10 Best Mexican Restaurants in Hixson

“Use this good truck to feed roofing crew. Really good food and can serve 50 plus guys fast“

“Oh. My. Goodness. I have had several favorite Mexican restaurants in the Chattanooga area, from La Bamba to El Fogon...but there's very little chance that any place would displace my newest and "bestest" favorite, Spanglish (previously Las Morelianas). I went there yesterday with three friends, we all had completely different dishes, and we were all 100% completely satisfied. Although the tastes of each dish (we all had a bite of each other's) were all perfectly appreciated by all, the big kicker for me was that the manager came around, after my other three friends had been served their entrees, and explained that he was sorry that mine was delayed, but that it had come out of the kitchen on time, but he was not pleased with the way it looked, so he sent it back and had it remade. THAT is customer service, and THAT is what makes a restaurant a cut above the rest. I am sorry that I can't remember our lovely waitress's name, but her attention to our need (including refilling our drinks before we even asked) was top notch. I can't say enough good things about this place; everything was not only a cut above the rest, it was all simply perfection, and all four of us agreed on that. Eat Here! You won't ever regret it.“

“this place is wonderful! all of the tacos we tried were delicious. the service is amazing. I highly recommend!“

“Everything about this Place is Special. They make you feel like Family. We give them 10 out of 10.“

“They have the game on, decent Mexican food for Tennessee, heated bathrooms, so nice.“

“I never write reviews, but I am so enamored by El Jinete that I’m making an exception! I highly recommend this restaurant, which is in the old O’Charley’s on Hixson Pike. I might not call it authentic Mexican food, per se, but the quality is amazing! Their health department cleanliness scores were 100, the AC was rocking, and the staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. I am a margarita snob, and theirs are very good. My husband is a tough audience, but he was happy with the fajitas. My kids (being kids) were thrilled with the queso. I’m also a tortilla chip snob, and theirs are very good. Personally, I’m in LOVE with the Hawaiian burrito (again, not fully authentic, but that’s what I like about it: a good mix of traditional and new takes on old favorites). They are not stingy with the meat (steak, chicken, and shrimp), and the shrimp isn’t the gross kind with the veins still included. The presentation is also lovely — I wish I could include a picture with this review, but it is clear they take great pride in their establishment, their food, and taking care of their guests. My family has been twice now, so I feel I can confidently say our experiences were not just a fluke and this is a consistently solid addition to the Chattanooga restaurant scape. Again, highly recommend!“

“After seeing huge burritos, I ordered a chimichanga (thinking it’d also be big)… when it was brought out I had to question if I accidentally ordered a “mini chimi”—nope. Although small, it *was* tasty and I enjoyed my meal.

We asked for the “hot” salsa and chose the red one (green was also an option). It was better than the one they normally bring to the table, but it was $2 added to the bill for that small bowl.

Everything was good, though.“

“I come here at least 5 times a week. The staff here is always so kind and gentle. This place provides way better service than chic fila or any other restaurant in the area for that matter. You need to come eat here. These dosbros down the street is disgusting in comparison“

“The ladies in the evening shift along with Cameron are very welcoming with service and made sure I had everything I needed, the last couple of visits. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! :) - The employees truly care about the reviews and service each customer receives. Thanks“

“Honestly, this is one of the better Chiplotles by far. Compare this to the ones in Florida is night and day. They usually have fresher food, making tortilla chips in both morning and afternoon shifts, so you don't get super stale chips by 2pm. They're always in stock of items, never had to complain to them.
If there was one thing they could improve on, it's general cleanliness. The line is sometimes a mess, and the drink station can look pretty bad at times. I even had to bring back one of their deep 1/3 pans that had caked in sofritas once (why was it there in the first place?).
If you need to go to a Chipotle, go to this one.“
