Chuy’s Mexican Food
While Tyler was definitely not hurting for another Mexican restaurant, that has not stopped Tylerites from flocking to the brand new Chuy’s on South Broadway. Parking spots are scarce and waiting lists are long, but the food is worth the wait if you’re willing to put up with the crowd. I’ve...

Mariscos DJ’s
We knew we wanted to go out for dinner this past weekend in celebration of my sister’s birthday.  We’d been hearing so many good things about the new Don Juan’s seafood restaurant, Mariscos DJ’s, so picking the restaurant was a no brainer. I was a bit concerned that we might not be able...

La Plazita Mexican Restaurant
Yet another delicious, authentic Mexican restaurant has found its way onto my radar, and I’m sure glad it did.  La Plazita, located on Hwy 64 towards Tyler Pounds Airport, is small, clean, and serves some of the best salsa I’ve ever tasted.  The staff is friendly and helpful, and the food...

Mercado’s Mexico Restaurant
Lit up like a giant circus festival with it’s colorful exterior and flashing neon lights, Mercado’s Mexico Restaurant somehow manages to draw a crowd each and every night.  It even seems as though each time we have out-of-town guests come visit, their first request is Mercado’s. ...

Los Gueros Taqueria
Tyler has a pretty decent selection of small, mostly Mexican, hole in the wall restaurants that are pretty darn good and definitely worth checking out.  Like I mentioned before, I am a fan of authentic Mexican food.  A big fan.  I like Tex-Mex if it is good and fresh, but not any of that frozen,...

Lindo Mexico Restaurant
Notable hole in the wall numero dos would be another taqueria, Lindo Mexico on East Gentry. The thing that makes this place notable is the freaking unbelievable prices. For two crispy chicken tacos with rice and beans and a set up of chips with salsa and queso the price is only $3.99. And the food...

Taqueria El Lugar
Numero tres isn’t so much of a hole in the wall anymore, though it did start out that way…  El Lugar – what every hole in the wall dreams of becoming, started with one small location on Gentry, but now has locations on Troup, in Bullard, and on 5th Street.  I’ve never eaten...

Don Juan Mexican Restaurant
Tyler definitely has its fair share of Mexican restaurants, some good and others not so good.  Don Juan’s, however, is one of the great ones.  In fact, I am willing to make the proclamation right now that it is my favorite Mexican food restaurant in Tyler.  Of course, I love Villa Montez, too,...
