8 Best Mexican Restaurants in Lakeside

“Love this place. I went in to pick up food for my ladies at cat&doggieworks and the wonderful lady at the counter gave me every courtesy and was very patient. Their food is great and so are they. I always order a horchata there because I don’t think I’ve had one better anywhere else.“

“They have Cabezza tacos y'all and they are great! I found this place on accident while looking for something else so that's even cooler! wish the tortillas were cooked a bit longer. Not a fan of a stiff tortilla but that didn't stop me from coming back. I will definitely stop by whenever I'm in the area. It's not some fancy Gringo ran place. It's got the proper mom & pops feel. The people are friendly and the meat is seasoned just right!“

“Fast service, friendly, good food. Best enchiladas(everything great), margaritas, over all everything was great!!“

“Very clean inside , all workers inside are very kind. There’s a very kind gentleman that i would say is mid teens named Maddux, he is super kind and helpful. The food is amazing and made with consistency every time . Would give this mexican place a 10 star if i could. Definitely my go to mexican food spot, anyone in the area looking for good mexican food should definitely try this spot out ( it’s life changing).“

“I love getting carne asada fries from here. The lady cashier is fantastic and I always appreciate it when she takes my order. I was hesitant to get Mexican food from Lakeside but Sarai's turned me into a believer, so now I come here exclusively for my CAF. Highly recommend!!“

“There is a distinct comfort in stepping up to the counter at Sombreros, where the incredible smell of grilled meats and fresh tortillas instantly sets high expectations—and the food never fails to deliver. Every order hits that perfect sweet spot of authentic, hearty flavor, whether you are picking up a heavily loaded burrito packed with seasoned carne asada or crisp tacos topped with bright pico de gallo. The ingredients taste genuinely fresh, cooked with the kind of care and consistency that keeps you coming back week after week.
What makes the experience truly special, though, is the welcoming environment created by the staff. The ladies behind the counter run the place with effortless warmth, greeting regulars and newcomers alike with bright smiles and fast, attentive service. They have a way of making every customer feel like a neighbor, handling busy rushes with genuine kindness and ease. That combination of unforgettable, flavorful Mexican food and top-notch hospitality makes Sombreros a standout spot every single time.“
