A Paris local suggested this place when I visited and we went there together for a working lunch. Long story short -- this place has something for everyone. If you want taqueria style tacos -- Alex's has you covered. If you want classic Tex-Mex, Alex's has you covered. They're more than willing to customize your order. And if you've got a lighter appetite, you can order individual tacos like I did. I was impressed by the rib eye tacos. And the salsa had a good flavor, but could use a bit more kick. When you combine this with the friendly, efficient service, Alex's is a go to if you want Mexican food in Paris. read more

We love this place and have found it to be the best Mexican restaurant for us. Their wait staff is always attentive but not hovering. my partner loves the Ribeye tacos and I go back and forth from the Nachos and Burritos. The address needs to be changed on here because they have moved but it is worth finding them. read more

Food was mediocre. It was a clean environment. The place was clean...no frills Mexican joint. I tried it.. It was ok. Full warning the bathroom is in the adjacent hotel...and is not that clean. Food came out quickly. read more

See all

The food was absolutely amazing. They were fast. I would definitely go back. The food was authentic.

Food suks / staff suks and be prepared to pay cash they charge for your credit card even if it's a debit card 3.5% really stupid / I can get Taco Bell and have better diarrhea. read more

Honestly im about tired of giving them chances. Their right around the corner from me, but its no longer worth the chance. The beef and chicken still taste as if they cooked it with the fish. I hate for my beef to taste like shrimp. Also dont go i there to order one thing, especially if its take out. If they were polite in the beginning there whole mood changes and they become annyoed. One time i ordered FF for my toddler, thats all she wanted, they tried to charge me $6 when the menu clearly stated way less. However none of that woukd have mattered if the food was good thats just my opinion. read more

Our service was great, Lashaund did an amazing job. Kept our drinks filled and the food was fresh and hot. I'll be back of I'm in the area. read more

Alex's Mexican Tacos - tables and chairs in a restaurant - Tex-Mex Near Me - Paris, Texas

My son and I recently tried Alex's Tacos and were pleasantly surprised. The place has much more to offer than Tacos. They have a grand menu with classic Mexican Dishes such as Tamales, Enchiladas, Burritos, Salads, and Fajitas.I had the Beef Fajitas and they were very good and complete with onions, bell peppers, guacamole, cheese, and beans and fried rice. My son's Tamale Dinner was excellent. Oh and I must give credit to their Margueritas. They were tasty and full of the kick for attitude and Happy hour pricing to boot. The service was on time and courteous and the decor inside was nice and clean. We will Definately be back! read more

Saturday night we get there before a rush grab a table where no one else is sitting get some drinks and waited a good minute for our food we ask for salsa and she said she's going to get it and doesn't come back I had to go find her. Then they say they got a complaint on us okay if that's the issue then you should have better service we would have left sooner. Doesn't sit right with me that the servers service was horrible and they're complaining about us. read more

Nice locally owned Mexican restaurant on the loop in Paris. Based on a prior review, I tried the ribeye tacos. My wife tried the Alex Pollo. Both were excellent. Our server was attentive. We will return. read more

We arrived when it was open and nothing was ready did you not even have sweet tea to serve at the time no the time no employees showed up We order our food I order street tacos All the tacos I ordered were bad it was dry and didn't taste like I expected I will never go back to this restaurant The staff was good that was there Sorry I wasn't satisfied read more

I went here once after moving to town looking for GOOD Mexican. It's OK if you're ok with mediocre, but not the best food quality in town. The chips are terrible, overly done verging on having a burnt/stale taste. The service was quick and friendly, and at least they have margarita's. read more

The food was great, not so much the service. When I arrived no wait which was nice, I got seated right away. The waiter seemed like it was an inconvenience for me to order food. He brought me water, per my request and chips with salsa. When he took my order I had questions and he looked at me like I was crazy asking if the flautas came with sour cream and guac. I asked for it on the side. Would I recommend? Yes, the food was good but don't expect good service. read more

I'd give it zero stars if I could. Went in to order some takeout. Got a rude reception from the wait person and given a menu to look at. The menu was filthy and had food all over it. Someone came out from the back and asked me what I wanted. Told him I'd order something and what I wanted. He looked at me and said "is that it"? I just left and said forget it. Won't go back. read more

Delicious no-nonsense Mexican comfort food. I had the fajita chicken, fajita beef, and brisket tacos which were all delightful. Great portion sizes. read more

We just ate here for the first time tonight. It was great. Good food. Good service. Nice people. We had a big plate for 4 people. It was enough food, without having to take it home. read more

Good food!! We get the chicken fajitas or the chicken quesadillas they are always good. Go by and try them if you like Mexican food you can go wrong! read more

Got stuck overnight for a job was attached to the hotel so I went there to eat because it was convenient walked in one there but I kind of looked at me funny when I said at the bar really the whole thing made me just I felt like I was unwelcome brought my food out food get cold when I was waiting on tortillas just overall bad expense slow customer service slow waitress slow bartender other people just staring at you just as I walk bye not asking if you need anything overall bad experience wouldn't recommend it to anybody read more

Reasonable prices. Food very good for this price point. Good service. Plenty of seating Bathroom ill-located in the adjacent hotel read more

I have written a review here before and have no idea why it's not posted. The service and tacos used to be awesome. But over the last year both have declined to just good and typical. read more

The food is Tex-Mex and is good. If you like being ignored after you've seated, having your drink orders disappear and getting snotty responses from the staff when you ask for help...then this is the place for you. They also never appear with your final bill and chat about you when they think you aren't aware. We won't be returning. read more

Food was tasty and service was excellent. We are truly excited to have such a great Tex-Mex restaurant nearby. Two in our party had beef fajitas and the other had the Mexican burger, minus the mushrooms, and with avocado added on. She said it was hands down the best burger she's ever had. The fajitas were well done and the guacamole with the setup was delicious. We will be back. $62 for a family of three including tip and giant margarita. read more

Stopped on our way home from the casino. We had never been there before. My husband had three ribeye tacos and I had the three taco dinner. I ordered an el pastor, beef fajita and brisket taco. Both our meals were excellent. We each took a taco home. I couldn't even eat my rice and beans because I was so full. All the meat was tender and perfectly seasoned. The service was great as well. We will definitely be back. read more

We try to order carry out a lot but they NEVER answer their phone!!! I would classify that as horrible customer service!

I was very disappointed in the quality of service. I picked Alex's for my birthday dinner because of the great experience I previously had. For starters our chips were cold. When I placed my order for fajitas I asked that the set up not include lettuce or any type of pico. I was cut off and told it didn't come with that. When I received my set up it was not correct. Basically 4 out of 8 meals had to be returned and corrected. My fajitas were burning as they put them in front of me. A billow of black burning smoke was coming off of them and the hot oil was popping and burning my skin. You couldn't tell what was meat and what was vegetables. My mother had to return her plate 2 times and finally just told them not to bring it back in the most polite way possible. After all of this we were treated pretty crappy. Our ticket was thrown on the table and suggested we pay at front on the way out in a snippy tone. But we still had a birthday cake in the back they were suppose to bring out. When asked for the manager, the waitress who served us (tattoo on neck, very pretty) informed us she was the manager... Again in a very snippy tone. When I attempted to de escalate the attitude and show extreme kindness, it back fired. It's as if they didn't care that THEY got the order wrong. I'm not sure how this was our fault? When you pay for something you expect it to be correct. When you ask for a child's meal with no veggies or jalapeño, then they bring it with, you return it and they bring it back 30 seconds later after scrapping it off, they can't expect a child to eat that when they get a left over jalapeño in their mouth. Which is what happened. And then she was very rude about it. The food tasted great!! When it was brought out corrected. I love their chips and salsa. But their service is defiantly lacking. I feel that a lesson is customer service and compassion for others is much needed by a few members of the staff. I can't say that we will dine in again. And if we order to go I will check the order to confirm correct. Maybe they had an off night, I don't know? But my birthday dinner was ruined. read more

Margaritas were delicious! The food was very authentic and more than plenty. We will definitely be back.

The chicken was good but the margaritas were terrible. The carne asada was a little chewy but good flavor. The place was connected to the baymont inn. read more

Stopped here to eat on spending the night in Paris. Staff was very attentive and very friendly. Food was great and came out quickly. Portions were large and tasty. Would definitely come back the next time we're in Paris read more

Went there Monday Feb 22nd @6:30, place wasn't even 1/4 full but was totally ignored waiting at the bar to place a Togo order. 4 different waitresses cut their eyes over at me and or walked by without saying a word! After sitting there for 10 minutes I got tired of their lousy service and went and went to Dos Maria's where I should have gone in the first place. Lousy service and the food really isn't all that great, will never go back and will not recommend them ever again! read more

Awesome food. Waitress very friendly. My wife and I had the quesadillas and nachos supreme for an appetizer. Great prices for great food. I will be returning again. read more

Great food, not too expensive. The Alex's Burrito is a 14" burrito packed with stuff and just may fill you up.

VERY PLEASANTLY SURPRISED! I have to admit, we were not so sure when we walked in , I was not so sure, but the food is surprisingly good- I had the supreme nachos and my husband had the Pollo Guerrero- both came out quick, hot and DELICIOUS. read more

Most decent tacos in town. If you are from south/central Texas and require street tacos to live, this place will be your only salvation in Paris. Get the beef fajita tacos. 4 stars because the queso is unfortunate. Tasted vaguely like potatoes? Everything else was great. read more

This place is dangerous. Took my family there and six hours later we were all throwing up and severe diaherra.Have been up all night with all these symptoms. Still burping up the enchiladas I had. Never had food poisoning before and it is terrible.If I could give them a zero rating I would. read more

Just another Tex-Mex restaurant in town. Alex's is nothing special, was hoping! Ordered the tacos since you know, it's Alex's Mexican Tacos... The barbacoa was bland. The lingua was boring. The beans and rice taste just like Tamolly's down the road, blah. Brought the leftovers home to the stray cats and they wouldn't even touch the food lol! I did give an additional STAR because service, tea, and dessert were good. I do not recommend and will not return... Nope, even the dessert isn't worth a return. read more

I have eaten here quite a few times and it has been consistently delicious. It is clean and has much nicer furniture than the average local Tex-Mex restaurant. I love their chips and salsa which is a requirement to get my recommendation. The wait staff are very attentive and quick to refill chips and drinks. We have many wonderful Mexican food restaurants to choose from such as Garibaldi, La Familia, Ta Molly's and Don Lalo's, and I am glad to add Alex's Tacos to that list. Of course they offer so much more than tacos - it has a full menu to choose from. Give it a try if you haven't! read more

I just moved here from California and I've been looking for great Mexican food restaurants. I have literally tried every place in this town and I was never really satisfied until I finally tried ALEX'S Tacos. Awesome service, great food and beer, and let's not forget.... They always leave the food network on for your entertainment. Authentic and affordable. Ask for Daisy she is sweet as pie, she'll make you laugh and she's fast. read more

This is the best Mexican good in Paris. Nice and clean too! Try the specialty tacos or the fajitas mex w jalepenos. Best fajitas ever w a kick! Good friendly atmosphere and good service! read more

We've eaten here on multiple occasions and the food and service were always good. This trip, the food was good but the service was lacking. The waitress asked if I wanted green sauce and I said yes please. She never brought it. Another waitress stopped at our table and asked if we needed anything, I asked for green sauce again. She said okay, and never came back. Our regular waitress came back 15 minutes later and my husband asked a third time for the green sauce. She brought it with an attitude--slapped it down on the table with a sour look on her face and walked off. We never saw her again. Had to get the meal ticket at the register. read more
