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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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! 🌮❤️“

“Super friendly people from the moment you walk in you can feel the nice atmosphere very clean and so much to pick from plenty of delicious options and my go to for cheap gas prices i highly recommend this store when you are in the lovely town of Dickinson“

“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.“

“We've been coming for so many years never had a bad experience always love the food the people the ambience it's absolutely fun and excellent food drinks, etc. This time for lunch we had an exceptional server she's new to us. Her name was beautiful. It was a flower like maybe jasmine we hadn't seen her before but boy was she on top and thorough always seeing if we needed any more of anything we loved her she was phenomenal.❤️ just wanted you to know“

“Don't understand why Lupe's has a low rating The beef filet fajitas are the best even though expensive (you get what you pay for). The side salad (not on the menu) is full of avocados and the parlando ranch awesome!! Service is top notch but it is a smaller restaurant and can be wait times in buzy times. Have yellow and white cheese with or without artichokes/spinach or ground beef. Also have shrimp, quail, salmon, Mahi so another of variety. Quality food (this is not like taco bell). Great service. What is not to like? Can eat outside but I prefer inside.“

“This was our first time trying Freebirds and it was a great experience. Dom was very welcoming and helpful walking me and my husband through the whole process and answering our questions. The food was hot and fresh and the vibe was just right. Thank you Dom for making our first visit awesome we’ll definitely be back soon! 😊“
