50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Greendale

“Fernando was wonderful! Thank you so much for your generous helpings, fresh food! We can’t wait to try more dishes!“

“flavors were excellent. large topping assortments. unique Mexican menu items. pineapple guava juice with bits of fruit amazing.“

“First time and the food was soooo good.“

“The food is authentic Mexican, delicious and reasonably priced. The dining room is small, nicely decorated and clean. I had a Mexican style pastor taco with pineapple and a pork tamale with red sauce. My companion had enchiladas w/ green sauce, rice and beans. Complimentary chips and salsa are brought to your table. You order and pay at a counter, and bottled and canned beverages are available to purchase in a frig there. If you're eating on site your food is delivered to the adjacent dining room when it's ready (along with 2 squeeze bottles of red and green sauce). It appears that the majority of their business is take out. They don't have a liquor license so sadly we couldn't have cervezas with our lunch but that won't keep us away. We'll definitely be back ~ thank you!“

A true 🪎 💎“

“We love the restaurant! They had great food, reasonably priced drinks and friendly customer service. The owner was especially kind and welcoming on karaoke night“

“I always enjoyed Tu Casa. The food is good and the service is excellent. The only issue is that we both asked for no rice and beans with our dinners. So, instead of charging us the dinner price we got À la carte price, three tacos without rice and beans $2-3 more expensive than the dinner. Two chimis with a side of sour cream and a side of guac and no rice and beans…you guessed it $6-7 more than the dinner. Including two $4.50 glasses of ice tea our lunch was $48.42, unfortunate.“

“Love Botanas!! Adrian, Alexis, Juan, Pablo, Axel and Brian are all amazing. Everyone always remembers us which is so nice. Margaritas, food and service all always top notch. Everyone is so friendly, and we always get a “thank you” from the host/hostess upon leaving. We are so glad we found you 💞“

“The Best hands down!!!! Carnitas are worth the drive and Tortillas!! The Crowd speak Volumes about the Restaurant and their Food!“

“It was out 1st time in. The food and staff were great. We will definitely be back“

“If I could give a 10-star review I would!!! We hired Frida’s for a private party at our home. Excellent food, incredible service and fair pricing. Will definitely use them again!!“

“My wife and I had two amazing pambazos. The food was delicious! The cook, Jonathon did a great job. Betty our waitress was so nice! They were accommodating to our baby. The salsas are authentic and not too spicy. I frequent Arandas and La Sierrita on 13th street a lot and El Locale’s food is as good as those places. We will definitely be back!“

“Great food always delicious“

“You know what they say about first impressions, right? This place!!! Wow!!! To say I was impressed from the moment I walked in would be an understatement. From The smiling Hostess, to the table services… and then wait for it….. the FOOD!!!!! Outstanding, delicious, like yes, I am raving about this place. Ms. Freda was amazing from start to finish. I had #16! The white rice and beans, with the chicharrones, a thinly cut steak, a sausage chorizo, salad, plantains, and a taste of the yuca frita. OH MY OH MY OH MY!!! My hope really is that this place makes it for years to come and expands to other parts of the city! The design of the place has a vibe that invites you in to stay awhile. To enjoy the flavors of the food entries offered. Each one I have to imagine just as good as what I had. This being my first time there I left with a happy heart and a happy tummy! With a mind made up that I will be back! For more of this delicious and wonderful experience! I invite you to come. You won’t be disappointed! I promise!“

“I stopped in tonight for the first time and immediately fell in love with the fun and lively atmosphere. Lupita graciously chatted with me and another lovely lady gave me a sample of her delicious pumpkin dessert. The family who owns this place are extremely welcoming and kind and the food is delicious! I will definitely return.“

“Great food. Any time in the area we have to stop.“

“Looking for an excellent vibe and great drinks / food....this is the place you are looking for! LOVE LOVE LOVE! The private party room is absolutely beautiful! Well Done!“

“We recently hired Romero’s taco truck for my son’s graduation party. They were professional and organized & their prices were very reasonable.

“We have eaten here at least 25 times! The good is fresh,hot when served. The chips and sauce are hot and the best in town. We love Lil' Cancun!“

“Good eating, good service& wonderful margaritas 👍“

“📜 Chronicle V: El Beso — A Feast in a Faraway Hall

There are taverns along the road where a weary traveler may find a meal, take his rest, and continue onward.

And then there are places where one crosses the threshold and discovers an entirely different realm.

El Beso is such a place.

I have known the hospitality of many peoples in my travels. The Elves welcome a traveler with grace, song, and a table elegantly laid. The Dwarves will fill your cup, heap your plate, and expect a proper tale before the fire. And the Hobbits—well, a Hobbit considers an empty stomach a problem requiring immediate attention.

Yet the folk of El Beso possess a hospitality all their own.

Cross its threshold and the whole world seems to brighten. The halls are alive with color and cheerful conversation, while the sounds of a mariachi band carry through the air. There is the merriment of a lively tavern here, certainly—but something warmer beneath it.

It feels almost as though you have wandered past the restaurant entirely and through the gate of a great Latino family gathering in the backyard, where the music is already playing, the tables are crowded with food, glasses are being raised, and someone has decided that since you are here, you had better sit down and eat.

A traveler could grow quite fond of such customs.

And what a table!

The enchiladas have long been among my favorites, as have the quesadillas. Their salsa is excellent, while the queso possesses some curious enchantment by which an entire bowl disappears before one remembers eating it.

But every traveler eventually discovers his chosen potion.

Mine is the mango margarita.

Sweet, cold, and dangerously refreshing. I have encountered many mysterious brews upon the road, but this one has earned a permanent place in my chronicles. A second should perhaps be approached with the wisdom of an Elf rather than the enthusiasm of a Took.

El Beso remains one of my favorite taverns in all my travels—not merely for its excellent food and drink, but for its spirit. It somehow captures both the colorful delight of a bustling restaurant and bar and the warmth of being welcomed into a family celebration.

There is life within these walls. Music. Laughter. Generosity. Good food passed around a table. And that wonderful sense that there is always room for one more traveler.

Should your road ever lead you past El Beso, do not simply pass it by.

Enter the hall. Join the feast. Raise your glass among strangers who may soon feel like friends.

“Los Tacos Unicos is an absolute hidden gem. The owner and staff are incredibly welcoming and treat every customer with genuine kindness, making you feel right at home. I had the lamb chops plate, and they were easily the best lamb chops I’ve ever had — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and unforgettable. Amazing food, great service, and a place I’ll definitely be coming back to. Highly recommended!“

“Last night we had a large party for a 60th birthday. The food and drinks where delicious as always. Especially the seafood enchilada and mango margarita!! Our server, Madison, was absolutely outstanding. She handled our party of 22 like a pro. Everything went like clockwork and she was attentive, anticipatory and really friendly. She is a TRUE asset to your restaurant. Especially because she handled it all by herself!! The food runner was also courteous and efficient, quickly getting everyone their dishes. And the fact that your kitchen can get that many orders spot on, without error, and out all at once is amazing. Our running group loves your restaurant so much. Thanks again for allowing me to bring in a birthday dessert and for always being so accommodating to our group!! It's why we keep coming back.“
