28 Best Mexican Restaurants near Madisonville

“I tried this place right after it opened and didn’t love it so unfortunately, I waited many years to try it again. Yesterday, I had a to-go order and I couldn’t believe how delicious it was. The shredded chicken empanadas were cooked to perfection. Even as to-go, it was perfectly fried. The shredded beef tamales… amazing. They are doubled in size compared to other tamales and so flavorful. The shredded beef taco, great!! The homemade tortillas didn’t hold up well with to-go orders but that’s not the restaurant’s fault. I truly was so impressed with everything I got. I will certainly be back, many times over! ❤️“

“Food/service great - need to do something about the flies.“

“Bang Bang Shrimp were so delicious!“

“Me and my family had a fantastic time, especially with Zane Jaramillo as my server! Not only was the food and atmosphere great, Zane was very attentive, and was always on top of things. Overall, great experience thanks to the wonderful service!“

“We have been about 6 times with friends and everyone loved everything we tried. The food is fresh with multiple layers of flavor. The negative ratings are about service or wait times. (Which we have not had a problem with) But the food is what matters! I recommend the poblano rice and plantains as sides. Nachos as an appetizer or entree because it is not a hunk of cheese melted on old repeatedly fried chips we find everywhere else. The guacamole is the best I have ever had. But, as a dessert gal, I have tried them all and there is not one I would not get againm(hint: the chocolate cake with flan on top is my favorite)“

“Lago’s food is always fresh and authentic. Try the street steak quesadillas, they are addictive! The molcajete is a must to experience. It arrived in a huge cauldron of roasted meats and veggies with cactus! Absolutely delicious. The service is always great!“

“This was my first trip to this specific location and the food was incredible just like their location in Denham Springs. I’m not in that area too often but when I will be I’ll definitely consider coming back.“

“Great place to eat if your hungry for authentic Mexican food !! Service was excellent; the staff were very friendly and attentive and we didn’t wait very long for the food to be served. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, you won’t be disappointed. 🤟“

“This was my first time here, and right away the atmosphere felt welcoming. The décor is colorful and inviting, and the staff were friendly and polite. The outdoor patio was beautiful too — I especially loved the water fountain.

Now, onto the main event: the food. I ordered the beef burrito topped with queso, along with rice, refried beans, chips, and salsa. The burrito was flavorful, with well-seasoned beef, and the queso complemented it perfectly. The beans were creamy with just a touch of cheese, and the rice was solid and satisfying. But the salsa really stood out — it had a nice sweetness from the tomatoes, great flavor overall, and just the right little kick.

All in all, this is a great local restaurant with a welcoming vibe and food that hits the spot. I loved it.“

“Thank you to the ONLY place that ever never made me feel NOT handicapped! The entire service industry needs to be taught by these waitresses AND manager on how to treat the handicapped!!!! I WISH I COULD GIVE 100 GOLD STARS BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT THEY DESERVE. I NEVER FELT LIKE A BOTHER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SEVERAL YEARS. I FELT LIKE I WAS WELCOME!!!!“

“Wow! One of the best tacos I’ve had on the Northshore! I went a week ago and I picked up some birria tacos, salsa, and horchata. I’ve never had horchata before and omg it was amazing and they gave me a huge cup! So cool! Thank y’all!“

“I left my business card by accident and Brent went out of his way to find my business on Facebook and contact me to retrieve my card. I am beyond thankful for him. And… the food was pretty darn good too. Thank you so very much Brent. 🙏🏼❤️“

“We drive past 10+ Mexican restaurants to come here as often as we can. I’ve never had something off the menu I don’t love, but if you want to do yourself a favor get anything with steak in it; they do steak better than any place else. 10/10 won’t go anywhere else“

“Very good food and service. Today the waitress chased us outside as we were pulling out of the parking lot to give us our to go queso we forgot. Now that’s good service! And the food is better than any mexican I’ve had in this area.“

“This is the only chipotle I am willing to go to! They never skimp on your meal. Always super kind and patient when you go through and order! I have never had a problem ever. The manager is super accommodating as well. Tonight the tortilla press was out of order and I asked for an alternative! I was accommodated with no fuss! Keep doing what you do and don’t you guys change 💗💗“

“Far better than chipotle, great staff, clean environment and tons of variations of food to get! All protein choices are pretty delicious that I’ve tried. Salsa is made in house. Even the regular size burrito can be enough for 2 meals if you wanted.“

“OBSESSED WITH THE CEVICHE. HOLY LORD“
