36 Best Mexican Restaurants near Oak Ridge

“absolutely delicious! server Oscar was outstanding!! very quick and prompt service from hostess and server! highly recommend!“

“Tonight was my family’s first time eating at El Alebrije ! Food was hot and fast! Queso had just enough of a kick to it . The plates are huge! I got an ACP and could have easily split it with my husband. Price of our meal was great too for a family of 5!“

“About as good as you can possibly get for flavors. I have yet to order a meal that I don't enjoy thoroughly from here, but especially like the mango chicken dish.

Parking: Parking is shared with the rest of strip mall, so while there is lots of parking you might have to park a little bit further than you originally want to, but it is worth the walk across the parking lot from the far end.

Wheelchair accessibility: While it is wheelchair accessible, there are a limited amount of tables that are convenient for wheelchair users so you may have a longer wait for one to free up.“

“The competition for Mexican food around here is stiff. This place is good. Service is up and down a little more than I like. Frankly the last time I was here it wasn’t very good at all. The food is good. Large menu. My pick. Mexico City tacos.“

“Great experience at El Camino Real tonight! I ordered the (four) taco (Tuesday) special, half asada and half carnitas. Pretty amazing, highly recommend! 🌮“

“The service was a little slow but not terrible. It would have been nice to have seen more of the waiter. But the food was excellent. Very delicious. And the frozen margarita was perfect. I will definitely return to this restaurant.

EDIT: We ate again at this restaurant last night and everything was perfect including the service. I LOVE their food. If you're looking for excellent Mexican food in the Triad, you need to check this place out.“

“If you crave true authentic Mexican food I highly recommend this guy. I’ve tried many Mexican food trucks but this is by far the absolute best. Get the pork belly tacos. Oh my fat belly!“

“We’ve eaten here before and remember having really good margaritas so decided to do so again. Their margaritas are always good and they were only $6.99. My friend got Mango and I got Guava. They taste delicious and are perfectly blended. We also appreciated the free chips and salsa that you receive immediately.“

“We absolutely love the food, the patio, and the menu with crayons for kids. It is one of our go-to spots in town. My only suggestion is to check the bag before you leave (if you get takeout) and make sure your chips are there. We’ve had a few issues with chips missing.“

“I can’t recommend this restaurant enough! The food was amazing, the service was impeccable (Christopher was so friendly and did not miss a beat with the salsa and drink refills). I would venture to say this is probably the best Mexican restaurant I’ve been to. So glad we stumbled upon it on our way home from vacation. We will definitely make this a regular food stop on our trips to NC!“

“The food was fresh and good.
The amount of rice and beans was a bit small and the carne asada was very thin.
My wife ordered flautas and they were good as well, But barely had any chicken in them.
Prices are OK, not the best for what you get.“

“Great tasting food! Im addicted🤤“

“My favorite Mexican restaurant in Greensboro!! The food is always SO GOOD and the drinks are a 10/10 every time. Decent portions, decent prices. 10/10 recommend to anyone who likes Mexican food!!

“Delicious and authentic Hispanic food! Atmosphere was pleasant; like a diamond in the rough. “Hole in the wall!” I will definitely be back. The employees were very sweet and informative. 5 stars!!“

“Food was good and hot. We were served promptly with a smile. Waitress was attentive and pleasant we got what we ordered in a timely manner. I can say I live near here so been here plenty and the food is always consistent. If your near the location then it's worth the stop to get the belly filled.“

“Ever since the new owners took over this Barberitos in Kernersville it’s been like a whole new restaurant. The people working there are awesome! I’d like to single out one in particular… Sean. He’s the man! It doesn’t matter what day it is he always has a great attitude and willing to go out of his way to make sure everyone is happy. It might be a simple gesture like bringing our food to the table. My family and I dine here every other week sometimes a couple weeks in a row. Before the new owners took over, we never knew what to expect when we dined there. Personally, I like fresh avocado in my burrito and not guacamole, however way back when it was rare to see fresh avocado… Not now! As for Sean, I would do everything you need to do to keep this guy around… I’d pay him more if you have to. Good people are hard to come by these days.“

“Diamond in the rough in this area. Got a chicken gyro and a philly cheesesteak. A lot of people complain about not enough meat, but from my experience it had a perfect amount of meat.
Honestly delicious, go if you can. I know I'll be back for sure.“
