I honestly cannot say enough good things about this Mexican restaurant. We stumbled upon this beautiful place while visiting Balboa Island in Newport Beach. From the minute, we walked to the door we felt welcomed! The chips and salsa that come with your order are amazing. I absolutely love tamales and their tamales are the best I’ve ever tasted in my life. My daughter says her burger is definitely a 10 out of 10. My husband, shrimp tacos were also amazing. They have bottled Mexican Coke, which is a favorite of mine. Don’t let this place pass you by. It is a Mexican food paradise.

Loved this place! Located right near Newport Beach, they have $2 street tacos on Tuesdays and Fridays! Very authentic food, great people, wish I lived nearby! I will definitely be back next time I’m in town. Also I highly recommend the churros. So delicious! I had a shredded beef crispy taco, Mexican taco al pastor, and carne asada.

So small, we had to back track LOL
You order at the counter and they bring the food and drinks to you.
The 8 of us came in an hour before closing and they weren’t scared… still delivered delicious food!!
Friendly/professional staff, clean establishment, next time will try some cocktails!

Landed here not realizing it was taco Tuesday and so glad we did. Had a crunchy shredded beef, mushroom and shrimp taco. They were all delicious! The sauces are so good and had a nice range of heat options. Staff were very friendly and helpful! We will for sure be back.

Ima get straight to the point, the food was fantastic! It’s a very small restaurant but that shouldn’t matter if the food is really good which it was!

I got the chance to speak with Veronica And she was awesome very helpful and very nice and gave me a side of chips and salsa on the house which was perfect with the food and I got a beer and a taco and it did not disappoint! They also have a restroom in the back too!

Definitely recommend to try out the food and I’ll be back to try more! Btw the inside is very decorative and chill as well, highly enjoyed everything

Great Mex: Your Go-To for Delicious and Affordable Mexican Food!
Great Mex has become a staple in our local dining scene, and for good reason! They consistently deliver fresh, flavorful Mexican cuisine that satisfies cravings without breaking the bank. But what truly sets them apart are their fantastic weekly specials, making them an absolute must-visit throughout the week.
Taco Tuesdays and Fiesta Fridays are a Steal! If you’re a taco lover, mark your calendars! Great Mex offers incredible deals on Tuesdays and Fridays.

It’s the perfect excuse to gather friends or family for a casual and delicious meal. The tacos are always packed with fresh toppings, and their salsa choices offers a great variety of options to customize your perfect bite – from mild and tangy to fiery and bold.
Don’t Miss Enchilada Wednesdays! Just when you thought the week couldn’t get any better, Great Mex rolls out their enchilada meal deal on Wednesdays. These aren’t your average enchiladas; they’re generously filled, smothered in flavorful sauce (choose from classic red, tangy green, or creamy sour cream), and served with rice and beans. It’s a hearty and comforting meal that’s perfect for a midweek pick-me-up. The enchiladas are always cooked to perfection, with the cheese melted just right and the fillings bursting with authentic Mexican flavors.
Beyond the amazing weekly specials, Great Mex offers a solid menu of other Mexican favorites. From flavorful burritos and satisfying bowls to fresh salads and tasty appetizers like their loaded nachos and creamy guacamole, there’s something for everyone. The quality of their ingredients is always noticeable, and the service is consistently friendly and efficient.
