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!!!“

“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!“

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

“Great food and great service!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“We’ve been fans of all of the locations of Barcenas for years. The Marina Bay location is every bit as exceptional as the others. The food is consistently delicious, the service is outstanding. Nelly is so welcoming and makes sure every single table is happy. Manny is always just the absolute best and incredibly patient with our indecisiveness. You can’t beat the Taco Tuesday prices and they serve breakfast all day every day! A great experience every time we visit!! I’ll put some pictures in the comments.“

“We ordered prosecco and an appetizer to share. The waitress brought the 2 bottles of prosecco and 2 glasses and walked away! She put them on the table without opening the bottles or pouring the prosecco into the glasses. When she brought the appetizer we asked her to open the bottles because neither of us were physically able to open them. After she left we realized we were not given plates. Unfortunately we never saw her again until we flagged her down to get the check. I have been to Baja Cantina many, many times and this is the worst service I have ever received. So sad.“

“5/5 Stars – Hands down some of the best Tex-Mex in Clear Lake!
​What an incredible meal! From start to finish, everything at Lupe Tortilla in Kemah hit the spot.
​Appetizers & Drinks, We kicked things off with the queso, creamy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious, along with outstanding chips and salsa. The margarita was perfectly balanced, crisp, refreshing, and tasty.
​The Main Event, We ordered a pound of the beef fajitas with all the fixings. The beef was amazingly tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. The portions were so generous we even had leftovers to look forward to!
​The Tortillas, You can't skip mentioning those iconic, paper-thin, fresh tortillas, absolutely legendary.
​If you are looking for an outstanding, festive atmosphere and top-tier Tex-Mex, don't hesitate, run, don't walk, to Lupe Tortilla in Kemah!“
