5 Best Mexican Restaurants near Roanoke

“Stopped here on a Saturday night, from out of town. Downtown is dark at night and it's hard to tell this was a Mexican restaurant from a distance. The windows were wet with condensation from the air conditioner and humidity so you cannot see inside before entering.
From a recommendation from a local who was coming out of BBQ restaurant about 3/4 mile up the street, she said the Mexican restaurant is way better especially after dark because the BBQ restaurant runs out of things and is not as fresh. So I went to the Mexican restaurant based on her recommendation.
The staff was friendly inside Cocina Real. The food was fast and very good. The tacos come with dual corn tortillas and meat. Anything else you want on it is at a mini salad style bar.
They do charge a bit extra for credit card payment but the staff is very honest as when I accidentally left my credit card in the check (quenta) billfold, they ran out to my car to bring it to me before I drove away. (Thank you for this.)
I recommend this restaurant if you are in this area.“

“I recently visited here and it was fantastic! The food was incredible, with rich flavors and perfect presentation. The staff was super friendly and attentive, making the whole dining experience delightful. Definitely a place I would recommend to anyone!“

“Wonderful food and service!!! Loved the decor and set-up. However, the floors were so sticky under the table, we had to pull on the chairs hard to get them pulled out to be able to sit.

This will NOT stop us from returning!!! We will be back when in the area!“

“I went through the drive through an order. So I'm not sure about the inside, but the cashier was very nice at the window and the food. This time was spot on delicious. I give their food a 10 out of 10 for the street tacos. So good 😋“

“Good food. Friendly atmosphere“
