50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Manchester

“Kaelen Felix recommended this lovely restaurant. We enjoyed meeting the owner and her staff that helped us pick the best taco. She was right. We actually tried five different ones. They were all delicious. I particularly liked how they doubled up the delicious corn tortillas. The exciting spice and the crisp onions or salad toppings made a savory meal. we will be returning! We would recommend this to anyone who enjoys authentic food“

“Fantastic food, service, decor, and grewt waitress. Would highly recommend and eat here again.“

“This lunch/dinner was very delicious! The employees allowed me to get a little extra queso without charging me extra as I have been in the past at this particular location. They had just made fresh fajita vegetables, and they were seasoned to perfection! This was definitely the best experience I have ever had at this Qdoba location. I've had many unpleasant experiences in the past at this location in which the employees were rude and charged me extra for things that shouldn't be extra. I have even made it known to friends and family I would rather drive to the other side of town to go to a different location to avoid the rude employees in favor of a location where the employees usually work very hard to make my order just right every time. This time I was very pleasantly surprised to find the employees on duty did an absolutely phenomenal job making my whole experience tasty and pleasant. Thank you for working hard to make me happy! You may even have restored my faith in visiting this store in the future, but only if you keep up the good work to surprise and delight!“

“First time at Taco Buddha! Great food! Great staff! Staff went up above and beyond to help with my order, today! Thank you for such Great customer service at the Kirkwood location 💕“

“We aren't from the area but were in town for a softball game near by. We were very pleased with all of our dinners. The steak, chicken and tilapia special were all delicious. The chips were great and so was the salsa. Margaritas were on point too! 😋“

“The chimichanga is fantastic and I can't get enough of the rice. So good!“

“5 stars for food, service and atmosphere. Place is tiny, seating 30-35 is my guess. If there's better MX in the area please tell me!“

“Delicious food,great portions, 9/10 recommended“

“My sister gifted my husband and I a gift card for Xmas. She works for three kings in south county another establishment with the same owners. The food and atmosphere at Three Kings is so great that we were thrilled to see they’d opened a Mexican restaurant as we love tacos! Just from walking up from the partying lot, I knew it would be great! The outside dining had lots of themed touches that were really nice! Soon as we walked in we were greeted and told of our wait time. we really appreciated that the hostess took our number and called us when our table was ready. We ended up sitting and waiting, we like to people watch :D the decor was gorgeous! I loved the succulent chandelier, the floral walls, the ceramic and the mosaic touches! All of their establishments are inviting and really create a nice atmosphere! Our server Charlie was friendly and knowledgeable regarding drinks and food! We each had a delicious margarita! The chips and salsa were fantastic! My husband ordered a smothered burrito and I opted for a taco plate. I was very impressed with the amount of options on the food especially for health conscious people- vegan, gluten free, etc! I loved that I could mix and match, I had a Baja fish taco and the vegan chorizo. Both were amazing! The slaw on the baja taco was sweet and crunchy! This was my first experience with vegan chorizo and it was the perfect amount of spicy! The plantains were delicious and basically became our dessert! We over indulged too much and skipped dessert, but we will be back soon so that we can order the Churros! Highly recommend checking out Tres Reyes and or Three Kings if you haven’t yet! You won’t be disappointed! :)“

“Food is SO good“

“Mi Lupita's is our favorite authentic Mexican restaurant. We love the fresh squeezed Margaritas, Chicken Mole Poblano, El Pastor Tacos of pork and pineapple. Great service, atmosphere and everyone is o friendly. Best of luck on your new location.“

“I can't say enough about this restaurant. It's the BEST! We go there a lot. We ate there 12/27/25. You get so much food with the Fajita dish that I always have to take half of it home. My husband mostly gets meals with shrimp and he too loves them. In getting to know them over the years is like gaining another family member. Maria even helped me get a great doctor for my husband. Service is always spot on. They always bring me me a frosted mug with my beer, without asking! Everyone is very friendly. If you like Mexican food you REALLY need to go there. Thank you everyone at DURANGO!!“

“one of the best taco spots in st.louis hands down“

“Great food. Great service. Friendly people!!! Definitely a place I would go for my taco cravings!!!“

“We love San Jose! Every time we come in, it feels like we are being greeted by family. The food is delicious. The margarita flights are amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“This place is amazing. They are very quick with everything. I came in during a dinner rush they said 10 minute wait, I waited for maybe 5 minutes- amazing. I ordered my food and it came out in about 10 minutes and that during the dinner rush too. The service is amazing.“

“These are seriously the best tacos i’ve ever had. The service is great and the food was even better. The tacos come out nice and hot, and there’s a salsa bar that’s fresh. I have come here numerous times late at night and every single time, the food hits and the service is amazing per usually. Definitely recommend.“

“Moving reviews over from Yelp. Originally written in 2017:

Cheese baby, cheese!

I came here willingly for one reason, and only one reason: I saw someone's picture of a dish called Alhombre and had to try it. Think of it like this...they throw a handful of pieces of all of their meats (plus bacon) on a platter and then smother it is cheese sauce. Yep, kinda like a garbage pizza but made of Americanized Mexican food. The list included chicken, steak, fish, bacon and somehow a couple of shrimps even though they weren't listed on the menu as being part of the dish. There were some vegetables in there too but the dish could have used a bit more. Everything was cooked properly and very flavorful even without that luscious blanket of cheese laid over the top. Tortillas on the side along with the ubiquitous rice & beans.

We started with chips and salsa but the main event was the most memorable...until dessert arrived. The thing I love about flan is the drizzle of caramel sauce that usually accompanies the custard on the plate. There's never enough to allow a little bit with each bite. Not usually. Not ever - until this plate of flan arrives and it was absolutely swimming in caramel sauce (see picture). I was stuffed to the gills but actually contemplated ordering another one just to see if it would look the same. I held off but will certainly return if for no other reason than to have another flan.“

“The *best* neighborhood Mexican restaurant in St. Louis. Amazing cuisine, fast and friendly service, great value and the best margaritas in Rock Hill! My husband and I have been going to El Indio since the doors opened nearly 15 years ago and watched it grow into the successful restaurant it is today. It’s no wonder why it is such a gem in Rock Hill! Make El Indio your next night out. Order a pitcher of margaritas on the rocks, share among friends & family and discover what the rest of us already know and love!“

“Place is amazing. Come here atleast once a week“

“Our vintage Thunderbird Club had a luncheon event at El Agave on Sunday February 15th, 2026. The food was excellent, the service was exceptional and the accommodations for our group of 16 worked out great. All of our members extremely pleased with everything. To the staff and management, we thank you for your hospitality and service.“

“so delicious and reasonable! will be back.“

“Very friendly service. I live their guacamole and sopes.“

“Great food and margaritas“

“Not sure what was going on the afternoon of Jan 4, but waitress was very grumpy. Been coming here for years and never experienced this before. Good food and drinks were wonderful though! Waitress just was not having a good day.“

“Food, server 👍👍👍👍 did your margaritas was fantastic, very clean“

“My first neighbor and my last. my favorite cheat day! From the Quesabirria to the double beans!! They are passionate. love to cook. They really care about your experience and have such a family atmosphere. I’m going to miss their friendship and food.. i know my husband will miss your culinary skills..Tacos are not just for tuesdays when you eat with El Nopal 🥰“

“Best caldo de pollo (chicken soup) in St. Louis!! Fast friendly service!“

“We had a birthday party here and it was my first time. The food and the margheritas were superb! The staff was friendly, patient and Wonderful. They even let us bring our own cake and provided plates and forks!!“

“Stopped in for some chips and salsa and flautas to go. Great batch of salsa and everything (including the chips) was fresh and great.
Easy in and out.

Parking: Parking lot is congested and kind of rough but I'd never hold that against Chevys 😀“

“Amberley was a wonderful waitress for us today and the the food was delicious.“

“Great Mexican food! Everything was delicious and service was great too!“

“Their Skirt Steak is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!“

“I had three bad experiences at global quesadilla on 141 and Clayton The first time I went in there they told me they don't accept cash. the second time I went in I got a quesadilla, some chips, and queso. the queso tasted awful. it tasted like warmed up canned cheese or something. I'd buy at the gas station but not the hot stuff in the dispenser that tasted better. And to be honest, there's nothing special about the quesadillas for the ingredients that go into it, the amount of time it takes to make and what they're charging for it. I find it ridiculous. if it's not going to taste good it should be cheap. at that point I'd rather make them at home. my third bad experience is a as a doordasher. after confirming the name of my customer, I proceeded to include my business card. global quesadilla doesn't own that food. that food was paid for by my customer. they have no right to tell me I can't put a business card with the food. the employee proceeds to yell at me multiple times to hand the food back to which I responded no twice and started walking out of the store. he proceeded to follow me out of the store continuing to yell at me and I had to tell him multiple times to back up/go inside / leave me alone. and if he touched me there's going to be a problem I shouldn't be in fear for my physical safety going into any establishment. they were also rude and unprofessional the first day I went in trying to pay with cash. how they've handled themselves multiple times is completely unacceptable. there's a reason why I only ate the food once. if I want Mexican food I'll make it myself or go to Taco Bell or a sit-down Mexican restaurant.“

“Great fresh innovative food, wonderful friendly service. 95 out of 100. 5 points off because my food should have been hotter.“

“El Mexiquense Wood Grill food is vibrant, fresh, and deeply flavorful, relying on fresh ingredients like corn, avocado, tomatoes, and diverse chilies, balanced with herbs (cilantro, oregano), spices (cumin, cinnamon), and aromatics (onion, garlic) for complex, aromatic, and sometimes spicy, but always hearty, dishes that reflect rich regional traditions. It's about natural tastes enhanced, not overwhelmed, with textures from fresh tortillas and creamy cheeses like queso fresco. Is my new favorite restaurant in the area 😋“

“I give the store 4 stars, it's a good place but they should be more careful with the food they sell. I bought 2 pounds of sweetbreads and it turns out that they mix them with hard gizzards. I find it unpleasant that they do that and you don't enjoy what you buy.“

“Great atmosphere and wonderful food!! Large portions!!“

“I used to work in Maryland Heights and would eat there all the time. Anna was the best, and the tacos were delicious!“

“Chris is our regular waiter and he is the best. Knows what we wants and always delivers. The food is always good and we are there every week.“

“Excellent food with excellent prices.“

“Best Mexican joint in town. As someone of Latin American descent, the food is about as authentic as it gets. I had the birria tacos, and they were delicious. The waiter was very sweet and attentive. The food came out in a timely fashion. Can’t say enough about this place, a wonderful restaurant for casual food and drinks.“

“Absolutely the worst experience! I've never made a bad review because everyone has a bad day but this was so over the top, they deserve it! Party of 9. The waitress didn't understand anything! 2 of 9 ordered coke zero, all 9 received coke zero. Tried to explain, she literally brought our more coke zero. The food was brought out 7 of 9 was wrong. I then went to get the Mgr. He kind of fixed some food. She didn't deserve our tip that was added on!“

“Their burrito plate is amazing. Favorite Mexican restaurant in the area.“

“This is our new favorite Mexican restaurant in the STL area! Food was amazing and service was fast and friendly!“

“Excellent! Food was tasty. Would definitely recommend.“

“Great food karaoke on the weekends“

“I’m in love with their Mangonada!!!“
