50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Silverado

“Welp! As the owner, I have to say it’s a sweet lil spot with great food on the weekends and a perfect spot to pick up anything you need during the week. A great getaway from the madness downtown and a place to reflect and be grateful.“

“great place to eat. service was great“

“Crave worthy. Wait in this line. The food is soooooooooooooooooooooo good!

Simply delicious! If they add real hortchat, you will not want to go anywhere else!
I recommend everything on the menu!
And, do not bother taking it out or getting it delivered. Just come eat here and enjoy every fresh bite.“

“My family has been in love with this restaurant for years. We usually went to their other location in Rancho Cucamonga but they closed that location. We really love this one too but is everyone knows, the 91 freeway is not pleasant. The drive is also longer but sooo worth it. For the longest time, I rarely had Mexican food because everything has onions in it. A lot of restaurants already put onions in everything so asking them to take it out is impossible. Luna Modern Mexican Kitchen has the most wonderful fajitas and they can make them without onions, so I'm obsessed. The cilantro lime dressing is out of this world and their salads are so delicious. No matter what my family orders from the menu, I know it's going to be wonderful. The enchiladas, the tacos, the pasta and the firecracker shrimp is so so good. The sauce from the firecracker shrimp is addictive. I don't like salsa because there are onions, I dip chips in the firecracker shrimp sauce. Their desserts are so good too. Amazing everything, if you have not eaten here you are missing out.“

“They catered our monthly event we call "Together" at Calvary Chapel Pacific Hills last night and all of their food was fabulous! I wish I had known about them for my upcoming Fiesta event in May at my mobile home park. Well I know who will be catering it next year: TB!!!😋🥰😃“

“OMG we were looking for somewhere to have lunch outdoors, and bam came upon this amazing place! The food was spectacular, margarita flight off the hook! And topped off with the Butter Cake...I'm in heaven! George was one of the best waiters ever!! You've definitely gotta try this place!!“

“Wonderful experience at Carmelita’s Kitchen in Rancho Santa Margarita, I feel like we spent the day in Mexico having an authentic meal with a fantastic lake view. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the service really made our visit special.

A huge shout-out to our terrific waitress, Hannah. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Jose, our server, was also fantastic—hardworking, courteous, and always right there when needed.

Great food is important and excellent service makes you want to come back. The Chef, Hannah, and Jose definitely did that for us. Thank you all for making our meal so enjoyable. We will definitely be back!“

“Our Women's Group meets there monthly and we always have fabulous service and the food is delicious!! They bring out the entire staff to sing, dance & play instruments for Birthday's and gift framed photos. Fun, family atmosphere!!!!“

“Great service and very clean“

“I live in Irvine, CA but our two local Baja's have closed. We have a remaining one but the food, service and atmosphere is 1 star. They charge for chips, sauce and are begrudging with any product.
We drive to Mission Viejo to the Baja on Alicia Parkway and it is wonderful. The staff are warm and friendly and the service and food are great. Worth the drive.“

“Great service and great food. Fast and friendly. I loved it!!“

“A wonderful evening at Todos Santos with my wife. We were greeted by Daniel the owner and chef extraordinare who took us to a very nice table in the outside patio. We started off with drinks which were made by one of our favorite bartenders Jaime! The other bartender of choice is Francisco who had the day off. Kenya was our waiter and was superb, very personable and professional. We each ordered the appetizer salad which were so good. We spoke with Daniel about the fresh fish and decided on the Sea Bass for my wife and I ordered the Salmon and lobster plate. These two dishes were amazing upon presentation and even tastier than they looked lol. I must say since we began dining at Todos Santos from when Daniel took over this place has blossomed this restaurant into the best Mexican cuisine in Orange County. With multiple awards to his credit Daniel has new menu items that he creates regularly and now opens after hours on Tuesdays and Fridays with a DJ and dance floor. On Saturday and Sunday the restaurant serves breakfast from 10 am to 2 pm and the dishes are delicious. Make a reservation and ask for Daniel. Let him know George sent you. Great place, great food and amazing people! Highly recommended“

“The service was out of this world. We called ahead to have our food ready. Since we only have one hour lunch. The food was ready at our table and chips and salsa. Me and my pharmacist were speechless and felt very special for that service. I will be going there every time I’m in Corona.“

“Local and delicious. The staff are friendly, food is hot and fast. The place has refillable soda, free tortilla chips and wifi. This neighborhood favorite serves Great Park, Lake Forest and local business with delicious Mexican food. Jasmine was very patient with my numerous questions and helped me craft my perfect breakfast burrito. A Mexicano Burrito with Shredded Chicken and added avocado. I love places like these because it isn't somebody just heating up sysco food in the back. It's an actual cook and usually a family who can make food using the ingredients available to them. So as long as you're willing to pay and to talk, just about anything is possible.“

“It’s our favorite place ...“

“Love it. Will be next Tuesday“

“My go-to taqueria in south OC. A plethora of homemade salsas, personal bags of chips go with every meal. They often have eacabeche carrots and limes that you just have to ask for, but no extra charge. All of the employees are warm and inviting and very helpful. I LOVE PERLAS!!!!!!! Ps get the chicken mole soft tacos on taco Tuesday, you will not regret it!!!!“

“Came Up To Work In The Area Today To Repair Some Horse Trailers And I Was Told By A Local Resident James Lacono Megan Coltrane And A Couple Of Others. What an Amazing Place. The atmosphere was incredible the outside seating area look very relaxing. It was busy when I was there so I chose to sit inside nice tables lots of TVs. The staff was amazing and the owner was a very nice lady. I apologize. I forgot her name but she thanked me and it was just a great time. I will definitely be back.“

“Steak quesadilla was extremely chewy and greasy so I sent it back and still got charged for it. Took 30 minutes to receive check and 15 minutes to get credit card back when it was not even that busy“

“I had never eaten there but I had 2 grilled mahi mahi corn fish tacos & they were delicious! But each taco had 480 calories 😳😳😳 Cost of good tastings food I guess??? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️“

“In the last 2 decades, I've seen this place be a Chronic Tacos, Perlas' Tacos and now Taco Time. I stopped there today. I ordered the Torta Pastor. It was excellent! The crew was very good. The place got pretty busy right after I ordered. They're doing things right.“

“The Chile Relleno Burrito!!! Oh and Horchata!!!“

“Our family loves Celinda’s. Most of all we love the food! They have the absolute best chile verde in the city, in the state, in the country! Just THE BEST! Our kids love the enchiladas! The owner/master chef always comes out to say “hi” and ask how the food is! He’s such a kind man, deserves every bit of praise for his absolutely great cooking and his personality and how he leads his business! Please visit and support this locally owned business it is worth every penny!“

“If I could give 10 stars they would get it! I rarely go online to write a review, and if I do it’s because I had a horrible experience. I wrote a positive review maybe twice in my life here’s my third. Start with the cashier, I really can’t say I ever had anyone serve me with a better attitude than the guy who helped me and I say right by the register and he kept that amazing attitude with all customers. At first I had 3 chicken tacos from the taco Tuesday deal (which I might say isn’t cheap, but quality costs) which were surprisingly good because I don’t love shredded chicken. The chicken was so good I decided to get an asada one as well just to make sure they really are as good as it seems. They crushed it, asada taco came to over 7$ after taxes and it glad to say I’ll be happy to pay that price anytime anywhere to get that same taco!“

“Wonderful authentic mexican food. Mama even came out from the kitchen and asked how we liked her chili Rellanos. Yeah, they are homemade, fluffy and delicious. Our Bible Study meets there every month to celebrate birthdays as we've gotten to know the staff and owners pretty well. Good people.“

“Fresh seafood and excellent service Delicious!“

“Was pretty good, loved the verde sauce and atmospheric grit. Was at the Hollywood Heritage Museum book sale today and saw the original vintage photos of the place. Very cool!“

“Fish tacos are amazing. Order the plate with beans and chips and order a side of guac! Salads, tacos and more. Delicious and healthy options. The service is good and a clean restaurant.“

“One of Corona's older Mexican restaurants serving excellent food, burritos, tacos and other Mexican specialties. This restaurant has a small dinning area with some benches outside. Was here on a taco Tuesday afternoon and it seemed too hot inside so we enjoyed our tacos outside on the benches. The tacos are like home made the best in the area you get 3 tacos for 7.99 which is an excellent deal. There's plenty of parking. Restrooms are outside and you need to ask for the key. Recommend this establishment for some excellent Mexican dishes.“

“There was 7 of us in town for a conference and we stumbled upon Hole in the Wall Burger! Burger was delicious the service outstanding and special sauce of the chart’s. Next time I’m in the area I’ll definitely be stopping by and have a burger!“

“food is honestly 100% authentic Mexican. I drive from orange just to get my menudo. service is great always friendly.“

“My hangout, healthy choices and some items under $5 while earning points ���“

“Had trouble finding the restaurant since it’s located inside a liquor store. Burrito was not cheap, not expensive either, but was huge. For the price definitely got my money’s worth. Good burrito, good value. Didn’t get a chance to try different dishes.“

“The best chicken ever loved it“

“Where do I start with this place! Great food, great service, and amazing welcoming staff. Their lobster burrito was different to my palate but very delighting. Creamy delicious creative food. I’ve been to many places to eat and have never sent a review, but Taco Mesa hit it on the head for more. Fun Mexican food that makes you feel good about what you’re eating due to the healthy fresh food! Will definitely be back very soon.“

“Good food and great prices. They have 😋 yummy street tacos and good juices. Great customer service as well.👌👌👌👌“

“Best Mexican food in Lake Forest. The price and portions are awesome, too much food you might say. Taco Tuesday specials are a hit. Mexican Coca-Cola available along with Aguas frescas options. The owner is very friendly and polite. Definitely a hole-in-the-wall treasure in Lake Forest. Give them a “

“Great ? ? ? ?“

“Everything was an absolute 10/10! I highly recommend this place—it never misses! This was my second time here, and I absolutely love this location. The customer service is always great, and the food was amazing as well. And let's talk about my waiter! I unfortunately didn't get his name, but we were seated in the outside area, and he was taking care of almost all of us. He did such an amazing job! He was very kind, respectful, attentive, and truly on top of everything. I have nothing but good things to say about him. His service honestly made me want to keep coming back even more!“

“Wow!! The amount of care and service they provide even during a rush is astounding! The cooks were working together to get meals out timely and the front counter crew were restocking, taking orders, and neatly plating the food. My partner and I watched in awe. Despite a few people being a bit impatient (I mean you can look at their packed screens) they handled it phenomenally. Food was amazing, perfect amount of toppings on the tacos, tortillas were at a great temp, really good guacamole with our chips, and at a really great price! Hope to try out some more items from the menu! Cheers to the crew here at Lupe’s Mexican Eatery in Lake Forest! You are the best!!“

“So delicious and great portions. Can’t be beat for authentic Mexican food!“

“superior“

“Excellent old school Mexican food.Our family hasn’t had a single item on the menu that wasn’t fantastic.Lucky to have this restaurant in Corona.“
