24 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants in Brooklyn

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!).“

“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!“

“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.“

“*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.“

“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.“

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

“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 ❤️‍🩹“

“I love love love this place. The staff is very kind. They speak very fluently and there is never a problem with your order. They are polite and I love the food. They even deliver to some places you think they won’t. The reason they don’t get the full five stars is because the restaurant needs a paint job. The fish are beautiful but the paint is old and it takes away from the restaurant just a little. Not the taste tho the food is on point.“

“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.“

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

“Delicious Mexican food, I had a good meal with my family, Thankss“

“Love this place !
Have been ordering from this restaurant for years
Great food and kind service always get my food the way I like it

Now they are temporarily closed Does anyone know what happened and if they will reopen soon?“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 !“

“Ignore any one star reviews. This is by far some of the best and most hearty mexican food I’ve had. The prices are reasonable but the food and portions are more than worth it. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a no frills good eats.“

“Always excellent food, margaritas and friendly staff.“
