50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Live Oak

“The food is amazingly delicious, very authentic. I am Mexican and have lived in many major cities (military) and am always looking for that close to home nostalgic Mexican taste. I have found it here , finally! The owners/ staff are so kind, friendly and attentive. Their salsas are very spicy in a good way . The tortillas are always fresh and perfectly cooked. It’s our new go to place on Saturdays. A hidden gem.“

“Hard to recommend, I'm only halfway through the menu! But all is great so far!“

“Generally, I rate this Taco Bell as 4 stars. However, my last visit was superb. I was greeted, given my drink cup right away, and my food was brought to me, rather than my name just being yelled out (it worse yet not even being told it's ready as happens at Taco Bell sometimes). The food was excellent-in fact my crunchy taco looked like the marketing photo, full and nicely presented. Good job!“

“David Elder @TexasEats is always correct in his recommendations!! I’m so glad my husband and I came here. The Food and the Aguas Frescas muy fabuloso!! You gotta give it a try!“

“Hell of a cheat day with the chicken fried steak breakfast and a cold Modelo!“

“Our parents celebrated 67 years of marriage today, we decided to do fajitas for our family gathering. Everything was delicious, and hot. We feed 10 adults, and 2 kiddos plus we had leftovers! Great job Los Arcos Team (on Bulverde rd). 😋🙏🏻“

“I'm not exaggerating when I say this is my favorite place to eat in San Antonio. Located near the airport in a tucked away location, RO-HO Pork & Bread is a hidden gem. This is comfort food at it's finest. Ro-Ho has many great things on the menu, but they are best known for their Torta Ahogada, and it's what I get almost every time. The torta is always hot, the carnitas cooked to perfection, and the tomato salsa is to die for. You can get the torta with straight carnitas or you can mix it up with carnitas, pork stomach and skin, which is what I usually get. The torta also comes with cabbage, onion, radish and lime. No matter how you order it, it's going to be great! The place is super cool, with Mexican artwork and music. There is inside seating and an outside covered patio as well. Everything you can get to drink from the cold case is always ice cold. And they serve one of my favorite Mexican beers, Victoria. Chef Rojo is often around and greets customers. The ladies that work the register and food line are so friendly, and will answer questions if it's your first time. The place fills up quickly at lunch, so keep that in mind. I drive clear across town for my Torta Ahogada fix, if that says anything! Check this place out!“

“Used them for a teacher luncheon and they delivered to our school. The elevator was broken and the two ladies carried trays and huge coolers up 2 high flights of stairs at least 7 times up and down. I get exhausted going up once. They had the most pleasant attitude.The food was delicious and the presentation of the trays and warmers was perfect! The next day they came out and picked everything up. Thank you Liz and ladies for your excellent food and service. Will definitely call you guys again!!! I'll make sure the elevator is working! 😉“

“I will be stopping here every day! The staff is so uplifting and friendly. The gentleman at the door (the face of the restaurant you see on the way in and the way out) is phenomenal! I literally leave in a better mood every morning. (even when I am already in a good mood!) The food is great the servers are great and the price is right. If you are one of the folks who had come here pre-covid and experienced the opposite, let me tell you, this is not the same place. This is worth the drive over even when I am not on my way to work!!“

“Great customer service and great tasting food.“

“Been going to the Anderson Lane location in North Central Austin every 2 weeks for many years (even before Covid). It always is good fuel and fits in my budget. Just now sitting down to do a review. Always good, always fresh. The staff and managers are always friendly and helpful and the place is always clean. Also I was telling the manager that I'm glad they now fresh squeeze lemons for real lemonade. We were talking abt clean ingredients and he told me they use rice bran oil to fry fish and avacado oil for their chips. Wow! Awesome! This is one of the few places I will get fried food around town bc other places use dangerous chemicals in their frying oils. Cabo Bobs, keep it up!“
