9 Best Mexican Restaurants in Gulf Breeze

“Another fantastic lunch at Rika s Tacos; absolutely delicious.“

“Papa Loca is the best baked potato I've ever had in my entire life. I will be dreaming of it until I return. Camilla is an amazing server.“

“We have visited twice. Both times, we had great meals. The wait staff were friendly and efficient. The only thing missing was a feeling of being welcomed when we walk in the door and smiles on the faces of those who work there.“

“My daughter and sister wanted to eat Mexican food on our recent trip to Pensacola. Mariachi’s showed up as the nearest restaurant to us and I’m so glad that it did. My daughter and I had the fajitas for two. It was perfectly seasoned. In fact, that was the best fajitas that I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to travel back to Pensacola to eat there again. I definitely recommend. ❤️“

“Food was suuuuuuper delicious. I got the Al pastor tacos and my daughter got a chicken quesadilla. Food was fresh and packed with FLAVOR!! Great customer service. My daughter said they were very cheerful and friendly. If you’re in the area give them a try I suspect you will not be disappointed.“

“A Huge Thank You to Taco Mama! 🌮💛 As both a teacher and a parent at Gulf Breeze Elementary, I just had to share how touched I was by the generosity of Taco Mama — they provided free lunch for our entire school staff on Monday! It meant the world to all of us. Teaching is a labor of love, and simple acts of kindness like this remind us that our hard work is seen and appreciated. As a parent, it was especially meaningful to know that a local business values the people who care for our children every day. If you’re looking for a place to grab a delicious meal and support a business that gives back to our schools, I highly recommend Taco Mama. Let’s show them some love right back! 🌮🙌 #GratefulTeacher #ProudParent #SupportLocal #TacoMamaLove #CommunityMatters #TeacherAppreciation“

“Hey locals..fair warning.check your receipts and don't support businesses who don't support their patrons. Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE to support small businesses. When food costs are extremely high, I still support The Eatery, and we try to eat at one of the food trucks once a week or every other week. When guests come, we bring them up to the Eatery every time. Today, we went to eat at Aztecas Tacos. We go frequently, and there is one young woman who isn't particularly friendly. We ignore it because you never know what people are dealing with. Tonight, we order 4 of the same meals. I even make it easy, making them all the same. I pay and then wonder why my bill is so high. I ask the gentlemen how much each plate is. I wish my Spanish was better, so I was able to communicate, and I even stated that. But being that my Spanish isn't, the young woman comes, and I ask her (mind you, she seems already irritated). She tells me, and my math in my head isn't any better than my Spanish skills lol. So I sign and leave a small tip. I don't even have to tell any of you, I don't get mad at mistakes...fix it and I'm good. Life is too short. However, I get in the car to wait and do the math, and it isn't adding up. I'll just ask. I wait in line and then say "hey I'm showing that my meal would have been $20 a plate when even with taxes, that's not right" Oh man.I think she made assumptions that I was mad and I wasn't at all..if body language could talk...welp it did and she came at me pissed and perturbed and says "yeah he charged you for 5 plates..." I say "oh I only ordered 4.." she cuts me off, still defensive and pissed and says "yeah we know.." I say "um were you gonna let me know that? " she says."WELL I'm telling you now" When I say if she could have cussed me out, she would have. For what I don't know....so I decide to try to fix it and ask "hey I don't know what's going on or why you're mad and being rude.." she cuts me off and says "NO you're the rude one" I was actually taken aback like am I talking to a gas lighter or in an alternate universe..Now I'm embarrassed and now I'm pissed. I try again to fix it by saying "Hey I don't know why you're mad...I live in the neighborhood..." She is now even more pissed "SO,. So do I and I'm not mad..you are!" And that kind of went on with me trying to say she was, and then I just walked away because she was going to stand there and smirk and argue...I was not. There are more details. But listen....I don't often tell people not to support local, but enough is enough. To be that defensive and assume others are mad automatically when asking a question about being overcharged makes me wonder: 1. You overcharge often and dont like people questioning it or "catching" it or 2. You really don't care about the business you receive or how you treat people. Either way, they are both wrong.“
