27 Best Mexican Restaurants in Roanoke

“Hands down best Mexican food and service awesome people“

“This is my favorite Mexican place in all of Roanoke. They will make anything vegetarian for me, even if it isn't on the menu. They are so sweet and the food is delicious. It's an incredible value for your money as well. We always get multiple meals out of what we order. They're also one of the few places that do breakfast. It's a 10 every time.“

“4 Star: Food: using less chicken with more rice as a filler for the ACP. Menu Cost: If you ask for a side of cheese dip, you will pay/receive the pricy appetizer only. Raised prices not shown on internet menu. $2 added to my bill!“

“***Attention all BLACKS in the Roanoke/Salem area...If you have EVER been to El Rodeo on Electric Road or plan on going, check this out.**** THIS restaurant ADDS GRATUITY TO "CERTAIN PEOPLE's" tab. I was told VERBATIM..."YOU PEOPLE DON'T PAY TIPS"!!!!!!! Let me back up a bit! Janaia Bass, my babygrands and I went to grab a bite between Journey's performances. We were glad the place wasn't crowded. I know this location well as I worked down the street and we came here for lunch as well as ordered takeout quite frequently. I noticed that we were waiting longer than the "OTHER" people around us. We were sitting outside and was the only family of color in the place that I saw. Once we got our food, everything was ok....until we got the check. I was about to pay it when I noticed a "room tax" for 18%....wth??? Were they charging us for sitting outside??? I also noticed a spot for an "additional tip". Janaia went in to ask what the $9 charge was. Now everybody knows gratuity is normally automatically added for parties of 8 or more...we had 4. She came back and said it was his tip. Ok...why and why label it incorrectly as a "ROOM TAX"??? Why was it not called a GRATUITY???? I wanted to know why he added a tip to a party of 4 and by doing so screwed himself out of a larger tip because I normally tip at least 20%....18 at the least! I asked our waiter he said, "you people do not tip. Not you...I felt bad adding it, but normally you people do not tip"! I WENT OFF!!! I let him know that he does not know a thing about me or HOW I TIP and cannot JUDGE ME based on the color of my skin or what some other black person does!!!! I was LIVID! Janaia asked how he felt when he is discriminated against! He had no answer!!! All he could do was look, listen and apologize! I told him my daughter had been a waitress and therefore, I KNOW how hard they work and I always reward good service. TIPS are NOT mandatory! It is at MY discretion whether you get one or not! But to add a tip based on the color of one's skin....well that is ILLEGAL!!! At this point other waiters had gathered and I made sure they knew what had happened and just how Wrong THEY WERE!! A young black couple walked in while all this was going on and once I told them what had happened, that young brother wanted to put our waiter through the floor!!! I told him it wasn't worth it and that I was ok and handling it!!! His gf got him out...but he came back again...he was LIVID! WE ARE ALL TIRED OF THIS BS!!!!!!! I gave them a serious tongue lashing!! I got my $10 back and Carlos B DID NOT GET A TIP!!! He screwed himself!!! Check your receipts people!!!! This is the first time this has happened to me as I always check my receipts. Still can't believe it though.😡😡😡😡 #NOjusticeJUSTus #discriminationSUCKS“
