Excellent Mexican diner. Breakfast with coffee under $8. I recommend the Mexican breakfast with corn tortillas. Large crispy golden brown potatoes, eggs with pepper, onion and tomatoes, and refried beans. I added an order of crispy bacon. Perfection! read more

Delicious and cheap breakfast burritos. I love the potato, egg and cheese or you can get meat too. The salsas that accompany it are great too. The ladies behind the counter are really sweet and everyone is very friendly. I am happy to have this little what seems like family-run Mexican joint in the neighborhood. It's been in Bishop Arts before it was Bishop Arts and I hope they stay! read more

Everyone is talking about breakfast but this is my favorite lunch spot! The best thing on the menu: "Caldo de Res". A wonderful beef soup with tons of veggies. But don't get the "large" unless there are two or more of you! read more

Whenever I visit my hometown of Dallas, #1 on my priority list is to get some authentic Tex Mex b/c as you probably know, you CANNOT get Tex Mex anywhere but Tex. My folks live 10 minutes from Bishop Arts and El Jordan is one of their favorite spots. We stopped in for lunch and I had the cheese enchilada combo platter. Mercy. Fat and delicious. And the salsa is hot like I like it. Mom had the same; Dad had the chicken quesadillas. Rice and beans were great, also. Our server was very friendly. The price was right. No complaints! Will be back! read more

El Jordan Cafe - Front window - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Maybe we need to try this again. Nothing really stood out but we should try it again. For the person that was pissed that they didn't know what a mugs taco was, not everyone grew up on something like that. Order a plate of Migas with a side of flour tortillas and make your own damn taco!! LOL (Joshua L) read more

If you are looking for an affordable, filling and tasty Tex-Mex breakfast look no further, El Jordan is here! The prices are unbelievably awesome. They say that the burritos are like taco size but they are like burrito size, the pancakes are huge and fluffy, the potatoes are a plenty and done just right and they give chips and salsa. I was full until dinner after my brunch here. Yum! read more

Awesome Denver Omelette. Best I have ever seen!!! Salsa. Awesome. The fajitas were amazing. Meat was tender. Had to ask for cheese but everything else was perfect. I will be back to try other. Atmosphere is a little rough and so was the seat. Butt sad, tummy happy. I will be back. read more

Never disappoints. Nothing fancy or overkill hype, just straight to the point, GREAT Mexican breakfast and lunch. Period! Best place in Bishop Arts. read more

Just grabbed some breakfast tacos here this morning - have been meaning to check this place out but the hours have made it difficult (close at 3 p.m. daily). I think El Jordan is one of those neighborhood spots that is frozen in time, from the decor, to the recipes, to the prices. This place gets extra stars for value, and the salsa is one of the freshest I've found in Dallas. No homemade tortillas is a bit of downer, but all things considered this is the quintessential Mexican breakfast spot. Coffee was solid, too! I can see myself eating there more now that it is on the radar, and it is even worth a trip from outside the O.C. if you're craving migas, which looked amazing. read more

Tasty authentic Mexican Food. Not tex-mex, but Mexican. If you go for brunch on a Sunday, wait times can be longer including service wait times. 5 of us were in and out in an hour and a half. read more

El Jordan Cafe - Sunday morning tradition! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Our favorite place for breakfast. We get a breakfast burrito for $1.50 and feel Full....but always find room for the pancake as dessert. Coffee refills are steady. Ahhh it's our go to in Bishop Arts. read more

The restaurant is simple. It's a community Latin-influenced diner. If you're expecting steps of service, go somewhere else. You seat yourself and pay at the counter, nothing fancy, but the food is incredible and the people who own and work at this place are kind and loving. read more

Honestly had high hopes for this place due to all of the hype bout it and the hours , seems like I I visited like 4 times and each time they were closed. Finally came I was either like its this or Norma's. Long story short I should've stuck with Norma's cause this place didn't wow me at all :/ food was bland to me and my husband absolutely hated it No flavor , food was bland Cheese sauce on burrito wasn't even cheese , tasted like gelatin. Meat was questionable read more

Love Love Love! Service is a tad bit slow because there is only 2 or 3 waitresses but they're on top of everything even though it might not look like it but they are. It's worth the try especially for breakfast!!!! The burritos are huge & stuffed!! You won't be disappointed! read more

I am addicted to El Jordan's Supreme Nachos. First of all, their chips are great (as is their salsa) and each individual nacho chip is piled high with layers of beans, meat (I like the shredded chicken), cheese, guacamole and sour cream. There isn't a chip on the plate that doesn't have half an inch of layered goodness on it. I like to bring a friend and share one plate because I can't finish it all. Their prices are great too. yes, the service is relaxed but it's the kind of chill hole-in-the-wall place that you can call "seniorita!" across the room and no one will bat an eye, so if you don't get what you need it's probably partly your own fault. Just sit back, relax, and keep an eye out for one of the employees passing by. If you're coming to Bishop Arts there's any number of awesome places to eat, but don't miss out on the fact that those of us who live nearby and can go to any of them anytime regularly pack into El Jordan and call in all the time to take breakfast to go. read more

This place is authentic. Wether you're in the mood for breakfast or lunch, it's amazing food and great service! The horchata drink is real and not made from that concentrated stuff. read more

We love this place. We go to Oak Cliff just for the Bishop Arts District and this restaurant. Go early, there is only about 15 tables in the restaurant and they fill up quick on the weekends. The service and atmosphere is no-frills. Definitely a hole in the wall, which adds to it's charm of chipped painted walls, Mexican floral plastic table coverings, and ripped booths. Anything you get here, breakfast-wise (never have had the necessity to venture out to the rest of the menu, though I have heard their enchiladas are awe inspiring) is delicious. Their scrambled eggs are always buttery and very garlicky. Eggs over easy, medium? They have always been just right. The frijoles are just about the tastiest in town and the potatoes that come with the breakfast are fried just right and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Ask for their hot sauce, it is homemade and again filled with garlic and just the perfect amount flavor. It's not too spicy, but it is so damn good, it really doesn't matter. After you gorge on the best damn breakfast you had had in a long time, and have just a liiiiiitle bit of room left, ask for a Strawberry milk drink. It comes in a huge 64 oz Styrofoam cup and it is sweet nectar of the Mexican gods. My son could drink the whole thing if we'd let him. Pay your tiny tiny tab (three of us spend about $10-$12) and go on your merry way. My only complaint, and it is only because I am a freak, is that you smell a bit like the restaurant after you leave there. It will always happen where there is frying or if it is very small, which it is both. I have a problem with that, but I am trying to get over it, and it should not deter you from eating one of the best comfort foods in town. read more

I had me some pretty mean Huevos Mexicanos here when I visited recently. I love this place. I also liked that we had to share a table with some strangers--in Dallas of all places! read more

This is another place in the Bishop Arts district and is actually still a hole in the wall, its nothing fancy at all but it does get a crowd on the weekends. (Some people even drive over from Dallas- which amazes me still!) I'm thinking they are even open now on Sunday but double check before you go. We usually go here for breakfast and I really like their chorizo/egg tacos. The place is homey and usually has a short wait. The service is slow but just sit down and enjoy. Its very inexpensive, tacos are something like 1.50-2.50. A good mix of folks here too. read more

I just took me 15 minutes to setup to review this place... But that was less time than it took to get a refill on my coffee. I have been here about 10 times and piss poor service is consistent. I would steer clear of this place by all means.. Not sure how they are getting good reviews!? They must be paying someone to do so! Not a return customer after this! read more

Funky and delicious! Hoping this old Oak Cliff treasure stays exactly like it is, where it is. It would be a shame to lose it to all the encroaching gentrification happening around the 'hood. read more

The only good thing was price, average food and bad service. No one came back after giving us our food, we didn't get all of our condiments and when we asked other servers, they would have an attitude. read more

I ordered 2 breakfast burritos because a reviewer said that they were small. I was ill adviced. These things are huge. One is enough. There wasn't anything memorable about them. I couldn't made it in my kitchen, would've saved me the gas I waisted getting here. I also ordered 2 barbacoa tacos , those are a completely different story. Can you say delicioso! The remind me of Fuel Town tacos, not to be confused with fuel city. I will definitely be back for them read more

El Jordan Cafe is a very local and unassuming mexican diner in the middle of the bustling and trendy Bishop Arts District. While I have been to BAD many times and walked past El Jordan, I never thought much of it and it was usually closed. But if you are in the area for breakfast or lunch, this is a great affordable option. The sour cream chicken enchiladas are wonderful! The service is friendly and the clientele local. Will definitely be back for breakfast to try some of their $1.50 breakfast burritos! read more

Great breakfast place and you cannot beat the prices! It gets crowded so get there early or expect a wait.

I've been here on multiple occasions and every time I go it does not disappoint. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly, and it's right in the heart of the Bishops Arts District. They close at 2 or 3 so don't wait to go taste their delicious Mexican food. read more

The staff was very nice and friendly !!! Authentic Mexican breakfast, it was delicious . I had the huevos rancheros and my husband had menudo. The wait is not long and the staff is very attentive! read more
