Mexican and Tex-Mex restaurants in Lawrenceville

Last checked Oct. 6, 2026. Refreshed every three months.

Most of Lawrenceville’s Mexican restaurants are downtown, within two blocks of the historic courthouse square on Crogan, Perry, Pike and Clayton streets. The rest are on the main roads: Buford Drive, Duluth Highway, Scenic Highway and Five Forks Trickum Road.

How we made this list. We started from OpenStreetMap records with a Lawrenceville address, the same data behind our local directory, and checked each place against its own website on Oct. 6, 2026. Alma Mexico, Añejo, Hacienda and Rreal Tacos were added from the city’s downtown business directory and, for the last three, their own websites. La Cazuela, once at 179 W. Crogan St., is left off: its website now lists only its Buford restaurant. The list is alphabetical. It is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. Run one of these places?

The list

The places

Alma Mexico Restaurant & Bar is listed in the city’s downtown business directory at 179 W. Crogan St. It has no website of its own, only a social media account, so we cannot give hours. Call or visit before you plan a meal.

Añejo on North Perry Street describes itself as an elevated Mexican dining room in the heart of downtown. It takes online reservations, hosts private parties and runs a catering and food truck service.

Chipotle at 860 Duluth Highway is the burrito and bowl chain’s Lawrenceville restaurant. Its location page lists 10:45 a.m. opening seven days a week.

El Real Mexican Grill on Buford Drive is one of two El Real restaurants; the other is in Bethlehem. Its site lists street tacos, Mexican specialties, a full bar and margaritas.

Hacienda Taqueria & Cantina on West Pike Street says it serves Mexican food and drinks, and its website takes orders for pickup.

La Placita Taqueria on Five Forks Trickum Road has a second restaurant in Duluth. Its site describes family recipes, tacos, quesabirria, carne asada and breakfast classics, and it caters events.

Rreal Tacos on South Clayton Street is one of several Rreal Tacos restaurants in the Atlanta area. It describes its food as Mexican street food, with tacos, quesadillas and margaritas, and takes reservations.

Strange Taco Bar on West Crogan Street is in the city’s downtown business directory. Its website has a browser check that stopped our visit on Oct. 6, so we could not confirm its hours. The phone number comes from our directory record.

Tacos & Tequilas Mexican Grill on Scenic Highway is one of six restaurants in the group. Its location page lists taquitos, skinny tacos, vegetarian options and margaritas, and offers pickup and delivery.

Related lists: wings, pizza, barbecue, breakfast and coffee, burgers, sushi and Asian, ice cream and desserts, bakeries, patios and outdoor dining and every list by category. Also: brunch, date night, the business directory and restaurant inspection scores.
