4 Best Mexican Restaurants near Blaine

“Craving something beyond the usual Southern comfort fare, I decided to venture out and try El Paisaje Mexican Grill—and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with vibrant decor and the comforting hum of conversation and clinking dishes.

I only wish I had caught the name of my server, because he truly went above and beyond. His attentiveness, friendly demeanor, and thoughtful suggestions made the dining experience feel personal and unrushed.

I ordered the carne asada with Spanish rice, along with a chilled glass of horchata. The carne asada was perfectly grilled—tender, juicy, and full of smoky flavor without being overly seasoned. The Spanish rice was fragrant and well-cooked, providing a great contrast to the richness of the steak. The guacamole was fresh and creamy, with just the right hint of lime and cilantro.

As a bonus, my server offered me a sample of the tamarind agua fresca, and it was good—tangy, slightly sweet, and incredibly refreshing. Horchata and sandía are still my favorite. If you’ve never had agua fresca before, think of it as Mexico’s answer to lemonade—light, fruit- or seed-based, and served cold. It's a great way to cool down and complement bold dishes.

To finish the meal, I ordered the flan, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Silky, rich, and creamy, with a golden caramel sauce that was smooth and perfectly balanced—not too sweet, not too bitter.

12/10—this place exceeded my expectations. Whether you're a fan of Mexican cuisine or just in the mood to try something different and delicious, El Paisaje Mexican Grill is absolutely worth a visit.“

“Now this is a nacho box!!!
I don't know how a $3 nacho became an $8 shredd chicken one, lol.
I will say it was well worth it!!
Honestly when my daughter came back with the food and I saw the lettuce and chips hanging out the side of the box I thought she was just whipping those turns in the car you know. Until I open the box I was in shock and my mouth started watering immediately!! It was much better than I anticipated, and plenty of napkins and my daughter said that they actually said hey you're going to need these! They were right! I really never ate at Taco Bell much until it's the only place I have around me but now after 38 years I am an official fan! Thank you Taco Bell!!!💖😁💖
I will add that when I got Taco Bell the other day I got one of the crunch tacos and it did look like the one in the review underneath mine. But I tried some again and they redeem themselves with me today!! Awesome food!“
