27 Best Mexican Restaurants near Lakesite

“We own a business in Soddy Daisy, where Delia's is located, and this is THE BEST in Chattanooga and all its surrounding areas! We eat here weekly AND it's locally and family owned!“

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

“Nachos El Meson, my favorite. The owners are so nice! Love it here.“

“This place is a hidden gem. My whole family went for the first time and we can’t wait to go back. Everything was amazing. It’s clean and the people who work here are just great people. You’ll be so glad you went.“

“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.“

“Highly recommend this place! Definitely ask for Leah she was the best server I’ve had in a while.“

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

“Atmosphere, music, food, service, etc… this restaurant is one of the best in Chattanooga. You walk in here and immediately feel welcome. The food is delicious, the service is attentive, and the atmosphere is good vibes. You can't ask for anything more from a restaurant.“

“had the Carne Asada taco with limes and green sauce. Out of this world. Cooked to order. Could eat my weight in them.“

“The quesabirrias: crispy, cheese-packed tortillas slow-cooked beef birria, with a side of consommé that deserves its own award. Each bite is a glorious mess of melty cheese and bold spice, and yes, you will end up dipping everything on your plate into that broth. The beans were not the usual mashed pintos. They had a bold flavor that made us bag some extra up to go! Also, their chips and salsa are to die for. The staff is friendly, the portions are generous. 5/5 stars – Already planning my next trip back.“

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

“Reasonably priced good food, nicely presented in generous servings. Very clean and with a friendly staff. be prepared to bring home enough for tomorrow's lunch.“

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

“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!“

“Best taco truck East of Texas.“

“Muy buena comida mexicana😋“

“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.“

“It is awesome the employees are awesome“

“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“

“Hands down our favorite Mexican restaurant in Chattanooga. Never disappoints! Can’t go wrong with the enchiladas verdes. Ask for Carlos and order a fiestarona with a large cheese dip.“

“Prices are very decent for the serving and the service is quick and on point. In and out in just minutes. I'll be back for sure.“

“Real Mexican food! We went to the Latin Festival today at Miller Park and tried their elote in a cup and the mangonada, wow all the flavors were absolutely amazing and delicious! Can’t wait to go to the restaurant and try more things! 10/10“

“We went for work birthday lunch. The food was fresh and delicious. The service was outstanding. The staff really impressed us all. We will be back!“

“Food is great but ordering through Door Dash was HORRIBLE!!!!! ordered 2 sets of 3 tacos each and they sent 2 tacos total. Mistakes happen and I get that. But when you try to call the restaurant, the phone does not work and says the mailbox is full. THATS RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!! Answer your dang phone if you’re going to be in business to help your customers!!!!!

UPDATE - after another 20 minutes of calling it finally rang and someone answered. They were slammed and I guess their phone system is bad. The staff was very apologetic and I went and picked up the rest of the food. It was ready when I got there and I really appreciate them making it right.“

“Love this place! By far my fav - they see me probably 3-4 times a week“

“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“
