1. Mango’s Mexican & American Grill
Mango’s offers all those traditional Mexican meals we all love, but they also have some unique offerings as well, including one of their signature meals, Camarones a la Diabla. This spicy shrimp dish is innovative and one of the most popular on the menu, but it’s not the only exclusive specialty you’ll find. The hard part is deciding which to try first! Mango’s Mexican & American Grill features a full bar and is open late on Friday and Saturday.
2. Plaza Azteca
Plaza Azteca blends traditional Mexican fare with new and innovative cuisine, from chicken and steak to chef specialties and even vegetarian options.

You won’t find better tequila tasting in town and they know their stuff, helping you find a drink that suits your tastes perfectly. You can stop by for a casual night out or schedule a larger event.

In addition to fantastic food, Vinyl Taco shows off their love of all things musical. You must be 21 to dine here, as the restaurant has a bar-type vibe that’s suited more for adults than families.
8. Taco Shop
The original Taco Shop opened its doors in 1961. Since then, three more locations have been added so you can enjoy your favorite fast-casual Mexican fare no matter where you are in town. Over the years, what hasn’t changed are the recipes for their original hot sauce and taco meat that make the Taco Shop signature flavor unique and well-loved in Fargo. Grab a grinder for takeout, dine-in, or even order your catering service for your next big event.
9. Red Pepper
The menu at Red Pepper hasn’t changed since the restaurant opened in 1961. With four locations around North Dakota and one location here in Fargo, the Red Pepper is a popular eatery offering tacos and tostadas as well as delicious grinders. You can have any grinder or their famous homemade sauces shipped nationwide. Out of town and missing your local grinders? Red Pepper has you covered. They also sponsor the Grand Forks Youth Hockey Association and related events, so you can always check in on home games.
10. Pancheros Mexican Grill
There’s nothing quite like homemade tortillas, and every tortilla at Pancheros Mexican Grill is made from scratch, starting with fresh dough. Chefs take this spin on fresh Mexican food even further by cutting out all fryers and freezers from their restaurant. Every meal is made fresh from the freshest ingredients.
