41 Best Mexican Restaurants near Peoria Heights

“Great place! My family and I were in town for a wedding. Had seen this spot in the past but finally made time to check it out! It was well worth the visit!

Chris, the co-owner took good care of us! He talked us through the company history and let us taste different flavors.

Loved the Peach and Paloma flavors for nondairy options and the Oreo for the dairy flavor options! Prices were fair. Flavors were fresh.

Can’t wait to get back to try some new flavors!“

“Such good food and friendly atmosphere - will eat here again soon! 😊“

“Omgersh....that was the best chicken burrito I have ever had! Just be careful of the juice dripping down! You'll want to eat that too. Eat it over the delicious chips and salsa! The salsa has a kick, but it's a kick that adds to the flavor! Definitely recommend. Worth the trip downtown.“

“One of the best Mexican restaurants in the area. I've been there many times.“

“unfortunately, I am sitting here watching my son get sick from his meal at La Fiesta. Tonight is the third time someone in the family has gotten violently ill from their food. I do not know what happened to this place but, it went down hill very quickly. I would not recommend this to anyone. We will never go back again. My boy had the hamburger only and this is what he is getting sick off of. The chips had dried salsa on them tonight. they used to have the better food in the area and now you cannot say that.“

“I definitely prefer Pancheros to similar restaurants. The carnitas is always amazing, I can’t imagine getting a different meat, and I’ll end up craving it again after I leave.
However, there are a few cons I’ve noticed. Though it definitely feels like the workers are doing their best, they’ve made mistakes every time I’ve come. Little things, nothing that can’t be overlooked and obviously nothing that turns me away, but it’s a little disheartening to have something go wrong each time.
The music is usually louder than necessary, which makes it difficult to have conversations and can be overstimulating.
If you come during a dinner rush, expect things to be a bit more dry, messy, and hurried, but if you come later in the evening, things are much better and the atmosphere is more relaxed.
The last con is the price. One burrito, chips and queso, and a drink was nearly $20. It’s a large burrito of course, but that still puts a dent in the wallet and makes it a little harder to want to come back.

Dietary restrictions: A friend I brought with me can’t have gluten, and the employees were willing to change their gloves and accommodate him. They have salads and bowls, so if you have a gluten intolerance, you can still find something to eat here.

Parking: Plenty of parking, even on a Saturday night.

Kid-friendliness: There aren’t many kid-oriented food options, and there isn’t any sort of entertainment for them. It’s just a restaurant.“

“Love Lorena's! It's definitely one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the area. The food is so good. Free chips and salsa. I've never had a bad experience here. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Food comes out hot and tastes fresh. I highly recommend giving it a try!“

“Excellent food and service“

“Great food,Great staff,Great prices I Loved it“

“Being raised in Mesa AZ, this place is so literally refreshing. The steak and chicken tacos will literally cleanse your pallet with just onion, cilantro, and a bit of cheese. Very important that the meat is fine and crispy and both the chicken and the steak is every time. Get the kids a cheese quesadilla which is very thick and filling and there’s no reason to go anywhere else nearby. Lots of various candies for the kids too.“

“The food is make traditional and healthy and fresh by orden , the a atmosphere is beautiful and confort good for big party or celebration any o occasion the service is very friendly and we try the best way I can make good food experience.“

“One of my favorite places to eat“

“good portions ablittle cold with no way to heat so better to be able to take home for extra heating mostly nice people lots of teen age hires so be patient

Dietary restrictions: be careful with a make line no way to rule out cross contamination for allergies but clean overall for food preferences ingredients all separate

Kid-friendliness: it's more of an adult food bar set up like subway make your own bowl picky kids probly won't love

Wheelchair accessibility: has wheelchair ramps and blind friendly sidewalks but semi dangerous busy area to bring blind people to because of how busy would recommend take out , for people who become over stimulated
doors are kinda heavy, and the buttons are super slow and have been broken before“

“Mariachis is the best dining experience ever! We come here every week and the service is impeccable and it’s more fun every visit than the next we highly recommend coming here!“

“Just had a massive burrito so tasty and loaded up with meat and all the fixings the service was great and the food was great

Vegetarian options: I'm not a vegetarian now but I was for a while and I was also vegan and they've got options for both

Parking: Plenty of parking and easy to access“

“I custom ordered a birthday cake and I got the exact design I requested! It actually exceeded my expectations, the attention to detail was perfect and all add ons (flowers, glitter etc) 100% edible, not too mention great taste 🩵 Great customer service, speedy response, will continue to shop with them and recommend to everyone ✨“

“Easy to find, plenty of free handicap accessible parking and entrance. Restaurant was clean, well stocked and smelled amazing. Our order was taken promptly by a courteous well trained person at the counter who put our orders together correctly and quickly. Good times. Thank “

“While I did arrive in the drive-thru with only 8 minutes left before the restaurant closed, they took my order and made it for me with a smile. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious, as it usually is! I appreciate when I come across employees that are in a service industry, and yet they still smile, are friendly, and seem to be happy to be at work. It's refreshing these days too see that unfortunately. Thanks, Taco John's!“

“Excellent food! Definitely recommend!“

“Great day for eating outside enjoin the Sunshine good food and great margaritas“

“For a Taco Bell, it's pretty good. Loved the stone parking lot.> Quesadilla were not warmed enough to melt cheese. Everything else was as expected. Friendly employees and watched an employee wash their hands thoroughly after restroom. So that is a big plus!!“

“I just want to say that I had great service! I ordered my online order and pulled up to Taco Bell and they were so busy I waited 30 minutes which was fine because they were so packed and when I got to the window they made me fresh food without me even asking it was so good really appreciated the workers“

“Every time I go though the drive through: Autumn (who I believe works the drive through register) always speaks very clear and is always serves with a smile. I’ve never have had a bad experience when she is working. I wish more places had workers this “

“this was my first time eating here and customer service was amazing but the food was the ⭐ the prices was reasonable I definitely will dine in again“

“This is the taco bell to go to. Great food, great staff. Always clean.

Dietary restrictions: My son is a pretty picky eater and they go above and beyond to make sure his burrito is exactly how he wants it

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly“

“Picture this, it's busy - a line wrapped around the drive thru and out into the road. The line moves quickly. The employees are friendly. Especially the girl at the ordering box/window. My cheesy gordita got a little smashed but everything else was hot and well made. Thanks guys :)“

“They got my order wrong on gas for three soft Taco Supremes and a burrito supreme I got to the window and they said well you didn't ask for tacos supreme so it's going to cost you an extra $2.30 so this time at Taco Bell they sucked“

“We popped in for a party pack. Staff was quick and friendly. I got there after the dinner rush, and there was no wait. Except we had to pause because I hadn't transferred money. The girls were nice and patiently waited while I straightened that out. THANK YOU GIRLS AND GUYS! We had a great experience.“
