1 star. Came to El Tejano on Magnolia Blvd for a simple takeout order and was turned away at the…read moredoor. The reason? Their bouncer decided that a lighthearted exchange we were having with a bouncer at a neighboring bar was a fight. It was not. It was casual banter -- the kind that happens between people on a busy street. They did ask us what was going on -- but it didn't matter. They had already made up their minds and simply didn't care what we had to say. No benefit of the doubt, no reconsideration. Just a flat-out refusal to let us in -- not to drink, not to sit down, just to pick up food. I wanted the kale! steak dish! The kicker: we walked straight over to the bar we were allegedly "fighting" with and were let right in without a second thought. Because there was never anything to begin with. We didn't go back to El Tejano. If your door staff is turning away paying customers over imaginary conflicts and ignoring their explanation, you don't deserve the business.

No complaints at all -- the prices were fair, the portions were generous, and the service was friendly and accommodating. You order at the counter, and they bring the food out to your table.

I swear, literally had to sit down in a wicker chair under…read morethe sunny retractable open roof, smile, and take it all in with a deep breath after walking in here because I felt like I was back in 1989. They've managed to completely restore this restaurant to almost exactly what it was like before in the 1980s-1990s, bar counter and all, when it had the most happening happy hour and was the coolest Tex-Mex spot in West Hollywood. Marix has the same upbeat vibe as back in the day and they've completely refreshed it. It's so on point that it feels like you're on a 1990s movie set or something. It honestly felt like Jeff Stryker, Olivia Newton John and maybe Belinda Carlisle plus the Go-Go's were gonna walk in at any minute. :D This was the see and be seen place for locals to meet up in West Hollywood for years. The energy is "totally awesome" and they serve fantastic margaritas and the best chips and salsa. I'm sad to say that their signature dish, the sizzling steak fajitas, is not what it used to be and was mid. Next time I'll try the shrimp fajitas instead, or maybe the chicken is the one to order? But the atmosphere is great, so who cares? Honestly. I like their chips & salsa so much that the fajitas didn't bother me. The scrumptious sizzling apple pie with brandy sauce and vanilla ice cream made up for it. Definitely come here if you want to have a fun time out with friends or a great date. I loved our server and he was really fast and on point with the order. Really want this place to be a success because it's so legendary! They're doing something right because it was packed on a Taco Tuesday at 6:00 PM. I've always been able to find metered parking nearby, but there is the Kings Road city parking structure about a block west. I think you might be able to find parking near the City Hall of West Hollywood location across the street as well.

The menu features Tex Mex fare that is reasonably priced. The portions are generous and margaritas are available by the pitcher. I came here with my brothers for some Sunday Funday shenanigans. They used to come here back in the day and had some wild stories to tell. Our server Branden was F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S! Loved him! The other waiter was great too. The décor here is lively & fun and the retractable roof emits tropical vacation vibes. We started with chips & salsa and a pitcher of the Skinny Margarita. The chips & salsa were tasty and the margarita got the party started. Ole! (We ended up ordering 4 pitchers.) Our food order consisted of: Nachos, Macho Stacked Chicken Enchilada with Herb Green Rice, Shrimp Diablo, Plato De Carnitas, side Caesar Salad, & a side of Fries. The Shrimp Diablo was tasty but needed more heat. The Herb Green Rice had a nice flavor. The Nachos were yummy as were the fries. I do like the food at Zarape' better (which is across the street), but for a fun time and margaritas that pack a punch Marix is the place.

A nice cafe in a not so traveled part in Calabasas welcomes you inside into a cafe that serves Mexican favorites on one part and coffee/beverages in the other section. The atmosphere here is casual with friendly hosts that I have seen. I got the soy chorizo burrito and it was delicious! Very filling and flavorful and I love the side of salsa on the side too that comes in mild, medium, and hot variety. There is also a small side of chips. The main issue here is the price. I would say it's more than chipotle and chips may be more value for your money, but this place still has a good variety and I wouldn't skip it if you are in the area!

I found out about it through my cousin, who's a UCR alum, and I'm really glad I finally got to try it. The staff were super nice and attentive, constantly coming by our table to check if we needed more water, tortillas, or anything else we might want. Even with how busy it was, they still made sure everyone was taken care of, which I really appreciated. The restaurant was packed, and it actually surprised me because I don't usually see that many people at restaurants in Riverside. The energy inside felt lively but still comfortable. One of my favorite parts was the fresh tortillas. They come out hot and fresh from the oven, and you can literally watch them being made right in front of you, which made it even better. And the best part is they're free. We ordered the carne fajitas and chile relleno. The fajitas were incredible, the meat was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor, with that perfect smoky sear that comes from being cooked fresh on a hot skillet. Everything came out sizzling and stayed flavorful with every bite. The chile relleno was also really good, with a nice balance of savory and slightly creamy filling that paired well with the sauce. It was actually my first time trying fajitas, and I can confidently say I'll be ordering them again the next time I come back. I definitely plan on returning while I'm still at UCR to make up for all the years I didn't know this place existed.

We have not been here since the 90's and I have to say, it was much better back then. All in all, there is just no flavor. The salsa tasted like watery tomatoes, our waitress gave us a little side of habanero salsa to incorporate with it but that heat is the extreme for me. We ordered the Mesquite chicken and steak fajitas which were less than average. Not sure if it was just a bad day, but the taste of the protein did not match up to the wonderful smell of BBQ outside the restaurant. The tortillas were just ok, first batch was not even warm. My Michelada was good though. Bummer visit after being away for so long. Looks like the interior could stand a makeover.

Tried this for the second time. I still don't understand…read morethe hype and I'm not sure if it was because I hadn't ate all day and was starving but I enjoyed my chicken tenders this time. But they don't stand up to the hype. It was very crowded on Sunday night both inside and the drive thru mostly high school kids. The service seemed nice and attentive. The place inside was a little dirty but nothing crazy. We ordered through the screen and got our order in about 15-20 min so not too bad. The chicken tenders do taste good with quality. They come out warm, soft but still with the crisp. The Cane sauce is good but the chicken tenders honestly don't need it because the chicken is good itself. I had their coleslaw which also taste fresh. Their fries were not as crispy as I'd like them to be but still had enough of the crisp and weren't all soggy. I had a bite of the chicken sandwich and that tasted pretty good but again I don't know if it was because I really hungry. They have a lot of combos to choose from and come off as a little overpriced. I don't mind coming back but really gotta be craving them to spend almost $20 for one meal.
