17 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near Texas City

“!!PLEASE READ ENTIRE REVIEW!! My family and I stopped and ate at Casa Fiesta on our way home from vacation. My wife is in the final stages of brain cancer so everything we do as a family is precious time. When one of the owners...Ray...saw us praying before our meal, he came over and greeted us and told us we were a blessing to him. We visited a lot, got to know about his family, etc. He brought cake and churros and the best special drink for my wife. My wife's late father's name was Ray, and this Ray gave us our favorite memory from our vacation. A couple of my adult daughters cried tears of joy and gratitude because of him. Ray will be a friend of our family forever. He was a very special blessing to us. Especially my wife. Guys like Ray deserve the best. Eat at Casa Fiesta often. Best restaurant experience ever! BTW.. the food was absolutely amazing and the staff was the best.“

“We dined in after church this afternoon, Sim was our server. He was on top of everything, even with multiple tables. Definitely will be coming after church and ask for Sim.“

“always good!!!! Diego was amazing!!!“

“Great food and great service!“

“This restaurant elevates the common Tex-mex nacho to a whole new level by the the freshness and flavor of the ingredients. The Carne Gisada is so deliciously satisfying and my only regret is the the portion was larger than what I could consume in one sitting. The tomatillo salsa is fantastic! Will definitely be back on my next trip to Galveston!“

“Delicious food! We ordered the breakfast burritos for our family. I like the option of customizing a burrito too! It’s very busy so we ordered ahead of time to pickup. Everyone was so nice and courteous!“

“I have been to Las Lazos numerous times and have always enjoyed the food. Went last evening for my birthday and had excellent service from Carolina. We each had a wine margarita which was very good. We ordered Tilapia Chipotle which had a tasty shrimp sauce and a side of Charro beans. I tried Taquitos Chilango with Charro beans for the first time. Will definitely order this dish again. Finished with freshly made Churros and Sopapillas. Have dined there about once a month because the food is fresh and well-prepared. They have karaoke night every Friday for those who can (or cannot) sing.“

“10/10 for sure ! Husband had the loaded potato, I had chopped beef sandwich. Both were amazing !“

“I celebrated my birthday with a family member for the first time at Red River Cantina. The food was outstanding! The service was right on. The ambiance was TexMex classic. The ladies bathroom was impeccably clean and well stocked. Our server surprised me with a beautifully and delicious complimentary Sopapillas with cream and a lit birthday candle. Red River Cantina has nothing to envy their competitors. We all know who they are. Red River is our new restaurant for delicious and reasonably priced TexMex dining! Next on our list is their BBQ restaurant! Can't wait!“

“Excellent food, excellent service! Really enjoyed the experience we had. The price is budget friendly and the taste was so delicious! Not only will we return, we heartily recommend this little place.“

“I’ve had both breakfast and lunch here. The food is so fresh and hot when it comes to the table. Barbacoa is delicious. The fried papas that are served with your breakfast are mouth watering. The tortillas are amazing. Servers and staff are top notch!“

“Los Patrones is one best Tex Mexican restaurant we have ever eaten. Their dinner selections are the best. Our family had dinner and breakfast there. The barbacoa tacos were the best I ever had . The prices are very good. Highly recommend.“

“Great little neighborhood bar. My wife and I will stop there often on the way back to the island. We'll get the El Jefe margaritas. Sometimes, we'll get a second one, but no more than that. Food is good and bartenders are always nice and attentive.“

“I stopped by Barcena’s Mexican Cantina today on 2094 near 518 in League City, and let me tell you—I was not prepared for how good it was. 😅 This spot has seen a rotation of restaurants over the last five years, so I was a little hesitant. My husband and I were straight off the boat… dirty but clean… but still dirty in a clean kind of way. You get it. 😂 I’ve seen Birria tacos everywhere but had never actually tried them until today—and OH. MY. GOODNESS. My jaw hit the table. They were insanely delicious and officially my new obsession. I can already tell the cravings are coming. My husband ordered the crispy beef tacos and he absolutely loved them. The manager, Melissa, even stopped by our table and told us they serve breakfast all day. So yes, if we want Bellinis and pancakes at 9 PM, they’ll make them. And if we want fajitas at 9 AM? Done. That alone deserves a standing ovation. Our server. Denilson, was wonderful—kind, soft-spoken, and on top of everything. Truly a great experience from start to finish. Huge thank you to all the Bay Area food lovers who recommended this spot. We found a new favorite! 🌮❤️“

“This used to be one of my favorite convenience stores. It is no longer one of my favorite convenience stores. I just come here because I live right behind it. I’m waiting for the new store to open up on the other corner. Everything here is now just no good nobody takes pride in it. The car wash has been locked down for over a year. The people who work here are rude for the exception of Amanda. She’s very very good, but everybody else has attitude and I miss Sam.“

“The waitress named Susanna is top notch. She speaks very well and she is one of the best waitresses my husband and I ever had serve us.“

“1000000/10 recommend this place!?
Not only the food was DELICIOUS but the staff was SO SWEET! 5 stars isn’t even enough to describe how nice the staff was! HIGHLY recommend coming here! And to the staff that was working tonight THANK YOU! You all made my day!“
