An authentic Mexican Food experience.
About us
Hernandez Mexican Food is our family’s restaurant. Our name originated from our grandma’s last name. We started as a food truck on Dayton Mountain, and many folks knew us as Mountain Mexican Food.
Our restaurant has grown into an amazing place we like to call home on top of Dayton Mountain. We planted our roots back in 2009 on the Mountain. We have been incredibly blessed since we started.
Our customers are like family to us. We strive for each customer to feel welcome and love our food.
Mountain Favorites
A few of our fan favorites
Tacos de birria
Available only Friday-Sunday!
​
The beef we use to make our Birria tacos is tender and shredded. Every tortilla is drenched in a delicious broth and pan-fried with cheese that has melted just right. Tacos are served with cilantro, onions, and lime. They also come with a side dish of consome broth for dipping.
Talk about authentic Mexican food!
Aguas frescas
If you know, you know.
Our fresh-flavored waters, made with real fruit, are all the hype! We have a different flavor just about every day so we recommend you try our water of the day. The mountain's favorite is pineapple water.
