Showing 2 top-rated mexican restaurants • Updated October 2026
Colima Mexican Restaurant
Colima's $1.25 Taco Tuesdays and its lunch and Wednesday night buffets keep regulars coming back to this longtime Sylva strip-mall spot. Diners often single out the chicken tortilla soup and the Poker Plate. It suits families and budget-minded diners who want big portions, though the dated room gets noisy and service can be uneven.
El Patron Mexican Restaurant
Homemade tamales that one Mexican-born diner likened to a mother's cooking headline the scratch-made menu at El Patron, where plates often hit the table within 10 minutes. With a salsa bar, strong margaritas, and an owner who greets each table, it suits families, groups marking an occasion, and anyone after authentic Mexican food in downtown Sylva.
