Mexican Restaurants in Mexico
When Guy Fieri took his red Camaro south of the border, he discovered some of the most authentic Mexican cuisine featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Between 2013 and 2017, the show highlighted 7 incredible restaurants across Mexico, with all of them still serving up flavor-packed dishes to this day.
The tropical paradise of Cancun emerged as a Triple D hotspot, boasting 4 featured establishments where Guy found everything from fresh ceviche to slow-roasted carnitas that had him reaching for his signature catchphrases. Meanwhile, the stunning coastal destination of Cabo San Lucas contributed 3 restaurants to the mix, proving that this beach town delivers much more than just ocean views.
These Mexican gems represent the heart and soul of authentic regional cooking—family recipes passed down through generations, locally sourced ingredients, and the kind of bold, unapologetic flavors that made Guy fall in love with each kitchen he visited. Whether you’re craving street-style tacos or traditional mole, these 7 restaurants showcase why Mexico remains one of the world’s greatest culinary destinations.
