Among pensacola Mexican food it is the best. I like the chimichanga and the house made chips are really good. If you're expecting San Diego quality Mexican, you will be slightly disappointed. But it is a dream to find California caliber Mexican here. Also, the service is great.

I reluctantly spent 6 months in Pensacola. Discovering Cazadores was pretty much the only good thing that came out of it. It is easy to drive past, it looks like a hole and the inside could use some renovating, but the food alone makes this place deserving of all 5 stars. I am a native San Diegan so i know a thing or two about good Mexican food!! The pico de gallo that is served with the chips and salsa is amazing!! I am sort of a chorizo connoisseur, I try it everywhere i can. The chorizo con huevos here is the best I've ever had, and it isn't greasy like it usually is pretty much everywhere else, yet still full of flavor!! Everything I've ordered tasted great. If you find yourself in the area you have to stop in and try it!!

Milky queso, pre-mixed margaritas, mushy rice and a terrible dinning area. However the wait staff is nice.

We just love Cazadores! Having lived in Texas, finally have found good mexican food in pensacola. Rodriguez enchaladas with steak are great. Fairfield is the best location.

Food was great!! Building sucked!!! I was told to sit where ever, when I chose a spot the waiter said "I wouldn't sit there, the AC leaks all over this table". Really....fix it!!! Place was really dirty, makes me think what the kitchen looks like! Waiter was just in street clothing nothing nice, some chucks, jeans and t shirt. So again my food was really good but I'm not going back out of fear of what the kitchen looks like. Maybe I'm being crazy but all I want is a restaurant that has good food and doesn't look like hell. Dust your fake plants once in a while and clean all the chunks of dried food off of the thing holding the almost empty bottle of hot sauces that looks like a science project gone wrong. I didn't see your two waiters doing any thing but sitting around, give them a duster and a bottle if windex!

This is a good choice if you are looking for a no frills good tasting Mexican dining experience. Being from California and eating Mexican food has been a huge disappointment in Pensacola so far with the exception being Cactus Cafe. I ordered the Carne Asada burrito with very low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised when my meal actually had real carne asada in it. The decor was fledging but I expect that to tip me off that I gonna get the hole in the wall experience. The service was excellent and prompt. I did not give them five stars because it was my first time and I believe you have to run the menu through a couple of options before you "give up the goods". But I feel four is mighty generous. This is now my backup for the cactus on weekends.

A bit of a dive but it is pretty good. Wish they had carnitas though, but the shredded beef chimichangas were awesome. I always judge a Mexican restaurant by its Spanish rice (I'm looking at you taco bell! Don't call yourself Mexican if you don't have it) and theirs was pretty good. All I have to say is don't judge a book by its cover because even though they look closed, they have something good to offer.

Of the 4 Mexican Restaurants I've visited in Pensacola, this one has the best food. However, it's pricey for what you get. My buddy got he nachos and for $10 the plate should have been overflowing. Instead, it was more like a layer of chips with toppings added. It would have been acceptable for $6. The other thing is that I did not see a bar and did not notice margaritas on the menu (I wasn't looking though.) For good cheap margarita specials, I suggest Monterrey's on Mobile Hwy although the food is quite mediocre! @the vegetarian chick: seriously? You think you're going to find refried beans without lard at a Mexican restaurant? You might better stick with Moe's or Chipotle.

This is authentic Mexican food! The service is fast and friendly. Hubby usually gets the chimichanga and I get tacos and enchiladas. The ground beef they use is very flavorful and not greasy. The shredded beef they use for the chimichanga is tasty, and juicy. The salsa is homemade and so is the pico de gallo. Don't be put off by the outside, but go in and try the food. You won't be disappointed.

If you're a vegetarian, DO NOT EAT HERE. Their menu has a vegetarian section with non-vegetarian food. The beans contain lard. I don't get it... why would a restaurant label something vegetarian if they don't even know what the definition of the term is? They're just asking for a lawsuit from someone with food allergies or religious beliefs. The place, from the outside, looks very run down. After driving here, we almost didn't even go in, it was that bad. The only good thing I'll say is the server was polite.

Great Mexican Restaurant in West Pensacola. They make their horchata from scratch and looks like they have this amazing margarita concoction. I had their chicken flautas which were incredible but I was really impressed with their rice and beans, which seemed to be truly authentic. If you're on this side of town make sure to stop in for a filling meal that won't break the bank.

Great food but a little pricy for what you get. My daughter and I shared shrimp fajitas, my husband got fajitas, and my son got a kids meal and it was $54. Three of us drank water and my daughter had a tea. It was very good though!

The food was fresh and fantastic. It is definitely a hole in the wall mom and pop kinda place. The service was great too. Definitely would go back.

If the food wasn't so good I would've rated it 2 stars. The service was bad & my husband found a chicken bone in his taco!

This is our local "go to" Mexican restaurant. It's a solid mom and pop restaurant with decent Mexican food. The owners are always nice and cheerful. The food isn't over the top outstanding but it's not horrible either, which is just good enough for nights when we don't want to cook.

Great food, not over seasoned or salty, and friendly staff. Portions are not very large but the food is very filling so don't let that dissuade you.

This is the best Mexican in Pensacola. The building is a complete dump and the bathroom is hideous but the food was good. The white queso dip was some of the best I have had and the beef enchiladas were very tasty. Service was also nice. But seriously, the place needs a serious makeover.

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
