Mexican Restaurants in Pensacola

Mexican dining in Pensacola offers a wide variety of choices. Typically, Mexican food in Pensacola tips to the Tex-Mex scale; those looking for authentic food based on black beans should look elsewhere. But if you enjoy the Tex-Mex variety, then there are many restaurants in town to enjoy.

One of the oldest Mexican restaurants in Pensacola-and my own personal favorite-is the Taco House, located at 4295 W. Navy Blvd. What makes the Taco House so good for me probably revolves around familiarity. After all, I've been eating there on a regular basis for over thirty years. Familiarity alone doesn't rate this restaurant at the top however. After all, I've eaten at all the restaurants in this article and many, many others that won't make it. Although many have risen to the occasion, so far none threaten to topple the Taco House for sheer deliciousness. And, perhaps most importantly, Taco House makes their own hot sauces-both red and green-and no hot sauce in Pensacola has yet to make food taste better. Anyone who has read my article on the hottest hot sauces around knows that I love it super-hot. But it isn't the heat that makes the Taco House hot sauce special. It's the flavor. And that flavor just can't be beat here.

As I sad, Mexican dining in Pensacola revolves around Tex-Mex and the Taco House has been providing your basic stand-bys for a long time. Here you will tacos, enchiladas, tamales, tostadas, etc. The enchiladas and tacos are, simply put, the best in town. The enchiladas come in a delicious red sauce and are stuffed with hamburger, chicken, cheese or shredded beef depending on your taste. The tacos are always fresh, stuffed with beef, lettuce, and cheese and taste fantastic dipped in the red sauce and covered with the hot sauces.
