Nortenos Mexican Restaurant

This is our weekly spot, true authentic Mexican food.
Their waters are great, I always get pineapple and my husband gets horchata.
Tacos, caldos, gorditas, enchiladas, tortas are always a hit and they do not shy from meat or other ingredients in your food.
The chips and salsa are always fresh and good.
Service is always fast and amazing

If you find yourself asking "Should I go here?" "Will it be good?" "Do they have good authentic salsa options?"...there is just one answer....YES!!!!!!!! Do yourself a favor and eat at Nortenos!!!

Really good customer service, food and price, they brought our food really fast.

Great food big screen TV's to watch the world series. Food is great and salsa is good also

My family and I were looking for a replacement for Don José not knowing that we had one not too far from where we stayed. We are so 😊 happy! The food is very good, the service is awesome, and the atmosphere is 💯! Love everything about Nortenos.

The trio fajitas were amazing....the service was very attentive and fast.

We just tried this place on Saturday, and it is Soooo Good!!! The food was Amazing!!! Love the chips and fresh salsa. All 5 plates we ordered were hot and delicious!!! Our waiter was very nice and refilled our drinks fast and often. He had multiple tables but never failed to check on us. The best part was it was affordable and kid friendly!!! We have six people in our family and with drinks and plates it was about $10 a person.

That server was hustling but he took our order and got us served. The food was wonderful! Very authentic Mexican food! Enjoyed every bite of those tacos carbon and did not leave a bit on my plate!

We love coming here! The food is always on point, the service is superb and it's always very clean! The owner and his son are very down to earth and always make you feel welcome. I especially like that it's quite peaceful compared to a lot of the other popular local restaurants that are usually overcrowded and noisy. Oh, and did I mention that the food is delicious?! 😋

Great authentic taste. And when the server says, "oh, that's spicy!". They mean spicy as in burn all the way down with no relief.

Traveling from palestine,tx to Dallas,and saw reviews so I stopped. It was great service and food was excellent,will be back!Eat the Trio fajitas!

Wasn't too sure about stopping since they were completely dead at dinnertime (it was a sunday, so that could be why) salsa was good, but not too spicy. Fajitas were delicious and the price for a fajita trio was awesome!! We will definitely be back next time we come back through!!

Best dang Chile rellenos ever!

Drive by this place all the time.
Finally went in and it's now one of our favorite Mexican places!!
Great food!
Friendly Staff

Nice people, great food, great prices, and prompt service. It's a long-time favorite of ours (100+ visits). I've been coming to Nortenos since they were at their old location downtown - I took my wife there on our first date. Always courteous, food comes out promptly, always hot. Family owned and operated. On our visit last Saturday, I had their Cheese Chili Relleno plate with hot flour tortillas, my wife had their Green Wrap. We are usually the only gringos there - that tells me something about the authenticity of the cuisine. Flavorful fresh salsa and thin chips while we wait - my wife gets a queso every time. The best and nicest Mexican restaurant in Ennis (though there's one new place I haven't tried).

The food here was very good and the staff that they have working there, is exceptional. The young lady that waited on us was double outstanding

Fast and friendly service and EXCELLENT food!

Nortenos staff is always nice and they are on top of your refills. Their food is a million times better than any other mexican restaurant in this town and their pricing is perfect. If you don't eat here you're missing out on some of the best foods and people around. If you like flavor that hits everytime, this is the place to go!!!

Real homemade taste ✔
Affordable menu and low-key environment - good for family, friends and/or quick bite.

My cheese enchiladas were wonderful! The salsa tasted so good...it was homemade! There are no margaritas at this restaurant, but the homemade food is genuine Mexican & delicious!
