Ocean Drive is lined with restaurants, and every one is trying to get you inside. Menus are visible from the street. Oh Mexico looked a little different than the others, and my daughter had heard good things, so we decided to give them a try. Most of the seating is outside as to be expected. This is a location, location, location area, so the steep prices reflect this. While the food was good, the best part of our experience was the service. Our server whose name escapes me went above and beyond. She was amazing. We ordered magaritas to start. While these were strong, they were a bit small and not the most flavorful unfortunately. Our meals themselves were delicious. We both got the tacos and weren't disappointed with the flavors. While the rice and beans were a bit skimpy, we still left full. Overall, this was a good experience. Just know that you will be paying a bit extra for the beautiful scenery and all South Beach has to offer.

Oh! Mexico was amazing! Located right off the beach, we stopped in after a few hours of relaxing near the water - so it was an easy walk to the restaurant. We had great service with our waiter Thomas. He was so kind and suggested we try the Molcajeta, a lava rock bowl filled with an amazing variety of seafood/mexican to create your own tacos. It was the perfect sharing size. If we ever stop back to this area of Florida, we will for sure be back to visit.

When you are in a tourist area, you expect that the food will be "just okay," not the case here. We had margaritas, strong and delicious, not watered down at all. We had nachos with chicken. It was a huge portion, more than enough for the 3 of us to share. We had esquites (street corn). It was delicious. And we had chicken, fish, and shrimp tacos. All came with black beans and rice. The beans and rice were basic but tasty. The only complaint I heard from anyone was that the crispy fish tacos were too much batter and not much fish. The churros were a perfect finish to a great dinner with friends.

We decided to have dinner at Oh! Mexico after enjoying a delightful breakfast at their sister restaurant, Americano Cafe (please refer to my separate review for that). The ambiance was very pleasant, with friendly service and an enticing menu. Our choice of dishes included two different tacos (fish and pork) and two types of fajitas (chicken and shrimp), with nachos as our starter.
The nachos were generously covered with cheese and featured a layer of flavorful black beans at the bottom, making them a highly recommended appetizer. We all relished this dish. However, the same cannot be said for the tacos; both of them left much to be desired. They were greasy, lacked flavor, and were not very appealing in terms of presentation. The fajitas also left room for improvement, as they were underseasoned and overly oily.
When the bill came to a total of $170, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable considering the taste and quality of the dishes we were served. On a positive note, the restaurant's location on the famous Ocean Drive and the attentive service were notable highlights. Regrettably, I would hesitate to recommend this place for an authentic Mexican dining experience.

Two adults one preteen. Lovely setting on South Beach, feels very holiday, we sat outside due to the heat and received normal service. The chairs weren't that comfy and the setting felt casual dining - light bites.
We had two margaritas, a mocktail, a couple of Dos Equis beers, a bowl of Guacamole and three plates of 3 tacos each. The tacos are authentic mexican (as someone who has spent a lot of time in Mexico I can attest to this).
All the food was excellent - the issue was that after all the taxes and massive service charge (already added to the bill) it came to $180. that is $60 per person for two drinks a bit of guacomole and 3 small tacos per person!
Maybe all of Miami is priced this way but it was at least 30% over what I would have thought would be reasonable for the type of meal we had.

The food was good, but expensive (all the places along Ocean Drive seem to be). I had the most expensive G&T in my life! Never in the world have I had to pay $32 (£26 - or actually £31 by the time they now automatically add 20% service charge!). It was just outrageous - I asked for a Tanquery, and it wasn’t, it tasted like a cheap Gordon’s! The evening we shared a starter , had a main each and one drink … the bill total was $136 (£111). We eat cheaper in London and essentially this place is fast food.
We did go again (as the Mexican Bowl is good) but the waitress looked at us in disgust when we said we’d just have water with our meal, and because we were only having a main (because we weren’t particularly hungry that evening) we clearly were no longer important and the ‘fake cheery smile’ went - service was not great at all in this place…yet they automatically add 20% on the bill. I prefer the old system where you get to chose!

The waiter up sold us. A bigger drink, which is on me, added toppings to our dish that we didn’t ask. When I mentioned the added toppings, he acted like didn’t understand. He brought out the same dish without the toppings, and I think he just scrapped them off. We left paying $65 for 1 beer, 1 up sold margaritas, and 1 bad appetizer. There are so many delicious places to eat in Miami, I recommend you do t go here.

Part of Penguin Hotel - food Was OK, service was OK but wow expensive as we found all of Miami! Two of us, we had a main course each, 2 diet cokes & 1 cocktail and with the awful practice in USA of adding on an expected tip of 20% of the bill (we find this atrocious) it came to nigh on £100 UK pounds - that is daylight robbery, sadly we have been put off ever visiting USA again / it was so not what we expected. All the tipping for frankly awful service in some venues has left a very disappointing sour taste

We were really hungry for Mexican food. Unfortunately, the dish we ordered was hardly seasoned and the chopped meat was very stringy, even though it was chopped.
Unfortunately, it was a disappointment for me. What a pity.
The service was very friendly.

We got tacos, one with shrimp and the other with chicken. They were good, the ones with the chicken were a little dry but overall not bad. Both served with white rice and red beans which weren't that great. Prices are high, but appropriate for the location. Each serving included 3 small tacos with a bowl of white rice and red beans. We only took water to drink. We spent about $65. However, it is a chain, not a 100% typical Mexican place.

I had to check the address twice before writing this review. My experience was completely different from everyone else’s and the food looked awful. I wish I’d taken a photo. I wanted to order Taco’s but the waitress assured me they would be too small so I ordered something else instead. It was three tasteless chicken burritos, drowned in bland looking and bland tasting refried beans with the texture of soup. So disappointing. And expensive. A real case of paying for the South Beach location and not the food. Won’t be going back.

The server switched our order (I even ordered in Spanish and pointed to what we wanted on the menu!) and he brought us something we didn’t order. What he brought us wasn’t even on the menu!! And then charged us almost DOUBLE… only explaining, “Well, you ate it.” He refilled our water glasses once and we had to flag down other servers for assistance while we watched our server hanging out, socializing outside with other employees. The 20% tip was already added on, so we realized there was nothing we could do about the deceptive business practices and laziness from this establishment, so we paid and left. Disgusting. Check your bill and double-check what they bring to the table. You might even want to bring your own bottle of water…

We had chips with guacamole and the tacos with chicken as a main course.
Both dishes were VERY tasty and delicious!
The mocktails they have on offer are great, too ..it’s not just a boring drink but something special in each of them.
Service was very friendly and attentive and also the dishes got cleared very quickly. Overall a great experience, thank you!

Last year we ate lunch at the Espanola Way location of this restaurant. We were pleased to find that they now have a location on Ocean Drive where the sun and ocean breezes add to the experience. I enjoyed a stunningly tasty Mexican Shrimp Salad and my wife enjoyed the tortilla soup. A good mojito and margarita were also served, I thought that the Cinco Leches dessert was overly sweet (a rare miss for the group ).
We received wonderful service from a young woman who surprised us by saying she had only been employed at the restaurant for about a week.

My family was unimpressed with Oh Mexico. Our expectations were higher given the TA rating. The food and drinks were average. I was also turned off by the waiter pushing for extra tips after the automatically added 20% gratuity to the bill. I don’t mind paying 20%, but pushing for more isn’t cool - and service wasn’t all that good anyway.
