LOVE this place! They brought out chips and salsa, and instead of the classic red salsa, it was an orange soup. I don't know what's in it but it was delicious. I'm never going to be able to eat normal salsa again. The torta was excellent, and the bread was perfectly crispy. I also tried the Gordita and nothing beats a homemade tortilla. The drink was ginormous (I guess everything is bigger in Texas). Service was great, and when I saw the price at the end I couldn't believe how cheap it was! read more

Mexico Restaurant - Salsa - Mexican Near Me - Mount Pleasant, Texas

It's the second time we have come in here and we are greeted with a warm smile and a hello. We were seated promptly and ordered right away. Our server was a delight. Very warm and friendly. The food makes me want to go back as soon as we walk out. The tostadas are my favorite. They are fresh and light and crispy to the end. Idk how they do that. I love the music and all of the people. It is an upbeat and happy place to be. The salsa is delicious and I love it, but it took me a minute to figure out the smell reminds me of stuffed bell peppers like my mom used to make! read more

Mexico Restaurant - Lunch tostadas yummy - Mexican Near Me - Mount Pleasant, Texas

I had the shrimp fajitas. The best part was the shrimp were nice and moist, not overcooked and homemade corn tortillas. The service was amazing. I didn't ever have to ask for a refill on my drink. The ambience was clean and friendly. read more

Don't miss the guacamole! Or the fresh homemade tortillas!! This is true Mexican food, the way it should be. (So much better than the other place in town recommended by yelp, jalapeño something or other, which was big and had a packed parking lot but from all the pictures it's clear to be cheap bland Texmex) I'm glad we kept driving and found this spot. Wow!! Fresh, flavorful, tangy burst of sensation in the mouth. They are simple, have great service, and really nail it with the menu. I ate well past being full because it was just so satisfying. Loved the taco plate, chile relleno, simple and classic quesadilla, and their salsas. read more

The best authentic Mexican food! The service was super fast. The place was clean and welcoming. The pork street tacos were the best I've ever had. Their homemade corn tortillas were the best of the best, along with their homemade chips and salsa. 10/10 recommend! read more

Well, everything I read about this place turned out to be accurate. It was definitely worth the wait and definitely worth getting a little bit lost to find my way here! Next time we pass through here I would definitely call the order in via phone, as I know that would've cut down the wait time significantly. They were absolutely swamped on a Saturday night! I ordered the Hawaiina plate for the hubby, along with some Chicken Flautas to share, a Cheese Chile Relleno which is not my favorite but I think that is the only kind they make...2 Beef Gorditas. It doesn't sound like they use a lot of Cilantro even though the pictures show quite a bit on almost every plate. The young lady assured me that most everything comes with tomato onion and sour cream. The hubby prefers flour tortillas so that is what he got with his meal. His meal was very unique and was a mixture of tender fajita beef and chicken liberally sprinkled with cooked bacon topped with cheese. Easily eaten with tortillas but he enjoyed just eating it with a fork. He said it was very rich but delicious!!! They use a good quality flour tortilla but it is not homemade. I was the lucky one! My relleno came with corn tortillas per my request and they were homemade indeed and yes absolutely divine! The Red sauce had a lot of heat to it so I ended up saving it for when I get home so I have plenty of beverages should it be as hot as the first bite felt! It was sure delicious! The taquitos-Which is my name for them, (they are calling them Flautas,but in my opinion they were rolled small and tight and stuffed with delicious seasoned chicken. Had red and green sauce that accompanied them for dipping. Also had some shredded lettuce and then in a couple of thin slices of tomato and sour cream. These things were absolutely delicious and I ate every one of them! I didn't even share!!! The Gorditas were absolutely fabulous. So fresh, had just been put together, nice and warm and a very satisfying comfort food. Next time I will definitely try the sopas. And they were out of Agua Fresca's But I did get a Mexican Coke for the hubster which he appreciated. read more

Incredibly Delicious flavors in the homemade warm salsa, rice and beans. Brisket tacos on lunch special, and beef smothered with the warm salsa was amazing, surprising even. So good! read more

Service great, food great salsa hot but good. Eating here again. Have daily specials.

Fresh handmade tortillas. Tacos and sopas were probably some of the best that I have ever had. Definitely returning to try more.

It was good. We were passing through town and saw this recommended so we stopped. Had the brisket street tacos. Traditional with onions and cilantro. The chips were a little thick got my liking but the salsa was warm and had a nice flavor. The salsa's in the squeeze bottles were hot and delicious! Service was great. Will stop again the next time we are passing through, read more

Looking for a breakfast place and we found this hole in the wall. Food was good!! I had scrambled eggs with papas. And the plate came with refried bean. I don't eat them so don't know if good or not. Also came with fresh hot tortillas. I got the flour tortillas and they were hot and delicious. Their green hot sauce, wow what can I say but hot hot hot!!! read more

Very good, and just the right amount of food for lunch. Don't let the outside throw you off--the food is delicious. Authentic Mexican food here, no Tex-Mex. We both had the cheese enchiladas with red sauce. (They bring out both sauces as well, but the green has quite a kick.) Lettuce, tomatoes, shredded white cheese, and avocado slices top the enchiladas. Rice and beans were good as well. Great sweet tea! read more

Mexico Restaurant - Outside - Mexican Near Me - Mount Pleasant, Texas

We came to this place twice last week. All of us had street tacos, asada, al pastor and barbecoa. The chips and salsa are good and the green sauce in the squeeze bottle is bomb. Would be four stars but the second time the waitress gave us a ration of shit about wanting some menus, lied and said they did not have menus. Five minutes later she is handing out menus like everyone gets them, not only to us but also to other tables. Not sure what her problem was. The tacos were yummy, else we would not have eaten there twice in two days. That is how I knew she was not truthful about the menus the second time, we had used them less than 24 hours earlier. read more

I did not expect such great Street Tacos in East Texas! I order Pastor with corn tortilla and salsa verde and roja. The meat was cooked perfectly, salsas were spicy and flavorful, and the tortillas were light but didn't fall apart! I had a mini photo shoot with my last taco for this review. So. Good. Highly recommend read more

Las bebidas están muy ricas. Mi platillo favorito son los chilaquiles verdes de pollo.

Driving through and decided to give this place a try. Best tacos I've ever had. Hands down.

WORTH EVERY MILE. We had al pastor tacos and a selection of enchiladas. Everything was excellent. In​ fact the al pastor was the best I've ever had. We drove 140 miles round trip to eat here, and it was worth the drive. read more

Very nice surprise here as we passed through Mount Pleasant. Had a little bit of difficulty finding the place but when we did, it had a lot of cars parked outside - a good sign. We were offered a basket of very crispy chips with a warm, chili-type salsa. Great starter. We ordered the Enchilada Verdi Rojas with chicken and the Carne Asada tacos with corn tortilla. The enchiladas were delicious - ordered it with red sauce. Topped with fresh veggies. Came with beans and rice. The 5 tacos were topped with cilantro and fresh onions with fresh lime on the side. Green sauce was perfect on it. Limeade was freshly made and delightfully refreshing. Would love to stop by again, but we were just passing through to Arkansas. read more

If you are wanting good Mexican Food that is 100% authentic (not Tex-Mex) then this is the place to go. It is a very unassuming place right off the main drag in Mount Pleasant, but it is packed with some of the best Mexican Food in East Texas. If you are traveling along the I-30 corridor, it is well worth the detour about 5 minutes into town for some fantastic food! I had the barbacoa tacos, and let me say this from the onset, they do not have crunchy tacos in this place. This is authentic Mexican food, and in Mexico, crunchy tacos are not part of the cuisine. Anyways, the seasonings were fantastic, and the meat not dry. The rice that came with it, full of flavor and spices, and everything I had hoped for. The chips and salsa are totally handmade. No bag chips that are warmed up and put in front of you. These are corn tortillas that some Abuelita in the cocina is cutting up and frying by hand. Also, the corn tortillas I HIGHLY recommend as they are handmade in this place. I had half corn and half flour, and while I am typically partial to flour with my barbacoa, the corn was infinitely better. The staff are friendly, and as a gringo, I was in the minority in this place. At the risk of sounding politically incorrect (and frankly I don't care if I am), when you see a bunch of Latinos in a restaurant, it's because the food is good. In Mount Pleasant, it's the best by far. Will definitely go back again! read more

Great tacos and friendly service. Love the salsa. Good value. Good selection. 4 out of 5

Wow!! AMAZING!! Excellent street tacos, homemade chips, flaming sauces! Literally felt like I was back in Mexico. So, so good!!!

Tried a few Mexican restaurants around town until I found this place. Authentic and fresh. Only thing that would make it better is if they sold alcohol, a nice margarita would put this place over the top. read more

Don't waste your money if you eat there you've got to be hungry I ask for ground beef enchiladas this is not ground beef then I called and asked her about it thats the only kind of beef we have you can't even chew it what is it skirt steak I won't be back in the hot sauce you got so much grease in it yes greasy the chip nasty...waste of money big time. read more

A Sunday night traveling by Mt. Pleasant , Texas where we found a lot of restaurants but many are closed on Sunday! Good reviews got us to try the Mexico Restaurant. The outside is not special but the service was quick and friendly. We were immediately served chips and salsa. We ordered the beef enchiladas verde. Nice to have beef that wasn't hamburger. The green sauce has a quite a kick so if you don't want heat, it is not for you. Food was great. Give it a try. read more

One of our favorite spots for after church on Sundays. They have amazing hot sauce. Small and quaint their tacos are to die for.

The food here is outstanding! The carne asada beef tacos are some of the best I've ever eaten and I'll be visiting again.

Tried Mexico Restaurant for the first time. We were very impressed with the shrimp fajitas. Great food and friendly service, and reasonable prices. Small restaurant with very casual atmosphere. We will definitely be back. read more

Food was very good, authentic Mexican food. Nice casual atmosphere. Torts was delicious

stopped for lunch while on the road, absolutely delicious and great service, doesn't look impressive from the outside, walked in and every table was nearly full, ordered the guacamole based on good reviews we read, creamy and perfect flavor, also ordered fajitas and they were great, tortillas are fresh and amazing, would definitely recommend! We will come back for sure, read more

This place reminds me of why I love Mexican food - genuine and delicious homestyle preparations direct from Mexico. We were the only gringos at the restaurant. The tortillas, both corn and flour, were delicious. The guacamole was freshly made and copious in quantity, both rare qualities at most Mexican restaurants. The tacos Al pastor and Shrimp fajitas were both tasty, so I know where I'm eating the next time I'm in Mount Pleasant. read more

The chips are thick and crunch and the salsa is flavorful. While I was here, several people came in just to order the chips and salsa to go. I had the al pastor tacos on corn tortillas. The corn tortillas were fresh, thick, and did not break when folded. The al pastor was very moist and had good flavor. Their garnished with cilantro and onions and overall very good. read more

Mexico Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Mount Pleasant, Texas

We will start with the food. It was good, not amazing, but good. Fresh chips. I asked for no lettuce, my plate came out with lettuce. My husband ordered a shrimp cocktail and they didn't bring it and it was a huge source of confusion to get it. And this is when things got interesting...my husband went to pay and the guy flipped the ticket over and gave him an amount. An incorrect amount. Over ten dollars more than what we owed. If he hadn't added it up in his head, he would've paid more. He got the distinct impression it was intentional. Also, the kids chicken nuggets are frozen dinosaur nuggets, and they microwave them. read more

Driving along I-30 past Mount Pleasant, these road trippers needed somewhere to stop for lunch. I'm so happy that Yelp brought us to Mexico Restaurant. As other reviewers have mentioned, it's quite unassuming from the outside. But inside, the restaurant was very clean, the service was friendly, and the food was authentic and spectacular. The server brought over warm homemade chips and a little dish of salsa for each of us (also served warm). It was spicy and delicious. My husband ordered the chicken fajitas with corn tortillas. The corn tortillas were the best we've ever tried--possibly even better than we've had in Mexico. They were thicker than typical corn tortillas and pillowy soft. I had the enchiladas verdes with cheese, served with rice and refried beans and topped with shredded lettuce, onion, tomato, avocado, and queso fresco, and they were perfect. The server also brought us squeeze bottles of homemade salsa verde and salsa roja, and they were both excellent accompaniments to our meals. All in all, we couldn't be happier with this lunch stop! I can't say when we'll be back in the Mount Pleasant area, but I know where we're coming to eat when we we make it back! read more

Bad ass Mexican food. I can't recommend enough. The tacos, sopas, it's all great. And the prices are unbelievable.

Awesome! Address is 301 W Ferguson at Arizona St. Authentic food. Corn tortillas, salsa, tacos are great! Come hungry.

You probably wouldn't give the place a second look, but that might be a mistake. A great little authentic Mexican food place. We're from Houston and stayed in Mt. Pleasant for a wedding and were looking for a place to eat. Honestly, we are always wary of trying any kind of Mexican away from Houston. This place is an exception read more
