Restaurantji unveils Winston-Salem's must-visit Mexican dining spots. Experience the city's best with Chips and Salsa, Taco Salad, Quesadilla, and more.
“Great location and convenient to Benton Convention Center and nearby Marriott and Embassy Suites. Food was excellent. No natural light penetrates indoors so you feel like you’ve entered a cave or perhaps a Mayan temple? Hmmm. The low, black painted ceiling and dark furniture contributes to the cavernous atmosphere but it didn’t deter from the great food.“
“My opinion of the cilantro truck is that the food is delicious and has a very good flavor, the friendliness and charisma is incredible. God bless this business always ❤️Parking: Ample parking I like it because they serve you quickly and your food is fresh of the day“
“Pancho Villa was the best Mexican restaurant I've ever eaten at. The service is 5 star, the food 5 star and the atmosphere was 5 star. Food took no time to get to our table and was delicious. They even offer lunch specials on Saturdays! If you are in the mood for Mexican cuisine and want an experience that will exceed all expectations, please visit Pancho Villa. You will not be disappointed.“
“Loved the food I tried Sopes with carne asada they were perfectly cooked. Also tried a birria quesadilla and man was it delicious, the tortilla was homemade I likedit some much I got two full orders to go. My f friends of husband also tried the Carne Asada and he said it was really good better than the usual Mexican restaurant him and his wife is visit. The inside of the restaurant is cozy the time of day we went. If you’re reading this review and wondering if you should go do it you won’t regret.“
“There are so many 5-star reviews for this food truck that I had to try it. We got take-home dinner after bringing my granddaughters for an afternoon at Hanes Park. My daughter got the birria tacos and concurred with all the reviews. She said they were the best birria tacos she ever had. I had chicken quesadilla, which was served with a healthy portion of delicious yellow rice. The quesadilla was improved by avocado slices I requested on the side. Guacamole would have been even better, but they don't serve it. I also enjoyed a large cup of delicious horchata while waiting for the food to be ready. My 13-year-old granddaughter had a chicken wrap, half of which she ate with relish. Then she irritated her little sister by stealing the fries that came with the little one's burger, a burger nearly the size of the 6-year-old's head. Everything was extremely tasty. The portions are generous, the server was friendly, and the prices are reasonable. I cannot give them 5 stars, though. We had to wait a while for the food, and this truck that produces the great food sits in the very seedy parking lot of a gas station. So go and pick up a wonderful dinner for the family, but don't be expecting a 5-star dining experience.“
“I love the food from this trailer, they have an undoubted flavor of ✨️Mexico✨️They usually serve very coarse dishes (but only when the owner is serving ?☝?) still, highly recommended. Besides, it doesn't take them that long to give you your order;)“
“This place is severely mid leading from the outside because the food is absolutely delicious! I judge a Mexican restaurant by their rice and beans and although those were delicious along with everything else. Not to mention the margs had a very heavy poor ? will be returning.Oh also ask for the green salsa verde for the chips.“
“This taqueria deserves the most stable review. The management is so comfortable and the atmosphere is so appreciated. They have so many options to choose from and they stock many drinks that are delicious even for those non-alcoholically. But if you want a bar they supplly many options. Plus the menu is very diverse!“
“This is a buffet style restaurantWhere you order the food in bulk. This is not an eat-in establishment. You order by the pound. Everything is made fresh. You can see them preparing their tortillas. The prices are reasonable and the food is real authentic Mexican cuisines. This is the place go if you want feed a family or 5+ people. Highly recommend!“
“Stopped in for dinner for a quick bite based off other online reviews, glad we did.Essentially this is a dive restaurant with a fair sized menu of great Hispanic food.The atmosphere is good, has some inside seating to sit and eat but I noticed lots of to go orders. Staff was super nice and conscious to check on you even though this is not a table side service restaurant other than bringing your food.Food was great, authentic and portion sizes were fair to good. Prices were a bit on the higher side, but the food was worth it. Their bottled sodas my wife and daughter enjoyed, similar to what they had in Barcelona this past summer.Highly recommend checking this place out, definitely a top 2 for a taqueria restaurant in the Greensboro/Winston Salem area.Parking: Parking is very limited, only has space for about 6 cars.“
“First of all... the people who are serving are so kind and sweet. It feels like you've gone over to a friend's house. The food was delicious and care was taken in the presentation. I love it here and look forward to coming back. The flan is must!!!“
“Endless chips makes me happy.Vegetarian options: There’s enough I guessParking: Parking spaces are usually adequate.Kid-friendliness: There’s a kids menu, and you can get the staff to sing Spanish happy birthday sometimes.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs here“
“Back on this side of town again, so I decided to try this taco spot. This is a small place but the rather plain seating seems adequate. The interior is clean and colorful.I chose to try the Chorizo Tacos. They were busy, even before 11AM and it took over 20 minutes to get my order. This little spot was busy and noisy, not a relaxing wait for my food choice - much different than the atmosphere at it's down the street neighbor, El Rancho! Don't think I would choose to dine in here when busy.Now to the food - these Chorizo Tacos were outstanding, layers of deep flavor taken even higher by the sauces that accompanied them. The red pepper sauce will get your attention and hold it! The Verde sauce is milder for sure but has the required tartness.The tacos cost $2.44 each and the 12oz can of Coke was $1.25 - rather inexpensive quick lunch!This is yet another taqueria in the area that I'll revisit - for the Menudo, Carnitas, and the Birria Tacos for sure.“
“Great authentic Mexican comida! I got a liquid Marijuana and a pizza burria plate that was so yummy! My hubby and daughter got the nacho burria plate and could only eat half, it was so fulfilling! Staff was great, atmosphere was mellow and inviting..we will be back!“
“Labor has Flavor!We stopped in for lunch and were pleasantly surprised. My companion usually gets a taco salad in a fried tortilla and was disappointed at the size but immediately impressed by the taste and layers compared to his usual place. I tried the Cuban bowl as I wanted gluten and dairy free, and the beef was tender with milder spice than the chicken. A cooked plantain split the meat from two kinds of rice with some black beans nested above the plantain.A trip to the Salsa bar had me trying Green Monster and Pineapple Habanero; the pineapple won me over and made me sweat.Dietary restrictions: The menu does list the items that can be Vegetarian, Dairy Free or Gluten-free. That brings choices down but still more than two.“
“In La Tili there is very good food, you can find the best tacos, broths, and handmade tortillas. The bread is delicious, I'm going to keep going, and I honestly would recommend it. The attention of the waitresses is excellent, I have no complaints, that's why I gave them 5 stars, keep going and God bless you!?“
“The food was absolutely fantastic. I had quesabirria (lamb in a grilled taco shell with a delicious dipping broth). They accommodated my request for extra vegetables and added peppers, mushrooms, yellow squash, sides of cactus, delicious beans and guacamole salad. Very good homemade salsa and fresh corn chips. Very friendly, polite staff. Restaurant is clean and has a pleasant atmosphere. Will be back soon.Dietary restrictions: They are very nice about cooking to order.“
“Great place to relax and eat with friends and family. I told my waiter I was on a keto diet, so he told me what we could do. I ordered the steak and muxed vegetables. That is not a meal on the menu. They made it special for me. They will do the sane if you ask them to do so.Dietary restrictions: Keto and vegetarian available“

“(Translated by Google) At last! A place with authentic Mexican food. We ordered Tacos, Sopes and our favorite Huarache. This is the fourth time we have eaten here, and the food is always fresh and flavorful. Highly recommended.(Original)Por fin! Un lugar con comida auténtica de Mexico. Ordenamos Tacos, Sopes y nuestro favorito Huarache. Es la cuarta vez que comimos aquí, y la comida siempre está fresca y con buen sazón. Altamente recomendado.“
“Playa Azul delivers a fantastic dining experience! Delicious food, a charming atmosphere, and exceptional service make it a must-visit. The waiter's expertise added to the enjoyment, especially with the fantastic Birria Tacos. Just watch out for the fiery red sauce; the green is a winner! The ACP with shrimp is also highly recommended.“
“We love this place as our local spot for margaritas and yummy food. It provides gf options for my spouse and great options when we bring the kids. Always a great experience!Kid-friendliness: Great kid’s mealsDietary restrictions: Lots of great options for gluten free folks“
“The food delicious! ASAP you should come back! Mexicanos will love the Best taco place in history!!!!! Especially the nachos!Kid-friendliness: Sòooooooo kid friendly! 1 child and he wanted to come back so bad. He even hugged one of the waiters!“
“I've been working in Winston Salem for a couple of months now and I drive back and forth past this place and I've never went in, BUT I went in last night and JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL was I blown away lol. Never did I expect this to be a Mexican restaurant. It was bursting with energy when i got inside. The music was playing, and people were singing it was just a total vibe. I looked over the menu and picked what I thought looked the best to me, and I waited, ? when my server put my food in front of me, my eyes lit up. It was visually beautiful. And then it tasted soooooooooooo good. I was blown away by just the different flavors, and everything worked together. I will be back in here multiple times trying everything on the menu A++++++“
“Second time stopping here. First time I had carne asada tacos, which were very good. Today, I tried the chicken flautas. Nice and crispy! Very generous portions and the food is very fresh. Friendly and welcoming. I'll be going back again soon.“
“Came by to check it out, as my niece recommended the place... I was not disappointed!!! The meat department has some of the freshest meats, and great for a "Carne Ranchera Day". We will continue to purchase from this location, and have referred several friends and family, when they feel like making some good and authentic Mexican meals.“
“I work locally in the area and always went to the "other" Mexican restaurant. A co-worker and myself wanted to try something different and found this spot. The first thing I noticed was how clean the restaurant and store are. We ordered several different options to try and were extremely impressed with all of them! I highly recommend the sopas and obviously the tacos. The chorizo is great! Needless to say, this is now our new spot for Mexican food!“
“My new favorite Mexican Restaurant in the Jonestown area! Services, food and drinks are always always always good! I definitely recommend the Carnitas Nachos, super filling and so freaking good, we get it all the time! The top shelf margarita pitchers are perfect with any flavor and always have you feeling the way a mixed drink is supposed to make you feel! Lol. Each menu item that I have had so far has been top notch! I highly recommend this place!!“
“I have driven by this place for years and never stopped by. Today, that all changed. My wife and I stopped here for a later lunch, but they were hopping. I ordered the Tacos al Pastor and my wife had the carne asada quesadillas. Both were absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back!“
“Great burritos and the sides are absolutely delicious.. those chorizo beans call for me every time. The margaritas are also quite delicious .They have seating out back and seating inside for multiple options.It can def get a bit pricy depending, but the food is def worth it!Parking: In the academy sports area so there is plenty of parking!“
“One more of those one time visits for me never again, how hard is it to make a taco and a torta , ya'll ain't missing anything here I found out can't find a good taco place in Winston anymore , if ya'll have a spot let me know I'll try it " one time ".“
“We LOVE Mi Pueblo on Stratford Rd! Our company has been having group meetings there every first Saturday monthly since January 2023. The Manager, Angel, is accommodating, friendly and professional. Erin, our number one waitress, is exceptional. She is efficient, professional, and super friendly. On top of amazing management and service, the food is always delicious. Great location, staff, food, and meeting room. Like I said, we LOVE Mi Pueblo.“
“The food is very delicious. But holy moly the prices are a bit of a stretch. 5$ for a large glass of horchata, that kind of tastes like Klass mix. If you know you know. 12$ for a torta Cubano and not sure how much the tacos de lengua cost. But for 2 of us w/1 small horchata and 1 large horchata. Plus those two meals, it came up to 45$ before tip. A lil pricey for these dishes imo. Just because I’m a gringo doesn’t mean I know that’s steep in regards to how much the ingredients truly costs. I will say I do love their hot sauce combos, and so this guero is definitely gonna be back, I’m just gonna bring my own horchata this time.“
“Really great restaurant. We came after visiting the Kalaideum. They have a great deal for kids eat free. We have a part of 12 and they were very accommodating. Professional and cleaned up immediately when our children made a mess of the place. Can't recommend enough. Our family will return.“
“Excellent food, great selection, clean restaurant, nice staff,great value & the portions are large. Definitely get you're money's worth @ the Ranch o. I Just wish they would open one in Greensboro. Anytime I'm working in Winston I will try to have lunch there.“
“A regular favorite and dlways tasty! I usually judge restaurants on how they make simple things like cheese enchiladas, rice and beans and if I can eat anything as a pescatarian. If you can't get the basics right, I have little hope for more involved dishes. The only knock I'd have to give is for the tortilla chips - they always seem a bit stale compared to other places nearby.“
“Ok they changed locations to one store over. It killed my Mexican store vibe and now my crowd is a bit different, but still great. And now I get warm chips.Tacos, tortas and homemade salsas are pretty good. It's not cart in Mexico good but close and no risk of Montezuma's revenge.I hesitate to give this review cause I don't need you crowding up my booth but it's amazing!“
