48 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!“

“Food was great and Baylie was awesome! Ask for her next time you go!“

“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! 🌮🔥“

“I had such a great experience at Pink Agave! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming — perfect for a night out or a relaxed dinner. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried had that perfect balance of authentic Mexican flavor with a modern twist.
A special shoutout to our server, Allison, who truly made the evening memorable. She was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. From great recommendations to keeping everything timely, she made us feel right at home.“

The food was tasty and expertly prepared. It was clear that ownership and management care about having a trained and professional staff with excellent food. It is definitely good value for the price.

“If you like Mexican food and you have not been to Queso Mexican restaurant, I don’t know what you are doing with your life. I’ve been going for a few years now and the food, service and margaritas are top tier. Consistently superb. 4343 S. Sherwood Forest Blvd Baton Rouge, La“

“I always order the TexMex chicken enchiladas for take out since they don'thave fountain drinks. Portions are generous and the food is great. My only complaint is if you pay by card the card service they use wants your email address which they sell to other merchants.

Parking: Conveniently located in a strip mall.

Kid-friendliness: Family oriented. Restrooms available.“

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

“Came from Texas to watch my first LSU football game. Stopped here before hitting the road back home… this place is amazing.

This is Rio Grande Valley-level of taquerias. If this was in Austin or San Antonio, it would be on types of lists.

Salsas are on point, everything was super fresh. They have some Honduran items on the menu as well. Their papusas were excellent and I cleaned up on their Platanitos Fritos.

They had the best crispy tripas I have ever had. I would 100% recommend this place to people looking for a great taqueria in Baton Rouge.“

“I just visited for the first time today, and I will definitely be back. The service was fast and friendly, and the food (ground beef burrito) was excellent!“

“Love it food was good will come back“

“Came for tacos, stayed for the chaos behind the bar. Kyle, the bartender, made me a drink so strong I complimented a ceiling fan and Venmo’d my ex $20 “just in case.” Watching him mix drinks is like watching a raccoon do magic—confusing, loud, and weirdly impressive. Ask for his “signature cocktail” if you want to question your life choices and hear a monologue about his gym routine. 10/10, will emotionally recover soon.“

“The BEST Izzo’s location hands down. I travel amongst New Orleans to new Baton Rouge often and make this stop frequently. The evening staff, and management is top tier. They go above and beyond and the food always tastes fantastic. I recommend every time! (Shout out to the team on 8/19!!)“

“Best Mexican restaurant 😋 in LA. Louisiana.“

“Awesome authentic Mexican. Some of the best I've had. I didn't go for a while cuz there aren't many good reviews. Don't let that stop you - there are always cars at dinner time. I've had tripe and barbacoa tacos and a papusa so far and its been excellent. I plan to come back.“

“✅✅✅✅✅Excelente servicio y la comida súper riquísima rico sabor buena presentación un lugar muy agradable ✅✅✅✅“

“Great food, cold beer and nice atmosphere. Birria tacos are top notch. New owner is nice and will make sure you are taken care of.6/9/23Ordered 2 carne asada tacos and 2 shrimp tacos. Asada was great as usual but shrimp was not. I questioned if shrimp was cooked and they felt cheap and flavorless. I’ve had much better from here in the past. Still a great place to eat though.“

“Good food. Nice size portions. Great prices.“
