42 Best Mexican Restaurants in Baton Rouge

“I tried this place out recently after seeing it in BR for the longest time. My husband and I ended up at Floor & Decor, so I convinced him to try it with me. Let’s just say…. He found an excuse to go back without me since that day. Food was HOT, FLAVORFUL, hefty portion for the price and great service. I am personally looking for a reason to go back as soon as possible. Probably best I’ve had in BR to date!“

“Torchy’s Tacos never disappoints! The menu is full of unique, bold flavors that go way beyond your typical taco spot. Every taco feels like it’s been crafted with creativity — from the perfectly seasoned meats to the fresh toppings and their signature sauces that tie everything together.
The portions are generous, and the quality is consistently top-notch. I especially love how they balance classic Tex-Mex favorites with fun, outside-the-box combinations that you can’t find anywhere else. The queso is a must-try — rich, creamy, and seriously addictive.
On top of the food, the atmosphere is lively and welcoming, with a cool, laid-back vibe that makes it great whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or hanging out with friends. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and the service is quick even when it’s busy.
Torchy’s has definitely set the bar high for tacos, and it’s one of those places you’ll find yourself craving again and again. Highly recommend! 🌮🔥“

“A fantastic place with amazing service and wonderful people! The food is very delicious and the best salsa in town! Not too much cilantro and just spicy enough to give you a tingle! It's a mix between Mexican and Cajun rather than your normal Tex-Mex“

“Loved Lovee loved my visit there! Great vibe and atmosphere. Chips were so fresh and great texture! And loved the bean dip that went with the salsa! I ordered the grilled shrimp and veggies for a healthy meal option and it was full of flavor and did not disappoint! Make sure you order the rum drink that comes in a glass pineapple with the piece of aloe… soooooooo good!!“

“The birria taco special is a must.

These tortillas were classified as corn, but I can tell you, they were next level, as they were not gritty or grainy like regular corn tortillas.

Freshly cooked, which resulted in a world, wind of textures. Crispy, tender tortillas, gooey melted cheese, tender beef, fresh onions, and parsley.

The salsa Verde was excellent, perfectly seasoned mild fresh tasting.

The consumé was excellent wonderful flavor.

I ate at the picnic style tables out front.

Jarritos drink selections. The owner came out herself and asked if everything was OK, which it was. She was very personable and a hard worker.

Check this place out.“

The price was amazing and cheap. Customer service was great. This isn’t Tex-Mex. This is authentic Mexican cuisine. Would definitely come here again next time I’m in town!“

I would recommend these to any and everyone who loves tacos as much as I do“
