50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Kemah

“I really enjoy going to a Mexican restaurant that has more options than the usual stuff.If you are ever in Kemah or in that area, I would highly recommend the spot.Last year, when I went on a cruise, I stayed at the hotel next door and tried this restaurant because they had vegetarian options and I happen to be a vegetarian.I was not disappointed in the least and that's why I made sure to stay at the same hotel this year so I could walk over in the morning and get some tacos before going on the cruise.Not a very big place but the food is awesome.“

“Great first time experience. Taco food truck. Food was delicious!The beans were delicious. I had the tostados with fajita beef and chicken: portions were great , flavors were on point, definitely hit the spot! My husband got the beef fajita tacos and he said they were fantastic. We also got the birria tacos, which were awesome. Salsa is spicy- which I appreciate. Everything was awesome. The gentleman that served us did fantastic at making sure everything came out hot and perfect timing- considering we came at dinner rush- he was the only one working and handled everyone’s order great. Only recommendation is to cut the salt down 1/4- my plate was a bit salty. Definitely will be our neighborhood taco stop from now on.“

“Overall the food has always been delicious. My wife had the chicken enchiladas with green chili sauce and I had the al carbon enchiladas with the fajita beef. Just perfect! We will be back next time we are in the mood for Mexican Food. It does jot get better than this.“

“Our family goes there to eat all the time, the food is delicious!! Highly recommended ? don't wait to try the food, everything is delicious, thank you very much! They are always very kind to people too, see you laterParking: Because of the gas station and the delicious food there is not very many places to park buf believe me the wait is worth it!“

“Wow. Great food, excellent service & good prices - all under the same roof. Why did I take so long to discover this gem? Andy's crew took good care of us during my first visit. Kudos to Kinley for reviewing the menu & providing several great recommendations! I was very happy with the Spicy Korean Chicken Fried Rice - but I gotta try that Spreggroll next time. Our table also enjoyed the loaded Aioli Fries, the Honey Spinach Tofu Zoodle & one of the yakisobas. All selections were tasty; all portions were generous; all prices were reasonable. Piper & Kinley checked on us regularly to ensure our enjoyment. Don't wait like I did. Highly recommended!!“

“This was my mom and I's first time at Escalante's and we were very impressed! We went for Happy Hour and got margaritas and appetizers. Food had great flavor with good size portions and the drinks were well balanced. Our server was fantastic and the very attentive. We will definitely be back!“

“Stopped by from out of town for a conference and decided to see if I could get a good burrito as the other food options in town just weren't doing it for me. Went in for the reviews. As soon as I saw the atmosphere I knew my burrito was about to be fire! I was super happy with my burrito and it was the perfect flavor combo!The service was personable and fast!The lean sauce was the perfect touch to my burrito.Not only did I come back the next day for lunch but plan to be visiting this restaurant everytime I'm in town!Thanks again!“

“I went to Mamacita's for a birthday get-together & we had a great time. They sang to her & the staff was friendly. I am using a walker, currently, because of back surgery. They offered to help with my walker & store it while I ate. Everyone enjoyed their food & portions were good. The only thing I took a star off for food was for the salad. They do not have an Italian dressing or vinaigrette. I couldn't really enjoy/eat my salad without a dressing unless you like to eat it bland. I did try their 2 dressings. They had 2 different types of ranch & queso, of course. Both types of ranch tasted the same to me, but ranch users would probably like it. That is the only con about Mamacita's, to me. Everything else was awesome & I can't wait to go back!Wheelchair accessibility: I'm using a walker, currently, & the walkways are narrow & hard to put the walker next to you without getting in the way of others and servers who need to walk by. The server did store it at the front for me. I did have to ask for it back to go to the bathroom. To use the bathroom, you have to go up & down two different sets of small steps, no ramp. One worker did say I could go through the employee access swinging silver door, but I did not do that, haha.“

“First time trying Habanero's and was not disappointed!! We also had the chips and Queso, and my husband and son both had the Carnitas Taco Plate!! Everything was just so flavorful and delicious! Will definitely be going again! Staff were kind and welcoming!“

“Allie was very attentive. She was checking on us every 5 minutes. She was very sweet. The only problem I had is when we first got here there were plenty of tables outside and we told them we want to eat out there. The gentleman who seated us said he didn't think that was possible. I of course ask why. He said Quote I don't know .? all in all Allie made everything alright.“

“It was a nice quiet place to relax between Drs appointments. Nice wait staff. Chips and salsa/green sauce was good. Lots of windows and a nice array of seating. I watched Fox News ? and learned about OJ as I sat down. So that was a memorable experience. they made me feel important and attentive to what made me happy. Sweet waitress. I will go back with my kids.also. or next time I have an appointment I'll go chill by myself. I did not go to the Bar but noticed it was clean, the fruit garnish tray was fresh and bright, she was telling me about margarita specials but I wasn't drinking so they have happy hour I presume. Seems a bit pricey in some areas but if you share bear it works!! Give it a try ?Kid-friendliness: Open floor design, lots of seating, bright and happy with windows and lighting.“

“the good was good.BUT...watch out for the workers, they will.have the little black gloves on..when handling the food.and the money,and shaking friends hands,and visiting friends at thier Trucks.and never change or take off.also constantly taking away making fun of customers..your choice...was there this weekend observed all this while waiting for my order..instant regret to eat the food“

“I absolutely love this place. If there’s 100 fans of this taco truck, I’m one of them. If there’s none, I am no longer alive. The food? Exquisite. The Aqua Fresca? Fresh. It’s a decadent experience. I call in orders and they are constantly so sweet and always answer fast.“

“Love everything about them! The food quality is always fresh and love their customer service. I usually get there late before they close on my way home. I make it a point to go at least twice a week. I have been to many taco trucks but this one is on top! Thank you!!“

“Not only are these wonderful breakfast tacos but the owner and staff were amazing! I purchased 15 tacos and they worked together to get them to me fast! They were hot, delicious, and over stuffed. I will definitely be stopping by more often to buy these amazing breakfast tacos for my staff. Thank you!!“

“Ate here with a large group and had not been here in nearly a decade. The place was very nicely decorated for Easter but it was hiding the fact that the entire inside needs an update. The service was fast and friendly with no complaints. You still get free queso as part of your chips and salsa. I love the fact that the salsa is warm but it was a little flavorless. The overall food was just ok, not the best Mexican food but also not the worst.Parking: Watch out for the compact car only parking.“

“Spotted this place on our way to Galveston and it did not disappoint! This was some of the best food we had on our entire trip. The tacos were massive and so tasty. The service was excellent as we were there during a lunch rush on a Friday. Great menu options and very good atmosphere. Will go back when we are down there again.“

“The Bartenders on 4-4-24 evening. Care about there customers. The most important thing of being a bartender is to talk to your customers. To make them feel like they're welcome. Well the bartenders that night not only talked with all there customers they made me feel very important. That's how to bartend. Not a easy job.but these kids know what they are doing. As a ex general manager of a restaurant for 40 years. Very impressed.“

“Great food and ambiance! This place is huge and they have a variety of seating to fit different needs. Indoor/ outdoor/patio/adults only section. The 21+ area has corn hole and some other fun games. This is a great spot for a large birthday dinner. Food was delicious and servers/bartenders are all friendly and knowledgable. My only complaint is that the music is a bit too loud outside.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Our visit to Jimmy Changas was nothing short of fantastic! Dining outdoors on a beautiful day with our family of six and our new puppy was an absolute delight. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff catering to our every need with a smile. As for the food, it surpassed our expectations with delicious Texmex flavors that left us craving more. We're already planning our next visit to Jimmy Changas - it's a must-try for Texmex enthusiasts!“

“This is my favorite Mexican restaurant around. It's a low profile place. No cartoon mascots, just traditional dishes with good flavor. I love the fish dishes. Can't go wrong with tilapia, tacos or "seafood al vapor." Salsa is good too. They come with chips, of course. Borracho beans are nice and flavorful without being too salty. Beer is by the bottle with a decent Mexican and domestic selection. Margaritas are available too, with happy hour from noon to 6 pm. Give them a try if you're looking for something other than TexMex.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp in front, manual door“

“Husband and I ate here. We got a couple of combo meals. I don't remember the names of them, but they were only 12 bucks a piece. Their white queso is delicious. The other food we got was good as well. Neither one of us cared for their rice or refried beans. I know it happens sometimes, but I found a bone in my shredded chicken. Our waiter was friendly and efficient. I'd definitely go back.“

“The weekends are very busy in the morning. Head out early because sometimes they sell out the tamales and barbacoa plus the line can carry outside. I believe they open at 5. I go once a month. I typically buy a pound of Barbacoa, a medium cup of refried beans, Pico or salsa and a dozen hand made fluor tortillas. The cost is about $25 and feeds about 4. I am mentioning this because some ppl think they only sell single tacos. They also sell plates and have an area to sit at if you choose to eat their but its not a restaurant so dont expect to get service while eating there and clean up after yourself or simply carry food to go. They have a meat market if you want to take food home to grill or cook yourself. I like buying the fajita meat there, they thin it out for you if asked. The food is good and for me it's cheaper than going out to a restaurant.Parking: If you go during the wknd about 9 AM, parking lot is full.Wheelchair accessibility: No“

“Killer tacos. Fresh and expertly prepared meat in fairly generous portions. If you are tired of being bent over on quality and price, then check them out. Hurry before inflation forces them to start cutting corners like everywhere else these days.“

“Wow!! This place has outstanding food. Their tamales and breakfast tacos are the best around. They cook everything fresh and hot. You should definitely give them a try. Their tamales have lots of meat and not much masa- exactly how I like them! The girls are so sweet and give exceptional service!“

“Visited Houston for the weekend and this place is definitely a hidden gem! Couldn’t find a restaurant open past 9/10, in Deer Park, that wasn’t generic fast food. And we were in the mood for tacos.The restaurants location was next to a tollway and a drinks to go shop (drive through). Quite a few parking spots and a little area to eat. Food smelt heavenly. Me and my family each got something different to try. They had a variety of menu options, both pamphlet form and largely displayed on the wall with prices and pictures.The cashier was so kind and patient. She took our orders and name, repeated everything back and even answered any questions we had. They take cash or card. Food was hot and fresh; it even survived a 30 minute car ride back to the hotel and it was still warm! They give a generous amount of food and at a good price.The meats are tender and juicy. The consomes are so delicious, it’s drinkable! The meals we bought satisfied every craving we had. Salty, spicy, good levels of heat. This food will put you to sleep!10/10 we visited the place again! Went another night past 11pm and the food was still beautiful in quality and presentation; hot and fresh!“

“I order from here quite a bit. I came here for my birthday with friends. The service is excellent along with the food. The tres leches cake was delicious along with the Mole Poblano. I like it here because the its not overly loud and you can easily carry a conversation with your group.“

“1st time visiting. Atmosphere was peaceful wasn’t noisy. It was actually what I was looking for. Food was absolutely delicious. I already I would not be able to eat much so when I placed my order I asked for to go container and if they could place the sides in a to go container as well. I know this sounds ridiculous but the waiter didn’t even think twice about it. He was great! Wish I would have gotten his name. Overall will definitely be back. My husband and I enjoyed our dinner!“

“Had a dinner here in October on a Texas trip. Water is around 97 cents if you want it for a meal. Had 3 enchiladas verdes which includes rice + beans. Good portion size and was not super hot. Place was pretty crowded on Sunday night with what appeared to be local. Overall, good mom and pop restaurant.“

“The food and service was very good. They have great lunch specials, even on a Sat. I had the Lalito lunch special. Salsa was tasty. The only thing I would change would be their tortilla chips. A lighter chip would be better. Overall, I would recommend this place!“

“At first we were skeptical because it’s a food truck with picnic tables but we really needed coffee so we went and the lady said they don’t have coffee but she will make it from her home for us. She brought out her coffee maker and was so accommodating. We then ended up getting half the menu and it was the best breakfast we’ve had here!“

“As a true salvadadorian, I can say that this restaurant is very genuine! I was so happy to have found a salvadorian restaurant near me. There aren’t many salvadorian places near dickinson or league city. The food was delicious, I got the desayuno típico and it hit home.“

“Omg, me & my boyfriend ate here and it is seriously the best food ever. Very authentic like Los Ramirez in Dickinson (if you know, you know) best prices, and good drinks! Drinks are worth every penny here. Staff is so sweet. Aesthetics aren’t the best, but c’mon, you bring the vibes or you just don’t! new fav “

“Pricey for texmex but best asada in the biz. Always good, always fresh. The mix grill plate is a great indication of their food overall if you wanna try a bit of everything. Comes with asada, smothered chicken and shrimp. Paired with a mojitarita, can't go wrong.“

“Welcoming, inviting and always wonderful staff and service. We have continued to choose this location over others due to the amazing wonderful people and delicious fresh food! Spent my birthday there and Ms. Lindzy (im sorry if i spelled it wrong!) Was an absolute sweetheart of a lady and waitress! Everything was wonderful, ill always recommend this location!Vegetarian options: I have seen vegetarian options and they use fresh ingredients so id recommend this restaurant.Parking: Large open free parking lot.Kid-friendliness: Very friendly with kids and have kid activity papers to help keep them busy.Wheelchair accessibility: Open ramp for wheelchair access.“

“As a one day visitor for business. I made a quick stop get fajitas. The salsa is Fabulous! Fajitas chicken & steak were good but only thing missing was bell peppers. The meat you laid on a hugh bed of cooked onions.Other than that I enjoyed my meal & service !!“

“I am a handicapped guy so going in is not going to happen, I got curbside service and the taco's were great. I will be a regular customer here.Parking: A big lot.Wheelchair accessibility: Curbside service, the guy said "just call me".“

“Best chips ever. The queso is addictive. The meat cooked perfectly. Spicy but not painfully so. The Democrat taco is my go to fav.Vegetarian options: The have options.Dietary restrictions: They custom make each menu item and will adjust the items added to the tortilla for you.Parking: This resturant is always busy but I've always found parking.“

“Really sweet people, and have great customer service! I love their breakfast tacos, great price and taste! I also enjoy the fact that they’re at a great location right of off hwy 3 & Hughes. They also did some catering for me before and the service was awesome along with reasonable prices ??“

“Our first time here...food was great and didn't wait long. Order was slightly wrong & it was totally okay...our server, Arleth went above and beyond and gave us the same order to go, on the house!!! Definitely coming back!! FYI El Sapo is gooood!“

“This used to be Guadalajara restaurant by the old laundry Matt. My favorite waitress in the world works there very long brown hair and it's usually braided. Food is amazing service is amazing... I love it when she brings me My sweet tea in a Togo cup before even asking me. Your the best mamm. Hope you never leave this Lucas's tortillas..Thank you for always having a smile on your face and greeting and serving me forever now. Love my breakfast burrito ? ?“

“This place is the very definition of “hidden gem.” It’s tucked away inside a small gas station. Small place but BIG flavor!! I had two carne guisada tacos after asking for a recommendation, and they did not disappoint. Best tacos I’ve had in a long time.“

“Food was fast, hot and amazing! They have a wonderful white queso dip! Salsa is amazing as well! Everything had so much flavor! I’m from the Katy area and so wish they had one in our area. The waiters were extremely nice and never let our drinks empty! Exceptional service! Huge plate for the great prices!“

“Here’s the thing, we absolutely love dining here at Bullritos. Doesn’t matter what time we visit, the food has always been delicious and fresh. We’ve been coming here for years. I know economy is what it is now but totally disliked that everything is basically “sold separately”. So it’s a lil bit disheartening but we still do love the food.“

“Best place in la porte for Mexican food. Prices are better than el toro & el Ranchero. Margaritas are fabulous. The food amazing they make their own mole & best homemade green sauce just like your mama's kitchen. Flour tortillas also home made. Churros are a must after your meal. The lady during the day is one of the hardest working people I have seen. Support local business EAT AT PEPE'S!!Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible“

“If you eat morons, you're a Moron Eater.Very delicious tacos on the Southeast side of Houston, and open very late as well.The woman serving here was extremely friendly, and we appreciate such a magnificent late night meal.It's not in my top 10 taco trucks in Houston, but there are some amazing ones here, and so the standards are high. When it comes to late night food it is more than worth the drive here, and they are very very good.“

“True working meat market with a very simple eating area.Mexican food is outstanding.Pricing is amazingly low.Mole sells out by 11:30 daily.Call in orders grab most of it.Parking is free but limited & entry/exit for autos is busy off Center St.Bathrooms are a joke.“

“I recently dined at this Mexican restaurant, and it was an great. The enchiladas were good – bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. And the margaritas? They were the best I've had in a long time, with just the right balance of sweetness and tanginess. The atmosphere was lively, and the service was impeccable. A must-visit for any Mexican food lover!“

“This place is awesome. The employees and vendors have always been friendly. Also, they pretty much keep my husband's favorite energy drink, Monster Nitro Super Dry in stock, which is really hard to find, and even when we have stumbled across it at other stores, we end up buying them all out and asking these stores to PLEASE reorder (and I'm talking about asking several times over,) but Quick Run is the ONLY place that actually follows through with their word. I bought the last 2 cans that a vendor went to get out from the cooler for me, and he said he would be sure to order some more! That was cool. We buy from here all the time. I'm ready to try the food! I see people buying breakfast all the time, and with the way it smells, I can understand why! Yep, I need to grub on some of that! Oh, yeah...the candy selection is pretty good, too. Hey, Quick Run...if you see this, please order some Baby Pottle Pops! Ok, thanks for reading. ✌“

“I'm in love with this place since I moved over here it's my go-to place for breakfast lunch and dinner especially since I'm so busy between work and stuff like that service is great food is delicious can't say enough about the “
