50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Salem

“Awesome food! My favorite truck in All of Salem! Tried many items from here and nothing had disappointed me!! 😋 🫶🏻“

“Really amazing tacos!! Fabulous tortillas handmade and we had three different tacos all delicious!! Eat here!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kike’s Taqueria absolutely crushed it!
I ordered the birria burrito and honestly… I’m still thinking about it. The tortilla was perfectly toasted, the meat was crazy tender, and every bite felt like a warm hug from someone who actually cares about you. And don’t even get me started on the hot sauce—spicy, delicious, and just dangerous enough to make you question your life choices in the BEST way.

The staff was super friendly too! They treated me like a regular even though it was my first time. You can really tell they love what they do.

Definitely recommending this place to all my friends and family. If you haven’t tried it yet, go. Run. Your taste buds will thank you. 🌯🔥“

“We tried the Fried Ice Cream for dessert. We're taking a many years long survey of who has the best. La Vida Catrina does, IMO. Former best, now second best, was in San Pedro, CA.“

“I love this place! Great food, prices, staff, and atmosphere. The food was delicious and customer service was great. It was my first time here a couple weeks ago. The staff helped recommend their favs which was outstanding. I couldn’t decide, so I had a few different dishes with my husband. Ice cream was perfect and they gave huge scoops. I couldn’t get enough of the salsa. I will be back and I appreciate you guys. Highly recommend.“

“Hands down the best Mexican restaurant for breakfast in Salem. Their breakfast burrito and chorizo plate are top tier. Their service, impeccable.

The best part - their red/habanero hot sauce. It’s spicy but I drown everything in it.“

“Muy Rica la comida 100% Recomendado“

“Absolutely delicious chicken flautas with salsa verde. Quesabirria tacos with consomme were perfect. Tamale was tender, not dry, and full of flavor. Prices are reasonable and hospitality was warm and friendly. Can't wait to go back again!“

“the chiles rellenos are perfect“

“Great authentic tacos and nachos. Lots of choices. Only problem is I can never make up my mind. Good staff.“

“Have driven by this establishment many times, finally stopped. What a gem! The place is unassuming but very clean. Came for breakfast, surprisingly large selection. We got breakfast burritos. Very affordable. They were huge, and excellent quality. Did I happen to say huge? Cheese, potatoes, eggs, your choice of breakfast meats and cooked to perfection. I added refried beans, crema, onions, cilantro and the salsa that came with chips...excellent! The waitstaff were friendly and helpful to non Latinos. Would I eat here again? Absolutely 💯!!! If you are looking for somewhere to eat, I highly recommend 👌“

“Solid 10 dollar value. Mexicano style add sour cream.

You know it was actually compelled to come back and update this review later. This place is consistently been really delicious food for many years and it still as good as ever.

I would even go so far as to say, it's probably one of my favorite burritos in Salem

Lately I've been stuck on the Diablo style Chicken burrito with pinto. Add pico de gallo“

“Best Mexican food in town great family ran business & great service“

“Food is amazing. The atmosphere is amazing. The owner and servers are super friendly. You come in and they greet you. The food is extremely tasty. The flavors all come together and melt in your mouth. The chef was extremely sweet to my daughter’s needs. She’s very peculiar about what she eats. The chef immediately took notice of this and adapted. He gave us a sandwich made just for her. I would definitely recommend this place.“

“Fantastic, deserves 5 stars! Best mole in Oregon 🤤“

“So l am from West Texas, which is where Mesquite Wood is indigenous. Never not once in all my time eating this particular dish have l ever come across one that took me back to a place that's very special in my heart. Especially the Mesquite sausage in your dish, reminding me of having cook offs in our town or parties in our front yard of our Ranch.

Thank you for the memories through the experience at your place. I hadn't been there for a long time and I can tell you you will see me again very soon. The service the flavors and your warm, friendly face seals the deal! Much love to you and thank you for the amazing mesquite dish it was truly a culinary experience in every bite!“

“This was the best menudo I've eaten. Ive eaten a lot all around Arizona. This menudo was loaded with meat was very tender. I had tacos and the meat was beef tongue. Very very delicious.
I needed this amazing meal. Thank you. Your a five star to me.“

“food was excellent service was too. I will definitely be going back :)“

“Thank you for the food and support!“

“I’m always a little worried about ordering enchiladas cause typically it’s just drenched in sauce but I ordered them from here and they were perfect! They fry the tortilla in the actual sauce just like my mom makes decided to go with a different meat option and chose cabeza (cow cheek) they were so good!“

“Excellent tasting food!! Excellency service, fast efficient and friendly!“

“I saw their FB post and it sounded interesting, so I Googled them to take a look at their whole menu. What caught my eye was the birria egg rolls, so I thought I’d give them a try, and boy am I glad I did. I opted for the avocado salsa and that made them even more yummy. Will have guacamole on hand next time because I think that would be amazing, will definitely be getting those again.“

“Las muchachas te ofrecen un buen servicio y son muy amables.“

“Definitely worth it! Delicious food! Looking forward to going back!“

“Ricky is awesome and makes delicious and authentic food! The meat has really good flavor, and the salsas were a highlight. Amazing value, the prices were definitely worth the portions and quality.“

“I'm disappointed in myself for waiting so long to try this place! The restaurant is very clean and well lit and the staff is super friendly. We tried the fish tacos, shrimp tacos and pork street tacos. All were exceptional! The salsa bar is amazing with tasty salsa, crisp pickled carrots and yummy grilled onions with whole jalepeno! And the best part... the price! It's hard to find any food places open past 9pm or affordable anymore, in Bend. I'm happy to say, " We've found our new spot!"“

“Love the customer service, really amazing people I always try to come twice a week for the amazing food 😁“

“Habanero never disappoints. The al pastor is always fresh, hot, and perfectly seasoned — tender with just the right kick. Burritos are packed, balanced, and actually stay hot all the way through (which matters). Ingredients taste fresh, portions are solid, and the consistency is on point. When you want reliable, flavorful Mexican food without the gamble, this is it. Five stars.“

“Love the street tacos! With carne sadat, but my friends love it with many other meat options that they offer. Delicious!

Parking: Everything was made with the freshest of ingredients. They didn't charge me extra for Pico. De gallo and lime on the side and so that was really nice of them. I really always appreciate that because it rarely happens. Usually you get way overcharged, when you ask for little extras like that, so“

“I’ve been able to find a decent Mexican restaurant in a very long time. So I took a chance on this place and I was not let down. Jerania at the West Salem location was amazing! Thank you for providing such great service as well as top notch food!“
