35 Best Mexican Restaurants in Boulder

“What can I say that hasn’t already been said? I think this is the best restaurant in Boulder and I don’t say that lightly. The sweet potato appetizer is truly a unique experience. We just had small plates and didn’t even order a main course. Going here for happy hour is a great trick. They have great small plates for $8. I give this place my highest recommendation.“

“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 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“

“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!“

“Stopped to get gas and saw this taco truck nearby. Decided to try it based on the other reviews. It did not disappoint, those were the best asada tacos I have had! Great prices & excellent customer service. Food was ready hot and fast. I will be coming back here every time I’m in boulder.“

“Food was amazing. Everything we ordered was delicious. Service was ok. Only 1 server doing register, take out, tables, and bar for inside and outside seating. Place gets busy fast which is understandable considering the amazing food. Definitely recommend hiring more wait staff, otherwise great atmosphere and fabulous food.“

“​We had a flawless 5/5 experience at Pedro's! The food was incredibly tasty, with great portions and excellent value. The restaurant is spotlessly clean, has super fun decorations, and offers a fantastic location with nice outdoor seating. What really stood out was the staff—they were friendly, highly attentive, and incredibly accommodating. Highly recommend, we will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“Great place for a group, rooftop is amazing but the lower level is nice too. Also good selection of vegetarian options (with some that aren't super spicy as well) and they also can accommodate celiac/gluten-free. Noise level depends on time of day and location, it is a relatively big restaurant with different sections.“

“Please open a restaurant in Longmont!“

“This food is the bomb.com!“

“Absolutely loved our meal at Santo! Everything was flavorful and perfectly spicy. Best meal we had on our vacation.“

“We always love coming to Rosetta Hall. The atmosphere is always nice and the food options are great. We came here for the holiday cocktails and the holiday decor and it didn't disappoint. A chunk of the downstairs was taken up by a private holiday party, so we couldn't sit in the main dining hall. But that was totally fine, because the employees made sure we were comfortable where we were sitting and service was still attentive.“

“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“

“La Choza is an authentic Mexican fast casual restaurant in Boulder with delicious food. They catered our wedding brunch and they were absolutely fabulous. Accommodated an early pick up time and made tacos for over 50 people. Couldn’t recommend them enough!“

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

“great food, wonderful drinks, our new favorite 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 �“

“Awesome food all around and even better staff. The shop was layed back but really efficient and the food is so fresh. The food is like chipotle on steroids. As long as I’m in Boulder I’ll never go to chipotle while Illegal Pete’s is open.“
