About This Place

Welcome to Taquería el Mixteco, a hidden gem located in the vibrant town of Mahahual, Mexico. Nestled at C SIN NOMBRE MZA 37 LT 4 FRACC ARRECIFES DE, this restaurant has become a beloved spot for locals, drawing them in with its irresistible flavors and wallet-friendly prices. With a phone number of +52 983 213 4842, Taquería el Mixteco is not just a dining choice; it’s a cultural experience.

The allure of Taquería el Mixteco lies in its authentic offerings. Guests rave about the tacos al pastor, celebrated as some of the best in the region. The blend of perfectly marinated pork, coupled with vibrant condiments like salsa roja and an engaging onion/pineapple/habanero slaw, takes your taste buds on a thrilling ride. Like many who have visited, I can't help but echo the sentiments of customers like Mike Hook, who found the flavors unforgettable and the prices astonishingly low.

Whether you’re a local or a curious traveler, the late-night appeal of this taquería stands out. Open until 1:30 AM, it’s a sanctuary for those seeking late-night bites. Chris Davis highlights its reputation as the go-to option when hunger strikes after hours—proof that even late-night cravings can be delicious!

However, it’s not just the food that captures the heart; it’s the authentic experience. As Scott Berry notes, this restaurant is a favorite among locals, providing a genuine taste of Mexico away from the tourist crowds. Be prepared, though—mosquito repellent is recommended, as the tropical surroundings come with their own set of challenges.

Join the locals and make Taquería el Mixteco your culinary destination. Enjoy the warm ambiance, indulge in mouthwatering tacos, and immerse yourself in the true flavors of Mexican cuisine. After all, they say the best meals are those steeped in local tradition, and this taquería embodies just that.

A secret to everyone but the locals. Cheap price and fantastic food. You won’t see the tourist here but the locals are all over this place and we loved it! Take my recommendation and eat here. Bring bug spray though. Mosquitos can get bad on the legs. But the food is worth it!

Good tacos and most times this place is your only and last resort for late night food. Their torts is my favorite in Mexico, may take an hour to get it though!

Tasty al pastor tacos in Majahual! Deliciously spicy salsas come with your 13 peso tacos. Open late until 1:30 am

Local ex-Pat here. We love this place. It’s real Mexico. Well prepared, super tasty and reasonably priced. It’s a weekly go to for us. Enjoy!

Best tacos al pastor we've had on our trip so far. Condiments were great, especially the salsa roja and the onion/pineapple/habanero slaw. Great prices.

Great tacos al pastor. Large portions, great price, friendly service.
