24 Best Mexican Restaurants near Leicester

“Very cool place. There's the taco truck out front and the little store behind. I've only been in the store a couple of times (Seriously, I'm the whitest Scots-Irish guy you know), but it had some interesting Mexican/Hispanic products. The candy was really cool.

The taco truck is what I usually hit when I visit. The portions are enormous. This is not Taco Bell stuff. A single taco comes with two soft corn tortillas and enough stuffing for both. They come with onion, cilantro, radish, lime wedge, your choice of meat, and (though I always decline it - did say I was super white, right?) a grilled jalapeno. The green sauce is so flavorful without being too hot. Mom loves the quesadilla.

Just be cautious pulling in/out. The bottom of the drive is kind of washed out and lumpy. Easier to come and go from the drive near Sluder's (Eastbound) unless you have a truck or SUV.“

“Absolutely phenomenal! Tortilleria Molina has quickly become one of my favorite local spots. I’ve tried both the chicken and steak tacos, as well as the steak and pork burritos — and every single bite has been nothing short of amazing. The flavors are rich and authentic, the meat is always perfectly cooked, and everything tastes incredibly fresh. You can tell they put real heart into their food. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or sitting down for dinner, this place delivers every time. Highly recommend!“

“Best mexican food truck in Asheville. We always order 15 minutes before going to get the food and they always have it ready to be pick up. We always get carnitas burritos and couple tacos. They were always good. Authentic Mexican food that are affordable.“

“Great food with great service! I will be back ALOT!“

“Amazing!!!! We came to this restaurant because they offer corn smut (huitolocoche) as a vegetarian option. \n\nI ordered the quesadilla with the corn smut and it was excellent!!!! I’ve never tried it before and am so excited to add this to my menu. We asked and they get it fresh from Mexico. \n\nI ordered two tacos as well. One nopal (cactus) taco, fresh and out of this world good. The other was the squash blossom which I could eat every day!!!!!\n\nI like to leave positive reviews when possible and this restaurant’s food is so good I just had to review. \n\nI’m from out of town and sadly can’t visit this restaurant unless I’m in town again but if I come back i definitely will.“

“I’ve been coming to their truck in West Asheville every weekend for at least 5 years. It’s hands down the best Mexican food in town and beats any sit down restaurant. Even simple tacos and quesadillas are amazing. They are an exceptionally kind family and provide great services, always remembering the names of locals. I look forward to my quesadilla and tacos every weekend.“

“The food was good and the service was great 😊 😋“

“One of the better family-owned Mexican restaurants in the region.

My old joke that a good Mexican restaurant has a big TV and a soccer game running stands true here as well.

But what makes this place great is the food. It is more California Mex, which this former Californian misses.

Basic as it is, I almost always get the chicken burrito. Interesting blend of flavors, and just the right amount of sour cream to carry the entire meal.“

“The best in Asheville . Fast Friendly service . Everything I have ordered has been spot on..“

“This is my second time ordering delivery from you via Door Dash and you guys are fantastic! Whatever you are doing, you do it right! I had my order at my door step in less than 20 mins this evening! Last week I had it in about the same time! Your food is incredible, prices are reasonable and everything is piping hot. Thank you so much!“

“Best Mexican restaurant in the area! 100% recommend it.“

“We wanted Mexican food tonight and decided to give the Merrimon Avenue location a try. (Take out). The order was ready when I arrived. We are very pleased with the food. The Nacho Supremes were great and the Enchiladas Supreme were excellent. Would recommend that if you want Mexican food, this is the place to go.“

“If you are looking for awesome authentic tacos... LOOK NO FURTHER. This little joint is a perfect pit stop to top off your hunger and enjoy tacos. A micro FAMILY owned taco shop. Support these awesome people by enjoying their amazing food. Wouldn't recommend if you are looking for a traditional Mexican restaurant experience - this is more like a taco stand with a place to sit. A++++++

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!“

“Trinity is the only person I know by name, but literally every employee here has been super helpful and nice! AMAZING service Trinity! Best location in ASHEVILLE 10000000 stars!“

“I lived very close to this place for years but only went twice. The first experience was about a 2 star as the meat was dry and not tasty and I felt like it was overpriced (circa 2022). Then a month ago I went on a random weekday for happy hour specials and the mini nachos option and a marg redeemed this place. It was exactly what I wanted.“

“Our server was wonderful, so kind and happy! I enjoyed that this place feels like a mom and pop shop, they have a great patio, and the biggest Agua Fresca I’ve ever had. The food hit the spot, just wish they went a little heavier on the cheese and sauce on some dishes!“

“Our dinner was Simply Delicious!“

“Lengua and carnada were good. Best we've had so far in Haywood. Salsa was good with a little kick. Chicken enchiladas were good too. Margaritas were good, not too sweet from syrup. Our server was nice and running his but off. Overall good experience. Place was packed when we got there around 7:15 on a Tuesday.“

“I love this place, the people who work in there are really funny and they usually get my order right. Sometimes they don’t call my name when my food is ready or they forget to make my food for a while, but they’re nice about it so I don’t mind.“
