Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers love Mex for its proximity to local venues and its fast, counter-service style, making it easy to grab tacos, bowls, or nachos without missing a beat. The upbeat atmosphere and open seating also mean you can come as a group or solo, and still find a spot without too much wait. If the weather’s nice, the rooftop is a perfect pre-show hangout with skyline views.
