Basil Mexican Food

It is absolutely unbelievable to me that there was not a line out the door and around the corner for this place. OUTSTANDING food. My little guy and I split the Quesabirria combo after seeing a photo of the dish posted here that made our tummies growl. It came out incredibly fast and was piping hot. It was cooked to perfection- crispy outside, super tender meat, gooey cheese. The birria consomé was so flavorful and not super greasy like some I've tried at other places. I could've just drunk the consumé by itself! lol It wasn't spicy at all- my 6-year-old downed his taco and I ordered him another. I was also offered their salsas and got a green one- really tasty. The rice and beans were on point too and I'm a snob about my rice and beans lol It takes a lot for me to be happy with them! The

easy to like, easy to miss; hidden in the corner and definitely more mexican-forward, i came at an odd hour and tragically missed out on the tiramisu, but the beef enchiladas in green sauce made for a lovely meal with its buttery-tender tortillas and smokey-savoury barbacoa filling 👌 and them avocado slices were just the perfect add-on, loved those too. the green sauce itself was rather shy in flavour, but the rice and beans were seasoned hella rich and a nice partner to the complimentary salsa's extra tang! generous portions, local-vibe ambiance, and a dashingly-attentive owner that was a joy to chat with, really the best spot to recharge at after running some errands near the towne center plaza 🔋

The best Mexican food spot in Lakewood is Basil Pizza and Mexican Food, don't let the pizza name fool you. The are focusing now on what they do best the Mexican side of the menu and were NOT disappointed. First up: The Birria Taco Plate. Juicy, savory, and the dipping consommé is mandatory. Then, these vibrant Red Chilaquiles with the perfect egg on top. And for the brunch classic: Killer Huevos Rancheros with red and green sauce. Serious Mexican food game. Go check them out!

Just came here to eat last night and everything was delicious! The cashier was so kind and attentive. She informed us the meat is cooked fresh so it does take a bit longer for it to come out but well worth the wait. I tried the California burrito with carne asada and the torta. Both were excellent and I’ll be coming back!

I've been driving past this place for a few weeks now and finally made it a point to stop in. The location is small and simple with 2 tables inside and 2 outside but is very clean and appealing. Tried the Asada Torta and it was oh so good! Reminded me of my family's homemade food . You can absolutely tell the ingredients are all fresh and I plan to come back to try their other options. One thing to note is that they no longer do their pizza/Italian style items, only Mexican food menu. Service was quick and friendly. Highly recommend supporting this local, family run business! You won't be disappointed.
