47 Best Mexican Restaurants in Pensacola

“First visit. The service was quick and the food was delicious. It felt like we were on vacation.“

“Hands down best Al Pastor I’ve ever had. My new favorite spot in Pcola. Will be back time and time again. Also the watermelon agua fresca hits the spot before and after 6 tacos“

“We ordered birria tacos, birria quesadilla, a lengua taco, a barbacoa taco, a side of refried beans, and a bean rice and cheese burrito (for my kid). It was $40 and worth EVERY penny. We waited under 10 minutes. everything was hot and fresh. the lengua was tender and NOT chewy. 11/10!!!!“

“Food was absolutely delicious. Also, the service is Outstanding. Taco Tuesday is where it's at.

Dietary restrictions: I am Gluten-free and they accommodated me with all my silly request. I did not get sick off their food, which is very unusual because you always get contaminated no matter where you're at.“

“Not only is the food excellent, the staff is even better! If you are very lucky, Alberto might even play the guitar but only if you like his Tres Leches Cake! 🥰“

“Absolutely amazing food and service. 10/10 would recommend. Everything looked and tasted fresh. Service was quick and friendly. Overall great experience!“

“I'm in Pensacola by way of Tampa. Tampa is known for having some excellent taco spots (including food trucks), so my expectations were high. I ordered take-out from this little food truck called Tacos Mexicanos in East Hill this evening. Everything was authentic and top shelf: the tacos, the sauces, the guacamole, the chips, and the service. Five stars all around.“

“Food was amazing thank u, plus watermelon water fresh fresh. La comida estuvo deliciosa más el agua de sandía fresca omg deliciosa.“

“Best Mexican food in Escambia and Santa Rosa. The daiquiri’s are fantastic. BOGO and you can get them to go. Yay!!! Bartender is very friendly very sweet. Recommend the lime with shot of blue.“

“I bought the whole chicken one time to share and it was very good. I will go again to try something else.“

“I will never visit Pensacola again without making sure we visit and eat at Taco Mex! It was absolutely delicious - the most authentic food I've ever eaten. Beautiful atmosphere and we enjoyed shopping at the market. our waitress was so friendly❤️“

“great food and great service everytime I go.“

“What can I say except... the food was amazing with fast and friendly staff and a great environment for this type of food...their chips and salsa are my favorite so far.. the shrimp chimichanga was full to the brim with shrimp and left me with enough to take home.“

“I have been going to La Hacienda for decades and they never ever miss!! It is so consistently fresh and delicious with excellent service and atmosphere. I don’t live in this area anymore but every time I come back, I have to eat here. I used to think this location wasn’t as good as the Milton and Pace locations. But after eating lunch here twice in a row this week, I’d say it’s on the same level as the others now. I just wish we had somewhere this good in Tallahassee!“

“Amazing food, great prices. Will definitely go back.“

“Just found their location behind the BP convenience store in Perdido Key. Excellent burrito. I will be back.“

“The food was very good and the people are very nice. The tables were clean and food came out fast. I will definitely come back.“

“My husband brought me here for the first time and it was amazing! The salsa has so much flavor and spice. The food was so flavorful. WOW! I am truly impressed. We will be back. If you haven't tried them you definitely should. It is located right by the beach too!“

“Some of the best authentic Mexican street-style tacos I've ever had. They are quick, very affordable, and it's always super fresh – they grill everything on the spot when you order. I'm extremely lucky to work just up the road from these cocineras maravillosas.“

“I have been going to Miguel’s since I was a kid and it’s always been my favorite Mexican in Pensacola! I would recommend it to anyone, that’s why I left a “would recommend” review. I don’t want the positive rating to do down, but I do think the owner/manager should be aware of their restaurant today. I’m in town this week so we decided to grab lunch at Miguel’s. The food was as amazing as I remember, but the service was not so great. To be fair, the restaurant was extremely busy and we only saw two servers working. I think they were trying to do the best they could to keep up. However, after our food was delivered, we didn’t see our server for at least 30 min. I then asked the other server for to go chips, boxes and a dessert and it seemed like we were being a nuisance. Our server made it to the table with our dessert about 20 minutes later and said they had been slammed with call in to go orders. We got our to go boxes and I asked again for chips. She quickly took the bill back to add $1.25 for chips. Here is my opinion: first, don’t leave your tables alone for that long without acknowledging them. Secondly, if you are that busy in the restaurant and can’t keep up, maybe let callers know you aren’t able to take to go orders at the moment. Lastly, I honestly don’t care about paying $1.25 for a bag of chips, but when your customers have been sitting for two hours and were never even offered a drink refill, maybe throw in the chips at no charge.“

“Such amazing food and such a wonderful dining experience! Our server Presley was incredible! He did a fantastic job and made our experience here top notch!!“

“This is my home away from home! As a recovered alcoholic I never thought I'd be comfortable hanging out in one of my favorite social settings, but at LA Cabaña I'm safe, at home, welcomed and not pressured to drink. I cannot begin to sing enough praises, the people, the food, the atmosphere all of it is awesome! ✌️🤟🍀“

“The tacos are the best. One of the best menu item is their Hamburger. They have the best Hamburger. Highly recommend.“

“The chicken quesadilla and sauce with it was sooo good. chips (they make them, was better then anything I've had at a restaurant) and salsa. kids loved the hard and soft tacos. will visit again!“

“The food and service are both great here. One of my favorite taco trucks in town“

“As native Texans, we know good tacos. Juan's Flying Burrito in Pensacola also knows tacos and happy hour! Whenever we're in town staying at Jackson Street Retreat, you will find us enjoying Taco Tuesday at Juan's Flying Burrito. The street tacos are outstanding, and only $2 each, with several varieties to choose from. They have good queso, too. Juan's has a very good happy-hour margarita, as well as a couple of beer specials. Highly recommend.“

“Really enjoyed our lunch here, fajitas, enchiladas and tacos were delicious, great portions and very fast and friendly service. We will be returning!! Thanks!“

“The beeest birria tacos I’ve found around! I think about them on the daily“

“This is the best location!! I sent in an order for takeout. It is located in the building behind Garden, off Jefferson. $71 for chips & guac, crunchwrap, street tacos, and steak bowl, incl tip and taxes. There is so much food -- we will have at least 2 more meals. The truck is right next to an outdoor bar that I cannot wait to visit in person next girls night out.“

“I was so sad to see Lupitas was gone, but Karina’s is SOOOOOOO much better!! My fiance & I eat here at least twice a month. Food is always hot & fresh, and Karina & her family offer the best customer service. I have never received a wrong order from her and I never check my bag until I get home. Her and her daughters are always very friendly and welcoming! 10/10 recommend

Parking: Located inside the gas station

Wheelchair accessibility: They are inside a gas station.“

“I ate here for the very first time and let me just say it was the best burrito I have ever had in my life. The cactus grits on your burrito is a must. The staff was very friendly and prompt. I will be going back to eat here and I suggest you do as well. I went to the one on 12th ave in Pensacola . Just superb! Great food, clean restaurant, and wonderful staff .“

“Such amazing food and such a wonderful dining experience! Our server Presley was incredible! He did a fantastic job and made our experience here top notch!!“

“Great food, great staff, great atmosphere. Will we return for another meal? Yes we will! Looking forward to it! Thank-you Cazadores!“

“I will say that I have traveled Many times state side and abroad. Just happened to note the name Cactus Flower- California style.. I'm a native Texan and I know Mexican.. This beats anything I've had in Florida.. almost as good as Dallas.. I highly recommend this. Staff was busy with lunch and attentive.. service was swift, prompt and efficient. I highly recommend this fair for the wholesome food lover in you. My complements to the owners, chef, staff.. my bill was 14.02 I left a 20. Treat the server in your life well.. I'm a Mexican food addict.“

“Good service and food, try it“

“I came here to watch Kenny and Rod sing, as they are ALWAYS a great time! I came alone, and Jasmine was my bartender and she was amazing! So down the earth, kind and attentive! I came back a month later and she not only remembered me, but what I drank! The staff is friendly, the environment is casual, the place is always clean, and the live music on Wednesday’s and Friday’s is amazing!!!“

“I drive 30+ minutes out of my way to get this amazing food. Truly amazing owners that are very kind and make the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. My favorites are the asada fries, Birria tacos, Cali burrito, and the tamales are fantastic. This place has been a staple for me and my family for the past three years since I’ve gotten here to Pensacola. I highly recommend to everyone, an absolute 10/10 experience!!“

“This is a great place for food and it's located perfectly right outside the mall. Food would almost be a five star, depending on a few things. The freshness of the chips, and trust me you can tell if they were last night's leftovers. And the most important thing the ingredients. My last visit was the best and I will tell you why. The gentleman stirred up ingredients before applying them which means you are getting all the flavors and the freshness of that ingredient. Not the cold, dried top portion, which will always get. This comes with training and experience and will make the difference when comes to them presenting their best product. And its still better than Taco Bell. ?“

“Food, service and atmosphere are spot on! Order was brought to the table in a very timely manner, and everyone was friendly and seemed glad we were there. The portions were very generous. Will def go back as soon as possible. Give them a try...you will not be disappointed.“

“Taco salad and fajitas. Both cooked right. Peppers had that charred edge that enhances the sweet. Fried taco salad bowl was a little different but ultimately delicious. Chips served with 3 salsas. Green hot. Red hot. Red medium. All delicious. Service was excellent. I’ll be back.“

“The absolute best. I try to eat here at least once a week. The tacos cabeza and tacos lengua are delicious but I’m biased to my favorite — al pastor. The associates are so friendly and the prices can’t be beat. You will never regret coming here. ¡Hasta pronto mis amigos!“
