13 Best Mexican Restaurants near Punta Gorda

“Sit at the bar. Or in our case, grab chairs at the beach. Walk to the tiki hut-- no waiter service -- order your drinks, return fifteen minutes later for food you may have ordered. And enjoy the view. Now that we're Floridians -- at least in the winter -- this seemed like a lovely way to spend the day. The place is casual, laid back. A musician was singing Jimmy Buffett-type songs. Not all that hungry, T and I shared a burger. Pretty good! Medium rare -- as I like it -- with lettuce, tomato, onions and crisp fries. Our pina coladas were light on rum, but enjoyable. Not worth complaining. Sit back and relax.“

“Thank you to William our server. He made our mother's birthday a great success. William thank you for your kindness and attention to details during our visit. It is a time our mother will never forget.Parking: Easy access to los mariachi. Parking is free“

“This place is a gem considering the location. I had an awesome experience!! Juan was my server and I couldn't have asked for a better person to serve me. His attentiveness and bartender skills were well appreciated!! I travel alot and have spent over 2 years in New Mexico , so when I say the food and service is awesome. Better believe it!! Thirsty? Have the biggest margarita you can get!“

“Staff is incredibly burrito-tastic! My nephew gave them a challenge of too many toppings in his burrito, and they made it work with a larger tortilla, no questions asked! This team is awesome. Sam and Meah are taco-riffic ! Our favorite burrito shop ever.“

“Loved this place. Good tortillas that we can seem to buy anywhere in Port Charlotte. They told us they get them from a supplier in Fort Myers. Typical TexMex. I had chicken Verde Enchiladas. Lots of chicken, no cheese inside and a bit light on the sauce, but the flavors were all there. My husband had fajitas, loved them. I had enough for leftovers so the portion was generous.“

“I never thought I would eat at a food truck, but these guy's are amazing, the food is awesome. I get the shrimp burrito and it's the best I've have. owner is so awesome. second time I've been there but intend on going back again and again!!! try it you'll love it!!“

“this is a long overdue review. Back in September the El Guero team catered my daughters last minute wedding of 60+. We greatly appreciate this hard working family and their delicious food! They have been our go to trucks for years and love that Paul and Daisy now have their own special truck. They did an amazing job at the wedding and highly recommend them.“

“Nothing is better than celebrating a friend's birthday but Angie and the staff at the Pink Tequila made the evening extra special. Everyone was friendly and the atmosphere is fun and festive. Definitely don't miss a chance to enjoy their fried ice cream! (Bunny hat and birthday song are optional)“

“Best tacos I've had in a long time. Well worth the 25 minute drive. They even stayed pretty hot on the way home! They told me about 10 minutes for 4 steak tacos, and came out pretty much as I sat down. That was the fastest 10 minutes I've ever experienced! Amazing food and friendly people. I will definitely be back. Might even make this a Friday night dinner for every Friday“

“Real good food, very authentic. Careful when you order your margaritas, you may accidentally end up with a fish bowl you cannot finish lol!! Tacos are really good too! The salsa could be spicier but still good. Also, it was a little disappointing that they don't have elotes or tamarind margaritas. But will come back, food and service is great!“

“If you want to know if a Mexican restaurant is truly authentic cuisine, you simply have to ask for several dishes. If they have them, chances are they are truly authentic. You can ask for "coctel de camarones" or "menudo" for example. Well, Plaza Mexico has these and many other superbly delicious examples of Mexican cuisine. You want to give them a try.“

“This place is fast and the food is delicious!! I wanted to also express how impressed i was with the staff (all of them) !! Rachelle has been kind and also so understanding.. She caught me crying outside and just kept it moving as nothing had happened while delivering my food. I have spent the last 13 days dealing with my mother who had a severe car accident. Sarasota hospital is a crossed the street. She has been kind and a breath of fresh air!“

“Simple outdoor food truck with great mexican food. First time here and im always after a Torta. These guys had a version i had not had before. This one had Carne Asada, refried beans, egg, alvocado, tomatoe, lots of good cheese, onion, and jalapeños and maybe more but it was gone before i could look again. It was too good. It was a little bit more expensive than others but worth the price.“
