20 Best Mexican Restaurants near Forest

“Friendly staff, excellent food and drinks. Celebrated my grandson’s birthday here and the staff was so great to him.“

“Great food, fresh and well prepared. Fried ice cream is a must. Would love to hear some louder music and possibly more lively atmosphere.

Skinny margs are alright, good tequila quantities but would be nice if they offered a fresh house-made marg mix. Rather than the syrup.

I’d rate the burritos on the high end!“

“Hidden gem. The food is amazing and the price is hard to beat in Lynchburg. Highly recommend. Just don't expect fast service. The wait is worth it though. Very litter filler with minimal rice and beans and actual sides to go with your meal on most orders. Absolutely amazing when most places give you a ton of rice and beans and small portion of your main dish.“

“11.2.21 This crew was on point! Dined in and used the kiosk to order. Competed order and turned around our drink cups were sitting on the counter. By the time we filled our drinks our food was ready and it was made very well. Great experience.“

“A friend recommended El Camino for authentic Mexican cuisine, and I must say, the recommendation was spot on. The food is exceptional—some of the best I’ve had in years—and it has quickly become my favorite spot in Lynchburg. I look forward to returning!“

“Best lacaretta in the city.“

“La Cocina has become a go-to favorite for me and my husband! The food is delicious every time!“

“Food was very good, beans are homemade and not canned. Truly authentic Mexican food. Rice and beans taste so fresh, not yuck like when sitting in steam table all day like other Mexican restaurants around here. Very reasonably priced compared to others as well! 5 stars!!“

“absolutely amazing food EVERY SINGLE time“

“Awesome food. Excellent service.“

“Good service when dining in, and very fast when ordering to-go. If you don't in on a weeknight you may be pleasantly surprised at just how quickly you get your food, but on the weekends expect a regular wait time. For something a little more authentic, try the Chilaquiles (spicy) or the Tacos Al Pastor with Horchata as your drink! The fajitas are really good, and enough food for one parent to share with two little kids as long as you ask for more tortillas.“

“I have visited twice now and they did not disappoint. The food is great, the service is fast, and the price is great!“

“The best by far! Highly recommend to anyone looking for the best Mexican food!“

“The food here is amazing. It has such an authentic, comforting delicious taste. I am a fellow traveler here for work and I am coming to find Lynchburg does not have many food options. This place has empanadas, the best tacos, tamales, enfrijoladas or enmoladas, tostadas (mouth watering), fresh waters or “aguas frescas.” The menu has so much more; I recommend this place and it is a 10/10.“

“Came back to Lynchburg for the first time in almost 20 years. This was at the top of my food list for the trip. My friends and I came here every Friday for many years. Love the food, love the service. Not much has changed. I miss this place! ?“

“Lola’s has been a staple for me and my boyfriend for a long while. The food is always amazing and is only topped by the service!“

“Amazing tacos with fresh corn tortillas! I will soon be visiting again“

“Had a wonderful evening..the atmosphere was beautiful and relaxing and the food was delicious...looking forward to dining there again. YUM“

“Great tacos 🌮 and burritos 🌯 the works are very nice and friendly James is the owner he’s nice and he knows me and my dad so I definitely recommend y’all trying it out.“

“love their food. it's always fresh, organic and delicious. only problem I have is with their pico. some times veggies are not cut evenly so you might get a big chunk of onion or chili, then you might get a big blast of that one taste instead of a nice rounded combination. it's also good to know that everything is organic or they dont offer it.“
