50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Germantown

“I mean, I have nothing to add to any of the other countless reviews, but I can say that I will dream about this place until next summer when we drive through town. We are from Texas, we are used to REALLY GOOD Mexican food all over the place and Las Tortugas was SO GOOD.“

“Great food and drinks. Highly recommended!“

“The food was great the presentation was great the service was pretty speedy it was fast. The atmosphere was really good it's family friendly and you can also go out with some friends for drinks and dinner/lunch as well it's versatile in that matter. The menus are very well put together and there are many options, the prices are good too“

“The food is always great here, no complaints with that. The lighting kind of bothered me however because it was way too bright in there. The ambience would be a little better if the lights were toned down a bit. But other than that I think it’s a great spot to grab a bite to eat with family and friends!“

“The family and I tried La Hacienda in Germantown tonight and it was delicious. We were seated very quickly, our waiter Jose quickly took our drink and appetizer orders. The restaurant is clean and well lit with a variety of tables and a top shelf liquor bar. The food came out very quickly and was enjoyed by the entire family. We WILL be back again, thank you again Jose'.“

“My friend and I had a wonderful lunch today. Our first visit, the shrimp and fish tacos were wonderful. We loved the fresh guac too! The restaurant is really beautiful. We can't wait to take more friends for dinner!“

“Awesome and convenient location. Their nachos or anything fried is a hit or miss. I dont know how often they change their grease traps or what not but you can tell it is not as often as they should be doing it. Please take care of that because other than that it’s pretty good. Staff is friendly but don’t do good on the orders. I’m a vegetarian and received a chicken wrap when I clearly asked for a bean version so when I took a bite there was chicken…was VERY disappointed by that. Double check your food before you leave or else you might be disappointed.“

“a minute ago New ♡Great food, great service and great atmosphere! ♡ We had a group of 12 for a birthday dinner. The staff was more than accommodating, they were down right awesome and made us feel special. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. We loved the salsa bar too! We will recommend to family and friends to eat here. 🔥We will definitely be eating here often!“

“Was greeted as soon as we walked in and the experience was fantastic all the way through. I had the birra burrito, my wife had the grilled chicken tacos, my kids had the cheese quesadillas. Don’t know how we haven’t found out about this place until now, but it was fantastic.“

“Great food and wonderful service! We enjoy being regulars here and like that we are known and welcomed as friends.“

“10/10 highly recommended ‼️‼️ JJ doesn’t disappoint me & my folks at all !!!!“

“Excellant. Had a catfish taco with slaw, wife had a beef taco with guacamole and a burger. Big burger brought half home, food is really good, atmosphere is nice. Nothing fancy just a decent pub with good food.“

“Ordered tacos de Cachete (beef cheek).... From a native Southern Californian - this hit the spot!
The asada steak was delicious too. Only complaint or request would be if they offered escabeche (pickled jalapeños and carrots).... This would take it over the edge. Definitely will return! Best taqueria in town so far!

Parking: Lunch truck/trailer.“

“We LOVE it! Food is great and staff is amazing.“

“Such fresh ingredients. The tortillas seem home made…maybe they are! Many sauce options. Something for all taste buds. My Baja shrimp tacos were fire. Light. Fresh and hit the spot. They have computer tellers but someone came and took our order. That was accommodating. We visit here whenever we are in the area!“

“Amazing service! I recommend you to come“

“We must have Los Pilares at least once a week. So good it's addicting. Take out or dine in food is great and service is good. Great place to take the family.“

“Absolutely 💯. Perfect! Great service. Great food. Those burritos are wild too.“

“Perfect portions, My sister and i had lunch on Friday and the food was excellent! Lunch fajitas & chicken soup 🤩“

“My husband & I stumbled upon Tekila on our Sunday evening drive. Tekila (Southaven) was so inviting. The atmosphere was so warm and comfortable. Our server Ricardo G was exceptional. Service was over and beyond. We ordered Bacon Chicken Tacos & Ave & Mar. the food was excellent.“

“Authentic Mexican food with real Mexican atmosphere“

“This place genuinely serves the best tacos and burritos I've ever had in my life. As someone who travels for works and has the singular pleasure of trying eateries from around the country, I have never and I mean ever come across a restaurant, mind you a food stand with Mexican food as genuine as this. If you've never been here or are traveling through, you have to try this place!!! The Asada tacos I got were LOADED and tasted amazing. Their Pastor burrito, no joke, brought a damn tear to my eye it was so good.

Bravo y'all, keep doing what you're doing!“

“I love going to get my food from there after finishing tattooing my clients because I always feel tired afterwards. The Lord and his husband always treat me with respect and friendship and it is not like eating. The food is delicious, the place is very clean and cool, the cakes are delicious and my husband likes it a lot too. Thank God for this restaurant!“

“Yall I’ve been ordering food from these people for three days straight on Uber eats😭😭 when I tell y’all you have to order don’t even think about it just do it! The Al Pastor, Carne Asada & Tripa tacos are 🔥🔥🔥!! Their salsas are also super delicious all 4!“

“To be honest, I lived in Texas for a few years and my hopes for Memphis Mexican restaurants were not high. However, I’m pregnant and I was craving authentic Mexican food really bad. I looked at photos of every Mexican restaurant in Memphis to try to find the one that looked like the most authentic atmosphere and I landed on El Mezcal. We showed up on Saturday night at 7pm and were seated immediately. The second we were seated, they already brought us chips and salsa and were asking for our drink orders. We unfortunately didn’t catch our server’s name, but it was her first day and she was absolutely on top of it. We ordered nachos with chicken, Burritos Azteca, and Fajitas. I don’t remember the type of fajitas, but it had chicken, shrimp, steak, and cactus on it. All the food was absolutely phenomenal, large portions, and by far worth the cost, which was only right under $60. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough, definitely the best experience I ever could have hoped for. Thank you!“

“Good Authentic Mexican Food 😍“

“Best burger in town!!! 🍔 🍔“

“Food and service are always excellent! We are so excited to be able to visit this restaurant several times a week as it is close to the house and they always know what we like and want to eat. The meal is always perfect and delivered the way we order... And we always ask them to hold this or add this LOL. We eat out pretty much every single day for lunch and this by far is the best service of all...“

“The food and atmosphere were exceptional. I can’t decide which was best. The food presentation and taste were amazing. Our server was phenomenal. I will definitely go back. Oh, and the drinks are on point too.“

“We went here for the first time last night and couldn't recommend it more. The food, the price, the atmosphere, the service all were amazing! We will definitely be back.“

“My goto place . Several times a week the people are friendly. And the food is excellent. Plus I love the cheesecake“

“great Birria Pizza! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The food is very good . They give you enough food that 2 people could eat off one order .The place very clean and the waitress are very friendly .“

“Kinda unbelievable - placed a to go order and they left the tortillas out of the order. Only discovered after driving 20 minutes home. Called and they are coming to deliver to them along with “something special “- he insisted. We complain about bad service so I wanted to compliment the good. I drive 20 minutes from my house passing by their other 2 closer locations when I want Mexican because I like their food the best. I am just kind floored.“

“Happy early Mother’s Day, mom! Verna Harris Y’all this is the best and most fresh brisket tacos, elote, brisket tortuga, fresh pressed mango juice, fresh pressed guava juice, fresh pressed pineapple juice EVER!!! And the hospitality is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! The kitchen staff is so cute- they put a smiley face on our quesadillas 😍!!! Visit any one of the two locations and you will not be disappointed!!! Poplar near International Paper + Germantown Pkway near Wolf River“

“Excelente cien por ciento recomendado El mercadito de Memphis“

“Best mexican restaurant in Memphis“

“This place was referred to me by one of my patients. I kept saying I can't find any decent tamales since I moved here two years ago. She was please tell me about this lovely little spot I absolutely love their tamale options and have gone back multiple times. My husband was surprisingly pleased with the rice and beans (he's not really a Mexican food fan). I would definitely highly recommend this place!“

“I highly recommend El Mezcal! I stopped in yesterday afternoon and was greeted by the friendliest staff and received the best tasting taco salad with very little wait time. Yum!“

“Went to dinner here with my mom and my daughter today. The chips, salsa, and queso alone made me want to leave a good review. The food was great, we had fast service, and our waiter was very nice and good at his job. All around great place to eat.“

“Great food I must say me and my friends have lunch dates all the the time at the Winchester location and the staff is kind and friendly food was delivered hot and fast..“

“I’ve always loved Los Comales! Their chips and salsa are my favorite—especially the green sauce, I don’t know what they put in it, but I’m in love. I usually get the shrimp quesadilla, burrito, or chimichanga, and it’s always really good. I recommend sticking with a classic Mexican plate. The atmosphere is nice, though I liked it even more before they renovated—it had that old-vintage view . The service is mostly sweet and kind, though sometimes hit or miss. Overall, I definitely recommend giving it a try!“
