The best Tex-Mex are often in run down, hole in the wall joints.
Yeah Mcdonald
I concur
Does tex mex taste different then the Mexican food in cslifornia
Good luck cafe too
I makebetter mex chinesse turkey pies desserts food
I love Bob Phillips... I watched him as a kid in the 80s and loved the show. Helped me love food and history more... Thank you Bob for making my life more rich
Such a coincidence that I saw this video today. I was just reminiscing about this awesome tex mex joint in Utica NY called Rio Grande run by Gino Laurenzo. His mother is the Ninfa Lorenzo from Houston.
I grew up in Fort Worth and everyone loves Joe T’s, but I thought it was overrated in my opinion. You can’t throw a rock without hitting a great Mexican Food restaurant in San Antonio.
Beautiful work
I am so excited to go. We live in Japan and I have not had good Mexican food for 2 1/2 years. Bought a house in San Antonio and have not even seen it yet. Our plane lands at 11:00pm and you can bet we will be there at midnight.
How was your food experience?
@@armandoleos9965 ….We didn’t have time to get there, but will on the next trip.
The best Mexican food Mama's Kitchen in my momma's house Six Sisters and they know how to cook
Great vidz, well done!
It's been at least 15 years since my 2nd and last ever visit to Joe T Garcia's and there are multiple reasons for that, the sorriest beef fajitas I've ever had along with an equally bad margarita, all served with exceptionally bad service to go with it.
Ive always thought Country Reporter was pretty accurate with other restaurants I've been to, the selections if Joe T''s and Mia Tierra as the two best Texmex spots in TX seriously has me questioning how many other places I'll visit based on their "evaluations".
Mia Tierra s was OK, but it's no where near the top either, it's just another tourist trap.
I'm a third generation Texan, so I've been eating Texmex my entire life, I'd take Taco Bell over Joe T''s any day of the week!!!!!
Now if y'all want some good quesadillas and enchiladas I recommend El Toro's in Baytown
3 things: 1. This should be called a Tex-mex list. 2. Even being from San Antonio, I wouldn't claim Mi Tierra (my dirt) to be the best anything food. It's cliché, tourist food at outrageous prices. 3. With the size of Texas and the popularity of Tex-Mex here, this should've been a top 10.
lmao, that's a less than flattering translation. Could also be "My land". And pretty sure it was a Tex-Mex list.
Mi tierra does translates literally "my land" not my dirt.
I've been eating at Mi Tierra often for most of my life. I think the food is good, the bakery is over the top and no, it's not too expensive. But that's my opinion.
Come on Mi Tierra is not great food. It's okay, but not better than small Tex-Mex places here. As for affordable, let's take a look at their dinner menu, besides a burger there isn't a plate less than $10. Fajitas for 2 people is $45! Lastly, Mi Tierra can be translated "literally" to my dirt, my dust, my land, my soil, my earth, it's not a one definition word.
@@dannym1459 Been eating at Mi Tierra since I was a young boy. Never had a bad meal there. Have I had better? Sure I have but there isn't anything wrong with their food.
Baby I will be going to Mi Tierra this summer. Ive had so many great testimonials to their great foods
It is a tourist trap. The food is adequate but there are many other Tex-Mex restaurants that tastes so much better.
@@minarosered6699 my uncle worked at MI Tierra and he didn't like the food lol
Mi tiaras breakfast with Carne asaada and beans and eggs is thevbest
I wish there was a good Tex-Mex restaurant in Canada. Oh man, I wish I had known about Mi Sierra both times I went to San Antonio. Next time, I guess.
I love that name of Navigation Boulevard ~
Garcia's and Ray's Tacos in San Antonio!
The Texas Bucket List would love to fight you.
I agree with edfillen. When I lived in San Angelo, Henry's was and still is the best.
What about Tex mex rio grande valley???
Big Texan for steaks and now Mi Tierra for mexican food, I guess this is the Cliche list. All tourist attractions. Btw, L&J Cafe in El Paso is by far the best Mexican Restaurant in Texas.
they don't like West Texas. Cattlemans in fabens should be number one for Steak.
you want good good Mexican food in Texas? come down to corpus christi, Laredo, and the Rio grand valley.
EL TAPATIO In Kingsville hands dwn my favorite place
Oh my gosh. That is so true.
The Texas “Valley” has the best Mexican Food !
You can't call it TexMex if you're farther north than Laredo, San Antonio, or Corpus Christi!
Corpus Christi is full of nothing but taco places, I wouldn't have it any other way lol
TaMolly's in Greenville,Tx off I-30 is pretty darn good Tex Mex.
It's a chain. Keep driving on 30 east and you can eat at the one in Texarkana AR and drive a while more and eat at the one in Benton AR
Alejandra's in Ballinger. You're welcome.
Cancun Taqueria Airline and little York in Houston and they shut it down and they were booming like hell I have never understood that... and Mexican contestant on Crosstimbers
Best Tex-Mex just ran down my right leg 🦵, 😆
Bull! Esparza's in Grapevine is the best.
Joe T's hasn't been good in years.
Lol I just heard the other day from some folks that stood in line for it and said it was awful
I went to mi tiera all the time
What !!! No El Paso ?? Really ?? ... Hands down easily dominates the authentic Mexican food in Texas ... Everything else is Tex Mex .... Mi Tierra cafe is a beautiful scene for tourists...but the food is not on point .... Very small proportions on your plate at double the price !!! ... & so-so taste .... Obviously these reviewers never head out far west Texas .
+Gabriel Zamora Completely agree. Great atmosphere. Their food is highly overrated.
Chile Colorado ...
ASADO, RICE, BEANS!
Rafa's Burritos
I agree. Mi Tierra is a tourist spot.
Must be hard to be vegetarian in Texas. My kind of state👍
Vegetarians taste better.
No not really - as the old saying goes -cows eat grass and we eat cows so that makes vegetarians -
Actually vegetarian restaurants and organic food this n thats growing at a huge rate Honest
Albert Carrillo 😂😂😂
unless you're in Austin
👍
Joe T's, Tupinambas (Tupy's)...
Uncle Julio’s on Camp Bowie in Fort Worth should get an honorable mention.
Honorable mention? I'd put Uncle Julio's in at least the top ten in the state, Mi Tierra wouldn't even make top twenty and Garcia's wouldn't make top 500.
YES. It was delicious to me. I haven't gotten to eat there in years though.
Mi Tierra is a tourist trap joke.
Best Mexican food in Texas? Just go down edgebrook in Houston.
frank da tank Airline Dr on the weekend too.
Holy cow! You guys went with Joe T. Garcia's on your list....they have two entrees fajitas and sub-par enchiladas.... this list should've been dominated by all El Paso restaurants..haha we're done here.
JOE T GARCIA IS GARBAGE! very low quality food!
The had several people bumped off. They will turn up in the desert someday.
Hell blanco cafe is way better than that tourist trap in San Antonio what about Mario super taco or Roland's tacos
Shout out to El Pueblito in Plano
Mariano's La Hacienda
the best Mexican restaurant in Texas and in the world is Don Carlos
Best in Dallas
Herrera’s
Calle Doce
That’s it
Papa Gallo's in Bulverde. The Best!!!
There aint nothing unless its from the RGV.
Brownsville Tx
From what I can tell these are all Tex-Mex places, not actual Mexican food. Two different cuisines the way I see it. There's a lot of good authentic Mexican food in Houston(and SA, too I'm sure) but I'm sure the RGV has the highest concentration when it comes to authentic Mexican food and not Tex-Mex.
Most anglos are too scared to go anywhere south of Corpus though, lol.
Alex Sparks why are gingos scared to go there
Harlingen tx pepes restaurant, la Playa, Las Vegas cafe and San benito tx best mexican food in the state :) Rio Grande Valley
Mexican and Italian
All tourist traps. The hole in the walls that the locals eat at are the best. This is true in all cities.
The best Mexican food is Ninfas. ☺
God-fuckin-damnit. THIS has to show up in my feed? Might as well throw in the Taco Cabana, H-E-B, and Whataburger logos to remind me of how shit Georgia is. I need to come home.
Kinda funny, my cousins over in Mississippi , think Taco Bell is great. I've heard many years ago , never eat Mexican food North of the Red River or East of the Saline River. I believe it.
Tex mex!
Concerned how 500-seat restaurant is doing during these covid-19 times
1-We DONT eat burritos
2-We DONT use corn in the tacos Or the Gorditas
3-The Taco is very big!
4-Bad Beans
5-Nobody in that country knows how do aTortilla
heron gerardo olaguibel garcia Dude, everybody knows how to make a flour tortilla in South Texas. Handmade flour tortillas are the best!
Joe T’s?? So this is most popular, not the best.
Blessings I. An abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏 Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. God bless you. Thank you. God bless you. Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your LORD and personal saviour??? I do. 😊
I have to disagree with Ninfas. They might of been good back in the day. But today the food doesn't have that Tex Mex flavor.
El tiempo which is next to Ninfas is a lot better and is owned by the Lorenzo family too. El Real in Montrose is also better. And guess what,it's also owned by the Lorenzo family.
Ninfas is only famous because it's been around for a long time.
Wth!?!? where Is CHICOS TACOS!!!!!!!
The best Mexican food is in San Angelo, Tx.
Is it still good? I remember leaving their 18 years ago and nothing compares. I think it was called a corner store. Oh my God the line out the door. Freshroll tortillas and they had the absolutely best fajita tacos.
edfullen Mexican or Tex Mex?
Abuelo's Mexican Restaurant and On the Border both in Ft Worth TX, are good places, you miss El paso they have good texmex food also.
This list is rubbish at best. Lubbock and Midland have TexMex restaurants that, without even trying, run circles around TexMex restaurants in San Antonio. The TexMex in San Antonio isn't bad, but it certainly isn't great. In fact, my wife and I sometimes drive three hours on Saturday mornings just to eat lunch at Alejandra's in tiny little Ballinger, TX; some GREAT TexMex there.
El Paso texas has the best Mexican food
san antonio has the best
People come down to laredo tx where there is real mexican food
This is DQ country.
Tasty Mexico in Bowie Texas rocks!
That place is horrid. Had 2 meals there. Got the unbelievable runs both times.
Taqueria San Julian in Fort Myers, FL!
Suproctologo Im kidding, there's no decent mexican stuff in the U.S
Tex Mex and Mexican food are two different things. This is appears to be for the tourists. There are way too many and much better Mexican and Tex Mex restruarants than those listed here.
The best Mexican food in Texas is in California
Nifas used too excellent when she was alive.
No more the food has change too much.
We used too go there once a wk but no more.
The food is not the same or there service..
Taco Haven and Oscar's in San Antonio. YUM!🌮🖒
Damn cant Dallas win anything? ;|
LOL! So funny. In the old days, Dallas had class like no other- downtown Neiman's, Highland Park and SMU. My great great granddaddy who served four years with Hood's Texas Brigade, is buried in Big D, as are the rest of my family.
Dallas is so far up north might as well call yourselves Oklahomans
Joe T Garcia tourist trap and so is Mi Tierra..
🤣🤣🤣
Nope. Ninfa's is a meh. Joe T's environment is the only good thing about the place as the food is another meh. Gringo's is the best I've had so far in the south Houston /Galveston area. Raphael's in Little Elm was good as well as the Taco Bar and Tango Lounge in downtown Dallas.
Anything on el paso, only because its proximity to New Mexican cuisine rubs off a little bit. Not much, but nowhere in texas is there authentic Mexican. You get that at concession stands on Friday night in new mexico.
Well we have chipotle and Taco Bell so 😤
Ugh that's not Mexican or Tex Mex. It's gringo style.
Sylvia S fax those have no taste
Only legit one is the original Nina's. The others are tourist traps.
Ninfas.
The clock restraunt makes good mex food bad not that good service good mex food
Sorry but crispy tacos are not texmex
Joe T's for a patio atmosphere, but the food has always been bad. 20 better places to eat within a 5 mile radius of it
They like Mexican food they just don't like Mexicans lol!!
will that is just like saying people don't like americans but still use facebook and youtube and instagram and google and microsoft and apple and hp and they eat in mcdonalds or another american chain you got it they don't hate mexican they simply hate illegals and who does not ? every country in the world does not like illegals every country has strict rules against illegals every country deports illegals including mexico you don't know what they have in their bag what have they smuggle to your country and it is a fact that most if not all drugs are coming from the south of usa boarder since everyone knows where most of marijuana is growing
second of all this is not mexican food they did not even originated in mexico the main reason they call it tex-mex cause they took mexican food and american creativity and brought something new that even mexican will say wtf this is no mexicana food
You aren't from Texas I can tell..
There is tex Mex here but you forget that Texas borders Mexico?!?! There is authentic Mexican food. And you know when you found the spot cause nothing is in English and you get 10 tacos for like 5$
jerry Richmond yep your right!
We love Mexicans, just not illegal ones.
A la verga
TEX-MEX food is different from Mexican food. A true Tejano or Tex-son would know the difference...
Lol no to this list
Nah, there's better places in San Antonio
Love my Joe T's. It's Tex Mex, not Mexican.
JOE T Garcia, WORST FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD! EVEN PANCHO'S MEXICAN BUFFETT IS BETTER!
Ive never seen these plates in mexico or at home looks like dog food
TexassMEX is not Mexican food. Best Mexican food is found on south side of San Antonio......
Being from the Rio Grande Valley and lived in San Antonio a few years I’ll have to disagree
There’s Mexican food here San Antonio has never heard of before
@@shanecreager433 And you make no sense from what you said. Try again...
charles champion Mexican food in San Antonio suxs
Do your understand that??
@@shanecreager433 are you holding your mouth wrong? Maybe you need some hair around it..
charles champion lol good one
Didn’t realize we were back in 3rd grade
Not Mi terra THAT PLACE is for Gringos
please just say it is Texan food , this is not Mexican, this shit cannot be compared to Mexican food. We don't eat burritos, and the Mexicans that eat them is because they live in northern Mexico and they are already influenced by US . Just stop...
+Fernanda Cruz No one from Texas eats burritos either.
Burritos and Tacos are actually Swedish.
Ahhh nope
Texas is mexico basically with all the Hispanic/Mexicans here
If you are talking about food from Mexico, yeah we only eat that as a specialty. We adapted and put in Texas flare with steaks and flour tortillas Etc. that's what we grew up with. I remember going to Mexico and I didn't recognize any of the food but it was pretty good. Foods are also different in every region just like they are in the u.s.
Lmao.. should be more like “best Mexican food in Texas according to white people.”
Bast Mexican food is in
Mexico also because Texas is 2 feet away from Mexico
Because it sucks
It sucks . If you want true Mexican food, travel to the west.
Best Mexican food is in Los Angeles, Ca. Tex Mex is most horrible food ever.
California in general.
No problem. Stay in California. Don't come to Texas.
See no worries.
