Restaurantji unveils Galveston's must-visit Mexican dining spots. Taste the finest Birria Tacos, Chips and Salsa, Breakfast Burrito, and more in the city.
“This restaurant is the best Mexican restaurant in Houston and the surrounding areas. When you visit please try the birria tacos and the casa agave fries. I rarely leave reviews but this restaurant took me down memory lane. It brought childhood memories of me being back home.Everything was superb including the waiter, staff and the welcome atmosphere. If you want to feel like home come here.You will not leave disappointed.“
“The brisket is delicious. I tried the tamales some of the best tamales I've had in a long time. They have banana pudding today and that was really good too. I definitely definitely recommend this place. Especially for the brisket and tamales.“
“Fantastic breakfast that we were so happy to find. You order from the counter and they delivered our food. My husband is hard to please and he loved the chorizo and egg breakfast. The tortillas are hand made and delicious. Our friends ordered the breakfast burrito and they were huge. Great neighborhood spotParking: Park on a side street--easy to find parking“
“What a great place for dinner! We were seated at the outside tables with our dog and they even got him a water cup. Our server Alexandria was fantastic and very knowledgeable. She truly went above and beyond to accommodate us and even got my husband a free dessert for his birthday!Coming to the food, the taco salad was very tasty. But man the complimentary chips and salsa was out of the world! Hands down one of the best salsas we’ve had in a long time!!!! If they’d package and sell that salsa, we would buy bottles of it!! With food that tastes this good, we’re gonna be back soon!!Jefferson and Jorge were a lot of fun too!!“
“This is a cute restaurant for breakfast and lunch. Not too much seating so you may have to wait to get a seat...luckly our group of 10 dined in at the right time and didnt have to wait for seating. Everything was delicious. I ordered the Birra tacos with cheese and the French toast. If you are a coffee drinker.... you MUST order the Cafe de Olla.“
“These guys are killing the game in Galveston best taco in all Galveston i try every single taco in galveston and chilangos has the best salsa the best tacos and great service plus the place it's so cool with murales of mexican comedian and wrestling of mexico..“
“Excellent food. We went there for brunch. Not anything fancy about the restaurant. I don't need fancy as long as it's clean, and this place was. It is hard to believe how affordable the food is. I felt like I went back on time when I saw $5.50 for a massive burrito. $7 for chilaquiles. Delicious and affordable.“
“When I heard Los Compos closed, I was so bummed. That charming restaurant in the house, tucked away from the main roads and just incredibly delicious. But luckily Lupita’s is carrying on with their greatness. I learned that many of the same people that worked at Los Compos are now there, so they’re bringing their greatness with them. $5.99 breakfast burritos that keep you filled up until dinner. Can’t beat it.“
“We were visiting from out of town and other reviews led us here and let me tell you it didn’t disappoint . We had flautas (they were amazing ) the birria ramen and birria tacos all of it was yummy ! The service was great . So happy we were able to enjoy delicious food !! Give it a “
“An awesome spot for tasty tacos! The only thing I would say though that surprised me was how small the establishment is. There are only four tables on the inside that are pretty small but the outdoor seating is nice on a day that has good weather! The tacos with Birria were great and the staff was lovely to our group :) the portion was good enough for me, but I could see it being not fulfilling if you are super hungry. i'll have to come back and try different tacos next time.“
“I grew up in Texas but I've lived all over the country and traveled the world. These are authentic and delicious and perfectly priced. Plate of tacos for $10!!! My only hesitation is bragging too much because I don't want to wait in line next time. Seriously “
“In town for a family cruise and had to find a good local place to eat, and they did not disappoint. We actually ate here for breakfast and lunch. All food was excellent and the staff was very nice. We will definitely come back when we cruise out of Galveston again.“
“The pineapple is definitely for 2 and at a pricey $20 dollars they should offer this information upfront. However, definitely delicious and cost worthy for 2 plus people for sharing.Kid-friendliness: Need to implement a public restrooms facility.“
“Clean, reasonably priced, and delicious food! Breakfast ends at 11. We were a tad disappointed but only till we received our lunch! We had the beef fajita tacos on flour - delicious! Great flavor and big chunks of meat. We shared snd were full. The small queso and guacamole aren’t tiny. We had more than enough for two. Loved the thin, homemade flour tortillas! Guacamole was freshly made. Chips were toasted and the salsa verde was awesome but too spicy for me. We had tea and water but saw some huge micheladas being served on our way out. We’ll go again for breakfast. Very clean, bright and inviting. Annie was one of our two waitresses, both impeccable with timing and refills on tea, water & chips. Go see them!“
“Will absolutely be returning here next time we’re in Galveston! We came for the breakfast burritos and they didn’t disappoint! Very delicious, and the staff were amazing. Highly recommend the home made lemonade pitcher, made with fresh lemons daily!Vegetarian options: They were happy to make the special breakfast burrito vegetarian for us, and the beans are also vegetarian!Kid-friendliness: Staff were happy to explain menu items for my kids!“
“I was looking for a small place to have breakfast and Primo’s did not disappoint. The seating area was just right for meet-ups, with Latin treatments on the windows and walls, and some paintings. Endless coffee was served all around me. I had the huevos rancheros and the serving size was more than the price would typically have indicated. I will definitely earmark this one for a return visit.“
“Stopped in because of the good reviews and loved the food! Went with my husband and two year old. Food was great, loved the horchata! The lady who served us was not very friendly and seemed to be in a bad mood the whole time so it was a little uncomfortable, but glad we stopped by. Nice portion sizes for a nice price.“
“We moved back to Galveston almost a month ago, and we are so glad to have found Nopalero! The breakfast burritos are delicious, love the bacon they use and the chorizo hasn't bee na greasy red addition- all of our food has always tasted so fresh. Their tortillas and red salsa are so good that I have bought some to go a couple of times. Their taco salad is also delicious. The family works the restaurant, and 10/10 you should give them a try, they've been so kind, their food has been so good and they really want to make this place a success.“
“I will always choose el Rey’s over any burrito place on the island. El Rey’s is homemade on the go. Not over produced and under a warmer like other places on the island. They’re made to order at el Rey’s!! Thank you for 10 years of wonderful food and memories! Will always recommend yall!“
“The food was amazing!!! I’ve tried the burritos, tacos, gorditas and they all taste fresh and delicious. The owner himself was out there stirring up conversations and creating a comforting environment. Overall it was a great experience and I’ll definitely be back.“
