Showing 2 top-rated mexican restaurants • Updated June 2026
Colima Mexican Restaurant
Colima has been a Sylva institution for years, earning devoted regulars who appreciate the friendly service and wallet-friendly prices—especially the weekday buffets and $1.25 Taco Tuesdays. However, recent visits show an inconsistent experience, with some reporting declining food quality and service issues, while others continue to have excellent meals. The interior could use updating, and there are occasional service missteps that stand out against otherwise positive interactions.
El Patron Mexican Restaurant
El Patron has won over visitors with genuinely authentic Mexican cuisine that earns praise even from native Mexicans. The family-owned restaurant impresses guests with remarkably fast service—food often arrives within 10 minutes—and the personal touch of owners who make the rounds greeting diners. Recent reviewers report the restaurant has addressed past issues and is back on track, with consistently high marks for their margaritas, salsa bar, and homemade dishes.
