14 Best Mexican Restaurants near Ridgedale

“Arnie’s Barn absolutely exceeded expectations. The food was outstanding everything came out fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The fajitas were sizzling and loaded with flavor, the tacos were some of the best I’ve had, and the queso and sides were just as impressive. You can tell there’s real attention to detail in every dish.

The atmosphere is just as good as the food. The setting inside the restored barn is unique, relaxed, and has an incredible view that makes the whole experience even better.

What really stood out was the service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and on top of everything without being overbearing. They made sure every detail was right from start to finish.

If you’re looking for great food, a great atmosphere, and top-tier service, this place delivers on all three. Highly recommend.“

“This is one of my favorite spots in Branson! I've never had a bad meal here. My favorite is the steak alhambre plate. The steak is cooked with tomatoes, onions and peppers, and then they add wonderful melty cheese. It's served with flavorful rice and beans, avocado, lettuce, and their absolutely phenomenal homemade tortillas. I always get the Tamarindo margarita to go with it, and it is one of my favorite meals in town. Also, their whole set-up is so inviting, family friendly, and lovely. The owners are lovely and accommodating, and you can tell how much care they put into everything they do.“

“Had their queso birria tacos combo with good old Mexican cola cola. The birria soup was tasty and wasn't too hot for people afraid of too much heat you can still get great flavor at tacos no 1. Salsa bar is at your disposal. Plenty of napkins for the messy eaters.“

“If you’re looking for authentic Puerto Rican flavor, this place is it. Every dish tastes like it came straight out of a home kitchen on the island is full of seasoning, rich flavor, and made with care. The mofongo is perfectly mashed and packed with flavor, the arroz con gandules is on point, and the meats are always tender and well-seasoned. What really makes this spot special is how consistent everything is. You can tell they take pride in their food. The portions are generous, the atmosphere feels welcoming, and the service makes you feel like family. Definitely my go-to spot when I’m craving real Puerto Rican food. Highly recommend if you want something authentic and satisfying.“

“A few nights ago, we went to Cantina Laredo with some friends that were here from Arizona. I was really nervous about dining out, because I have Alpha Gal and I’m allergic to dairy, eggs and gluten. Our server was very kind, patient, knowledgeable and very accommodating. She spoke with their kitchen staff and made them aware of my allergy issues and they took great care of me. I had guacamole and chips for an appetizer, then chicken fajitas with corn tortillas, and a side of black beans. My food was absolutely delicious! If you have food allergies, I would highly recommend Cantina Laredo at the Branson Landing.“
