31 Best Mexican Restaurants in Anderson

“Great place for Mexican food and unmatched food quality and service there is nothing comparable to Casa Fuetas in upstate SC“

“Great food and friendly staff with attentive servers. I’ve had many of the menu items and have enjoyed all of them. My favorites include shrimp ceviche, nachos supreme, shrimp tacos, street tacos, salad ensalada picante, and fresh margaritas!!“

“The owners and servers are always friendly. The restaurant is always very clean and the food is excellent. We go multiple times per month and they do not disappoint! Large portions and always very tasty!“

“I have had over hundreds of Mexican restaurants in my lifetime. Traveled many places and tried them all. When I say this is the most authentic restaurant I have ate at, I mean it. The salsa is another level. I have never reviewed a place, but the owner deserves the recognition. A great guy!“

“Very good place and good people“

“Awesome food and service! I suggest the happy chicken!!“

“It was my first time trying this restaurant today and it was really good. My family of five less than $50. The food was really good hot and fresh homemade tortillas and the tacos are awesome!“

“This is the real deal in Mexican around here. It's in an old HoJo Resturant. so I'm not certain if that qualifies as high end Mexican, Classical Mexican, or Just Short of a Dive Mexican... but the place is clean and organized. Let's call it HoJo Mexican. We built a house just up the road. As we were building the place, we stopped by once or twice. Since then we have been numerous times and honestly each time the place has been better. Once during a fishing tournament they got absolutely slammed and had a tough time getting the food out, but they sprung for some free margaritas so all was forgiven. The folks who work here are seriously hard workers. The lady who owns it works harder than anyone I have ever seen in a Resturant. Their cooks are great. Everything is prepared after you order and it's done in a very reasonable amount of time (unless there is a major fishing tournament, LOL). The food is great. I've tried everything I can think of on the menu that I would remotely enjoy and it's all good. They can make anything you would like, and to be honest my wife and I often simply order a couple of soft tacos, chicken, with sliced avocados. The chips are some of th best I have had anywhere. Freshly cooked, thin, super crispy. Same for the salsa, excellent. They have regular and spicy. Neither is too hot for me. I like hot, but don't care for painfully hot. Oh don't forget that they have a full bar... They have Margaritas of all sorts... and then they have Texas Margaritas. As best as I can figure, that is equivalent to a "loaded" Margarita. They are good. The menu includes beer, tequilas, and whiskeys. I suspect that they can make whatever you want, but suffice it to say that if you are there for Mexican and want an appropriate drink... it's available.“

“Me and my brother stopped in and this tacos are amazing and there hot salsa is fire I recommended 10/10“

“Been eating here for ten years. The latest owners/chefs are top-notch. The food is always delicious. Everything is made with care and pride. I can't recomend highly enough. Sometimes you have to take a little extra time to get your order in if you do not know Spanish. It's worth it.“

“We ate here last night - the food was really good. We will definitely be back!“

“Some of the best service ever! Todos son muy amables y con buen corazón 😙💖“

“Besides the fact that this is my favorite Mexican restaurant, we recently used them for catering for a graduation party. Oh my! We had so many complaints on the food. We were so impressed! I can’t wait for the need for catering again!“

“This was our first time. Although it was the middle of the afternoon on a Sunday the place was very busy. Staff didn't always speak English but they quickly found someone who did. The food was excellent and we were well taken care of. Definitely worth going back. Surprised to learn they have been open almost 10 years but until they started to list on OpenTable we had no idea.“

“My husband and I ate here for the first time on Friday, October 10, 2025. The place was spotless, the waitress went above and beyond to serve us with 100% satisfaction, and our meals were very delicious to say the least. We were served salsa and chips while we waited on our entrees, and the portions were extra large for each meal selection. We had 1 beef burrito, 1 enchilada, 1 taco, and stuffed zucchini with grilled chicken, onions, bell peppers, and shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese. What I wasn't able to finished, my husband completed!! The Arnold Palmer was perfectly blended! When you dine out at a restaurant that is super clean, along with excellent service, that's a plus all-round for me. Lord willing, we will return soon, as well as recommend you to others.“

“Yall gotta check this place out!!! Amazing deals on authentic tacos!!! Do not sleep on this restaurant!!! Highly recommend the tacos!!!!!“

“We came to Anderson to watch our grandson play football, at Anderson University (which is only about a 20 minute drive) and had a wonderful relaxing time. The campground was very nice, quiet and clean. Cindy (I believe she was over. seeing the Campground while the owners were away) was awesome! She checked on us each day to see if we needed anything, gave us rides on the golf cart around the campground and even hung out and chatted around the fire a couple nights with us. As I said before it’s convenient located to AU, ClemsonUniversity and downtown Anderson. The restaurant on site was excellent unfortunately we didn’t have time to take advantage of the waterpark but it looked like so much fun. We will definitely be back.“

“EVERY time we go to eat here, the food is always delicious and served in a reasonable time. The waiters and waitresses are kind and courteous.“

“Ben was the first person we saw. He had a big smile and was ready to serve! He really made our experience amazing. The food was great too. Great job, Ben!“

“The food was amazing. Even though it was Cinco De Mayo and busy the service was great and the food came out in a good amount of time.“

“The atmosphere was excellent, the food was great and the portions were large. Prices were very reasonable. Unfortunately our young server was more interested in talking with her fellow servers near the bar than noticing our attempts to get her attention for things we needed. But she was nice when she showed up.“

“This is my go-to Mexican restaurant in town; their flavors and recipes are a welcome break from other restaurants in town. This visit I came with family and our food came quickly. Cooked very well and my daughter’s quesadilla was “good and cheesy,” just like she requested. Our server was great and very attentive, making sure we had refills and anything else we needed. A great visit.“

“Today my partner and I decided to stop in for a quick lunch treat before heading to Belk for a work shirt.
Wow.....pleasantly surprised!
The complimentary salsa verde(with salsa roja and queso!!! THREE SAUCES!)would be enough of a reason to go back.
I ordered lunch special #10(pollo fundido) and my parner ordered the beef Burrito lunch special + 2 cheese quesadilla. The portions were PERFECT for lunch. Sometimes it's just too much of the sides or double the pollo/size, it was just right. The rice was also very flavorful.....you can taste seasoning and it's fragrant at the table.
We also ordered a couple tecates and a small house margarita--honestly thought about getting a medium.....maybe another time lol the small was what is often a medium or large other places. The small house margarita was delicious. Tastes like the mix is made in house! Very fresh.
Also the music was so good and fun. Not sure if it was a dance or pop station, but we both found ourselves really enjoying the music!
We will be back again. And bury me in the salsa verde. 🙌🔥🙏“

“We got the fajita kit and LOVED IT! But I can't say enough great things about Alicia. She went above and beyond for me, even helping me out to my car because I use a walker and would have had trouble carrying my order to my car. So, just a shout out to you Alicia! Thank you so much!“

“Single-handedly the best food in this area! I have known the owner for 20 years and you will never need a nicer guy nor have better food! The menu is sprawling for a food truck and very authentic Mexicano cuisine, I highly recommend this as I stop here at least twice a week! There are specials and they will pretty much make you anything you want.“

“My word!!! What a deal!!! And delicious fresh food cooked from scratch!!! Lunch buffet is your best bet, don’t miss it.“

“I ordered a couple of dinners to go - it was really delicious. I had tacos and my friend had burritos. The sauce is really good - better than the average Mexican restaurant. We enjoyed the food - will will come back for sure! 👍“

“I have been in the restaurant business all my life. My family and I live close and were frequent diners at the blue Tolok for a while finally we gave up as it was inconsistent.
My son recently talked me into trying it again. The food was great and the portions were generous. What really made the experience outstanding was Charles. He was fun, great at upselling, and attentive. He is an asset to your team!“

“I come here often and they never miss. Food is always fast and made correctly. The drive thru always runs efficiently. Last but not least, the service is GREAT. I'm always greeted warmly and they are so kind. I don't even expect this level of service at a fast food place. Y'all are killing it. I'm honestly surprised at the other reviews... Must be some Karen's. Anyways, thank you guys so much!“

“The woman running the drive through this evening on New Year's Eve did and always does an outstanding job. She definitely needs a raise. As a Door Dasher, I was waiting on 3 orders and I was out of there within 20 minutes. That is literally unheard of anywhere else in this entire town. Furthermore, I came back for food later, and I was in and out within 15 minutes, while there was nearly 20 cars in line. For Gods sake, give her a raise.

With all that being said, the kitchen staff also did amazing! Without them keeping up, she would be struggling, and without her keeping up, they would be struggling. This entire establishment literally kept Anderson fed this evening.

Happy New year!!!“
