13 Best Mexican Restaurants near Waynesville

“SINCE I LIVE RIGHT BEHIND LOWE'S AND HAVE SEEN THEIR TRUCK THERE, I POPPED OVER TO GET SOME LUNCH. THEY SERVE THE ABSOLUTE BEST PAPUSAS I HAVE EVER EATEN. THEY ARE COOKED PERFECTLY, A LITTLE CRISP AND THE CHEESE AND CHICKEN WERE JUST SPOT ON. TYPICALLY I HAVE ONLY HAD A RED SAUCE SERVED WITH PAPUSAS, BUT THEIR GREEN SAUCE WENT VERY WELL WITH THE SLAW. I ALSO ORDERED A GORDITA, BUT COULD NOT EAT DUE TO BEING TOO FULL FROM THE PAPUSAS, WHICH COME 3 TO AN ORDER. FANTASTIC PRODUCT.“

“We went here for the first time the other day and it was incredible. I was blown away by the 100% health inspection rating and the awards. Then when we got our food we realized why they were so highly awarded. I git the steak Torta and it was delicious; my fiance got the steak borrito and he was very satisfied. The servings are on the larger side so their pricing is worth it! And everyone was so friendly and nice!“

“Great place“

“We love Los Amigos! This family run restaurant does it all right! We have a vegetarian and also a gluten-free diner in the family and there are lots of options! The staff is so friendly, the margaritas and food are so delicious, and the restaurant is clean as can be inside and out. We recommend the Pollo Chipotle, Fiesta Bowl and Pollo Santa Fe- but everything is good!“

“My fiancé and I dinned in tonight with our 4 month old son for Valentine’s Day! The food was absolutely out of this world! Steak was cooked perfectly, the potatoes were literally to die for, the asparagus was crunchy and fresh, and our crab cake🤤🤤🤤 everything was so perfect and the atmosphere was perfect. You could taste the love that’s made into the food! We felt so welcomed with our baby, it was our first real big dinner since he’s been born! Mama had to eat!🍴🥩 We love Fuego! Our server Maddie (I believe that was her name), was also fantastic! Checked in with us and made sure everything was perfect! If you’re wondering if you should try Fuego…answer is, YES! The owners David and Leah are so dedicated to their work and to show their love for every single customer, it’s all a big family and you can feel it the second you walk in!❤️“

“I grew up eating at this restaurant, and didn’t realize I took it for granted! I have moved around several states and have yet to find Mexican restaurants and dishes that are close to comparable. A Mexican restaurant that is worth our 90 minute drive 😋“

“Delicious and authentic tacos (and other dishes like tamales), with reasonable prices. Highly recommended!“

“I don't know why this location is so much better than every other location of Taco Bell, but they run a tight ship. Never messed up an order even when I have weird alterations.

It's gotten to the point that I won't even eat at a Taco Bell unless it's this location because I'll end up disappointed.“

“we've been going there for years with kids now taking granddaughter there always exceptional food and service“

“I love the food and the service, except for the guy who yanked a dollar bill out of my hand. All the food made up for it though!“

“The shrimp 🍤 🌮 were sooooo bomb 💣. I’m a very picky eater in Mexican like restaurants because I’m originally from Deep South Texas so it’s not the same. But I will definitely be back for them shrimp 🍤 tacos 🌮 . U satisfied my cravings that day 😊 Thank You“

“The workers all seem pretty good at their jobs. More often than not, they are courteous. I feel like the speed of service is very acceptable. Rarely do I ever wait an unreasonable time. My biggest complaint is that occasionally, I don't get a spork for my fiesta potatoes. All in all, this is a good taco bell for sure.

Vegetarian options: I've tried a few of the vegetarian options here, not because I'm veg, but because I enjoy it. Highly recommend the black bean options.“
