Tex-Mex
Mexican restaurant · Sliema, Malta
Nestled in the heart of Sliema on Triq Elija Zammit, Tex-Mex has earned its 4.3-star rating from nearly two thousand discerning diners, a testament to its consistent charm. What sets this apart is its unapologetic celebration of Mexican comfort food in a city more accustomed to Mediterranean fare. As the evening light softens over the limestone walls, the warm, convivial atmosphere invites you to unwind, far from the tourist throngs.
The menu offers hearty plates at ££ prices, with regulars praising the steak and sides, or the playful hotdogs elevated with a dirty martini. As one guest noted, “Even such a simple dish can turn into pure joy,” a sentiment shared by many who return for the fast service and top-notch food. With vegetarian options, wine, and beer available, it suits couples seeking a relaxed dinner, families sharing plates, or solo diners enjoying a well-made drink.
Open daily until 1am, Tex-Mex is a reliable choice for late dining or drinks, especially with its happy hour. Reservations are advised, particularly on busy evenings, and its location in San Ġiljan places it within easy reach of the waterfront. For a taste of Mexico in Malta, this is the place to be.
