31 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near North Bergen

“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 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 !“

“buena comida los mejores tacos del área“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“My experience was good, Tony the manager was the man! Took care of us wanderfully! Also one of the runners (didn’t catch his name) on the other hand we did have a waitress that wasn’t very pleasant, she ordered our food and drinks no problem after that she didn’t refill our drinks and that’s where Tony came in. She also was standing over my shoulder holding the tablet to pay on while I put the tip watching me. I didnt feel like she did a good job with what she was supposed to do. (We were out of drinks for over 10mins) she walked by 2 times in that spand. But I would have to say the food was amazing no complaints there and the manager couldn’t have been more helpful! Thank you“

“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 👍“

“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.“

“Me and my wife had an amazing afternoon at Javelina. It was Nat’l Margarita Day, so my wife made us reservations for us. Sitting with Kayla at the bar, and chatting with Micah while we ate and drank- they truly made us feel like family. I had carnitas tacos while my wife had the beef- both were delicious. Rice and Beans were correct- if you know what I mean. Washed that down with a prickly pear frozen margarita and some super fresh Modelo’s… Man, I bet my Saturday was better than yours… :)“

“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.“

“good chilaquiles in the city“

“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, 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.“

“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.“

“I bawled when I heard the news, but I want to thank you for all the years of incredible food, warmth, and memories. You’ve been a special part of my life, and it’s hard to imagine the neighborhood without you. It’s sad to see you go, but I’ll always remember how much your place meant to me. You’ll definitely be missed!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great local takeout spot for tex mex food. Filling, good taste, inexpensive and friendly people. The enchiladas, chimichangas and combo dish are my go to. Also really like the chorizo taco and black bean taco, black and pinto beans with rice.Even the American food is pretty good, especially if youre trying to decide what to order with a picky eater: burgers, onion rings, chicken or steak sandwiches.Try the fried apple sticks..“

“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!“

“More here than anywhere else. Why does the Jackson Heights branch taste better? It's light but filling. It's okay to eat it as a meal. Friendly clerk. Thank you. Thank you for being patient with me as I don't know any Spanish and struggle to speak English♡“

“I get excited to bring friends here so I can see their faces once they bite a kolache! Every time I have one I think about how crazy good the dough is, no clue how they do it. The owners (I’m assuming) are the kindest ever. So consistently bright and welcoming, thank you!“

“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.“
