44 Best Mexican Restaurants in Anchorage

“I was literally on my bike commuting through midtown Anchorage in the middle of winter when I stumbled upon the alluring food truck of Taqueria Cortez. I decided to take a gander at the menu. After a fun chat with the owner, I couldn’t resist the temptation of trying their tacos. I’m beyond impressed. If a professional food reviewer claimed these tacos are the best in Anchorage—it wouldn’t be an exaggeration. Homemade corn tortillas! The owner is constantly preparing food so it’s fresh, fast, and incredibly delicious. Definitely try Taqueria Cortez because it’s rare to fall in love in Anchorage. I will return with chihuahua!“

“This place was awesome! Spent 3 nights in Anchorage in early September and ended up eating here two days straight. It’s basically a Qdoba and Chipotle type place, you can dine in but it’s a quick-serve restaurant where most people get orders to-go. It’s better than both Qdoba and Chipotle, I’d love to eat there again!“

“Great food, excellent service. Clean restaurant with a nice ambience.“

“Favorite place for date night! The staff take excellent care of you! Highly recommend!“

“Food was great, staff was friendly and attentive.“

“Best Mexican food in Alaska! Home made tortillas are perfect. All dishes are authentic and thoughtful. Owners are kind and talented“

“I haven't been to the place myself, but come on. A Mexican themed restaurant always slaps.

The food is simply wonderful. I ate a shrimp taco that looked small at first, but I was tricked because it was laid out flat and not how an American taco do. So, it was really big for a single taco to exist. It also was so magnificently tasty; I ate the taco droppings with my fingers.

The burritos are amazingly large and rotund. One can't believe they're biting into something so big. Not to mention the wonderful natural meat flavors being followed with a delightful spicy aftertaste. It so lightly teases the tongue.

I haven't bitten into the chocolate flan yet, but it's sweet bread covered in cream. What can go wrong?

The horchata...
It's to die for.
Out of this world, sweet and creamy beverage.“

“Food poisoned at the Boniface Taco King March 10th, 2025. I think the open sauces haven't been changed in a while, or the shrimp was bad in my burrito. I threw up multiple times throughout the night into the next morning. Laid in bed all day March 11th I haven't eaten in 24hrs. It's now March 12th, and I'm still on fluids only. This is the first time this has happened to me at one of your locations. I've eaten at other Taco King's and your food is really good, but this past experience was horrible.“

“Good evening I would like to thank the chef for the delicious Steak a la Mexicana and my husband liked the taco salad too thank you“

“I was hungry. Google maps showed this place was close. No drive up, just a little counter inside the front door and a couple of cooks. Cash only. I had a ten, so went with the Verde burrito. Steak, at the recommendation of the house. Spicy, yes please. Paid and tipped and waited in the nice weather outside. 3 minutes later, they called out Steak Verde, and it was hot, spicy and steak-y. Waaay better than stopping at Taco Bell, bigger burrito, and fresher too.

Vegetarian options: Can get salads

Parking: Gravel parking lot.“

“Wow. If I could give 6 stars, I would because birria is one of my favorite things. And how delightful to find good birria, of all things, way up in Alaska! The quesabirria tacos are generous! The meat is amazing. The asadero cheese is perfect. The consume is so good. And it's a cherry on top to get a roasted jalapeno and delicious salsa. I'd rate it among the best birria I've ever had. I'm so happy to find such a place in Anchorage. It helps break up the monotony of the usual places I go to.“

“Chairs could definitely be more comfortable. The food was great. Service was awesome. pauline was very knowledgeable. Did not hurt that she's an absolute little cutie. We had four people that had the tacos, and I had the halibut. Not a negative comment other than the price from any of us.“

“Other than having to repeat my order, it was a good visit with good food.“

“Amazing Flavors! Best burrito in town. Highly recommend visiting for your next favorite lunch spot.“

“RESTAURANT REVIEW EL RODEO on Muldoon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Never disappoints. •Friendly, attentive staff. •Clean tables & bathrooms •Strong Drinks •Good music •Perfect food We ordered the Asada Fries and they were seasoned, hot, fresh, and not soggy. We also got a few chicken enchiladas and a few crispy tacos. Both on point. Always the best chips & salsa, too. I was even able to sit there a while, relax, and do some correspondence via messenger and book orders. They had no problem with me chilling a while. This has not been my first experience here because I live across the street and every single time, it’s spot on. I highly recommend El Rodeo. Anything you order will be bomb.“

“Best Chili Relanos & tamales in Anchorage. The food may take about 20 minutes, but its guaranteed to be fresh & hot. #23“

“Service is hit or miss, chips are sometimes stale, but the carnitas are always excellent.“

“The cheese burrito with rice and yummy smoked refried beans is the bomb! I stopped by for lunch today after reading online reviews. The place looks kinda rough, but the food is delish!“

“I have been living off of tacos and trying to find a new great taco location as often as possible. This weekend i finally stopped in at the Serranos on Tudor and had a very delightful surprise when I ordered their chicken street tacos. The meat was deliciously seasoned and moist. We also got a side of chips and salsa that to munch on before the food arrived. I will be back to get these tacos again. The atmosphere was relaxing at the bar. The server was courteous and attentive, telling us about all the tequilas they have. If you're looking for some top shelf tequila, this is the place to go.
Thanks!“

“A very nice family owned type burrito place. For a city that doesn't have a Chipotle, it scratches the itch. Seating is very limited, so don't go with a big or even medium-sized group and expect there to be seating. The burritos are huge, and they don't skimp out on the portions.“

“Delicious and Delicioso !’ Fast friendly service, with a stunning view of the Anchorage mountains. Amazing Birria qualifies as the best north of the Rio Grande, and this Mexican traveling well over forty years back and fro Mexico and Cebtral and South America knows his way around Mexican and Latin cuisine.“

“The lunch buffet is back and as yummy as ever! I’ve been a fan of Mexico in Alaska since the mid-80s. Great food, great service, wonderful owner. Try it!“

“is a small place but it is good“

“I commend the staff for accommodating our party of 12 on a Saturday night. Food was excellent and service was amazing. Our new favorite Mexican spot in eagle River!“

“Ever since my work place chose Burrito factory to cater for one of our afternoon all staff meetings, I've been hooked to ordering from them once a week or twice a month. Portion size is amazing, consistency and flavors are spot on! I was born and raised in Anchorage and only learned about them last year. When I order online and pick up the staff is always friendly. Thank you so much for being awesome! 💕“

“It’s been a while since I’ve been here but all the staff members were absolutely amazing. Ask for Felix the Cat (LOL), he will absolutely put a smile on your face!! Everything was great. Thank you Felix and staff!! Thank you for good food and drinks!!“

“Great Service! Best Frozen Mango Margarita in town!“

“Service is hit or miss, chips are sometimes stale, but the carnitas are always excellent.“

“Food and service fantastic! Everyone is family 🥰“

“A group of five of us went to dinner at Serrano’s around 6pm on Friday night. We found a table and ordered drinks, apps and entrees. We expressed we had to be somewhere at 7. The service was top notch, our beverages and food arrived quickly and everything tasted amazing. We had ordered a round of margaritas, a beer, egg rolls, chips and guacamole, the chicken rice bowl, chimichangas, the burro, street tacos and enchiladas. Highly recommend everything! We got done with our meal with plenty of time to spare to make it to our evening event. We will be returning soon!“

“always love SC however the taquitos are way too thin and can't taste the meat with all the bells and whistle which are tasty but I don't taste the steak. sad panda“

“Outstanding service! I ordered a pork bowl for pickup, only to find out when i arrived that i had in error placed the order at a different location. Thank you employee Faith, for going the extra mile so i could seamlessly pickup my food at muldoon.
Food was fresh and quick, notably crisp romaine and juicy pico.“

“The food was everything I hoped for! The staff was also very awesome and welcoming!“

“Taco Laco made the most incredible taco shells EVER. I've bought taco shells in Mexico, Southern California, Texas, and Arizona and nothing compares to the fresh corn flavor and perfect crispness of Taco Laco's very own Anchorage-made taco shells. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find them in Alaska stores lately. I called Taco Laco today and was sad to hear that they have just taken them off their production line. Nooo!!! I will continue to buy other Taco Laco products, but I really hope they reconsider not making the shells any more. Sigh me.. Worst Taco Tuesday ever..“

“I love Rush Espresso. I have been going there for my coffee for about 3 years now. It is conveniently located en route to my job and I love that they have Italian Cafe d'arte coffee. I like to order a decaf blueberry white chocolate mocha there. Fast, reliable service made my nice people.“

“In all my years of Taco Bell addiction across the country, this has been my favorite location (excluding the cantinas). They get my complicated orders right far more often than any other location 95% of the time at least) and they never skimp on the portions. I do wish the parking lot allowed for a real line to form, but that’s not their fault“

“Great customer service and they keep the place clean and orderly.

That comment was for a couple of days ago this is Sunday and I went in there the people working I did not like the attitude a bland cold look on their face I'm good on the negativity..“

“Most normally I rate this place below zero. I go here because it is fast and easy. Today I asked them to please make my dinner look like their advertisement. They did.. oh my gosh best tacos ever from this place. There was taco meaT, sour cream, cheese lettuce and tomatoes clear to the top. Thank you thank you.“
