35 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near West New York

“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“

“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!“

“Average food, low average service. Sever took forever to approach table to even fill our water glasses. When she did, she took the order of the table next to us first, even though we had been there ten minutes before them. Forgot to bring my drink order. Didn't refill water glasses. Just didn't seem up to the job. Runny/watery queso and pretty generic tacos. It was a shame as we'd heard good things. Won't return.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!).“

“Food is delicious and affordable.“

“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.“

“good chilaquiles in the city“

“After an impromptu evening painting trash where the clouds were quickly blowing around & each moment in the sky looked like a biblical scene, I had the fish burrito 10/10, orange & red sauces 10/10. There are 3 beta fish on a shelf in the back that need attention, their tanks to be cleaned, to be kissed.“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“Absolutely loved Taco Bell. The amount of options and food you can get so cheap that too hitting every right spot. Fresh , very tasty food . Comforting and wholesome without breaking the bank. Variety of various types , so flavorful . Already a favourite of many, recommend for sure“

“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.“

“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 !“

“awesome menu items great service“

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

“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..“

“I was actually pleasantly surprised at how good the food was from here, first time ever trying it after getting my nails done next door and it was yummyyy, we got the nachos and my daughter and niece had gotten chicken tenders with fries, everything was delicious, can’t wait to go back again. Seating kind of sucks but ehh overall good place to grab a quick meal“

“Food is delicious and affordable.“

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

“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!“

“*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.“

“I was really impressed with the way I was treated and the food was really good and that new burger was great Thank you Chillis Great experience“

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

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

“Absolutely love this spot in my hometown of Ridgewood! The Margaritas here are hands-down the best in town—perfect if you’re looking to enjoy a nice buzz. The servers are always incredibly friendly and make you feel right at home every time. The vibe inside is super cool too, with colorful, artsy walls and a laid-back atmosphere that’s perfect for hanging out with friends or just unwinding. Every visit is a fantastic experience. Highly recommend!“

“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.“
