MÉXOLOGY
7.8
A flexible counter-style Mexican option where the build-your-format approach (tacos, bowls, salads, burritos) makes it easy to dial in what you want. The strongest move is picking one standout protein and keeping the add-ons clean so the salsa and seasoning do the work.
Must-Try Dishes:
Skirt steak taco, Pork al pastor taco, Chicken tortilla soup

What to order: Skirt steak taco, al pastor taco, tortilla soup
Insider tip: Go tacos-first; switch to a bowl only if you want maximum add-ons.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Limited street parking in the Court Square area; garages nearby but expect short walks.

Weekday lunch: 5–15 minutes during peak lunch rush; off-peak is faster.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—veg-forward bowls, salads, and taco builds with multiple topping options.
Vegan options: Limited but workable—vegetable bases and salsas; confirm proteins and sauces.
Gluten-free options: Yes—corn tortillas and bowl formats make it easy to avoid gluten.
Good to Know

Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—seating is first-come, shared food hall tables with no reservations.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids who can handle cafeteria-style ordering; no special kids amenities.
Best For
Better for: Fast, customizable Mexican bowls and tacos when you want control over ingredients and pacing.
Skip if: You’re looking for a full-service Mexican meal, a quiet setting, or a lingering dinner experience.

What to order: Mahi mahi tacos, street corn, a bowl
Insider tip: Order food first, then grab drinks at the bar to avoid double lines.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited and competitive in Court Square; paid garages nearby are usually the safest bet during peak hours.

Noise level: Moderate to loud — typical food-hall buzz with music and overlapping conversations.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes depending on food-hall crowd flow; seating can take longer.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait or just a few minutes at the counter.
Dietary Options

Vegan options: Limited but workable — veggie-forward bowls without dairy, check sauces.
Gluten-free options: Some options — bowls and corn tortillas are available, but cross-contact is possible.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better as a low-pressure, casual meet-up than a traditional date — the food-hall setting keeps things relaxed but isn’t intimate.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — seating is communal and first-come, but you may need to scout for open tables during peak happy hour.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes — flexible seating, quick food, and familiar flavors make it easy with kids, especially earlier in the day.
Best For
Better for: Quick Mexican bites that plug neatly into a food-hall happy hour with drinks handled elsewhere.
Skip if: You want a sit-down Mexican restaurant with table service, atmosphere, or a focused cocktail program.
