48 Best Mexican Restaurants near Brooks

“If more than 5 stars was possible I would do that. That's the best taco I've ever had. Fresh and delicious and served with a smile. I almost didn't stop because it's hard to tell they are open, but look for the smoke by the bbqs. I'm beyond words! Delicious!“

“This is my favorite Mexican food here by far. Tastes like my home in California. Burritos are huge and delicious. I’m a big burrito fan and these are the best I’ve had in Salem hands down. You can taste the quality! Tacos, quesabirria, even basic rice and beans are great. The guac has a kick to it too which I really like. And their horchata is so yummy!They’re always friendly when we go in.Im happy they’re here and I’m looking forward to trying more of their menu :)“

“Ordered from here for the first time today and was extremely pleased with the service and the food. The staff was so friendly and the food was absolutely delicious! Can't wait to stop back in for dine-in soon!Dietary restrictions: Added specific dietary requests to my order and they made sure to accommodate for them (which seems to be rare these days with online orders). Fantastic service!“

“Oh my...YUM! Homemade and fresh tortillas. Homemade salsas and wonderfully marinated meats and authentic rice and bean! This is what REAL Mexican food is supposed to taste like. If you don't like this place, then go back to Chipotle where you belong....hehehe thank you, Santana. Maybe add a little salt to the tortillas, but everything was awesome.“

“Damn good food. I tour all the small Mexican joints and this one is fantastic. Great food and great sauces! They've got a drive-thru, as well. I dined in, but it's something available, if you don't want to. Super clean inside and very fresh. You won't be disappointed!“

“Best tacos I have had in Oregon. El pastor, asada, birria were all fantastic. We ate in the restaurant and the tortillas were nice and firm with a little crisp. Not soggy at all. The meat all had a nice crisp as well. The hot sauce was great as well having several options with different heat levels. 10 out of 10 will eat here anytime I pass through.“

“Omg this is the cutest most unique food truck I’ve been to!!! Super delicious most important, the menu is hilarious to read, and the staff is so friendly! I had the vampire repellent which had PASTA in the quesadilla!!! I’d give 10 stars if I could!!!“

“This place is the best taco truck in Salem!!They are so nice and friendly. Always making sure we get everything we need for our food. I go there like three times a week for their tacos. The carne asada literally melts in your mouth. Their pickled carrots are amazing!!! They give us so much of them, which I appreciate because I eat them all. Spicy but not over powering!! I definitely recommend them to everyone I know!“

“I was looking for a Mexican market to get my fix of pan dulce, and found that Plaza Morelia provides incredible pan dulce and so much more. From in house crafted Pico de Gallo to their spicy chorizo, they have all the best flavors. Their service is always friendly, welcoming, warm, and helpful. I'll continue to get my pan dulce from Plaza Morelia, as long as they keep serving it.“

“Food was top notch! So delicious! Great atmosphere. It's normally VERY busy, but at 8:30 on a Friday night, it was pretty mild. Definitely recommending, and we'll be back again!Kid-friendliness: Brought my 8 year old to dinner. They provided a crossword puzzle with a picture to color and some crayons. It immediately got him busy as he waited for his kids meal. I was impressed with the selection for kids. It was a good size portion for under $10, too. He loved it!“

“I have driven by this restaurant so many times and never stopped in because honestly I thought it was a tattoo shop. It was some of the most elevated and wonderful Mexican food I have ever had. The chips and salsa were good, the salsa was fresh and full of tomatoes, and the beans, were thick and black, and tasted like pork. The short rib enchilada is on the spicy side and absolutely fantastic. They are covered in some kind of super spicy, but sweet sauce. I had never tasted anything like it before. The chicken flautas were also delicious and beautiful to look at. They take a lot of pride in presenting their food, and it shows… even the plates were lovely. Everything was fresh. The price point was spot on for what you get. The watermelon margarita was possibly the best margarita I’ve ever had in my life, I would definitely recommend this place and plan to bring friends and family here.“

“I am a vegetarian so please keep that in mind.I think this is the best tasting food I have found to date in the state or Oregon. I am originally from California, which has amazing restaurants of all types of cuisine’s. So moving to Oregon in 2019 I have been searching for a Mexican restaurant that compares to restaurants in California and I have just found it.The only complaint was from my friend who was with me who said the chicken was a little dry. But all the rest of the food we had was absolutely amazing. It’s a small restaurant that only has around 10 tables. The prices are very reasonable. They hand all the food here as far as I could tell and the pupusas’s here are the best I have ever had. Rice and beans are on point and not too salty. I will be returning here and my waistline will not be thanking me for it.FYI it is not letting me post any pics for this review. I will try to add some again soonVegetarian options: Veggie burrito is really good“

“The bar next door was closed the day my coworkers and I went, and Galbi the server said she can make drinks for us which was AWESOME!! The food was good, we were loud but the server still came by and asked if we needed anything...we ended up buying pies and chili oil from there at the end...totally would go “

“The food was good, but the menu is confusing. And if it is your first time eating here, finding the menu is confusing. This is probably a great place if you're stopping to pick up cheese or getting a scoop of ice cream, but if you plan on eating here you have to go past all that and the place where people are placing orders, there is a counter with salsa and water that has signs to "start there", but you can't even see the signs till you're right next to them. Then, you circle the items you want and turn it in. My bf and I got a nachos to share. It was plenty for both of us. The chicken on the nachos was very good. I liked the food but I don't know if my bf will be willing to go back there.“

“After reading these reviews, I had to see what the buzz was about. Loved the steak street tacos and the beef burrito was huge. All was very delicious, fresh and homemade beans. Very generous with green verde sauce. You get bang for your buck here! I wish they were closer to my side of town. Very craveable!“

“I humbly admit I am an amateur to authentic Mexican cuisine, but these tacos were some of the best I’ve had. I got the carne asada tacos, the tortilla was so soft and the asada well seasoned and juicy.The chips and salsa were great; salty and chunky salsa. Highly recommend!“

“We like to sit In a quiet area...thank u Soo very much...my fam been coming here for years....again thank u....Vegetarian options: Soo savory and super delicious..Parking: Close to the doors...so u don't have to walk very far if ur full hahaa lov u guys thank u?????????“

“My friend suggested we eat here. Extremely modest place that you might easily pass on, but very pleasantly surprised. I ordered the the carne asada tacos and my friend ordered the quesobirria. Now, if you haven't had a quesobirria... let me tell you about it. It's cooked beef folded into a tortilla with melted cheese and served with a side of au jus for dipping. It's like a braised beef taco married a quesadilla. Absolutely delicious! Don't let the exterior of the restaurant fool you. There's some seriously good food going on here. Provecho!“

“(Translated by Google) We were looking for a place to have dinner tonight before going back to Washington and found a small place on the way but with a lot of flavor! The super delicious handmade tortillas, we recommend it!(Original)Buscábamos un lugar para cenar esta noche antes de volver a Washington y encontramos en el camino un lugar pequeño pero con mucho mucho sazón! Las tortillas hechas a mano súper ricas, Lo recomendamos!“

“Jesus and Carmen are amazingly friendly and hospitable. This was my 1st time eating here and I ordered a veggie burrito best burrito I've ever had and I've ate many of them . They are located at the fork forty you have to check it “

“Staff is ALWAYS friendly and amazing, never had a bad customer experience. The food is fresh and made with love, I've been attempting to eat my way through the menu and have yet to find anything that was delicious. Establishment is small and cozy but clean and very welcoming.“

“I lived in T.J. for four years. So I know good Mexican food. Oh yeah, I lived in San Diego CA, approximately 40+years. I have only had the tortas from this truck. But so far this is the best Mexican food I've had since moving here in 2020. ??“

“If you are looking for some great Mexican food I highly recommend this taco truck. It is hidden pretty well but once you find it I'm sure you will keep going back. This is a regular for myself and my husband now, we go pretty much every weekend. I recommend the Verdes Enchiladas con pollo plato (green enchiladas with chicken plate), I can't seem to get enough lol, I also recommend the chiles rellenos. Both of us said this was the best Mexican food truck we have been to yet in Oregon and trust me we go to a lot. Enjoy, provecho!“

“The food here is incredible!! The nachos are insane!! The drinks are delicious! They’ve got lottery machines for the gamblers in your group too. Marcie is so friendly and welcoming. I do wish they had better seating downstairs, we’ve only ever been in for lunch and it’s not super comfortable unless you’re sitting at the bar with the big comfy stools, but it’s a must try.“

“These tamales were delicious! They’re well priced, very fresh, flavorful, and well portion. I just wish they had a little more meat inside of them. I like that their menu is limited; green sauce/red sauce, chicken/pork, regular/spicy, banana leaf/corn leaf. It made ordering very easy.“

“Dinner started with house made taco chips and a yummy salsa. Hubby couldn’t make up his mind so he had the combination plate and I chose the street tacos. Delicious! Lots of food! Dinner came with sauces, sour cream and guacamole. We went based on reviews and weren’t disappointed. Wish there was one of these in our home town!“

“We had not been here for a while and decided to stop in. The food was absolutely fantastic. Authentic, fresh, and delicious, served with generous portions. We had the chile relleno and the taquitos. The service was prompt, attentive and very friendly. We look forward to coming back more often.“

“soooo good! i live nearby and finally came in to try it and i'm so glad i did. they give you such a big portion for the price and everything is freshly made. my mom said it reminds her of her hometown in méxico will definitely come again!“

“We discovered this gem awhile back, and we have been every week since (sometimes twice). These are not your average tacos. The owner is right there taking our order, and making us feel at home. This place will have you telling your friends and google.“

“Highly recommend this place for your taco and burrito craving! Delicious food and staff and owner are very friendly. Most places you don't want to go in when it's close to closing, but that welcomed and even encouraged us to order some food. Thank you, Tyler and Avery!“

“This place is exactly what you actually want, guy inside was awesome. They were working in the back when we got there, everything was fresh. Food was good, let my daughters pick our pan dolces. Champurrado was bomb. Great find, worth the drive“

“The BEST homemade tasting Mexican food in Salem. I grew up eating my mom’s (and abuelita’s) authentic homemade Mexican food and Junior’s Taqueria is the closest thing to what I grew up on. Their burritos are so perfect. Everyone who works there is so nice & friendly too. I also wanted to add that I’m vegan and my husband & daughter are vegetarian and Juniors Taqueria has vegan/vegetarian options. They don’t use lard and they let us put together orders that aren’t on their posted menu and are happy to do it for us.“

“Their service is good, their food is outstanding.Fresh tortillas--made right there, fresh chips, salsa and beans are put on the table when you are seated. Their platters are wonderful--my wife and I have tried two so far--we split them because there is so much food.The last platter we had was called the hacienda and it had trout and shrimp as well as steak and carnitas. It was amazing.Thank you La Hacienda Real!“

“Great tasting homemade Mexican food. Literally “grandma” herself in the kitchen cooking, most likely her very own family recipes. Delicious flavor across the board. Everything is fresh and gourmet with generous portions. You can taste the love this kind-hearted woman puts into the food. She is always smiling, and so friendly. I always stop for a burrito when I get the chance. The Birria (shredded beef) I’d say is her top-notch specialty; highly recommend it.Parking: Truck Drivers, park at the Pilot and walk over to get some great food.“

“THE MENUDO WAS SUPER DELICIOUS WITH SOME GREAT AND DELICIOUS HAND MADE TORTILLAS! MY HUSBAND ALSO LOVED THE GOLDEN TRIPA TAQUITOS AND I GOT CARNITAS TACOS TOO. THE TACOS WERE FULL OF A LOT OF MEAT SUPER TASTY ?? it was really hard for me to find a good Menudo for a long time from Portland to Salem and I finally found a spot where it's clean smells good and tastes absolutely delicious! If you love MENUDO YOU WILL LOVE IT. IT COMES WITH HANDMADE TORTILLAS AND THE TACOS HAVE TONS OF MEAT IN THEM SUPER DELICIOUS ?⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Had a burrito with beef. Was good. They always have good food and they do a good job at it. If you go later sometimes they're mopping the floor and the smell of cleaning is in the air. Not my favorite maybe they could curtail that till after they close. But take out is always an option.“

“The asada pizza is incredible. Never had anything like it before, especially not a bean sauce. Everything about it was delicious. I hope they never change the recipe because it is such a perfect balance of sauce, toppings, crust, and heat. The chipotle ranch sauce and chili oil were so good, too.We had the pizza delivered and enjoyed it with a bottle of gamay noir. Might have to try some of their other pizzas eventually, but the asada pizza will probably be our go-to for a very long time.“

“One of the first taco joints we found on arrival in Salem. We used the drive-through on a Sunday morning and had Chorizo breakfast burritos, and bean and cheese burritos. The drive through line is oddly placed to allow for cars to enter the parking lot. So, don't block the driveway after you place the order, just be patient and let cars get in to park. The food had great taste, the price was reasonable but much more expensive than if in Texas. The beans are tasty and cooked to perfection. The service was quick, staff were friendly. The verde sauce is the best, so ask for more! We did not eat inside so cannot attest to ambiance. Overall a good pick for tasty tacos in the PNW.“

“If you like Mexican food, you absolutely need to try this little hole in the wall. Google instructions direct you to a business across the street. It was not easy to fin it. They are next to a wedding store and under some gargantuan pine trees. Main draw back: no toilet, only a porta-potty under the pine trees.“

“Good menu selection, some unique items compared to other places, like the chicken mole. Flavor and tenderness of meat's were very good. Ambiance is nice, fun music playing, nice cozy decor, modern and clean inside, friendly service. They have tacos that you can dip, but only on Fridays. Would come back again.“

“Great food, great prices, friendly service, informal atmosphere. Seemed like authentic Mexican food, not tex Mex or fusion.Kid-friendliness: Doesn't seem to cater to kids specifically, but the informal atmosphere was perfect for kids that like to talk or fidget, and there were lots of kid-friendly food options.Wheelchair accessibility: One story, easily wheel chair accessible.“

“Their tacos are so good I dream of having them. Looks like I need to visit Oregon again because these are the best tacos in the state, maybe even better than any place in California and that's saying something. STRONGLY SUGGEST taking your friends, family, work colleagues, anyone you know here because if you don't you're missing out!“

“I wish we lived closer to this location!!!! Most all Baja experiences are very good-but this one was absolutely exceptional. The owner was helpful, kind, and attentive. He was sooo diligent in helping me get something gluten free for my celiac son. Stopped in with my whole family; we all had delicious meals and were thoroughly impressed!“

“I can honestly say I'm such a picky eater, but ever since i had her carne asada burrito, Ill never go anywhere where else expecting her flavors, This place is definetly worth the wait.Absolutely Love this place, la guerrita and her son are always so helpful and sweet.“

“After living in Mexico for 7 years the bar for authentic food was pretty high. Chula Vista is true Mexican food and the best we've had in the US. Unfortunately we are only passing through Salem otherwise we would be regulars. The margarita was awesome also! Tortillas and salsa is made here and the food is fresh.“

“After driving around looking for a place to get some food we ran into this Small place, nothing fancy but delicious flavors and authentic Mexican food and freshly made corn tortillas! We got huevos rancheros and steak, shrimp tostadas and aguas freskas, horchata and Jamaica, yum!! ??Great service, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be coming back and if you haven’t tried it you should!“
