24 Best Mexican Restaurants near Troy

“The restaurant is actually a really cozy place to eat in at, the seats felt comfortable and the server I had was very pleasant. The food tasted really good, reminds me a lot of the food out in Texas, the only downside I feel is the meat aside from the shrimp is lacking, the veggies overpower them on the plate because they’re small pieces of meat. But the taste makes up for the lack of meat. Overall it was a good experience, great place to grab some food out in Troy.“

“The food we ordered was good but I know it can get better, I'm not hating, I definitely recommend this place and I hope that those in the kitchen will embrace all the spices mexican food is known for. I really wish they would use fresh tomatoes for the salsa they make instead of canned tomato juice.The server we had was excellent and the food arrived promptly.“

“My visit was Saturday, February 4th at 5pm. I have never had a Taco Bell experience like this. I walked in, a pleasant man was there to take my order, I ordered, paid, and literally within 30 seconds my order was ready. More smiles from the woman who gave me my food. Bathroom was clean, facilities were outstanding. What a great experience.“

“I tried two different vegetarian tacos and they were delicious. I could eat them every day. My daughter thought the kids hot dog was extra delicious also. Service is great.Vegetarian options: Nice variety in the vegetarian section of the menu. I tried tofu tacos and avocado/black bean tacos. Both were excellent.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu has at least 10 meal choices.“

“I LOVE OAXACA!!!! The food is delicious, the service is great, the atmosphere is electric and the margaritas…..the best I’ve ever had!!!! I could eat here every single day! The guacamole is my favorite thing on the menu! If you don’t visit this place, you are missing out!!“

“My friend uses a walker and I am in a black boot on a knee scooter. The ladies working were so helpful bring our drinks and food to our table. Thank you ladies. Thank you to the gentleman who took the tray from me & threw our trash away.Parking: Handicap right in front of Verona and Burts.“

“My favorite local Mexican! And it's not like there are no options. This place is simple. You order at a bar similar to Qdoba or chipotle. I love their bowls and tacos best. But I've never had a bad meal here. It's always clean and there is plenty of dining space. If they have a weakness is in their hot sauces. They don't have anything that really hits the spot for me. But the queso is good and their chicken nachos are excellent! Give it a spin. I think you'll be happy.“

“My favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. Recently had surgery and was confined to home and had people bringing me meals from MT. Couldn't wait to be able to drive and first night, this is where I went!Staff is friendly, recognizing you when you walk in!Food is delicious and there is a good variety!Prices are reasonable for what you get!“

“I’m from out of town and this place is as authentic as the Mexican restaurants I go to in Chicago. From the atmosphere,the music,and their salsas made me feel back at home. It was hard finding a Mexican restaurant that was good out in this area most of them lack that real Mexican authentic taste. Waitress was extremely friendly as soon as me and my co-worker sat down she brought out chips and salsa(at no extra charge),she also brought out this home made salsa to go along with the chips that had a great taste. I ordered the 3 taco meal (1-chicken,1- Al pastor & 1-carnitas) with rice and beans but opted for double rice instead. The food came out very promptly and the meats tasted fresh,they didn’t taste like they sat all day in a pot. Both of their green and red salsa were amazing. They also use standard 6” tortillas not like some of these places in the area that sell you a 4” taco,that’s not a real taco. I also got a medium horchata that was very tasty and it complimented my food. I would most definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone in the mood for real Mexican food or anyone who knows real Mexican food you won’t be disappointed.“

“Small but mighty in flavor for both food and drinks The carne asada charo is nearly inexplicably good. Tender and a flavor explosion The orange colored medium salsa looks strange but you forget about that given the spice and in a few moments you just want to drink it The original margarita is a proper one with real lime juice. If you want a sweeter one opt for the house margarita Great family business serving up the best tacos. So simple, so fresh, so good so cal!“

“Went out for dinner around 7:30. Pretty busy on a Thursday night. Sat down at bar immediately by myself. Got chips and salsa and a drink fairly quickly. After that it took about 15 minutes for someone to come around again ( after I got their attention) to ask me for my food order / another drink. I got another drink and some more chips and waited for food, I got the steak tacos. They came out wrapped in tin foil? No cilantro and no onion. Kinda weird. So I had to ask for that and some limes as well. Rice and beans plate was piping hot. Anyways. Good meal food tasted really well just odd service at that time. Would recommend still.“

“Wonderful staff and amazing food, it's a step above local competitors. Price is get for the value provided and I had a phenomenal churro there. Tip your waiter, lots of options for cheap and expensive dining.Vegetarian options: There is a decent vegetarian menu with clear consideration for the vegetarians in our livesKid-friendliness: They were wonderful with my two autistic brothers and have a kids menu for picky eaters or just parents trying to save a buck.“

“The married husband and wife owners were amazing. They were very kind and accommodating. I like how they’re intentional with writing thank you notes, introducing me to their menu, and food served fresh to order. I received the taco Tuesday special, with an order of French fries. I don’t mind supporting this business again! Next time, I’ll request cheese on my tacos.Thank you ?“

“We had a late dinner over the wknd after a long day at vball tournament. We drove 20 min to get out of the city to hopefully avoid the vball crowd. It worked, not many people there. Our service was great and our delicious food arrived quickly. If ever passing through that area again, we will absolutely eat there again!“

“This is the best Mexican restaurant on the east side of the river. (Maybe on the west, but I don't get there that often.) Wed usually go for one of their lunch specials, but I have also tried a variety of dishes and have never had anything I haven't liked.“

“I was excited to try Fusion. On this visit I tried the Indian cuisine. It was pretty good overall. Otgers had the cheeseburgers and both said they were really good. The server could not have been sweeter. However, we waited quite a while for them to take our order. Drinks didn't come until the meal was served. Asked for additional chips and never did receive them. I would not hesitate to go again. Hopefully they were just short handed on this visit.“

“Went to El Guey for national margarita day. Pitcher of margarita was on point. 32 oz of deliciousness. Was able to mix flavors. Hat thr chicken fries. They were great. Service was a little slow but overall everything was great. Would reccomend this location.“

“Enjoyed a delicious meal here for lunch. Chips were light and crisp. Salsa was fresh and homemade and very flavorful.The tamales and enchiladas were fantastic! A limited menu but everything on it is wonderfully done. Big portions and so tasty.We will be back.“

“In a world where meaning is as fleeting as the foam on a wave, there lies a place where even that transient foam seems to crystallize into something almost tangible. La Fonda Restaurant, a speck on the vast, indifferent canvas of the universe, manages to capture a moment of culinary delight that borders on the absurd for its sheer audacity to exist and please. The Seafood Molcajete, a chaotic amalgam of marine life, succumbs to a harmony so profound that it mocks the very notion of discord. Each ingredient, seemingly insignificant on its own, unites in a symphony of flavors that challenges the palate's comprehension of pleasure. The Mexican guacamole, a simple concoction of crushed avocados and spices, transcends its humble origins. It stands as a testament to the beauty that can emerge from the most basic of elements, offering a fleeting reprieve from the inexorable march of time and the entropy it heralds. In the grand scheme, perhaps nothing matters. But within the walls of La Fonda, for a fleeting moment, the absurdity of seeking meaning in the void is forgotten, drowned in the depths of a molcajete and the simplicity of guacamole. Here, at least, there is flavor. And perhaps, in the end, that is enough.“

“Went here for a late dinner, best service ever. It was my first time and the employees were very patient with me! They were willing to explain different good items and ensured that I would like everything I ordered and I did! I’ll never eat chipotle or qdoba ever again ?“

“Stopped in here for some beers at the bar with friends. The place was a bit busy and they were very, very short staffed unfortunately. We waited longer than desired for things, but everyone was still very friendly. I would recommend, but cannot comment on the food.“

“Authentic Mexican cuisine! Ordered the queso, house margarita and the burrito grande. So yummy!! I was seated and serviced very quickly. The restaurant has cute decor and music at an enjoyable level. This will be added to my list of places to return to next time I am in Edwardsville.“

“I have been coming here on and off for the last few years and every time the experience is the same, genuine and on time. Apologies I don't have more to say about the food but my usual choice is the Aroz con pollo and al la carte burrito or tamales and I am usually satisfied for a couple meals. I will say each visit I enjoy the atmosphere, management, the staff, and my double shot of Don Julio. ¡Salud!“

“I'm not sure the name of the two girls working the line tonight (11-27) but every single time I go to this location and they're working, my food and service is immaculate. They both smile and have such polite manners, but more importantly my order comes out perfectly everytime they are involved. Especially with the portions, it's always the perfect amount and everything spread out evenly. Can't say enough good things about either of them.“
