36 Best Mexican Restaurants in Boulder

“Outstanding 😊 Heart and palate warming. Beautiful balance and creativity on the plate. More mezcals than you could shake a stick at. I'm glad I asked our server for a recommendation based on what I know and liked. We also had some very good French cabernet with the meat. Top service. Thank you.“

“Food is delicious ❤️ House margarita is amazing!“

“excellent food...different food choices and quality food“

“La Catrina is the place if you’re looking for delicious Mexican food in Boulder.“

“This family owned and operated restaurant is a must visit. The food is so tasty and flavorful. Using organic corn, they hand make their own masa. It really pays of in the flavor or their tacos, gorditas, and quesadillas. The veggies are locally sourced. The meat is roasted and cooked to perfection. The prices are also very affordable! At the time of this review, they did not have their liquor license, but we were allowed to bring in our own beer, which we brought in from a local brewery. The goal is to have margaritas and more once they get their license. I highly recommend this place, for lunch or dinner, for a date or for the family. I will be sure to return. *No photos of food because we ate it too fast, but it was super yummy! We tried the chips and guacamole, the burrito with barbacoa, and and combination plate. Even the rice and beans sides were delicious!“

“Lovely place, so are the servers!! Their foods and drinks are super good, love their Nutella crepes and their pozoles🥰“

“For experiencing a taste of authentic Mexican food, don't miss Mojo taqueria in Boulder or Lyons. The food is delicious, the service is wonderful and the ambience is so cozy! Thank you for a wonderful dinner experience with our family!“

“This place is amazing. So far everything has been so good . The food the service. After looking at some of these comments how people can't post their own opinion have to copy and paste unreal.... Glad I didn't come to these comments before I tried this place“

“Not your typical Mexican but way better! Highly recommend because of the food and great service!“

“Just had my first experience of T!aco. Fresh, consistent quality food. Flavours off the chart, service friendly quick and on point. Very reasonably priced. Great atmosphere and the guy who runs it treats you like a long lost relative. Just perfect. Great night. Well done“

“Hands down the best flautas I have ever had.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my food at mister oso! The location is great and right across the street from campus. The service was thorough and fast. Roz was my server and she was very attentive and kind. The margaritas were amazing and the birria tacos were delish! Will definitely be back!“

“I came here with a few friends planning to enjoy a couple of happy hour margaritas… and somehow it turned into one of those unforgettable afternoons! 😄

What started as “just one margarita” quickly became two… then three… along with some delicious food that we definitely weren’t planning on ordering—but we’re so glad we did. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfect to share.

The best part, though, was the atmosphere. The staff made us feel so welcome that by the end of the evening we were chatting and laughing together like old friends before heading to another spot. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel comfortable, can relax, enjoy great food and drinks, and create unexpected memories!“

“GREAT chips and salsa! My wife had a taco salad, and I had enchiladas.

If you are from the north, east, or northwest, you will likely love this restaurant's food. If you are from the southwest, I would recommend the chips and salsa, and maybe bring with you a bottle of your favorite hot sauce to give your dish some flavor. If you are from the south, well, I dunno what to tell you.

The service was excellent, and the prices fair.

I would go here again, because excellent Mexican-ish food is quite difficult to find in Colorado.“

“An absolute menace to my self-control 🤤 This place is divine. A shining star in my life. 🌮✨

Every single thing I’ve had here has blown me away. The tacos? Classic street taco with mind-blowing quality. The breakfast burritos? Day brightening goodness. I've been here 5 times this week. I have problems, but it's so good and affordable! Even their burger ROCKS!“

“I would recommend this restaurant for someone who never had Mexican food ever, its dishes are really good. I had the Queso Del Mar, great plate to have with tortilla, it’s just that the cheese was really hard to pull. Also gave the Green Chile Soup a try and it was perfect for the rainy day outside and just warmed my whole body up. The Strawberry Margarita was interesting, not my favorite mocktail but still worth a try!“

“Best taco around and the rest of the food is amazing come check out the team in Boulder“

“Good food. I especially like the Asado fundido tacos!“

“The service, the food and the atmosphere was fantastic. They even have snake on their menu !! too afraid to try it but I really recommend this restaurant.Beautiful atmosphere with outdoor seating when the weather is nice. The wait staff was kind and attentive and the food was delicious.“

“sam is amazing and has checked in on us multiple times and we are having great service!“

“Fantastic new offering in Boulder. Friendly, fast service. But above all, probably the best taco truck in the area. Buche and al pastor tacos are fantastic. Double tortillas, bit of lime, roasted chile, and some delicious caramelized onions.“

“Got to VIB in Denver last night. Stopped up to McDevitt Taco Supply roof top restaurant and bar. Happy hour was in progress. Sampled 4 different tacos. All excellent bursts of flavor. And the MTS staff and owners are excellent. This is what a first class experience is supposed to be.“

“Awesome tacos! go check this place out! the asada taco is amazing!“

“delicious food, friendly people, festive atmosphere, indoor and outdoor dining“

“A chic food hall on Walnut Street, this sleek Boulder venue features diverse global culinary concepts, craft bars, and a scenic rooftop patio. Artisanal empanadas, fresh ramen, gourmet burgers, ceviche, wood-fired flatbreads, espresso, and craft cocktails headline the menu. A bustling, stylish vibe awaits guests.“

“This food is the bomb.com!“

“This place is such a hidden gem in Boulder. Always friendly people with delicious food that comes in good portions. I normally get the al pastor tacos and they’ve never failed me. If you need some good food in your life, head here.“

“great food, wonderful drinks, our new favorite in Boulder!“

“Please open a restaurant in Longmont!“

“The Illegal Pete’s Hill location is always a fun spot, whether you’re grabbing food with friends or stopping by for a quick bite. The staff are super cool as well. The food is great too, and the burritos are a really good portion for the price—they’re filling and packed with flavor. Overall, it’s a great place to hang out, get good food, and enjoy a fun atmosphere and in my opinion is better then Chipotle.“

“great beef burritos and chicken tacos“

“Best taco around and the rest of the food is amazing come check out the team in Boulder“

“I've been to this location many times, and I have loved it every time. I came in earlier tonight for my favorite item on the menu... The chicken queso burrito, and it was just as delicious as ever. The staff are very friendly and attentive, and the Service was great! I also love the free style coke fountain. I would most definitely recommend this location. The Service and staff are always great, the food is always tasty, the dining room is always clean and inviting, and the music is always cool. Looking forward to my next visit �“

“Every Illegal Pete's location is delightful, but this location is my favorite. The staff is impeccable and if you want an infinitely better version of Chipotle, this is the place to go! Their Tuesday BOGO for healthcare workers and educators is an absolute must.“
