I hate to leave bad reviews, but the truth is I'm so confused by the positive things I've heard about this place. I went with my friend and both of our plates were totally flavorless. The ingredients were underripe, they used that presshredded yellow cheese on everything, I really can't think of anything positive to say about the food. So bland. The service was ok, but not great. We can't be the only ones who had a negative experience here, because it was some of the worst food I've had in a while. I wish someone before me would've posted about it, because I wouldn't have paid any amount for what I got there read more

The food was not good so I returned it and it tasted as if they just put it back on the grill, which made it tast worse. It is so disappointing that the owner stood at the counter arguing with customers. He was acting like a fool by saying rude comments and not having good customer service skills. When we mentioned that we would not be back, he told us it was fine with him. I don't recommend this place because of him not because of the wait staff. Horrible experience. read more

Had a GREAT meal there service and attention were excellent plan on going back SOON BTW Excellent prices

I'm not one to leave reviews but it was so good I had to. The hospitality was spectacular. Even more than that the food was so delicious. I got beef fajitas and they were the bomb.com. I highly recommend coming here. Again, I don't really leave reviews but 3 friends and I came here and we loved it. I just finished my leftovers at home and still just as tasty. read more

I was in El Paso quite a bit a few years ago, and this place has the BEST chili rellenos EVER. HANDS DOWN. I think about them all the time, and I have yet to find any other place that even comes close. And my sister wanted to bottle up their enchilada sauce! It's an unassuming place with amazing food. Don't shy away! I wish I could have them shipped to me or get the recipe! read more

I enjoyed this breakfast more than a Dennys or IHOP. Prices were reasonable and they were serving breakfast and lunch at 9:30am. The cheese eggs were some of the best scrambled eggs I have ever had. They were soft and cheesy. The French toast was made well and the bacon was crispy. The service was great and wait time was short. I would for sure go back here to try something else off their menu. It gave me a "mom and pop" feeling. read more

There is seldom that you can find a great restaurant near home if you live in the Northeast side of town. Alas there is a little gem called Tejas Cafe and there food is delicious. I recently went on a Wednesday around 11:15 it wasn't busy at all. I ordered the Green Ground beef Enchiladas they were delicious I love cheese and they had the perfect amount. The waitress was friendly and attentive. As it got closer to 12 it filled ip fast inside. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

The food is always on point here. That good diner food with excellent prices. The service is fantastic and there is always a welcoming vibe. All the waitresses here are wonderful. It may not be the fanciest but it's always clean, the food is hot and fresh, and the staff are friendly and prompt. Don't sleep on this place. read more

This restaurant has been a dyer staple for years and years! Originally a pizza inn, it still has the same booths! I felt a tiny bit nostalgic thinking back on a different time. I have to say first off, the service was excellent. Everyone was very friendly and our server was extra nice! Now on to the food since that's really what is important. The plates are average sized, delicious refried beans, dry rice,little salad. The chile relleno was perfect along with the ground beef taco. The hard part for me to write about is the red chile used in the enchiladas. I judge Mexican restaurants by their salsa, and by their red chile. The salsa was pretty good. Not erhmagerd good but good. The red chile though, was orange. And didn't have flavor. No flavor. We are hoping it was just an off day and that the chef just forgot to put her foot in it. We'll go back and try again! Next time I'll have a big red beer! Oh and they're on the prettiest side of El Paso! read more

Tejas Cafe - Chilaquiles Plate - American Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I don't understand all of the high reviews. This restaurant was averaged at best. I had the sweet and spicy chicken sandwich which tasted good; however, it came with a tiny portion of carne asada fries which cost me about 6 bucks more. My total bill was 15 and change and I was still hungry. To be fair I had the takeaway, which in general means less food so the dining in experience probably would have been better. In conclusion, the food tasted good but at what I felt was an exorbitant price to pay for the amount of food I got. read more

Every meal is delicious. Whatever you're in the mood for. The staff of friendly and helpful

I like this location as it's close to my "second home" when I'm out in El Paso. The service has always been good and the food as well. The meal always starts with chips and salsa. I tend to fill up on these, as I do like them a lot. I've tried a lot of their meals, and I seem to go back to the tacos a lot. They are fresh (and yes a wee bit greasy, but as other reviewers have stated, it's since they were just made). The meat is flavorful, I usually go with the beef, and the beans and rice are as they should be for a nice Mexican meal. If you want some local flavor when you're in El Paso, this is a good place to start. read more

We come here once a month or so for breakfast. Cheap and very good! Once a week, on Wednesdays, a group of friends meet for dinner. Tonights choice was here. Today I got the Philly with jalapenos instead of green peppers. My husband got the green chile chicken enchiladas. Our table ordered everything from the chile rellenos, shrimp bowl, tostadas, several Mexican combo plates and a cheeseburger! Everything was great! Service is always great. And did I mention they have the best banana splits in town? read more

inspite of various "alleged good reviews" I decided to write a review of my experience in this tiny weird little establishment. That is a shadow of Pizza Inn, it was not in all honestly remodeled to look like a Mexican restaurant. Pretty much its Still a Pizza Inn. The service is horrible. The waitresses lack enough brain space to remember the items the customers ask for. We were there this morning and the service was terrible. We asked the waitress 2x for more napkins and a water, 2 x for coffe, and 3 times for a soda. The waitress brought the napkins the coffee and the soda way at the end of our dining experience. The water never came. I cant comprehend how people say the service is great. Thats s not what we experienced. Not all that good. The waitresses spend more time greeting the regulars and hugging and kissing and shaking hands than in serving people. As if greeting everyone surpasses or is more important than the quality of service they put out. They wont change I know it as all the restaurants that get reviewed dont troll around in this site to see what is written about them. So mark my words this will continue at this weird has been pizza inn. read more

I was craving some local chow, as Im leaving for a few months and decided to try this place. Ok yeah so the taco shell was somewhat greasy as mentioned in another review but thats because it wasnt just pulled from a box and filled. The flavor was great! My chile relleno was exactly what I had been craving. The salsa was real - not poured out of a jar like so many other places - and be warned! It bites back!! The chips were fresh, service good and its clean. Win win win!! :) read more

I was in the area, starving, and failed to check Yelp's ratings. Big mistake...I wasn't impressed with the food, not even satisfied. So, I'm making this one quick. Pros: Quiet Great Service Inexpensive Dishes Good Portions Cons: My Meal: Grilled Chicken Breast, which lacked taste. My App: Tortilla Chips, which was stale Overall, good thing Tejas doesn't rely on Yelp to stay in business. They seem to get enough visits from their regulars. Will I be one of those regulars? I think not. read more

This place was very clean, the portions were big and the service was excellent, but that is where the above average stops. The tacos were greasy, the salsa was inconsistent(one bite would be fine, the next would taste like dishwater) and the prices were not all that great. With all the great Mexican places to eat around the area, they really need to do better than that. And this is another old Pizza Hut building. read more

My daughter and I stopped by for a quick lunch today. Tejas Cafe was highly recommended to us by a friend and we were very happy we followed her recommendation. I ordered the number one combo plate and my daughter had the Menudo. Both orders arrived quickly and were deliciously prepared. My platter was large and tasted great. My daughter also enjoyed her Menudo.(See attached photos.) Great food and great service. We will be returning soon. read more

I hadn't eaten there in several years so I decided to try it again. My go-to Mexican food restaurants are Las Fuentes, Rincon de Cortez, La Malinche, and El Zarape. They all offer at least 2 lunch specials, and they include soup and a drink. Tejas Cafe's blackboard said their only lunch special that day was the chicken enchilada plate with rice & beans for $10.99, and it made no mention of soup or drink being included in the price. I tried it anyway. It was reasonably good but the bowl of salsa was half the size of other restaurants, and the rice portion was also smaller. I can't complain about the service. But as far as value for the money, Tejas falls far short of its competitors. After the tax and additional charge for the tea, my bill was over 14 bucks, and it didn't even include soup. I won't make a recommendation but I will say I won't be a regular customer of Tejas Cafe. read more

I come here every couple of weeks when I sub in one of the schools around here. This place used to be an old Pizza Hut and is right next to a Dollar Tree. The service is quick, the food is always good and homemade, and the waitress is pleasant. They have a daily $7.99 special menu which includes tacos, flautas, meat loaf and more. It comes with either tea or coffee. One of these days, I am going to try one of their big slices of homemade desserts with coffee. I sit at my own table now which is facing the tv..and talked to a couple of seniors who told me that the table they were sitting on were their table! HA , Ha,,, read more

Hope your not hungry for dinner as they close at 5. Most people that can afford to eat don't get off work til 5

Prices aren't too bad, actaully cheap. Good portions of food and friendly service. The Mexican combo is the best!

The good - cheap food. decent service. ok portions. The bad - the food is marginal. We went with the wife, kids and I. We all got different plates and nobody was particularly impressed with their food. I agree with another reviewer in that there's tons of fantastic mexican food around town so there's no good reason to eat food that's sorta ok, at best. read more

The place was clean and comfortable. The service was warm and friendly. The chef's salad was... edible. It's as though the chef 's disdain for salads in general were represented here. Our dish today consisted of tiny bits of iceberg, sliced cold cuts and sliced American cheese food product slices. That plus canned mushrooms. The hard boiled egg was its only saving grace. It was boiled perfectly without a trace of the ring of green around the yolk. That just shows that the cook knows what they're doing and should know better. Perhaps some of the unhealthier options are made with more pride. I'd love to try them again and give them the benefit of the doubt. read more
