Tex-Mex Restaurants near Jersey City

“I have only ordered delivery from Bubby’s. The food is delicious and I am obsessed with the Vampiro Juice 🧛‍♀️ The salsa verde is beautifully made. The tres leches is to die for. Today they forgot my tres leches in my Seamlwss order. I called to request it be sent over because I’m I love with it and they sent someone over shortly after. Wonderful people, wonderful food. Love you, Bubby’s!!!“

“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)“

“Great food! Best margaritas!“

“Good service, good live music.“

“The service & food were great 😃👍🏻“

“Called by today to get a drink and a bite to eat. The welcome was warm and the drinks cold and refreshing! We weren’t going to order any food to begin with but the menu looked lovely and didn’t disappoint.“

“Comida deliciosa y conveniente! Ha tenido varias cosas: burritos, wraps, quesadillas, platillos, y postres. Servicio es amable para cumplir solicitudes particulares si es necesario. Buen servicio de a domicilio! Delicious and convenient food! Have had various items: burritos, wraps, quesadillas, platters, and desserts. Service is helpful for any special requests if needed. Delivery service is great as well!“

“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 👍“

“The food and service were great! During a very busy Saturday night with reservation, we had to wait 10 minutes for our table. It was noisy due to a large party. Food was great! The maître d was very pleasant, apologized and gave us a complementary appetizer. She has great business skills. Will definitely recommend this place.“

“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.“

“Food is delicious and affordable.“

“It's a nice chill spot for a couple or group of friends. The food is really good and it comes to your table quickly. The people are very nice. They also have take out..there is street parking and a rest room. Wheel chairs are ok since it's on the street level. With no ramp. And small outdoor dining space

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes a wheelchair can get into the place. It's ground level, no steps. They can dine-in or take out.“

“Really nice spot for friends or families to gather for delicious meals with ok drinks. I and my husband went there for a date. We really enjoyed our meal, atmosphere and music. What I did not like was the location of the bathroom and the waiters showing up every few minutes to offer us water, refill the water, or asking if everything was ok other than that I will continue going back there to eat and enjoy the music. I highly recommend this place without hesitation to go out with family, your girls, your buddies, or by yourself . There is amply seating inside and outside. There is no parking lot, only street parking, public transportation is 1 block away which is the 67 and ( 41 bus ( both the limited and local bus stops there) then you have the B and Q trains, there are Dollar vans that cost $2.00 you can take from downtown on livingstone st If you use a wheelchair you will be accompanied. Ok, so now go eat , drink, and be merry.

Vegetarian options: Trust me, you will not be hungry there.?

Parking: Parking on the street, depending on the time or where you park, pay attention to the Meter.

Wheelchair accessibility: You will be accommodated.“

“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.“

“Came here for lunch and everything was delicious! The steak bowl is my favorite- it even comes with guacamole 🥑 the chicken tinga and al pastor tacos were delicious! I also love the horchata- the large is very big :) it is enough for 2 people to share. They also have a beautiful, spacious seating area :) the food is flavorful and service is amazing! Jonathan is super friendly which made my experience spectacular! This is definitely a hidden gem in Brooklyn ☺️“

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

“Food was delicious, we especially liked the chips + guac and corn appetizers. Vibe was fine, music was fine upon entry but cranked up half way through our meal for no apparent reason. Server didn't ask if we wanted a salted rim (we always assume a margarita will include??). On our second round we requested a tahin rim after we noticed other patrons with it. Bartender was making out with her boyfriend as we were on our way out and that was weird. We would return for the food and can overlook the other things because it really was delish.“

“good chilaquiles in the city“

“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.“

“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 !“

“I love this place! The staff is so friendly and accommodating. Brett the server is the best!! He it's attentive, patient, kind, fast with taking and bringing the orders and he checks to see if the order is satisfactory and if anything else is needed. I appreciate this kind of service especially after a hard day at work. Also, my friends and family members have expressed great gratitude for being treated so well. The food prices can't be beat, the quality and quantity is great, well worth every penny. The friendly and happy atmosphere is very welcoming and enjoyable. I feel at home here. I highly recommend Chevy's in Clifton to everyone I know. Thank you so much for all the hard work and dedication to providing excellent customer service and delicious food!! Love it.“

“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 :)“

“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!!!!!!!!!“

“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.“

“We came here on the recommendation of a friend and even with her glowing review, we were still blown away! Every dish was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and the prices were a steal. Our family had the truffle quesadillas, the carne asada tacos, and the langosta tacos. We shared an order of guac and the kids had the flan and churros for dessert. Great dinner; we can't wait to return!“

“I recently dined at this Chinese restaurant, and it was an exceptional experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality. The ambiance was inviting, with elegant decor and a cozy atmosphere.Now, let's talk about the food. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece. The flavors were authentic, and the ingredients were fresh. I couldn't get enough of their food; the dumplings were perfectly steamed, the orange chicken is immaculate and the variety was impressive.The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who were happy to recommend dishes and ensure we had everything we needed. The menu had a wide range of options to cater to various tastes and dietary preferences.Overall, this restaurant deserves a solid 5-star rating for its outstanding food, welcoming ambiance, and top-notch service. It's a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic Chinese dining experience.“

“Let me tell you, I never write reviews but this places deserved it! Bronson took care of me, my husband and mother in law and we had the best experience. Fantastic tacos, guacamole, salsa and chips! Thanks again and we can’t wait to visit next time we’re in nyc.“

“the breakfast food was good 👍🏽 😋“

“Not only are the fajitas nicely stuffed with a good amount of meat chunks and onions and (non-spicy green) peppers, but the meat is always fairly soft and even juicy despite being well-done! The ground-meat filling in the chili tacos are surprisingly salty, however -- and I love salt! Large chunks of cubed tomatoes, though, so that's good. Unfortunately, the salsa is fairly bad...rather like watered-down tomato paste!! The pan-fried dumplings are them overly thick-skinned affairs all the other Chinese restaurants of this kind (neighborhood chop-suey type joint) offer, but their evidently "home-made" soy sauce that accompanies each order is rather good, with a touch of sugar and red chilli pepper (and maybe even a hint of vinegar) for a bit of a nice unexpected kick... certainly not something straight out of a store-bought bottle! Clean and fairly spacious, too, so it's nice to simply dine in.“

“awesome menu items great service“

“Food is delicious and affordable.“

“I love Calexico! I come here regularly with friends and family and am never disappointed. I recommend the barbacoa quesadilla (the caramelized onions are excellent) and any of the burrito bowls. Calexico's food AND drinks are good, which I appreciate. Any of their frozen margs are wonderful. The paloma is delicious as well. The service is consistent and kind. The outdoor seating on the sidewalk is a little crowded but that's not their fault, it's just the location. Inside is lovely.“

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

“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 had one of their tacos for the first time today and it was indeed Delicious!“

“Incredible food with great service! One of the hidden gems in NYC!“

“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.“

“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.“

“some of the best Mexican food I've had in nyc

I got green burrito and it was smothered in sauce. I also asked for cheese and it had a good helping of it. it's also cheap for the area. my new go to theater eats ngl instead of bland pizza all the time. they have good to go packaging. salsa is very flavorful and spicy

churro was addicting.

Vegetarian options: good veggie options and they do substitutions“

“Liked. Good food great atmosphere“

“My girlfriend and I decided to venture out for some tacos and thought we would try a new place in our area. The host/server were very friendly and took the time to explain the menu, including the sauces and their spice levels. They even provided us with samples to try. Overall, it was a great place for dinner, and the tacos, especially the birria tacos, were delicious and fresh.“

“Their Mexican food is really good. It isn't authentic; however, it's still very delicious. The service is absolutely to notch. If you're near Brooklyn College area, come to Nostrand and Ave I, get some Didi's. It's delicious. You're welcome.“

“I recently visited Bubbakoos Burritos and had an incredible experience! The food was absolutely delicious! The friendly service given by Ana made my visit even more enjoyable. A special thanks to Ana for her excellent suggestions, which made choosing from their amazing menu much easier.

If you're looking for a place with great food and a welcoming atmosphere, I definitely recommend Bubbakoos Burritos!“

“Loved it! Guacamole with fried plantains was delicious. I had the steak with garlic shrimp, very good. My friends enjoyed their dishes too. Drinks were also great- I had the Cucumber Margarita with Don Julio & it was very refreshing on a hot summer day. Trendy atmosphere and cool murals. Service was wonderful- friendly, attentive & knowledgeable. Will definitely be back.“

“Best service. Best food.“

“Never disappoints! Order from here once a week and its always good :)

Vegetarian options: They offer Broccoli and white rice combos etc.

Kid-friendliness: They have a children's menu and if you are a picky eater, they can customize the platter to your liking !“

“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!“
