11 Best Mexican Restaurants near Salem

“What a great place. Food was excellent. Our server Becky was awesome. Thanks for a great dining experience! Music was fun as well.“

“Brayden is such a kind man. He is great at taking my order and always has a welcoming face. When I pull up and see his smile. I get full of excitement to order. He is the only reason I come to this Taco Bell. Even though its 16 miles from my house. Its better than going to the Taco Bell in Antioch, which sucks. The parking lot is too small when I try to bring my truck and trailer in. If you see Brayden, you know your order is gonna be good.

Parking: The parking lot is very small. Hard for me to pull in with my truck and trailer.“

“We’ve been enjoying Taco Tuesday at Mexican Paradise for the past few weeks, and every visit has been nothing short of fantastic. Brian, the owner, personally delivers food to tables and makes it a point to give every kid a high five and a ring pop before they leave. He and his wife are constantly moving through the restaurant, making sure every table is well taken care of while also connecting with their guests. The staff is friendly, attentive, and quick, and the food is always delicious with just the right portion sizes. Tonight, I noticed Brian taking the time to hold the door for an elderly woman and even walking her to her car to ensure she got there safely. Our waitress then informed us he does this every single night for his whole staff. 🥹 Dining at Mexican Paradise isn’t just about the food—it’s a full experience made with care, perfect for the whole family.“
