50 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near Richland Hills

“Been going to this one since long before they moved to this location, Josie knows what I want as soon as she sees me coming. Always great food, very friendly, great service and conversation. I drive from up near Denton to get my Chuy's fix as often as I can.“

“Their food was amazing I have nothing bad to say about it and it came out super fast. The service absolutely amazing my server was amazing he came every few minutes to check up on us. The vibes were so good I saw people jamming out to the music it might be a loud place but not to loud. Overall I give it 5 stars all aroundParking: The parking in the street is pretty good.Kid-friendliness: I saw many kids there most little but overall is a kid friendly place.“

“My wife, my daughter, and myself walked into an empty restaurant. I thought to myself 'this does not bode well'. We were directed to a counter to place our order and we ordered the Tamale Pie with mild pork, the Tommy Bowl with habanero pork and a Chicken Quesadillas. We also got chips with salsa and queso on the side. I have rarely seen my wife react to food in a dramatic way, but after one bite of the Tamale Pie, her eyes got wide, she leaned back in her chair and both arms were raised like Tommy himself had scored a touchdown and she was the ref. Speaking of Tommy, he came out and personally greeted us, which was really nice, he seems like a great guy. The quesadilla and Tommy Bowl were both amazing, and frankly my daughter and I couldn't finish because we just got so full. The queso was some of the best I've ever tased as well. I don't have a great point of reference for this, as I've only had Queso from Chipotle, but Tommy's Queso was hands down significantly superior. They also have a little market with salsa and hot sauces for sale. HIGHLY recommend!“

“My only beef is green pees in the tortilla soup. Yuk. Hard no. Stop putting them in there bc no one will miss them. Double barrel margaritas are the only reason for breathing. Love them.“

“This is not your usual taco place! If you want a different take on familiar flavors, then this will be right up your alley. I'm a fan of the chips and queso and like the pork carnitas, the democrat, and their taco of the month, the vagabond. They're sold individually and one taco can be a meal all on its own. It can accommodate gluten free needs, but it can be hit or miss for me if I have a reaction after eating here. So, proceed with caution if you're celiac. My son is a fan of the trailer park trashy (NOT GF) and the hillbilly queso.“

“This is the BESt Torchy’s around! The food is always spot on the service is great! Be sure to stop in and Tyler will take good care of you. Seriously the BEST Torchy’s there is!“

“Overall this was a great lunch experience. Quick service a large menu of varying options at reasonable pricing.Queso was good. Our party had a bunch of different entrees that everyone enjoyed.No room for dessert, but the menu was good.Parking: Plenty of parking.“

“We've been here several times already. I ordered Tilapia Monte Fresca, which was grilled with a creamy sauce and shrimp on top. It was super delicious. The chili rellenos are good as well as fish or shrimp tacos. The bloody Mary's and Pina colada's are pretty good too.Parking: It's located in the shopping center with Tom Thumb so there's plenty of parking options.“

“I've been a fan of this location since our first visit. We always sit at the bar, and Taylor is an awesome bartender. The food is always fresh and ready very quickly. The Democrat taco is our go-to, and the street corn is also very good. Can't beat the Queso here, love this place, and we will definitely be regulars. Thanks for the great food and drink!“

“My favorite restaurant in the world. The food and drinks are always outstanding !“

“Went here today for the first time and had the best shrimp enchiladas of my life! The enchiladas were topped with a poblano sauce that elevated the taste to another level. I wanted black beans with my entree, but they only serve charro or refried and the waiter bought out both for me to try, and the refried beans were really seasoned and good! My Husband had the Papaya's Nachos(I think that's what they were called) which had both chicken and steak and they were pretty(if that makes sense) and good as well! Overall 2 thumbs up, we were so pleased with the service we even opted for churros to go and they were yummy! My only regret is wishing I'd thought to take pics before cleaning our plates lol!“

“The experience and our servers Maria and Marco were top notch the food was so delicious and it didn’t took long for it to come out everything was so fresh. Our servers were really attentive and friendly and making sure we were good. Would definitely go back again.“

“"My husband and I used to frequent Gloria’s Latin Cuisine in Colleyville and loved it, so we decided to try the Southlake location. We went on a Saturday night and, as expected, there was a long wait due to the no reservations policy on weekends (reservations are only accepted Monday to Thursday). If you have a large group and plan to visit on a weekend, arrive early to secure a table. The food and drinks were amazing, and the prices were reasonable compared to other restaurants in Southlake. The ambiance was inviting, although parking near the restaurant was difficult; however, there was plenty of parking just a two-minute walk away near the REI store. We ordered the tostadas and aquachile verde both of which tasted incredibly fresh and delicious. The complimentary chips and salsa were a nice touch, and they also offer a gluten-free menu."Dietary restrictions: They have a separate gluten free menu“

“Don’t let looks fool you. It only seats 16 people inside, but they have a patio and the food is AMAZING for an unbelievable price. Cheaper than fast food and you get a huge helping of delicious fare. Most folks order to go, but there’s also a market next door where you can buy their authentic creations.“

“The best taco's I think I've had in my life, unbelievable. A little on the small size for the price, 2 taco's that should be bigger, beans and slightly overcooked rice for over $20. I'll definitely go again at some point but in a different state and see how they are there.“

“Awesome 40 years of awesome food and great service ❤️“

“Ate for the first time here tonight and it blew my socks off. Everything was fantastic!“

“Came to mi cocina for a girls night and let me tell you if you're visiting the DFW area, this place is a must !!! We sat at the bar with Hector and he provided great customer service and the handmade margaritas were on point. Will definitely come again and I suggest sitting at the bar with hector for good food, drinks and a great time.“

“Some of the best local cuisine we had on our trip. The service was exceptional and I could not believe how fast they had the orders out even though they were very busy! Their queso is absolutely out of this world and their steak burrito is phenomenal! The cheese enchiladas were good as well and they blended two different red sauces on it and it was very good but not the best I've had.Parking: BIG parking lot but very busy.“

“The only bad thing I can say about this place is that they close at 230pm! LolExcellent food EVERYTIME I wat there. Waiting staff was excellent! Love eating there every chance I can for lunch.Enchilada trio all sour cream cheese!! Use chips also!!Parking: Alot. Too many.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.“

“If you have not tried this place you are definitely missing out. Tried for the first time today and loved everything we ordered. Tex mex with a Laredo twist, but taste homemade and with love. From the margaritas to dessert this place hit all points. Don’t sleep on this restaurant. We will be back for sure! The service was amazing even the owner was on the floor and not hidden.“

“FOOD INSTAGRAM: @northtx.gemz **** WHAT THEY'RE KNOWN FOR: great Tex Mex food with two locations- one in Southlake and one in Dallas! THE VIBE: I felt like this place was pretty casual and fancy at the the same time. It's in Southlake Town Square so maybe dressing up would be okay? It's a western/country vibe place. Patio seating is available. PRICE: $45 + $10 tip WOULD I COME BACK? Yes! **** Overall Rating: 9/10 - Another Tex Mex restaurant to add to your list! I swear Southlake Town Square has great dinner places you really can't go wrong with! - These fish tacos were humongous. I could only finish 2 of them but wow it was so good. It definitely needed some hotter salsa/sauce or hot sauce tho I'll say. I loved the freshness of coleslaw tho. Fish was fried to perfection and not oily at all. - My mom's chicken fajitas were a great portion too. The thing that makes this restaurant stand out from other Mexican restaurants are their homemade flour and corn tortillas. The flour tortillas are SUPER soft and large. They are thin as well I hate overly thick flour tortillas tbh. Literally the tortillas will have you drooling. - Only thing I didn't like were the chips and salsa. The salsa was extremely salty with no flavor. - You don't need a reservation on a weekend night but it's still pretty busy!“

“Had a family dinner here (11 of us, most couldn't make it). Bobby was fantastic! He was in control the whole time. Delivered the food to the right person, kept drink glasses filled, brought added items when asked, handled 4 separate checks correctly. Make him a manager. Our 2 meals were very good. Everyone else said good things about there's. The avocado enchilada was delicious.Kid-friendliness: My nephew brought his 3 little ones (1,3,5) and they were easily accommodated.“

“Delicious Tex Mex right in the middle of the 7th Street action! Very much enjoyed my meal.“

“food especially fajita platters. service not so great and table size too small“

“Waitress-worthy service at a fast-food restaurant?! Yes!! Drew helped me out of a jam today when I miscounted orders for our office and needed to go back. She made sure I got that Airstream salad quick fast and in a hurry! and even checked for utensils. The food here at the Southlake store is really good and the service is even better. Thank you for making my day!!“

“Sorry if I butcher her name, Yaya. Excellent service, excellent food. She greeted me with a fun and friendly energy. Took my order down and was quick and attentive. A Beautiful smile. Recommended the shrimp quesadilla which was excellent. Awesome experience! Will come back soon!“

“Best cold coffee liquor drink ever!“

“It’s one of my favorite places I love ❤️ the people It may be older restaurant but it’s great food“

“Very fast and very excellent customer service plus great food“

“The best tacos in Texas!!! Love the dining experience as well as to go. You can’t miss, they aim to please and you will❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Great option for take out Mexican and catering. You can feed a huge crowd on a budget and the food is good. Online ordering is easy (and no fees through the website). There is no dine in option. It's strictly takeout. They do curbside and walk in though. Service is whatever. They hand the bag to you. The only time there was a mistake in my order they made it right immediately.“

“Tom Collins is now there previously from salt grass with Bar tenders Tim, Will, and Kevin. Ok best enchiladas especially the Crab and Shrimp. Awesome service that is why we followed him to this place. We have known him for more than 6 years! The food was very good!“

“I totally forgot to take a picture of our food.It was our first visit, and there was a bit of a wait, but it wasn't bad at all. We stopped in for lunch and must say that it was a great last-minute choice.It was the first time that I had received Beans with our Chips and Salsa ?. They were good.I had the Crab stuffed Shrimp with Refried Beans and Rice, and my husband had the Combo Fajitas. The portions were good and the food was hot when it arrived at the table.I would have liked a little more seasonings in the cheese sauce that covered my dish, but it was good as it was...We will be back to explore more dishes...“

“Long time customer. Authentic food and delicious“

“I am consistently impressed with the quality and taste of the food, great service…. This is now one of our weekly visit places. Try them - and check out their Chicken Pecan Flautas!!!“

“Chuy's offers a vibrant atmosphere and excellent service, earning a strong 4-star rating. The lively ambiance sets the stage for a memorable dining experience, complemented by attentive staff. While the fajitas were flavorful, they arrived overcooked and cooler than expected, slightly detracting from the meal. Additionally, the creamy jalapeno sauce seemed to miss its mark, lacking the usual kick. Despite these minor setbacks, Chuy's remains a top choice for Mexican cuisine, with its inviting atmosphere and friendly service adding to its charm. With a little improvement in consistency, it could easily reclaim its 5-star status.“

“Great Tex-Mex food. Seasoned well and the portions are huge. Can definitely share a plate if you are watching how much you consume. Food came out really fast and it was all hot for a table of 10. The entire team worked together and the camaraderie was like a well oiled machine. Great job. Would recommend and will be back. Our server was also amazing, so sorry I forgot his name!“

“Great service and management, had management check and everything we normally eat with meat contains a form of MSG…. They were knowledgeable which most places are clueless…. Kudos for knowing what they serve that’s great in my opinion. We shared bean and cheese nachos and had lots of chips with great salsa…. Thanks again for checking so my wife didn’t get sick.“

“the food is good the interior is fine the pickup is amazing the fajitas are the best fajitas in town i made a pizza using the tortilla with the steak mixed with the chicken and salsa. the queso and chips are good as the chips have the perfect chip to salt ratio. the cashier named christon was helpful“

“(Translated by Google) It is a good restaurant, I recommend it, a good atmosphere, the place is very clean, the service is very friendly, the food is very tasty. I recommend it in Delicias Alcemara, you find the best creams and rich dishes(Original)Es un buen restaurante lo recomiendo un buen ambiente el lugar es muy limpio el servicio son muy amables la comida es muy rica ? lo recomiendo en Delicias Alcemara encuentras lo mejor de cremas y platicos ricos ?“

“Great foood !! Very delicious !!“

“Two of my family members specifically asked for the baked potato soup. Which is normally pretty good according to them. They both asked for it to be hot. (I thought that was an odd request for soup) guess what? It was barely warm. The cheese on top would not even melt.“

“My family absolutely loves Mexican Inn and it's sister restaurant Spring Creek Barbecue! You'll find the best Tex-Mex at Mexican inn and the best barbecue at spring Creek. The same people own and operate both and they're run very well. Excellent food and excellent dining experience and the staff are very kind.“

“Food always fresh staff very friendlyDietary restrictions: I'm a type 1 diabetic with the strict diet and they're able to accommodate without questionKid-friendliness: Family friendly very attentive to kidsWheelchair accessibility: Full accommodations to help people that are handicapped and in wheelchairs“

“Great food and great service! We really enjoyed the chips and salsa. Thea fajitas were excellent! It was nice and quiet and a great place for our family to visit. We didn't notice before we went that they served canned drinks, so if that's something that bothers you, just be aware.“

“My bestie wanted to eat Mexican food and it's been 9 years since I have had this place. My bestie thought we were going to a chain...nope...drove right past the chain and said wait until you taste this hole in the wall food place...AUTHENTIC, DELICIOUS, MADE FROM SCRATCH...He said it was delicious...I haven't been able to taste or smell for the last 2 years but my memories would not let me forget this place. He was very pleased. If you want authentic, made from the heart food, give this place your money! Will not disappoint!“

“This place is a little gem! It's never packed and the food is absolutely delicious and made fresh right in front where you could see them cook. Overall, the place is great. The food reminds me of my grandma's cooking a little bit five stars all the “

“We were visiting a Lowes home improvement store and we were getting hungry. Right across the street was a place called "Rusty Taco." We'd never heard of it, but thought, "Why not?" and decided to give it a try. We're SO glad we did. We were very fortunate that the person who took our order was one of the managers, named Janeli. She was very friendly and guided us through their menu with suggestions. We were thirsty too, so we ordered a couple margaritas. I had noticed there were two margarita dispensers, one of them marked "the good stuff." I didn't see anywhere on the menu where I could specify which quality level I wanted, so I just watched as she poured our drinks. She got ours from "the good stuff" dispenser. (already I was liking the place and Janeli...) Our tacos were served quickly and were delicious. We dined on the covered porch and watched the sunset, slowly sipping the potent drinks. It was a wonderful, peaceful experience even with Highway 26 in front of us. When we were getting ready to leave, Janeli came up to us and asked about our experience. We enjoyed chatting with her so much we stayed quite a while and somehow the subject of electric vehicles came up. That seems to happen to me a lot. Not sure why... ;-) I cannot remember the last time we were treated in such a friendly manner at a restaurant. We've already been back again and Janeli remembered us! Rusty Taco is now appended to every Lowes shopping trip!“

“We celebrated our friend's birthday here and everyone loved the food and the great atmosphere. The live music is a great compliment to the beautiful Mexican decorations and the delicious food. The owner is very attentive and goes above and beyond in making sure everyone has a great experience.I give them 5 stars + for their customer service.“
