20 Best Mexican Restaurants near Shalimar

“ABSOLUTELY delicious! The tacos are absolutely amazing. I consider myself as hard to please when it comes to tacos and this place has consistently and repeatedly high quality, fresh ingredients and great flavor. Definitely try their tomatillo sauce on the tacos...“

“Great chili Verdi. 4FEB23, Los socials no rice or beans, salad in place. This is the best dish. Really not a one note dish. I do recommend this place. 15Jul23, ordered there dish called Los Socials which continues to be their best dish of a variety in each bite! This breaks away from 1 note dinners! I now ask for grilled veggies instead of rice and beans.6MAR24 I requested a Hauraches with Carnitas which are a traditional Mexican dish made from a thick oblong-shaped masa base topped with refried beans, meat, cheese, and salsa. the dish with foil is the picture of it. You will not find this in a typical rice/bean mexican dish; this is the whole dish- I call it the mexican pizza.“

“This is the best food truck I've ever been to. The owner is so nice and friendly. They have very reasonable prices. We got the beef pazole. It was so good. I've never had it before. We also got birria tacos, a shrimp taco, and a al pastor. Al pastor is my favorite when it has pineapples. It was so so so good. Had a good selection of jaritos and Mexican coke. They have a small inside eating are which I think is genius. Inside is the sauce bar. Thier hot sauces are hot so be careful. This place has 5 stars for a reason. Be sure to stop by.Parking: Not a lot of parking.“

“Grabbed some take out via my own DoorDash app(not everyone that orders via DoorDash is DoorDashing). Taco salad was legit and the food was amazing. They did miss my full bag of chips add on; but that’s ok.Ps. when I’m scooping my 3rd side of hot sauce because I didn’t get what I asked for (hot salsa on the side); don’t ask if everything is ok like I’m steal hot sauce after leaving a cash tip. It’s ok. ? the ladies working the order were hustling and were awesome! ?“

“This establishment is fantastic! Right from the moment you step in, you're promptly greeted and seated. The staff is incredibly helpful and courteous. My family and I were impressed by the service, and the food was delicious, bursting with flavor. We'll definitely be returning!“

“This is a taco truck in the parking lot of Beach Weekend pontoon rental located on hwy98 across from Captain D's.I like trying "new to me" authentic dishes. I ordered the Quesabirria tacos. Very good beef and trimmings along with the stew is amazing! I got the spicy salsa and wow! I still want to try the hot as well though just to try its flavor.Please visit this truck, you will not be disappointed! Very friendly staff, accepts cash or card. I believe this is my go to and no more than two blocks from the hacienda! I definitely tip my sombrero to the family recipe and the cook that makes it happen. Well done!!“

“Fresh, tasty and quick. Priced well and good service. We had a combo of burritos, quesadillas and tacos with our 8 person crew. Everything was great and everyone was happy, which is hard. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Will definitely be back!“

“If you want AUTHENTIC Mexican food, try this place!!! Maria and her grandfather ran the front of the house. She explained the menu to us and helped us choose our Cinco de Mayo meal(It was our first visit). Our meal was scrumptious and Maria was spot on. We will definitely be back. Support local small business.“

“While visiting I try to always eat local and stay away from chain restaurants. This place is amazing. We ate inside but you can drive thru the building place your food and beer order. The burrito with beef and shrimp was very flavorful. I do feel they were stuffed just a bit too much because they exploded out the other end and I ended up eating it all with a fork because I couldn't get my mouth around it all and very messy. That being said because it was so good will definitely recommend and return. We stoped on a Thursday for lunch and they remained steady with business even after 1. Staff was very friendly.“

“This place is 10/10. I travel and eat at many cantinas. This is one of the best. They have a great atmosphere, decor, and music. Indoor/outdoor seating.

“Went there for lunch on a whim. We’ve always struggled to find decent Mexican food around this town (we have high expectations since growing up in CA). The food here was excellent. Everything tasted great, they even offered us complimentary wine. 2 for 1 margs were well worth it and the service was great. One of the very few Mexican places in the area I will return to.“

“We had such a great experience here today! We downloaded the app and got a free trio appetizer with unlimited refills. What???? We loved it. Our kids devoured it.The minute we walked in, the staff was so friendly, helpful, and attentive. Our family felt welcome and cared for. The food is good and the queso is bomb. Only wish the lettuce wasn’t bagged lettuce but I’m a lettuce snob like that?. Prices felt more than fair. We look forward to coming back!“

“the food is delicious! authentic and perfect steak and pulled pork with the salsa options on real street tacos and the shrimp ceviche tostada was fresh and satisfying. kid approved as well for our vegetarian daughter with an impressive number of vegetarian options. It was so good and so worth it for the drive to eat some REAL food!“

“Sorry no pictures I ordered Chipotle chicken tacos to go. Yummy tacos and their chips and salsa were also very tasty. The chips were light and crunchy! The taco's were packed with shredded chicken with a yummy sauce on them.Tasty eats for cheap!!! I definitely will go next time I'm in town!!“

“What’s nice about this restaurant, is it’s not a chain. It’s family owned and the food has flavor and authentic. The salsa is made in house, and as a result the peppers vary. So we never know what to expect, which is nice. We had the vegetarian fajitas and tacos. Both well priced and the fajitas come with plenty of toppings on the side. Their house margaritas are always 2 for 1. Karen & Doran were great services, they stay in contact refreshed or drinks and chips as needed. It’s a great family atmosphere for dinner.Vegetarian options: We had problem adjusting our steak fajitas to a vegetarian dish.“

“Food was very good. I enclosed pics. I got the seafood enchiladas and wife got flautas 13.And I think worthy of mention, the restroom/ washroom was cleaner than any Mexican restaurant that I’ve ever seen. Cleaner than most restaurants period.Highly recommend this place.“

“Was staying at the Holiday inn and they provide a 10 percent discount if you show your room key there. They had 2 for 1 draft beers and they were very big. I also got the Pollo Loco, the portion size was very good and the chips & salsa/queso were very good. Very fair priced and the service was quick.“

“Hothead is our absolute favorite place for lunch or dinner and on our very first visit to this location Rachel was incredibly nice! She also made sure to let us know about the rewards app, which I can't believe I've been missing out on. Can't wait to come “

“Paige gave us the best service we have experienced on Okaloosa Island! Very friendly & knowledgeable regarding the menu & offered great suggestions! We will be back & will recommend to our friends that vacation here! Highly recommended!“

The atmosphere is nicely designed and the white leather chairs just give it an extra pit of comfort and welcomeness.The staff has always been so kind and caring.We all love the food and are multi repeat customers. I hosted our #22 lunch social here recently. Everyone loved their food as always.Great indoor and outdoor space.Vegetarian options: I love the Puff Taco with some Chulula sauce and salsa on top.Parking: Plenty of parking all the way around the building. Large parking also in the back.“
