37 Best Mexican Restaurants near Salado

“Great stop on the way to Austin.“

“Great burritos definitely the best you will find in Salado. I always get the steak burrito with everything and it’s always plenty of food for me. I get the spicy salsa and it’s the best salsa you will ever have super spicy and if you have a weak stomach like me it will run through you but 100 percent worth it.“

“Haven’t tried the food yet, but I just had the strawberry mango lemonade & no exaggeration it was the best lemonade I’ve had in my entire life, I was upset it was gone. Next time I come back I will try the food!“

“My husband and I went to lunch and our food was wonderful !! Tacos were the perfect crunch !!! Loved them and I will be back . Thank you“

“I live just 5 minutes away and can literally smell El Patrón Taco Truck from my house — and let me tell you, it smells just as amazing as it tastes! I first came across a Facebook post from a news reporter talking about this truck, and I knew I had to try it. And wow… Y’ALL, don’t walk — RUN to this truck! 🚶‍♀️💨🌮 The QuesaBirria tacos are LIFE. Hands down the BEST I have EVER had. 🔥🤤 On top of the incredible food, the service was just as amazing! Everyone was so kind and appreciative, and you can truly taste the love the cook puts into every bite. ❤️ If you haven’t tried them yet, do yourself a favor and go. I PROMISE you won’t regret it! ⸻ BELTON LOCATION!“

“great food. you must try their birria pizza!“

“first time ever going this place is awesome“

“awesome place, a true hidden gem! great staff and delicious food.“

“Best tacos we’ve between Austin and Dallas! Not to mention the best value⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Tried for the first time and loved it! Got 4 burritos with chips and salsa as well. The burritos were delicious and HUGE! A little pricey but they're not stingy with the ingredients so worth it. We all got very full and enjoyed it!
Tortillas tasted homemade, which is a huge plus for us, really everything did. Staff was very sweet and friendly.
Only minor complaints and reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the dining room being closed and the fact that the parking lot is too cramped for drive thru. Hate going through a drive thru to order this kinda food as my order has alot of customization. They were pretty fast, i just hate holding the line up for my big, complicated order lol. Order was 100% correct though.
Red salsa was very watery but had a good taste. Green salsa was amazing. Again, minor complaints so not deal breakers. Overall, loved it and will be back!“

“good food !!! cold ice coke as well“

“I never leave reviews but my wife asks for street tacos at least a couple times a month and they never fail to satisfy us. The tortillas are great, the meat tender and juicy, the vegetables are fresh, what more could I ask for!! Sure it’s outside a family dollar and the truck looks a little rough but that’s how you know it’s ACTUALLY GOOD. Love supporting these guys

Parking: It’s a dirt lot but you could park in front of family dollar if you’re picky.“

“Alexis (bartender) super friendly makes the atmosphere entertaining 👌“

“The best mexican in Texas. Staff is friendly and food is amazing.“

“La comida está muy rica, en especial la barbacoa y la birria, y los tacos Jaliscos con su consomé, y también son bastante rápidos“

“Me my husband and the baby popped in for a quick lunch and oh my God. The food tastes just like home, the prices are super affordable and everything is homemade. I think the guy that served us is the owner such a kind soul. We'll definitely be going back. My favorite part? The char grilled serrano peppers. Thank you for your wonderful service. Definitely a 10/10“

“Food always great service great too prices are great“

“Desde que llegué a vivir a Temple, este restaurante ha sido el lugar favorito de mi familia. Pero hoy tuvimos una experiencia absolutamente inaceptable. Conozco al gerente y, al llegar, nos colocaron junto a la puerta del privado. Ahí solo había dos comensales y el gerente, quien parecía estar de fiesta. Literalmente, los gritos y carcajadas no paraban y eran insoportablemente fuertes. Cuando la mesera se acercó, le pedí respetuosamente que cerrara la puerta de cristal para poder comer en paz. La mesera accedió y cerró la puerta, pero el gerente, el causante del ruido, le ordenó que la dejara abierta. En lugar de preguntar o disculparse, gritó que nos moviéramos a otra mesa. Esto es completamente inaceptable y una falta de respeto total. Solicité el cierre de la puerta de manera muy respetuosa, pero durante toda nuestra estancia, los gritos y risas del gerente y sus amigos fueron mucho más fuertes que la música del lugar. Que el gerente no solo genere tanto ruido sino que también maneje la situación de manera tan irrespetuosa es una vergüenza. El grito de "muévanse de mesa" fue un desafío y una muestra de que le molestó nuestra petición. Esto fue lo único que pedimos. El gerente nunca dio la cara y dejó que la mesera, quien seguía sus órdenes, manejara la situación. Es obvio que el ruido no se puede controlar al 100%, pero que el gerente sea el que genere el alboroto es inaceptable. Espero que esto llegue a oídos de los propietarios, la "Familia León". Es crucial que muestren respeto por quienes vamos a comer ahí y queremos hacerlo en paz. El ruido es entendible hasta cierto punto, pero que el gerente sea el responsable de semejante caos es intolerable. Esta situación es una muestra clara de una gestión ineficaz y una falta de respeto hacia los clientes. Espero que se tomen las medidas necesarias para garantizar que situaciones como esta no se repitan.“

“Came in and seated ourselves. We were immediately met by our waitress who took our drinks, followed directly by another waitress who directly brought us chips and salsa. Restaurant was very clean and staff worked together greatly helping each other out. Food came out quickly, was served hot and had great taste. Overall a great dining experience. We will return.“

“Always great food! Guaranteed 👍“

“This particular evening live band was at a venue across the street and you could feel the power throughout your bone. Cool town without the stupid traffic! Just an all around awesome atmosphere. Will be checking it out further!“

“She ain't much to look at but the love that comes out of that little building could fill a palace. I dare you to find something on their menu that isn't amazing! We originally started going here for their breakfast burritos and found that it wasn't even their specialty, it's the fried chicken! Y'all, it's so good, they sell out... They. Sell. Out. My first time trying the chicken, I was thinking, it's fried chicken, how can you make it better than any of the chain restaurants... WRONG! The batter is super crispy and the breading didn't slough off because it was too greasy, even the white meat was still moist and not overcooked. So often you get a fried breast and it's dry and stringy, not here boss! If you judge the outside, you're missing out on a culinary experience on the inside.“

“Great hole-in-the-wall Colombian restaurant that also offers baked goods. Compared to other restaurants that offer tacos, I find this place offers a great deal for breakfast tacos (3 for $5.50). The guy even gave me chips and a plate of beans beforehand while I waited. Tacos tasted good. Will definitely come back to try one of their Colombian plates and their baked goods!“

“Big flavor at a small town joint. Love this place. Went for lunch for 2 and ended up ordering 4 plates just because everything looked so good. Everything hit the spot. Whether you’re passing through and looking for a quick bite to eat or live nearby I highly recommend.“

“really good & the waiter was excellent“

“Great food, Great atmosphere“

“Had a great experience at Chuy’s Harker Heights! Our server Mykah was exceptional! The food was delicious and service excellent.“

“The lovely lady working up front, short black woman, glasses, short fro, was so sweet. She had excellent customer service 👏 she was busy but stayed perky and walked with purpose. Adore her :) the staff making the food did it as expected and it was exactly what I needed in that moment.“

“This taco bell continuously gets my very complicated order correct every single time. Unlike Taco Bell in Temple on West Adams.

Cheesy double beef burrito, NO SOUR CREAM.
^ apparently the most difficult order in the world, as I keep getting sour cream at the temple location. Ugh. Belton is great. Go here. Not Temple if you can.“
