50 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near Bayonne

“The cauliflower nachos were great except for the pineapple salsa. The pineapple salsa was in the tiny clear cup. It was so small that it barely went on four nachos. And there were some amazing cauliflower nachos! Maybe add a bit more salsas to bigger cups. Thanks! 😊“

“I've been here 4 or 5 times. The quality of food and service is inconsistent, so it's hit or miss. However, when the carne guisada isn't overcooked and they serve it with enough chile gravy, it's one of the best things I've ever eaten.“

“omg Sophia was absolutely amazing! She catered to alllll my allergies. And it was my boy's bday and she made it extra special. Totally recommend to anyone in Chelsea!“

“good chilaquiles in the city“

“Love it here! Quality, authentic spot! Been coming for over a decade. The waiter, Kevin, is super nice, fast service, and knowledgeable about the menu (and tequilas!). Atmosphere both indoors and outdoors is vibey and adds to a memorable experience (look at photos). A celebratory spot, but not too loud. Nicely balanced for all occasions! My favs are the ground beef tacos, 8-mile high nachos, the guac, and sweet plantains (I recommend with sour cream!).“

“The service & food were great 😃👍🏻“

“Good service, good live music.“

“This is the best brunch in the neighborhood and the staff is the friendliest in the city (shoutout Eddie). Everything is perfect but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back the pumpkin pancakes this fall!!! I’ve been coming here for 15 years and those were the best pancakes I’ve ever had. See you soon!!“

“This is one of our favorite places to PLAY MUSIC in the city, and we love it so much... we go there on our off nights, too, just to hang out. There's always a friendly scene and the food, drink, and atmosphere are unbeatable. Top 1 place in NYC.“

“Both delivery and dine in was a wonderful experience. Thalia is wonderful and friendly. Their food is fresh and authentic. Highly recommend their tacos, tortas, and drinks. If you order via Ubereats, they have bogo deals so you can grab 2 tacos for less than $6!“

“I always enjoy Chili’s. It’s a family favorite.“

“Superb birria and chicken tacos! With veggie / vegan options. Delicious chips. Fresh salsa. Fast and friendly service. 2 street tables. Wonderfull dinner, not too heavy, slightly messy but really really great! 3 tacos are filling for 1 person.“

“I love coming here! There's a little hidden room in the back with seating... The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is DELICIOUS!!! Sometimes I just stop in for a chai and a croissant... Sometimes I sit and have a meal.. either way, Minias never disappoints!! OMG try their banana oatmeal!!!!!!!!!“

“awesome menu items great service“

“The food is AMAZING!!! I love the tortilla soup ❤️“

“We ordered carnita tacos and the presentation was very good, although the meat was a little too salty, you could eat it, the atmosphere is like a bar where you can go to talk with friends but it is also familiar. In conclusion it is nothing wow but it is not the worst either so you can pass on the customer service is good.“

“They never disappoint. I’m always here for Mexican and Chinese food. Although I will say if they sealed their burritos by frying the tortilla and added a little bit more meat then I would give it a 10 out of 10. There Chinese food always hits.“

“I ordered the nachos, tacos, soup, and a burrito bowl — and everything was absolutely amazing! The nachos were perfectly crisp with just the right amount of toppings. The tacos were packed with flavor and super fresh, and the soup was comforting and well-seasoned. But the real standout was the burrito bowl — hearty, delicious, and full of bold flavors. You can tell the ingredients were high quality and made with care. Everything arrived hot and neatly packaged. I’ll definitely be ordering again — highly recommend this place if you’re craving flavorful, satisfying food!“

“the breakfast food was good 👍🏽 😋“

“Parked on 19th Street from Mon–Fri, and on Governors Island at the weekends, this Mexican-food food truck serves up tasty tacos and such. I loved the cecina (salted beef) taco with its tender, flavourful slices of meat, chopped cilantro & onion, and avocado crema. The chicken taco was well-seasoned and tender, too. Two tacos was a perfect lunch. The empanadas are of the fried, short-pastry-style, and pretty large.Kind staff who know how to deal patiently with indecisive tourists, too :)“

“been coming here for a real long time. there isn't a better place to get a decent burger around. burritos are good too(chipotle on 65 is terrible in comparison). it's a mom and pop shop that can definitely miss on some foods but it's one of the best value/foods around with inflation and all. they need to put a little more detail in how they make their food but definitely go for the burritos/combos burgers as others have stated.“

“My favorite go-to place for chicken wings. It’s mostly to-go place but they have a counter and couple of tables too. Can’t tell about other dishes but their garlic soy wings one of the best I ever tried. This place is a vital for supplying neighborhood with quality wings!“

“Last night I took my wife and three children here for a bite to eat. We were greeted upon entering which is always nice to be acknowledged as a patron. The two men behind the counter were preparing orders already but they were quick. We were ordering withing two minutes. Christian and Rafael were their names. They were so attentive and efficient we had our food within minutes. We sat down and started eating and the food was out of this world. Then they brought out churros on the house that the kids loved. They were so kind. You don't see that a lot anymore. Especially in fast food places. The place was spotless. Very clean and welcoming. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good Quesadilla, tacos or burritos. And the prices are very good!!! Thank you Christian and Rafael for the wonderful experience.“

“Best place in Staten Island to have your Breakfast/ lunch/ Dinner. The food is super healthy and delicious! A lot of variety! The owners are very kind and generous, they serve good portions and also serves very fresh ingredients! They work very hard to keep the place clean! It’s important, that’s like the first thing I’d see when I walk in to a place that serves food. I always go there, every week! It’s the best $10-$20 I spend!“

“*adding to my original review* Calexico did not ask me to edit my review. I really appreciate great customer service and the Calexico team provided just that! We were invited to give them a second chance so my friend and I revisited today. We were met with a sincere apology for our prior experience as well as provided stellar service. It’s not everyday that a business goes out of their way to show care to their customers in the way Calexico has!
Food wise, the churros were amazing and the barbacoa (tacos and burrito) delicious.

*original experience* My pregnant friend and I ordered the burrito lunch special today. We asked to substitute the beer with something else as my friend is pregnant and I’m breastfeeding and had my infant with us. The waitress informed us that we could not substitute the beer that comes with the burrito special for an alternate drink so we accepted it and went without a drink for our meal. When the bill came, we were surprised to find that we were charged with the full price of the burrito alone when we had specified ordering the special. The waitress did not tell us ahead of time that we couldn’t order the special without ordering a beer. We explained our situation and why we couldn’t drink the beer to the manager and she was quite rude saying we saw the price of the burrito on the menu when we ordered as well as the special being there to help their beer sales. We even asked if we could give the beer that came with our meal to someone else in the restaurant and she said no. We were very confused and surprised of this treatment considering the family friendly neighborhood and medically not being able to drink for the safety of our babies.“

“bartenders are wonderful and Barbara is doing a great job of managing“

“Food was delicious but if you have a dairy allergy beware of the butter used in the rice and vegetables!!!!“

“This place is a gem !
They’re open until 2 am so if you got the munchies and want some pupusas or tacos or a drink this is a good place to go or order out from. The pupusas are amazing and they got masa de arroz, which I personally like way more than maíz. If it’s just pupusas you can eat with like 10 bucks. The drinks do add up. Give them a try !“

“some of the best Mexican food I've had in nyc, simple , quite , true to the core. I got the Puebla Burrito - A flour tortilla filled with stewed chicken, rice, beans, cream Topped with mole sauce and melted cheese. It was savory and perfect with the beans and chicken, I added spicy 🌶️ sauce to make it perfect for me. If you want great burrito 🌯come this way 🌯“

“This place is been for almost 20 years with a perfect food quality and amazing flavor, the grade isn’t fair and totally trust this place regardless the grade it is, definitely will recommend you to try the food as quality and taste, stand with empire Taco China all Bensonhurst know ❤️‍🩹“

“I miss there a lot. I never had problems with the food. I remember playing Marvel vs Capcom back in the early 2000s. Why people are criticizing the food? People should enjoy it and respect the food. I left Staten Island summer 2015. Someday I will come back to visit there.“

“Liked. Good food great atmosphere“

“Nice bar, good selection, billiards and darts.“

“Great food! we go every time we are in the city.“

“This place is right around the corner from where I live. Moved here about a year ago and was curious, finally ordered some burritos and wow, they were excellent and huge. The price was decent considering the price of all food is up lately. Not disappointed. Will definately order again and tell people about it“

“First time here and I have to say the food is very good. In my opinion, better than Chipotle. Very tasty as well as Large portions.“

“My son and I stumbled upon Burrito Mariachi while on vacation. I had my doubts as it had Asian type in the front window, but they specialize in Tex Mex and they do it REALLY well. We have decided to visit much more frequently during our vacation. We tried the steak burrito bowl and the steak was so tender and flavorful, it felt like back home. The bowl was layered with rice, black beans, lettuce, guacamole, pico and a dash of sour cream. If you like Tex Mex, give it a try.“

“Great food and wonderful owners and staff! My favorite fajita and guacamole!“

“buena comida los mejores tacos del área“

“This is an amazing place to get food, the people are very nice and they were very fast in making everything. They accommodated me when I used two types of payment and even gave me extra sauce and paper plates when I asked. If you're in the area and would love some great Chinese food from very neighborhood friendly people, swing by Dragon Garden!“

“Our server Jason G. Was amazing, he helped my son n I with our meal selections and what great choices. the beef short rib tacos with the aujus sauce was so juicy and flavorful. And the burger my son said was delicious n packed full of flavor along with his chez fries! Our fresh quac and chips was great with my passion fruit Marg! Jason was very kind and chatted with my boy about our trip into the city and made sure to take great care of him and his time at dos carminos! Thank you Jason G for treating us like family !! our next trip to the city we will be back to visit again!!“

“The food is good and the delivery is great. You can except your food to be delivered quickly. The only thing is that the women who takes your order over the phone doesn’t speak or understand English. My orders are always wrong. Either she forgets to pack my sodas or I’m missing things. Make her repeat your order always!!“

“la comida y la atención y buena mercancía.. los precios regular“

“Asked for a torta with enchilada pork at 8:30 am. They quickly and efficiently accommodated a request they likely don’t get at that hour. The torta was absolutely excellent and I’ve had a hundred or more after overtime a decade in so cal and Mexico. They do it right. Will be back.“

“Just went to Mercado Ariana for lunch, and loved it. We had the mixed fajitas, and the amazing chicken empanadas. The margarita was also delicious.“

“great food and fast service. Friendly staff. amazing prices“

“I've walked past this restaurant many times, didn't even think to try it. My wife brought me in, I'm so glad that we went. Inside is a cute quaint restaurant with about 7 to 8 tables. We ordered the birria tacos, gorditas and the soupa de res. It was all absolutely delicious. The flavors to the ingredients, everything is of good quality. The staff is friendly, service is good. We'll be back very soon“

“First time here - my daughter wanted tacos and I found this place on Google Maps. Clean and cute restaurant and all of the staff smiled and were very kind. Sadly my Spanish is not good but I was able to give my order and it was exactly what I had in mind. Steak tacos were good! The chips were also good and fresh. The guacamole was our favorite- delicious! Looking forward to coming back again!“
