    I visited this restaurant in the Bishop Arts District that sets up a weekend vintage clothing festival right out front on the corner. Inside, the food felt authentic and tasty with solid tacos, savory salsas and dishes. I appreciated the reasonable prices and the festive atmosphere made for a memorable meal. Service was friendly and attentive even when things got a bit busy with festival crowds. Overall the vibe is fun and you get to shop local vintage and enjoy flavorful Mexican food all in one area. I'd go back.

    6 Mini Tacos. Hand and chip for scale

    We tried the 6 mini chicken tacos, and they were good! They came with three different sauces, and the queso was definitely my favorite, rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The complimentary salsa and other sauces were also solid and added a nice variety to the meal. Tejas has a more upscale vibe compared to your average Mexican spot. The decor is stylish and modern, and the atmosphere is elevated without feeling stuffy. The music added to the overall experience, great playlist that matched the energy of the place. Service was quick around 3 PM.

    We dropped into this place after a birthday outing. It was so colorful and loud (in a good way), the servers were attentive and matched our humor and energy. We were already impressed with the service and drinks but when the food arrived we were officially fans. The flavors and creativity of the dishes left our table silent for the first time all night. Forks on plates and the occasional, "THIS IS SOOOOO GOOD" filled the air.

    Queso

    My partner and I ventured to Bishop arts to switch up our date night and stopped by Tejas for a snack. I wish I remember our waiters name because he was phenomenal!we ordered the queso blanco & it was delicious! We also ordered a taco each. I ordered their chicken taco & he ordered a brisket one and to be honest I make better tacos than what I was served there. I did however order a margarita and it was amazing! So, my recommendation is that you get something aside from the chicken taco & you'll be good to go!

    6 Mini Tacos
    Jamieleigh W.

    This place is great! We sat outside and I had the mini tacos - so fun! I love their tall glasses and their mocktails were delicious. It's a great area and fun to watch the stuff going on on the streets - however, the place next door has the loudest music ever and then this place plays music too and there's just a ton of noise around here that makes it a little hard to keep a conversation going. Everyone loved their food here though and the queso is especially great.

    Stopped for a late night bite. Enjoyed a few different types of tacos at this comfortable attractive Mexican food restaurant. I ordered a single Vegetarian Taco, mild but tasty. The rest of the party ordered a 12 taco bite size plate. They enjoyed the little mini tacos. The other tacos were flavorful as well. We had 6 people at our table and everyone was satisfied with their order. The drinks were fun and yummy. Decor was pleasant and comfortable and the service was friendly and prompt.

    Ceviche
    Stacy C.

    What a surprisingly good spot for food and drinks! We accidentally made a reservation for 8pm and arrived a few hours early, but thank goodness it was not a challenge for them as they were able to slot us right in to a nice table out on the patio. We ordered the ceviche, a taco salad, and a few rounds of drinks, which were really good. We'll definitely be back

    Craving Tex-Mex after spending a day of shopping in the Bishop Arts District?? Step into Tejas Tex-Mex for mouthwatering tex-mex entrees and great beverages. The inside of Tejas has a beautiful aesthetic with pretty decor and plants. Tejas also has a relaxing and pretty patio with murals on the side of the building to look at. I ordered the vibrant and fresh taco salad along with a side of delicious elote off the cob. My friend ordered the sizzling fajitas and really enjoyed them! We sat on the patio while enjoying our meal. Tejas has a wonderful happy hour menu with good cocktails. Make sure to add Tejas to your Dallas food list!

    I came to Tejas at the insistence of my brother and his girlfriend, who live in the building directly above it. By brother, a Yelp Elite member himself, confirmed to me that "this is a solid four star establishment, but I think you'll like it." The pretentiousness of that statement aside, I mentally prepared myself for a solid four star experience. Upon entrance we were greeted with a free appetizer (complimentary of living in the building next door) and a server who was quick, charismatic, and highly attentive. So far not 4 star, but there was still room for them to fall. The food came out quickly (another 5 star indicator) and, upon tasting it, was great. More five stars. My brother, increasingly anxious at the exceptional culinary experience unfolding in front of him, began to mumble about a "wholly changed experience" and "the possibility of new management." Afterwards the check arrived quickly, and our party shuffled out full of good Mexican food and a healthy amount of shame.

    Came in on a Saturday with a friend and it was quite busy! Ended up sharing an appetizer but came for the drinks! Customer service was fast and it was very lively. Great location near all the stores and bars. Want to come back and try some entrees!

    6 Mini Tacos
    Yolanda H.

    Cool spot to dip into for bites and bevs. The house chips and salsa was interesting. The chips come with a chipotle/southwest spice on them. Not bad, just different. I ordered the mini tacos. The beef tacos were flavorful and packed a punch.

    Lavender mojito
    Felicia P.

    Only came for drinks and I was very disappointed in the flavor. 2 of us got lavender mojitos-- this tasted nothing like a mojito and not even a hint of lavender. The only nice thing was that they had pouches to take your drink to go. Would not come back for drinks however.

    Potato & Bacon Taco
    Tonya R.

    What's fun and trendy place with really good food and on-point service. I had the brisket breakfast taco (a good value for $6) and my husband had the brisket enchiladas and a potato, bacon and egg breakfast taco. All of the food was well executed and full of taste without being heavy.

The tortilla soup was especially impressive, both in presentation and flavor, and the shrimp tacos were excellent. Honestly, there was not a bad bite all night. Ambiance: The restaurant is beautiful--chic, polished, and much larger than I expected. The different dining areas each seem to offer a slightly different experience, which adds to the overall feel of the restaurant. Overall, I left feeling like I had a genuinely great night out. Great food, great service, and a beautiful setting. Highly recommend, and I will definitely be back.

There was a time when Meso Maya was the go-to for upscale Mexican in Dallas. The culinary scene in Dallas has changed so much that it is not longer the case. But the downtown Meso Maya remains an icon and continues to deliver consistently good food and service. The restaurant still has the warm ambience and remains in good condition even after all these years. It was too hot to sit on the patio so we ate indoors. The interior is smaller than I remember. The restaurant still starts you out with complimentary chips which are strips, and a smoky, spicy salsa. it was great. I started with the a mescal margarita and it was excellent. The kid had Topo Chico and the wife had Prosecco. Everyone enjoyed their drink. For entrees, the wife had her favorite, the vegetable budin, which is like a lasagna. The flavors were deep and rich. She loved it. I tried the carne tacos and they were excellent! The meat was tender and smoky. The beef had been marinated for a wonderful flavor. Good quality with no fat. I usually avoid ordering beef at restaurants because I often get more fat than meat which I detest, but not at Meso Maya. Our server Luis was very good. Present when we wanted and not when we did not. Overall, the restaurant was a hit on every level--ambience, service, and food. We like the downtown location the best and will return.

All seats are high chairs, which my wife would've hated if she'd been on the trip. For us, it was comfortable. The reason this was not 5 stars is that the taste was not what we expected and the prices were high. If you order hatch chili anything, you expect a little spice from the chilis.. I didn't taste the hatch chili in my entree. Question Blanco was a little bland despite it being much higher quality than what I get locally. It was $25+tip for 2 enchiladas, 1 queso, and a soft drink. I recommend giving them a shot. It is a very nice place with nice people.
