Mexican Gardens - Southgate

I love their food and it frustrates my husband that I don't want to get any other Mexican food. But today topped it off for me. I am a vegetarian and I ordered our lunch off the app. By rushing to get the order in while still getting my work done I had ordered a meal with beef instead of beans. I didn't realize it until my husband brought the food home and I called MG to confirm. They made me the correct meal for free!!! They didn't have to do that because it was my error. Thanks Chris!! You and your staff are awesome!!!

I 've spent like 20 years coming here as my dad 's FAVORITE 'mexican ' restaurant. And it was always mine too. I 'm in my mid 30 's and for as long as I can remember my dad and I always got the SAME THING. Wet beef burritos. We used to be here 3, 4 times a month. Perfection. The waitresses took our order, it came perfect, every single time. For 20 YEARS The last 2 years we have been maybe 4 times total. We ordered our 'wet beef burritos ' and suddenly the waitresses had no idea what we were talking about. You want beef burritos? No... the wet beef burritos, that we 've ordered for 20 years. Like beef burritos with the sauce on them... And they started bringing us beef burritos with the sauce on the side. The first couple times we were ok with it... whatever, we 'll pour it on ourselves. But it wasn 't the same. We spent a year getting dry burritos with sauce on the side even when we specify NOT ON THE SIDE. ON the burritos. Then the last year.... everything tasted different. Our wet beef burritos that we added our own sauce to started tasting like plastic. And after taste we can 't explain. The cheese was like... a cheaper version of the original or something but it hasn 't ever been the same. Our favorite appetizer, the queso, after 20 YEARS OF PERFECTION went from being thick, stringy deliciousness to watery mess. I 'm actually getting upset as I write this because the consistency was unshakeable my entire life... and now these last 2 or 3 years have been absolutely awful.

Over the last few months the meat in the fajitas has became sparse. I understand the cost increase, but then don't cut the meat ratio.

Went there last night, the chips and salsa were terrible. The salsa was like tomato juice and the chips were cold and no salt at all on them. Ordered beef chimichangas, they look as if they were the frozen type. Tasted terrible and would never order them again. In fact I will never go to this restaurant again.

Our go to when it comes to Mexican food always consistent and very accommodating for the kiddos. Serving staff is always incredibly friendly and the prices are reasonable.
