50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Fort Wayne

“This is good authentic Mexican food. You can buy tamales by the dozen on some days. I live 45 minutes away and only visit Fort Wayne so often. Even if I am not able to eat in the restaurant, I stop in at the store. I pick up some their salsa, Tortillas, or tamales if they have some.“

“Worse Mexican food I have had in Ft.Wayne. Chips hard, stuck together tasted old. Soft drinks $3.40.“

“As a parent of a 12-year-old with type 1 diabetes who was also recently diagnosed with celiac disease, eating out has honestly become really stressful for our family. I just wanted to say how incredibly thankful we were for the kindness and care the staff showed us here. They were so accommodating about the gluten-free precautions, changed their gloves without hesitation, and made us feel completely comfortable and understood. Knowing they offer a fully gluten-free menu gave us such peace of mind. Everyone was genuinely sweet, patient, and compassionate, and it meant more to us than they probably realize. Thank you for making something that can feel overwhelming so much easier for our family. We truly appreciate it!“

“Food was delicious! Margaritas were delicious! Service was great!“

“I haven't ate here in a few years. The salsa was spot on. Lots of flavor. Waitress was very patient and helpful as we 5 kids under the age of 9. She was very attentive and refills were brought. Everyone finished their food and left full. I always get the steak in chile verde. No Mexican restaurant comes near how tasteful the chile verde is ! Thank you mi parilla for the great experience.“

“🌮 An absolute must-try taco spot! I rarely post reviews unless a place truly blows me away, but this meal earned it. I had the steak and shredded beef tacos! Highly Recommend! It's a fantastic spot for families too, we (hubby, kids and me) enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa. Do yourself a favor and check it out!“

“I would recommend this place to everyone. It was superb food, a great cozy atmosphere, and the service was excellent. 5 out of 5 stars for sure!“

“Love this place great staff and food!“

“I had the pleasure of visiting your restaurant on Wednesday December 31st 2025. The kindness we were met with was like something I haven’t seen before. The food was amazing, service amazing and the restaurant its self was so beautiful. You guys went above and beyond for me and my family. As we came to get food while another family member was getting some cancer treatments done. Thank you so much, we can’t wait to come back.“

“I was at the Cresent Avenue location with my girlfriend (Ava Zinn) and what she ordered was truly amazing. Highly recommend Mexican restaurant that she recommended for our hot lunch date on February 13, 2023. I’m sure Ava will post a great review.“

“We love the food, service and mostly because the buffet is clean!! Top notch staff and excellent food!!!“

“Real authentic food!!😋 Best Mexican food ever“

“Sooooo good! I love the atmosphere, service, space for a big party, and food!!!!! Delicious! I will be back.“

“I am in Fort Wayne, IN on business and found this gem! The steak tacos are divine! The tacos are on the small side but are FULL of flavorful steak. Two tacos filled me up. You have to try this place!“

“Visited Cinco de Mayo Taqueria attached to the Shell station in front of Menards. I have never been to either location so this was a new one for me. The food is excellent! I had the special from the Whiteboard in the store. Two Sopes served with rice and a drink. The Sopes were very good. I got Chicken Tinga and Chorizo and Egg. Both were very flavorful and seemed very authentic. The Chorizo and Egg Sope was my favorite of the two.

Atmosphere suffers at this location because it's attached to the Shell station. There are two four top tables one two top table and approximately seven bar stools/counter facing the gas station window. 😁 It's the best they can do and the location. But the food was really good. I will have to try and visit the other location.“

“Dan Chava’s is incredible! Their chips and queso go crazy, if you want to add some flavor add their chorizo! It’s incredible!
They also have very good margaritas snd have a variety of flavors too!
Their whole menu is delicious. I have never had anything that was bad at this restaurant! I highly recommend their enchiladas, fajita quesadilla and their carne asada tacos!
Side note the green sauce that comes on some of the enchiladas I substitute for queso and have them put the green sauce on the side. It is tasty but has a kick to it!“

“Forgot to take pictures of the food. It was very good. The burrito was big and the quesadilla was a good size. The kids size quesadilla was on the small size tho. My child had to eat some of mine because hers was gone quickly and way smaller than mine. Staff was very friendly.“

“I've been to Lalo's three times now. It's quickly become my favorite Mexican restaurant in Ft.Wayne. Casa Grande was my favorite, but now I prefer Lalo's. First time there, the service was good, food was okay, though not as hot as I would've liked, more lukewarm. However the second visit was better, food was hot and delicious. Ate there a third time a couple nights ago and food was hot and service was fast and friendly. I recommend the Lalo's burrito and the classic ground beef chimichanga, both come with delicious refried beans and rice. I love Lalo's~! Be advised though, Fridays and Saturdays are busy there. Best to go earlier in the week.“

“Great place!!! La comida muy buena y los fresco naturales lo mejor“

“I have used them for catering multiple times and they are AWESOME to work with!!! Highly recommend!!!“

“Tonight I had the best Nachos Supremeos I have had anywhere! Would highly recommend this place“

“My wife and I love this place! It is our favorite place to come and enjoy authentic tacos. My wife (who is from Mexico 🇲🇽) loves this place and I can light up her face with just asking if she wants to come to El Amish!! She loves the beef tongue pork and bbq. Every type of flavor they have is amazing she says. Myself, I get the marinade pork cuz I have always enjoyed it. They add a sautéed onion with the food and 4 sauces and more than enough for us. Come here if you want the good tacos 🌮“

“The food was phenomenal! The flavor was unlike any other Mexican place in Fort Wayne. We tried the Jose’s Burrito which had pastor inside and I cannot recommend it enough. The staff were very friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. We were very impressed with our visit here and will definitely be back.“

“Excellent service, clean, airy atmosphere, and very tasty food. I recently moved to Fort Wayne from Arizona (where great Mexican cuisine is around every corner) and was pleasantly surprised to find a Mexican restaurant that I would recommend to friends back home. The mole sauce is truly a 'wow' experience; not for the uninitiated, but for those who know what mole is and are seeking the real deal, give this restaurant a try. Have already been back for a second visit, and found their green enchilada also very good. Even the chips and salsa are a superior flavor.“

“Birria tacos and queso are excellent!“

“5 stars! We had a great experience at Cinco de Mayo, and I especially want to recognize Aniyah for her wonderful service. We unexpectedly had a medical emergency come up and needed to leave much sooner than planned. She was incredibly attentive and quickly helped get our orders switched from dine-in to takeout so we could get going without any added stress.

She was kind, helpful, and handled everything so smoothly during a difficult moment. On top of the great service, all of the food was excellent. We really appreciated how well we were taken care of and will definitely be back!“

“I had a pretty good experience here and would definitely consider coming back. The menu has a nice mix of different dishes, so it was easy for everyone in our group to find something they liked. My meal came out fresh, portions were fair, and the flavors were really enjoyable without being too heavy. The staff was friendly and checked on us a couple times, which I appreciated. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, making it a good spot for a casual meal with friends or family. Nothing felt rushed, and overall everything was handled pretty well. A solid restaurant with plenty of choices.“

“We always enjoy Agaves. Great service, food and atmosphere. The manager took the time to check on us and we love the authentic menu and tequila selection. Great bartender and staff.“

“Nothing better than locally owned and operated businesses! They pour their heart and soul into them making it a wonderful experience!“

“AWESOME tacos! Friendly staff too!“

“Locally owned. Fresh ingredients. Friendly wait staff.“

“I want to start by saying there are no prices on anything so either ask before ordering like I should have or be surprised with the total.
I bought one burrito, one torta and two chicken tacos.
I was also given an amazing cucumber lime drink for my first visit that was my favorite thing!
So good!
If I knew how much that drink was I’d go just for it but, there are no prices.
In total the three items I bought were $35 with no tip.

That being said the food was pretty good! The torta was pretty good
My husband likes the burrito and my son said the tacos were good but, had some pieces of fat that he kept having to put to the side.
I’m not sure if we’ll be back just because we feel what we bought shouldn’t have been $35.
I also wouldn’t have bought certain things had I known the price beforehand so again, ask before you order unlike me or be surprised.
They are very nice and friendly! I would go back if not for the prices issue.“

“exelente para celebrar tu cumpleaños“

“Wonderful service every time , the staff is always friendly!!Food is always amazing everything I had is excellent!! I highly recommend salsa grille!!“

“Best Mexican in Ft Wayne, when I come home for a visit it’s a must to dine here!!!“

“First time trying, very helpful friendly staff!!! Tasty, hot food. Will return.“

“Muy buenas 🤤🤤🤤🤤 Recomendado😊“

“Only tried the Burrito and a Chimi so far but I'll be back to try more items. Really good Mexican food. A step above the rest!“

“first timer and now new go to!. excellent food, drinks, attentive staff, great prices. free soup offered for winter that was yummy. free shot for birthday celebrated. staff was so gracious, love this cozy spot!“

“Fresh masa Tuesday Wednesday Thursday. All the masa is ready at 10am and they close at 12pm . You must call ahead of time . Sometimes there is no work so do not wait til the last min to order masa or pick ur order up. If you show up for a pick up and the door is locked ?, Call, most likely they are working in the back and if you knock no one will hear you. This place has been around for 50+years. Run by family. Used to do party orders of tortillas but they can’t now bc they are so short staffed so if you know anyone looking for a factory job. Call them 8a-12p. #supportfamilybusiness“

“This was the BEST lunch I have experienced in Ft Wayne.“

“Great food! This was our first visit, will def be back to try more of the menu!“

“Emmanuel and his team ABSOLUTELY HANDLED the catering for my wedding party of 250! My friends and family LOVED the food! Thank you for putting your heart into my big day 💓“

“Some of the best Tamales around! They were so good ❤️“

“I’m a trucker and I have been craving a burrito (specifically from a taco truck) but those are hard to find here. Found this place and I must say, MY BURRITO WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Only thing they can do better is giving a little Radish, Cucumber, onions pr jalapeno on the side and a bigger (or more) salsa on the side. The other stuff I have on my own💕“

“one of the best dishes I've ever had.“
