What diners say — our read

An average is a poor summary when the underlying reviews look like this. Reviews mentioning front-of-house average 3.9 stars, so it divides opinion rather than settling it. After that, wait times appears most often — 23% of the corpus, averaging 4.4.

Of the 22 rated reviews, 19 sit at four stars or better and 3 at two or below. The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (18 of 22). A third strand, how food arrives, appears in 18% of them at 4.0 stars.

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (96/100) with 1 intermediate and 1 basic violations. The visit behind that grade was February 5, 2026. Its inspection trajectory is upward over the records we hold. On health score it sits safer than 73% of the Volusia County restaurants we grade. For specifics, the last inspection cited food & equipment thermometers provided and accurate and plumbing installed & maintained.

With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

    Food comes out quickly. Place is very busy for taco Tuesday and loud.

  • June 27, 2026

    Excellent, the most flavorful chips, tacos and quesadillas. The steak was tender and the sauce was perfectly tasty

    10/10 would recommend this place. The food is all freshly home made and comes out quickly. The portions are big enough to share and the prices are affordable. We love the friendly staff here too! Thanks for all of the great meals.

    We have tried many Mexican restaurants but this one is always the best. Peppers and onions are always cooked well and flavorful. Shrimp Delight is delightful. Appreciate that they always use the large shrimp 🍤 in their entrees. Burrito Mexico is always fantastic too.

    Ordered at 115, no table service or check ins until 200, when they told us they forgot to put our order in. Then was mad at us for leaving and not wanting to put the order in again. E

    Nice place, no complaints.

    I’ve ordered here many times and the food is fine. Today, I ordered through Uber for a pickup and waited over 1.5 hrs. I asked several staff members for assistance and everyone said “kitchen is busy”. I understand that since it was a holiday, however I personally saw several people place orders at the register and get them while I still waited. There was another pickup sitting at the table for over an hour and I looked at the ticket and realized it was placed AFTER I did mine. They likely gave away my order to the wrong person. I brought this to the attention of the manager. I asked if he could confirm our order was even in the queue. He caught an attitude and said “just cancel it”. Okay, so after being told your customer has waited 1.5 hrs that’s it? And the restaurant is small - he (and the other employees) saw my friend and I standing there waiting the entire time and ignored us. Think twice before ordering through uber/doordash etc. I’ll be going next door to Garcias from now on.

    Tried the shredded and grilled chicken and both delicious. Refried beans are amazing. I had a chimichanga one visit and on another visit the grilled chicken quesadilla. The pricing is also excellent and you get more for your money here than anywhere else around.

    Food was fresh and authentic. Drinks were strong and staff was very nice.

    Our server came up to use to get our food order then to fill up one drink , then charged us for fajitas when I got a quesadilla and told me they were the same thing when the quesadilla was half the price. food was cold at that , DO NOT RECOMMEND. Cost over $40 for 3 tacos and a quesadilla.

    Amazing authentic Mexican food! By far the best in the area. And definitely get the house margarita. It won’t disappoint! Will be coming back!

    I've always had a special place in my heart for Mi Mexico, ever since I was a little girl me and my family would come here frequently. I always ordered the same thing, a cheese quesadilla and fries, even as got older to when most would branch out their diet. However, despite that, I was never met with judgement or felt belittled by the waitresses and staff or told to try something else which I have experienced at many other restaurants, but rather they were kind and understanding, and patient with me. Now that I'm an adult, I've been diagnosed with autism, which explained my stunted palette. I like to think it was the kindness of the people here that kept me from feeling shame when ordering "childish" meals at other restaurants, and I will always be grateful, especially since thanks to that I have now grown past my extreme pickiness and food rigidity ❤️ I can't wait to come here again :)
