8 Best Mexican Restaurants near Charles Town

“I've been eating here for over 10 years! Have tried multiple other places and this place always takes #1!! Absolutely delicious!“

“Since moving from San Diego California to Charles Town in early 2000s I always missed the abundant access to local fresh Mexican food; near impossible to find the same un-Americanized style in the Jefferson County area. When I stumbled across Ortega’s and then finding out the Ortega family was from my old stomping grounds, I felt like I struck gold. Being a local boutique pepper grower I was able to share peppers with Ortega’s from Jalapeños to Chocolate Habaneros. I’m a burrito lover and will ask to change up the carne asada burrito by removing most of the rice and beans and adding more carne to closer match the Taco/Burrito shops in San Diego of straight carne. The also make one of my fav if you lucky enough to find packaged in the counter fridge “escabeche” Mexican Pickled Jalapeño and Carrots (Jalapeño y zanahorias en escabeche). Ortega’s to truly a gem of Charles Town so please stop in and give them a try, I wish the Ortega’s team many more years of success! “

“We needed something fast for lunch, so we shared the Luxe Box, which was enough for two of us to share to tide us over until dinner and was around $11-12 with an extra medium drink, so we have our gift card to eat one more lunch at Taco Bell for a quick lunch! Clean, fast, courteous at Charlestown, WV location, and were getting ready to put Christmas decorations out. Therefore, 5 stars for a fast food joint.“

“Fantastic, scrumptious food! Def go here when in Shepherdstown.“

“one of our favorite places, tastes just like fresh homemade Mexican food and let me tell you there is not many places in this area that serve actual authentic food, other places claim to be authentic Mexican but are in fact tex-mex (big difference) but this is the real deal 10/10 recommend!!!!!! todo muy delicioso la verdad!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
