The service was fantastic but the Mexican food was not the favorite for us, can be improved a lot. Especially the nachos and fijita. We didn’t try the tacos this time but they looked really good maybe that’s their signature food.

Probably one of the finest Mexican restaurants in Ontario. I would put it in my top 5 any day. Javier is a wonderful host. Do checkout the place if in Barrie

I highly recommend this Restaurant to anyone looking for not just great Mexican food, but also an unforgettable dining experience. The combination of delicious food and outstanding customer service makes it a place I’ll definitely be returning to. What really stood out was the genuine care our server (Ozz) showed. Ozz went above and beyond to make sure my dining experience was perfect.

I absolutely adore this place!!! I've been going for years ever since they were in dt Barrie. I moved to Hamilton but always make sure to pop in!! Their toastadas are to die for.. excellent service and tasty cocktails. Would recommend a reservation as it's usually quite busy.

My visit started by a very warm welcome by the host staff. We were seated promptly and greeted by a great server. Our drinks were very good, but definitely, the food was beyond expectations! Every main dish is served with 2 sides and the birria tacos and lobster enchiladas were delicious! Their bar menu is quite extensive too. One of the better Mexican places in Barrie! Def recommended 💯

Food is excellent as always, service could be improved. Our reservation was for 5:30 (we called way in advance) and we didn't get seated until after 6. Our server was lovely and apologetic. Made in Mexico needs to hire more people like table bussers or greeting staff, in my opinion.

The best experience we have ever had! Nice, cute, clean place, delicious food and we enjoyed excellent service. Thank you Ozz, for making our mom's group birthdays special and memorable. The detail of the face painting for the kids and the hats was wonderful 👏👏Thank you to all the service and kitchen crew because they gave more than 100%. We will definitely come back to this place where we felt at home. Recommended to 💯 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First visit to Made in Mexico anywhere but the Barrie location was busy on a Saturday night. The atmosphere, decor, and music make for a friendly fun environment. The food was all amazing and everything tasted great. The lime large margarita was very good with a nice lime sweet mix. Considering we got 3 drinks, an appetizer, and two mains it was around 100.00 and for 2024 that’s pretty good considering the size and quality of the food. Definitely be back again to try other menu items.

Exceptional mexican restrurant. Went with a large group (7 people) and everyone was pleased. Seems like a busy night and now we know why, this place is spectacular, not just the atmosphere and decoration, every detail even the music give you a very comfortable moment, the portions they were huge and delicious, such as beef, chiken, fish, pork. Talking about cocktails and mocktails are fantastic, (Sangria, Paloma, Bulldog, Miamivice , we had all those and really enjoyed it. Home made salsas , guac and queso made fresh , in fact everything they served was large. This is absolutely THE BEST mexican food I have EVER had...from Toronto to Ottawa to Texas, to Ny ...hands down.... Our server Ozz is truly exceptional! He brings an infectious energy to the table, making everyone feel like theyre part of the family. His vibrant personality is the perfect blend of warmth and fun, making him the ultimate game-changer in the dining experience. Ozzs passion and dedication to his craft are evident in every interaction, and hes the reason why this place stands out from the rest. Hes a true asset to the team, and we cant praise him enough! Nontheless, all staff seems really enjoy and serving with pasion, it Iooks so funy to work here !!, they are professionals and polite, AMAZING, not many places offer this 10 stars...

I received 4 soggy tacos, with bland chicken and raw onion on top for 17$. For sides I got bland mexican rice and bland tortilla soup. Ther wasnt even salsa or sauce, the server brought some but it couldnt save the meal. Unfortunately its the worst mexican food I have ever eaten... the tacos just fell out of there wet soggy shell. At least the beer is authentic. Service was OK.

23/07/24: We came back here for our second time and loved it even more! The restaurant is very lively and the staff are outstanding, I would go back again just for their energy. We ordered jalapeno poppers, lobster tacos, and house chicken quesadilla. Jalapeno poppers were amazing! The lobster tacos were cooked with ranchero sauce, which I felt was a little too heavy on the salt. 15/05/24: Amazing fish tacos! We also ordered shrimp tacos, empanadas, and smothered burritos. Amazing portions and would go back for the empanadas and tacos!

Its probably the best Mexican dish I have had. Birria Tacos with Birria soup for dipping tacos in on the side. A must try to everyone. You can come back here and give my review a thumbs up after you try it because you will want to thank me. The service was great. There are tons of cocktail drinks on the menu, and if its your birthday and you let the staff know you will be in for one of the best birthday sin alongs ever!!! Made In Mexico is a must try!!!!

The food here was such a disappointment after visiting the old location. The tacos crumbled apart as you were eating them. They need to incorporate the two shell method that many other places do.

Recently had an amazing experience at Made in Mexico! My family and I went for lunch to celebrate a birthday and the staff couldn t have been more amazing! Our server Ozz really connected with us and was available anytime we needed him. Ozz made our visit so special and went above and beyond for our table. We look forward to seeing him again! The food was amazing, it came out so quickly. We ordered the street and border tacos made with their house chicken tinga and it was so flavourful. We would 100% order it again. We also ordered the nachos and salsa as an appetizer and it was obvious that the nacho chips were made in house and they were so amazing! Overall the food was so flavourful and we felt like we were really in Mexico! The staff surprised us with a birthday serenade and a large sombrero to wear which was so much fun. It was the perfect end to an amazing meal! The atmosphere was so adorable with lots of fun Mexican artwork all over the restaurant! It is obvious a lot of thought and care went into the design of the restaurant. Overall I would give this experience a 10/10 on food, service and atmosphere! I definitely recommend bringing everyone you know here!

July 21, 2024

My wife and I love Mexican food, but our two 3 & 6 year old girls do not, so we brought half eaten popcorn chicken for them to the restaurant. Upon entering, we asked the front staff & male server if bringing outside food for our kids would be an issue, and they assured us it wouldnt be. However, once we were seated, a blonde staff member approached us and was extremely rude about us having the food. Her attitude was unnecessary and disrespectful. We would have gladly left the food in the car if she had politely explained the restaurants policy. Its important for staff to communicate policies to customers respectfully, without rudeness or hostility. This experience left us feeling unwelcome and disappointed.

July 21, 2024

**Review: Utterly Disappointed** I was really looking forward to dining here, but the service was incredibly disappointing. The server with blond hair was not only rude but didnt apologize for asking us to leave because my kids were finishing up some outside food. My husband and I had made sure to ask two staff members if it was okay before being seated, and they both said it was fine. However, as soon as we sat down, the blond server came over and essentially kicked us out. This experience was not only embarrassing but also frustrating. I will never come here again. If I could give 0 stars, I would. Terrible service. The management should seriously consider firing this server.

We were asked to wait (along with 3-4 other groups of people) to be seated, even though we had a reservation. Ended up waiting about 15min to get a table, which isnt a big deal, but our overall experience did not make up for it. The place was super busy, so our waiter took a while to acknowledge us. He was nice, but we did not see a lot of him throughout our meal. The food was OK, but the obnoxiously loud atmosphere (loud tables & even louder music) made it extremely hard to enjoy our meal. It was only the two of us and we had to yell back and forth because it was impossible to have a conversation otherwise. Left unsatisfied and with a headache. Will not be returning.

We were very excited that they came back to Barrie. We have been going to Made in Mexico for many years. The Newmarket location, then Barrie and once they close and reopened in Barrie we have been here 5 times. The last 3 times we have seen an immediate decline in quality. We went Thursday for dinner and noticed prices have gone up a lot and food portions have been reduced. My meal went up by $5 and barely warm. I m a good cook and could tell this this was reheated chicken and very dry and no flavour. This was the last time and what a terrible experience with our server and my wife s drink was Extremely watered down. You ve lost a long term customer and there is so much more I could say.

My husband and I ordered the chicken burrito, Beef Birria Dorados, Divorce Enchiladas, with side Mexican Rice, Beans, Tortilla soup, and Churros. Every bite was delicious! My favourite was the Beef Birria Dorados with Beans on the side and Tortilla Soup . Habanero hot sauce sauce was delicious. Also, I have to give a shout out to Marco! He was an amazing host and treated our family like we were all family naturally. Amazing vibe for sure!

Sorry, not for me. I ordered chicken fajitas with a house salad (lol) and Mexican rice. What I got was a big cold plate with a pile of grilled, then steamed, lukewarm chicken with a few cubes of onion and green pepper. No sauce, no salsa, no cheese and a half dozen nuked corn tortilla shells. I asked for some toppings and got some sour cream...all for $20. I wasnt paying, so I wasnt gonna complain, but you should know, that despite the good food being served around me, my plate was a big no! Our server was pleasant and prompt and its actually a nice spot, so theres that.

Courtney gets 5 stars! The food 1 star, this place was packed and people waiting, my meal must have been 1 off, I hope. First, was the lipstick on my glass, a dirty knife, after that I ordered the street tacos with ground beef, when I picked up all 4 tacos, the bottom fell out due to all the grease, that was disgusting. When the nachos showed up, all the toppings are dumped on top, the bottom layers were dry, and what is up with the sour cream? It was about the same amount as in ketchup packs! My wife enjoyed her meal, place was busy, I will never go back or reccommend.

First time at the Made in Mexico location in Barrie. The cheese empanadas were unreal and the El Pastor were the best I ve ever had. Got extra pineapple and a side of the green salsa verde with refried beans and tortilla soup (not my cup of tea). Chefs kiss. Ambience is nice, lots of things to read and look at. Pricing was extremely reasonable, will be back to try more menu items !

Went there today with my family, and i can say we all enjoyed our food. The customer service was excellent, and the atmosphere was good. The prices are very reasonable with the amount of food you get served. We ordered the pastor tacos, chicken tacos, and fajitas. They were very well seasoned and hot, and my kids enjoyed the chicken tacos. The only thing is i found it difficult to eat my tacos due to the tortilla ripping at the first bite, even the chicken tortillas that had no sauce at all, although we all managed. Overall, I recommend and would definitely go back. Thank you.

Found the service was good and noticed they cleaned the menus after each use. However, even though the service was acceptable the chances of returning are slim. Ordered the chicken enchiladas (green sauce) with Mexican rice and refried beans. The rice just tasted like salt. Liked how they put onions in the refried beans as filler but the beans themselves tasted cold, salty and a little fishy. Server brought to the table extra green sauce without asking. But, the green sauce just tasted like vinger. The chicken was tasteless and looked processed. There are other Mexican restaurants in Barrie that I find taste better and will patronage them. Have a good day, thanks for reading my review.

March 21, 2024

Well if you would like to pay for each individual topping this is your place. $15 for tortillas and onions. Ground beef and cheese and salsa all extra charges. This place is not only super confusing but super expensive and not worth it one bit. Very disappointing as I was actually exited to have some tacos. But that was terrible

The food here was fantastic!!!! Everything seemed fresh and authentic! They have a fantastic menu and an even better drink menu! The prices are a tad steep but definitely worth paying for the quality! The atmosphere was fun and energetic! Lots of music and people having a good time! (We went on a Friday night). I would highly recommend eating here. We liked it so much we ended up ordering online for takeout the next day. I will say the takeout was not quite as good as when we ate in and they forgot our utensils (we were staying at the hotel next door) but all in all I would definitely recommend eating here! Cant wait to come back again!

I would say the food we got was just okay. It was a little cold and we were surprised that the quesadillas do not come with salsa or sour cream.

Saw this spot while visiting Barrie with the fam. Decided to give it a try. LOVED IT! My daughter really enjoyed the kids quesadillas! I ordered the Tacos pastor, and they were ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! We ordered empanadas for the table, and we devoured them. I love the slightly spicy green sauce served on the side. Mild options are available. There is a level of spice for everyone! My husband really enjoyed the tacos Birria. He mentioned they were some of the best hes tried. I treated myself to a lime Margarita on the rocks, and HOLY COW! Best Margarita Ive ever had! Staff is friendly and restaurant is very clean! We cant wait to return! Ozz is FANTASTIC! He was the server taking care of us.

Made in Mexico Barrie brings its A game. The competition has its work cut out for them.

The bartenders and cooks got it going. The hostesses were super friendly and helpful. Our server was a rockstar. Busy night, lots of tables and never missed a beat.
