30, it was busy but it’s a small place. We were able to get seated right away. It took about 15 minutes then we were finally brought water. A few minutes later they brought their tortillas and salsa and we ordered. An hour later we still did not have our good, tortillas had been gone so I asked a waiter how much longer. He said a few minutes. Another 15 minutes I asked for a manager. Our waiter came out, not sure if he was the manager but I politely explained we’d been waiting over an hour, the kids were hungry how much longer. He replied “ I told you just a few minutes, we are busy” my elderly father replied ok if it’s more then a few minutes we are leaving to which he replied, it’s ok, you can leave. We of course walked out after sitting there over an hour and a half. I get places get busy but it was his terrible customer service that caused...

I've been going to Super Mex for years and it is still one of my favorite places to go for authentic Mexican food. It is not one of those fancy boutique type restaurants and they serve up quality food at good prices. If you order one of their meals, you will not leave hungry.

Meals always start with an endless supply of crispy fried corn tortillas and the perfect blend of salsa. Be careful because its so addicting that you can easily fill up before your meal is served. This is the perfect time to enjoy your favorite drink.

The favorites here, are just about any burrito on the menu. I've tried most of them and they are all good. The Super Mex Burrito is especially good, and comes with your choice of meat. It is a very big burrito and about half of it usually comes home with me in a box. The combination plates are great if you want to try a mix of entrees. I love the enchiladas and crispy tacos.

Service at Super Mex is typically great and the staff is nice...
