6 Best Mexican Restaurants near Waukee

“We love this restaurant! We live closer to the Clive location so we order from there all of the time, both dine in and take out. I recently also had them cater a Saturday lunch at work for us and they knocked it out of the park! Eddie is a phenomenal asset to this restaurant. Always friendly and helpful. Great rewards program as well. Highly recommended!“

“Blue Agave, the Mexican restaurant, truly deserves a five-star rating. From the exquisite food to the captivating decor, including stunning mural art, every detail contributes to an amazing atmosphere. The lively music invites you to dance, while their flavorful margaritas are anything but watered down—unlike many other places. The food and service were exceptional, and I was particularly impressed by the presentation of the churro and ice cream that my friend requested, even though it wasn’t on the menu. It was remarkable. You really need to experience it for yourself. Everything about the place was beautiful, from the clean bathrooms to the incredible theme that permeates every corner, even down to the to-go cups. Blue Agave is not only awesome but also incredibly fun. I thoroughly enjoyed my entire experience and highly recommend that you visit. Five stars—I've yet to see a cooler restaurant in the area than Blue Agave! Nichole Aubert“

“Los Tres Amigos in Waukee is hands-down one of my favorite local Mexican spots. The atmosphere is always buzzing with energy, and the staff makes you feel like family the moment you walk in. The chips and salsa come out fast (and warm!), and the margaritas? Absolutely on point - especially the mango one! I ordered the carne asada tacos this time, and they were bursting with flavor and grilled to perfection. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and everything tastes freshly made. Whether it's a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner with friends, Los Tres Amigos always delivers. Highly recommend if you're in the Waukee area!“

“I always have great food and drinks and service at this restaurant. They always go above and beyond for their customers. I even noticed this evening, they have these really neat table side holders for people that have a baby seat or something similar. It was really cool and convenient for the young parents. It’s one of my favorites in the area. I highly recommend!“

“While on a road trip, we needed some Taco John's (not available in our part of the country). Off I35/I80 (west), exit 125, head west for nearly six miles (boo!) on US Hwy 6 / E. Hickman Road. Tricky getting to it in strip mall facing the highway; watch out, the parking lot is tight. Good, prompt service. The four cheese quesadilla was prepared just how I like it, with no sauce. Those potato oles, too die for!“
