Super Mex

Very fast & excellent service. Did not once have to ask for more chips or drinks. Francisco was our server and he was Great. So coming back.

It was my first time at this Super Mex
1. The waitress spilled Coke on the floor and on my foot as I was getting seated. Of course, no apologies.
2. The salt & pepper shakers were so dirty, I pushed them to the side and discovered they were sticky too.
3. The waitress never returned after taking our order.
4. We were offered no soda or water refills.
5. I had to get out of my chair to request more napkins and tortilla chips.
6. The dish that my burrito was served on was filthy. It had a glob of guacamole and enchilada sauce; both of which were not part of my bean and cheese burrito! I told waitress #2 who said she’d leg the cook know.
7. Grease was dripping from the quesadilla and bean and cheese burrito that we needed extra napkins to absorb the grease.
8. Someone was smoking either In the kitchen or restroom because I could smell the cigarette smoke!
9. The menus had dried up food on them!
10. Food crumbs were under all the dining tables!
This restaurant was disgusting!!!

Tried the cheese, ground beef and shredded beef enchiladas and they were all delicious. Refried beans and rice were also on point. I like how for take out orders they put the combination plates in aluminum trays to keep it warm on the trip back home.

Excellent food. The burritos are huge and so good, especially whee I get it with the red sauce. Fast service and clean restaurant.

Chips and salsa was amazing. street, tacos were good. coffee was hot n good… A+ from me. and I eat alotttttt of places

First time at SuperMex in a while and I am glad I came back and to this location. Dinner was delicious and our server Dani (Danielle) was extremely friendly and efficient. Great server and excellent mexican food!

Over priced for what your getting, service isn’t terrible but it’s not the best either. I paid $ 9 for an Asada burrito, what I got was a burrito that had more beans, flavorless if I may add, than anything else. Plus after eating here I got a bad stomach ache, definitely not coming here again.

Honestly, I use to love this place… BUT what the hell happened? The last 2 times I’ve been here its been a little after 8 pm during the week and the place is a mess! No one is here and theres 5 tables that look disgusting. Look i get it, they were probably busy earlier but to leave 5 tables like that when theres 1 couple in the whole place?! WITH 2 waiters & 1 bus boy? Come on now.
Now on to food…
We place our order right away then watched our waitress disappear and our food was up. No sign of her…5 min go by… no sign of her… oh look more food at the window… the other waiter grabs his tables order and delivers it. Our waitress? Still missing. The other waiter (can i add that he’s been there for years and his service always sucks) could care less that our food was sitting up there still. He welcomes another pair into the the restaurant. Our food still sitting there and our waitress you ask? Missing! After a good 12 minutes he catches me giving him the evil eye and delivers our food! Yes, i’m hangry by now. The food was okay, my husbands wet burrito grossed him out so he stopped eating it. The tostadas were rancid as all hell and my husband had to get up and get us a refill. Our waitress gave us the bill if you were worried about her disappearance… but only because the bus boy told her we were ready for the bill. After years of loving this chain… we’re done.
P. S. My husband is burping up the rancid tostadas (also not the first time this happens).

One of my favorite Mexican restraunts. Love their shredded beef crunchy tacos. the salsa is so good, I practically drink it! My other go to dish is the green rice with chicken. love super mex food

Super Mex offers wonderful food and kind service. I have been eating there for years now and it’s still my favorite restaurant and I never get sick of it! The manager is very nice and is almost always around and checking on everything when I’m there. I haven’t really had a bad experience as far as I remember, and the pricing isn’t too bad either. It’s very family friendly as I go there with my family every couple of weeks and comfy. Overall a great place to eat.

Good food. Great service! We love coming here at least a couple times a month among. It is our family favorite. Steak and shredded beef tacos are my favorite. It is very affordable. Under $ 30 dinner for a family of four is not so bad. :)

We used to come here about once a month for the past year. I was disappointed with our chips during our last visit. They weren’t fresh and had a bad oily taste. I love chips and salsa and the fact that they tasted like crap pretty much ruined my entire dinner. One bad experience wasn’t enough to keep me away, so we went back last Saturday. Ughh… horrible decision! We sat down but just couldn’t ignore the awful smell inside the restaurant. Even though we were presented with a fresh batch of chips, we had to leave. My daughter said it smelled like «pee», & my husband thought the smell was coming from the restrooms. I have no idea what caused the restaurant to stink, but I am not sure I will ever go back.
This is really too bad.

I grew up eating this the one in Long Beach the one in Lakewood the one in Belmont Shores and now this one they are all amazing man I love eating the enchiladas the chicken ones are so bomb and I recently tried the nachos the Carne Asada is bomb too but I need to try the carnitas the beans is fire and the rice to me is just ok nothing great but overall the food is good definitely try it

This place has the worst service ever
We walk in and have a seat
We sit there for about 5 minutes
The table next to us gets their food the waitress still hasn’t acknowledged that we are there
Another 5 minutes goes by and another couple sit at the table next to us
They were brought menus right after they sat down
So we get up and walk out
The waitress said to us as we are walking out
That’s not my table
So you mean to tell me that you have the tables on each side of us even if the table wasn’t hers she could have dropped off menus or got the waitress or waiter of the section we were in
But to act like we weren’t there because its not your section
I will never eat there again
Maybe the manager should do some customer training with their employees

I went to eat a casual dinner with my husband and our son and though we had low expectations, but even those were not met. We were greeted as soon as we sat down, no complaints there– nothing was particularly dirty but I was more busy fussing with our 4 year old.
Our waiter did not introduce herself, and went straight to drinks. She was kind enough, but way to hastey… Until our food came and then the strangest part happened… Our waiter and two others sat down behind us and began gossiping. One was weaving a friendship bracelet on the table and another was sizing her wrist for it. Both my husband and I immediatly stopped eating and began to look around. There were 6 waiters on duty in a room with ¼ of the table seated. We sat there without touching our food for at least 20 minutes and the 4 out of 6 waiters who were joking around were completely ignoring us.
During this time, we also noticed: they would check on other customers, and after having helped them, walked away with scowls and eye rolls. Oh yeah the food!
Plates of grease. I had the chinichangas which were so flavorless it was like eating oversized eggrolls. Somehow she dropped the check with zero communication– no thank yous, no see you soons, no «is the food ok? i noticed no one has eaten anything» Why did we waste money and ruin a goodnight? Just save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else.

Its my first time at the Super Mex in Fountain Valley and came specifically for the Cosido. A delicious hot beef soup that’s perfect for a cold or rainy day. May sound plain to you but it’s anything but. When entering a restaurant, it always makes for a better experience when your greeted with a smile. A friendly girl at the counter made sure of that… thanks, whatever your name is. This time I happened to be there for take out so didn’t experience the table service. Now I’ve been to other Super Mex’s in the Long Beach area and their food is pretty consistent. This location was no exception. The soup was unbelievable as usual. When most people go out for Mexican they stick with the usual tacos, burritos ect. Don’t be afraid of trying the soup. Its better then what you’d expect and it hits that perfect spot that nothing else can on a rainy day. Enjoy

The four stars is mostly for the addicting chips and salsa, especially the salsa. The chips here are more like tostada shells. The salsa is so freaking good. I almost got some to take home but forgot. I had a tamale and taco plate. Taco was pretty good, tamale was ok. But seriously, that salsa doe.

We have eaten here for years. The food is always great. The service is usually good unless they are swamped.
You get a good meal at a good price.
You won’t be disappointed.

The 5 stars are for Kayla who works the to go and phone orders. She is very happy and very friendly with everyone and professional on the phone. I wish everyone was like her since this location and the HB location have suffered from having employees who didn’t care at all.
The food is great of course but I want to give props to a great employee!

Mexican Food Hot Spot — This restaurant is located in the TJ Maxx parking lot.
Super Mex is best known for the restaurant’s home-​style flavors, generous portions and reasonable prices.
I like the fact you can seat yourself. They bring you these extra grande tortilla chips and salsa which are just heavenly. You just can’t stop eating them they are so good.
They have a pretty big menu and I never know what to order so I always ask the server what the most popular. They always suggest their signature «Super Mex Burrito» which is a wet burrito with rice beans, lettuce and choice of carne asada, carnitas, chicken or fish on the inside and guacamole on the side. The sauce that it’s covered in is either the red sauce which has a mild flavor or the green sauce which is spicy.
I forget how much it cost because I wasn’t paying but I’m sure its in the ball park of 7 or 8 bucks.
The servers were pretty quick. The food comes out pretty fast and always doing the refills on drinks & chips and salsa.
So here’s my review in total.
Wait time — There is none because self seating.
Food Selection — A lot of choices on the menu.
Quality — pretty good, Id come back again.
Décor — Looks like a Mexican joint.
Parking — Private lot with tons of spaces.
Overall I liked the food today and I might hit this place up sometime next week for lunch.
Thanks for reading my review.
