13 Best Mexican Restaurants near Gaston

“We are here today for the first time. It was fantastic!!! The food was incredible tasting, when we were served - the food came out beautifully plated! Even the salsa and chips were great! House made salsa that can't be equaled! Definitely recommend eating here. Very friendly owners, servers, and lots of smiles!“

“Love love love! Great staff and always great food. We are regulars for sure!“

“My family and I visited this restaurant on our travels through the area, and we are so happy we did! The food was absolutely delicious!! We tried the chicken quesadilla, barbacoa torta, beef soup, and a variety of tacos. Everything was amazing. My son loved the soup so much that he drank every drop of the broth. Absolutely recommend this restaurant.“

“I’m just going to say it… Pedro’s Mexican Restaurant might actually be the best Mexican restaurant on planet earth. And yes, I will stand by that statement in public.

First of all, the speed. I swear the second you sit down, chips and salsa appear like they teleported. I’m convinced there’s a chip fairy hiding in the kitchen whose only job is to make sure your basket is never empty. I’ve barely had time to look at the menu before my drink, chips, salsa, and queso are already on the table.

Second, the portions. When my plate comes out it looks like they accidentally gave me food meant for a family of six. I always tell myself I’ll save some for later… and then somehow it’s gone. Every. Single. Time.

And don’t even get me started on the cheese dip. If loving that queso is wrong, I do not want to be right. I’m pretty sure 90% of my personality at this point is just recommending Pedro’s queso to people.

Honestly, if I ever move away, Pedro’s might be the thing I miss most. Not the weather. Not the scenery. The chips and queso.

10/10. No notes. If Pedro’s ever starts a loyalty program for people who eat queso like it’s a personality trait, please sign me up immediately. 🌮“

“There isn't enough stars on here too even rate this place. I give this Burrito Express a 50 STAR RATING!!!! I'm totally in love with their food. Its extremely hard to impress me with food and this spot truly over achieved my expectations. My top favorite place to eat from here on out. I'm most definitely telling everyone I can about this Burrito spot

I GIVE IT A 50 STAR RATING!!!“

“If you don't get the fries that are $14 you are losing. Food better than 99% of sit in Mexican places and it's in a gas station. Only rated service 3 stars because they missed my sandwich on the call in and had to wait for them to make it. It took half the time getting a burger at hardees in swansea so can't complain I changed to 5 stars after further contemplation. Place is always busy so figured we would try it tonight. We'll definitely be back for fries and a cubano. Wife had a steak and a shrimp street taco and said both were great but shrimp with guacamole and cilantro were the winner. A+ 5 🌟“

“San Jose in the Red Bank area is serving serious taco magic. The tripa tacos had that perfect textural contrast — crisp edges with a rich, tender center — layered on warm, fresh tortillas. Add the bright cilantro, sharp onion, squeeze of lime, and their salsa, and every bite was balanced, bold, and deeply satisfying.

The horchata was silky and refreshing with just the right sweetness, cutting through the richness of the tacos beautifully. Great service and a genuinely welcoming manager made the experience feel personal, not just transactional.

This is the kind of spot taco lovers search for. Authentic, flavorful, and unforgettable. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🌮🥤“

“It's a food "truck" but it's my favorite place to eat at work. Service can be very slow. Not cheap but a good value. I've been recommending it to several coworkers and associates in the area. There's a small covered area you can eat but I think it's best enjoyed back at my desk“

“Pretty much what you would expect from the menu with everything that I have had being very good. Service is good, beer is cold, and the staff friendly. We go here whenever we need our Mexican fix. Never been disappointed and will return again!“

“We have searched for an authentic Mexican restaurant for several years. Agave Azul does not disappoint. Excellent customer service and delicious food. We are now regular customers and my 8 year old says he wants to see his "family". Keep up amazing work y'all do for every customer. FIVE stars for sure!!! 🫶🏼“

“We were regular San Jose customers, and while they are good, they were closed. We decided to try Chapala's again. A couple years back, we had gone and weren't too pleased. We were very glad we gave them another chance. Not sure what has changed, but the food was outstanding! The most tender chicken in the entrees and the guac was extra good! We are now regular customers. So, if you haven't been in a while, do yourself a favor and revisit!!“
