In search of a new favorite Mexican spot?
Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the best affordable Mexican restaurants around Colorado Springs, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of the best spots to satisfy your cravings.
1. El Super Taco
Topping the list is an outpost of the chain El Super Taco. Located at 2890 S. Academy Blvd. in southeast, it is the highest-rated affordable Mexican restaurant in Colorado Springs, boasting 4.5 stars out of 303 reviews on Yelp.
Yelper Florence V., who reviewed El Super Taco on July 26, wrote, "My friend ordered the carne asada burrito, but I was so fixated on the carne asada fries that I refused to look at anything else on the menu. They also have house-made salsas. The portions are huge."
Rich S. noted, "Five stars for the best carne asada fries I've ever had. Shoestring fries were cooked just right."
2. Tlaquepaque
Next up is east Colorado Springs's Tlaquepaque, situated at 911 Murray Blvd. With 4.5 stars out of 260 reviews on Yelp, the Mexican spot has proven to be a local favorite for those looking for a low-priced option.
Yelper Rebecca B., who reviewed Tlaquepaque on July 8, wrote, "Hands down the best authentic Mexican I've had in the Springs. Coming from California, I've been searching for the best tacos and carne asada plates and I think I've finally found the spot."
Marika F. noted, "Fresh-cut limes here. And they're great for juicing over the carne asada. But even better are the flautas, which are made with well-seasoned chicken rolled in corn tortillas. The best flautas in town. The birria tacos are a must-try."
3. La Flor de Jalisco
La Flor de Jalisco, located at 5520 S. US Highway 85 87, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the inexpensive food truck, which offers tacos and more, 4.5 stars out of 74 reviews.
Yelper Jennifer S., who reviewed La Flor de Jalisco on Oct. 1, wrote, "Best tacos in town. I usually get the carnitas and chicken and add avocado but good without it too. You get a grilled jalapeño with each order of three tacos. The ceviche tostada is made with shrimp and is always fresh and super tasty."
Jill F. noted, "Best tacos and burritos, especially for the price, I have had anywhere in the Springs."
