50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Amarillo

“I never had Flan, they given us 1 in gratis!!! It was the BEST dessert I'd ever had, thank you Taco Guapo!!! I will be back with friends!😉“

“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 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!!“

“Highly recommend. Just stopped in today for a Chilaquil box and 4 tacos. Everything was good with tons of fresh flavors. Will be my go to stop when I'm West bound on I40 for sure. Great Job ladies!“

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

“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!“

“Wonderful atmosphere with a friendly waitress and great food & drinks!“

“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.“

“Never got refills. Had to wait for an extremely long time for a Togo box and never got a check, waitress was not friendly or welcoming but the lady who I'm assuming owns it was very kind and the food was delicious even though it came out very scattered. Best guacamole I've had in a very long time so I will absolutely be back and don't care about the service but hopefully it was just an off day.“

“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!“

“I go to Torchy’s multiple times a week. I was shocked to see that they weren’t nominated in the Amarillo “Choice Awards” because they are my choice for pretty much every category—fast service, good food, atmosphere, etc. I see the same faces when I go in there… so it also must be a fun place to work. Next year I’m nominating you!!!“

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

“It was fantastic and friendly staff.“

“Food and service is always amazing“

“Very friendly & atmosphere is great, My apologies for not remembering the name of the waitress, Bad with names, But she is awesome & Is checking on customer's to see if anything is needed. Enjoy going there & The food is great. Hunter“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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).“

“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.“

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

“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“

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

“🌮 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 🛻“

“(Translated by Google) The fish tacos for Kikis Tacos are very delicious! The fish is tasty and good, and the sauce is more or less spicy. The beans are not tasty, it is very cold. The rice is very good! Dr. Pepper's soda is very cold. The ingredients are very good healthy! In general, Kikis Tacos is so-so, but still good!(Original)Los tacos de pescado para Kikis Tacos es muy delicioso! El pescado es sabroso y bueno, y la salsa es más o menos picante. Los frijoles no son sabrosos, es muy frío. Los arroz es muy bueno! El refresco del Dr. Pepper es muy frío. Los ingredientes son muy buenos saludables! En general, Kikis Tacos es más o menos, pero aun buena!“

“Convenient but quality nook for Mexican food right off the highway while passing through Amarillo. Food was good - I was interested in trying the pozole which was tasty, served with cabbage, onions, lime, and corn tortillas. Agree with previous post - salsa was awesome! Chips were fresh and crispy. Rice and beans were pretty standard, nothing special. Very reasonable prices. Service was fast and friendly. Restaurant and bathroom was clean. Restaurant appeared to be packed with locals (a testament to the quality of the food). Overall, really excellent value.“

“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!“

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

“The food & service were great!!“

“I worked there with a bunch if great people when I lived in Amarillo. Oscar, Trina (GM) and a bunch of others. I miss there food. It was so delicious! Anyone know how Trina is, if anyone knows of her? ✌“

“No loud music.
Excellent food.
High quality service.

These are the things I love about Jacobo's.

Here you will find the best menudo in town. The caldo is a bit spicy with the right flavor. And I've not found pata anywhere else.

The horchata tastes like homemade.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Jorge’s Mexican Bar and Grill provided an exceptional catering experience for our event of 125 people! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, earning compliments from all our guests. Special thanks to Fernando, who went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly—his attention to detail and friendly service made the event stress-free. Highly recommend Jorge’s for any catering needs!“
