The room
Come on in
Taco Mexico is a family-owned Mexican restaurant in a small strip center on Montana Highway 35 in Bigfork. The sign out front says TACO MEXICO RESTAURANT and the window says AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD, so you know what you are getting.
Inside it is bright and cheerful: mustard-yellow walls, strings of paper banners across the ceiling, paper-lantern lamps, a Mexican flag, light-wood chairs with maroon seats and a terracotta tile floor. Sit down for a basket of chips and fresh salsa.
Plates are big, prices are friendly, and there is beer and wine to go with them. There is a kids menu and high chairs, room for groups, a free parking lot and a wheelchair-accessible entrance.

Hands down the best Mexican food in the Flathead. Just by looking at it, you can sense the authenticity. Once you taste it, game over, you’ll be hooked.
They also have the tastiest and freshest salsa to get you started. So go there and order anything, you won’t regret it!

I can confidently say, this is the most authentic Mexican food I have found this far north. Whatever you order, I am sure you will be pleased. This is not Texmex this is the real deal.

Two good reasons to stop on 35 near Bigfork:
(1) Excellent Chili Rellenos. Fresh, not frozen! Homemade batter recipe.
(2) Great salsa and chips.We drive 37 miles each way for this!

I've eaten here once today and once four years ago and both times the food has been absolutely delicious! The rice and beans are just like they taste in New Mexico where I grew up. SO GOOD.

Just good food and great service. This is my favorite Mexican food in Western Montana. The staff is always positive and happy.
The Carne Asada burrito is my favorite. I also enjoy the chicken quesadilla. My wife loves the Pollo a la creama.

Hard to get good Mexican food in Montana. But this is just that! Hands down, best chicken fajita salad on the planet! Not just Montana!
Hard to find friendly service in Montana, too. These folks were amazing!! A breath of fresh air after being treated like an inconvenience so many places around the state.Cyndi Nonnenmann Local Guidea year ago -

Taco Mexico is our favorite Mexican restaurant in Kalispell/Bigfork. Their food is consistently good, and as one expects Mexican food to taste and be served. The wait staff is great. They are always very busy and multi-tasking, but they get it all done and provide very good service. We lived for a long time in a Mexican border town, and we thought moving to Montana we would sorely miss good Mexican food, but with Taco Mexico so close we don't feel like we are missing a thing! :-)
