38 Best Mexican Restaurants near Virginia City

“My family of 5 stopped in for lunch. The staff were friendly and welcoming. They put a movie on for my boys to watch and made a special little plate of rice and beans for my baby. The food was fresh and delicious. I ordered the chimichanga with steak and it was perfectly golden and not greasy. The steak was tender and tasty. The salsas were plenty spicy and tasted great. My son had the super burrito and my wife and middle son split a chicken quesadilla, and they were all very happy with the taste.

Kid-friendliness: High chair available and a fun family movie was played to entertain the boys.“

“Their food is always good, but the lack of an online, up to date menu, makes to go ordering frustrating“

“I love this place! I go here every time I’m nearby. Food and service couldn’t be better.“

“very friendly and fast, food is soooooo good! highly recommended and I've have Mexican food from the east coast to Texas to San Diego and Mexico.“

“we love lady tamale we have been customers since before she got either of her restaurants. great food. cheerful service. can't go wrong.“

“This lady started her business selling tamales from her car almost 30 years ago. She has had her own store front now for several years. Extremely hard work and the best damn tamale In 500 miles!
She has a small, little cafe that local work crews like to frequent, but most of her business is take out.
Posole and Rice pudding is absolutely amazing!

You WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH ANY DISH!“

“good food fast service luv it I'll be back“

“One of the best, if not the best taco wagons we’ve found in all of Washoe County! I love tamales and always try them at Mexican restaurants, 9 out of 10 times they’re overfilled with masa and little to no meat and DRY. Not these at TMG- even my husband will eat these as he says all tamales are small, dry and full of masa. I’ve never ordered tamales from the same rest twice except here. Serving portion on all their food is grande. Cannot say I have a favorite dish here as I love the shrimp enchiladas and the tamales are top notch. My husband says the burritos are #1 but I always stick to the tamales and enchiladas. Some day I’ll try them! The enchiladas serve 2, and the tamales are the largest I’ve seen, so one served with rice & beans will have you filled!“

“Such a great place! You won't be disappointed...the owners put their heart and soul into creating a great experience and it really shows!“

“I've a regular customer for a long time & always have a great time here.I really love the beef tacos & it's my favorite place .The service is great ! Ambrose Sinsun.“

“We've made this our Sunday afternoon spot. Excellent tacos, shrimp cocktail & refreshing drinks. We have never had a bad meal here. Always plenty to eat. Fun decor & nice people. Juan always comes out of the cocina to see if we enjoyed our food. I recommend this place all the time.“

“best Mexican food we have had in carson. wish we would have gone there years ago. service was great as well.“

“We are from San Jose CA and we visit this place for the first time in 2018 while in vacation, it's a small place so we didn't think it will be so delicious. First time we tried the pupusas only, good size and very tasty for the price. Good service and I liked they have a bar for salsas and toppings available. Second time was this year, we had to stop on our way to Nevada city and this time we had pupusas, menudo and the fried yuca with pork that was so good?. We were so hungry that we didn't even think of taking pictures but I really recommend this small place, it is clean, good service good prices but the food it's amazing and tasty?. Can't wait to go again soon!“

“I come in frequently and everytime I order oysters they are tiny , they used to be good size or large ,not even an extra to make up for the loss or a discount for something not worth paying for. The seafood soup is good but the fake crab is horrible better to remove it or change type of crab for a better one .I'll give it a try soon to see if anything changes and hopefully the micheladas are better too ,just beer and clamato won't do in my opinion“

“Personas muy amables nos atendieron y sirvieron nuestra mesa con comida de primera. El molcajete Tres carnes (3 meats molcajete) es espectacular , incluso llevé parte de este ya que es una porción grande y al día siguiente lo degusté en mi almuerzo. Las fajitas y la sopa de tortilla que degustamos fueron tan buenas que hoy me encuentro haciendo este review sentado nuevamente en una mesa del Restaurante Águila Real ordenando nuevamente la Sopa de tortilla y probando otro nuevo platillo el cual estoy seguro estará delicioso. Este restaurante atendido por una madre y sus tres hijos y con precios razonables está altamente recomendado en mi opinión“

“I went there today and the staff was SOOO welcoming and friendly!! The food was SOOOOO good that I ate too much and skipped dinner after eating lunch there!! I am very grateful to have such amazing food so close to where I live! Can NOT recommend this place enough! Thank you!“

“el molcajete siempre será el número uno. También están los camarones a la diabla el menudo con sus tortillas hechas a mano. Que más quieren, asada fríes quesabirrias mmmmm ya tengo hambre otra vez“

“Dined in with my boss last week while working nearby. I had their chicken chimichanga and my boss ordered a chicken burrito with rice. Service was quick and friendly. Their food was okay and no complaints on their prices. I suggest AC for those hotter days. The restaurant was dark and hot and it was hot outside. I don't know that I loved or disliked my meal.“

“Went out for lunch with our landlord after we moved out. He's not from the area so asked for suggestions. Picked here because food is always very good. Most consistent Mexican restaurant I've had here. 10/10 recommend to anybody that's looking for a new place“

“Happened to be driving past when i saw the taco banner, and I had to stop. This is going to be my new favorite Mexican restaurant. This hidden gem actually seasons their meat with more than just salt, lol. Thank you guys for the amazing food and atmosphere.“

“Great food, love their Tacos and Burritos! Can’t wait to try other dishes. Definitely worth trying⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Horrible experience… waited an hour and half for our order. They skipped over our order. When we asked them after seeing everyone that was in line behind us get their food they made an excuse about having issues with their propane. They then said we would have to wait another 30 mins for our food. We asked for a refund instead of waiting.HORRIBLE customer service.“

“Beautiful restaurant with a great bar area & lovely dining room. Clean & inviting with the dining room feeling open and airy, as well as also managing to feel intimate and secluded. The food is delicious & the margaritas are amazing (my favorite is the guava). Make sure to save room for dessert because the deep fried ice cream is by far the best in town!“

“I really liked the place! The food was so good the place was so clean! But, it seemed like the place was short on staff and there were like 3 people other than me in the entire place. I did get my food pretty fast though. Also I really recommend the fried ice cream it’s so good!“

“Awesome little store jam packed with clothes, dresses, really neat cowboy boots, hats, kids wear, and they have a little food place attached where you can get snacks, candy, piñatas. Honestly kind of fun to walk through just to see what they have.“

“Great food! the wait is worth it. If you're patient is fine, but a little tip for those inpatient people; call ahead, you wont regret it.“

“Lupita, sorry if the spelling is wrong, is a great hostess and the food is amazing. If you’re looking for authentic Nayarit dishes, the seafood here is off the hook. I heard about this place so I had to drive from Southlake Tahoe to come check it out definitely worth it. I had the fish tacos. Also ask for their hot sauce which is really amazing. It has a perfect hint of heat and sweet.“

“A very good Mexican fast food chain, nice staff, not bad decoration and Latin music! We had children's menus + quesadillas and salad served in very good avocado chicken nachos with excellent homemade sauces. I recommend without hesitation in the US!

Vegetarian options: Not concerned but yes there are dishes without meat

Kid-friendliness: Yes but no playground just that there is a choice of places to eat

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes all on the ground floor no steps“

“We were on vacation visiting my brother in Reno and this is one of he & his wife's favorite places to have breakfast so he took us to the cafe and it was awesome. Everybody loved their food!

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“I came in for the first time today and it was nice the place was clean and very quiet. I had the 1 enchilada and 1 taco combo with bean and rice AND IT WAS AMAZING THE ASADA WAS SEASONED WELL the people were really nice and I definitely look forward to going back!“

“very good food was passing through will definitely eat there again“

“All the food is great, especially the BBQ Chicken Pizza“

“I put in a very large Catering order, for a company meeting, the day before I needed it. To be ready right after they opened. I knew this was running the risk of it being prepared late and I was ready to go to the store and wait. However, when I arrived at 11:20, the staff was finished with the order, had it packaged very securely and efficiently, even helped me take it to my car. The food was fresh, perfectly portioned and my team was SO happy with it all. Thank you, Damonte Ranch crew for a job WELL done! Appreciate your hard work!“

“I'll have to go back and get pictures but there is a fantastic yellow food truck parked outside of the BattleBorn battery at this location. Food was absolutely amazing, we had the quesabirria tacos and chicken quesadilla, meats were fresh and seasoned well. Green and red salsas were home made and good as well!Highly recommend if you see this on Google maps. First time and hoping to see this truck here frequently“

“Had some tacos at Nevada day, and honestly they are the best I’ve ever had. I cannot wait to eat here again“

“Prices went up but despite that it was still good. However, if the prices go up I heard someone in the booth across from us say the food should be more fulfilling. I was pleased but SOME people are not. Just food for thought. But hey, can't please everyone. Times are difficult. Thank you for the food and good hospitality ?“

“Yes it's weird to rate fast food 5 stars BUT-I have a lot of odd dietary restrictions so I order my food with omissions and substitutions regularly. This is one of the few places that I can ask for my weird food and they make it RIGHT EVERY TIME. I can't say that for many "5 star rated" restaurants.Thanks to the crew- I appreciate it!!!“

“The food was surprisingly delicious when I went some time ago. I had an odd craving, when I hadn't had any fast food tacos for over 3 years or so and was satisfied by the three tacos and burrito that I purchased. It all hit the spot, paired with their Diabolo Sauce (that sauce was quite interesting. It bites back more than good old Fire).

They were awarded 3 stars for service not because they were slow or rude. It was mostly about their not providing curbside service. Also, they close their restaurant far earlier than I like. I had similar cravings at least 3 times that I can recall, and usually later in the evening. Being deaf, going through the drive through is not an option for me. I went to the door those times, expecting to be able to satisfy an itch. But those times I went elsewhere to places that know how to treat a customer.

I wonder why they feel it necessary to lock the doors so early in the day? That is strange to me.“
