39 Best Mexican Restaurants near China Grove

“They are my favorite Mexican restaurant!!! Best cheese dip around!“

“As part of exploring local food and the cultures behind it, Recipes of Culture recently visited Loteria located at 113 W Innes St, Salisbury, NC 28144, and it was a great experience. This family-owned restaurant from Guanajuato, Mexico brings authentic flavor and vibrant culture right to downtown Salisbury. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, colorful, and welcoming. The restaurant’s name is inspired by Lotería, a traditional Mexican game that dates back to the 1700s and is often compared to bingo. Instead of numbers, the game uses illustrated cards like El Gallo, La Sirena, and El Corazón. It’s a fun cultural tradition that many Mexican families grow up playing, so it’s great to see that cultural connection represented in the restaurant’s identity. The food was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. The portions were generous, and you can tell the dishes are made with care. Everything tasted authentic and satisfying, making it a solid spot for anyone craving Mexican food in the Salisbury area. At Recipes of Culture, we love highlighting places where food and culture come together, and Loteria is a great example of that. If you’re in Salisbury and looking to support a local business while enjoying great Mexican food, this is definitely a place worth visiting. — Recipes of Culture“

“Food is amazing and the staff is so nice! We love going there“

“The Latin American Quetzal Restaurant is superior when it comes to serving red snapper! It was perfectly cooked in the Huachinango style (deep fried without a batter). It was served with rice, beans, avocado, cactus salad, pickled onions, jalapeno salsa, and lime. This was all served on two big platters. The red snapper was huge and it sat on a sizzling hot iron plate. I could not believe the quality and amount of food they served for only $23.99! They also make their own aqua frescas. I had a mix of their mango and passion fruit aqua frescas mixed together. It was delicious! I would also like to say that the service there was very good and attentive. There is no question that I will be coming back again!“

I got the esquite and quesabirria, both absolutely delicious! The salsa roja is good and spicy, with lots of good flavors! They're not bland like a lot of local places. It's going to be a regular lunch spot for me! I'm excited to try the tacos on my next visit. They don't mention it on here or FB, but no cards are accepted. They accept cash only.“

“I've eaten a lot of tacos there my favorite food this taco truck has the best authentic street tacos I've ever eaten. Al pastor chompano and asada are my go to options. They are so good in fact that if I'm being honest, I typically order tacos out of the 4 days a week they serve food. So far I've only found one other food truck that can even compare the quality flavor and service of Dona` Tere. (Dragon Taqueria food truck in Mooresville, if your wondering)“

I hope they always stay in business!!!! My favorites are steak & cheese quesadilla, shredded chicken and cheese quesadilla, and six grilled shrimp. I also think they have the best salsa in town“

“great place to eat at. very nice staff“

“I had some problems ordering through Uber eats and my order wasn't delivered the first time due to an address error so I called the store and a lady named Olga answered all my questions and was super helpful in making sure I was able to get my refund and even helped me reorder and made sure to get the intended address for the delivery. And was dedicated enough to having great custom
er service that she called me back a few moments after my first call to make sure that all errors were resolved & I was content with their service. I have always loved Casa Grande and this woman's dedication just makes me love them even more!“

“average chain Spanish food. nothing exiting but hit the spot for what we wanted. friendly fast staff...always a plus.“

“It was so good. I got the carne asada tacos and a coke. The salsa on my tacos was good; it had a spicy flavor. This is the type of authentic Mexican food I like to eat and look for in my area. I will be coming back and trying their dessert.“

“The service was amazing an very pleasant. However the food was ehh my supposed to be New York strip was about 30% fat n gristle. My asparagus was way over cooked but everything tasted great on a good note. Oh n I ordered my steak medium an it came out medium well. Maybe steak shouldn't be on the menu or call it a ribeye it'll make more sense.“

“Helping police officers thank you“

“Moe's is my regular go to Mexican spot for quick inexpensive dining. This location on NC has some of the hottest jalapenos I've had in a while, Man it was good. Had me 🥵 sweating like a death row inmate, 😆.I really enjoyed that burrito!!!“

“This Taco Bell is about as nice as you could hope. They were fully staffed, and they had two lines making food which meant that the orders in the store and the drive thru were getting made quickly. They also had a nice lady who was very attentive to the people in the store and made sure we got everything we needed quickly. Overall a great experience.“

“BEST. TACO BELL. EVER. Ethan makes the best food!! The last couple of times I’ve gone, haven’t been great. Nachos missing cheese, tacos missing. I’ve gotten quesadillas missing chicken before. But the one I had tonight, was saucy, cheesy and with chicken! My mom had the best nachos she’s had yet. My cantina taco was so good. And my Doritos taco wasn’t broken!“

“The place was clean and tidy inside. A young man named Jacob welcomed me and confirmed my order on the Taco Bell app. He had a positive energy and sense of urgency that I'm not used to seeing at most Taco Bells I've been too. My order for two came out promptly and was accurate.

Hope they keep Jacob around and treat him well because he was great!“
