In my opinion, this is the best little restaurant on the island. It's very clean, all of the staff is so friendly, and the food is just so darned good. If you visit on a Monday, do yourself a favor and get their special Chicken Fajita Parrillada. Everything on the plate is delicious, the rice is perfect, the seasoning on the chicken is very good, and their flour tortillas are so good! It wasn't heavy or greasy either. If you're in town, be sure to stop in. read more

Third time going and always delicious! I got the Surprise burrito this time and my husband got the eggs and chorizo plate. The service is wonderful, very friendly, and they let us choose where we'd like to sit. Very nice ambiance. We always make time to go anytime we're in Galveston. Love it! read more

Decent spot for Mexican food with a nice atmosphere and competent service. I came in for breakfast and tried the huevos rancheros. While the eggs were cooked well and the ranchero sauce was okay, I was disappointed that the dish wasn't served on fried corn tortillas as expected-instead, it was just eggs with sauce and a tortilla on the side. On the plus side, the flour tortilla was homemade and really good. I also appreciated that the potatoes are cut onsite and not the usual factory-frozen kind, which made a difference in taste and texture. Overall, it's a solid option, but not quite a standout for traditional huevos rancheros. read more

This is a nice little restaurant, very clean, with friendly staff. We came in for brekkie on Saturday morning and had the breakfast burritos. Hubby had chorizo, egg, and cheese and I had bacon, egg and cheese. The portions were large but lacking a bit in flavor. We might come back for lunch. read more

First visit to Bambu Mexican Grill. My first impression was it's clean! Second, was "Is it Chinese food with a Mexican name?" No, it's Mexican! The decor from the previous restaurant is still there - bamboo wallpaper! The service was great for us. The food was very good and at a very reasonable price. I had a platter with a chicken enchilada, taco, and something else (Can't remember the name). It came with rice, guacamole, beans, and pico. I'm not an authority on whether it is authentic Mexican; my friend said it was Tex-Mex. Whatever, it was delicious and I will go again. read more

The city is doing construction in front of the restaurant, but don't let that deter you. There's a few parking spots out front or you can park on the street. The ambiance is super cute. The front porch is decorated and inviting. Once you go inside there's a green decor wall and it's a cute local spot. Being a local spot, it's not the most welcoming. The restaurant was busy but not crowded when we went. It was our first time and the service wasn't the best. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't very prompt or welcoming. I was brought the wrong order and the waitress was irritated to take it back and bring me what I ordered. I felt bad, but I didn't want the food that was brought. The prices online were $2-3 cheaper than what they actually charged in the restaurant so I included updated menus. I was very surprised to see the increased prices. It makes sense with inflation, but was surprising. The salsa wasn't my favorite but it was okay. The food was great. There were 3 of us and we each ordered different dishes and all enjoyed our meal. We'll be back but it's nice to know what to expect going into it. read more

I came back since they are around the block from me. Service good, but not that attentive. I had the crispy tacos and definitely will be coming back for these for sure. If the food is consistent I will be back. The place was a little disheveled since I came an hour before closing. read more

Bambú Mexican Grill - Crispy Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Galveston, Texas

Had a great Mexican breakfast on a Monday morning! We eat here at least one time every time we go to Galveston.The staff are great as well.

This place was just ok. I was craving a good Mexican breakfast and love barbacoa and saw that this place had it. It was a good sized breakfast but the food was pretty bland. Coffee was just ok and the service was just ok. After my food got dropped off my server didn't check on us until I was halfway done with my plate and I had asked for tortillas and they didn't get brought out til then. My boyfriend ordered a burrito and they brought out a large taco. Ambiance is that of a small cafe with tropical print wallpaper. I would not go back here. read more

Bambú Mexican Grill - Barbacoa Plate with over medium eggs, refried beans, potatoes. - Mexican Near Me - Galveston, Texas

So I drive by this place all the time on my way to another favorite Galveston place of mine, Economy Liquor (so awesome! ); and figured I need some Tex-Mex in my life today. I went in and was promptly greeted and told to pick any table (sweeeet). My waitress was super friendly and helpful. I started with some of the complimentary chips and salsa (made in house, definitely not out of the jar..). I then ordered the beef quesadillas, that came with beans and rice. While I waited I scoped out the dining area, they have both inside and patio seating, which is nice. The bathrooms are clean as is the restaurant itself. The part of the dining room area that I was in was cozy and intimate. You could hear other people's convos which at first might be a little annoying but it just adds to the over all warm and friendly atmosphere. The food was delicious yall, I was more than satisfied when I left and I'll definitely be back! Hats off to everyone there at Bambu; you folks do a great job! read more

I grew up on the border and my favorite Saturday big breakfast morning was always chilaquiles. Regular trips to Mexico to fill up on cheap propane and the Los Alpes motel restaurant across the street led to my favorite breakfast discovery many years ago. Not that lazy Americanized scramble they call migas with everything mixed together in a big soggy mess. Well, after traveling all over the state of Texas on a perpetual chilaquiles quest, I may have found the best rendition yet in Galveston of all places. Perfectly crispy tortilla strips, melted asadero or Oaxacan cheese, a great ranchero sauce, two over easy eggs, with excellent sides of small diced papas fritas and refried beans. Add a side of crispy bacon and it's nap time all over again. Oh, and friendly attentive service with over-sized coffee cups that never go empty. read more

Bambú Mexican Grill - Excellent chilaquiles! - Mexican Near Me - Galveston, Texas

The food was delicious. Service was not good but we went during Lone Star Rally. They weren't prepared for the crowd. We sat outside but the chairs were chained up & no one had a key to unlock. We had a party of 10 so we made it work...even with chained up chairs. I will go back for the food & give the service a 2nd chance. read more

January 4, 2020 in the area and stopped by for a to-go order. Took a minute to be acknowledged because they were full. ( seating inside is limited because of Covid protocol) Ordered a "migas" breakfast burrito and the Mexican plate with one of the following: enchilada, taco and tostado with beans and rice. The plate lunch was delicious in that Tex-Mex kinda way...yummy! But, albeit huge...the burrito lacked flavor. SUPPORT LOCAL BUY LOCAL read more

Bambú Mexican Grill - Mexican plate and a Migas burrito - Mexican Near Me - Galveston, Texas

Service was excellent and the place was moving plates in and out. My husband got a barbacoa burrito and it was very flavorful. I got the migas plate and it was tasty. My tortilla needed more salt and was pretty bland so we barely touched it. Beans were delicious and potatoes were cooked crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. Salsa could have used more flavor but overall a good experience. read more

We ate here for breakfast and as soon as they brought out a freshly made tortilla, I knew I was in the right place!

I don't understand the hype, very basic mexican food Herr in Galveston, and overpriced at that. This was our last stop of 4 mexican restaurants in Galveston and not 1 impressed or would I go back to. They brought ONE tiny salsa bowl out. There were tons of construction workers that day for lunch and the street was closed, so we had to walk to get to it. The quesadilla was an excellent portion for the price, I couldn't finish it all. read more

Favorite place for breakfast tacos on the island. Get the green sauce, you won't regret it!

1/16/22. Great as usual! Had my normal Huevos Rancheros but substituted the potatoes for rice. The rice was very flavorful! We go here at least once a week and usually have breakfast though we've had the fajita beef nachos and the cheese enchiladas. Have to share this photo. These are not dinner plates, they're platters! read more

Came in for breakfast. Restaurant wasn't busy. Ordered and waiting a pretty long time for our food. When we received it the eggs were slightly warm. The potato's were piping hot. The migas were okay. Nothing special. The chorizo and eggs were good. Our waitress wasn't attentive. Got tired of waiting for my bill and got it at the register. All in all a little disappointed since I have heard good things about it. We will try again. read more

Ordered bacon, egg, cheese burrito which was really just an oversized taco. It was HUGE which was awesome for the price (about $7). It only had one strip of bacon in it which was super disappointing for the price and size. Specifically the cheese didn't taste amazing. "Mid". The host was very friendly and quick with takeout orders. read more

If you want good Mexican food in Galveston, this is the place to go! We ordered the carne guisada and barbacoa torta and both were some of the best we've had! The carne guisada was incredibly flavorful! The barbacoa torta was not greasy at all which was such a great surprise! The service was impeccable, everyone was very nice and prompt with service! Will definitely be back again! I also would not describe it as a hole in the wall restaurant, I think it's just not on a major road in town which makes it harder to find! read more

The plate was cold, so the food got cold before I could finish it. The food wasn't really hot in the first place. The chips were stale.. when I ran out of salsa they didn't refill it. I had to get up to ask for a refill on my drink. All the waitresses hang out by the kitchen. They can't even see their tables. It's like nobody cares. read more

This is our go to for Mexican food on the island since finding it in May 2023, we've already visited at least 6 times. Love the fresh crispy tacos, chalupas, the cheese and chicken enchiladas are so delicious. The beans and rice are excellent and we love their chips and salsa. Staff is always so friendly and efficient, they keep the table cleared and check on you often. read more

Food is always amazing as well as the staff. Best menudo and caldo in my opinion. Highly recommend.

Love-love-love this place & here's why: Best place in Galveston for Mexican/tx . Meal. It's not affiliated to any saltwater or Landry's group, they are special on their own. Glass dinnerware, metal cutlery, plenty of napkins which helps in excellent dish presentation of what ur about to eat. THE FOOD,,,,it's the BEST-yum! The salsa is perfectly spicy and perfect, as it should be. I love everything about this restaurant and the service-also on excellent mark! Repeated Refills to your H2O, cafe and they will ask before serving. Parking can be a bit tough but deal with it, it's great food & svc is what we want w/descent prices! it can or does or will get loud bc some customers don't tone it down for others but that accounts to how happy we are to be there! And it's ok they don't offer seafood, and I've adjusted to the odd closing time @2:30. I hadn't been in almost a year, bc I live and work on the west end, and when I've wanted to go, they're closed but hey, every single time it works out for me to finally go bc helps appreciating them even more- thank you ,,,gracias Bambu in Galveston! read more

Love the breakfast, when we visit Galveston this is our spot for breakfast, haven't tried their lunch but I'm pretty sure it's good

While I was on the hunt for a fresh Galveston lunch spot, I stumbled upon Bambu - and what a discovery! This gem truly lives up to the hype, earning its spot among the island's finest Mexican restaurants. On our first visit we shared the beef fajita quesadilla and beef burrito supreme - both were tasty, but the quesadilla reigned supreme. Packed with delicious, marinated fajita beef, gooey cheese, and sensational flavors, it set a new standard for quesadillas. Paired with fluffy rice and refried beans, this was a lunch fiesta that I will defiantly make a return visit. The flavors of the salsa and quesadilla will have you shouting 'Olé' after every mouthwatering bite! #BambuEats #Galvestonlunch #QuesadillaDreams read more
