14 Best Mexican Restaurants near Vail

“wonderful food, great atmosphere and the drinks are amazing!“

“As native Tucsonans, we LOVE Mexican food, and we’ve had our fair share of it from all over the city and beyond. But let me say, Charquitas is hands down the best Mexican food we’ve ever had, point blank! The flavors are authentic, bold, and rival even some of the best meals we’ve had in Mexico itself. If you’re craving true Mexican cuisine with that perfect homemade touch, look no further. This spot is a must try!“

“The best authentic Mexican food I have had while visiting AZ! Fast and friendly service, inexpensive and so good! Highly recommend!“

“I’ll give it 4 stars because, hey, it’s Taco Bell—but those new chicken nuggets? Let’s just say my 2nd grader summed it up best: ‘They look like coyote poop on the trail.’ I can’t say I disagree, and the taste? Easily a -5 stars. Enough said.”“

“Amazing carne asada and al pastor tacos with tortillas that taste homemade. Highly recommend!“

“Great food & amazing service!“

“LOVE this food!! MUST GO EAT!!“

“Food is excellent. Hidden gem. My favorite in Tucson.“

“Love the food here! El Coronado is the best! Always have to try something new + order a margarita 😋“

“Good food and service. The chips , beans and salsa are delicious.“

“Tried their tacos, absolutely love them. Will return.“

“Our server was excellent. He wad helpful and responsive. All of Sam's restaurants are noisy. He likes that way. It turns tables. Good for business. My quesadilla was slightly burned. I should requested another but I was hungry. The happy Hour wine was nice especially for the price. I like Blanco, just wasn't the best Blanco experience.“

“Finally revising this review - management changed some years ago. Service has been great, both in wait time and food quality, and with pretty much everyone that works there. Friendly and efficient service. I always order on the app and pick up at the counter, so I can’t really speak to the overall “atmosphere”, but it’s been clean every time I’ve been there, which means something.

Vegetarian options: Black beans can be substituted for meat in any item, and multiple items are noted specifically as vegetarian on the menu.

Parking: Parking is sometimes sketchy when the Mexican restaurant right next to it is full; the main ingress from houghton also goes right between the two. that part of the shopping area wasn’t thought out. There are designated spots for takeout though, and I can always find a spot, it’s just tight.“
