19 Best Mexican Restaurants in Columbia

“Had lunch with a few friends here today. Hands down the best Mexican food I’ve had in almost six years living in TN. Service was excellent. Such a great place. I’ll be back soon!“

“I tried Nuestra Casa out yesterday for the first time and they did not disappoint!! I got the Quesabirrias and they were amazing, full of flavor. That is one thing most I’ve found lack, but this was place didn’t! I also got a side of their rice and it was also great. Their green sauce is also fantastic with the right amount of spice. Try them out if you see them!! You won’t be disappointed 😊“

“Brainblast Trivia is great! Play Trivia on Tuesday at 7 pm at Don Pepes!“

“immaculate premises and delicious taste“

“I've been on the hunt for the best street tacos in town, and I think I've finally found them. This little taco stand is tucked away in a corner of the city, but it's definitely worth seeking out. The carne asada tacos are my absolute favorite. The meat is perfectly grilled and seasoned, and the tortillas are warm and soft. The birria tacos are also amazing. The meat is so tender and flavorful, and the broth is rich and delicious. But what really sets these tacos apart is the attention to detail. The tortillas are made fresh every day, and the meat is cooked to perfection. The toppings are also perfectly balanced, and the salsas are homemade and flavorful. If you're looking for the best street tacos in town, look no further. This little taco stand is sure to satisfy your cravings. I’ve been visiting here since it opened in Franklin and I am happy to see it expand!“

“Complimenting a restaurant is not a norm for me but oh my goodness was my lunch ever good. Beef Nachos - Everything was perfect. All Ingredients were fresh, a perfect combination of flavors, portion size was perfect. Thank you for such a good experience 😊“

“This place was great! I saw another review mentioning that they were from San Diego and approved of the food here so I had to try as a San Diego native myself (born and raised as well). And I agree with their review! This place has great Mexican food!

Now that two San Diego natives have said it’s good, YOU have to try it!“

“La Fuente is mine and my wife’s go-to Mexican restaurant here in Columbia. The service is wonderful, and the food is on point every single time. There’s an element of authenticity here with the decor, the music, the staff. The whole vibe is just a typical authentic Mexican restaurant. Not one bad thing I could say about it. They have indoor seating as well as a patio. They’re always busy but never too busy to be sat right away, at least as far as my experience goes.“

“Extremely pleased with the food tonight 6/1/26.

Maybe they saw the $10 off coupon from a past (like three times now) mistake at trotwood and hooked it up, or maybe, just maybe, they actually put out a decent product like it’s supposed to be.

Thank you bear creek night team!“
