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!“

“This was a wonderful experience. My server (Alfredo) was phenomenally kind. I traveled from West Virginia and this was my meal right before going back home. I come back to town every 2 months and I will absolutely be back.

I ordered the Burrito Carnitas and it was PERFECT. It was just the perfect amount of flavor! I did leave off the guac but that was due to my allergy to avocado.

Thank you so much for this experience!!!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“great authentic Mexican food!“

“We went in on a Saturday for lunch just after noon. The restaurant is beautiful. You can tell they spent a lot of time and effort into making it stand out. This is also carried over into the food. It was very good. We got carnita tacos and chimichangas. The pork and chicken were well marinated and not dry. Full of flavor. If you like your food tasteless and dry, this is not the place for you. We will be back however!“

“Toda su comida está deliciosa, y el mejor trato de las meseras, lo recomiendo 100%“

“We catered Mitchel’s Mex for our wedding food and it was AMAZING!! We have gotten so many compliments from guests about how amazing the food was (specifically the steak, chips, guacamole, and queso). The catering service was top notch also!! The food stayed hot the entire time. Highly recommend using Mitchel’s Mex if you are wanting tacos/nachos for your future wedding!!“

“Everything is delicious and has good portion sizes! ♥️“

“The chain on the gate broke. I called them, and they solved the problem within 2 hours; I took two quotes, and theirs was better. Now, the work was professional. I will recommend you. Thank you.Service: General repairs & maintenance“

“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.“

“Fantastic food. Nice staff. Great specials :) Our go to spot on Wednesdays.“

“My husband and I go here often! it is our go-to for the best food and amazing salsa! Being vegetarian, they have the most and best choices for me. We love everything about it!“

“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.“

“Great food, check out their daily special. Thank you!“

“Had the most amazing experience eating here. The environment was amazing the staff were amazing for a new restaurant I highly recommend it. Price was right and the food omg way Absulutly amazing“

“Best tacos in town! Must try!!“

“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.“

“I think it was Jonathan that was our server. He was so kind, checked on us a few times to make sure everything was okay , and was quick with his service. It was also his birthday! Happy Birthday Jonathan!“

“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!“

“Amazing service! Jamie was fantastic! The food was delicious! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
