22 Best Mexican Restaurants near Zephyr Cove

“The 5-star reviews set high expectations. You can view this place two ways: lean into the nostalgic charm of a unique, seemingly authentic, cash-only hole-in-the-wall and call it 5 stars, or take a more objective view, which lands closer to 4.

The overgrown trailer counter service setting feels genuinely authentic, and the menu is extensive. Service is quick if it’s empty, but expect a wait when it’s busy. I ordered the marinated beef burrito: decent portion, overall good, but fairly bland with pretty dry meat. I ended up relying on multiple rounds of tomatillo hot sauce (also not vary flavorful) to boost the flavor. Orange oil eventually starts dripping out of the tortilla, which I couldn’t decide was a positive badge of authenticity or unneeded lubricant for a later trip to the toilet.

At around $10 in South Tahoe, it’s satisfying and a decent value, and I’d come back (likely try other menu items.) But it’s not a 5-star spot unless you’re heavily weighting the family-run, trailer-based charm over the food itself. If “authentic” to you means mild flavor and oil dripping, it fits. Otherwise, go in with tempered tastebud expectations and you'll definitely enjoy it. Solid 4 stars.“

“Great vegan and other dishes.“

“Ordered a super burrito, barria plate and a torta it was a lot for a fair price too. I enjoyed every bite 😊“

“Delicious! Definitely order the Guac and Chipotle tacos!“

“We stopped by here on our scooters… great food!! Highly recommend!“

“The carnitas meat in my tacos was amazing. So tender and moist, great salsa and salsa bar. The wife had huevos rancheros she loved it and our beans and rice were great too. Noticed everyone coming in was greeted through the kitchen window by the chef/owner. And he came out and was talking to us and another couple next table over. And offered us free Mexican desserts from bakery next door. So friendly like everyone was family. Food was so fresh and tasty, so authentic. Oh also very reasonable prices too.“

“Great authentic tacos. New favorite spot for tacos in the South Lake Tahoe area. Haven’t found a better one yet.“

“Delicious food, great service, very satisfying!!!!“

“delicious food and drinks. the rice is the best, like the rice my gramma taught me to make. authentic homemade Mexican food taste. I will eat here every time I visit SLT. It's like eating at home. All staff speaks Spanish also so it feels more like home. love this place. drinks are awesome too.“

“They charged us 15.00 for a plain margarita and 15.00 for a alacart chilli Reno common man what a rip off we are locals but not anymore here .“

“I moved to Tahoe in 2003 and this was my absolute favorite place to eat. We moved to gardnerville 8 years ago and I really miss eating there, I wish they would open a restaraunt here. The owner was super nice and remembered his customers and treated them like friends.“

“laid back jovial atmosphere. awesome beer selection California & Nevada. try a flight not a one was disappointing. The shining star was the staff“

“Had a great experience. Nick the bartender was great. Friendly, polite and attentive. Would definitely return.“

“Love the decorations. It gives you the feeling of being in Mexico. Service was extraordinary. It looks like it is family own. The guy at the register was very friendly and did not mind in answering all my questions about the food. My family of four all loved their plates. We got carne asada tacos, tostada de ceviche, quesabirrias, and a carne asada plate. The horchata was delicious. Will definitely come again.“

“We stopped at Super Tacos for a quick bite before heading to the Gondola. We each got 2 carne asada tacos and they were really good. I liked that they use 2 tortillas and cook the outer one a little more so the taco doesn’t fall apart—smart move.

I added guac to mine which was tasty, but the real winner was the green chili salsa… wow, so good and full of flavor. Service was fine, nothing amazing, but it’s an outdoor-only spot so it’s all about the food anyway.

I’d definitely come back and try a burrito next time.“

“I am extremely picky when reviewing fast food spots because I travel so much and this location is one of the top.
My food looked like the pictures and was very fresh.

Annoyed I wasn't coming here fromt the start of the week. Excellent location.“

“Nice on mountain ski lodge with basic foods and drinks but decent seating. Have a good array of indoor, partially outdoor, and outdoor seating between comet and dipper lifts. Food choices are limited and of varying quality. On weekends, they have the grills going with hot dogs, hamburgers, and sausages.typical prices for on mountain restaurants, meaning double the price you would expect in town.“

“This Taco Bell on Emerald Bay Rd is way better than the one on 50 nearer Stateline. The staff here have always been very friendly and their food has always been great! They're very helpful with menu choices and even if I'm closer to the other one, I come here instead.Please tell whoever makes the menus, keep Enchiritos ALL THE TIME!! (And tostadas too).“
