Tex Mex restaurants in Europe

  1. A

    Taqueria

    You won’t find fresher, limper (they’re not supposed to be crispy!) tacos anywhere in London and that’s seguro (definite) because the ‘Tacory’ (for lack of a better translation) makes its own fresh corn tortillas next door – as you’ll see through the window. It’s a small casual place serving Mexico’s favourite street food. The last time we visited, the Mexican embassy was having a party here.

    Café Du Pont

    There's no question this is a kitschy spot that takes the movie scene a little overboard - all the entrées are named for classic films and TV screens periodically play previews. Still the cavernous place (think industrial) has a feisty vibe. The mostly American menu serves lots of Tex-Mex, pasta, burger and seafood dishes with better than average results. A favourite with the expat community, it's also a good (and noisy) spot to bring the family.

    Texas City

    You'll find excellent enchiladas and gourmet guacamole at this adobe-walled place adorned with authentic Americana including quirky curios like an 1844 framed certificate for the Ladies Fort Hill Total Abstinence Society (from alcohol that is; but don't let it put you off your margarita). It mainly caters to a local clientele, hence portions aren't Texan-sized.

    Glue Pot

    Only the French genius for eclecticism could have created this Irish pub, which doubles as a Tex-Mex restaurant that serves burgers (the Big Boy has an egg on top) and pizzas to patrons seated on bright red banquettes under fake Tiffany lamps. The menu is in English with French translations. Believe it or not, the food is pretty good!

    Veszti

    It hardly serves what you'd call haute gourmande food, but this jack-of-all-trades eatery, on an atmospheric old riverboat on the Mosoni-Danube River, has everything from Hungarian mains to pizza and Tex-Mex. It attracts a fun crowd and the service is right on the ball.

    Restauracja Pueblo

    Next to Bar Mleczny Słoneczny and entered from ul Władysława IV, this eatery dishes up Tex-Mex with all the usual trappings: primary colours, funky lamps and music that really wants to be Latino. The well-executed food is an ­unexpected bonus.

    U Staryho Billa

    U Staryho Billa 'Old Bill's' serves up rip-roaring steaks and Tex-Mex tastes in an eclectic space bedecked with cow skulls, Confederate flags and outlaw country music. Each day begins with happy hour from 14:30 to 17:30 and the chance to try wines from 15 countries.

    Pacos

    OK, maybe Tex-Mex isn’t exactly what you expected to be eating in the middle of Sweden, but the fun decor and chirpy music at Pacos make for a nice change of pace, and the lunch specials are good value, especially the pizza-pasta-salad buffet (Skr79).

    Cómico

    This offbeat basement restaurant is an American-diner type of place, with burgers, steaks and Tex-Mex fare, happy Finnish families, and old movies screening. It's not sophisticated, with a colourful, plastic feel, but the portions are generous.

    Paul Bakery

    No relation to the British namesake, this café, entered from ul Vaynera, is great for a quick snack and coffee, ordered from the counter. It is located in a compound with a several other restaurants of the Malachite empire.

    Tex-Mex Café

    For a welcome change of pace from Hungarian music and cuisine, duck into this colourful cellar restaurant, serving tacos, enchiladas and a shot of tequila to wash it all down with.

    Gambrinus

    As good for a meal as for beer and tapas, this place has pleasant outdoor tables and it does Tex-Mex if you’re after something a little more spicy.

    Texas Honky Tonk

    No-one does Americana quite so well in Tallinn. The menu is mostly Tex-Mex (the burritos are superb), and the atmosphere lively and yippee-ayo-ta-yay fun.

  18. Pronto Bistro

    An eclectic option, located about 100m north of the British High Commission, where you can eat pizza, Tex-Mex and even a few Chinese and Indian dishes.

    Papa Joe's Saloon & Steak House

    Mangoo

    This lively crossover eatery and lounge serves everything from hamburgers to the full range of Tex-Mex, like burritos, chicken wings, fajitas and good old-fashioned steak. There’s a small outdoor area out the back and on Friday and Saturday a DJ works the crowd.
