10 Best Mexican Restaurants near Havelock

“Came to Newbern from Greenvill and then found this gem on maps and drove a couple of miles away from Newbern to try it. I have to say it has been a long time since I came across a good Mexican/Hispanic restaurant. The food, the service all of it was top notch. Really enjoyed the food, every dish tasted unique and flavorful. Consider me a fan and will be visiting again soon“

“This restaurant is the best Mexican food I have eaten in eastern NC. I moved and still have yet to find a place with as good of food and as friendly of servers as La Patrona. The margaritas are always deliciously strong and the food is decently priced for the portions you get. We were there every week when we lived there. The food always came really quick no matter how busy they were. I miss it so much!“

“The food, service, and price are great and they have a different menu compared to the other restaurants in the area if you're looking to mix it up. We should probably broaden our horizons and try other things on the menu, but we are stuck on the papusas and stuffed jalapeñosfor now.“

“First time there, went with my wife and 2 good friends from out of state and we Loved the food. The server was great and helpful. The food we ordered came fast and tasted very fresh. This was our first but will go back again. 100% Recommended.“

“The lady with the teal hair who took my order today was very kind and showed fantastic customer service. The line was a little slow, but it was lunch rush so just expect that. I got a chicken quesadilla and root beer and a cheesy roll up for my son. Everything was warm and perfectly proportioned. I've been to taco bells where they either skimp or put too much and your food spills all over the place. Definitely a well ran taco bell from what I've experienced.“

“Great for a Taco Bell to be honest… I’d recommend here at more towards morning or evening as lunch has one heck of a wait most days.. most visits have great customer service! Hard to find at most fast food joints. There are some staff members who aren’t as outgoing but definitely an improvement from most places in this area. 9/10 times no mess ups on orders too!!“

“SO GOOD!!! And the staff are very patient friendly and polite! Our waitire Jole was the best we had in a long time!“

“First time, loved it. Immediately served large dish of chips & salsa. Variety of draft beers. Our platters of food were hot, generous & great. Service was just right, clean & pleasant atmosphere. Good chipotle sauce to add a level of heat.“

“Amazing food and atmosphere ❤️❤️“

“WOW... I have been hesitating to try this restaurant.... mistake!!! Should have tried it A LOT SOONER. This will be my new go to weekly rather than the Mexican restaurants I normally go to and been disappointed at for a while. Food was amazing and service very good as well. Excited to try other food here I've never had before. Definitely worth a try and especially with prices comparative or slightly lower than the local restaurants.“
