11 Best Mexican Restaurants in Statesville

“Absolutely delicious! We will be coming back!“

“Friendly service and great food!“

“This is the authentic mom-and-pop, hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant you are looking for.

My fiancée and I love this place. Mi Familia has to be one of the only restaurants in all of Statesville that we can go to and expect a consistent experience. I have yet to be disappointed when we come here — except when they’re closed or away on vacation!

As a California kid who grew up loving street tacos, Mi Familia really brings that true home-cooked flavor to the table. I often order carne asada tacos with onion and cilantro (pretty standard, I know), and my fiancée always gets arroz con pollo — and despite being a picky eater, I have yet to hear a complaint about her order.

Surprisingly, I don’t have any photos at the table here, but their overall presentation is good. The flavor is on point, all the time, every time. Staff is friendly and always welcoming; they always seem happy that you’re there. This isn’t fine-dining in any capacity, so don’t expect to be waited on like table-service restaurants; seat yourself and someone will be with you with the quickness, though, and if you need something don’t be shy to get up and ask at the counter — they won’t bite, I promise.

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for an eating experience that feels like you were invited to eat your favorite tío’s cooking.

Parking: Plenty of parking, but riddled with potholes. It doesn’t really bother me none (and I drive a slammed car), but for the less attentive, I would simply advise you be cautious when you pull in.“

“Food was great and service was awesome! Like being at family for dinner!“

“I have been eating here for years. I order My meal extra spicy and they provide it. Recently tried 2 other Mexican restaurants because they were much closer. Never again. I will stick with Cozumel even though it’s a 35 min drive for me.“

“Hand made tortillas made fresh daily.. we love our customers.. Thank you“

“Muy buen servicio al cliente . amables. limpios comida rica y rápida recomendable“

“Trust me, order the birria tacos!

The place is brightly lit up like a summer day in Florida, with no decor and no paper towels in the bathroom. But the biggest drawback is a tip system that does not allow a custom tip. If I’m picking up food the minimum percentage is 15%. Yes I could have said no tip but don’t mind giving a couple dollars for takeout, but not minimum 15%. If the interior was more welcoming I’d have dined it.

But the food was really good!“

“Good food good atmosphere.“

“Quesa Birria tacos are the best in the Carolinas. We travel around to dozens of Mexican restaurants and these tacos are my favorite. The roast meat is tender, the dipping sauce is favorable, and the shell is crispy. The other food is excellent also, but this is now my goto. The atmosphere and service is great as well. I'm always surprised that the place isn't more crowded.“
