Tex-Mex Restaurants near Ridgewood

“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!“

“Best nachos I ever had. Been eating their food for about 20 years now. Small inside, counter top dining. But take it home and you get a feast. Eat like a king for an inconceivable inexpensive price. People work hard but are friendly. Try them and you'll be back too.“

“I've been here 4 or 5 times. The quality of food and service is inconsistent, so it's hit or miss. However, when the carne guisada isn't overcooked and they serve it with enough chile gravy, it's one of the best things I've ever eaten.“

“Our favorite Tex-Mex restaurant in NYC closed about 9 months ago. Since then, we have been searching for a replacement with no success. Last night we found a great one, Javelina. The chips were very crisp, and the salsa was spicy and delicious. My skinny margarita(s) were full of flavor and not too sweet. The guacamole was excellent. Nachos were way better than you normally find. Chicken and beef tacos were both great. Even the rice and beans were far above average. The only minor issue was that the tables are small and a bit cramped. But the very reasonable price offset the minor seating discomfort. The room was crowded and a little noisy, but totally to be expected on a Saturday night when the food is excellent and the price is low. We will definitely go back to Javelina, but probably not on Saturday night, A total Tex-Mex find!“

“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!“

“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.“

“The Burrito Bar is always a hit! Sheidy was an awesome server! Very attentive and came back to check on us multiple times making sure we were well take of. Cervis was amazing and is always on point with the drinks! The food is delicious and always a great experience“

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

“good chilaquiles in the city“

“Good service, good live music.“

“This is the best brunch in the neighborhood and the staff is the friendliest in the city (shoutout Eddie). Everything is perfect but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back the pumpkin pancakes this fall!!! I’ve been coming here for 15 years and those were the best pancakes I’ve ever had. See you soon!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Was skeptical about this place at first because I didn't want to pay $5 for one fish taco (shame on me) BUT after tasting it... I was hooked! Especially since they use cod and not tilapia like other places do.
The establishment is authentic and the food tastes like it with really reasonable prices and great food. Now fyi the guac and churros aren't the best by themselves. You should order the guac mixed in and the churros.. I don't know what to advise on that one but hey you might like it.. idk
The agua frescas are delicious especially the watermelon when in season.
I can definitely say try them for that quick casual local neighborhood spot that will satisfy your cravings for Mexican food. ❤️“

“I went in wanting to hate on the place, being that it looks so new and bougie. I thought it was an Americanized place with high prices…. I had the fish taco, birria taco, esquites and birria soup (consome) with a tamarind water. I spent around $35 bucks - and after eating, I was sad to admit I LOVED everything about this restaurant. The tacos came out and the tortillas smelled like a tortilleria in Cuernavaca Mexico. Freshly made and I would assume made in house. I complimented the staff, tipped accordingly and brought my girl in to try it shortly after my first visit - & she agrees! (Ps:we’re both Mexican) sooo lo and behold we have our new favorite Mexican spot in the neighborhood. You have to try it! I’ve only gone in person, never delivery- love the freshness! Actually writing this review while heading in for another round.

Update: Pictures added from my latest meal. The torta is fiiiiire the bread is so spongey. And the pozole is incredible also! Lord have mercy ima have to run down the whole menu 😍🥲“

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

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

“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 !“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“This place is definitely a sleeper. When you’re hungry Tex mex food just hits different. I won’t lie, they don’t do the best wrap jobs on the burritos and the meat be dry sometimes, but honestly the flavoring is good. The price is okay, they be wanting almost 4 dollars for a taco.“

“They never disappoint. I’m always here for Mexican and Chinese food. Although I will say if they sealed their burritos by frying the tortilla and added a little bit more meat then I would give it a 10 out of 10. There Chinese food always hits.“

“I went this morning with my hubby, nice small humble place, the blueberry sweet cheese kolache is amazingly good!!! and the small rolls with ham & cheese was so yummy we brought all 4 different kind of flavors.. Amazing kind people with warm personality. A must to go especially in the morning when is all freshly made. Will come again ❣️“

“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..“

“awesome menu items great service“

“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“

“increible servicio comida muy deliciosa lugar muy agradable“

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

“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 ❤️‍🩹“

“No brainer spot for casual eats. There are only a few places where almost every menu item is consistently great—dozens of times we’ve dined here, delicious every time! Plenty of seating for larger groups and great vibes/music for all kinds of outings. Such a friendly staff and warm setting! 40min drive for us, but worth the trip!“

“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!“

“Karaoke, dinner and drinks always makes a great time better.“

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

“I ordered over the phone for pickup .they took the order for sure as I asked for the price so she checked and told me so it was confirmed . When I went to the store they totally denied . They were straight up like No No No, No call no order sorry . So I called back the number to ask for their address and they gave me the stores address . I just didn’t feel like going back after being denied on my face .“

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

“Liked. Good food great atmosphere“

“some of the best Mexican food I've had in nyc, simple , quite , true to the core. I got the Puebla Burrito - A flour tortilla filled with stewed chicken, rice, beans, cream Topped with mole sauce and melted cheese. It was savory and perfect with the beans and chicken, I added spicy 🌶️ sauce to make it perfect for me. If you want great burrito 🌯come this way 🌯“

“exelente atención todo el tiempo“

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

“They follow up properly when they bring new dishes. Enhancing everything else, the staff was approachable and helpful. This place offers reasonable costs for where it sits. You can discover flavors that feel invented here. My review is complete.“

“Good food price need to be updated online however. When ordering not very communicative over phone. Had to call back twice to ask how long and cost after ordering. Have to do a better job before hanging up phone to see if customer has anymore questions.“
