Mexican and Tex-Mex restaurants in Rock Hill

Last checked Oct. 12, 2026. Refreshed every three months.

Rock Hill’s Mexican restaurants run from Old Town, where Ay Papi and Rock Taco are both on East Main Street, to Riverwalk, home to Tony’s Cantina, and out along Cherry Road, Herlong Avenue and Dave Lyle Boulevard, where most of the sit-down cantinas and the fast-casual chains are.

How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside Rock Hill, the same data behind our local directory, checked against each place’s own website on Oct. 12, 2026. We added the other 13 from the state’s SC Food Grades inspection database; where we found no website of its own, a 2026 inspection record confirms the restaurant is operating at that address. We left off the four Taco Bell drive-throughs and food trucks and counters that share an address with another business. The list is alphabetical. It is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. Run one of these places? Write to us to correct your entry.
