33 Mexican and Tex-Mex places in Columbus, Georgia, from Uptown taquerias to Veterans Parkway, Macon Road and South Lumpkin Road, with hours from their own sites.
Last checked Oct. 6, 2026. Refreshed every three months.
Mexican food in Columbus is spread across the city. Sit-down restaurants sit along Veterans Parkway and Whittlesey Boulevard on the north side; taquerias cluster on South Lumpkin Road, Forrest Road and Victory Drive; and Broadway and Banks Food Hall cover Uptown.
How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside the Columbus city limits, the same records behind our local business directory, checked against each place’s own website on Oct. 6, 2026. We added Mexigrill, Sapo’s, Taqueria Tapatios and Vallarta from their own sites, and places marked † from the Georgia Department of Public Health inspection database, which confirms each had a food service inspection at that address in 2026. We take hours only from a place’s own site, so † places show none. Food trucks are left out. The list is alphabetical; it is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it.
