Great Mex: Your Go-To for Delicious and Affordable Mexican Food! Great Mex has become a staple in our local dining scene, and for good reason! They consistently deliver fresh, flavorful Mexican cuisine that satisfies cravings without breaking the bank. But what truly sets them apart are their fantastic weekly specials, making them an absolute must-visit throughout the week. Taco Tuesdays and Fiesta Fridays are a Steal! If you're a taco lover, mark your calendars! Great Mex offers incredible deals on Tuesdays and Fridays. Whether you prefer crispy or soft shells, filled with your favorite protein like seasoned ground beef, tender chicken, or savory carnitas, their taco deals are simply unbeatable. It's the perfect excuse to gather friends or family for a casual and delicious meal. The tacos are always packed with fresh toppings, and their salsa choices offers a great variety of options to customize your perfect bite – from mild and tangy to fiery and bold. Don't Miss Enchilada Wednesdays! Just when you thought the week couldn't get any better, Great Mex rolls out their enchilada meal deal on Wednesdays. These aren't your average enchiladas; they're generously filled, smothered in flavorful sauce (choose from classic red, tangy green, or creamy sour cream), and served with rice and beans. It's a hearty and comforting meal that's perfect for a midweek pick-me-up. The enchiladas are always cooked to perfection, with the cheese melted just right and the fillings bursting with authentic Mexican flavors. Beyond the amazing weekly specials, Great Mex offers a solid menu of other Mexican favorites. From flavorful burritos and satisfying bowls to fresh salads and tasty appetizers like their loaded nachos and creamy guacamole, there's something for everyone. The quality of their ingredients is always noticeable, and the service is consistently friendly and efficient. Whether you're looking for a budget-friendly Taco Tuesday or Friday feast, a comforting Enchilada Wednesday meal, or simply a reliable spot for delicious Mexican food any day of the week, Great Mex is a fantastic choice. Their commitment to quality and value makes them a true gem in our community. Highly recommended! In summary: * Taco Tuesdays & Fiesta Fridays: Fantastic deals on a variety of delicious tacos. * Enchilada Wednesdays: Hearty and flavorful enchilada meal deals with rice and beans. * Consistent Quality: Fresh ingredients and flavorful dishes across the menu. * Friendly Service: Expect a welcoming and efficient dining experience. * Great Value: Excellent food at affordable prices, especially with their weekly specials. Go check out Great Mex – your taste buds (and your wallet) will thank you

I honestly cannot say enough good things about this Mexican restaurant. We stumbled upon this beautiful place while visiting Balboa Island in Newport Beach. From the minute, we walked to the door we felt welcomed! The chips and salsa that come with your order are amazing. I absolutely love tamales and their tamales are the best I’ve ever tasted in my life. My daughter says her burger is definitely a 10 out of 10. My husband, shrimp tacos were also amazing. They have bottled Mexican Coke, which is a favorite of mine. Don’t let this place pass you by. It is a Mexican food paradise.

Ima get straight to the point, the food was fantastic! It’s a very small restaurant but that shouldn’t matter if the food is really good which it was! I got the chance to speak with Veronica And she was awesome very helpful and very nice and gave me a side of chips and salsa on the house which was perfect with the food and I got a beer and a taco and it did not disappoint! They also have a restroom in the back too! Definitely recommend to try out the food and I’ll be back to try more! Btw the inside is very decorative and chill as well, highly enjoyed everything

It sucks for me to say this, because I have loved this place for quite some time. The food tastes great. Got Salmonella food poisoning here though, about a week ago, and it took a week, admitted to a hospital for some of that time to get better; worst experience of my life. I didn't want to believe that it was this place, but I know it is. My roommate and I both got just as sick, at the same time, only having eaten this in common. The other small meals I had the two days prior to symptoms were made at home and eaten by multiple people (none of who got sick). The sickness was caused by food... this food. Sucks, because I thought I could trust the quality...
