50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Amarillo

“Taco Guapo is AMAZINGGGG! 🌮 1st of all, the employees and Owners are super nice and will cater to whatever you want and give great suggestions. Everytime I go, I leave happier than when I went. 2nd - the food is top tier. I would eat here over sit-down restaurants that are similar! 3rd - guess I'm known as the "quesadilla girl" now because we ask for them to make shrimp quesadillas, which is not on the menu. And let me tell you, they are OUT OF THIS WORLD, GREAT & DELICIOUS! The flavor plus the melted cheese on the outside is 🫶😘 GO support this local business ASAP! We love yall Taco Guapo 💚🤍❤️“

“Disappointed in my favorite go to place when I am in Amarillo I did the drive through for the first time. Called in the order. Not good. Threw my burrito away. Thought my fault for not just going in. Yesterday in Amarillo Got the edible salad Lettuce was not even chilled. It was room temp. Ruined the whole salad. Bought a large container of the spicy ranch and a big bad of chips. When I got home and sat down to enjoy the spicy ranch and chips the Spicy Ranch was like water! So disappointed, please don’t start going downhill. I love y’all’s food. Keep your quality. It’s definitely having a few issues“

“We are always quick to complain but neglect giving credit when it is due. We love the Plaza and food, but nobody is perfect. We had an out-of-town guest who'd never eaten at the Plaza, so of course with our rave reviews we had to get takeout. The person who took our order was obviously in a hurry but did correctly repeat our order. We picked it up and on arriving home our guest did not get what was ordered. Disappointedly I called and "Tony" answered the phone. The result being Tony gave us a credit for what we should of had on our next order. We used it promptly a night later and all went well and was delicious. We want to tip our hat to Tony for handling this situation so well and maintaining our business while gaining a new customer. The Plaza is fortunate to have such a fine and credible employee!!“

I chose Asada Tacos (they were incredible; salsa and rice were incredible as well!) and Bill chose Chicken Fried Steak and House Made potato’s with a salad (his chicken fried steak was perfect; the potatoes were dreamy, and the salad was way beyond what most restaurants serve as salad…I believe it actually had fresh spinach in it!) We met the new owner and had a great visit! We will definitely be back soon, and I hope it’s for breakfast because the offerings look and sound delicious!“

“We love this place! The burritos are amazing and remind us of the food we miss from many, many years serving stationed in CA. They have the best Mexican food and it was really difficult finding anything remotely relatable. Good Day Burritos has been a close match! You also won’t find a more friendlier place. The owner and his staff are truly the best!“

“This place is legit. A must stop for quality food. I've been wanting to try torta ahogada for years and this was masterfully prepared. Crispy pork drowned in a flavorful sauce with a nice Árbol sauce. I'm in love with this dish and they set the bar high. The Birria tacos were on point with excellent flavor.
Service was fantastic. This is a popular place that the locals go to and for good reason.“

“It was fantastic and friendly staff.“

“I was in town for training and had lunch here. Delicious!! I will return for next round of training. 😊“

“Today was a first. It’s an hour drive to Amarillo but we Dined in on some of the most BadA$$ Tacos and definitely will return ! Normally it’s a chain restaurant we go to when in town but I’ll be back and fill up on them tacos !!“

“Driving back home to Austin from being in Colorado for a week and we had a serious hankering for Tex Mex food. La Frontera did not disappoint. As an aficionado of carne guisada, I had to try theirs. It was spot on and worth going full gordito! I'm definitely going back.“

“The food was delicious as usual, that’s a given. It’s the customer service that makes this place amazing. The manager has one thing on his mind and it’s “how can I make their meal better.” I highly recommend to anyone passing through.“

“🌮 Ethan Boren, Braelei Richburg & I would like to thank Tacos Guadalajara for their fabulous catering service for Braelei's Graduation dinner. The food, preparations and pricing were perfect for such a large gathering. The tacos, rice, charro beans, salsa everything was a HUGE hit by all who attended lastnights celebration. A great family operated business with professional friendly service! Everyone needs to give them a try! Located at 818 Martin Rd in Amarillo! Just look for the big Tacos Guadalajara food truck 🛻“

“Excellent ! A hidden gem. Try the Birria tacos they are so good. Salsa is spicy but great flavor.“

“I went at lunch and it was NOT busy at all. The waitress was very nice and helpful. The food was great. The venue is not as big as some of the other Braceros restaurants in town but still very good. I loved all the decorations in the restaurant!“

“Love the food, but they could work on customer service. I would have tipped but I couldn’t even say my order without being interrupted 5 times.“

“Los mejores tacos de Amarillo sin duda y el flaco con el mejor servicio siempre al 100 se puso wuapo con un consome gratis mientras esperaba mis tacos“

“I've been a Qdoba superfan for years. When I moved here in 2022, I kept the app on my phone, just incase we ever got one. This location has still exceeded my expectations, in every way. Better price, better food, better atmosphere, and better service than the competitor. If you are reading this, to figure out if you should try it, do yourself a favor and head there immediately.“

“Muy buen servicio. La comida estaba deliciosa. Muy deliciosos los mojitos. Iris nos trato muy bien ❤️“

“Great dinner with my hubby, excellent service, Lori was right on everything and Martha part of the family owned business sat and visited with us during a very busy time! They care about the food taste and dining experience.“

“My parents came here for years and I never did before until last year and I've been going since every week on a Monday morning at 6 a m. My favorite dish is the chicken red sauce enchiladas.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs to deal with.“

“I missed my home in Los Angeles and all the delicious food! This place takes me back!! The pollo asado is lit!! The carne asada is delish and the flautas are sooo yummy! I’m addicted to their frijoles de olla! They’re like my abuela’s. The rice is also tasty and moist. Love the fresh salsa and toppings bar!! The only reason I don’t go more often is due to inflation. But I’m a patron for life!!!“

“Their motto is Comida 100% Mexicana and it does live up to their claim. I got the chilaquiles in red sauce with a bistec and scrambled eggs. The portions were ample enough for two. The star of the platter was the bistec. Normally these flattened pieces are nothing to write home about but this was tasty, just enough marbling, and cooked well. Solid authentic breakfast.“

“Friendly staff and great authentic Mexican food.. cozy atmosphere where you can go and just enjoy some great food.“

“best ceviche in amarillo by far“

“Ask for Mary! Great server and fantastic food. We will definitely be back!“

“Everytime the food is bomb and fresh keeps us coming back for more 😋😋“

“Tengo 12 años viviendo aquí en amarillo y hacen los mejores montados que eh probado aquí. Muy buen servicio y muy deliciosa la comida. 100% recomendado 🔥“

“I just drove 14 hours straight from Kentucky to Texas.

All I could think about for the last 14 hours was the buttery, savory, light, fluffy tortillas gently hugging the lightly fried chile relleno with the creamy melted cheese inside the chile...

My first stop in Amarillo was Grandma's as I sat patiently in the parking lot waiting for Grandma's to open at 7am.

To my surprise, they opened the doors early at 6:57am and I was greeted with the smell of freshly made salsa, tortilla chips, tortillas, and breakfast foods. The cherry on top, ice cold Mexican Coca-Cola made with real sugar and not the cheap inferior corn sryup Coca-Cola.

I told the staff the tale of my 14 hour journey and quest for the best chile relleno burrito in the Texas Panhandle as I am describing above.

I may have moved away from Texas, but Grandma's Burrito's will always be the number one burrito joint in my heart and always be my number one stop when I travel back to my roots here in Tejas.“

“Was just passing through on our way back to Colorado and stopped because of reviews. By the traffic, this place is a local favorite.

Very, very good. Everything from the chips and salsas, guacamole, barbacoa and carne asada burritos, and the horchata was delicious. Was disappointed in ourselves for not getting another burrito to share.“

“I went in here the other day for their breakfast burritos and I was pleasantly surprised! I hadn’t ever eaten here so I was trying a new place! Their restaurant was clean, with several ppl eating at their tables. The people behind the counter were busy, but very welcoming and friendly! I ordered my stuff and it was prepared very fast, as I thought I’d have to wait bit? The employees were very friendly and helped me with my order.. The breakfast burritos were amazing! Big portions and so flavorful! I had carne asada and my friend had chicken verde, and they were amazing! I will most def be going back!“
