Don’t let anybody tell you the suburbs don’t have good food. Located 6.5 miles west of downtown Mobile, Alabama, Taqueria Mexico is an unassuming taco joint with a colorful interior, traditional menu, and Latin grocery. In short, it’s everything you’re looking for in a local Mexican restaurant.
The tacos are a specialty. The street tacos are under $4 each and include traditional varieties such as al pastor, lengua (beef tongue), and carnitas. They’re served with cilantro, onion, radishes, and lime to complete the dish.

The menu is extensive but not overwhelming, covering a large variety of Mexican dishes. The burritos are 10 inches long, except for the Burrito California that comes in at a hefty 14 inches and is covered with a layer of queso.
