50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Amarillo

“First time trying out this beautiful restaurant the food was amazing and the service was impeccable... the food presentation was perfect . We are out from.out of town .. and spotted this place loved it A PLUS... thank you for giving us a great experience“

“We are always quick to complain but neglect giving credit when it is due. We love the Plaza and food, but nobody is perfect. We had an out-of-town guest who'd never eaten at the Plaza, so of course with our rave reviews we had to get takeout. The person who took our order was obviously in a hurry but did correctly repeat our order. We picked it up and on arriving home our guest did not get what was ordered. Disappointedly I called and "Tony" answered the phone. The result being Tony gave us a credit for what we should of had on our next order. We used it promptly a night later and all went well and was delicious. We want to tip our hat to Tony for handling this situation so well and maintaining our business while gaining a new customer. The Plaza is fortunate to have such a fine and credible employee!!“

“Ohmygoodness! We had lunch here today and it was beyond amazing! I chose Asada Tacos (they were incredible; salsa and rice were incredible as well!) and Bill chose Chicken Fried Steak and House Made potato’s with a salad (his chicken fried steak was perfect; the potatoes were dreamy, and the salad was way beyond what most restaurants serve as salad…I believe it actually had fresh spinach in it!) We met the new owner and had a great visit! We will definitely be back soon, and I hope it’s for breakfast because the offerings look and sound delicious!“

“Disappointed in my favorite go to place when I am in Amarillo I did the drive through for the first time. Called in the order. Not good. Threw my burrito away. Thought my fault for not just going in. Yesterday in Amarillo Got the edible salad Lettuce was not even chilled. It was room temp. Ruined the whole salad. Bought a large container of the spicy ranch and a big bad of chips. When I got home and sat down to enjoy the spicy ranch and chips the Spicy Ranch was like water! So disappointed, please don’t start going downhill. I love y’all’s food. Keep your quality. It’s definitely having a few issues“

“We love this food truck!! It has great food and prices. Highly recommend! Glad they are open on some evenings now too!!“

“Driving back home to Austin from being in Colorado for a week and we had a serious hankering for Tex Mex food. La Frontera did not disappoint. As an aficionado of carne guisada, I had to try theirs. It was spot on and worth going full gordito! I'm definitely going back.“

“David’s is my favorite place to eat on a Friday love there wait staff. So highly recommended.“

“We love this place! The burritos are amazing and remind us of the food we miss from many, many years serving stationed in CA. They have the best Mexican food and it was really difficult finding anything remotely relatable. Good Day Burritos has been a close match! You also won’t find a more friendlier place. The owner and his staff are truly the best!“

“🌮 Ethan Boren, Braelei Richburg & I would like to thank Tacos Guadalajara for their fabulous catering service for Braelei's Graduation dinner. The food, preparations and pricing were perfect for such a large gathering. The tacos, rice, charro beans, salsa everything was a HUGE hit by all who attended lastnights celebration. A great family operated business with professional friendly service! Everyone needs to give them a try! Located at 818 Martin Rd in Amarillo! Just look for the big Tacos Guadalajara food truck 🛻“

“We love going to eat there! The food is always so fresh and delicious!!we have never been dissatisfied. And the service is awesome. You need to try it, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Great evening. Will be going back. Food was amazing.“

“This place is legit. A must stop for quality food. I've been wanting to try torta ahogada for years and this was masterfully prepared. Crispy pork drowned in a flavorful sauce with a nice Árbol sauce. I'm in love with this dish and they set the bar high. The Birria tacos were on point with excellent flavor.
Service was fantastic. This is a popular place that the locals go to and for good reason.“

“We have eaten here for many years. Great food, great staff.“

“I was able to get corn tortillas instead of flour and no cheese on tacos.“

“Love the food, but they could work on customer service. I would have tipped but I couldn’t even say my order without being interrupted 5 times.“

“Tengo 12 años viviendo aquí en amarillo y hacen los mejores montados que eh probado aquí. Muy buen servicio y muy deliciosa la comida. 100% recomendado 🔥“

“best ceviche in amarillo by far“

“I ordered the barbacoa burrito with mild hot sauce and lime, it’s very good and flavorful. I’m from out of town and have been here a year now. Good Mexican food is hard to come by here. They did a very good job!“

“Excellent ! A hidden gem. Try the Birria tacos they are so good. Salsa is spicy but great flavor.“

“I missed my home in Los Angeles and all the delicious food! This place takes me back!! The pollo asado is lit!! The carne asada is delish and the flautas are sooo yummy! I’m addicted to their frijoles de olla! They’re like my abuela’s. The rice is also tasty and moist. Love the fresh salsa and toppings bar!! The only reason I don’t go more often is due to inflation. But I’m a patron for life!!!“

“Food and service is always amazing“

“Today, 10/31/2025, at opening time (10:30am). We were in the area and decided to try. We used to go to the one by our house in CA so we havent had Qdoba in a while so we had brunch here. We were the only ones at the store at that time. And it just so happened that they had a BOGO promotion for Halloween! So I got two steak bowls, no beans, extra rice. One with regular queso and one with spicy. One without corn and one with corn. Both with green salsa and all of the veggies and cheese and sour cream and best of all... GUACAMOLE INCLUDED!!! to get the BOGO, you have to get one drink. Then I also availed the Make it a meal (get a drink and chips & queso) for $3.95! And FREE tortillas too! And I just paid $20.30! Since we're the only ones there, one of the employees came by and asked if my boys can have donuts and of course I said yes! and she gave them donuts!

So there you go... 5/5 rating for food and service!

Will be back with just the hubby next time. 😁“

“We picked up tamales yesterday for a family gathering and they were amazing. We got the chicken with green chilies and the pork. They were fresh and so good!“

“I went at lunch and it was NOT busy at all. The waitress was very nice and helpful. The food was great. The venue is not as big as some of the other Braceros restaurants in town but still very good. I loved all the decorations in the restaurant!“

“This was an amazing experience, we showed up 20 minutes till close and the amazing man Zack at the bar did not hesitate to help us, and on top of that he made me the most amazing drink and what’s even better he’s keeping his best friend alive by telling his story and bartending in his memory! Truly amazing guy and I will be coming back solely because of this man.“

“Good service. Delicious food. Lots to choose from a Large menu.“

“Was my first time going and the lady behind the register help me alot. Each taco or burrito costs about $5 but they're really good and stuffed like crazy. I ordered 2 and was satisfied.
Its like fast food restaurants but doesnt taste like fast food. You go to the register order before you sit down and then they bring you your food. Will be going again.“

“Was just passing through on our way back to Colorado and stopped because of reviews. By the traffic, this place is a local favorite.

Very, very good. Everything from the chips and salsas, guacamole, barbacoa and carne asada burritos, and the horchata was delicious. Was disappointed in ourselves for not getting another burrito to share.“

“Los mejores tacos de Amarillo sin duda y el flaco con el mejor servicio siempre al 100 se puso wuapo con un consome gratis mientras esperaba mis tacos“

“My parents came here for years and I never did before until last year and I've been going since every week on a Monday morning at 6 a m. My favorite dish is the chicken red sauce enchiladas.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs to deal with.“

“Highly recommend this place. The service is always amazing as is the food. It does seem like they tone down the spice sometimes though, but I’m sure some people appreciate that.

I got the barbacoa tacos for the first time today and I highly recommend. They’re not the fattier type of meat that I expected but they were still extremely tender and well seasoned. Maybe could’ve used a bit more spice so I’ll probably ask for that next time.“

“Good Mexican seasoning, spicy but delicious. You can breathe the family atmosphere. Coffee with cinnamon is like being in the mountains. Fast and hygienic service. If you try the corn tortillas, you'll even order them to go (they come in a dozen).“

“Best elote in amarillo. ?? Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quick snack :) If you aren't big on spicy things, make sure to ask for the chile on the side. Would recommend adding a small amounts of chile and working your way up to your spice tolerance“

“I have to be honest... The Taco Truck is better than the restaurant. Not disrespecting Mrs. Ramirez, but her son can cook. My only complaint is, the food at the restaurant needs more flavor... And Rice! They ran out by the time we went to eat!!! Also... If you know someone who knows Spanish, take them with you. I took my wife!!!“

“Friendly staff and great authentic Mexican food.. cozy atmosphere where you can go and just enjoy some great food.“

“Everytime the food is bomb and fresh keeps us coming back for more 😋😋“

“Best picadillo smothered burrito ever! Homemade salsa is yummy! Homemade burritos and the toppings are so fresh. I could (and do sometimes) eat there every day. Pricing is crazy great too!!!!!!!!!“

“Today was a first. It’s an hour drive to Amarillo but we Dined in on some of the most BadA$$ Tacos and definitely will return ! Normally it’s a chain restaurant we go to when in town but I’ll be back and fill up on them tacos !!“

“Súper recomendado, la comida excelente y el servicio muy bueno todos muy atentos con la orden y revisando la mesa ? 10/10“

“Their motto is Comida 100% Mexicana and it does live up to their claim. I got the chilaquiles in red sauce with a bistec and scrambled eggs. The portions were ample enough for two. The star of the platter was the bistec. Normally these flattened pieces are nothing to write home about but this was tasty, just enough marbling, and cooked well. Solid authentic breakfast.“

“I went in here the other day for their breakfast burritos and I was pleasantly surprised! I hadn’t ever eaten here so I was trying a new place! Their restaurant was clean, with several ppl eating at their tables. The people behind the counter were busy, but very welcoming and friendly! I ordered my stuff and it was prepared very fast, as I thought I’d have to wait bit? The employees were very friendly and helped me with my order.. The breakfast burritos were amazing! Big portions and so flavorful! I had carne asada and my friend had chicken verde, and they were amazing! I will most def be going back!“

“I was in town for training and had lunch here. Delicious!! I will return for next round of training. 😊“

“I just drove 14 hours straight from Kentucky to Texas.

All I could think about for the last 14 hours was the buttery, savory, light, fluffy tortillas gently hugging the lightly fried chile relleno with the creamy melted cheese inside the chile...

My first stop in Amarillo was Grandma's as I sat patiently in the parking lot waiting for Grandma's to open at 7am.

To my surprise, they opened the doors early at 6:57am and I was greeted with the smell of freshly made salsa, tortilla chips, tortillas, and breakfast foods. The cherry on top, ice cold Mexican Coca-Cola made with real sugar and not the cheap inferior corn sryup Coca-Cola.

I told the staff the tale of my 14 hour journey and quest for the best chile relleno burrito in the Texas Panhandle as I am describing above.

I may have moved away from Texas, but Grandma's Burrito's will always be the number one burrito joint in my heart and always be my number one stop when I travel back to my roots here in Tejas.“
