What diners say — our read

The trajectory matters more than the average on this listing. Reviewers who mention front-of-house rate this place 4.0 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour.

19 of 25 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 5 are two or lower. No one in this corpus comments on the state of the room at all. The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (18 of 25).

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (97/100) with 3 basic violations. The visit behind that grade was December 19, 2025. The trend across inspections is improvement. That puts it ahead of 79% of graded kitchens in Volusia County. For specifics, the last inspection cited garbage and refuse and insects/rodents/pests.

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

    Best Mexican restaurant in the area. Food is always so fresh and authentic.

    I LOVED this place. My family has a condo near this place and we went for dinner. I highly recommend the Enchiladas Rancheras. The amount of flavor and seasoning was perfection. Love this place, will definitely be returning.

    Friendly host and efficient servers. We had very good margaritas and tasty Nachos Supreme. I’m from California and the nachos get my stamp of approval!

    Husband always make a point of going here for really good Mexican food while on vacation in NSB. It is so delicious. I forgot to take pics until after 😆 🤣 but you get the idea. Go!

    Authentic with terrific music, great food! The service was lacking but maybe they were short staffed. I would give it another try because the food was amazing!!

  • May 29, 2026

    Absolutely delicious. Food was fresh and hot. Flavorful. Nice staff. I got the chimichanga lunch band it was a ton of food. Highly recommend!!

    Having eaten there before, I know the food is good. Tonight we arrived before closing only to rudely be told they are closed. No sweat. I’ll happily give my money to someone else that wants it. Won’t go back. I don’t like rudeness.

    After a long day of flying and driving we found Mi Mexico down the street from our Airbnb, and were very happy we did! The manager opened the door and welcomed us immediately upon arrival. The family atmosphere was exactly what we needed, the service warm and welcoming, the food and drinks were great, and the prices affordable. We plan on returning for at least another meal before the end of our short stay in New Smyrna. I highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

    We sat outside of course, food was ok. Atmosphere was great, service was great, salsa was delicious (I have gerd and most salsa 😫) not his one . 🤑 Prices are reasonable

  • May 7, 2026

    Stop once passing by and had to do it again today. Tacos are so good. Come and check it out.

  • May 7, 2026

    Gotta knock off couple of stars. So many issues with today's visit. This is the place to be seen. Great food outstanding staff.

  • May 4, 2026

    Food sucked wouldn’t recommend. Cheese sauce was water down and steak was way over cooked. There was four of us. Pork tasted plain like it came from crockpot with no seasoning. Kids cheese burger was burnt.

  • May 3, 2026

    The food here is amazing! Best restaurant salsa, taste like homemade. Sanda was also incredible. I will not wait long to come back.

  • April 23, 2026

    Went here yesterday worst service ever. Our waiter disappeared after taking our order. Had to remind him to bring us water 3 times. My partner ordered wing he himself had to go various times inside to get what we needed. We did not leave a tip and today we received an updated notification that the amount was updated to include the tip. They added a $10 tip that we did not leave. Will be reporting it our bank and letting everyone know

  • April 22, 2026

    Great food. Stop I

  • April 21, 2026

    Best Mexican in NSB! Although the new one in the Publix plaza is giving them a run for their money!

  • April 19, 2026

    Recommend their fajita quesadilla

  • April 19, 2026

    This family outing was very disappointing. $83 meal and not one thing I could say was good. The food was very bland and lacking flavor . & if I only had one word for my service from our waiter he was TERRIBLE he literally forgot about our table . Will post my receipt for proof.

  • April 17, 2026

    There are lots of great Mexican restaurants in NSB - this is not one of them.
