I came across tejas on my Instagram page looking for a brunch location for my best friend and I for my birthday and I stumbled upon Tejas This hearty restaurant is located in bishop arts with a pretty pastel pink chairs outside there restaurant that is super eye catching The interior is also a delightful sight with there neon sign at the bar and the seatings. Service was phenomenal and the food were very flavorful. The carne asada to me was a bit on the salty side but overall presentation and taste was great. The salsa used for the roasted brisket enchilada was home-warming, tasted like a abuelitas recipe #delish My birthday drink was excellent I couldn't pick on there menu so I had the bartender craft up something sweet and they hit the spot Overall the experience was A+++ looking forward to coming back! If you ever are in the bishop arts area please stop on by and check them read more

A friend who was visiting had asked what was going on in the Bishop Arts area so we headed that way and stumbled upon this place. It's near the end of all the area and looks fairly new. We walked in and got greeted and the lady was nice. She explained certain items on the menu (like their elote comes in a cup with a side of chips). I placed my order and decided to go with the prickly pear lemonade. She gave us a number and we took a seat. The prickly pear lemonade . . . I would recommend you asking to taste it before buying it. My frIend was going to get it howeber I told her to taste mine first and she was glad that she did. I said it tasted like it has cilantro in it, she said she thought it had cucumbers, however the lady at the counter swore it was just lemonade and prickly pear. I ended up adding some sweetener as it was tart. Now, the lady who brought out the food really should have stayed at home today. Her attitude SUCKED! I ordered a taco and elote and the cake to the table separately and she didn't say anything while dropping it off. When I said something to her, she said "it's coming" - okay, I thought you forgot! She dropped off sauces and we had to catch her to ask what each sauce was. Personally I wasn't impressed with any of them. I don't like cilantro and that's what the green one was. The red one was a salsa but it lacked flavor. I'm not a spicy person so I didn't even mess with the habanero or the mole. My taco was good, apparently I read the menu wrong and expected something else but hence why I won't complain about that. The elote was okay - I had to addd salt and the salsa to it. My friend enjoyed her meal - said the chicken and steak were good but also agreed that seasonings need to be worked on. And we both agreed that customer service needs to be worked on. read more

Vegans and vegetarians beware. I checked Yelp first and Tejas had vegan options one at one point! I knew I was in trouble when I asked the server to help me order and he said, "first off, don't eat that salsa because it has chicken stock in it". Chicken stock in salsa!!! How many vegetarians have made this mistake??? I ordered some veggie fajitas and they literally, did not have any salsa or taco sauce besides the one with chicken stock. They offered me Tabasco. I swear I had some Taco Bell sauce in my purse I wanted to get out but didn't cause that would have been so so tacky. I just don't get how you don't have a vegetarian salsa in a Baja/Tex/Mex themed restaurant! Again, chicken stock in salsa??? I waited a week to write this and I'm still not over it. Also, I'm their beans have meat. Also, they said their rice but hard to trust at this point given the other culinary decisions and that include random animal products. Next time we will go across the street to Nora or to Veracruz. This place is so cute and has a lot of potential but their menu is not as diverse as the neighborhood it serves. The guac was fire. Good job with that! Between that and the awesome Ranch Water, and the great vibe, I'm giving three stars. Then again I left hungry so there's that read more

Carne asada fries... speechless.. they are absolutely delicious. To the point I'll go grab them as a side for my dinner if I find a way to pass by them. Great service inside as well. read more

Went here after been turned away at the door because I didn't have a reservation on several occasions (even when they were not obviously busy. I am not a plan a casual dinner ahead kinda gal so it took me a while to finally get around to going. Boy was I disappointed. The service was good. The restaurant is obviously beautiful. The food was only OK. We had the famous tiny tacos and the carne asada fries. Neither were great. The tiny tacos were dry. The salsa was smoky if not hot and enjoy the chips and salsa. The carne fries were seasoned curly fries and that was just not great. The margarita on the rocks was honestly one of the worst I've ever had. It was like a warhead circa 1998. So sour, so tart, I asked for orange slices and simple syrup to help it along and it was still terrible. We left unfinished drinks and food on the table and the waitress never asked if everything was ok or anything. Definitely not a great experience. Which really stinks because I was so excited read more

Okay y'all tbh I thought this was going to be overpriced Tex Mex that wasn't going to be very good but we really wanted some while at Bishop Arts, so I came in with low expeditions given the positive reviews.... It was damn good!! The staff was nice, consistently walking around. We got 2 breakfast tacos, 1 brisket (the queso on this was blanco which I love) and 1 chorizo along with chicken quesadillas (it's an appetizer but def can be an entree with the size) and a side of cilantro rice! But the BEST PART about this place was the chips and salsa! The chips are seasoned and omg the salsa is hands down the best salsa I've ever had in my life and I eat at a lot of Tex Mex / Mexican restaurants everywhere. It's got a subtle kick to it along with a limey kick ?! Hard to describe, I still dream about it Tejas, your salsa rocks, don't ever change! I will be back for it! read more

I was walking around Bishop Arts and passed by this cute restaurant. We decided to stop in and grab brunch here and it was such a cool ambiance. If you're looking for a fun Tex-Mex spot this is it. I got the cheese enchiladas and they were super filling. The elote was great on the side- once again very filling. The food was nothing special but its just a great place to have a fun lunch with friends. Service was good too and they helped us navigate the menu to make sure everything we got was vegetarian. read more

We went to celebrate my friends birthday here and the ambiance was good and the waitress was super nice! The drinks were also pretty good! The food on the other hand was okay, which is the reason for only 3 stars. Also, we noticed throughout the night that people kept slipping on their slippery (what looks like polished cement) floors. We even witnessed two waitresses that dropped plates that night (as pictured). One plate landed right behind me and luckily the pieces didn't cut my leg. I hope that management sees this and really considers putting floor mats on these slippery floors because someone could get seriously hurt, employee or customer. read more

This is such a cute spot! Hubs and I walked in about 15 minutes before closing and they didn't bat an eye at the fact that they were near closing time. Treated us very kindly and even suggested a favorite taco :) The tacos were on point!! And the tortillas were perfect! I love that they give you 4 different salsas to choose from to add the finishing touch to your tacos (my fav was the green salsa; hubs liked the red). Oh! And they serve breakfast tacos all day - that was my husbands favorite lol, followed by the brisket, then chicken. We also had the chips and queso. We both liked the flavor of the queso, but the consistency needs some work. It was way too thick and sticky-like. Don't judge us, but we also got the curly fries! I mean, what other taco place do you know that serves curly fries??? (Granted, this place also serves burgers, but whatever) Curly fries. Were. On. Point. Yaaaaaasss!!!! Seasoned with Taki seasoning and Tajin...yep! Good!! We'll be back! Oh, and shout out to George, the general manager, for being so kind and inviting. Can't wait to see his wife's finished mural! read more

After a morning of marathon shopping for a trip, my friend and I stopped at one of the newest spots in Bishop Arts. Serve street tacos, burgers and sides. I had the braised chicken tacos and he had the burger. Both meals were excellent, no downside here. For solid stars. Why the "3" star rating? Extremely loud atmosphere where we couldn't hear each other. Staff weren't very friendly, so this might be our one and only trip. read more

Came here on Brastille night, about 20 minutes before closing and sat at the bar. Our bartender was awesome! He started us out with some drinks (a margarita for my husband and a tropical sunshine for me). Let me tell you, best mocktail I've ever had! Although we arrived so late, the service was fabulous, our bartender was just the best. We also ordered the fajitas and although delicious the rice was subpar. Sakai was in point and ai was the tenderness of the steak. 4 stars for the food but 10 for the service! Wish I would have gotten the bartenders name, talk with curly hair. He was great! read more

Bishop Arts is a fun spot to hang out. Lively, energetic, plus great bars and restaurants. We found Tejas on a whim. Our plan was to walk around and see where dinner takes us.

Tejas - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I am bumping it up to a 5 for two things, the delicious elote, and the budget-friendlyness. Tacos are cheap - about $3.per and two are plenty. I got the breakfast taco (would have been better if the bacon had been warm/freshly cooked, and the brisket. Hubby got the steak and the pork. We also had the quest (and as I mentioned the elote) Another minor quibble is that the chips served with the queso were pretty broken, but the elote also came with chips (that were less broken), and we preferred the corn with just a fork anyway. The chips were the ultra thin (good) kind, and I am wiling to bet they were house-made. read more

I flew into Dallas to visit my friend one Thursday evening and when I asked what I wanted for dinner, I said tacos or Mexican. She gave me several options and I chose Tejas after looking at the menu. Since she lives nearby, we walked. When we arrived, we were told it would be about a 30-minute wait but we could wait at the bar. All tables in the restaurant were occupied, but there were several open tables on the patio; maybe they were short-staffed? So we went to the bar, which was also full, and stood near the end. The bartender asked if we'd like to order a drink while waiting. We wanted two sunset panthers, but he said it'd take about 5 minutes for the machine to finish freezing. We decided to wait since we had to wait anyway. A few minutes later, two people get up from the bar, so we sat down, had some chips and salsa, and started on our drinks. The chips and salsa were...different. The chips aren't your typical tortilla chips...they're thicker than usual with a unique taste. Not bad though. A few minutes later, we were able to sit at a table. Our server came and took our food orders. I got the brisket & queso tacos and my friend got one brisket & queso taco and one brisket & queso enchilada. Our food arrived in good timing and the tacos were absolutely delicious! I also enjoyed the rice and beans on the side. Overall, this place was cool - great food and drinks, good service, and a nice atmosphere. read more

It is a nice place to visit in the area. I wouldn't say it's anywhere to write home about. Mediocre, over priced drinks. The food was alright. Would not be anywhere I would revisit unless I was invited by someone. The service was fine and the staff was friendly. Overall, I did not find anything unique or superb. There are way better places for Tex Mex that have better food and drinks. read more

Amazing food in the neighborhood. It is vegetarian friendly and gluten free friendly too. I loved the curly fries they were super delicious also pretty huge plate. Got the corn tortillas for the veg fajitas again pretty good portion was good enough to be split. The kids got cheese quesadillas, they enjoyed as much as the fries. If you're visiting first time here, just to let you know there's an open parking plot adjacent to the restaurant which is complementary. I pulled back the one star only because the wait time to seat was close to one hour, even though they had open tables. read more

This was my second time at Tejas. I was there last year and couldn't remember the experience which should've been a sign then. The frozen margaritas were good and the guacamole was decent once you got over the fact that there were giant chunks of avocado in it. It almost felt like they started the guac and we had to finish it table side. Everything else was just so-so. I had veggie fajitas and wasn't a fan of the sauce at all but was super hungry so I just went ahead and ate what I could since there wasn't much else I could order on the menu as a vegan. The flour tortillas were super good tho. The service was hit or miss. I feel like I watched our margaritas sit at the bar melting for a spell before they got to us. The ambiance is super cute though. Overall it isn't for me. I may come back for a drink and guac in hopes that I won't have to complete it myself.. but only if I'm in the area. (Also included a pic of my friend's chicken quesadillas that barely had chicken in them) read more

This is our second time coming here and have loved it both times. It is a modern Mexican vibe. I got the skinny chicken fajitas which were amazing. The only difference is that it came with more vegetables and no rice and beans, the chicken was seasoned great and I am not usually big on seasonings. The beef quesadilla was the best quesadilla we've ever tried which is saying a lot. We sat on the patio which was not shaded and had no fans on a hot day so that was definitely not ideal and would not recommend. The service was okay but a little slow. Would definitely reccomend and go back. read more

~Extremely~ mediocre. I will start off by saying the pros. First off the atmosphere is cute, they had great decor, and I liked the cups. However my cup had gross stuff on it and I had to switch it out immediately. The salsa was not very good compared to other tex max. Taco platter was not bad but for the price for 2 tacos for $16?? In my opinion it's a skip. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! read more

Felt compelled to have to leave a review just cause what I noticed. I arrived to my reservation on time and before we even get seated the girl tells us "you guys only have 90 minutes to eat" like what are you even talking about we havent even sat down yet and already setting us a timer. Then 30 minutes into eating they do last call on drinks after already taking forever to bring the first drinks out. I rush to eat my food as instructed because they took forever to bring it out. Only to have to wait 35 minutes for them to bring my tabs. Service-1 star Food -2 stars bean bland and rice bland. Queso is just velveta cheese and rotelle diced tomato's in a can but charge $15 I THINK Drinks 3- good bar selection All in all avoid I can't imagine this place staying open much longer. read more

A cozy and trendy little spot in the Bishop Arts district in Dallas. Here you become intrigued with the decor, lighting and of course the drinks and the food! We shared a plate of the Carne Asada fries that was delicious! Very hearty, flavorful and filling, definitely a sharable plate. For drinks I had the Frozen Tejas Paloma which consists of tequila, lime, grapefruit and tajin on the rim. Initially the drinks don't feel alcoholic but they will sneak up on you. The place is friendly, I love the atmosphere. Last thing to mention is that the men's bathroom was out of service, there was a sign recommending using the women's bathroom. I found cute and amusing. read more

They remodeled in here and it looks great! Very chic, welcoming atmosphere. Staff are friendly and the cocktails are great... Strong, but not overwhelmingly so. The brisket enchiladas were good, even though I was expecting them to have the queso inside, rather than outside. Took a second to get used to, but the flavor was good overall. Their homemade churros were fresh and not too sweet. I really have no complaints about this place. Loving the new vibe here... I'd definitely recommend. read more

Always impressed with this restaurant any time I come, whether it be for date night, quick cocktails, or a fast paced lunch break. This is my go to stop for Margaritas in Bishop Arts, however the Adult Film Star is the cocktail I keep going back to. The attention to detail "shines" through this sparkling cocktail. Food wise, the Carne Asada fries are my all time go-to for pleasing a crowd! When dining alone, I'll stick with their Classic Queso and Chicken Poblano soup to get me through my hectic day. Don't even get me started on the fajitas! Their preparation and quality in every ingredient make this the perfect dish for fajita fanatics! If you haven't checked out this place after the past season remodel, you are doing yourself a disservice. Stop what you're doing and Get! There! Now! read more
