7 Best Mexican Restaurants in Ballinger

“The salad was fresh, tasty and authentic comfort-food.
The location is easy to find, (and has a Drive-thru) Not a fancy place, but the menus, tables and bathrooms are clean. And the AC welcoming on a hot day!
We were served by attentive waitress with smiling faces 🙂“

“I love to eat here when I'm in town! The owners and the staff are so personable. I love the cheese enchiladas. Quesadillas and salsa is good, too. Historical building.

Kid-friendliness: They are welcoming to children!“

“We had our first bad experience at Rangel’s today and, will not be back. It seems like the employees there are only after a paycheck and do not seem to care about the actual job they have. Our total bill for me and my 2 kids was $53 ($5 tip included). The food was nothing more than a frozen Banquet dinner it seemed like. My green enchiladas had a artificial looking green sauce on top and it was poured on top of enchiladas that had been frozen and not thawed all the way. My daughter’s chicken strips were not breaded fully and her French fries were over cooked. She couldn’t even eat the gravy. While the waitress was taking our order, she told us to wait in the process to run and deliver someone else’s meals to their table. We sat patiently and waited for her to come back and finish taking our order. There were only 3 other customers in the restaurant when we arrived. Every table was dirty. The one we finally found to sit at was so sticky that our napkins stuck to the table. I’m not sure who owns this restaurant but, they need to know how it is being operated.“

“First time to visit, food was amazing as well as the salsa! Will be a returning customer!“

“We have been eating here occasionally for the past 8 years. For our most recent visit we arrived at lunchtime on a Saturday and both our waitress and the cashier made this restaurant one we want to visit again. They were knowledgeable and nice. We tried the white sauce because one of our party has a tomato allergy. It was a sour cream based sauce and not spicy, that I thought it was priced appropriately. The salsa was not very spicy but went well with the warm chips. I recommend the jalapeno steak with its fresh cooked onions, tomatoes a s jalapenos. Our only issues were that the steak was over cooked and the fajita meat was cut with the grain which made it difficult to chew. The flavor in both was good. I hope the chef just had an off moment. The atmosphere here is welcoming and good for groups or families“

“Great place to eat good homemade food. Especially the homemade tortillas. Very hard nowadays to find any place that does their own homemade tortillas.“
