Pretty much the best fish tacos I’ve had. The hot sauce complimented it very well. Also the black bean tacos were very delicious as well. Our cashier was very friendly and the food came out super quick. Definitely recommend to everyone!

Can’t go wrong with Great Mex. Long time customer here who has tried almost everything on the menu. My favorites include the healthy Mex burrito bowls and California burritos. Good breakfast too. Still the best Mexican food on the peninsula!

This great Mexx location has the best food of all of them. There is not much seating to speak of. It’s a very small place. They do a ton of takeout. Everything is good including the fajita chilada burrito which is loaded with your choice of meat and bell peppers and onions.

Ed Shea
Great Mexican food. It’s in the name. They offer a pretty standard menu and there’s nothing wrong with that. Breakfast is solid too. I get great Mex every time I stop by the area so I’m kinda biased. Pretty solid atmosphere being in Newport Beach.
