Simply the best! We have stopped by here a few times while visiting Lake Tahoe and we are always happy to grab a bite at Los Mexicanos. The food is just so delicious and fresh. The staff is always kind and welcoming. Today I had a chili verde burrito. It was huge so I could only eat half. I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Good service, food with large portion and reasonable price. The salsa bar definitely worth trying.

I haven’t tried other Mexican restaurants in the Lake Tahoe area but I can tell you I have eaten plenty of Mexican food in Mexico and around the world and I have to say this place is as close as you will ever get to the real deal! Authentic, delicious food! Carnitas, fish tacos, chicken, and delicious chips with salsa!

We discovered them on a 2019 trip and they are a must go to every trip since. So very good! We always buy extra salsa to take back to hotel.

Super delicious and authentic Mexican restaurant. I believe they have two locations since the facade in the photo here is not this location, but this one is a sweet casual sit down or order to go spot that shared a building with a market as well. Got the Carne Asada and Pollo Asada Super Burritos and all three of the fresh salsas from the nacho bar and they were so delicious. Generous portions I think each burrito was like 2 lbs . Would love to try other menu items. Service was so lovely as well!

I love this place for their salad, salsas, and tacos. They have very fresh food and great service. They also have a salsa bar and tasty chips. This is the freshest salad in south lake! It’s also inexpensive.

My favorite thing was the horchata. The ceviche was cut up super small and was a bit watery- it was okay but didn’t look very appetizing to me. I came here with a big group of friends and we got a bunch of different dishes to go (burritos, tacos, etc). Everyone liked their meals for the most part. I heard that the burritos especially were good. I also heard that the salsa (pico de gallo) was not very good. The pricing felt affordable but it also felt like you got what you were paying for in terms of food quality and presentation.
