32 Best Mexican Restaurants near Westlake

“This place is always great. My wife and I eat there often. Probably too often. The staff treats us like family, and really make us feel like we're important. They treat everyone great here. If you haven't been here, I feel bad for you. Go there, and enjoy. Thank me later.Kid-friendliness: They love to see the little ones. They have a way of making kids smile.“

“Very spacious restaurant with tasty food. The tortilla soup served on the side is a must! The pollo platter with grilled chicken breast and shrimp, veggies on the side was amazing. We got an eggplant dish that didn't taste properly cooked unfortunately, with eggplant remaining hard. The enchiladas were also pretty good and you can customize for vegetarian options. Hard shelled taco that came with the enchilada was absolutely amazing. Service was great, our server gave great tips as she noted she has been here for 20 years! It is pretty cold inside, perhaps because there were many ceiling fans running - we turned the one closest to us off and felt warmer. Some of the plates were chipped, though server ensured we got proper replacements. Worth a visit for sure.“

“Restaurant is clean and well spread out so you don’t feel like you’re sitting on top of other people. The art work is beautiful! The service was wonderful, I wish I would have gotten our servers name. The food was delicious!!! We will be going back!“

“The food truck was good but the restaurant is amazing. Service 10/10, food 10/10 and atmosphere is beautiful. The food was phenomenal and I will be back. Came in for a late lunch/ early dinner and we are so happy we did. The owner is so sweet and our server was super friendly and always with a smile ? Thanks Orinoco Restaurant !!“

“Absolutely wonderful place to go! We went there 3 times while on vacation and every time was pleasant and peaceful! We will definitely come back to this place many more times on our travels as long as they're open!Kid-friendliness: They loved my children and didn't change the way they served us just because we had kids! If anything, they were more attentive to their needs than we could have asked for!“

“Look how cool this place is! What a refreshing surprise on our trip from San Diego to Florida and back. Compliments to the owner for creating a fun, artistic, comfortable and uplifting atmosphere. The food is excellent and the service is southern-style sweet. Honestly, this restraunt should be featured on one of the food-channel shows that highlights amazing restraunts in the US. To the owner / manager / designer / staff - cudos! You should be proud of your work!“

“They were only serving their brunch menu but we got the boudin balls, crab cakes & shrimp cocktail. I have high standards for sea food and it was all great. The boudin was the best we had on our trip. They had live music playing who was also super great & added to a good atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“We were in town from Houston & I was craving breakfast tacos. (The ones they were serving in our hotel’s restaurant weren’t it!) We found this little place in a gas station turned restaurant. Perfectly authentic breakfast tacos! The hand made flour tortillas were SO good. The tacos were large & very filling. Loved the salsa verde: not too spicy but had a nice little kick to it. 10 out of 10, I’d eat here again!“

“10/10!!! New Favorite! We just ate here for the 2nd time (two days apart from each other because we were so satisfied). *We were greeted with smiling faces and the wait staff was top notch. *Clean restaurant with nice outdoor dining option, too. We sat inside for our first visit. The second visit we enjoyed the beautiful day and sat outside. *The chips were delicious, but nothing beats their WARM salsa!! *The Cool Cucumber Rita is now my new favorite drink EVER! It has the perfect refreshing taste without an overpowering sweet taste and just the right subtle flavor of cucumber and mint. PLEASE don’t ever change the recipe to this drink!! * The food was delicious and FRESH — it did not taste as though it was just passed through a heated oven on the plate. My favorite so far is the Camaron Taco (shrimp taco). It has the most delicious sauce on it. My shredded chicken fajita burrito was also very delicious with lots of meat and delicious fresh veggies. Although I didn’t try the beans and rice myself, those that were with me complimented how delicious they were and didn’t taste like the typical Mexican restaurants. I just hope that this place keeps everything fresh, clean, and top notch!! We will definitely be back!“

“Good selection of food with each item being as flavorful as the last. Queso is really good too. Slightly expensive, I would like to see more promotional sales like Taco Tuesday or something. Also the Tractor fruit juice drinks are really good, the strawberry dragonfruit is my favorite.“

“Stopped on a Sunday traveling home from Galveston to Florida after a cruise. Service was great, pleasant and fast. Food was delicious and plentiful. Ambiance was family friendly and fairly quiet. We had a nice time and enjoyed our meal. We will be back again if we are in this area again.“

“Amazing place and delicious food. We ordered the cup of menudo and it’s bigger than most places and flavor spot on 10/10. Green chicken enchiladas 10/10, street tacos 10/10 and a lot of meat. Also ordered cantaritos super refreshing and delicious. Next time we are in town will definitely come “

“i am VERY intollerant to red chili powder add ins. (popeyes educated) i ordered enchiladas, expect my usual indigestion issues later. no lies. from first bite to the last. i knew if i had indigestion, it wouldn't be bad. But. only one reminder showed up, next morning. i have a new enchilada spot that doesnt bring regret.“

“Really cute spot with Loteria theme decor and great food! Ordered some tacos and a fajita platter. Food came out quickly from the kitchen. Tacos had a good amount of meat and the fajita had a nice grilled taste.Kid-friendliness: Baby changing table available“

“I had the Enchiladas Supreme. One Chicken, one beef, one bean, and one cheese. Beef was great, bean was great, cheese was good. The chicken was INCREDIBLE! I don't like chicken but this place will definitely see more of me. And I will be ordering the chicken Enchiladas from here on out!!“

“I've eaten here twice. Both times, I was seated right away and the service was good. I have tried the Burrito Mexicano with Pork, the Enchiladas Rancheras, the Churros and the Cheesecake Chimichanga. -Burrito Mexicano: This was just so-so. It seemed hastily thrown together, but in the kitchen's defense, it was almost quitting time when we ordered. I wouldn't order it again. -Enchiladas Rancheras: I ordered one enchilada covered with Beef and the other covered with Pork. The sauce was also well done and both meats were cooked well with a nice sear and browning, but I enjoyed the Pork just a little more and would get both covered with Pork next time. This dish was excellent and I would definitely order it again. -Churros: These weren't that great. I would not order again. They were kinda chewy. -Cheesecake Chimichanga: This was huge, but wasn't that great. I decided I must prefer my cheesecake cold. I wouldn't order it again. -Flan: My boyfriend ordered the Flan on his first visit and liked it so much, he ordered it again on the second visit. I'm not a fan of Flan, but I think it was well done.“

“I am so sorry people but I can sit there and tell you that this place for Mexican food is the Bomb. It's not spicy it's not too salty it is just good I love this place especially the mixture of the veggies with the meat together it's just awesome“

“Taco Mel? Tacos Buenos! It does not look like much when you look at it from the outside. You could probably just expect it to be another average small taqueria chain that gets 2 customers a month. But I can assure you, these tacos were muy perfecto. My family and I ordered 3 chicken tacos, tortilla chips, and a chicken quesadilla, which is extremely hard to screw up. The lady at the cashier was nice and speedy. We waited for a good 7 minutes. They didn't screw it up, they didn't even make it good, they made them excellent! The chicken and cheese mashed together made for a duo that was muy delicioso. The salsa on the chips danced in my mouth like a group of dancers practicing the salsa. The tortilla for both the quesadilla and tacos were fresh and did not disappoint. There is a ingredient bar where you can put on your own components so you can enhance the flavor of your tacos. It wasn't until after I was done eating that I noticed that the floor and tables weren't clean, they were removed of every single germ, they were spotless, pristine, even. I recommend trying out this taqueria, because it will make your tastebuds do the tango!“

“My fiancé and I had lunch here today and it was a great experience. Both salsas (green and red) were so yummy. I got the street tacos which came with 5 tacos. 3 of which I got chicken and two El pastor, and my fiancé got the fajita burrito. Both were so amazing and fresh. Our waitress, Sky, was a doll. She was very informative, sweet, and efficient. Definitely worth a try!!“

“My wife and I went to get a couple of frozen margarita's tonight. Service was awesome from Kaitlyn Ashworth (amazingly not relation to Charley). She might be our favorite Ashworth since we lost our other favorite Ashworth!!!! Thanks for keeping our chip basket full, we appreciate it.“

“I got to experience this little restaurant with my daughter and my granddaughter. The atmosphere was so friendly and family-oriented, I really like the place when we walked in. I don't recall what my granddaughter got, but she liked it. My daughter got a platter with a chimichanga, a burrito, and a quesadilla. Plate was full. I ordered what I thought was going to be a chicken straight taco, and I was not disappointed! It was a regular sized taco, with plenty of chicken on it. I asked If they might have some spicy or salsa, and our server brought out a little bowl of the tastiest smoky salsa I've ever eaten. It was nicely spicy, not too little, not too much. Just the right amount of spice for the smokiness of the salsa. We had plenty of food, and my daughter was able to take home most of her meal. Our server was great, she never even had a notepad. She just memorized our order, and I don't know how many others. Lovely young lady.I see below that I could take pictures and add, but I was too busy stuffing my face at the time. Didn't even think about it.Parking: There was plenty of parking for the size of the building.Kid-friendliness: We saw several families there, and they seem to be enjoying themselves.Wheelchair accessibility: The building is on the ground, wheelchair access is very easy.“

“I had a excellent server at the bar. Abby was always on the move and didn't miss anything grate service with a smile. My food was out in no time even though it was packed. The place was a little cold and the TVs could have had something a little better over all 5 out of 5.“

“Moderately bussing food for moderately expensive price. Our waiter was so nice. And we had to ask for green sauce because. They brought us complimentary birthday and sing a song. Sorry, I'm getting sidetracked. Back to what I was saying, baba yaga came and swallowed the entire restaurant whole. As I was eating my fajitas, I stared in horror. Anyways, we asked her politely if she could drop us back off at the hotel. She did. If you are scared of folktales, do not go here.“

“Rosita's 2 has the best birria tacos in lake Charles. That's a bold statement, there are WAY too many Mexican restaurants in LC, but I'll stand by my statement. I would HIGHLY recommend going and getting them. They also have a full list of different types of street taco meats (lengua) if u're looking for something other than steak/chicken. My point is this is the real deal. This is Mexican, not drowned in queso TexMex, which is WAY better in my opinion. When you want to satisfy your Mexican hankering and want the best calcasieu parish has to offer go to Rosita's in Sulphur or Rosita's 2 in Lake Charles. You won't regret it, and you're welcome in advance!“

“Went to a bithday party there Sat. night and there ended up being 60 people in the group. We had 1 waiter Antonio that took all our orders, and everyones was correct. Then he had to do seperate tickets and everyone of the tickets were correct. We were in and out in 2 hours. Amazing job Antonio and the ones that kept rhe chips, salsa and drinks coming. Great food and great service. Great job - thanks for making this an enjoyable event. Darlene“

“The atmosphere and food was fantastic. My father and I took full advantage on their happy hour deal which takes place between 2 and 6 daily. The service and bar was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our whole 2 week stay. Shout to these particular staff members Lailar, Blake, Joshua and Vegea, for making our stay amazing and opening up the outside for the superbowl.“

“First off their food is DELICIOUS. everything I've ordered from here has Ben amazing. Tonight we ordered from them via door dash. We had an item missing form the order and they had already closed. My husband suggested to call and I was hesitant. He called for me and they were happy to make the item that was missing for us. Major kudos for answering after closing, and more for helping us out!“

“Where are all the recent FB reviews about your tamales and service. I only see 1 or 2 recent reviews about their tamales??!! All other reviews are several years old!! Were they hidden or deleted? I will leave one: I just bought a dozen tamales and the elderly man was not pleasant. He was rude. He threw my tamales in a plastic bag and when I grabbed it, it was so hot I almost dropped it. He literally put the tamales in a plastic bag and not in a cardboard or a paper plate. Just a loose bag. I will not be back. The tamales may be good, (but his attitude and service was very poor to say the least. The“

“We had 12 in our group and arrived about 2 hours before they closed. They were VERY nice, and our order was done fairly quickly. Our waiter was very attentive and excellent at his job! The food is not the very best but will try them again earlier in the evening to see if it's an improvement. Salsa is delicious!!!“
