44 Best Mexican Restaurants near Belmont

“On our way to the overlook my husband and I noticed this restaurant. When we got there we were the only customers but over the course of our meal more and more people came in. I can see why, their food is amazing. The food looks better and bigger than the pictures off the menu. The service we got was very friendly and the place was very clean. We will be returning for sure. ☺️“

“My daughter had placed a mobile order with Taco Bell in Mount Holly on Tuckaseegee Rd and when we arrived we waited for almost an hour in drive thru and then we went inside and were told they were out of certain food and we asked for a refund and nobody wanted to help so my daughter and I went to Taco Bell in Belmont and spoke with a young man named Kolby and he took care of the situation and was very helpful. Thank you again Kolby for your wonderful hospitality and help. I will definitely be coming back.“

“This place is really small, but the food is sooooo good! It's real Mexican food, and have been good for years now. I have never had a bad experience and continue to get good food and service. I usually take my food out instead of eating since it's so small and tight in there. Parking is a pain because it's a shared parking lot with the other businesses and a gas station surrounding it, but if they there when they open you can deal with it lol.“

“If you haven’t been go check it out! Sit with Victor! He is awesome, super attentive and always kind! He loves to joke with the kids and makes dinner a good time! You won’t leave hungry and not taken care of!“

“Excellent waitress! Great food!“

“Always friendly to me. sense first time, home stile, plus pork Carnitas the ? best, good rice, good flavor beans. For me, it works !! It is a family restaurant that makes me feel comfortable. Hope helps you. Nothing fantasy is just normal.“

“Really great food! Really nice people! My flight got cancelled. The airline gave me a meal voucher and they rang it up and cooked me up a hot meal that was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend!!! Go eat there. You won’t be disappointed. You’ll think your mom is cooking!“

“Service was great as we were on a tight schedule. Ordered Fajitas for Two - Nice meal. Gracias!“

“We love this place. Girls' night out. I had the shrimp quesadilla. It was fantastic. She had the California burrito. She loved it. The guacamole wasn't good, we dont recommend it, it's very watery. But the rest of the food was great.“

“Stopped in for dinner last night, and since it’s in a little strip mall, I’ll admit I wasn’t expecting much. But as soon as I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised. Gigantic art on the walls, high-back wooden chairs carved out of wood, it was a totally different vibe than I anticipated, and in a good way. It was Friday night around 8:00, and the place was packed. Despite that, we got a table almost immediately.

Now, I didn’t care for the salsa. It was a bit too oniony and runny for my taste, but honestly, that’s the only downside. The Birria tacos were phenomenal. The portion of meat was huge, and for around $19, it was an exceptional value. The guys I was with all ordered different things, and they were just as impressed as I was. The service? Absolutely stellar. No complaints there.

So yeah, other than the salsa not being the best I’ve ever had, it’s a minor issue compared to how good everything else was. I’ll definitely be going back.“

“Great for lunch. The burrito I ordered was huge! Texas burrito. Mango margarita was also great on the rocks. I would go back!“

“if you want to eat and drink at the same time it's the place to be“

“Good drinks and the food, dips and appetizers, desserts delicious.“

“This was our first time trying this and it was delicious. The owner was welcoming and honest about his food and if it is your first time coming there he’ll give you a free sample before you buy which was awesome. They give you enough food for a reasonable price and the drinks were good as well. Would definitely recommend.

Vegetarian options: Veggie bowls and veggie wraps are available on the menu or build-your-own bowl or wrap.

Parking: Plenty of parking spots in front of the building.“

“Picture yourself not in a parking lot because the food will bring you to the beaches of Mexico. The food was authentic, not your usual crema sauce. Fresh, hot, tasty, and friendly. Totally recommend if you are in the area. Maybe some Musica for a little atmosphere.“

“I am looking at previous bad reviews and I do not know what they are talking about. I place my order and they are SUPER nice over the phone. She greets me with a smile on her face and never had a bad experience. The tacos are so good. By far the best tacos and HOT sauce I’ve had. This is my go to spot.“

“Delicious Mexican food , specially the Mexican street corn 🌽🤤.“

“Margaritas has a large menu but I have never had any bad food or service here. I most recently got Texas Fajitas and they were amazing. Everything on the menu is reasonably priced unlike other restaurants.

Highly recommend to anyone in the mood for some good Mexican and quality/fast service!

Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly“

“This is an excellent spot for authentic Mexican food and flavor. The tortillas are freshly made and delicious. The salsa verde and salsa roja are also fresh and the barbacoa is incredible. I love the spice level and flavor combination of the food here. It’s deli style so you order by the pound and take it to-go. Love this place!“

“These folks know how to make the very best Mexican essentials!!! The best Taco Truck in Gaston County. I will only eat food from TAQUERIA LOS LARA. Keep up the great work!!!“

“Amo su comida, muy rápido servicio y siempre complacen al cliente los dos chicos súper amables y la verdad se esmeran mucho para darte lo mejor. Muy recomendado. Los tacos campechanos y las tordas. Lo mejor… quieren algo como echo en casa este es el lugar ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Parking: Free parking and plenty ❤️“

“The waitress, whose name I didn't catch, was fantastic! My family wanted to practice ordering in Spanish and she waited patiently for them to do so. She even assisted with pronunciation when some words were incorrect. I really appreciated that she took this approach rather than being annoyed with the kids for trying. The food was good; our main entrees were hot off the grill but, the sides were lukewarm. We didn't complain though. Seemed trivial. We enjoyed ourselves and will be back.“

“Always love walking into here and getting the best Mexican food in Gaston County. Service is always 9/10 or better here, and the food has never come out to the table wrong for me. Be honest with yourself. You want the Pollo Loco. Just get it. If you don't think you'll love it, trust me, you will, it's great!!“

“Love it here! The Jeeper waiter is the most awesome!“

“Went to lunch there today with friends, haven't been since the new owners! It was amazing!!! Will be back. Great lunch specials and a lot of them. 🥰“

“The absolute best tacos I've ever ate!! The pico is so delicious! This spot has now became my go to spot for chicken tacos. Can't beat the price for how much food you get either. Oh and the employees have always been super nice and goes the extra mile for me. I'll forever eat tacos from here.“

“Visiting from Hilton Head, SC and we have our fair share of taco trucks but this place, wow! The food was prepped quickly and precise to how we ordered! Even with a line we had our food in less than 10 minutes. The staff is friendly. I am an avid taco truck visitor and this is top 10! Definitely coming back when I visit Charlotte again. Thank you for your hospitality!“

“Great food, local, love the regional Mexican food. El Pirul is a region in Mexico. Everywhere you go the food will be different based on regions, with the exception of just crowd-pleaser “Mexican” restaurants people tend to unduely 5-star. It is a humble hole-in-the-wall restaurant that serves food at pretty reasonable prices considering the locale. Where less english is spoken & a regional authentic menu is, there I am. Food. A universal language where you dont have to speak the same dialect to understand each other’s needs. Good food, reasonable prices, 5 stars. Try an agua fresca called Jamaica (pronounced “ha-mai-ka,” not Jamaica the country). Lovely addition to fatty foods/tacos.“

“Food is bustin’ the staff is friendly and helpful“

“I order here all Time. Chips n Quaso amazing everything. I finally got the app. Ordered at the wrong store. The manage took care of it. I didn't get a receipt to do a review. He is doing amazing job. All the employees are helpful. I usually do the receipt survey. I hope he see this!“

“Chorizo tacos were amazing“

“The buffet was good, but wish there would've been more to offer. The service was amazing. Our waitress was very kind and friendly. It was a little warm in the restaurant but she explained they were having AC issues. The price at lunch was 15.99 and included the drink, like I said, I feel there should've been more options for the pricing, but overall experience was good!“

“On 6/6/24 the two gentlemen working the counter and register at around 1pm deserve all the praise from corporate and their manager. The store was busy with lunch and online orders and these two men kept their composure while customers began being butts to them. I appreciate their kindness and their responsibility to the quality of food that was coming out at that time. I ordered a small bowl and the ingredients were fresh as well and well portioned. This location is a clean and friendly location that I will frequent again.“

“A perfect stop after a tough hike. We ordered off the Lite menu - I had the delicious taco salad (tender shredded chicken, perfectly fried shell) and hubby the burrito. We could not have picked a better spot to cool down, catch our breath and enjoy our late lunch.“

“Been going to La Fuente since they opened 30 years ago. Went last night and took pictures of the Christmas decorations. Merry Christmas from Ben and his gang!“
