12 Best Mexican Restaurants in Syracuse

“We went on a really busy Friday night and they were able to seat us very quickly. The service was pretty good for how slammed they were. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, this is not your place. I rate the food 6.6/10. Slightly elevated Mexican American. Overall not a bad place to go. I would eat here again.

Kid-friendliness: There were TONS of kids when I was there

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s all one level. Ground floor“

“Excellent food. Meats and sauces are so flavorful and delicious. Even the rice and beans have a little something extra. Dishes are well portioned and fresh made. Tortilla chips and homemade sauce are perfect starters. The flan and ice cream are excellent ways to end the meal. Can’t wait till next time to try the specials!“

“It was fantastic as always!“

“I really enjoy walking into an independently owned establishment that serves good, hearty food and knows what they're good at.

I ordered a chicken quesadilla with everything on it. There was a good sized line but the gentleman who helped me didn't rush or show any signs of hurrying. That was greatly appreciated. Also, the people in line didn't seem to mind the wait, probably because they knew the food was worth it!

My quesadilla was thick and properly toasted. A little char on the edges, crispy and folded to perfection. I was in the restaurant for less than 10 minutes.

I'm looking forward to my next visit for sure. I want to try the pulled pork!

Parking: More than enough space to accommodate a busy lunch hour. Even if the lot is full, Street parking is readily available right next to the establishment.“

“Slightly star struck 🤩 as we just met the woman behind ElleRae’s Tacos. My family loves the quesadillas and the tacos—which bring us straight back to the San Francisco Yay Areaaaa when we dig in! (Great food and great service: everyone we’ve dealt with here has been wonderful, and tonight I misread the sign and only later realized it’s ElleRae, like “El Rey,” rather than Ellarae, but the owner was very gracious about my mispronunciation.)“

“Always great food, great service, and generous portions for your money. Literally unbeatable. I've always felt welcome and the staff is very kind and friendly. The dining area isn't the biggest but that really doesn't matter when you come to this spot for some of the best food in town. I highly recommend it!“

“Took hubby for birthday dinner in a blinding snowstorm from Moravia..was worth the white knuckles. Great atmosphere Megan( Red) made us welcome and got our drinks.

“Amazing wings, tons of flavors. Great atmosphere, no complaints! What more could you ask for ?! We will be back.“

“Great hidden gem in Tipp Hill! Check the bar’s Instagram page first, the menu changes a bit from time to time… but that’s what I like! Always spotting different things to try, Dennis is great. Very nice, hard working, and always cares about his customers. Steves is on my short list of places to get great food in Syracuse.“
