17 Best Mexican Restaurants in Syracuse

“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!“

“The food is amazing, the margaritas are amazing and most important the staff is amazing! My family goes there regularly and we love it there!“

“I'm from Oklahoma, which is a lot closer to Mexico, so we had some really good Mexican food n street tacos.. almost made me feel like I was back home... The flavors were amazing and they had our order ready by the time we paid... Definitely recommend if ur n the area..“

“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“

“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 💕“

“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.“

“It was fantastic as always!“

“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.“

“Love Love Love !!!! Cozy laid back atmosphere with large menu.“

“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.“

“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!“

“The steak,egg and cheese burrito was the size of a man's forearm... and it was decadently delicious. It is not a dine in kind of place; however, if you want great take-out or Doordash delivered food... this spot fits the bill swimmingly.“

“We had a thoroughly joyful family dinner at Moe's Southwest Grill! We felt so lucky finding open booth seating right away because it was buzzing. The loaded customizable burritos were extraordinarily flavorful, while savory melted queso, seasoned chicken bowls, fresh chips, and salsas hit the spot completely. Big delicious Southwestern portions pleased everyone. Friendly staff made our day pleasant!“
