Our search for a new go-to Mexican restaurant is officially over. Thanks to all who competed but Tex Mex Connection blew you away. The restaurant is definitely different, all bar on the ground floor with a fairly small and rather cramped restaurant on the second floor. Thank god we had an OpenTable reservation. On a side note, I really need to stop mentioning OpenTable or eventually people will realize how easy it is and that causes me to no longer be able to make reservations as I leave the house just to essentially cut in line anymore. I've even made a reservation for 5 minutes later while standing in a restaurant that just told me there'd be an hour wait minimum, rechecked in and been seated ... suckers. But I digress, back to the review. We were seated at a table as soon as we checked in and we're quickly ordering a pitcher of margaritas and appetizers. Followed quickly thereafter by entrees and another pitcher of margaritas. The food came out quickly and was absolutely incredible. The triple combo platter was designed to cater to fat people, but allowing you to also keep buying single tacos one at a time until you can't take anymore is a stroke of fat guy target marketing genius. On to the margaritas ... the pitchers were large, the flavor was perfect and the term STRONG doesn't do them justice. When we left I felt fine, I had just downed a couple pounds of food and I'm not exactly a little guy. As I drove home I started to get a little buzz going. About half way home I was committing a misdemeanor ... by the time I pulled into the driveway it was a full blown felony in progress. Thank god I aced the drunk driving car in Driver's Ed ... Our dinner companions decided to just hang out at our house for a couple hours after we got back because they were in no condition to drive either. I can't recommend Tex Mex Connection highly enough. But if you go and plan on partaking in the Margaritas make sure you designate a driver ... they hit you hard and fast. read more

I understand that prices have been affected due to Covid but $20 for 12 wings is absolutely insanity. I noticed that the number of patrons have dropped as well, I'm sure due to price increases. In addition, the Mexican food is subpar. I had quite a few conversations with people there that felt the same way and they stuck with the wings or burger. I think it's time to add some flavor to the good and make it more authentic. Drop the prices a little and you will see a return of customers. I was a frequent customer prior to COVID but I will be looking elsewhere. read more

This is a great place to go with friends for drinks. I've never actually been here for food so I can't say anything about that... This has been our meetup place when my friends and I would come home from college because of it's central location in North Wales AND THEIR MARGARITAS! I recently went back and while the drinks remained the same, the vibe was different. We were there on a Saturday night and it was almost empty. I'm hoping this was just by accident! Anyway, you can take home their house margarita mix I think for around $16ish. Just add booze! read more

What a wonderful experience I had dining at this place. Had the bacon wrapped gulf shrimp that was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to try your tacos. Mexican cheese dip and chips were great !!! read more

Love this place! I moved out of the area and miss it terribly. Whenever I am in the area I always try and stop even if it's for a quick margarita ( the best!). The bartenders are great, always great service(even when they are mobbed). I've been coming here since I turned 21 and some of my favorite nights were at this place. It's a great customer base, NEVER any BS, just regular people relaxing and unwinding. The food and drinks are always good. By far my favorite bar! I live in the city and have yet to find anything that even comes close. this place read more

Tex Mex Connection - Margaritas!!!!!! The best! - Mexican Near Me - North Wales, Pennsylvania

Before COVID we had been to Tex Amex a number of times. Food and margaritas were always amazing!! Tonight four of us went out for our friends birthday and I was so excited to go back. Unfortunately the food was not good. It had no flavor at all. My friend ordered the fajitas, and the chicken was really dry. I understand that places are trying to bounce back, but to have no flavor seemed really strange. read more

I would give it four stars for the margaritas, but one star for the food. The ambience is nice, but I ordered two Mexican tacos for $10 and swapped the rice and beans out for a (very very tiny) side salad. Think about half cup. The Mexican tacos with grilled Portabella had barely any filling, and the flavor was not good, but the actual softshell was hard all around the edges And it was actually chewy on the outer layer and tasted stale. So I basically paid five dollars a taco, with about 3 tablespoons of filling in each taco. You would think the one thing they would get right at the Tex-Mex connection would be the tacos? I have had better tacos, much better tacos, at California tortilla, fast food style. read more

Absolutely amazing! It was our first time there. This restaurant is very clean. I enjoyed the ambience. The decor was quite colorful. You can tell they are definitely "green" and that's great as well. Erica was our waitress and she was outstanding in service and answering our questions. She was a great help. The food was fresh and delicious. The portions were large and we couldn't get over how tasty the food was. We will definitely be back and have already begun to tell others. read more

I came here for National Margarita Day and this place was packed! Bar was crowded and 2 hour wait for a table, that says something that this is a popular and great spot! My boyfriend and I were lucky to find a seat at the bar, ordered drinks and food and the bartenders were awesome! Always very attentive and checked on us. The manager was my saving grace because he announced they were about to tow a car in the parking lot, and that lucky car was mine! I ran out and was able to move and avoided getting towed and a ticket. The food Is GREAT! We got classic margaritas, shrimp tacos and 7 layer dip. Great nachos, you can tell homemade and have a great spice seasoning. Definitely check out this place! You will have great drinks and a great meal! read more

Used to love this place. Have not been back in years. We were in the area and so excited to visit, but we were disappointed. Margarita was as good as I remember! I had chili Relano which was horrible. My husband's dinner was ok. Service was speedy; a bit too speedy for my liking! read more

I had a cheese enchilada which was served burnt to a crisp. Couldn't even cut it with a knife. Ordered a cosmo which was not good at all. A friend with me asked for Pinot Grigio and they had none. I think if you go for a margarita and chips only this place is good. read more

We have only been this this place a few times and never had a problem. Me and my husband went there tonight and as we were waiting to get our order taking a well feed mouse walked across the floor. He didn't seem to be in a hurry. The couple behind us saw it too. We told the bartender/waiter and he said nothing. When our waitress came to take our order we told her too, she apologized and took our margarita pitcher off our check. I am sorry but I will not be back. If there's one rodent there, there's a million more. read more

Bar on the ground floor and restaurant on the 2nd floor- I've only been there for lunch mid-week. The sushi grade sliced Ahi Tuna appetizer is the best I've ever had! The rub is spicy and tuna delicious. If you don't try it, you are missing out. Overall, the other items on the menu do not disappoint and it is a reliable place for a good meal. read more

Solid 3/5 I got steak fajitas my steak was chewy the portions were okay but for 23$ I don't think so. Staff was great though a little over friendly I got asked how my meal was 4 times within 2 minutes which is nice but when she set my food down she asked me how it was immediately like I didn't even get to try it yet anyway it's a 3/5 due to the steak which was definitely mid. read more

Very interesting place. Very Very interesting. Came here for a Tiki Night (?) and we will never come back here. They have really good frozen margaritas and the drinks are DIRT CHEAP. But that is about it. There are wayyy too many drunk people here and the bouncers are either nice to you or a jerk. I left really quick to check on my friend and before leaving, asked one of the bouncer if I can go outside and come back and he said go ahead. Then walking back, the other bouncer started yelling and saying that I cannot come in and out. Then I pointed at the bouncer who let me go and he was like "WELL YOU CANNOT DO THIS AGAIN" I understand it is a bar and I understand that everyone is drunk and it is tough to be a bouncer but DO NOT let that many drunk people in if you cannot keep track. On top of that, the bathroom was GROSS. like SUPER GROSS, GOT CLOGGED 38402 TIMES. It was a interesting experience but I do not think I will ever come back here. read more

Okay sooo the customer service was greattt, they work good as a team. Things were a little overpriced but the margaritas were worth it. Now to the food, the nachos were horrible and very tasteless with no season. I tried the Tex mex burger I think that was the name, but I ordered it medium and it was pretty raw and mushy but the fries were good thank God. If I come back it would be for the margaritas read more

I have heard so much about this place and I was in the area so I asked my friend to take me here for lunch! I was NOT disappointed! The margarita's were amazing and the food was delicious! I will be going back again and will bring friends with me so they can experience it too! We went at lunch time on a Wednesday so it wasn't crowded, that was a plus as well. read more

Very friendly staff. Good food, big portions. Not too expensive. Awesome casual date night, will definitely be going back.

Updated review from last year: Food was MUCH better this time. The second serving of chips & salsa was a bit oveRpriced, but the food was way better. As I said last time their drinks are made amazingly. Very satisfied read more

Went for their tiki night and couldn't get a seat at the bar so we went upstairs to eat. Worst mistake of my life. Before 9 pm the tiki party is mostly middle aged people and live music and is very uncomfortable. After 9 a subpar dj comes out and the crowd is trashy young people. The WORST Mexican or "tex mex" food I've ever had in my life. I love tacos, they are my favorite food, and these people massacred them. The "spicy" beef taco tasted like Indian food and was barely edible, while the pulled pork Mexican style taco tasted like it was microwaved canned chicken. Rice and beans was even more disgraceful. These people had the nerve to give me some uncle Ben's chicken rice with obviously canned pinto beans. Mess. Safe to say I won't be going back. read more

I just moved to the area and was excited to see this place! It was a big let down. Oddly enough, it wasn't because of the food. The guy that took my order seemed a little irritated that he had to stop what he was doing to take my order. I decided to make my order simple. 3 hard tacos. Well after waiting 25 minutes I get a "what did you order?" from a completely different bartender. She then hands me 2 soft tacos and says that she will get me another one. She was nice seeing as it wasn't her mistake. I decide to just eat the two soft tacos. I asked for hot sauce from the original bartender who just looked at me and kept right on going. Again, he looked irritated with such a common request. 20 mins after I finish eating my two tacos, my last one comes and there was a long hair in it. At that point I just left. The two tacos that I did eat were pretty good but my experience was completely ruined by the disappointing service. read more

I went back, on my own will and no kids. I had the best time. I wish it was less crowded, but if everyone likes it, food good. So yes, kids are the problem. Also, when people can't fit in your restaurant anymore is a sign of three things: 1. They love it () 2. You need more space 3. They are trapped. Please read my previous bad review and learn the lesson, as alcohol and tranquilizers don't mix, kids and good time, either. Best of luck! See you in 16 years! read more

Decided to come here for a quick take out and it was definitely not worth it. The staff is friendly but the food isn't good. read more

Tex Mex Connection - "Taco platter" $10 not worth it for this. - Mexican Near Me - North Wales, Pennsylvania

The Kind of Mexican that People in the White-Bread Suburbs think is Good Mexican. I love Mexican food, so I go here every few years when visiting family in the area. Every time I do I want to slit my wrists afterward. Had dinner there tonight. Ate on the outdoor patio, which would have been nice if it wasn't also the smoking area. Our waiter (Gary, maybe?) disappeared for long periods, but occasionally came by to take orders. I was limited, by house rules, to three margaritas ("dude, they put like 2-and-a-half to three shots of tequila in each one"). Gary: if I had had nine shots of tequila, I wouldn't be able to type a coherent review about how inattentive you were. My meal consisted of chicken quesadillas, which arrived on the standard "don't touch, the plate is hot" plate, but somehow managed to be gooey with gluten and cold. This is truly Mexican cuisine for those whose south-of-the border experience is limited to Taco Bell. One bright spot: the angels on horseback app wasn't bad. But if you are looking for something better than Taco Bell, this isn't it. read more

Tex Mex has been a location that I have frequented many times since beginning to live around the area. As a general review, the food here is neither great nor terrible. You receive complementary chips and salsa which I always a plus in my book. The Mexican food here does not have a very authentic taste but is still good. Meals can be somewhat pricey but I always tend to have leftovers. I highly recommend the fish tacos, so good! The drinks are very good here especially the margaritas which come in a variety of flavors (the strawberry margarita is my favorite). The cap on the number of margaritas you can order is low but is understandable as the drinks are strong. The bar is located downstairs and there is a separate entrance for the dining room which is upstairs which I would not have known had my date not known as it is not well labeled. My favorite thing about Tex Mex is their tiki nights. For their tiki nights they open up the outside portion of the restaurant and play music & offer a wide variety of beer, mixed drinks, and margaritas. These events are cash only so make sure you take out cash before hand because the ATM is always crowded! These events are always such a good time and I highly recommend checking one out in the summer time. read more

Stick to the bar, my last review was of the restaurant portion, I've been to the bar several times since and the service there is way better and they have a kick ass happy hour. read more

Good place, good food, and good people. I haven't sat outside yet because it is always taken or packed but sitting inside the restaurant upstairs is nice and so is the bar area. Come here all the time and the staff has been kind and very good about listening and remembering my husband's requests/picky requests. read more

I like Tex Mex overall. They have a reputation for great margaritas but I think they are overrated. I ordered pastelitas last time I went. I wanted more flavor so I asked for hot sauce and that was best decision I made that night. The hot sauce was my favorite in life. It had strong Chipotle flavor and made my meal great. Prices are ok and the bar down stairs does well for itself. Not many other bar options in this area and much better than North Wales pub. read more

I'm giving them 4 stars for their margaritas. After 2 drinks, you won't realize how terrible the food is.‍

My husband and i had not been here in years since we now live in the Fort Washington area and really enjoy Ambler's up and coming dinning. Anyway, I made a reservation for 2 on Open Table @3:00 for a 6:30 reservation. Was greater by Kyle with an unappreciative attitude from the start. We were placed at a table for 4 people in the middle of the room. I asked if we could sit at a table by the window? He had to go back and check his reservations and replied "no, but I have another table." We were placed by the bar and service area... not the best, but whatever, it was Friday night. Had a lovely waitress Ina that saved the night and good drinks with a decent beer list as well. However being so close to the bar you could now hear how this "Kyle" was talking to a waiter that asked him a question... he was rude and degrading. Felt bad for the guy. The last thing you want to see/hear on a Friday night after a full week of work. So the food was good not great but good. Had the crab quesadillas that were good. Then had the fish taco and beef burrito... again was ok. My husband had 4 different items he said all tasted the same. Was not even sure what was what. We honestly won't be going back. Sorry Text Mex. You have to send Kyle back to customer service classes because he's not nice to customers or his coworkers. read more

I wouldn't order food from the regular menu, the bar menu is the way to go. Tex the bartender is moody, you never know what you are going to get with him. I suggest sticking with Margaritas, Nachos Semana and the garlic wings. The tortilla chips are good but the salsa is meh. read more

"WIngs" review only!! And I am a wing fan. A new #1 wing find in Montco, in my opinion, are the sweet and sweaty wings at Tex Mex. Oh my, these were very very good. PJ's Smee-j's, these are better than the hot and honey wings at PJ Whelihan's. BTW, they went along perfectly with the Founder's Centennial IPA on tap. Life doesn't get much better than this! read more

A great dish of food served with social responsibility! HUH?? First, I will parrot other reviewers about the fantastic food here, you just aren't going to get better southwestern food around these parts. It's all good and has been good for 25 years! We aren't locals, but have gladly made the trek here many times since the place started as just a 1 floor bar with killer food. Now the downstairs is a fun bar and great dining goes on upstairs. But..... That's not what my review is about..... TexMex is one of only 8 restaurants in our state that is certified as "GREEN". This is really cool stuff....They have revamped their systems to such a point that they re-cycle everything recyclable... even the uneaten food which would be thrown in the garbage is now picked up by a company who makes compost with it. Almost all produce is LOCAL and ORGANIC. all cleaning products are non harmful to the environment, the manager even showed me this Darth Vader looking spray gun that takes normal tap water and ionizes it allowing it to be sterile when they clean the tables between guests. Since the implementation of this, they have reduced their trash 95%. There is so much more that I was told about but alas, I have the memory retention of a starfish! All I can say is that it's way cool and socially responsible without the place seeming "eggheaded" I, for one am so very impressed with the attitude of the owner to do this. Other than a few small signs, they don't make a huge deal of it, but they should.. however, they don't have to 'cause the food really does the talking at Tex Mex! So, now dinner at Tex Mex is not only delicious but socially responsible! How 'bout that? I, for one..LIKE IT! read more

Uh well this place is small, food was eh. I love Tex-Mex and Mexican food but not from this place. Food was bland, I got the enchiladas and it wasn't even hot! Service was slow because they only have 2 servers working the entire second floor dining area and one of them was training the other. Um, so never again thanks. read more

TEX MEX CONNECTION!! I moved from Philly back to my hometown after graduation and was very concerned about the lack of options and variety being back in suburbia. Chain restaurants and bars in strip malls just aren't my peice of pie, nor are the bars that every single college kid in the surrounding 5 towns comes home and goes to. Needless to say, Tex Mex was a bit of a saving grace, if you will. There are two floors. The upstairs is just a dining room and the downstairs consists of one small dining room and the bar area. . It is usually pretty easy to find seating of some sort in the bar, but if not you can just stand along the wall until something opens up (there is a bar like shelf on 3 walls) Tuesday Nights - Karoke Night. Wednesday Night - Trivia Night and 4 dollar margs for the ladies. 3 tvs (? Im pretty sure..maybe 4) that usually have some sort of game on it and 1 dart board for entertainment any night of the week. A juke box if your craving your own tunes. I've never had one of their margaritas, but apparently they get you pretty blasted so proceed with caution (there is a 3 limit rule). You get free chips and salsa if you ask the bartender. Very good. If you are eating the food, I recommend the chicken chimichangas if thats your kind of deal. They are kind of small, so 2 or 3 is usually your best choice. But they ALWAYS hit the spot when I'm craving mexican. My girlfriend LOVES the sweet and sweaty wings. I'm not a huge wing person, but I'll even have a few of these when she gets them bc they are good (not spicy). My girlfriend and I always go here for a beer or two and, despite swearing that we won't, stay until close at 2. Usually makes for a really rough wake-up on a work morning. Crowd is mixed. Dinner seems to be more families. Bar area is a range from 21-50 year olds on any given night. But the atmosphere is a perfect balance - not so rowdy that you cant hear the people your with, but not so dull that you are rushing through your first beer to get out there. It really very nice. I likey alot. The only thing I think Tex Mex needs is outside seating for the summer (which they apparently do ONE night, on Cinco De Mayo sp? in the back parking lot). And Maybe a pool table. read more

Great Mexican food in this small town. large menu with lots of options. Food is filling. We had the chimichangas, chili relleno and crab burritos. Very flavorful and great sauces. The margaritas are to die for. 3-and your done! read more

Damn people. Calm down. What do you people expect from here? Luxury dining? Idk im from california so i grew up in hispanic area where you smell mexican food every block of the street so im just glad that i found mexican food in Lansdale. If you all wanna complain about over crowdedness or cleanliness just go to real luxury restaurant or go visit california theres all kinds of luxury in huge city with rich people. Im just giving this place 5 stars for the hell of it. read more

I'm rating the upstairs restaurant, not the downstairs bar. Tonight we went to dinner for my dad's birthday (a tradition for every family member's birthday), and there were so many flies in the seating area that it was almost unbearable. If the food wasn't so good, we would have left, because we spent the night swatting flies away. I'm assuming the other patrons felt the same way. For $40/pitcher of margaritas, I really don't want to sit and swat flies. The downstairs bar is fabulous though. Great bartenders, atmosphere, drinks... no flies. read more

I've been to Tex Mex twice now, once for a happy hour (bar and nook on the first floor), and once for dinner upstairs on the 2nd floor. The first time I went (for the happy hour), I found the staff to be incredibly friendly and accomodating. The little sitting nook they have on the first floor was awesome for hanging out with a large group of people with drinks if you don't want to be in the bar area. Our waitress was wonderful, but I was disappointed after she closdus out because her shift ended since no one ended up replacing her to take care of us. However, as a non-smoker who cannot stand the overwhelming smell of smoke, the Tex Mex bar is not a place I'd like to be. Despite being in the nook, all of my clothes still reeked of smoke the next day. The dining area is upstairs and is very small. Both times I have been there, they have also been hosting a party or banquet in half of the upstairs room-- this leaves only 4-5 tables for seating so MAKE A RESERVATION even on weekdays!! When I went to order Sunset Shrimp our waitress suggested I try the spinach and crab burritos instead (which I had been considering). I was so glad that she did-- these burritos are AWESOME. Huge chunks of crab meat and spinach in a crispy burrito shell with a slightly spicy tomato sauce on top. I am drooling just thinking back to last night. And did I mention their margaritas are awesome? Just be careful, they are STRONG, which is why Tex Mex implements a 3 margarita maximum. So: Great food, great margartias, good service but small space and super smoky bar-- a very solid 4. read more

I am so impressed how these guys hit the ground running after multiple shut downs during this last horrible year. Business was booming Jan 9, 2021-- and Service was really jumping. While waiting for my take out, I watched the service staff and GM just about running between posts, getting it done... I love my Mexican food, and I accept off the top that tex-mex-style food is culturally different from straight Mexican. But I cannot believe what these guys accomplish here, in our little borough of North Wales: these guys whipped out crab burritos... I'm not sure that's authentic to any place on the planet, but the fact is, it was fantastic. I felt like I was at some white glove place. really stupendous sauce on the dish. Kudos to the chef on that. Chiles rellenos has a fun twist-- rosé sauce-- my wife loved. My garlic green beans were CRAZY good, like I'm at Longwood Gardens. No joke!! Don't underestimate folks who can a) cook!! B) hustle!! Tex-Mex does it AGAIN-- after surviving the challenges of COVID yet! SOOO glad you guys are making it!!! read more
