" Food was decent, but I felt something was off. The flavors were just not as vibrant as I expected from a Mexican restaurant. The service was fine, but it lacks a genuine warmth. I would likely try it again, but not for a while. Maybe I just hit it on an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" The service was excellent and the food was served hot! I had the nachos with beef and they were very generous with the toppings. Loved the fresh guacamole that came with it. Overall great experience, I’ll definitely be returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" The NexMex Thing is one of my favorite places to grab a quick bite! From the delicious margaritas to the amazing elote, it's hard to get bored with the menu. My go-to is the steak burrito, which is huge and packed with flavor. A great place for families too, as they have options that appeal to all ages. Highly recommend stopping by if you haven’t yet – you'll leave full and happy! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a horrible experience here. The staff were rude, and my food was cold. It took forever to get someone’s attention to fix it, and by the time I finally got new food, everyone else was almost done eating. I would not recommend this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've eaten here a few times, and my experiences have been mixed. The food is generally quite good, but on one occasion, my order was wrong, and it took a long time to fix. I appreciate the manager's effort to make things right, but the wait was frustrating. On a positive note, when the food is right, the tacos are fresh and tasty. They do impress with their flavorful sauces! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited The NexMex Thing and absolutely loved it! The atmosphere is vibrant and lively, a perfect backdrop for enjoying delicious Mexican food. I ordered the birria tacos and was blown away by the flavor. The meat was tender, well-seasoned, and honestly the best I've had in the area. The staff was friendly and accommodating, which made the whole experience even better. I can't wait to come back and try some of their other offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m honestly surprised by the negative reviews. My experience at The NexMex Thing was wonderful! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was lively and inviting. I tried their famous burrito and was stunned by the amount of flavor packed inside. The service was prompt, and they were really friendly. Definitely a place I will be coming back to often! Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)
