    Had the bistec ranchero and it was delicious. The waitress was very nice. The piña drink is delicious too and fresh.

    What a delicious stop on our way home from South Padre! With 3 kids between 4-5 years old. Don't pass this up!!! The owner is lovely and the food is unreal. Feels like going to someone's home, very warm and inviting. Even the salsa was so good. We'll make sure to come back next time we head to the coast!!

    Waitress was welcoming, offered recommendations, she knew the menu. Food was authentic and delicious. Decor and table setting was beautiful and reminded us of home.

    Great hole in the wall in Harlingen. Great food and service.

    Authentic Mexican food that takes you back to home! The Salsas and homemade tortillas are only outdone by the refried refried beans!

    It's a small place packed with good food, good service and good customers! We will definitely be back for more Barbados and chilaquilea!

    This is our second or third visit to Tejano Grill and we thoroughly enjoyed the food and service…read more We ordered a mixture of TexMex, BBQ, a chicken sandwich and seafood between the four of us. Everyone seemed to like what they ordered. My Two Meat BBQ Plate had brisket slices and some smoked turkey breast. The turkey was a little dry but had good flavor and there was a lot of it. The brisket was nice and moist but unfortunately two slices were sliced incorrectly WITH the grain instead of across the grain. This made them tougher than they should have been. Kind of a rookie mistake. But the flavor was good. The grandson's spicy fried flounder was very good. He loved it! The spicy Chicken sandwich was excellent and shared between two of our party. Overall the food was good and the service was very good. The place wasn't busy because it was midafternoon which was nice since it's usually packed on the weekends. We definitely will return when we travel to Harlingen to pick up visitors at the airport.

    As close to the Boarder as you can get with Mexico and this is some of the most disappointing…read moreMexican (Tex-Mex) I have ever had. First, of course, the chips and salsa. The chips were hard as rocks and had zero salt. Seriously NO SALT. They felt like they had been made the day before. The salsa was underwhelming. I was hoping the food would redeem the chips and salsa but they did not. I got 2 cheese enchiladas, a taco and a chalupa. The taco shell Was stale. I dumped the meat out (that's all that was in the shell) onto the chalupa hoping to add some flavor. None! The ground beef was bland. No seasoning- just regular cooked ground beef. Mi took one bite of my chalupa- lettuce and what tasted like baby food beans. The cheese enchiladas had a lot Of cheese melted on them and very little in them. Tasted like melted cheese in a flour tortilla. My husband had the spicy flounder. It came with 2 nice portions of flounder, cooked very well, however once again, it lacked flavor. I thought since it said spicy at least it would have some seasonings but my husband had to have the tartar sauce and ketchup to eat it. The food was very reasonably priced. Had the taste been there I would have recommended it. Nice little restaurant if you are sensitive to spices this might be the place for you. However as native Texicans, we expect our food to have at least salt and pepper. Wait staff was attentive and professional. We had ordered a baked potato go for our son before we got our food. I'm hoping I can update this post, but not holding my breath.
