La Mex offers a cozy atmosphere and decent Mexican fare, but there are definitely some improvements needed. 🌮 I enjoyed the burrito - it was flavorful and well-assembled. The patio with the fireplace is a lovely spot to dine on warm evenings, but beware of pesky flies!

The $5 margaritas on Thursdays hit the spot, too. However, the service fell short, especially regarding chips and salsa. I found it odd that I had to pay extra for chips after already splurging on queso.

Overall, I appreciate the relaxed vibe, but the pricing and service could use a rethink. I’d return to try the mariachi night! 🎶
