Topping the list is El Pueblito. Located at 1027 Dillerville Road in the Stadium District, the grocery store and Mexican spot is the highest rated affordable Mexican restaurant in Lancaster, boasting 4.5 stars out of 44 reviews on Yelp.

Yelper Dave T. wrote, "The soft tacos are excellent, and I particularly like the asada, al pastor and barbacoa. They also have fresh menudo on the weekends with all the fixings. Reasonably priced, but keep in mind, it is a very casual spot located in a small Mexican grocery store."

2. Cocina Mexicana
