Take a look at our favorite Haw River Mexican restaurants.
“BEST PUPUSAS IN BURLINGTON ?? I had been wanting to try this place for months, finally today my boyfriend and I stopped by to try them and they are so worth it. The pupusas are 3 for $6 dollars and they are soooo fat and juicy. Mmmm also the woman who runs the counter was very sweet and helpful. Definitely try them! I have tried all pupusa trucks in Burlington and these are my probably my new favorite. P.S- CASH ONLY. ❤️“
“I have come here a few times and even brought my mother with me when she came into town to visit. I have yet to be disappointed! I’ve had their pupusas, breakfast chorizo burrito, and gorditas. So good! They are a little pricey yes, but worth it in my opinion.“
“The food here is amazing!! The chef truly LOVE his craft, I mean, hand made kettle chips?! Please be patient with the man though, he is alone in his operations ? it's hard to find good and qualifying employees, and even harder to keep good people. So wait varies, but he tries SO HARD!!“
“This restaurant was THE BEST find ever on Google Maps!!! The food was not only beautiful but DELICIOUS!!! Their table salsa is the best I've ever eaten!!! The decor is incredible & the wait staff was SUPERB! Alberto was the best waiter!!“

“I was looking for a "good" taco truck and woooooooooo! did I find it. Look no further than the Happy Tacos for great food and friendly fast service. Food is seasoned to perfection. Veggies are fresh and crisp. The sauces are DIVINE. I was surprised by how reasonable the prices are. I will definitely be back. Adding The Happy Tacos to my weekly rotation. You only live once, TREAT YOURSELF TO SOME TACOS!“
“Everything is supperrrr good I wish they gave 4 for the queso Birra that’s what I always get. Service is only a 4 because honestly I ate so fast she didnt have to serve me ? food is like 13-14$ without a tip for queso Birra but that’s what I’ve spent at every restaurant for “
“I loved this place! We were greeted and served very quickly. I ordered a cucumber and jalapeño margarita, which was great. The chorizo tacos were some of the best I've had! The flavor of the chorizo was bold as I like,and the sour cream on top created a nice balance of flavors. The Chorizo was not too soft, not too crunchy, although I do prefer somewhere in the middle! I was full off of 2 and a half.“
“Delicious ice cream, popsicles, milkshakes and more. We tried guanabana (soursop), tres leches, strawberry, mazapan (peanut butter deliciousness), and chocolate. They have so many exciting flavors!! Try a new flavor or choose an old favorite. The service was amazing and you can order in Spanish or in English. I'd highly recommend this shop for your next tasty treat!“
“The food was really good, the rice was well cooked, beans were a little salty, but it was really good when paired with the tacos. (I don't eat allot of salt, so could've just been me) The music was good, I was jamming, sort of a language barrier, but everything we ordered came out correct with no problems.“
“Delicious! The menu is in Spanish, the clientele are Hispanic (except for the occasional crazy white dude), the staff are Hispanic... You're in the right place. ?My entire party (of 3) enjoyed the food very much. Be brave; get the menudo.Parking: Tiny parking lot behind the building. You might want to back into a spot if it's not too crowded, since backing out later might be more of a challenge.“
“I've been to La Fiesta a few times now, and each time I've left looking forward to my next visit. The menu has a wide range of tasty options, sure to satisfy whatever you're craving. The service is consistently phenomenal as well. All-in-all, a great place for a delicious lunch“
“The food is good, and service was ok. I enjoyed my fajita texano plate, and the sweet tea was good. I had to ask for A refill and only got the one. The atmosphere is A little chaotic with regulars coming in the door and hollering at other regulars I guess. Try it and you may like it, but there are honestly better Mexican restaurants than this one, in my opinion. But I would go again if someone wanted to“
“Love this place ..a little peace of Mexico right next door..home made everything.the owner and his family are the nicest people and if like Traditional Mexican food you will love this food truck..I have never had a bad experience..If you have never had traditional Mexican corn try one don't forget to put some lime on it. You're welcome“
“Went for the first time and I LOVE IT!!!The place was busy so we thought that we were gonna wait like 15 min or more to be seated, we were seated right away., the staff was excellent,service 100%Professionalism 100%Fast 100%The food... Out of this world delicious, every single item ordered was mouth watering, including the margaritas?And it was served so fast that we were in shock.The server was amazing in every single way and the place is super clean.It's been a long time since I had this PERFECT experience in a restaurant and I will say I'm not only recommending it, I will come back really soon.“
“Don’t let the parking lot, age of the building or the traffic control one way street and median stop you from trying this Tex-Mex place. It’s one of the last that still use real rice and no gimmicks to make it look like you’re getting more than you really are. Food is excellent. Service is excellent. There is a separate bar room to the right and the restaurant to the left with outdoor dining area if you like that. Standard seating in dining room. My guess is they are old enough to have low overhead and that is reflected in the prices. It doesn’t sit on a picturesque hill and it’s not in a large shopping center. It’s on the corner of a very busy one way street and missing the turn in is easy. If you do, just take the next two rights and you’ll come to the back and right side of the restaurant where there is a wide turn in. Parking lot has lots of patches and divots. If you don’t see lines just line up with the other cars who have been patrons for years. They know where the lines used to be.Parking: It’s not the kindest parking lot with lots of patches and loose gravel and uneven pavement, but there is plenty of parking. The street in front is a one way street so if you miss the turn in take the next two rights and it brings you to the back and side with wide entrances. Long time patrons just know how to park there and create the rows themselves.“
“Great service, clean restaurant and the food was wonderful as always!Came to update my review to say the vegetarian selection is so good! It’s nice to have vegetarian meals that don’t have soy but are packed with a variety of vegetables. I got the vegetarian fajitas and the vegetarian ACP and I’ve had enough food for 4 meals. As a busy mom it was nice to find food packed with flavor and nutrients that I can pick up on the run.“
“These kind folks invited us into their restaurant as if it were their home, and treated us as such all the way through our meal, which was absolutely delicious. The green salsa had great heat and flavor. The horchata was sweet and refreshing. The seasoned meat was done to perfection. We’ll be back with more friends. Gracias, carnales.“
“This taco truck is, by far, the best one we have found around the Triad area (previously lived in Winston & Greensboro). The flavor and toppings are very authentic, the meat amount is nice and hefty, the homemade hot sauces are addictive and, to top it off, the owners are some of the nicest folks I have met. I think they know my order by heart by now ?. 100% recommend this place!“
“We didn't eat there but took carry out. The food was very delicious and, even in the carry out container, looked appealing. As I waited a few minutes for the order to be brought out, the dining area was clean and inviting. Conversations were buzzing and the staff were very attentive and friendly in serving the patrons. This was our first time, but won't be our last.“
“Salsa bar! This second taco shop :)Ceviche is not best had lots of onion and tomatoes and a bold vinegar tasteTostada was staleCarne asada tacos were over doneCabeza de res had More fatI wish the other place was open I love their food Bette“
“Always fun to go to. Been going for years, usually for lunch. Great service and never disappointing. Always ask for the "house" salsa and they will bring out a green one and a red one (hotter) different from the mild one they bring out for everyone.“
“Amazing service and food! They really set themselves apart from the countless Mexican restaurants in Alamance county. They have a more authentic take on their dishes and it’s so refreshing. Their drinks are beautifully presented. Highly recommend!“
“I had breakfast at this restaurant the staff are absolutely awesome from the door to the table you wait to be sorted and are immediately greeted at the door and taken to a comfortable booth drink ordered quickly taken. I had this huge cheese and onion omelette with home fries I’m sorry I didn’t immediately take a picture the food was sooo good . I’m sorry I didn’t take a picture before i ate the omelette was so big I took some homeParking: Plenty of spaceKid-friendliness: Very kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: This restaurant is huge with a slop for wheelchairs“
“Upon the recommendation of our great server, I had the Mojarra Frita. It was really good and I would order it again. The extras with the avocado and lime really matched it the serving size of the meat was perfect. I wish I remembered our server’s name. She took care of us.“
