Mexican restaurant, American restaurant
La Mex in Joliet offers a vibrant spot for those craving Mexican flavors with a hint of American flair. The atmosphere feels like a hacienda, perfect for gatherings, while the outdoor patio invites you to relax by the fireplace on warm days. Although reviews highlight inconsistently seasoned dishes, the burrito stands out as a crowd favorite. On Thursdays, you can indulge in $5 margaritas, complementing the laid-back vibe. While the service is attentive, guests note the pricing can be a bit surprising. Overall, it’s an enjoyable venue for casual dining with friends or celebrating special occasions.

October 03, 2024La 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! 🎶
