7 Best Mexican Restaurants near Blue Eye

“Had lunch at Las Casitas and it was delicious. The place is a little off the beaten path. Thank goodness there was a sign by the road pointed us in the right direction. We drove to the Jim Bakker gospel building. The restaurant is inside the building (with no signs outside). After we chose a table, a lovely young lady gave us chips and salsa. I had a grilled chicken burrito that came with a side of guacamole, sour cream, lettuce and pico. I was quite pleased with my choice. My husband had chicken tamales. He could not decide which sauce so asked for a little of the red and green sauces. They were very tasty. We are only in the area a short time or I would go back. The prices were $$.“

“Skeptical when I first pulled up but they had amazing reviews and we are from out of town. I love birria anything and I went to a place in my hometown last week and they were disgusting. Theirs are the absolute best that I’ve ever had. I don’t know if they do, but if they don’t sell their salsa, they should!!!!! definitely look into doing that because it’s hands-down the best salsa I’ve ever had. Had a Bloody Mary that was just ok…..wish the Cajun corn had tajin on it. Overall 5 star all around.“

“I was surprised to find this cuisine in this area, and then was double-surprised at how incredibly delicious it was. Everything was cooked perfectly, the sauces were delicious and flavorful, and the desserts were excellent. The tortillas are AMAZING.Kid-friendliness: The kids loved the food and there are a bunch of yard games around to play.“

“Phenomenal place to eat. The atmosphere is great, the food is superb, I had the crab and shrimp and enchiladas and they were seasoned to perfection! Berkay was our server and he went above and beyond for us. Amazing food suggestions, you must try the chocolate tequila shots! Our favorite suggestion of his! Will definitely be back. Wish I got photos of our food but I dug in as soon as it got to the table! Best Branson food experience I’ve ever had!“

“We brought our 92 yr old Mother here tonight: she asked if they can open one in STL!! She loved it. Said it was the best Chile Rellenos she ever had, it was excellent!! Our food was great as always, and our server Rina was so wonderful!!! Thanks for the memories and great food. ♥️“

“Jalapenos was a very casual, relaxed and clean atmosphere. Carlos our server was very kind, polite and friendly. We felt very welcomed by him. He definitely is in the top 1% of all the servers we've had in Branson. The food was absolutely the best Mexican food we've ever had! My husband had one of the speciality burritos and I had the chicken fajitas. It was fresh, favorable, and cooked to perfection. Our plates were not just thrown together but done to look very appealing and appetizing. Thank you Jalapenos for the most delicious lunch!! We will be back many more times to come and also we will highly recommend you!!“

“Just a great little place to have breakfast and mingle with the cool local dudes who gather before sunrise every morning. One of them made fun of my fat gut, but I didn't take offense at all, because I knew it was all in good, clean fun. I live hundreds of miles away in Cincinnati, but my best friend is a local and takes me there every time I visit him. If what you really want doesn't appear on the menu just tell the cute girl behind the counter what you want and she'll do her best to make what you want with what's on hand. The coffee is self-serve. When I poured myself a cup I was looking around for some creamer. I don't use powered "creamer" or artificial liquid creamer so I asked her if she had any kind of dairy product for the coffee, and she poured a glass half full of milk for my coffee and told me to let her know if I needed more. I had heard bragging about the place's biscuits and gravy, but upon arrival I noticed she was bringing this southern dish to one of the guys at the next table and didn't notice any sausage in it, so I said, "Doesn't your gravy have any sausage in it?" She said no, but I can put some in yours if you want."So she fried some and crumbled it in my gravy. That made it so much better not just because it had sausage in it, but because I knew she had gone the 2nd mile for me. I'm a Google Local Guide writing reviews of restaurants, hotels, and other businesses, and something I often mention about service is the importance of friendliness and cheerfulness. I feel better about leaving a big tip for a waitress who was friendly even if she made a mistake than one who is dour and unsmiling even if she gets everything exactly right. And the service here is very friendly and cheerful. Cheerfulness can be contagious. I don't think she was going to charge me for the milk or sausage crumbles, but I'll never know, because another local (not the one who mentioned my gut) paid for friend's and my meals before leaving.“
