Awesome spot my husband and I travel from Ontario to have their food ‼️ Best Carne asada and egg breakfast and best shrimp burritos 👍😁 Hugo has awesome customer service and he always remembers my name 😉 we’ve been coming here for years ‼️
Amazing food! Was well worth the wait. Staff were polite and efficient. Highly recommend it.
Food is amazing and the staff are very friendly. Taco Tuesdays and Fridays are the bomb. I'm getting a breakfast burrito today and I'm sure it is to die for!!!!
Food delicious and fresh, very nice environment, people very kind and friendly. Very recommend and I will go back again.
Food was amazing! Was craving real Mexican food and the tacos were just how I like them but even better. Can't get this in Tennessee. Thank you Great Mex as my Dad is a regular weekly!
We are visiting from Vancouver Island, we had a very nice relaxing experience. The food was terrific and the staff were super friendly, even after our grandson made a big mess on the floor� Thanks.
Absolutely LOVE this place! Great prices and great food! I have to come here every time I come to Newport!
The shrimp tacos were amazing! Special thanks to the staff for their kindness and hospitality�
My favorite restaurant ever. I'm also a jerk who thinks/knows what he's talking about. Best version of everything I've ever gotten there. Black coffee best I've ever had. Tacos best I've ever had. I'd eat there every day for the rest of my life.
Great lil place with the Best carne asada tacos on the beach !!
Every time I'm down in New Port (Balboa) we eat here. Great food. Nice staff. Chill environment.
La proxima, voy a traer mucho mas amigos. La comida estuvo bien rica.!!!!
The food was good! However the wait may be a bit long as it is a small place which means that service is slow. However, we did get a small plate of chips for free due to the wait. It is a hidden gem and definitely more affordable than the nearby restaurants.
My best meal in my 5 days in LA. So mean. Love it. Tuesday is cheap tacos. Like $2. Would recommend to all
Pretty much the best fish tacos I've had. The hot sauce complimented it very well. Also the black bean tacos were very delicious as well. Our cashier was very friendly and the food came out super quick. Definitely recommend to everyone!
Overall good experience. Great flavors and very fresh. There’s also a good variety of salsas ranging from mild to hot. Very fast service as well. The food is made to order.
Been coming here since I was a kid and it’s just as delicious as ever! Best Shrimp Tacos in the world!!! (Besides south of the border) 😉 After spending a day on the beach just walk across the sand to Great Mex and have the yummiest tacos ever 🌮 🍤 🌊🏄🏼♀️
We have eaten here multiple times and enjoyed it each time. Our typical order is hard tacos, a chicken burrito, and out guilty pleasure, a side of fries. Besides the food being delicious, they have amazing salsas ranging from mild to extra hot. The staff is excellent and service quick.
This great Mexx location has the best food of all of them. There is not much seating to speak of. It's a very small place. They do a ton of takeout. Everything is good including the fajita chilada burrito which is loaded with your choice of meat and bell peppers and onions.
Delicious. One word. The gem of Newport. If you want some casual, reasonably-priced ‘delicious’ Mexican food - stop in here.
This place has great food, drinks, service, atmosphere and prices. Everything we got was delicious and really went above and beyond what I expected. The music was fun too and had me dancing while I ate. Definitely will go back to my new favorite Mexican restaurant on the peninsula
Really good food and excellent staff.
I have been out of state for a bit but i got my Shrimp Burrito fix today. Same as always delicious! Thanks Great Mex for never changing and always being Great. PS wild tacos sucks.
Can't go wrong with Great Mex. Long time customer here who has tried almost everything on the menu. My favorites include the healthy Mex burrito bowls and California burritos. Good breakfast too. Still the best Mexican food on the peninsula!
Great Mexican food. It's in the name. They offer a pretty standard menu and there's nothing wrong with that. Breakfast is solid too. 👌 I get great Mex every time I stop by the area so I'm kinda biased. Pretty solid atmosphere being in Newport Beach.
Very good Mexican food in balboa, we had fish taco, and shrimp salad which is really good man…..👍👍
Loved my dinner! Nice place and I really liked the whole concept.
A family favorite for many years, and still produces some of our favorite tacos beach side.
We like eating in if we can get a table, but doing a takeout run for a large crowd at home is also fun and quick.
Guacamole is some of the best, and very generous servings too!
Order at the counter, pick it up there too. This is not fancy... Just tastes that way!
I've been going to great mex (when I'm by the beach) for like 2 decades now - best Mexican food in Orange County - 4 chicken soft tacos for life ❤️
Great spot. Friendly service and superb prices, food is delicious. Vegetarian friendly. Salsa bar, chips with your meal. Recommended! Included menu and prices.
We vacationed in Laguna beach but had whale/dolphin watching plans in balboa, so for something good and hearty, we came here. They did not disappoint! The food was so filling and delicious we even drove out there twice more from Laguna just to eat and explore. The alcohol beverages are VERY POTENT. They definitely don’t drown your beverage with ice and mixer. I will always make it a point to stop by and eat/drink here coming from vegas.
