50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Pasadena

“First time coming to Mariscos El General. Food was delicious, the black salsa was AMAZING. I ordered a cántarito and my boyfriend ordered a michelada they were so worth it. Our waiter Dylan took great care of us. Definitely will be coming back. We live in Katy and it was worth the drive. They also have live music and it was super enjoyable. Thank you Dylan and mariscos general.“

“Yenire y Janeth fueron muy amables y me atendieron de la mejor manera. 100% recomendado.“

“Wonderful staff and great food! The homemade cheesecakes are amazing!“

“Small place, huge flavor! The quesabirria tacos are the BEST in town — crispy, cheesy, and packed with tender birria. The staff is friendly and makes you feel like family. A must-try spot. Definitely worth it!“

“Best tacos and good customer service try out 10/10“

“BEST CHICHARRÓN IN PASADENA, ONE OF THE FEW PLACES WHERE TEHY ACTUALLY HAVE SPICY SALSA“

“The waiter Huber basically told us what not to order. NOTE When you come to this location bring your own silverware, we had to share a knife among 3 people. The enchiladas & steak, more like a slice of brisket drenched in a salty cheese sauce. Awful!! The beef enchilada, unflavored ground meat, again drenched in a red sauce WITH cheese. Cancun tilapia again with cheese and 8 tiny cocktail shrimp - no garlic sauce The plate was hot but not the food. At 8ish on a saturday night they only had 3 or 4 tables, no more than 12 people, including us 3 If they were starting to close for the day, they should've close the area they were cleaning. I don't appreciate smelling 'Fabuloso" while I'm eating with the mop bucket next to my table. Really your motto should be "Why are you still in business..." Marked as 1st and last on places not to visit. Overpriced for the food quality“

“This hidden gem in the heart of Pasadena has hands down some of the best Aguas frescos in the southeast side. They are so refreshing especially for these hot summer days. There's another place locally near a Walmart that I will not mention it's really over hyped to be honest, and they will also turn you away if you don't have cash.“

“Trompo tacos are sooooo good“

“Keep making food like my family got tonight and I guarantee you won't be in business for long. Beef tasted old like several days old..“

“Great food. Good price. Cool people. Simple“

“One of my favorite places to eat! The price is unbeatable. Their breakfast tacos are the best in the area, and the service is tasty and awesome. The place was packed to the teeth and we were done in 30 minutes. When i say we drying is fresh as d made from scratch, it is. The salsa ate amazing.“

“Awesome friendly smile. Quick service.“

“We visit this restaurant a lot even though is 35 miles from our house, food is delicious, pancakes, enchiladas, chile reyenos, chilaquiles, flower tortillas. I can go on on food is just amazing. Been going there for over 10 years one of our favorites for Mexican restaurants.“

“Exelente Calidad y servicio“

“Recently tried the fajita steak and trompo street tacos at Tacos de Mero Norte in Pasadena, TX – both were fantastic! Generous portions, and the inclusion of charro beans on the side was a nice touch. Don't miss out on their refreshing natural Jamaica water. A delightful experience overall!“

“11/05 23 me gusta la comida pero el servicio en la tarde pésimo,la cajera no tiene modales..“

“First time there and everything was delicious, but the best part of it all is the service. They really know how to make you feel welcome. I will definitely be coming back.“

“Ordered Uber Eats and was a little bit afraid of how the quality and taste would be. I was so impressed with the packaging and delicious taste of the food. Ordered the Mexican hamburger, which was so fresh and delicious. The fries were perfect too! I also wanted to try the menudo and wow was I surprised by the excellent taste. The corn tortillas are homemade which was the cherry on top for me. Please keep this quality of food because it was absolutely delicious. I tried everything so quick that I forgot to take a picture but if I want good tasting Mexican food I will order again.“

“Love everything about this place, location, food, drinks,, and friendly service, 🩷“

“This place is great if you like a lot of food inside your tortilla or torta; they have mastered it.
I have ordered tortas, chicken fajita tacos, and bacon & egg breakfast taco. I would order them again.

Parking: Parking needs road work so be careful if you're in a car“

“Tried the taco truck down the street from my usual eating out of this place and my god do I regret it, I've been coming to this place for well over a year or 2 and I have to say never again will I go anywhere else, this place is the best, best birria tacos, best quesadillas everything“
