14 Best Mexican Restaurants near Newport

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

“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“

“The Best Flan In All The Land.

I am always on the hunt for a good flan. For years, I’ve ordered it wherever I can. I can say with all confidence that Costa Bonita’s is PERFECT! Good portion size, lots of yummy caramel sauce, and perfectly baked. The custard texture is just like it should be with just enough baking to the edges.

Well done!!

ETA: I always order flan without extra toppings.“

“Got a take out order, and the food was on time and good, got home to try the food, I was not disappointed it was very good and flavorful. I used to go to Mucho Bueno, never again will I go to Mucho Bueno. LA PATRONA Cocina Mexicana y Margaritas is 20x better and has way more flavor. I will be going back regularly.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We love Mucho Buenos food! Tried the Ramen Birria and Carne Asada fries and it was all delicious! Everything always tastes and looks so good! 🍜 ❤️“

“Amazing food and atmosphere ❤️❤️“

“Prolly the best Mexican food I've ever had. Amazing! My son is over 9 so they charged $2 more for a kids meal which shouldn't be allowed.. But food was amazing!“

“Got the huge pupusa with four toppings (I chose jalapeño, zucchini, spinach, and loroco) to go. OMG! , soo stinkin good and worth every penny of the $16.00(with tax) price tag! Plus all the little baggies of salsa and slightly spicy picked veggies. Again I will say, OMG! , YUMM!!!“

“One of our favorite spots to grab a beer and a bite to eat when we come to Atlantic Beach. 10/10 would definitely recommend!“

“Always a great place, an authentic Mexican restaurant. Love the blend of flavors and the freshness of the food. Recommended it highly!!!“

“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!!“
