First, I have to comment on the interior decor. The tables and chairs are all hand carved and painted Mexican motifs the likes of which I have never seen before. Absolutely unique and beautiful - I hated to sit on it. To these they added some traditional Mexican fiesta materials which added still more to the ambiance, but those tables and chairs are just phenomenal.OK... so let's talk food. That's what we come for, after all. As nice as the decor is, it wouldn't matter if the food was crummy. In fact, I worried that all the effort was put into the decorations, and the food might be horrible. BUT NO! The food is ALSO outstanding!!Really flavorful, really authentic, and a huge menu from which to choose. The standard dishes are not so hot that non-Mexicans will suffer, but I'm sure you can ask to raise the heat level if you wish. For me, they were perfect. And what was especially impressive is the freshness of taste.You know how Mexican food can sometime taste "stale" because if includes a lot of ground and shredded meat? Do that too far ahead, and it all tastes like something scraped out of a garbage pail. Well, NOT HERE. The fresh tastes Garcia puts on the plate is just amazing.Prices are very reasonable, and portions are large. I'm sure we over-ordered because it tasted so good, with the result that we had several boxes of leftover to carry home.Serivce was fine, too. really, there is just nothing to complain about.This is most definitely the best Mexican restaurant for many miles around. In my opinion, second best is way over in Tallahassee.

My wife and I ate here on a Wednesday afternoon at about 5:00 PM. The restaurant was just beginning to fill and we were seated immediately, given chips, salsa and drinks. My wife likes a Margareta before her meal but Mi Mexico serves only a wine Margareta -- drinkable but not really to her liking. We both ordered quesadillas and they were tasty but no rice or refried beans. We left feeling a little hungry. The restaurant is a little worn but clean and the staff attentive.

This was the first time I had used on-line ordering at Chili's. I ordered Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesadillas which was Chicken, shredded cheese, chile spices, bacon, house-made ranch. Served with pico, sour cream, ancho-chile ranch. The on-line ordering screen was easy to use and gave me an estimated time the order would be ready. Gave me the option to pay on-line with a credit card or pick it up and pay at the restaurant. I chose the later and my order was ready when estimated. btw the quesadillas was great.
