50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Greensboro

“My new favorite place is Mezcal Mexican restaurant. The Poblano chili is a very authentic dip in batter and the cheese with the tomato sauce is delicious. The rice and beans add some depth to the dish. The salsa verde and rojo are excellent condiments. Can’t wait to try a margarita next time. I tried a Mexican shrimp taco, best one I have ever had.“

“First impression as you walk in, or look at images of the menu: AUTHENTIC! First impressions when you bite into your food: They nailed the first impression! I had the lingua, tripa, pez, and Pastor tacos. My family had the California burrito, chicken and beef tacos, and the Enchiladas Mexicanos with mole and salsa verde. We also added a side of guac and chips. Guac: thin mixed avocado and perfectly sized chunks mixed in with the tomato and seasonings. An absolute must! The 4 tacos I ate were succulent to say the least. The tripa was thin and crispy, but you could taste the rendered fat in them. It had the texture of perfectly cooked bacon. Al pastor is one of my favorites and this one did not disappoint. Then there was the pez taco that was just the right amount of crispy without being an iota overcooked. At last I ate the lingua taco. It melted in my mouth and I immediately wanted another. I don’t even like mole sauce, but I couldn’t stop eating the mole enchilada. Aces, hands down. The California burrito was phenomenal and had the perfect amount of each ingredient and a delectable amount of heat and sweet cream sauce. The chicken was obviously hand shredded and had equal amounts of larger chunks of meat and thin pulled pieces to soak up all the flavor in endless nooks and crannies. If you have not been here please do your palate a flavor and stop in. The value far exceeded the price of our meals and we plan on coming here every year when the World Ninja finals come to town.“

“2 Seated immediately in an overcrowded dining area, but took the order quick. 2 minutes flat the food was slapped in front of us. Had to ask for the salsa and chips. No napkins or hot sauces on the table was a real inconvenience to having the server run back and forth. Food was alright, but not of Mexican quality whatsoever. Throw some spices, peppers whatever in there vamanos, por favor.“

“Favorite Lunch/Dinner Spot“

“I have had great Mexican food both times I have been to La Fiesta. Last time I had the fried chicken chimichanga. This time I had the taquitos. Both menu items were well prepared. Most restaurants cannot cook Taquitos very well. These tacoitos are very similar to ones I found in Central America.“

“Food is always delicious. They never disappoint. The staff is friendly and the food always comes out fast!“

“Great food. I had the tacos and the family ate. Great time and great people. I will go back.“

“I recommend the al pastor and carne azada trompo ones...the tortillas don't break, which is good.“

“We had the best food we've ever had. The sauce was home made and it showed. Big portions and I could swear somebody's Gramma cooked everything it tasted so delicious. The agua fresca was delicious too.“

“Best Mexican restaurant ever!!! My husband and I have been here like 8 times in the last month, ordered something different each time and only left incredibly full & and wanting more. Order the guacamole and brirra pizza with some tacos - you're solid. Thank you for the exceptional service and food!“

“Food is good and drinks as well“

“The food is great! Love to come in with my children ❤️“

“One of THE BEST places in GSO for Birria Tacos! My friends and I visited for the first time on National Margarita Day! It was a Vibe! Diego was our server- he made great suggestions, was attentive and made sure we had a great experience. Fantastic Food, great fun ambiance, good price point, overall amazing experience!“

“Thank you la pita
Wonderful experience! Our waitress was absolutely fantastic—friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome from the moment we sat down. She checked on us at just the right times and made sure everything was perfect. Her positive attitude really made our meal even more enjoyable. Great service like this makes all the difference. Thank you!”“

“Friendly staff
Amazing food
Our food was served within 10 minutes of us ordering
Our server, Javiaer, was amazing. Always coming to check on us
Our son wanted another taco. I went to ask for one, by the time i sat back down he was right behind me with the other order
Want to come here daily but i live an hour away 🙃“

“Been here a couple times and it's become a favorite breakfast place of mine. It's always busy when I come in but the food is always so so good and comes out pretty fast. You can tell everything is homemade. The staff are also super nice and the tables and place are always very clean. Definitely recommend coming here!“

“I love the vibe and energy here at Friendly more than the other Rio Grande's. Eveyone is always so nice and kind. Francisco at the front knows my name and can guess what I am going to order before I even place it. KUDOS and 5 stars all around for everyone at the Downwind location!! THE BEST!“

“The food is great! Love to come in with my children ❤️“

“Authentic Mexican Food! Always fresh servings“

“Love it! I’ll definitely come back again“

“Love the food good taste and friendly people 🩷“

“I've eaten here twice today, I finally stopped in this morning on my way to work, then came back with the family for a late lunch early dinner.

Food was excellent in both cases, prices were shockingly low for the quality and how much I liked everything.

Did tacos and a gordita this morning, did a cheese steak for lunch/dinner.

Generally, you might guess that a place that serves both tacos and burgers/subs might be good at one but not the other, not here, they're just good at doing everything, apparently.

That must be why they're the super-ama, and not the alright-ama.“

“The food was absolutely delicious! I had the tostada and ceviche and they both were incredibly fresh and flavorful. Will definitely visit this truck again!“

“Fantastic loaded quesadilla! Thank you all!“

“The kimchi fried rice with steak was delicious and the portion sizes were outrageous. You can eat off of it for at least three meals. I've ordered from this place about 7 or 8 times over the years. They never disappoint.“

“Muy rica la comida y excelente servicio“

“quality food!! run by amazing people !! cocinan muy rico y con corazón! y en lo personal bellas personas muy trabajadoras! toda la familia son muy ambles! así que te los recomiendo!!👍“

“You won't only get the best burrito al pastor 🌯 you can have in the whole Greensboro area, but you will have food made with love! The seasoning is perfect👌🏼 and the portions are way more than what you would get somewhere else while paying more. Will be coming here more.

Shoutout to the doña cooking in the kitchen!🙏🏼“

“I took my bff out for his 50th birthday because we’re far away from family so we decided to go out and try this local eatery. Coming from California this place did not disappoint when it came to authentic Mexican food flavors. Everything that I ate in which we ordered multiple things to try, was so delicious I was dancing while I ate 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️. Leftovers was absolutely great to have as portions were perfect. The staff is absolutely amazing, polite, and super professional. I do not regret one bit and I highly suggest…. this is a new location of four that just opened four months ago you’ve gotta try it. It’s awesome great location and peaceful. #worthyofmytastebuds #mexicanrestaurantgso #madememisscali #greatcocktails #greensboromusttry“

“My recent visit to La bamba was a mixed experience. While the service was excellent—attentive and friendly from start to finish—the food unfortunately fell short of expectations.

I ordered the steak tacos with a side of rice. The most significant issue was the complete lack of flavor. Both the meat and the rice tasted unseasoned, as if no salt or pepper had been used. The meal was simply bland and lacked any depth.

The salsa was equally disappointing. It seemed to consist of nothing more than blended tomato and onion, missing the key spices and herbs that give salsa its vibrant flavor. It was just as bland as the main dish.

Ultimately, while the great service was a positive note, the quality of the food was a dealbreaker for me. Based on this experience, I don't see myself returning in the future.“

“Una Mas is a gem! The food is bursting with authentic flavors, with perfectly seasoned dishes and fresh ingredients. The service is outstanding.“

“We picked up some quesabirria tacos last night after a show nearby. They were absolutely delicious and the lady working was so nice. I wish they could open a restaurant. We'll definitely be trying more of the menu.“

“La comida es excelente, el servicio es excelente, pero hay un rey que no se baja de su trono, y ese el manager, desgraciadamente he tenido la mala suerte de tratar dos veces con el y le falta educacion y buenos modales. Una verdadera lastima.“

“They have good food, excellent service, and some of the best salsa we have ever had!! 👍🏼“

“We were getting ready for my son and daughter-in-law's bridal shower party and picked up our food and drinks from here. Everyone enjoyed the food and was very happy to the point that they ended up serving themselves twice. Recommend La Azteca #2 for their fresh tortilla and most delicious salsa and all their food.“

“We were in town for a soccer tournament… and was looking an authentic Mexican taco truck…. We found La Jarochita food truck… and it definitely hit the spot!
Tacos 10/10 with handmade tortillas.
Quesabirra was 10/10 and Popusas were 10/10. The aguas frescas pineapple and strawberry 10/10. The lady taking our order/cook was so nice and very friendly.“

“This place is great.
Everyone I spoke with was very friendly, the atmosphere is upbeat and fun but not over the top.

The food I've tried the few times I visited was really delicious and the portions are generous.
I really enjoyed the margarita I ordered.

All in all, I would recommend and I'll come back again.“

“Great tasting food! Im addicted🤤“

“Totally in the top 2 Mexican restaurant I've even been too! It was time to say until I see you again to some close friends. This was an excellent choice!! Food, service and atmosphere total comforting! Yolanda was out bartender and server, very beautiful woman and totally attentive! Food was totally delicious 🤤!“

“Real and authentic. The carnitas tacos were about as authentic and flavorful as you could ask for. If you want fake Mexican food, go to Taco Bell. If you want the real deal that you would expect from authentic food, truck or restaurant in Mexico, come here.“

“No lo recomiendo fuimos a comer tacos de tripa y en lugar de darnos tripa nos dieron menudo dorado y tenia el sabor a menudo o panza de res nos quedamos muy decepcionados por que antes daban un buen servicio y ahora es pésimo y pobre el servicio cuando les pides corregir una orden se enojan“

“I thought the place was just as good as the well known restaurants“

“Walked in to place a togo order. The staff was attentive. Asked me if I wanted the lunch or dinner ACP portion. Thought that was very nice. Placed my order and it didn’t take long at all. As you can see by the photos it was a lot of food and it didn’t disappoint.“

“Awesome queso and salsa and guac, oh my!“

“Food is great and at a great price. Been eating here since high school“

“It has a pretty and clean atmosphere. There’s just so much that this restaurant offers and it’s awesome. I went for steak tacos and Tre Leche with fruit on top. Everything was fresh and tasted amazing. Definitely in a league of their own 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾“

“Great food, good prices and a lovely place“

“Food is always great, which is why I’m still leaving 5 stars. However, I was surprised to see I was charged $3.90 just for extra cilantro and onions — at that point, I could’ve almost bought another taco.

There was also a previous time I was called back because I was accidentally only charged for one order of steak tacos instead of two.

Overall, the food is consistently good, but I’ll definitely avoid adding extras or paying over the phone in the future.“

“Awesome queso and salsa and guac, oh my!“
