50 Best Mexican Restaurants near North Fort Myers

“Great food, Wonderful wait staff, margarita was ON POINT!💯“

“Had an amazing lunch at La Fondita this afternoon. My husband and I both loved our meals. Also devoured the chips and salsa placed at our table. The salsa was sooooo delicious and fresh tasting, could not get enough! So good. I had the chicken fajitas and it was a huge portion. My leftovers were used for my supper and I still have some left! My husband had a shredded beef chimichanga and said it was amazing. He also had enough to take home as a second meal. The service was impeccable. Super polite, kind people. Food came out very quickly. We for sure will be back.“

“Habaneros Mexican Grill North Ft. Myers Fl Stopped by here on a Saturday night at 6 ish. Place was not that full, and we got a booth right away. This place is clean, neat, and decorated beautifully inside. Our waiter was Johnny on the spot with our drinks and food orders. My wife and I both ordered the Pina Loca which consisted of a Grilled Pineapple filled with Grilled Chicken, Steak, Shrimp, Bell Peppers, Onions, and Tomatoes topped with melted Cheese. On the side was Rice Beans, Lettice, Sour Cream, Guacamole and Tortillas. Our friends ordered the Fiesta Bowl with Steak, Black Beans, Picao De Gallo, and Ranch Dressing. We had a table full of Nachos and Salsa for our appetizers and when our main course dinners came out, they looked amazing. All our food was very good. All was very hot and plenty of it. They did come by and refilled our chips and Salsa. Our waiter checked on us many times. Our friends got the Fried Ice Cream for desert which they said was very good, but I was to full to try any. This was a great experience for all of us. The Food was good, hot, and service was spot on. FYI, they do have a Mariachi Band every other Sunday night and they have an outside Patio if you wanted to dine outside. You must put this on your stop by list you won’t be sorry I know I wasn’t. I must give this place a 5 out of 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Follow Me ON FB For More Reviews & Fun Gulf Coast Terry“

“If anyone comes across this review and you’re in the mood for a barbacoa burrito ,Gordita , sopes, or a torta then PLEASE go here. Amazing food! The green and red dipping sauce that he makes is one of the best in this area and is ALWAYS fresh. Just a heads up that the red one is SPICY“

“Great food and friendly service.“

“Buena atención Muy ricas pupusas“

“El mejor Food Truck del area . Se los recomiendo 100% la comida es excelente y el trato espectacular .“

“Great food, great prices and Super friendly service!“

“Love this tacobell. Its so good and they do a good job with food. However, the inside for din in eating, is depression. What happened to cushioned seats? Why is it so unwelcoming inside. We eat in our car or take it home since the inside dinning room is so unwelcoming. But other then that, the service and food are top shelf for sure.“

“Very nice restaurant! Very good food and service! Be hungry, they serve a ton of great Mexican food!“

“Great food and service.“

“Our waitress Teresa brought drinks and chips and salsa within minutes of sitting down.
The food was also extremely quick, and well prepared. I got the fresh guac as an appetizer and it was really well made, fresh and tasty.
I got the Mahi tacos, and they were delicious as well.
The portions were large, and the margarita was delicious.
Teresa did an amazing job, and checked on us frequently.
I'll definitely be visiting next time I'm in town!“

“(And truly—if I could give more than five stars, I would.) We’ve dined at Hacienda Jalisco Bar & Grill twice now, and both experiences were absolutely outstanding. The food is beyond delicious, truly authentic Mexican cuisine from start to finish, including their incredible desserts. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, full of flavor, and made with genuine care. The staff is consistently friendly, welcoming, and professional. Both times, I asked the hostess/waitress for her recommendations on the house dishes, and both times she hit it out of the park. Her suggestions were spot‑on and made our meals even better. On October 9, 2026, we had Jose as our waiter, and he was fantastic. He has a great personality, stayed on top of everything, and brought a wonderful sense of humor each time he checked on our table. His service made the evening even more enjoyable. One of the things that truly sets this restaurant apart is the owner. She regularly visits tables to ask how your meal is and genuinely takes the time to get to know her patrons. It creates such a warm, inviting atmosphere. You feel like you’re eating with family. It’s the kind of neighborhood restaurant where you immediately feel at home. Hacienda Jalisco Bar & Grill has become one of our favorite places, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. Wishing this establishment all the best! (NY Friends)“

“I want to thank the owner for donating lunch for teacher and staff appreciation week to the school District today 5/9/25!😊🤗“

“Absolutely the best food truck we’ve been to! The food was delicious and the service was outstanding! Jose treated us like we were dining in a 5 star restaurant. Wish we could steal him and add him to our Joe’s family“

“Went out tonight and had really nice dinner with the family the food is amazing from seafood to warm dishes. For sure the place to try if you want Mexican food! Thank you taqueria San Julian!“

“Excellent lunch for the 3 of us. Would recommend this little family owned restaurant to everyone. Homemade taco shells and a nice little homemade hot sauce to go with them. Wife got Fiesta Plate that was large enough to put her to sleep. Would definitely come back. Thank you Rosa.“

“local limpio Excelente servicio y la comida muy sabrosa“

“Always good but last night they’re out of cinnamon chips so I asked do 2 churros instead and that didn’t happen either we never got them“

“Fun atmosphere!! Great for sitting and watching downtown life. Food was amazing!! I love watching them cook tortillas from scratch (kind of)😜. Staff is helpful, friendly and FAST!! We will be back!!“

“I have been coming to this restaurant for 9 years and it never disappoints. The chicken tacos are absolutely amazing and the guacamole dip is hands down the best I’ve ever had. Everything always tastes so fresh and authentic. You can truly tell they care about the quality of their food and service.

Another thing I really appreciate is how clean the restaurant always is, especially the bathrooms. It’s rare to find a place that stays this consistent for so many years. This has become one of my favorite comfort spots and I’ll never stop coming back. Highly recommend!“

“So freaking good!!! So much flavor and meat! Thank you!“

“excelente comida y servicio“

“Fantastic 🤌 Authentic! I'm a huge fan of their lunch menue. As a full size man, I can order a lunch meal that taste great for less than I would spend at Taco Hell. Not to mention, feel better about it later. I Highly recommend 😎👍“

“Lisa was amazing today! Busy bar but still on her game while I was watching the game! Love the atmosphere. Johan I believe the manager came by and made sure everything was tip top. Will be back for the FOOTBALL games! And delicious food and great drinks.“

“Best nook in the wall authentic mexican food so far. For the last 20+ yrs it has been the best mexican food I would recommend. I've seen staff growt to speak 2 languages to help customers make their order simple. I only hope the front counter staff smile a little more. Be pleasant, not look so sad.“

“Buen servicio ,buena comida“

“We were very pleased with our cabinets that were built by Cartright and Sons. Everything turned out beautifully. I even tasked them with making a large square dining room table that I absolutely love. I would highly recommend this company.“

“This place is the 8th wonder of the world. I don’t want to live in a world without Taqueria Jalapenos!“

“GREAT food, great service. I cannot believe that I did not know this was on the corner !!! We will be back for SURE !!“

“We had Chelly as our waitress, she found our fav bartender Ishmael, he makes the best “Classico” for my husband!! She makes the best table side 🥑 Love this place!! Some of their staff have been with the restaurant for years you can tell. Thank you, see you soon Michelle & John from SW Cape“

“Great food, affordable and fun staff. We were served by an incredibly funny & charming gentleman who goes by the name Costin. He made our latest visit to this fine restaurant so much more enjoyable. Thanks to all the staff for the amazing food and warm atmosphere. We've been coming here for the last 5+ yrs and never tire of it“

“good“

“The chips and salsa set the stage, with hot salsa, reg salsa, Pico, and sour cream. Tasty margaritas with the lunch special. The only downside I would say and its partially my fault for sitting near the bathrooms (unintentionally) is the strong smell coming from them, likely cleaning product but its not good. Otherwise its a good spot to eat.“

“We have been dining at this restaurant since it first opened in Cape Coral. After a mixed beginning with inconsistent meals (5-star/ 3-star). When the Proprietor, Florencio, came on the scene the food, service, decor and everything you want in an authentic Mexican restaurant quickly caught its stride and El Tarasco (and its new daughter restaurant over on Hancock Bridge Pkwy) is our "go to" restaurant for Mexican food. 5 Stars!“

“The two servers very friendly and generous girls the food the best of the best my respects the music all the best our server after bringing our food very attentive and always smiling she was very attentive and the best was that chicken flautas plate the best I have tried.“

“Great food, great flavor, good portions. They work hard here and it shows in the quality of the food. Been here many times and never a bad experience. People complaining about the price of the steak should buy meat at the store more often. Ground beef is now $12.00 a LB“

“Chef Mitchell did a phenomenal job on making my Mexican experience come alive again. Living in Arizona and trying to find authentic has been hard. The food was on point and Priscilla was a wonderful bartender/host/server.! I highly recommend anyone that enjoys authentic Mexican. Food to try this wonderfully decorated good vibe establishment. Thanks for a good time Rene and Priscilla!!!!!! I shall return !!!! Gracias!“

“This food truck has the best burritos in all of Florida!! Honestly my favorite one is the steak and chorizo every bite is very flavorful and you can tell they use fresh ingredients, the elote in a cup is also fantastic very delicious. They are are good with timing they don’t rush the food so it comes out hot and looks great, Helena was very helpful and kind since I don’t speak Spanish fluently she was patient and helped me with my Spanish.“

“All very good.“

“The woman who prepared my food was very nice and super respectful. She also looked like she had a lot on her plate at the moment but still gave excellent customer service despite it. If I'm in the area again with a hankering for mexican tacos they'll be my first choice.“

“We were tired and this looked like a great restaurant but it was so delicious and definitely worth another couple of visits! We loved our homemade house margaritas. The food was delicious and fresh. The salsa and chips with cheese sauce was yummy I had a great shrimp dish. My husband lived his dish too. Margaritas were so good we had two!!! We would go here again for sure!“

“The food is very very good. The tortillas taste very authentic & definitely are made from scratch. I like that my food stays hot by the time I get home. Food truck atmosphere so not a lot of seating or parking. The cooks are busy ladies, overall I enjoyed the food! Definitely my go to when I dont have time to cook.“

“The best tacos and pupusas I’ve ever had!“

“This is a little hidden culinary gem.
Located a few yards from intersection
Food is so delicious, that for sure you want some more.
They prepare food with dedication, plenty of flavor and care.
Service from attendants is warm, gentle and brings you a nice feeling of family/home appreciation.
For sure, I'm coming back for more.“

“Visiting from TN and stopped in for lunch. Food and service was excellent! We visit Ft. Myers every year and will definitely be making an annual stop at Monarcas. Fresh high quality food, drink specials, and wonderful atmosphere. Couldn't ask for more! We sat near the bar and Carlos was amazing! Stop in, you won't be disappointed.“
