26 Best Mexican Restaurants in Hamilton

“two words absolutely delicious! without doubt you should stop reading this and just head over there amazing food fresh The Man Behind the Counter does an amazing job I highly recommend it get there now stop reading this.thos place was refreshing the nacho omg“

“Estuve en el lugar y me sentí en México, que deliciosa comida y los dueños del lugar unas personas muy amables, recomiendo 100% este lugar vayan a probar sus exquisitas comidas.“

“This small, family-owned operation offers a selection of prepared foods via Tacomex and snacks through Frida's Snack Bar. The space feels small and straightforward, with a mix of menu items posted on the wall that customers can reference as they decide what to order. A notable feature is the wall display that makes the offerings easy to read and compare at a glance. We also noted that the restaurant accepts both credit and debit cards, which adds convenience for customers who prefer non-cash payments. However, they might be slow during concert days, ranging from 30+min for orders to turn around. One of the better taco places that we have tried!

The wall menu highlights a range of Mexican-inspired options, including Chicken Quesadilla, Quesabirria, Torta, various taco fillings (Pastor, Chicken, Birria, Bistec, Suadero, Chorizo), and Shrimp Tacos, along with snack options like Elotes, Esquites, and Doritos-esquites. During our visit, we ordered the triple tacos with Chicken, Birria, and Suadero. The tacos were prepared well and presented neatly, with a red and green sauce that had a noticeable but balanced spice level. The flavours were delicious, and we appreciated the variation among the fillings. Even after bringing the food back to our nearby hotel, the quality remained good in takeaway form.

In terms of service and location, this is a small, family-run operation, and the atmosphere reflects the friendly but with potential fluctuation in service speed, particularly during peak times when there are concert events in Hamilton. We noticed that turnarounds can be longer than typical restaurant expectations, so customers should plan for a slower pace during busier periods, about 30-40 minutes. The building itself is simple and functional, with the primary point of reference being the menu wall.“

“We highly recommend this restaurant. The food is delicious, the portions are generous, the prices are very reasonable and the service is excellent and friendly. If you would like authentic mexican food, Mesa is the place to go ito enjoy a nice meal and great service. The owner is a wonderful person who always makes sure that the clients are satisfied. They also have the best churros in town!“

“We ordered a catering order from barBurrito for a large group lunch. Medha-the staff member who helped with our order form beginning to end- was particularly helpful with any questions that arose and her service was truly excellent. She should definitely be commended for all of the food that she prepared single-handedly. We will return.“

“I don’t usually write reviews about places, but my friend & I decided to come here for something light after our little adventure around hamilton. It was my first time trying this place & absolutely loved it. We ordered the calamari & tacos which were divine. All the flavours were there. We didn’t order anything with alcohol in it, but the drinks we had were still good too! I don’t wanna say her name out of respect (starts with a J), but our waitress was also super friendly & has good banter! Overall, it was a great experience & I’ll definitely be coming back 😌“

“we walked past this food stall when visiting the Hamilton Farmers' Market and were attracted by all the colorful food, the big jars of pickled serrano, macha chili oil and creamy arbol. I ordered a mixed plate of tacos, quesidillas and pupusas. it was delicious!“

“Had a wonderful experience here today! The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the service was impressively quick. The food portions were large and offered great value.
Hetal, was incredibly kind and informative. She really stands out for her positive attitude and ability to create such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Her excellent customer service made our visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back!“

“Always fresh and delicious! Frequently dine here for lunch as they have healthy options!“

“I’ve tried many burrito places like Mucho Burrito and others, but Burrito Boys is definitely one of the best places I’ve been to. The taste was amazing, everything was fresh, and the burrito was made perfectly.

A special thanks to Paneri for the excellent customer service. She was very friendly, welcoming, and always had a smile on her face. The way she made the burrito was perfect, and you can really tell she cares about customers. Great experience overall, highly recommended!“

“Great fresh and casual food done very well! Excellent service and great atmosphere Stop in and check it out if you’re in the area“

“Amazing food Taste really fresh“

“Awesome food, great atmosphere, killer service. Nachos were some of the best I've ever had. Everything was fresh, delicious and super filling.“

“O.M.G. too many goods things to list. My taste buds and belly are so happy!! oh and get the cheesecake!! ♡♡♡“

“Always fresh and delicious! Frequently dine here for lunch as they have healthy options!“

“I didn’t order there but we were greeted by very sweet staff. A stranger we were helping who was lost from her friends and drunk had to get some water and they gave her two refills. They didn’t have a cup but they made something work so she could have water. She also asked about handing back an opened pop and they said no and they handled her state well and I really respect the staff here. The night we were greeted with a lot of rude staff other places so I respect it! Best.“

“I had a great experience at Quesada on Upper James. The service was friendly, fast, and welcoming. The food was incredibly fresh, and every bite was packed with flavor. The portion size was more than enough, making it excellent value for the price. Everything was perfectly seasoned, and the flavors were absolutely on point. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“ABSOLUTELY HANDS DOWN THE BEST LOCATION IVE EVER ORDERED FROM!! Trust me I should own stocks in Taco Bell I’ve been obsessed since I was a kid! So I’ve been to A LOT of locations. I eat it three times a week if not more lol GUYS YOU ARE KILLING IT! ALWAYS fresh great portion sizes and honestly it just tastes soooooo much better! Hats off to the staff! I’ve ordered so many times from you and it’s always CONSISTENT! The only thing I’d change is your hours lol I hate having to order from upper James because you’re closed :(“

“I’ve ordered from this location many times since it opened in the Centre Mall food court. I’ve always been very pleased with the food quality, choice and service. The only mildly disappointing things I’ve experienced is a churro order is over priced given it’s only one churro and I wish I had the option of no sauce. Also, I was really bummed when they stopped doing burrito bowls with tortilla shells, now it just comes in a take out (for the same price). Over all though those are minor things. I’m quite happy with Bar Burrito“

“love tacos and the staff is always nice!“

“We were out on an errand and saw there was a Taco Bell nearby. Our local one closed recently, so we decided to stop in. We each got a combo and split it. (2 chalupas and a crunch wrap supreme). Everything was great! (Exactly what one would expect at Taco Bell).“

“Big, spacious location, reasonably clean & large individual, mobility & gender-friendly washrooms [at least at the time of my visit]. My high school friend since 25 years ago hadn't had Taco Bell in THREE. YEARS. Last year, I ordered UberEats from the location in question [677 Upper James] & was hesitant because the portions didn't match the crazy price I paid but that's UE for you. So high school friend was visiting me from Montréal where the people are far too picky for junk tacos. We grew up hankering The Bell back in Scarborough on a regular basis as it was relatively close to our school & the nostalgia was eating us alive so we just had to go & she drove us to one of the nicest locations in Hamilton [again, 677 Upper James]. Food was warm, generous amount & varieties of salsa, vegetarian needs perfectly accommodated [she's veg, I'm flex], refillable fountain pop, incredibly friendly staff [I knew I was being annoying because I wanted everything & with veg substitutions]. Thank you for the unforgettable experience. Will probably be back with my man.“

“The crew that was on tonight’s extremely well organized. They work very well together. The food is fresh and clean. The speed and efficiency is like no other I’ve seen at a burrito boys,!!
Very very well done!
Thank you 😊“
