50 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near Jersey Village

“Not just this location, but ??? Los Cucos restaurants are awesome. We receive consistent great service, several menu options to choose from, and amazing food. I love their house sauce they put on their fajitas, and the margarita varieties are excellent. Our last visit was on a Saturday night, and they had a live band playing. Patrons were enjoying the music so much, some got up to dance. This place is worth a visit if you love Mexican food.♥️????Parking: The parking lot for the restaurant itself is not very big, but it’s located inside a strip center where it shares parking for other businesses. So you’ll have a place to park, but it may not be close to the door during peak times. This particular location is never crowded, so it won’t be a problem.??“

“First timer and really appreciated the service it was definitely top tier. Guillermo was very professional and punctual, he made sure he checked on us in great timely intervals. I had situation with my sides due to a misunderstanding on the menu and Guillermo had no problem with rectifying the situation. Truly appreciate Cyclone Anaya’s food as well as their server’s service!!!!! Five stars all around!!!!!“

“Everything has been so great I love the service. The food is stupid good. Victor the bartender server was in charge of our table and his service was impeccable! Make sure to order the brussels sprouts!! They are so so great Cyclone Anayas has some of the greatest tex mex food I have ever had.“

“I decided come by and try Mi Tierra as it is around the corner from my office in the up and coming Oak Forest neighborhood. When you first walk in you are greeted by very friendly staff. There were a few other tables enjoying their meals already, but was able to be sat with my party right away. We ordered the "award winning" tacos al pastor as well as the mahi mahi fish taco's. Both were great choices. Light and refreshing the perfect amount of taste. Paired with Mi Tierra margarita. The meal was satisfying. I wish I would have come in sooner. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu.“

“Sad to say that I have worked in the area for years and I never thought of coming here but my friend asked me to lunch so I finally got the chance to go. I was missing out! I had the ceviche which was absolutely delicious and a margarita which was STRONG but delicious. Loved it so much we went the next day and got a bit too drunk off the margaritas for Happy Hour lol which I haven't done in years but it was awesome! Definitely coming back but now I'll have to watch myself cause these margaritas are deliciously dangerous! Haha“

“Really cool spot, love the atmosphere, really creative outdoor seating. The food was excellent, corn tortillas are some of the best I've had. The nachos were piled high and were not light on toppings. The salsas were good, I plan to return and try more of the menu. The photos don't do it justice but the setting was very cozy. The server was very friendly, very nice bar if you're a drinker.Kid-friendliness: They have some activities for kids.“

“Nothing beats the original location of Lupe. The building may feel small in certain spots, but the atmosphere is always lively and cheerful. The food is hot, fresh, and definitely tasty. Their fajitas are definitely worth a try if you've never had them before.“

“I'm so ecstatic to have a solid Mexican restaurant open up so close to where I live! I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here. The restaurant is pretty spacious and service was quick. You get complimentary chips and salsa, and the salsa was so deliciously spicy. I ordered the chicken flautas and loved them. They were neither too dry nor too oily. Perfectly crispy and they paired well with the salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. Their rice was cooked well, and I'm a sucker for good arroz rojo. I also tried a michelada and that was the perfect, refreshing complement to my meal. I'm excited to come back here whenever I'm craving Mexican food so I can try their other dishes!“

“Pappasito’s has been one of my favorite restaurants in Houston for many years.We have not been to Pappasito's in a while due to their ever increasing prices, but we tried it one more time on last Thursday.It was around 3:00pm. Not many people. The "Hostess" did not want to seat me. I looked around the empty restaurant and asked why she would not seat me and told me the wait would be 20 minutes. I called the manager. And he gave me an excuse that they were short in personnel and I have to wait, instead of seating us and committing to provide a good positive experience regardless as they have always done it. My positive experience has not been the same and they keep raising their prices to a point that it’s ridiculous high. Lunch for three people, a beef quesadilla, two tacos, a small tortilla soup, water and two drinks $40 per person? Something in their management has changed.“

“We love Gringo’s it is our favorite chicken enchiladas. I get them every time. My husband loves the fajita enchiladas. We are never disappointed. My son who lives in upstate New York where they have no idea what great Mexican food is comes to see us and as soon as he’s here we come straight to Gringos. We had an and absolutely super waiter, by the name of Justin. Friendly, polite and just plain nice. We have always had good food, good service and good fun.“

“Don't go for the atmosphere, although it is a very comfortable place. Go for the food and people who work and dine there. The food is quality and satisfying, the service is so kind and the cook is interested in your enjoyment of the food. This is in my opinion a rare find.“

“I came here for the first time. Everything was good. Good service. Tasty food. Comfortable seats. I asked for pictures of the menu but they don't have it. Hopefully they have the pictures for first time customers like me, who don't know about Mexican cuisine.“

“I had been traveling all day to get here for a work trip. I was hungry fir dinner, my hotel didn't have a restaurant, I don't have a rental car as meeting up with several co-workers. This place is tight across the street. An easy walk, nice to stretch my legs after being on airplanes.Efrain was super friendly. I ordered the Baja salad with chicken and a horchata. The salad was topped with all kinds of fresh toppings. The tomatillo sauce was amazing and the perfect touch to the salad.Portions were generous and prices reasonable.I wish we had this near home.“

“Juarez has been in business for many years and finally moved to a new more upscale building and it so nice, you can sit outside, the food is superb and chips and different kinds of hot sauce flow freely and the Margaritas are fantastic, all different kinds, but don't drink too many they are not shy with the Tequila. The service was excellent and we have already been a few times since the new opening about a year or so ago. One last thing several years ago we had a hurricane here and everything was closed, even our HEB no fast food, it was bad but one place opened their doors and served what they could like enchiladas beans etc, they are good people who own and run it. It's a must go to place!! Sorry no pictures but I'll start working on that!!Vegetarian options: Really didn't look much at it.Dietary restrictions: They will do whatever they canParking: Parking is out front and there is plentyKid-friendliness: Appeared to be quite kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Small ramp close to doors“

“Went there on a Saturday night. The food was good and our server was great! The drink menu also looked exciting. However, the drink I ordered was supposed to be strong, which definitely wasn’t. But the reason I have to take away one star is the environment. It is a huge restaurant with multiple flanks which was super crowded to the point of being unorganized. Also the floor was not clean enough, which wasn’t a surprise given the number of people there. It really felt like a crowded street inside. Overall, it is decent place, but the environment lacks the desirable character to provide a memorable experience.“

“stopped by while visiting Houston and it was such a great experience! They do allow pets on the patio and I was able to bring my dog and they provided treats and water for her. Our server Santiago was so nice and attentive to us, he went above and beyond to make us feel cared for. the place itself is very cute and fun for gatherings with friends. food was also delicious! Would definitely recommend if you’re in the Houston area and looking for Mexican food.“

“I had not eaten at Pappasito's in a long time. I was there for a birthday celebration. I am taking off points for service due to the attitude of the host that seated us not the wait staff. Gillian was exceptional as our server. The food was great and the atmosphere was lively. I recommend the restaurant overall.Kid-friendliness: The kids loved the chicken strips and fries.“

“Best beef fajitas I ever had at a restaurant. We always go for there fajitas and Mango margaritas are really good as well. Service could be a Lil better but wasn't to bad. I needed water refill a waited at least 10 min for her to check on us.“

“Lovely brunch...I wish there were more hot food options, seemed to focus more on salads and cold foods, but on a Sunday I tend to enjoy something a bit heartier. The flan is absolutely DIVINE!...ambiance is very upscale. Beautiful surroundings.Complimentary valet parking, High dollar btw.“

“The NW location of El Tiempo was excellent. The food always comes out hot and fresh. Their red and green salsas are very good. They sent me a $20 off entree' coupon for my birthday which was awesome! They sang HBD song and me a tres leches cake with whipped cream and fresh fruit. The waitress was so nice and attentive. I would recommended going to El Tempo Cantina!“

“This is the first time I’ve been to this location since it was Aguirres. The decor is good, and our server Gabe was phenomenal. He checked with the kitchen for any request/question we had, and he always kept us informed if there was a delay with food or drink. A few things I would recommend would be:- Menu: The first part when you open the menu is a weekly list of specials and then you get to the appetizers/regular menu. I would take the weekly specials out and leave them on the tables as a separate menu to order from. There was not a non-alcoholic drink menu that I could find, I asked for bottled Mexican coke, and then agua frescas to be told neither was offered. They do have fresh lemonade however. Coffee was not listed on the menu which I got a latte after my meal, and there were many options for coffee our waiter gave us that were not on a menu. I also did not see desserts in the regular menu, perhaps having a separate dessert menu would be helpful.-Food: Overall the food was good, and the price is wonderful. I wish I had greater variety of salsa- neither salsa was spicy. When you order queso however, out waiter offered us pickled or fresh jalapeños on the side, and the pickled jalapeños appear to be made in house or they are a good canned batch of jalapeños. I got two shrimp tacos for the Saturday seafood special- and I wish the tacos were tostadas instead. The shrimp was cooked well, and the coleslaw was well done, but the sauce completely ruined the integrity of the tortillas and it became a wet, sloppy mess. Maybe using tortillas mixtas also would work since that’s a thicker consistency than regular flour tortillas. I ended up using tortilla chips to scoop out the coleslaw filling out of the tortilla, which by the way the tortilla chips are the excellent amount of crunch and flavor. I wish the shrimp tacos were made as a ceviche style to give a raw, or crudo, element to the crunchiness of the coleslaw and the lime would help cut the creaminess of the coleslaw. There was supposed to be chipotle in the tacos somewhere- but I couldn’t identify or taste it. If there was a giant tortilla chip tostada served cold with the shrimp ceviche and the coleslaw, guacamole/avocado, with chipotle I could eat that all day. The charro beans are perfection, and I didn’t get anything else but I feel the dishes have great potential to be elevated and really delicious, since the foundation of the food is really good.I would definitely come back again to see if the service and consistency of the food is the same.“

“Came in about 7:15 and was promptly seated. Chips with red and green sauce quickly followed. The red sauce has a little zing to it. The waitstaff was friendly and efficient. Good selection on the menu. I ordered the cheese enchiladas; they arrived in less than five minutes with the accompanying rice and refried beans. A good meal. The prices seemed comparable to other Mexican restaurants in the area.“

“Lovely restaurant! We had a party of 14, called ahead to put our name on the waitlist, and was seated within ten minutes of our arrival. The hostess, Valeria, was so kind and friendly! I don’t remember our waiter’s name, but he was very patient and present. Every drink that was ordered was well liked. I ordered the Margarita Azul, it was very good! The food came out in a timely manner and was hot. I recommend the fajita burrito with a side of queso! Give this place a try, you won’t regret it.“

“A bit out of our way, but we came on a Monday specifically to try their Monday's half off margaritas special..The complementary chips & salsa were good.Hubby & I decided to share the fish tacos & beef quesadillas - for $16.95 each plate, the food was just OK.I got a regular-size strawberry ? margarita with tajin on the rim & hubby got a regular-size spicy cucumber ?? margarita with tajin on the rim - at the time of this review, it was half off $10 so $5 each - tasty & surprisingly pretty strong.Will be back to try the standard lime margarita & also the mango chipotle flavored margarita.“

“Came here solo during a work trip. Was sat immediately and brought chips and salsa. I always order fajitas so I knew what I wanted. I’m not joking when I say I entered this establishment at 7:00pm and was sat, ordered, ate and left by 7:20pm. The service was probably the best I have ever received at any restaurant and the food came out super super fast. Not to mention it was absolutely amazing and especially for the price. You would pay more going to chilis to get fajitas. 10/10 would recommend!“

“Honestly a bit pricier than other restaurants, but well worth it. The steak fajitas are always delicious, and the onions always caramelized. Queso is also delicious, and the dessert haven't disappointed yet. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for some great Mexican food.“

“Good food and good service from employees. I was with my wife at the bar and in my general opinion it is pleasant, just one observation and that is that the atmosphere would improve if some music was played at least in the bar area. Generally, I visit the restaurant once a week for work and I find the number of people pleasant on weekends.“

“This restaurant was in my radar for several years and i finally had the opportunity to try it and it was more than worth the wait! The staff is very friendly and attentive, the food came out hot and fresh and was absolutely delicious! From the appetizers to the main entree everything was full of flavor and beyond pleasing“

“100% it worth it to goExcellent food, Excellent service, friendly staff and clean all around but more important very reasonable prices for the food quality Just delicious.,compared to any other Mexican restaurant this one deserves in my opinion 5 starsLiterally we clean the plates of how good the food was.Vegetarian options: I had enchiladas with chicken and MoleOr enmoladas my kids had burritos and definitely were so good.“

“Hadn't been to Guadalajara in ages, and boy, have I been missing out. The food, the drinks, the service, the atmosphere, just spectacular. Came in on a beautiful weekend day and ate at the bar top. The young lady provided excellent service, and the BOH was amazing at fulfilling a special order. Hats off to the entire team.“

“Place is outdated, but do not let that keep you from trying this place! The service is great as servers have been there for years and they get to know the customers and their likes and needs. Food service is good tasting and service is fast. You will not regret experiencing El Gallo!“

“Food was great. I love that the menu is divided by region. The food is reminiscent of home cooking from Momo's house. The only drawback is portion size relative to price. 2 enchiladas dish for $18 is a bit steep. But location location “

“Chuy's is a tried-and-true staple of Tex-Mex. The prices are great, the food is great, and the decor makes it hard to stop staring at all the unique art pieces across the restaurant. My only complaint for this particular location is that recently the service hasn't been quite up to snuff. Food has been taking longer to come out than it used to, which is disappointing.“

“This restaurant did not dissapoint! Food was HOT & FRESH,margarita was BOMB! Servoce was good. Food came out quick. If I'm ever in the area again,I will be back.Parking: It was packed. I found about only two spots available. I'm guessing there is additional parking“

“Amazing food, great service and very friendly/accommodating. The spicy green sauce, street tacos and charros beans were some of the best we’ve ever had! 100% will be back again and highly recommend to anyone else looking for delicious food in the Cypress area“

“This place is the best. We come here every week. The food is great, but the people are even better. Caesar was a fantastic server. He treated us with nothing but respect even though we had a crying newborn. Leylis is an amazing manager and was awesome. She came and talked to us and was great with our kids. I will continue coming here every week and eating the delicious food and enjoying the company“

“This place is the BEST!!!! They have the best breakfast tacos, they have the best lunch tacos and the BEST STAFF!!! Always super friendly and the food is always on point! I especially love their PRICES!!! Super cheap and I’m always full and happy when I leave! Super authentic and super genuine in all Aspects! I literally eat here every day and will continue doing so!Kid-friendliness: My son loves this place and he’s a picky eater!“

“We love this place. In my opinion, they have the best cheese enchiladas in town. The enchiladas are always hot and gooey with cheese. I get them with onions. I also love the beef fajita taco ala Mexicana. It's not on the menu. It's basically a beef fajita taco with grilled tomatoes, onions, and Serrano peppers. Prepare your mouth for some peppery heat because the Serranos pack a lot of heat. The salsa is always spot on. The tortilla chips are just your standard chips. As a side note, be prepared to wait for a table during peak hours, usually between 5 and 7.“

“Been coming here with my co-workers for nearly a decade now and the food is excellent. We always wind up being seated in the bar area though which is kind of odd. Even when there are six or more of us they’d rather push some tables together than let us have a table in the dining room. The service can be pretty slow at lunch even when it’s not busy. I tend to always circle back around to the Tacos Al Carbon (the chicken is a bit better than the beef on this particular dish) but the nachos are great and so are the golden tacos. The chips and salsa are really good and I appreciate that the green sauce is different in both flavor and texture than the red (you’d be surprised how many restaurants don’t really have a good variety).“

“Great food, staff, and atmosphere. I always order the same item on the menu. The staff makes sure it is perfect or they fix it as some visits I pick up other times I dine in. Fam and friends also enjoy their chosen meals. So glad we don't have drive to the Tony's Heights! Often busy at lunch time and all day Friday and Saturdays.“

“Phenomenal! BEST of all of their locations. Carter was kind and amazing to us. Food was perfect. I'll go back anytime I'm near. Sorry no pics, we ate it up quickly. :) the most tender chicken I've ever had. Perfect.“

“This is the first time we have tried Goode Co. Cantina after many years of enjoying the other restaurants in this group. We were disappointed in the lack of flavor in the red and green salsa as well as the queso. The fish tacos were also flavorless and the Laguna Madre shrimp was mushy. With so many great Mexican restaurants on Houston, we won't be returning.“

“I ordered two tacos & an order of queso. My tacos were missing guacamole/ ingredients. The manager went out of her way to make sure It was corrected & I was satisfied. Thank you so much & I really appreciate your extra effort to make it right! Will definitely be back.“

“Im of Hispanic descent and I have to admit that I judge a restaurant by their Salsa! . So let's not dance around the subject! ;). I have not had this level of authentic food in a very long time. Their salsa is delicious that my taste buds were doing a salsa dance on their own! Service was prompt and courteous. Prices were SUPER affordable, I bought a plate of food, two tacos, and a snack Queso Dip for $19. Unheard of in the economy! I'm really excited to have stumbled across this little gem and plan on bringing my parents whom I know will love it more than me!!“

“Well I never thought I would one day find some of the best nachos I’ve ever had in Houston! Juanita’s Mexican Kitchen has some of the best salsa and chips….so I knew the food would not disappoint….and I was right.I just happened to find Juanita’s…but I am so glad I did. Next time you’re in the mood for some tasty Mexican/Tex-Mex….come on down Louretta Rd…and you’ll be glad you did. And the service was just a great introduction to the amazing food.“

“Visiting from out of state, we just wanted a taco. This place came up in Google search. The server said there was about 20 minute wait. Since we didn't know anything about their menu, we were ok to wait.We decided to share the shrimp fajita plate.SOOO DELICIOUS!Portion was generous.Seasoning was great.Fresh made tortillas were delicious.Can't give 3 stars for atmosphere, but the service and the food were certainly 5 stars.“

“The OG Triple Play Tacos are a home run, Astros style! A sampler of 3 of their most famous OG Tacos: the Diablo Steak Taco, the Chicken Yucatan Taco, & the Baja Shrimp Taco. The green and red sauce compliments them perfectly. I can't even decide which one I enjoyed more.“

“We had a blast dining here. We were seated immediately upon arrival. Complimentary chips and salsas showed up right away. My wife ordered the Texas Plate, and I got the Spanish Flower Lunch. The food was amazing. We talked with Sra. Medrano, the manager. The tortillas are all made fresh there every morning. You can taste the difference. All our wait staff were courteous and helpful.“
