13 Best Mexican Restaurants in Appleton

“THE best Mexican food in the Fox Valley area! The portions are big and the prices are affordable. In addition to the great menu selection the have a kids menu with extremely affordable options. They even have a Chicken Tender kids meal for about $5 with Chicken Tenders of better quality than most area restaurants even offer. The staff is very attentive to customer's needs and the owners treat every customer like they are important to them. There is parking available on both sides of the building. So even if the front looks full don't let that deter you from giving them a try. Never once have I had to wait to be seated even when they are busy“

“Sangria's catered my family of 16 Christmas party last night and it was fantastic! Every detail I asked for was done. My order arrived exactly on time and Sarah and her two assistants were so great. I highly recommend catering from Sangria's!!“

“We love coming to El Sabor! We don’t eat out much, but this is definitely one of our favorite spots. Our kids both love the tacos and queso dip. I’ve never had anything to eat that wasn’t delicious, the margaritas are pretty tasty too! The staff is amazing and super friendly. Highly recommend!“

“Ordered out tonight after wanting to try this place for awhile. Food did not disappoint! Really good burritos, chips, salsa, bean dip, and guacamole. Will definitely give fajitas a try the next go around.Owner is super nice and eccentric. I did rate atmosphere 3 stars because we did only order to go and they are currently in the process of updating their restaurant under new management.“

“This place is the place to be. My husband and I have been going here for a couple of years and our other couple friend as well. The food is authentic and tastes amazing. It's not really a sit down place to eat. There are a few seats you can sit if they aren't taken and in the summer months, there's a picnic table outside. Otherwise you will have to stand and eat. Either way, it is definitely worth it. It's even better after you've had a couple of drinks out in the town. You usually have to talk to the one who is the cashier as only 1-2 usually speak English (at least with what we have caught on to). Even with a language barrier, they're all very nice to their customers. On average, you will probably spend about 10 bucks or less if you're doing just a couple of tacos. Otherwise, you will probably spend 10-20 on a meal. Definitely recommend.“

“AMAZING tacos! They had quite the selection of excellent food, aside from the dozen or so tacos to choose from. All delicious! It was a bit chaotic with the service, we had to wait a bit for someone to check in with us. When we ordered more tacos, we asked for the check as well to help expedite things. Would love to go back!“

“Fast Taco has quickly become my go-to spot for delicious, authentic tacos. This taco truck, while it may roam, always seems to find the perfect spots to set up shop, making it a convenient choice for a quick, savory meal on the go. What truly sets Fast Taco apart is the vibrant, welcoming energy of the staff. They serve up smiles just as readily as they do their mouth-watering tacos, creating an atmosphere that's as warm as the dishes they prepare.Their menu might be compact, but it's bursting with flavor. Each taco is a masterpiece of traditional ingredients, wrapped in freshly made tortillas. From succulent meats to fresh, zesty salsas, the quality of their offerings is unmistakable. Fast Taco doesn't just serve food; they offer an experience—a chance to enjoy expertly crafted tacos that taste like they're straight from the streets of Mexico.Whether you're a taco aficionado or simply in search of a delicious, quick bite that doesn't compromise on flavor, Fast Taco is the place to be. Their commitment to authenticity, combined with their friendly service, makes every visit a delightful escape into the world of Mexican street food.“

“I originally thought I would be able to dine in, however, that's not an option. It's definitely a unique place. There is a convenience store with the kitchen attached. The gentleman who took my order was very friendly and helped me decide what to order. Prices were good. Unfortunately, I don't believe what I got was what I ordered. It was nachos with toppings of my choice. Because I took it with, I just ate it the way it was and it was still pretty good. I will go back. I'll try the burrito next time.“

“Holy hell this place was so good, 10/10 will be coming back. The taste is very authentic and I could guzzle the salsa by the gallon. The staff was also lovely and accommodating, and they deserve every dollar. Would recommend getting Empanadas de plátano, they are soooo amazing.“

“Just had lunch here, host greeted us fast and friendly. Our waiter Leidy was absolutely fantastic. He attended to us frequently and made sure our drinks were always filled. He has a fantastic memory has he took our order without having to write it down. 100% accurate and really good! Great portion for the lunch menu. We had the Fajita salad. Fresh ingredients and good price!! 10/10 in customer service, atmosphere, and food.“

“What a great restaurant for Mexican, American food employees are kind and considerate. Happy to serve you. The place is clean and the food is great very affordable with a wonderful atmosphere could not be happier. Will definitely be going back many times.“

“Tonight we got the chance to experience the newly renovated and expanded Antojitos Mexicano on College Ave in Appleton. We were NOT disappointed, to put it simply it was beautiful and delicious.It’s swanky enough to be a solid go to when you want to dress up for a classy night out, but casual enough that you can go in jeans and a hat (like we did tonight).The foot print is more than double the size, so much more spacious and open than ever before.  If you’re wondering how all that additional room is possible, it’s because the restaurant is expanded to fill the neighboring building as well. Joining the two buildings was done so well it looks like it’s always been that way.Covering two buildings doesn’t mean it feels too open or not inviting, it’s quite the opposite. It has a cozy feel to it created in many different ways.  By adding sitting areas with couches, quaint tables, little nooks for drinks and appetizers and all the different looks and textures that were used, it feels like you’re able to experience the restaurant in many different areas, all with their own ambiance.  Many different styles of chairs and and seating ensure you’ll be happy to enjoy your time there while soaking in the beautiful decor, lighting and of course those you’re with. There’s even a large community table for groups or getting to know others.The food was as great as always, with quite a few new additional items on the menu but also so many of the same items we always loved. If you’re like us, you’ll also notice new dishes, plates, and much more. It’s a like a new restaurant, but one where you know you’ll already love the food, drinks and staff.Speaking of drinks, there’s now 2 bars. The original bar and back bar area is still there but now there is a new, very large bar in the front of the new part. We didn’t partake in having drinks tonight but the drink menu is expanded as well. Of course there’s the favorites like Margaritas (our favorite being the BMW), Mojitos, Paloma’s etc, but there is also many new drinks on the menu (craft cocktails, beers and others that we’ll have to explore over the years).We can’t wait to go back again and again. Congrats the to Antojitos’s team on their new chapter and thank you for providing a place for your customers to create memories with each other, while enjoying delicious food and drinks in such a beautiful place! We’re lucky to have such an amazing place in Appleton!“

“For being fast food the food is always pretty decent. They had the music a little too loud though. I had a phone call and I could hardly hear the person talking on the phone over the music and the servers were really nice. At least at this location.“
