The Mex is a large establishment in Overijse with a separate bar and a "courtyard" for summertime for whenever the weather is fair. First and foremost, it is definitely not "MEX" it would even be a stretch to call it "the TEX." Once you walk in you have a choice of hooking a left and heading to the bar or... More

Having moved to Overijse from Denver Colorado I was excited to see Mexican Grill. I am a native California and have an extensive knowledge of Mexican Cuisine. This is not Mexican, there is not one bean, tortilla, or serving of Mexican items in the entire restaurant. What a waste of money.

Poor food at an overpriced all-in price of 30€. It is like a mediocre All-in hotel in Spain or Turkey. You can see that quantity prones over quality. And don't even get me started on the public... Quite frankly, Mexican Grill was great 10 years ago in Ixelles but this one is a nightmare

I visited this restaurant mainly for sentimental reasons on a visit from Australia, as my family used to love eating here when I lived in Brussels many years ago. I loved our meal there, this restaurant has a great atmosphere and I had fun grilling my own food (including bananas!) I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the area,... More

I think the other reviews I have just read are a bit harsh! Its not a restaurant for a quiet tete a tete or romantic rendez vous...but perfect for families...and mine (who are all now over 20) love it. I have always found the starter table well stocked, with smoked salmon, prawns, and a huge variety of salads...and the prepared... More

Good enough for large groups. Eat what you want and how much you want. When we went, the floor wasn't cleaned well. Maybe I'll go back one day, but I'm not sure.
