29 Best Mexican Restaurants in Lafayette

“I was meeting a friend for lunch and waiting outside of the restaurant. A couple came in that it was apparent that they had been out in the cold for awhile. The gentleman asked if I knew how much a cup of coffee would be? They shared some of their struggles and lack of funds. I wasn’t sure they served coffee. I entered Nom Noms and asked the waiter. He said they only have coffee on Sundays but they would make some. The couple asked if they had tea, they were given some iced tea. Nom Nom staff allowed the couple to sit down for a good hour, to warm up and enjoy not only one cup of coffee and tea, but refilled their cups a couple of times! Well done Nom Noms! Thank you for your hospitality to this couple!“

“always love coming here to el mason. the absolute best margaritas and they make the food HOWEVER you ask for it and i mean HOWEVER. the staff is super nice and welcoming and always on task at the exact perfect times it seems. the wait is never long, both for seating and for your food and the prices are outstanding even with this economy. if your dish isnt out in less than ten minutes then you can come pimp slap me. outstanding desert selection as well. i have been coming here all my life since a kid and i cant think of a time ive ever had a bad experience. i would like to personally thank my server alfredo for hooking me up with a free dessert. churros on the house! oh did i mention theres free desert for doing a google review and a facebook story post? safe to say im eating good every week🤤“

“El Molinos has become our favorite Tuesday tradition! 🌮 The food is consistently delicious, the atmosphere is lively and welcoming, and it’s a place we truly look forward to each week. You can tell they care about the experience just as much as the food. Highly recommend!“

“super nice people and the best mexican food i’ve had in lafayette!!“

“Beautiful interior decorating, all from Mexico if I’m not mistaken. And the tacos are 100% authentic. I loved what I ordered: carnitas, al pastor, and lengua. Absolutely delicious. The service was courteous and friendly. Highly recommend.“

“The food is delicious when you can get him to make it correctly. When ordering ONLY this and that on tacos, it shouldn't also include the other ingredients you specifically asked not to be put on it. This is a constant issue that doesn't seem to be fixable in my case.“

“Today, I ordered Menudo and tacos. I honestly think the tacos were the best I've ever had. Highly recommended.“

“This place is now called Andies. The place is like a fusion of Waffle house and IHOP in a old diner setting. Classic setting. Reasonably priced and appears popular with locals. A must to visit and try their pancakes and other delicacy. Nice staff.“

“Got the Fredy's Torta and it was excellent. Kind and friendly service, definitely going back for more. Worth the money and more than enough food; plus I didn't get a side but I will next time.🤩“

“Fast service, waiter was friendly and when we asked for something he was like no problem, went and got it and back to our table, our food was delicious but couldn’t eat everything, asked for a to go box. Not bad priced.“

“Order the wet burrito! If you want good food fast, pull in here. The whole family enjoyed it. We tried steak taco and chicken taco wet burrito and more, being our first time there. It won't be our last time there! Service was helpful, friendly and fast.“

“This is my favorite place for snacks in food in Lafayette.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place before. I would give this place a 10 out of 5 stars if I could. It is one of the last bastions of good, reasonably priced local food in Lafayette. The owners are so kind. They recognize us when we come in and are super accommodating.

You can really see the hardwork and dedication that went into this business. While they might be a little slower than a McDonald's, their quality is unmatched by anything in the area.

They are known for their Mangollada. It's delicious. The mango sorbet is homemade. The fruit is always ripe. One time, the owner felt that he didn't put enough sorbet in my cup so he gave me an entire extra scoop for free.

Our favorites to order are the Mangollada, Fresas con Crema with vanilla ice cream, Al Pastor Tacos, and Tostiesquites.

I wish I had better photos of the food but we always start eating it before I remember to grab a picture.“

“Another hidden gem, this is really hidden inside of a grocery store lol. We were in the area and stopped by to pick up some ingredients for home and noticed they had a little restaurant inside. Definitely authentic Mexican food and affordable. Food looked so good we forgot to take picture and dove right in. $20 for 2 tortas, 3 tacos, and 2 drinks. (Alot cheaper than fast food and ALOT better taste). Definitely keeping this place in mind next time in the Lafayette area.“

“Great place for a bite of quick 'build it up cafeteria style' mexican food. It's comparable to the other similar style mexican foods in the area although I like the selection of salsas as well as the bag of corn chips that come with the order. The employees were friendly and welcoming too!“
