Restaurantji's Theodore recommendations for the finest Mexican cuisine.
“Fantastic food served quickly by friendly attentive staff who are on the ball in a relaxed atmosphere. A clean quiet affair whether for lunch with the coworkers , drinks with your girls or a nice dinner just the two of you, the house or San Miguel is a welcome spot to grab a great meal and relax on the porch and listen to some live music or the soothing melodies of a mariachi band. Always tip the entertainers and the professional waitstaff, and do it well! Don’t skimp! because the Lord loves a cheerful giver! Gotcha on that one. JBP“
“This is a hole in the wall and you may pass it thinking that it is just some run down house. Be prepared! The food is out of this world. Authentic and well seasoned. The lengua is tender. Service can be a bit slow and everything is made to order. Oh yeah, Mexican Coke!! 8/10 because service could be better.“
“My new favorite place to eat in Mobile. The rice bowl is outstanding!!Vegetarian options: Spinach, egg, and cheese Bingo, cheese pizza Bingo, rice bowl with fava beans instead of meat with lots of veggie toppings. Hot sauce is veganDietary restrictions: Halal“
“This place is amazing!!!! I never knew it was right here under my nose until my boyfriend drove by and saw it. We love trying new places and so glad we did. It smells amazing when you walk in and the service was great. There are so many delicious looking options. You wouldn’t think popsicles (paletas) could come in so many flavors. I had the key lime pie paleta and my boyfriend had the s’mores one. They were delicious. We will definitely be back to try more.“
“So excited to have Tijuana Flats in Mobile!!! I had no idea this location existed and stopped in immediately upon seeing the sign. Spoke with the manager(owner?) and he was incredibly friendly and could tell how excited I was for a closer location. The food was delicious and service was quick! Can’t wait to go back!!!“
“This place is incredible. This has to be one of Mobiles best kept secrets, I have never in my life had better and more authentic Hispanic food. Everything in this place is cooked perfectly and tastes so so good. The atmosphere is amazing and feels very welcoming. The staff is always super nice and helpful, the menu makes sense, and the prices are phenomenal. After eating here I will never be going to a Mexican food establishment besides this one. If you haven’t eaten here yet you have to. The nachos are incredible as an appetizer, and you can’t go wrong with fajitas but it doesn’t matter what you get because it will not disappoint. The first time I went I ordered a Horchata not sure what tie spect and by the end of the night I had ordered three of them.Vegetarian options: Decent vegetarian selectionParking: Easy to find parkingKid-friendliness: Very kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible, with several handicapped parking spaces“
“Wow! Just so good. From the minute we stepped in line to order we were greeted, offered a menu and asked if we would like to get something to drink while we waited to order. Our drinks came out immediately! The food was amazing. They accidentally added sour cream to hubby’s order. He ask the waitress if he could get one without sour cream ( can’t eat it) and he had another made and back to the table in ONE minute- literally! The queso & the food was the bomb- drinks were cold and service was great! Highly recommended!!! Wish there was one in Pensacola! Way to go Taco Mama, you knocked it out of the park!“
“Excellent food all the way around, from beans, chips, pupusas, salsa, tacos, tamales, and tortillas, yes we had it all. Our waiter was superb! We had to sit outside because the music was too loud and we wanted to talk but other than that its was perfect.“
“As a fellow business owner, Big Easy Diner in Slidell LA- we had lunch at San Miguel and Miss Jordan was our server! She was friendly, funny, and charming! Having a great waitstaff absolutely makes or breaks a dining experience. Thank you to our wonderful server, we will be back and request Jordan!“
“I really enjoyed this place! The staff was very nice and the atmosphere was cheerful. The food was very good! I had the Bayou Nachos with steak and it was amazing. It is a little pricey, but definitely worth trying out!Kid-friendliness: They were actually having a birthday party while we were there. Everyone seemed to be really enjoying theirselves.“
“The food was absolutely amazing. Glad we stopped here on our way back to Birmingham from Biloxi. The restaurant was clean and it wasn't dark like most Mexican restaurants we have been to. Can't wait for our next trip because we will definitely be back.“
“Stopped by for lunch and went back with friends for dinner. Have tried the Birria Quesadilla and have tried the chicken and rice with cheese. You can't go wrong with either. I did feel the Horchata was a little overpriced for the amount compared to other places but overall was a good experience. Service was friendly and attentive“
“In my opinion, the best Tex-Mex restaurant in the area. The only draw back is that it is a little too small for the customer base, and due to sharing a small land-locked parking area with several other businesses then it can be difficult to find parking. If you show up during peak lunch and dinner hours then expect a wait. They do offer carry-out if that is what you are looking for.“
“HUGE SHOUTOUT TO THE 1 PM CREW TODAY! We came in and we were greeted with a nice, warm WELCOME TO MOES! The service was great from start to finish. The food was spectacular. Everyone was so friendly. The guy in the blue polo was a star! You definitely get more of a bite for your buck! Love my local Moe’s!“
“Great little spot if you like delicious tacos, cheap prices, fast service and no frills. The tacos are either 3 or 4 dollars depending on the protein you choose. But these are not small tacos. I ordered one Campechana (my favorite of the three), one Carnitas (very tasty and juicy pork), and one barbacoa (good. A little too much sauce on mine). I would definitely recommend this place.“
“I recently ordered from a food delivery app. Aztecas had the food ready quickly, and the driver picked it up, but never brought it to my house. The food delivery service created a new order for me, then canceled it too. But they did not cancel with the restaurant. The Assistant Manager at Aztecas knew all the trouble I was going thru, and personally delivered the order himself. TO MY HOUSE!! I have NEVER experienced this level of customer service. And the food was delicious. I have been going to this restaurant for years and highly recommend it for great food and great service!!“
“The staff and owners were so accommodating for our party of 50 plus. We did let them know in advance the date and time. Our family met there after a celebration of life service. This is one of the best kept secret Mexican Restaurants in Mobile. Food and margaritas are great.“
“Absolute best customer service. Always exceeds our expectations. The seating benches really need to be cleaned due to the being wood and the backs or painted. You can see the film on the chairs from people dirty hands. I always take lysol wipes. The food is great and they are always packed when we go.Vegetarian options: They can pretty much make any dish a vegetarian dish. ? Lo e the customer service. Make sure to tip. They deserve it.“
“Been wanting La Cocina’s enchiladas for a few days now. Finally saw my opportunity and drove over to the location on Airport. Ended up getting an enchilada + tostada combo. It’s so good. Everything I’ve been wanting. The salsa too! The salsa is absolutely amazing. La Cocina is by far one of my favorite restaurants in Mobile. They’re my comfort place. I highly recommend it. Service was quick. Waitress was amazing. I loved sitting in my little booth in the corner and chilling alone as I shoved my face with food. Super stuffed now, so there’s also that. The portions are great. You won’t be hungry after. Anyway, I highly recommend La Cocina. Go eat there.“
“First time at this location. I called the grandchildren to see if they were at their Moms office downtown. The youngest asked if I could stop at Taco Bell. Of course! The young man in the drive through was so patient with the person in front of me. A good experience!“
“I eat Mexican food 2-3 times a week, and this is by far the most consistent Mexican restaurant in Mobile. You sit down, chips & salsa hit the table. Great service, plenty of food on the plate and red sauce is very good, unlike a lot of others.“
“The food & service were both really good. The chips, salsa, & caso were great. It takes a lot for me to be impressed with a Mexican restaurant's chips & salsa. The cleanliness of the place was extremely clean, even the bathroom.“

“Love their crispy tortilla shell. I get it to go often. Though it never has the cheese dip on it like it says it should. The restaurant has a nice outdoor patio though the inside needs some TLCVegetarian options: This taco salad can be served without a protein.Parking: The lot is tight and hard to back out of when full but it’s free!“
“Villa Del Rey is one of our current, go-to spots for Mexican. It’s solid Mexican fare, but its more expensive than many other Mexican spots. The service can also be hit or miss, but I’ve found that to be true all over Mobile. I really like their white corn tortillas.“
“01/13/2024 @ 1230 pm. Moes staff today was vibing so well. Great customer service and atmosphere. These young peoole will do well in life. I did not get their names but man they did such q good job. They had me pumped before i left the place. 10/10 today. Keep it up!“

“I don't think there is a Latina restaurant that I have not tried in Moblie... and this little joint is the best I have found so far. The tacos are amazing. The meat is marinated for a long time, giving it a rich flavor, and the tortillas are coated with butter or something, damn theyre good!“
