La Mex - Joliet (IL)

5 /5 Stephen: Best Frozen Margaritas ever. If you go right when they open. There is no bartender I think just a waiter and or Waitress. So you can sit at the bar for a bit before someone notices you are even there. This needs to change. Outside of that not bad. I love there frozen Margaritas. Frozen is perfect its not to sugary and not over whelming of alcohol.

4 /5 Jerry Camacho: This is a great place to come out to celebrate any special occasion. The outside patio with a fireplace is a nice way to enjoy the few summer days in the midwest. The interior is set up like an hacienda and is very easy to accommodate almost any size party, the way the dining room is sectioned off. The bar is nice and carries a very large variety of tequilas and a nice selection of beers. If you go on a Sunday, take advantage of the half of margaritas, they are delicious. The atmosphere is laid back and relaxing. The service is phenomenal, the staff does a phenomenal job keeping your glasses of water full and your table clean. The food is above average and a little more on the Tex-Mex side. The portions are slightly on the small side, but they do a good job spreading it on the plate to give it the appearance of large portion. I have to come back for a dinner and a drink on a day when the mariachi band is playing. The one last thing I would like to point out is the credit card fee. I cant believe that they dont even mention it at all. They are trying to force their customers to pay cash.

3 /5 Jessica Owen: The food was decent but way overpriced. For 5 people to eat the bill was $200. Gratuity was forced at 18%. A childs plate was forgotten until the meal was half over. They refused to split the check for us until we got a manager involved. Not sure whats going on with the heat in the bathroom but it was boiling hot.

4 /5 Chris Parent: The service was really great. Also We thought the atmosphere was spot on. We both enjoyed the food, but Im only giving it 4 out of 5 stars, since We have had better at other authentic Mexican restaurants. We still recommend that You try Em out for Yourself and see what You think. Enjoy!

2 /5 K Knight: I have been an outspoken fan of this restaurant for over 20 years. I introduced my wife to this place, and she fell in love instantly. We have always made it a special occasion when visiting, and have left fully satisfied every single time. The food and service has always been top notch. That is until recently. We were so looking forward to going to our favorite place again and making a new memory. But our last visit was horribly disappointing. Im not sure what happened, but the food wasnt even edible. We felt so bad for our server, but insisted she was not at all to blame. Is it the end of an era? What changed? I hate to think that this iconic eatery has run its course, but naturally were reluctant to visit again. Please say it isnt so.
