From delicious seasonings and grilled meats to fresh vegetables and rice and beans, Mexican food provides tasty offerings. When you eat out at a Mexican restaurant, finding something delicious to eat isn’t a challenge, but deciding what to pick off the menu can be! Here’s a closer look at popular Mexican dishes that are sure to be a great match for your taste buds.

What Are the Most Popular Foods to Get at a Mexican Restaurant?

1. Burritos

Burritos are a signature dish that typically uses a flour tortilla filled with meat, such as beef or chicken; beans; and cheese. Depending on where you are ordering your burrito from, it might also contain rice, lettuce, or tomatoes, though this is less traditional than the meat, beans, and cheese combo. With everything bundled up inside a toasty tortilla, this is a filling meal that you can eat with your hands.

2. Tacos

Traditional street tacos use small corn tortillas. The taco is topped with meat, and possibly a few vegetables, like onions. Traditional street tacos don’t use cheese or lettuce, but you can top them with the salsa or pico de gallo. The tacos are heated in a pan to get warm and soft—the perfect accompaniment to the delicious filling. Because of their small size, most people will eat three or four street tacos in a single sitting. 

3. Churros

If you need to satisfy your sweet tooth, you can’t go wrong with a churro. A popular staple in many countries that were settled by the Spanish, Mexican churros are usually filled with caramel, strawberry cream, or dulce de leche. Coated with sugar and cinnamon on the outside, it’s the perfect treat to end your meal.
