Mexican Restaurants near North Syracuse

“30 minute wait in the drive through with one car in front of me. Several high school aged employees standing around. A few other older employees working hard to keep up. My order sat on the counter bagged and ready to go for about 5 minutes before the young lady at the drive through (who was literally standing and hugging the cash register screen most of the time or looking at her phone while I was at the window) finally looked over and handed it to me. The order was correct and the food tasted fine. Maybe go inside for faster service? Or the other one a few minutes away.“

“My friend and I stopped there to eat before we went to the Landmark. We both ordered sangrias and taco salads. Salsa, chips and waters were delivered to the table without asking. Our server, James, was friendly and helpful. The food and drinks is were served quickly. The taco salads were delicious. Cost was about $35 per person. Any bill over $50 the tip was figured into the bill. Would come here again.“

“Excellent food. Meats and sauces are so flavorful and delicious. Even the rice and beans have a little something extra. Dishes are well portioned and fresh made. Tortilla chips and homemade sauce are perfect starters. The flan and ice cream are excellent ways to end the meal. Can’t wait till next time to try the specials!“

“Finally got to try some of their food after seeing them online over a year but missing their food trucks whenever they were in town. AMAZING!!! I got a beef quesadilla and my bf got a birria beef rice bowl. both fantastic!! (we both favored the quesadilla a little though). Highly recommend their food! The owner is an absolute sweetheart as well 💕“

“Great food, so flavorful

Questionable food safety and service but that first bite of burrito makes up for it 🤣

Just don't come expecting great customer service, you come for flavor only“

“Ponchito's Taqueria is a fantastic spot for anyone craving authentic Mexican tacos. The flavors are incredible—each taco is bursting with fresh ingredients and perfectly seasoned meat. The service is friendly and fast, which is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The cozy atmosphere makes it a great place to relax and enjoy your meal. I especially loved their al pastor tacos, which were juicy and flavorful. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area, and it won't break the bank either.“

“Fantastic food and now 100% gluten free! This makes my heart happy for the Celiac community!“

“Came to look around and ending up finding this place, the hot cheeto elote cup caught my eye. The owner was amazing and helpful and you could tell she put love and passion in her cooking. The hot Cheeto cup was delicious and can’t wait to come back and try more off the menu. Would recommend 💯.“

“Took hubby for birthday dinner in a blinding snowstorm from Moravia..was worth the white knuckles. Great atmosphere Megan( Red) made us welcome and got our drinks. Hubby had the steak and lobster($20 on Tues nites) awesome! I had the 12 os strip and fries($10). Never had it done so perfect!!( I like well and most char it) pretzel and cheese for dessert..lol and crispy but juicy wings were excellent! We will return its worth the drive!!!“

“4:30 AM at the airport and the service was polite and cheerful. The space is clean, bright and relatively quiet. Nothing fancy: no plush seats but functional. Eggs were fresh, you can get a bowl instead of a burrito and choose toppings. No hot tea, a small lack for me.“

“Food is sooo good! Love the empanadas, we miss the oxtail. Young woman always working at Seneca turnpike location is great, she should get a raise!“

“Great hidden gem in Tipp Hill! Check the bar’s Instagram page first, the menu changes a bit from time to time… but that’s what I like! Always spotting different things to try, Dennis is great. Very nice, hard working, and always cares about his customers. Steves is on my short list of places to get great food in Syracuse.“

“healthy, great tasting food. I've been ordering weekly for about 2 months. Great selection to choose from and with different sizes to satisfy everyone. Price point is spot on given the high quality ingredients.“

“I came in at around 5:30 on Monday, and I have to say, this has to be the best location I’ve been to in at least 6 years. The staff, though they were busy, were very kind and greeted me with a nice loud “Welcome to Moe’s” The food prep area and the lobby were very clean as well. On top of all of that, my food was absolutely delicious, i had a burrito so fat that i almost thought they weren’t going to be able to roll it!, my wife was surprised i finished it all. thank you to the ladies and young gentleman for making my night and i will be returning!“

“we love there food. we can't stay away.“

The menu features fan favorites like crunchy and soft tacos, quesadillas, burritos, and nachos, with creative sauces and toppings that keep the core items fun and flavorful even on repeat visits. The ordering experience — whether at the counter, drive‑thru, or app — is efficient, and food typically arrives hot and ready to enjoy.“
