Hands down the best Mexican food in town. Super authentic, insanely good flavors, and all made by a sweet family that clearly loves what they do. Feels like a home-cooked meal every time. Total gem!

Very friendly staff :) The portions sizes were great for the price! I got the carne asada fries and the sauce they were smothered with was super tasty, lots of meat as well, the rest was your normal carne asada fries. The burrito was good, just very heavy on the rice and light on everything else. And the quesabirria tacos were good, not enough cheese. Overall, good place for the price but nothing super special.

I came in today with my dad just by chance after I did a Google search. My dad had the Pozole and I had the Chili Relleno plate. Both were very delicious. As well as the chips and salsa. All were homemade. The salsa, chips, rice, beans were definitely not premade. The Chili Relleno I got was made with a Poblamo pepper. Everywhere I've had Mexican cuisine, NM, AZ, CA, TX, they've only used Anaheim or Hatch green chile which would be either bland or very Hot. No flavor. But at Taqueria Lemus it was Delicious. It had Flavor. Even the cheese stuffing complimented the pepper. I will definitely go back and try other items from the menu. Also their desserts look sinfully good. (Sorry the picture of the desserts is not the best, so I guess you will have to just stop by and see for yourself )

I know it's been awhile since I've came here can you give this place another try because I love their food and dang I can't believe it says delicious as the first time I came here the prices for tacos a little bit on the high side I wish they would have a taco plate with beans and rice for about $13 or 14 that would be awesome. Here are some updated pictures of what I ordered I'd have to say this is the best Mexican restaurant here. Small menu to order from but very delicious. The beans and rice are homemade and the taco off the chain. So delicious. I had to order the 2 more plates. Wow, if you haven't tried this place, you definitely need to stop by here.

Nice menu, friendly girls taking your order. Sadly they didn't have the adovada that time. But the birria was good, very tasty compared to so many others I tried and packed with meat. The burrito Colorado was bomb! And the churro cheesecake was super delicious. I'd definitely go back again.

It was my first time eating here, and everything my group ordered was by far delicious. It was the best flavor profile that I've had in a long time. You could really feel the love in the food and taste the ingredients and flavor that was built. I will definitely be eating here again in the future and recommend it to anyone looking for food that has flavor and comfort.

Nestled in the heart of Farmington, New Mexico, Taqueria Lemus is a culinary beacon for lovers of authentic Mexican cuisine. This family-run gem brings more than just food to the table—it offers a heartfelt experience reminiscent of a comforting home-cooked meal. From the moment you step inside, the warmth of the staff and the savory aromas promise a genuine taste of tradition.

The highlight here is the uncompromising dedication to authentic flavors. Take, for example, their Pozole and Chili Relleno plate—both crafted with homemade chips, salsa, rice, and beans, allowing you to savor the true depth of Mexican culinary heritage. The use of a Poblano pepper for the Chili Relleno stands out distinctly, delivering a rich, balanced heat that elevates the dish beyond the typical green chile experience common in New Mexico. The cheese stuffing complements the pepper superbly, creating a symphony of flavor in every bite.

For those seeking indulgence, the carne asada fries have quickly become a fan favorite. Packed generously with tender meat and smothered in a delicious sauce, these fries blend familiar comfort with bold Mexican flair. While some dishes like the burritos may lean heavier on rice, the overall portions respect both heartiness and value, making each visit satisfying.

Taqueria Lemus’s charm also lies in its clean, inviting atmosphere and friendly staff who clearly pour passion into every plate served. Despite a concise menu, each item shows thoughtful preparation and freshness. Their quesabirria tacos, though praised for taste, hint at room for nuance with a bit more cheese, reflecting the kitchen’s openness to constant refinement.

Finally, no visit would be complete without indulging in their tempting homemade desserts—rumored to be sinfully good, they beckon you to return and explore the sweet side of this family’s craft.

In essence, Taqueria Lemus offers an authentic Mexican dining experience filled with rich flavors, generous portions, and genuine hospitality. It’s a must-visit for anyone seeking the true soul of traditional Mexican food served with love in Farmington.
