Great Mex is an absolute gem for anyone craving comfort food on a budget! 🌮 I recently tried their vegan tacos and tamales, and they were both fresh and flavorful - definitely a steal! The salsa took it to the next level.

The atmosphere is welcoming and family-friendly, perfect for a casual meal. They also have options for everyone, from burritos to grilled mahi mahi tacos. I do wish the service was a bit warmer, but it didn’t overshadow the great food. Can’t wait to come back for those mimosas! 🍹✨
