10 Best Mexican Restaurants near Lake Ozark

“This Sergio's has the best food by far but the one server is the worst. We will be visiting other locations from here on. We've had him the last 4 visit never checks on table untill food is gone doesn't refill chips or salsa.“

“Look.... I'm just gonna say it.... the other Lil local Mexican place that I thought was so good, lost a regular customer after tasting the food here at Manuel's! No comparison!!! This little place here has the best salsa and queso fundito I've ever had!!!!“

“Mexican born, this is TOP 5 Mexican spots I have ever been to in my life. TACOS AL PASTOR are the winner. Staff is super friendly and helpful! We always eat here when in Osage Beach. Just as a heads up the restaurant is very tiny with 3 tables inside that seat 4/4/2. If you have a larger party I would recommend takeout or be prepared to sit separately. Gracias por el servicio espectacular! Nos encanta visitar.“

“The salsa was so good with hot fresh chips !! The fajitas were yummy, every dish we ordered was exceptional, even the kids meals. Server was considerate, and knew what to suggest. Definitely will returnKid-friendliness: Nice variety of options for kids, and for $2.00 more adults can make it a senior meal . Kids drinks come in cups with lids!!“

“We came in with a group of 8 and got seated right away. I'm not sure if they were short staffed or just were really busy (we couldn't see into the other room). It took a few minutes for them to get us drinks and chips. Some of us had more patience than others. But once we ordered, it was worth the wait. I absolutely judge a Mexican restaurant on their chips and salsa--the salsa was perfectly balanced and the chips were thin and crispy. All the members in our party commented on the chips and salsa. The lunch portions were perfect. My husband and I both ordered enchiladas, and they were delicious! He says the ground beef one was better than the shredded chicken. I had chicken, but the verde sauce was a nice addition on top. All in all, we would eat here again. It was delicious!“

“The place was fine...nothing special about the decor or anything. Their salsa was a bit bland, but our meals were DELICIOUS!!! I do think the prices are on the higher side for Mexican cuisine in the area. Overall, I would recommend to others.“

“Absolutely amazing! The cheese dip was thick yet delicious. I ordered the huarache and a strawberry margarita, my honey ordered the el pastor street tacos and a Mexican Coke.I am normally not an adventurous person, but everything was phenomenal! My honey said they have the best el pastor street tacos he has ever had!“

“As a local here year round this is our go to for great Mexican food. The staff is always very friendly and charismatic.Kid-friendliness: The kid's menu has a few options as does any restaurant. But the staff always makes sure my child is included with the ordering process and they always have a smile.“

“Friendly service, clean, and the food was excellent.Dietary restrictions: I am limited on what and how much I can eat due to bariatric surgery. We asked for an extra plate so we could share the meal. No complaint from the staff, no extra charge, complete understanding. We will make this a regular stop.“

“The food was absolutely delicious! I had the Veg2 (I think that's what it's called,) with steak. Oh so good. Maybe a little pricey for lunch size portion. We also ordered white cheese dip. Best I've ever eaten. Salsa great!“
