50 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near Jersey City

“This place is great!!! The ENTIRE family works here.... great people great food“

“Wow!! Amazing service, fantastic food and great vibes! Sat at the bar and had the best time. The bartender was the best. Salsas are delicious and the lemon filled donut was insane 😋 Our biscuit came out raw, waiter noticed before I could say something, took it back to kitchen and brought us a new one. And did not charge us for that!! I really really appreciated the fantastic service from host, bartender and food runners. I will be back!!“

“I was starving and near by and a burrito i knew would cure what ails me.

Got the birria burrito, thing was huge, came with consume and was amazing. Felt like it was made with love. Chips and a coke and I don't need to eat got the rest of the day.

10 out of 10, would totally stop by here again. Not even just because I am starving.“

“We have come here every week for years and it never disappoints—always a five-star experience. As someone from Texas, I can confidently say this is the best Tex-Mex I’ve had outside of Texas. The food is consistently excellent, the staff is warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere is inviting every time. I’ve loved everything I’ve tried, but the white queso and shrimp tacos are absolute standouts.“

“Sheedy was so sweet and thoughtful, took great care of us. Shrimp tacos and chicken tortilla soup were great. They had solid vegan options for friends as well, (vegan kale burrito and vegan sour cream + cheese). Fun vibes and aesthetics without being overly kitschy. Grateful!“

“The service & food were great 😃👍🏻“

“Great food and service. My after work food stop when working late on a Friday at Governors Island.“

“My first visit was last year and yesterday we decided to go again since indoor dining was reopening. We were a group of three, friendly staff and our host went above and beyond at a point that coffee was not in the menu and he made it for us. We ordered margaritas and were on point, fajitas, Mac and cheese, churros, beer, chips with salsa and many other things. Every single thing was good. Me personally never ordered Mac and cheese on a restaurant and I have to go hands down on your chef because that was the best one I’ve had in a while. To everybody: make sure you support local restaurants like this one, and tip well for their service, they really need it and the quality of their service hasn’t go down even on a pandemic. Support Lobo!!!!!“

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!“

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

“My family just tried it today. The burritos were so goood and the kids loved their cheese empanada and churros. Thank you for coming to River Edge!!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Delicious and unique items available on the menu. The staff, food, and environment and overall experience were 10/10. Definitely check it out!“

“Garden Tortillas & Chinese Express never disappoints. The food was amazing — flavorful, fresh, and cooked just right. Every bite was satisfying, and the portions were more than worth it. Whether you’re craving something comforting or bold in flavor, this place delivers. The staff was friendly and efficient, and the food came out fast. Easily one of my go-to spots, and I highly recommend giving it a try!“

“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 !“

“If you're looking for authentic mexican food, steer clear, but that doesnt mean this place is bad. This is tex-mex style, quick and cheap eats with good portions. I love having places like this around when im craving it since ive had it basically my entire life growing up in the area. Its different, but its good. I love the quesadillas and super nachos specifically. I hope this place stays around forever.“

“Great Tacos 🌮 Thank you For your excellent Service“

“happy hour! The food was excellent — you can tell it’s made by someone with authentic Spanish roots. Plenty of parking and the drinks were solid. The guacamole was a bit too salty for our taste, but overall we enjoyed it. For a family of four to eat enough during happy hour, expect to spend around $120, which was the only downside for us. Still a very good experience!“

“Minias is a local, friendly, Uruguayan brunch spot that will have you coming back for more!

They have authentic Uruguayan meals that are delicious, in addition to being cost friendly!

Our server Nicole was polite, quick, and informative with the wide variety of choices on there menu.— The people here care about your experience.

Highly recommend for a quick breakfast/ lunch with friends, family, and casual dates.

Thank you!“

“I’m getting those three stars because I’ve eaten here before and the food was better (had decent burritos here). But today I ordered something different. To be fair, I only ate the nachos which were shared. But they were really bad. The cheese was liquid, the “sour cream“ was liquid, the chips disintegrated. It was worse than a Taco Bell, nacho Bell grande, which can be quite delicious given the right circumstances. I just don’t think there are any circumstances under which he nachos would be acceptable.“

“the breakfast food was good 👍🏽 😋“

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

“was afraid to post this review because places this good should stay secret. the food was incredible. so flavorful and fresh, truly magnificent. would post pictures but the food was so good i licked the cardboard tray clean before i got a chance to even think about photos. amazing portion sizes. food is filling, tastes incredibly fresh, and seasoned perfectly. looking forward to coming back“

“Love this Place, they get my order right every time , Honey garlic wings all flat extra crispy with ranch on the side includes fried rice 10/10 . I honestly tried most of their flavors and they’re all up to par, Honey garlic pepper and honey lemon pepper and Cajun and ranch are the best lol“

“Food is delicious and affordable.“

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

“The phone order can be overwhelming and the rudeness isn’t intentional as the language barrier can be overwhelming but their food and kitchen is clean. Price effective for the town area. The food is fresh and seasoned. Plenty meal options to choose from as well.“

“Very delicious!!! I had the high protein post workout (Double Steak) bowl and the wife had the Birria crunch stack. Wow!! What a treat. I had it delivered and it got here suoerfast from GHUB. This is going to be one of my go to eateries when i am craving some sweet Mexican fare“

“I use to order my Mex food from here about 20 years ago and the food was real good,I just recently order from here and I got Chinese food it's was Great can't complain
General Tao's Chicken 5/5
Fried Rice 4/5
Lo Mein 4/5“

“Liked. Good food great atmosphere“

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

“This is the best Mexican food I’ve found in NYC so far. At least as far as burritos go. I get the Acapulco burrito (which has no meat). It’s still not like mexican food in the south west, but I love it and keep going back. Very fast preparation.“

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

“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.“

“I am responsible for organizing team meals for a collegiate basketball team, and I prefer to support local businesses when possible. When searching for a place that would accept a large team order, the owner of Di Di was incredibly kind and easy to communicate with. Every member of the team enjoyed their food, and I was pleased with the quality of service provided. We will definitely return in the future!“

“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.“

“awesome menu items great service“

“me & my boyfriend always come here. the food is incredible, coffee OUTSTANDING and the workers are always sweet. definitely a place to check out!!! i’d recommend the mango shake, coffee, mexican tacos, burritos, their salmon bowl, and their taco salads!!“

“buena comida los mejores tacos del área“

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

“We moved here about a few months ago and I had to write a review for Sonya and her team. We've been to many Moe's in Jersey and New York but this is the best Moe's by far! The service and food is fantastic! Their customer service is excellent and they always make us feel welcomed. The food here is wonderful! You can tell everything they make is so fresh. We love eating here every other week. I truly hope they get the credit they deserve because they get an A+++++ from us! Great job Sonya and her team at Edgewater, NJ! Thank you for always taking such great care of us!“

“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.“

“amazing restaurant wrong neighborhood.“
