- The limited selection of beers is offset by the standard spirit fare and a wide variety of signature margaritas (cliché, yes, but they pull it off). This is an excellent place to stop by before heading off to nearby ["Alexander Street Pub"] or ["The Old Toad"] for a quick drink. Prices are on the high side (especially for the specialty margaritas), but as with most things, you get what you pay for.	+ '''Mex''' was originally a ["restaurants" restaurant] and ["bars" bar], nestled among several nightlife hotspots on ["Alexander Street"].

With the food and drink standards in this city rising, it's not worth going to for the drinks. Never eaten there, never had much interest to. Hopefully a new restaurant or bar will take its place, the location is just too good. --["Users/DE"]

However, we haven't been back in over a year due to a horrible experience we had there. We were seated in a well populated area of the restaurant and, honest to goodness, our existence was never noted for our entire 60 minute wait (before we up and left). The restaurant wasn't busy enough to warrant a prolonged wait and patrons that arrived after us (and were seated right next to us) were waited on and served. After about 40 more minutes of waiting I should have gotten up and told somebody but, at that point, we stayed to see what would happen. Nothing did. We sat and waited (with no drinks and only menus prominently displayed in hand) for nearly 30 minutes more and, despite their repeated presence to either side of us, not one waiter/waitress spoke a word to us. Not even a glance! On our way out, we told the guy at the door (who we believed to be the owner) about our experience and all he offered was an apology and a guarantee that next time we came, we would get a seat right away. That was an inadequate offer because we were seated rather quickly, it was just that no one asked us for our order. Given his reaction, we decided to never return and we never have...

In fact I wouldn't even call this Mexican. Its very expensive but the portions are gigantic. Their drinks are sub-par and overpriced. The ambiance of the restaurant is nice and the service is efficient. The bar, on the other hand, is mobbed with dudebros and douches (standard fare for this part of town). You have to shove to get your overpriced, weak drinks and you must literally kill someone if you want a table. Finally, beware the creepy cougars that lurk in the dark shadows of the bar. --["Users/MarcusKroll"]

The food is awful. I was sick of everything on the menu after working there only about a week. The meat is prepared by a vegetarian who cant even taste it, hence neither can any of the customers. If you want good mexican food I suggest nearby Selena's and if you want a drink there are like 100 bars within a block or 2 of Mex. Please don't eat here unless you want to pay for high priced food that isnt half as good as any Taco Bell I've ever been to. They also have a rat problem, as the kitchen is filthy. + + PS - I am not disgruntled with them as an ex employee. I just would like to save you all some time, and save the overworked and underpaid kitchen staff from working twice as hard as they should due to good reviews. --["Users/TheRocDude"]

I've also discovered recently that the cooks can't seem to get the Agucate Salad to match what's on their menu... ever, really. The salad rarely includes the roasted corn, which is in the description on the menu. The dressing is usually good, but the last time I went in they served me a strangely sweet side of guac instead of the cilantro-lime dressing. When I sent the dressing back the waiter returned with a slightly less thick dressing but it still wasn't the usual one and it tasted odd. I'm a little turned off to any restaurant that can't figure out how to serve what's on their own menu. On the plus side, this place is hopping on Friday nights and they offer super fun speed dating events every once in awhile. They also had music trivia on Tuesdays at one point, not sure if they still do but it was definitely lots of fun when I tried it. The music is usually great and the margaritas are also good, as are the jalepeno-artichoke soup, the nachos, and the free chips/salsa. The staff has been exceptionally nice and helpful most of the time I've eaten here. I think the main issue stems from the kitchen, not sure what's going on in there! They don't seem to be training the chefs to consistently prepare all of the menu items.--["Users/MariahBetz"]

The clientele seemed like normal, professional 20 and 30 somethings--with the occasional cheeseball you find anywhere. The bar wait was fine. We stayed in the bar area and didn't have any food. --["BadFish"]

I would say the price is definitely steep for the quality of the food. I was there for a birthday dinner and we had to send back a couple of dishes. The shredded beef in the burritos was extremely, extremely dry [to the point where it was brittle...I am not kidding]. A couple of people remarked on how their food tasted "off". The good part is that when we sent it back, they took it off the cheque and offered a suitable replacement for free. + + I got the Chicken Fajitas - it was an interesting sauce...I don't know if I would describe it as Mexican.

I'm admittedly not a bar person at all, but found the bar a relatively nice place, that is until they turned the music up to 11 and the depraved woman who happened to be next to me a) hit on me, b) spilled her drink on my shoe, and then c) almost made it to the bathroom before blastoff. These are of course mainly complaints about humanity and not the establishment itself -- of which I could say kindly that I've been to far worse places in the area. --["RochesterGuy"]

I was charged SEVEN dollars for chips and guacamole. Outrageous! The chips cost $3 and the "side" (which was very small) of guacamole cost FOUR dollars. I was under the impression that the chips WITH guacamole would cost four dollars, rather than the SIDE ITSELF costing 4 dollars. (no, I'm not cheap- it's just the principle of the matter...who charges $4 for margaritas which are great, but then charges $4 for a SIDE of guacamole that was sub-par??!) --["TrishHeckmann"]

Somehow they always seem to do at least one thing wrong. The last time I went, 2 weeks ago, the dining room was virtually empty yet the hostess tried to seat us way back in a corner where the lights were off. We immediately ignored her and walked back to the middle of the dining room and sat in a well located and lit table. (She gave us a dirty look and walked away- Nice!) On top of that the Tornados Camaron appetizer was so cold it was completely flavorless. The place does great business but I just don’t see the point in giving it another chance. If I really want great Mexican food, I’m more than happy to make the ½ hour drive out to El Rincon in Sodus. --["ZedOmega"]

The overall ambience of Mex's bar is unique in Rochester: instead of a dimly lit, "what did I just step in?" atmosphere, guests finds themselves greeted by bright colors, comfortable pillows, and hanging circular lamps. The relatively small bar is manned by friendly servers. Despite not having one of this author's favorite beers available, a bartender offered up an excellent but unfamiliar substitute, making an otherwise disappointing order into an interesting and delicious experience. The limited selection of beers is offset by the excellent choice of signature margaritas (cliché, yes, but they pull it off).
