I've been to MexiRolls twice, & unfortunately, after giving it a second chance, I don't think I'll be coming back.
The first time, I went with a group of friends on a Tuesday because we wanted to try their all-you-can-eat tacos & sushi promotion. Even though the restaurant wasn't even half full, the service was extremely slow. I do want to mention that the waitresses were very friendly & attentive, so my issue wasn't with them personally, but the food took a very long time to arrive.
What surprised me the most was the sushi. I don't eat cheese, & since all the rolls included cheese, I asked if they could prepare one without it. I was told they couldn't because the rolls had already been prepared earlier that morning. That was disappointing, especially at a restaurant serving sushi, where I would expect the rolls to be prepared fresh or at least have some flexibility for a very simple modification.
The tacos are quite large & filling, but unfortunately the flavor wasn't anything special for me. Both times I visited, I ordered the al pastor tacos & ended up getting pieces of meat with tough, fatty/skin-like pieces, which I personally found unpleasant.
I didn't try the aguachile because I don't eat seafood, but my friends did & they really enjoyed it, so that was definitely a positive.
I decided to give MexiRolls another chance & came back on a regular day without the promotion, thinking that this time I would finally be able to order a sushi roll without cheese. Unfortunately, I was given the same explanation: the rolls had already been made in the morning, so they couldn't prepare one without cheese.
The service during my second visit was good & the waiting times were much better, but I still left disappointed. For me, it's difficult to understand why a restaurant can't accommodate such a simple request or offer a freshly prepared roll, especially when it's not even during the all-you-can-eat promotion.
Overall, I wouldn't say MexiRolls is a bad place. The restaurant is clean, the drinks are very good, & the staff has always been kind & attentive. Prices are reasonable, although I wouldn't consider it particularly cheap. The music is also quite loud, which may be something to keep in mind if you prefer a quieter atmosphere.
Unfortunately, after two visits, the lack of flexibility & the fact that the sushi appears to be prepared so far in advance left me with a negative impression. There are some good things about the place, but personally, I don't think I'll be returning.
We went on a quiet afternoon with about 7 people, our server was awesome & very friendly. We got the strawberry lemonade, regular lemonade, & some Corona. The drinks were excellent & the lemonade was delicious, though it was a bit carbonated if that's not your vibe.
My rating for this restaurant is so low because the food is passionless. Full of the blandest meat imaginable, only veggies were onions & cilantro. The carnitas were dry & had 0 seasoning, the birria tacos that my partner got had cheese, onions & cilantro & the consommé is just clear beef broth also with next to no seasoning.
Mexico would be disappointed in these tacos. I understand maybe toning the spices down for tourists but this is disingenuous & inauthentic. Old El Paso tacos have more spices than these do.
We didn't try the sushi at this place, but I can't say I'm inclined to try it after such a disappointing experience with the mexican half of this restaurant. If a'chef' can't get tacos right I can't imagine the sushi would be any better.
Music is good, no patio but the doors open up to the outside so the whole restaurant feels like a patio. This restaurant has so much potential but the food is incredibly disappointing.
