Mexican Restaurants near Eglin Afb

“My team and I have had the opportunity to dine at Dat Burrito Place multiple times over the past month, and each visit was a delightful experience from start to finish. I can confidently say that their commitment to friendly and prompt service is unmatched. From hearty burritos and flavorful rolled quesadillas to mouthwatering Mexican street corn, rich and savory birria, and light and crispy fish tacos, there's something to please every palate on their menu. Treat yourself and support local by giving Dat Burrito a try!“

“After going a few times it felt like home. The staff is great and very friendly.. One waiter will see us coming and have our drinks on the table in just a few minutes. The food is always freshly made and delicious. Hands down the best Mexican restaurant within 50 miles or more!“

“First time coming here and it won’t be my last. I ordered Birria, Chicken, Barbacoa, and Al Pastor tacos. 🌮 All of them were delicious however the Pastor and Chicken are off the hook! Check em out!“

“Great experience. Excellent service and food. Owner very friendly. He made us feel very special. Greatly recommended.“

“Cheapest best American style tacos in town...I Love the food here. The only thing I would say is use just a little bit more taco seasoning...But still I love this place and will keep coming back. I really enjoy the game shows are always on. Great staff and just a really humbly place ❤️❤️“

“Best Mexican restaurant in FWB imo. Truly authentic! Do not let the outside fool you - the inside is very nice and stylish. Food is amazing and not too salty. Service is great as well. I love their homemade chips - some of the best that I have ever had - light and not greasy. Salsa is just right as well. This restaurant puts all of the others to shame!“

“Yum! Enjoyed my fajitas and margaritas 😋“

“We try to go at least twice a month 👍🏻“

“Holy Guacamole — This Place Is Nacho Average Mexican Spot! To get to the main event: the quesadilla. Oh. My. Guac. This wasn’t just the best quesadilla I’ve ever had — it was quite possibly the pinnacle of human culinary achievement. The tortilla was golden, crisped to perfection with just the right amount of buttery char. And inside? A molten lava flow of cheese so rich and gooey it could’ve been declared a national treasure. Add to that the perfectly seasoned meat (I went with the chicken, but I suspect any option would be un-burrito-ble) and a side of their homemade salsa that added just the right kick — I was completely cheesed off… in the best way possible. I was also thoroughly impressed by the attention to detail — the tortillas tasted freshly made, the toppings were thoughtfully layered, and even the slaw had crunch and flavor that made each bite nacho run-of-the-mill. Service? Absolutely en-taco-ging. Friendly, fast, and full of great recommendations! If you’re looking for a place that delivers on authenticity, flavor, and an all-around good time, this restaurant really tortilla new one! In short: • Best quesadilla ever? Check. • Amazing tacos? Check. • Left in a state of blissful food coma? Absolutely. • Would I go back? You bet your guac I would. Do yourself a favor and get your taco-loving self to this place. It’s nacho something you want to miss.“

“The best tacos in Fort Walton Beach! I highly recommend visiting this place.“

“Shrimp tacos Baja style were fantastic! My husband enjoyed the ground beef tacos southwest style! Great lunch on our last day in Destin!“

“Love the salsas they are spicy and the burritos are huge and they’re wrapped so I can eat while driving.“

“Amazing Tex mex . Definitely worth it ! Pineapple salsa is to die for !“

“we love this place, it's close to our house, they make a delish paloma, food is good but golly gosh darnit ~ please teach the cooks how to fry and egg for the huevos rancheros dish!!! they simply ruin this dish when serving it with an over cooked brown (yes that is how hard they fry it) eggs ~ it ruins the dish; do not serve this dish, huevos rancheros if you cannot make it correctly, thank you“

“We come to Destin every year with a large group (about 20) and like to have food brought to the house so we don't take over the restaurant. We tried Pepper's this year and everyone loved it, even our pickiest eaters. The staff was kind and delivery was on time. We will definitely order from them again next year.“

“I had an incredible experience here. Maria was so kind and informative. I ordered a barbacoa taco and a beef Gordita. Both were delicious. The barbacoa transported me somewhere… I got another to go. The Gordita, it comes with potato. Perhaps if you aren’t used to this it takes a few bites to adjust, but I say take this as the unique and lovely food it is! I have already invited some friends to come with me again. Do give it a try! It tastes real, it tastes like home and love.“

“Thanks so much for hosting the NHS Offensive Line today!! The food, atmosphere and attention to the group was amazing!!!“

“I am visiting my daughter, I'm from Tucson Arizona and I loved my beef chimichanga and the rice and beans. My daughter and kids loved it too, will go back before I leave. I will try a margarita next time for sure.“

“Hands down best tacos! I love their asada tacos! I’m from Texas so it’s nice to eat some good tacos and burritos that remind me of home! The owners take great care of their truck and their food. If you’re feeling like tacos go here! Highly recommend!“

“We stopped here Saturday when we first got into town! Best food and best margaritas we have had in a long while. it was so good we came back Friday before we left. same experience. Everyone was so friendly and laughed and talked with us. We had a great time! They even had a gallon Margarita to go. YUM“

“please check your nessages“

“Our Valentines Day dinner was amazing!!“

“Tried this restaurant for the first time today and it did not disappoint! The menu is quite large, the ambiance is authentic and the food and margarita's are top shelf. Jonathan was our server and did a great job checking in on us throughout our meal. We will be adding this establishment into our local rotation. If you haven't tried it, you have got to give it a shot. We are Pepito's, Casita's and Chapala frequents and this place is on par or better in some respects.“

“I’ve honestly been thinking about my last visit to La Paz for days! Guacamole and top shelf margarita was delicious! My husband had steak fajitas and loved them. I had the surf and turf (snapper taco and bacon wrapped tamarind shrimp) it was awesome! Both the black beans and the refried beans tasted rich and homemade. I look forward to trying many things on the menu our next visit.“

“We finally found our go to Mexican restaurant! Our dinner was hot, fresh and fast. Queso and salsa was great. Toddler had the basic cheese quesadilla with rice and beans. I had the Pollo Bandito which was very good. The chicken and mushrooms were flavorful and cooked perfectly. Hubby had the Steak Fiesta Burrito he said it was amazing and full of flavor. Our margaritas were great too and bigger than I was expecting.“

“Amazing food, creative tastes, excitement to cook, and some of the sweetest people you'll ever encounter!“

“we had the best waitress ever she was amazing. the food was delicious also“

“we came in for a quick lunch and split a plate of grilled chicken enchiladas. the meal was delicious. chicken was tender and juicy.

i’m knocking down one star because the menu was a little sticky as well as the table, despite looking clean. our server was friendly and great though. the restaurant itself was very open and welcoming.

my experience wouldn’t deter me from coming back though.“

“Stopped in Peppers and it was all around good.. Service, Price, wait time, & Quality..“

“Came in 8:30pm doors were locked staff just staring at me and wont let me in, they need to change the closing time to 8:30pm since staffs decides to lock doors at 8:30pm“

“If there were two of these places in town, it would put Taco Bell out of business in a week. Came looking for authentic Mexican food, and found it here.

Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for authentic Mexican food. To put things into perspective, I ate Taco Bell yesterday, and didn’t even finish it. I came here the next day and almost ate the box the food came in, fr fr. 🤣“

“Los tacos de carne mmm ricos“

“True authentic Mexican . friendly staff and great soda pops . Ole'“
