New Mexico Restaurant

Average Mexican American food. Casual atmosphere with no bar or television. Chips and salsa are decent. The salsa is very mild and they don’t have hot sauces at the table to spice it up. Good value for the money if you want a quick lunch or dinner.

Sorry can’t recommend this place. The food was not good. The staff was very nice but the food is not good enough to ever ever come back

Chips and salsa are great. They season the chips just perfect! You need to
request pico with the chips or you won’t get it and definitely miss out. If you get the guac (recommended) full size is only a dollar more than the half size, so go full size!
Tostadas, Tacos, Mexican Sandwich, and Chimichangas are on the order rotation for me and all authentic, freshly prepared and tasty! You will definitely be bringing leftovers home if you are a tortilla chip fiend and fill up on those.
Service is good but sometimes they get overloaded, so you have to be prepared for lower quality service if they are packed which does happen a lot here.
I like the simple taqueria atmosphere. Place is clean.
Parking can be a problem here sometimes when you have to park in the surrounding neighborhood which is so so.
I will be back!

This Mexican restaurant is lit but, recently the rice is like chewing on hard crispity cracklies. I don’t know if they got a new chef or they just slacking. Them booth seats needs to be replaced and they need a damn remodel. Much ‘ppreciation. Gracias

Terrible service, waitresses were rude. Slow… and kinda dirty. It used to be pretty good all the way around I’m not sure what happened. Food was decent. Kids meals are a joke.

FINALLY! Amazing Mexican food. Truly delicious and perfect. I’m from southern Cali and I know good Mexican food. This place tops the charts out here. I was going to take a picture of my food but then I ate it all. Same with my boyfriend. He got a wet burrito with chicken and I got green sauce chicken enchiladas. The rice and beans insanely flavorful. Chicken is tender and amazingly delicious, freshly pulled.
Best Mexican food in Michigan!

Love the food here. The pico is fantastic. I like to pour it over my meal or just eat it with the chips. The prices are great and the service is excellent. No need to drive miles and miles to get great Mexican food.

So yummy!!! Simple classics and some innovative dishes as well. Excellent enchiladas. Such a treat!

Very good. Can’t beat the lunch specials. Finally a place to get good Mexican that’s not smothered in cheese, lettuce, and sour cream. Highly recommend. Maybe I’ll see you there.

On the recommendation by a local TV personality, I decided to try «New Mexico» out. I will say its above board, it fresh and the service is good. But it’s the type of place, that if you had a quick craving for Authentic Mexican dishes, without having to drive down to Mexican town, this is the spot. Overall I would give it a 6 out of 10. The restaurant is small but clean.

They food was okay but way too expensive for the quality of food. The food was bland and had no color or pop to it. It felt like barely a step up from Taco Bell and I was really disappointed. I would not recommend it.

Correct nichole. v by far this is the most authentic you are going to get without driving down to Vernor and Bagley area they even have horchata here which is beyond hard to find in the suburbs if you have not had it for the people reading this review this is basically where the idea of rum chata came from without the alcohol you need to drink this!!! The portions are generous and the staff was more than friendly the restaurant is bare bones with some kitschy decorations it reminds me of evies if I can’t get downtown this is definitely the go to spot don’t spend your money anywhere else you will be pleased

It’s good Mexican food. A couple times the food has been a little bland, but I’ve started just getting a little extra sauce or something like that. The portions are good, staff is friendly. They aren’t super amazing, but definitely worth a try.

Okay, so we decided to try a different Mexican restaurant form our regular place. And we were glad that we did so. It was quiet due to it being the end of the night. It was clean and neatly organized. Its décor was rather simple, but pleasant to look at. I found it to be charming. We were given a basket of tortilla chips and salsa. Both tasted fresh and had nice flavor.
My wife ordered the beef chimichanga with refried beans and rice. I ordered the chicken chimichanga with refried beans and rice. Neither one of us had had a chimichanga in years. And both of us agreed that they were the best chimichangas that we have ever had. They were flavorful. They were colorful due to being covered in guacamole, lettuce and cheese. The meat was tender. All of the flavors worked well together. And even though the chimichangas were fried, they tasted light. They weren’t heavy tasting as some fried foods can be. As good as the chimichangas were, I am waiting in ancitipation to go back and try more of their offerings to see how good the rest of the food is.

Stopped in on a whim and to satiate our Mexican craving and was 100% satisfied. The salsa was the best I’ve had, I love how you can taste fresh cilantro in it. I never accept the 2^nd basket of chips and salsa… Until today! I ordered the California Burrito with Beans and Rice. It was huge, the meat was tender and spicy and it was loaded with fresh guacamole, sour cream and Pico. I never finish the whole thing but for the 2^nd time today, my taste buds couldn’t get enough. My boyfriend was 100% satisfied with his combo plate also. To top it off the service of the entire staff was friendly and fast. So glad we took a chance today.

OK glad to say last visit was a fluke.
Took the family tonight and everything was great!

My coworker steered us here. They absolutely love it. It was good not great but unfortunately, Mexican restaurants all seem to fall in the same category of just average for me. I can only say that I have had stellar Mexican food twice in my life: once in Texas and once in California.
I ordered the combo. Pretty standard stuff: taco, tostada, enchilada, burrito, rice and beans. Aren’t tostadas really just flat tacos? I feel like the industry is trying to dupe me. Beef here means ground beef and cheese. I really enjoy Mexican places where beef is like pot roast or actual cuts of beef or even tongue. Live and learn. Wife and kids had cheese quesadillas. Melted cheese in tortillas. No surprises here.
Service was friendly and prompt but when I asked what the house specialty is she directed me to the combo. Let’s work on a true house specialty mi amigas. What one dish do you want people to try if they are only going to eat here once? Unless it’s a taco truck, don’t tell me it’s tacos. I like the décor.
If you like standard Mexican and don’t have a problem with it, this is worth a trip. However, a friend told me that in the same area is a Mexican market that has a food counter in it. I’ll be checking that out next time on the west side.

We’ve been coming here exclusively for years. Love that they serve breakfast anytime. Today I’m having the combo plate, already know I’m going to like it. Only thing I haven’t liked is the mole but I don’t think I’ll like it anywhere. If you have room, try the fried ice cream, kids will love it. Bonus — there’s something special in the coleslaw, can you taste it?

Do not mistake this place for a super authentic mexican restaurant experience like Dos Hermanos is down the street. However, what New Mexico lacks in authenticity it makes up for in sheer flexibility.
My wifey and I stopped in to use up the last
voucher we had and we stepped into a decently kept up place. We looked at the full room and saw pretty simple Americanized Mexican fare. We were seated promptly and got the requisite corn chips and salsa, and it was pretty standard stuff. The chips were warm which was a plus.
Now, as for the main courses, this is where my wife gives New Mexico the extra star… you can choose to have fries and coleslaw on the side of your dinner platter rather than just rice and beans. Not that this was expected, but she was pleasantly surprised as she doesn’t really care for rice and beans, but the steak fries she got completed her meal quite nicely. The coleslaw was most likely mass-​produced, but she enjoyed her combo plate with fries. I got the steak mexicana and while it was similar to fajitas, i probably would go back and try the Carne Asada steak or fajitas next time.
The fried ice cream dessert was also amazingly good, although i only had a few mini bites and the wifey enjoyed it a ton.
There will most likely be a next time as New Mexico had good service, decent food, a variety of menu options, and most importantly, french fries on the side. Don’t come in expecting amazing Mexican cuisine, but expect a step up from Mexican Fiesta in terms of food quality and you will enjoy this place.

5 star service
4 confusion re– lunch specials– there aren’t any– old menu picture– shown on Unilocal
3 — 2.25 for a small glass soda– granted refills but 1 glass enough for me
The burrito supreme with shredded beef was very very good. The meat was lean, tender and flavorful. Ate ½ took the rest home. .50 extra for wet.
Asked for hotter hot sauce– they brought out a pico type salsa. Yum.
Coleslaw as a side option is great! Creamy– tart– sweet– yum
Beans soooooo yummy and thank you for the lil bowl rather than smearing them across the plate .
Chips/​salsa mmm ok
I will return to try other options
