My partner and I are moving to Roanoke just before their 21st birthday. They love Mexican food, and really want to have the full Mexican restaurant experience by enjoying a bomb ass margarita. What’s the best place for that? They’re also a vegetarian, so preferably somewhere with good veggie options! But mostly the bomb ass margarita.

As a vegetarian who loves Mexican…I can’t really tell you. The places I’ve found have been decent Tex mex and I’ve had some enjoyable margarhettas but nothing bomb ass good. Hopefully someone else will tell us both where to go.
Pancho in Vinton has decent drinks and a Mexican buffet which I didn’t know I needed in my life. Lots of Hispanics at the Linch buffet so that’s a good sign.
El rancho viejo in Vinton is probably the best Mexican I’ve had in Roanoke
La casa del burrito in Vinton is your authentic Mexican food. Don’t think they have margaritas but they make amazing burritos.
Alejandro’s downtown is probably the fanciest place. I haven’t been but it would be a great date night. Lots to do around there.
El rio on electric had the best drinks of the places I’ve gone. I don’t remember the food but that may be because of the drinks.
El Rancho is no more sadly. Got taken over by Tacos Rojas but agreed El Rancho was one of my favorites back in the day!
