35 Best Mexican Restaurants near Lindsay

“Made a stop for lunch on the way to Sequoia and it deserves all the rave reviews! Enchiladas are my favorite Mexican dish and theirs was so good, fresh and amazing tomatillo sauce. The owner is also very friendly. His restaurant is clearly a labor of love.“

“Nice job Ruben, to you and your workers. Place has been great since your grandmother ran it.“

“Best place in town I've found so far. Will befinetly be eating here again. Having fresh condiments to add to the base burrito is a plus. The only down is size of the tortilla, it was well stuffed but after adding condiments was a bear to reroll.“

“Deliciosa la comida y el servicio impecable“

“this truly is an amazing restaurant. This is a hole in the pocket restaurant definitely a mom and pop shop. The service is top-tier accommodated for a large party with small children under four. All food came out hot delicious and well seasoned.
I had the “campachana” everything was well cooked and delicious. My family ordered the seafood Molcajete and the beef Molcajete. It was spicy, plenty of food, wash it down with cold beer. There’s children cups, soda has a free refill, they had aqua fresca. Another family member to order the deep fried fish. They gave us plenty of tortillas and chips with salsa. They have breakfast lunch and dinner plates. They got a digital music player and lots of authentic Mexican songs to play. If you’re missing some real Mexican food, this is an amazing place, amazing people, amazing food.“

“I ordered 2 tripa tacos and 2 gorditas de chicharrón. The tripas were actually good but very underseasoned. The gorditas were fried and to my surprise they had nopales which was a plus, however I could tell they were from a can and were dry. The staff was ehhh 5/10. The food was alright 7.5/10. They need to season up more and a smile goes a long way. I would come back tho.“

“Best Taco Bell ever in life. 10/10. All the ingredients were fire. Baja Blast crispy and smooth. Crunchwrap perfectly crunchy. Doritos Locos tacos taste like the Doritos of my childhood sleep overs. If perfectly flavored nostalgia came in a cheesy bean and rice burrito, they would serve that along with the cinnamon twists of your dreams in a combo. This is THE Taco Bell.“

“es económico ricos tacos tortas burritos muletas y sobre todo tienen variedad de verduras que pueden tomar al gusto y disfrutar ya que cuentan con sillas y mesa al aire libre sobre todo tienen buen servicio al cliente muchas gracias por ese esfuerzo para nosotros los clientes AAA y esas aguas al natural la de horchata me encanta“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Game-Changer of a Torta: Flautas El Bandido Delivers

I’ve been to Flautas El Bandido a few times now, and they hit the mark every single time. Consistency is key, and it certainly helps that they are the only food truck holding things down on the stretch between Exeter and home. Honestly, it’s one of the very few places in the area that I consider to be truly authentic Mexican food.
On my latest visit, I tried their Grilled Cheese Torta with Asada, and it might have just changed the game for me.

The Breakdown

The Travel Test: I had a 30-minute drive from pickup to home, and I was thrilled to find it was still perfectly warm when I unwrapped it—no sad, cold sandwich here.

The Bread: This is where many tortas fail, but Flautas El Bandido nails it. The bread is firm yet soft, and wonderfully filling. It’s not that overly airy bread that causes the whole thing to structurally collapse before it even reaches your mouth. It holds its own.

The Fillings: It came loaded with a generous amount of melted cheese, perfectly seasoned asada, fresh pico de gallo, cabbage, onion, and creamy avocado.

The Verdict

While many places make their own version of a torta, this specific grilled cheese style was a first for me. I think I’ve officially found a brand-new way to enjoy a torta. To top it all off (literally), it came with a classic pickled jalapeño on the side for that perfect kick.

If you're driving through, do yourself a favor and pull over. This food truck is a local treasure.“

“Yo los recomiendo , muy rico sazón y bien servidos los platillos, con su cebollita guisada, chili to toreado, Sebollita morada curtida, cilantro y cebolla y su respectivo limóncito y sal citas, en muy pocos lugares los sirven , muy limpio y la comida del día y sobre todo te reciben muy alegres y en cambio en otros lugares que he ido la gente mula y Getona como q pareciera q me están haciendo el favor ami…“

“Not sure what wizardry is happening in their kitchen, but holy Hera the food is fabulous. We are on the road for about 6 hours and rolled into Exeter for work late… starving about an hour before closing. Dinner was most excellent.. that potion they call salsa is fantastic… we went back the next day with our client in tow .. :-) .. but that salsa … got a tub to take home (safely cradled in its own seatbelt all the way back home). I’d say this place is well worth the drive and overnight stay in town 😎. As to what to recommend… all of it ..“

“Dear Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My family and I are on a road trip from VA to CA and back, and THESE ARE THE BEST TACOS WE HAVE HAD ALL TRIP!!!!! Estos tacos estan tan sabrosos que me hicieron llorar. Al Chile. Order the TACOS DE CARNE ASADA CON TODO. They are big. I am 5' 11" 177lbs all muscle and I barely was able to finish 4. My wife had the torta de carne asada con todo and that also was incredible and my kids the bean and cheese burritos and they could not believe how big they were! Gracias a los que preparon la comida. Dios los bendiga y Les de mas para mi nomas.“

“I’ve lived in the area for many years and would never find good Menudo! Best Tasting Menudo I’ve had Hands Down! Definitely Satisfied My taste Buds. Service was Great and Servers very Attentive. Just a Hidden Gem, Location not the Best but once you Walk in Very Inviting!“

“I just love the place..everything about them. I used to live across the street from them..I loved being that close..they're great people and food..“

“Everything was delicious. My in-laws, my wife and me were pleasantly surprised. Glad we stopped at Exeter for dinner“

“good food, good prices, just wish they were on door dash or something“

“friendly staff and quick food service“

“Very good value - I highly recommend the Burrito al Pastor. Make sure to ask for hot sauce and grilled jalapeños (both are complementary, but not always automatically included). It's also cash-only, and can get a li'l busy during normal meal times“

“Stopped by this taco truck named Jenny's tacos in visalia ordered 6 tacos an were they the best beef tacos I've had in along time an the service was awesome just a young couple starting out their business I high recommend you all to stop by an give them a try.“

“I have been coming here for years and maybe even decades. The food still tastes the same if not even better than I remember it. Only taco truck that still sells tacos for $2 each. The people are nice and they always get your order out quick. They also do phone in orders if your in a hurry.“

“Great food, fast service and good prices.“

“una muy buena abivalidad y un buen sevicio y buena comida“

“The food is how you would get it at home. The tortillas on the tacos are a little too raw for me, but my Dad loves them that way. They don't dip them in oil how most places do, so if you're going for a less calorie taco, this is the place. The meat is fresh and they put plenty in your tacos. The tortas are delicious also. They always have a variety of aguas frescas and also bottled or canned drinks. The tables have been widened so they aren't super skinny like before. You can sit and enjoy the food. It's clean and chill there.“

“Menudo is the Best in the Valley hands down.“

“Really love the remodel – the store looks so much cleaner and more inviting. The overall experience feels like a totally different vibe compared to before. The food is great, and you can really tell new management has made some positive changes. I see some people complaining about prices, but honestly, everything has gone up everywhere. I appreciate that this is a family-run business trying hard to keep things going. Keep it up!“

“Todo lo que venden esta riquísimo 👌🏻“

“Finally a great Taco/Mexican place in Porterville“
