14 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants in Tallahassee

“drove to Tallahassee from Valdosta, GA, for a shopping trip, and a good friend recommended El Rey Tacos & Beer. I’m so glad I stopped by! This place instantly transported me back to Mexico. I had the best torta I’ve ever tasted, the bread was perfectly fresh and soft, and every bite was bursting with flavor. It’s hard to find something this authentic back home in Valdosta. I also tried their aguas frescas, and they were incredibly refreshing and flavorful. My 10-year-old daughter ordered tacos and surprised me by eating four! She said they were the best tacos she’s ever had.This place is absolutely worth the drive. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend for anyone craving true Mexican flavors!“

“I highly recommend that you stay away from this establishment. After being a regular customer for years, I was turned away rudely a full hour before they were supposed to close. I mentioned that them deciding to close an hour early and affecting my plans didn’t make me want to come back and I was told “OK, goodbye.” I have never felt less appreciated as a longtime customer. Correction…a former longtime customer.“

“I love this place for drinks 🍹 and food 🍱“

“The piña colada’s are excellent 👍🏻👍🏻 And the food was yummy. The “presentation”of the food and drinks was also very nice 👍🏻 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😋😊 I was also impressed with the salsa which was good. ✨We will definitely be back ❤️✨“

“Food is fresh and delicious always. Employees (Owners and All) are Amazing! It doesn't matter if they are serving 1 person or 100 people, they seem to treat you as if you are their favorite customer.“

“I was WOWED by the service of our family’s waiter, Takoda. Despite handling a giant table of near 20 people, he ensured all of our needs were met and we never had to ask for a thing! We were all so impressed and can’t wait to return to Chili’s because of him!“

“I’ve been coming to this place since 2021, back when I was in college, and every time I’m in town I always come back. The food is consistently great, and the staff are always super nice and friendly—even when I haven’t visited in a while and there are new team members. The restaurant has a really nice outdoor area that’s perfect for hanging out with a group of friends, and the inside is also cozy and welcoming. Overall, it’s a cute spot to grab some drinks and good food. They also have BOGO margaritas at great prices, which is a huge plus!“

“I absolutely love Moe's on Mahan in tallahassee. They always get my order correct and it's absolutely delicious. I usually order online. I love this because I can select what time I wish to pick it up and it's always ready and warm when I get there.“

“Perfect 5 stars all around. Walked in the door, immediately greeted with a hearty “Welcome to Moe’s!” by every worker within view of the door. As I went to order, the young man behind the counter was extremely exuberant and appeared almost excited at the mere opportunity to take my order. I ordered a bowl with seasoned rice, chicken, black beans, sour cream and queso. Simple, yet perfectly elegant just to my taste buds’ desires. I was very satisfied with the portions of my rice chicken and beans, however when it came time to pour my queso, I was left with nothing but satisfaction, allowing me to debate whether I even needed sour cream to
make my bowl creamy enough. Absolute 10/10 would order again and I will definitley go out of my way to return to this Moe’s just because of the pleasure and satisfaction I left with tonight. I came in with 12 dollars and left with whimsy and a full stomach. 1/6/26 8:24 PM. The bowl that changed my night, and date that changed my life.“

“Great experience friendly staff“

“Food was great. The store was really hard to locate as an out of towner passing through. But I love Moe’s and would hunt for it as it is soooo worth it! 👍“

“2 for 1 Margaritas $11 delicious!“
