Feel like having a feast tonight but don’t want to go through the trouble of food prep and cleaning up the kitchen once you’re done? Why not grab some takeout instead? Mexican food makes for a crowd-pleasing option since even the pickiest eater can find something they like in the wide variety of dishes. But where are the best local spots to grab a quesadilla or enchilada in Medford, OR? Check out our list below for our local favorites.
1. El Arriero
The kind and attentive staff along with the soothing atmosphere at this place will make your meal experience a memorable one. Give the tasty enchiladas a try, you won’t be disappointed. If you’re especially hungry, order one of their burritos instead. And if you’re not quite hungry enough to handle this hearty meal, at least there’s nothing wrong with having leftovers the next day.
2. El Molcajete Mexican Grill
With two locations in the area, El Molcajete has all of Medford covered. Stop in during the middle of the day to try one of their lunch specials. We especially liked the chile verde served with chunks of pork. If you’re more in the mood for dinner, you can’t go wrong with a fajita burrito. Filled with your choice of pork or chicken, the homemade burrito sauce it comes covered in is excellent.
3. El Paraiso Mexican Cuisine
Authentic Mexican cuisine is the name of the game at El Paraiso. Start your meal off with any of their delicious appetizers, or if you can’t pick, go for the El Paraiso sampler. It comes with beef nachos, chicken taquitos, quesadillas, jalapeno poppers and much more. Pick any of the fajitas for an entrée. You’ll love the show as they come out of the kitchen steaming and sizzling almost as much as you’ll love the taste when you eat them.
4. El Tapatio Medford
Available for lunch and dinner seven days a week, El Tapatio can feed you no matter when you’re hungry. Do yourself a favor and start with an order of their guacamole. It’s made right at the table so you know it’s as fresh as it comes. Need a main course that will fill you up right? Go for one of El Tapatio’s Big Boy Platters. You’ll need a big appetite to tackle this whole authentic Mexican meal.
5. Las Morenas Taqueira
This low-key joint has a friendly staff ready to take your order. A bit of a hidden gem, Las Morenas might just have the best street tacos you can find in the city. With fresh lime and pickled jalapenos to give them an interesting twist, you’ll love every bite. Just be sure to come back for seconds.
