32 Best Mexican Restaurants in Lancaster

“Cozy place in the desert with wonderful staff and THE BEST Mexican food! It's a staple for the locals and I was happy to be able to join them.Chicken tamale was fantastic and the chile relleno was perfect, and we had a great time visiting with the staff and other patrons.I hope to go back while I'm here!The price per person was with several beers and a drink, all of which were tasty and ice cold!Kid-friendliness: Great kid's menu“

“We had a late lunch here, sopes for my wife and arroz con pollo for me, and they were outstanding! Muy sabroso! The service was also great. Then, there was the dessert, which we shared: the chimichanga de mazana encanelada, a cinnamon apple chimi with a side of fried ice cream - oh my goodness! Highly recommend this small, family run place.“

“You did it again!!!! My husband and I went last night on taco Tuesday and of course, I had to have the chicken, pork and asada street tacos and hubby had the brilla tacos with the dipping sause. I must, say everything was exceptional! They even give you this bean dip when you first arrive with salsa that was so fire!!!!! Shout out to Bernie. He is truly a wonderful guy and very friendly.“

“Quesabirria tacos were very good, but I probably should have eaten them there - by the time I got them back to Antelope Acres they'd gotten a little soggy but that is totally not the restaurant's fault. I enjoyed the rice and beans they came with as well. Prices are steep compared to what I'm used to paying for similar food in other areas but probably normal for the inflated prices of the AV. If I do takeout again I'll try the birria ramen as I've enjoyed that at other places.“

“Took my mom here for her birthday. Raul took care of us. He was attentive, helpful, and made sure we always had fresh chips, salsa, and water. My mom thoroughly enjoyed the food, service, and birthday song. We left with more than enough food for leftovers. Great service from Raul and reasonable prices“

“We hired La Ramadita to cater my son's 1st birthday and they were a hit with our guests! The food was so delicious and great quality! The service was great! They were on time, friendly, and professional. We're thinking of another reason to hire them again soon because the food was that good. They made our party a hit! Thank you La Ramadita!“

“Had a shrimp cocktail and it was delicious . It had so much shrimp as well! We also had the asada fries to share. The meat was so soft and had a great taste. My husband had the mojara and he tore it up. Definitely recommend this place also staff was super friendly.“

“I love to eat my special torta they make for me. I ask for a veggie torta, which is not 100 percent vegan cause i add egg to it. But is the most delicious torta i have had. I recommend you trying it.Vegetarian options: They will accommodate to your likings.“

“I have been driving by this place for months now and have been meaning to try it. Today I got the bacon breakfast burrito. It took a few minutes but it was worth it. Very tasty and he actually seasoned the potatoes in the burrito. His menu isn’t up yet so get a takeout menu.“

“Family owned and run this is the best small Mexican food place in Lancaster. They have the best burria red tacos and homemade menudo around. It's close to shopping and downtown so the location is great for quick meal lunch or dinner in a hurry def a winner!“

“A pain free experience during each treatment! Dr. Setareh definitely cares about his patients. He consistently discussed my treatments, made sure I was knowledgeable about the options concerning my care. His entire staff is welcoming, professional, and quickly follows up with questions. Thank you also to Jonathan, a very professional staff member.“

“I have never been there, but ordered takeout. The restaurant was 7 miles away from where I live; a new girl took my order not knowing the distance. however, they were friendly with me. The pizza was probably one of the best I ever tasted was everything was really good if I were in Palmdale I would probably have to go there.“

“We had a late lunch here, sopes for my wife and arroz con pollo for me, and they were outstanding! Muy sabroso! The service was also great. Then, there was the dessert, which we shared: the chimichanga de mazana encanelada, a cinnamon apple chimi with a side of fried ice cream - oh my goodness! Highly recommend this small, family run place.“

“I'm so glad I finally made it to this Mexican eatery specializing in seafood after passing by it in favor of the Tokyo Steak place next door many times. We got the Parrillada de Marisco for 2 which is a grilled seafood plate containing rice, pieces of fried fish, shrimp prepared at least 4 different ways, scallops, and other items in a bed of delicious rice. It's a seafood lover's delight and will easily serve 3 or 4 (there are even larger plates available). The restaurant also has chicken and beef dishes if you're not a seafood lover (one of us ordered a steak which was also good) . The staff was very patient with our many requests for melted butter, ketchup, and milk for the kids who were foolhardy enough to bite into the grilled jalapenos (which were delicious if you took care to avoid the seeds). We left full and happy. Highly recommended and it's a great place for families.Kid-friendliness: Many families dine there and the staff cater to kids“

“Best breakfast burrito ? in a long time.Cooked perfectly.Plenty of everything in it. They are not skimpy. Fresh, hot and tasty ?!Chili quills look amazing. Next time.$12,12 for the burrito out the door price.Definitely worth a return visit.Staff was very attentive and friendly.“

“Wow that's all I can say I try multiple ? tacos great quality if you like different meats I do there tripas Mmm delicious well done an grispy tortillas a mano and there Mix tostadas the best, an I have been to multiple returants out here this one is my go to..“

“I had the pozole and the carnitas tacos. The pozole was delicious they gave me big chunks of meat and enough hominy in 32 ounce Styrofoam cups. I would get them again, I think the carnitas needed some more fat. And they didn't give me any sauce so make sure to ask.“

“Stopped by on a trip out to Mojave and picked something quick with convenience on and off the freeway and so glad we ended up here!The food was very solid, I get the same thing at every mexican food restaurant (chicken burrito with only beans, rice, and cheese) and the standout element of my usual chicken burrito at this particular establishment was the chicken. Great structure, well seasoned, perfectly cooked, and properly proportioned/distributed throughout the burrito.What really put tacos el superior over the top, however, was the excellent demeanor and customer service provided by Luis who took our order with the biggest smile on his face and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the meal.One other stand-out item at this establishment was the green sauce. Also they have delicious french fries which are great to dip in the birria compote. Highly recommend stopping by tacos el superior“

“A friend of mine recommended ND's, a spot inside the Chevron, and honestly, I was pretty skeptical at first. A gas station eatery doesn't typically scream quality, right? But this place was good!I tried the turkey sandwich; it made me pause after the first bite and go, 'Okay, this is legit.' Prices are fair, especially considering the portion sizes, which are generous without being over-the-top.I thought maybe my first great experience was luck, so I decided to give ND's another shot. And the food was consistently good the second time around.Don't let the gas station setting fool you. This isn't your average quick-stop food. It's clear they put effort into their food.“

“We just enjoyed a great meal at La Gema Del Sabor. We just stumbled upon this place and we are so glad we did. Our food was excellent and the portions were generous which we truly appreciate. I highly recommend the pupusas, particularly the birria and the calebasa con queso. My husband ordered the carne asada fries and they were the best we have had. The meat was very flavorful. The service was so friendly and kind. The music playing was beautiful and encouraging. The food will take a while because it is prepared fresh. We didn't mind that at all and we will definitely be back soon.“

“I absolutely love the food here and the quantities are good portions compared to when I visited the one in Palmdale.I like that I can receive texts when there are special promotions going on and take advantage to pay for a meal that cost a little bit lessWheelchair accessibility: They have tables for wheelchair accessibility“

“Los Compadres is a warm and family atmosphere. We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon to try their street tacos where we were met by our server and host Jessie. Jessie was a wealth of information on options to try and even offered virgin none alcoholic beverages which was very refreshing to hear. As this establishment has a new owner (George) and still under remodeling and renovations or does not take way from the food presentation and flavor. We were also greeted by George who appreciate us for coming in. We are looking forward to coming back!“

“I love this place for an unplanned on the fly meal. Choose to dine in and enjoy the atmosphere. The faces behind the counter stay mostly the same so it gives you a more personal experience. Good people here. Food isn't the usual franchise terrible duplicate like the golden “

“Love the food here plus it's close to my house and they usually stay open pretty late which is a good thing for people who want actual tacos not the ones at jack or taco bell and they have really good prices and options if you want something other than tacos“

“Omg I went for Valentine's the vibe was good, very friendly waiter. I got to sing they had open mic ? night also my strawberry ? margarita was amazing and the food was good. Met the owner Hector and he's was very pleasant and friendly had a great conversation with him. Also if you are looking for a venue for your next event call him they have an amazing outdoor area that you will fall in love with, I know I did.“

“This place has wonderful food. The portion size is AWESOME for the price you pay. The staff and service is excellent. Always a warm welcome and smiles on their faces. For a small mom and pop restaurant this place is great. Cozy and comfortable wether it be eat in or take out you will have a great exsperiance and a happy belly. They were featured on Burrows Bites on KTLA 5 Weekend Morning News. You won't be disappointed. ❤❤❤❤❤“

“I happened to go here one day looking to grab some tacos and noticed they had buche on the menu. I ended up having a buche burrito and it was delicious! I asked if this shop was partnered with the Gonzales meat market a few doors away and they confirmed it. No wonder their meats are so fresh and tasty. Love this place.“

“the food there is great and they make it fresh too. most other places will already have the carne asada already cooked and then just reheat it on the stove top but When i saw how they were cooking mine it came raw and they cooked it fresh as I ordered. you can tell they care about the quality of their meats. the lady working there was incredible nice we struck up a conversation I like it when they do that instead of just taking my order handing it to me and saying "thank you, have a nice". it makes the experience better.“

“I could only give four stars because of one thing the hostess gave a very cold greeting. The service meh. But moving forward this restaurant has great food!The happy hour is awesome. Taco Tuesday is the bomb.Unbelievable tacos 2 dollars and fifty cents. And a great salsabar.I will definitely be back. But I hope next time the service is a little better, especially with the short hostess who seems like she doesn't care that you're there or not.“

“This location definitely does not skimp on the protein. Service is always excellent, including drive through. There's an older Hispanic woman that's always cleaning the tables -- she's so sweet all the time. ❤️?Been coming here for a year now, having to always drive by two other locations to get to this one is always worth it.“

“Wonderful place been there longer than I’ve been alive and it’s a family loved tradition to visit. They are super accommodating you can call ahead they will have it ready and nicely packaged in a box for convenience! Or sit in and have a margarita and albondigas soup some of the best in town!Parking: It’s in a large shopping center with plenty of parking!“

“Fantastic food! Never disappointed! That lady can cook! Employees are always very friendly and even walk the food over to my job (if they have the people and can’t go get it myself) I always recommend to my own customers and so far everyone loves it!“
