Lewisville’s ‘Taco Tuesday’ scene just got a major upgrade. Our 2026 guide spotlights twelve authentic Mexican kitchens where every bite—from Monday’s enchiladas to Wednesday’s carnitas—delivers flavor that needs no discount to impress.
Chante Mexican Grill & Cantina
$ | (469) 293-8098 | WEBSITE
Chante Mexican Grill & Cantina is a Lewisville mainstay, tucked away in a strip mall, that’s perfect for celebrating, commiserating, or just getting a solid meal. The food is classic, comforting Mexican fare. Beef fajitas, brisket tacos, enchiladas, and the like. It’s the kind of food you might attempt at home if you had the energy, but even then it would never taste this good. The white queso and the peacado el Refugio are particular standouts.
The staff is professional and friendly, making you feel welcome whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth. The complimentary chips and homemade salsa are fresh and a great start, while the ice-cold beer washes it all down perfectly. The ambiance is fun and fresh, with music and unique decor that feels authentic without trying too hard.
Portions are large, prices are reasonable (most entrees hover around the $15-$20 mark), and everything from the carne asada fries to the burrito bowls is packed with flavor. It’s the kind of place where families can gather, eat well, and leave happy. The chef-owner’s dedication shows in the well-seasoned, tender proteins in the fajitas and the delightful mole enchiladas. In short, it’s exactly what you want from a neighborhood Mexican spot.
Taqueria Mercedez

At Taqueria Mercedez, regulars pop in for a quick taco and a horchata, and families gather in the small dining area or wherever they can squeeze in. The food is a touch traditional and a touch Tex-Mex. Put simply, it’s very good. Think a plate of al pastor tacos, only paired with a cold Jarritos.

The menu stays consistent, but no matter what they’ve got going on with their friendly service, you know you’re in safe hands.
Tacos Sabrositos

Tacos Sabrositos in Lewisville is the latest destination for authentic Mexican cuisine north of the tollway, and it too has a menu of food you’ll want to eat all day long. Expect things like barbacoa taco plates, fajita tacos on corn tortillas with cilantro and onion, and chorizo tacos made with eggs and cheese on flour tortillas. The sopes are very well served, the menudo has very good flavor, and the tortas and salsas will leave you wanting more.
While the restaurant is small, the food is fantastically fresh.

Casa Mia Latin Cuisine
$$ | (972) 987-5857 | WEBSITE
This cozy Lewisville spot is at the vibrant end of things. As in, you’ll be debating whether to order the mango cucumber margarita or the pineapple margarita, rather than settling for something ordinary.

Jalisco Restaurante
$ | (972) 420-8411 | WEBSITE
While the outdoor patio of this Lewisville gem is kept for live music on Fridays, step inside and you’ll find a cozy, warmly lit dining room. This place is made for consumption. Specifically carnitas tacos, beef burrito, taco al pastor, and, of course, homemade tortillas de Nopal.
Cristina’s Fine Mexican Restaurant
$ | (972) 315-3126 | WEBSITE
Though more restaurant than casual taqueria, Cristina’s Fine Mexican Restaurant is still just as good for a few chips and margaritas as it is for a full sit-down meal. Though it’s meat-heavy – things like Carne Asada with flavorful salsa and shrimp reilleno feature – there’s also plenty of vegetarian options too.
Taqueria el Chino
$ | (469) 464-3403 | WEBSITE
Taqueria el Chino is a local favorite for breakfast and lunch, and its food is consistently crowd pleasing. From breakfast tacos, to the massive Torta Cubano, to the standout Birria tacos, everything here is completely spot on, and exactly what you want after a long morning. The dining area is what people call ‘a charming spot’. The small hole-in-the-wall space ‘a cozy gem’. And the overall atmosphere ‘a warm place to be’.
