50 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near Bayonne

“Bubbakoo's Burritos is a fantastic spot for fresh, customizable Mexican fusion dishes. The staff is friendly, and the service is quick, making it perfect for a casual meal. Highly recommend their burritos and signature "Chiwawa"!“

“Came here with friends who are locals because this is one of their favorite spots. The restaurant itself is small and very well decorated to fit the tex-mex theme.

We thought service was okay - we ordered chips and queso, 2-3 tacos per person, and later some corn bread. It felt like we watched tables who ordered after us all get their chips first while ours came out slow with no spacing between the appetizer and tacos.

For the food, the flavor of the beer queso was very good. I tried the bean and cheese taco and chicken verde taco which were equally 4/5. The star of the show was the tortillas which were excellent. We also had the cornbread which was a very good balance of sweet and salty between the caramelized walnuts and salty butter.

My wife had the barbacoa taco and papas tacos which were both only okay taste wise . They do really loaf up all the tacos with a large amount of filling which is nice.

We were a bit confused when asked about allergens - we mentioned that my wife has a peanut allergy to the server and their response was if it is okay for there to be potential cross contamination where peanuts could get into the dish on a shared prep space, which is not our general familiarity with cross contamination risk, this would just be containing peanuts. We were confused how to answer and they did tell the kitchen about the allergy for us but my wife was eating nervously the whole time waiting to see if she would have a reaction or not. More confidence in the answer from the server would have helped.

I’d come back for the quesadillas and corn bread.

The bathroom is clean, make sure to respect the pillsburry dough man tribute 🙃! (see photos)“

“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!“

“The service & food were great 😃👍🏻“

“Good service, good live music.“

“I loved the modern place, open if you want outside or inside, there are two environments or rooms, there is no happy hour, it is not very economical, the divine drinks even the virgin versions are divine, the service is very good, the shrimp meat nachos are also divine, the salads, I liked everything 👍“

“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 food was fresh, but it didn't wow me, and it's not inexpensive. Service was quick, and the waiters were very friendly. The backyard patio is nice, and the interior has a nice "tex-mex vibe" that's atypical 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!“

“good chilaquiles in the city“

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

“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!!!!!!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“awesome menu items great service“

“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 :)“

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

“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.“

“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 !“

“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.“

“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 ❤️‍🩹“

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

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

“Fantastic frozen margaritas and piña coladas. The food is pretty good too, especially the fried stuff like the chimichangas and the Taco Salad that comes in a deep fried bowl. The entrees are served with generous sides too so a dish is enough to feed a 6'5" 220lb man-walrus.“

“Love the food, and ordering is quick and to the point. Never a mistake on my order and the price is very affordable especially for our current economic state. Absolutely love this establishment. Seems like inflation hasn’t effected here and I’m grateful.“

“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 🌯“

“Liked. Good food great atmosphere“

“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.“

“Yummy Wings is a Solid choice for Quality and taste when you're in the mood for something past the drive thru Burger. The restaurant is basically geared for takeout but there are counters and stools if you're on a stroll for lunch break .The menu is more than Wings . Fried rice and Teriyaki are featured and recommended. The wings are always cooked fresh .So they're hot and tasty, (Note: this requires an online order, a call in or a short wait. ) Favorites are Lemon pepper or Garlic pepper and either one in the honey drizzled version. I Highly recommend this location its become one of my favorite choices .“

“I discovered this gem through a mutual friend and it's now my go-to Mexican spot! The prices are incredibly affordable, and the staff is exceptionally friendly. It feels like a family-owned business, which adds to its charm. I always opt for the delicious tacos or fajitas!“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Great place. Great music 🎶 and very cozy! The food is always good.

Vegetarian options: A variety of veggies are available

Kid-friendliness: Yes, kids eat free on Sundays

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“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.“

“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 had some fantastic food here, very comfortable atmosphere and great service, thank you“

“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.“

“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“

“Buen ambiente me gusta siempre“
