The food was delicious, and aside from being a little late in delivery, the service was good. We will definitely order again.

The food was great and very reasonably priced. Had a shrimp dish and was impressed with the quality of the seafood. Also the Aguas Frescas de Horchatas was very delicious.

Outstanding food and service! Very large portions. Great atmosphere. Owned by the same people who own Mexico Tipico in Lebanon with the same menu. The salsa here is slightly thicker and a bit more spicy than the salsa in Lebanon. I had the steak fajitas. Truly outstanding! There's a reason why the reviews at both restaurants are 5 star. The Mexican food at both locations in these two small towns is the kind you get in large metropolitan areas - very authentic and fresh. You simply cannot go wrong by dining at Mexico on Main (Trenton) and Mexico Tipico (Lebanon).

Great food, great atmosphere, and the servers are very friendly. We are from Indiana, and every time we come to Trenton we have to eat at MOM. Love the new booths. They look great!
